My Mosquito Clones Are on a Killing Spree

Chapter 113: Chapter 81: Gold Everywhere

He was in the middle of restoring the ground to its original state.

Meanwhile, Blue Star was also making its move.

’The Governor’s Office is moving this fast? The reconnaissance team has already assembled and is preparing to enter the Star Realm?’

Upon learning this, Lin Yi didn’t hesitate for a second.

The Mosquito Avatar immediately took flight.

It sped off at top speed toward the Star Gate that connected to Blue Star.

...

Blue Star.

Outside the Star Gate.

Dust swirled over an open area cleared by the military. Dozens of Martial Artists stood as straight as pines, their gazes as sharp as knives.

The roster for the Martial Artist reconnaissance team, recruited by the Yang City Governor’s Office and the Nanjiang Military District, had been finalized.

Twenty First-Grade Martial Artists from the army.

Ten First-Grade Martial Artists from the Public Security Bureau.

And twenty civilian First-Grade Martial Artists.

Fifty people in total!

All fifty of them were elites among First-Grade Martial Artists, chosen through a rigorous selection process.

Every single one had achieved Great Success in their lower limb Bone Tempering. Their legs were corded with muscle, allowing them to run as fast as lightning—the perfect candidates for enemy reconnaissance.

Governor Yang faced the crowd, his voice booming as he gave the final rally:

”You carry the hopes of the one million souls of Yang City! The Pigmen are savage, and the other side of that gate is rife with danger, but you must bring back intelligence... even if only one of you makes it back! The future of humanity rests on your shoulders!”

”We won’t let the Governor down!”

The entire reconnaissance team roared in unison, the force of their voices making the very ground tremble.

”Move out!” Governor Yang commanded with a wave of his hand.

Instantly.

Every member of the reconnaissance team, gear at the ready, marched towards the glowing curtain of the Star Gate.

...

In the Star Realm.

The Mosquito Avatar flitted about like a phantom.

It flew quickly to the side of the Star Gate.

It looked at the Pigman army that had surrounded the Star Gate, sealing it off completely.

’This is bad!’

Lin Yi’s heart clenched.

’This Pigman army may have been scared out of their wits, but they’re still guarding the Star Gate.’

’If the reconnaissance team charges in recklessly, they’ll be surrounded! Fifty First-Grade Martial Artists facing an army of ten thousand... even if they’re all elites, most of them will be wiped out!’

’I have to throw the Pigmen into chaos to create an opening for the reconnaissance team!’

Lin Yi could have continued scavenging for Spirit Medicine, but he decisively abandoned that plan.

The greater good came first.

After all, he was human, too.

He couldn’t just ignore the bigger picture for the sake of his own selfish gain.

As his thoughts raced, the Mosquito Avatar shot out like a bullet, weaving through the Pigman army in search of a target.

Soon.

Lin Yi locked onto a target.

A burly Pigman commander!

Though he also had the Qi and Blood of a First Grade, this fellow was a head taller than his kin. He wore gold-inlaid bone armor, a beast-head token hung from his waist, and a dozen personal guards stuck to him like glue. Clearly, he was a leader.

’You’re the one!’

The Mosquito Avatar landed silently on the back of the commander’s neck.

Its needle-like proboscis pierced him in a flash!

Bloodsucking Skill, activate—

BZZZ!

Qi and Blood surged into the mosquito’s body like a raging flood from a broken dam.

The Pigman commander felt a sudden chill on his neck. Before he could even roar, his flesh rapidly withered. His skin wrinkled like bark, his eyes bulged, and with a THUD, he collapsed, reduced to a desiccated corpse!

”ROAR!”

The personal guards who witnessed this were scared out of their wits.

One moment their leader was standing there, proud and imposing; the next, he had bizarrely dropped dead, shriveled into a husk?

Fear spread like a plague!

A commotion rippled through the Pigman army.

But a few other officers, forcing themselves to remain calm, waved their bone knives and roared in an ancient Pre-Qin tongue, ”Hold fast! To formation!”

They were trying to stabilize the army.

As if Lin Yi would give them the chance.

Like the grim reaper itself, the Mosquito Avatar flashed between them, its proboscis striking relentlessly!

One, two, three...

The officers collapsed one after another.

They too were reduced to desiccated corpses, a horrifying and wretched way to die.

And with that, the entire army descended into utter chaos.

Panic spread through the ranks in an instant.

The Pigmen shrieked in terror, their ancient tongue devolving into meaningless wails as their formation crumbled like a sandcastle.

Some threw down their weapons and armor, fleeing madly into the wilderness.

Others collapsed to the ground, soiling themselves in terror.

The nauseating stench of filth and blood filled the air.

Just then.

The glowing curtain of the Star Gate began to HUM and ripple like the surface of disturbed water.

Yang City’s fifty-person reconnaissance team stepped through!

”Shit, this really is the Pigmen’s nest!”

The team leader’s pupils shrank. The sight of the ten-thousand-strong army before him made his hair stand on end.

The other squad members instantly tensed.

Someone drew their blade, growling, ”We’ll have to fight our way out!”

But the leader yelled, ”Don’t be reckless! Look... they’re in chaos! Our mission is reconnaissance, not a suicide run! We break out while they’re disorganized, gather intel, and bring it back!”

The fifty of them shot out like cheetahs, heading straight for a gap in the formation.

Though the Pigmen were in disarray, with many turning into deserters, a portion of the more savage ones, eyes bloodshot, gave chase. ”Humans! Rip them to shreds!”

Bone Spears whistled through the air, aimed squarely at the squad’s backs.

’Might as well see this through.’

Lin Yi sneered, and the Mosquito Avatar struck again.

BZZZ!

Its proboscis struck in quick succession.

The Pigmen giving the fiercest chase suddenly froze. Their Qi and Blood drained away in a torrent, and with a sickening CRACKLE, they collapsed as dried husks.

”A ghost... There’s a ghost!”

The remaining pursuers were paralyzed with fear.

They weren’t afraid of dying in battle.

Corpses had piled up like mountains during the battle for Yang City.

Yet they had still charged forward without a second thought.

But this bizarre method of death was more terrifying than Hell itself!

Not another soul dared to give chase. Wailing and screaming, the Pigmen scattered like ants from a disturbed nest. The scene descended into absolute pandemonium.

Seeing that the squad had broken through the encirclement and vanished into the depths of the Star Realm, Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Mosquito Avatar didn’t linger. With a WHOOSH, it shot off toward the distant mountains.

It was off to search for more Spirit Medicine in other parts of the Star Realm.

He no longer cared for the paltry amount of Qi and Blood within these Pigmen.

It was too inefficient!

The avatar’s Blood Sucking combined with his own Bone Tempering only increased his progress by 1% every two minutes. In monetary terms, that was barely ten thousand.

At best, that was only three hundred thousand an hour!

The efficiency was just too low!

Finding Spirit Medicine was far more profitable.

A single, random Spirit Medicine could sell for hundreds of thousands back in the outside world!

Without him realizing it.

Lin Yi had already spent an hour controlling the Mosquito Avatar to search the Star Realm.

During that time, he had managed to find several more Spirit Medicines.

And at this time.

In the distance toward the Star Gate, the Pigman army was still scattering like headless chickens, their faint roars carrying on the wind.

The reconnaissance team had also finished gathering their intelligence and used the chaos to return to Blue Star.

’The reconnaissance team has taken the intelligence back. Yang City should be launching a major operation soon, I’d imagine.’

Lin Yi mused to himself as the avatar accelerated, diving into a deeper valley where he had just spotted another Spirit Medicine!

...

Blue Star.

Outside Yang City.

The Star Gate began to ripple violently, like the surface of water.

A gust of wind, thick with the stench of blood and Otherworld dust, surged through.

When the last member of the reconnaissance team—covered in blood, his armor shattered—staggered through the Star Gate.

The long-suppressed camp erupted in a low commotion, as if a fuse had been lit.
