After the rune mosquito concept failed, Wen Wen issued a bounty task at the foundation's research institute to study ways to reduce the mosquito population.
He was no longer bothered by mosquitoes himself, but many ordinary people were still suffering. Nearly a million people in the federation died each year from diseases transmitted by mosquitoes!
Therefore, mosquitoes posed a threat to humanity no less than some fierce monsters.
Wen Wen's bounty for mosquito eradication was not out of personal vendetta, but to save innocent lives!
Well... that's what Wen Wen said when he posted the task, but in reality, he just found mosquitoes utterly detestable.
Unfortunately, the foundation's research institute had yet to provide him with a satisfactory answer.
The weather had turned cold, and it wasn't the season for mosquitoes to be active, but Wen Wen still felt an uncomfortable sensation upon hearing the sound.
Moreover, the mosquito's sound was excessively loud, like hearing the vibration of a mosquito's wings next to your ear when playing on your phone with the lights off in the middle of the night.
Wen Wen turned his head and was startled. A mosquito was indeed flying towards him, with a wingspan of nearly a meter.
It seemed this creature considered Wen Wen a delicious meal.
"Mosquitoes are inherently evil to the core, and anyone who creates such a large mosquito is unforgivable... Wait, I'll kill you!"
Wen Wen's face showed a cruel smile. His chain instantly grabbed the mosquito and pulled it to his side.
He wanted to cut off the mosquito's wings, saw off its mouthparts, he wanted to...
"Ugh..."
Wen Wen abandoned his wicked thoughts. The mosquito had become too disgusting at this size.
Especially its dense compound eyes, which looked like tiny grapes neatly stuck onto a hemispherical surface...
"It's all yours."
San Zai crawled down from Wen Wen's shoulder, enlarged its mouth several times, and swallowed the mosquito. It smacked its lips afterward, finding the mosquito delicious and juicy, with a flavor that only deepened with chewing.
However, after it finished eating, Wen Wen no longer allowed it to perch on his shoulder; he simply stuffed it into his pocket.
After eating such a disgusting creature, it needed a bath before it could rest on Wen Wen's shoulder.
Having dealt with the mosquito, Wen Wen looked solemnly in one direction.
"That little thing must have wanted to lure me here, to show me what's here..."
Wen Wen spread out his senses and immediately detected the aura of a demon, so he flew directly in that direction.
However, the first sight he encountered made Wen Wen unable to resist acting immediately.
...
After these demons emerged, Du Kedan's scalp tingled.
These three were creatures without skin. Although their aura was not strong, his other demon hunters found it difficult to deal with so many tentacle monsters simultaneously.
Furthermore, the tentacle monsters under the Chair Head Dad and Hammer Head Son had reached Disaster-level strength. If these two monsters were also deployed, Du Kedan's subordinates would definitely not be able to hold on.
But these monsters were not the biggest problem; the problem was that Chair Head and Hammer Head, the two demons, were both Upper Sequence Great Demons!
Upon seeing these two emerge, Du Kedan knew he was in trouble. This place was likely a trap set for them, the demon hunters.
Hammer Head Son licked his lips, "Little friends, go take care of these brothers and sisters."
As soon as the words fell, the more than thirty red-skinned tentacle monsters were unleashed, and the two Disaster-level ones also slowly advanced in this direction.
Countless tentacles with sharp teeth whipped through the air, creating a terrifying and chilling scene.
"We're done for this time, you guys retreat first."
Du Kedan roared, wielding his two long sabers in succession. The flashing blades cut several tentacle monsters into pieces. Then, he broke through the encirclement of these tentacle monsters and slashed at Chair Head and Hammer Head, the two demons.
At this moment, only Du Kedan could buy time, so he had no other choice.
The remaining five demon hunters did not waste the time that the bearded man had sacrificed his life to buy them, scattering in five directions. There was no melodramatic scene of sticking together.
Hammer Head Son sneered, not bothering to dodge as the silver demon-slaying blade struck his skull. The impact vibrated through Du Kedan's hand, causing it to go slightly numb, but Hammer Head Son didn't lose a single strand of hair.
"My head is an incredibly powerful divine hammer. Attacking me with a saber is like an egg hitting a stone!"
But Du Kedan did not retreat; he continued to confront the two demons head-on, buying time for the others to escape.
The demon hunter with the scar also stopped, standing behind the remaining four teammates. He clenched his fist and struck the ground, causing a silver, twelve-pointed star rune array with a diameter of over twenty meters to appear on the ground.
The gauntlets in his hands were also supernatural items that could activate this binding magic array. This rune array had an inhibitory effect on all demons.
However, to his surprise, the tentacle monsters ignored the magic array and rushed towards the scarred demon hunter.
These red things were not demons!
But at this moment, it was too late for the scarred demon hunter to dodge. After killing two tentacle monsters, he was completely enveloped by other monsters with their tentacles.
These tentacles were lined with sharp teeth, and moments later, thick blood flowed from the tentacle sphere.
Du Kedan's eyes were bloodshot, but he was powerless to help. After several exchanges with Hammer Head Son, his arms had suffered minor fractures.
Chair Head Dad seized the opportunity and kicked Du Kedan in the waist, sending him flying.
"Demon hunters, so this is all they amount to."
Following this, Chair Head Dad aimed his head at the other four scattered demon hunters and assumed a starting stance.
He stomped his foot and vanished from the spot. The next second, he appeared beside a demon hunter, his sharp head piercing through the hunter's chest, blood splattering his face.
Then, he readjusted his stance and impaled another demon hunter with his head.
But this time, just as he was halfway through his charge, he was forcibly stopped by an external force.
A black hand firmly grasped Chair Head Dad's head, rendering him immobile.
This person who suddenly appeared was Wen Wen. After being drawn to the scene, he saw Chair Head Dad with two people on his head, preparing to charge at a third demon hunter.
"You are a demon from the Abyss Eye, aren't you? Tell me, how do you wish to die!"
"I wish... for you to die!"
Chair Head Dad smiled malevolently. The area on his head held by Wen Wen suddenly grew countless fine, foot-long spikes.
These spikes were incredibly sharp. The last person who grabbed his head had met his end this way, and the grass on his grave was three feet high.
But this time, Chair Head Dad's plan failed because the man's hand was harder than his head!
