Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

At the same time.

Two thousand five hundred kilometers away from Kyoto.

In the northernmost reaches of the Great Xia, the Northern Domain.

Here lay a vast, desolate land covered in ice and snow.

The frigid wind howled.

The cold here wasn’t just a matter of low temperature; it was a sinister, soul-piercing chill tinged with a murderous aura.

Moreover, massive hailstones were currently falling.

BZZZ—

In the dead of night, space warped ever so slightly.

An inconspicuous black dot materialized in mid-air.

It was Chu Sheng, who had just used Instant Teleportation.

The moment he appeared, Chu Sheng was nearly struck by a massive hailstone!

It was followed by a volley of even more icy chunks.

’Holy shit!’

’This hail? These things must be the size of basketballs!’

’Are they trying to kill someone?!’

Chu Sheng flapped his wings, executing an “S”-shaped maneuver in the air to evade the ensuing bombardment.

’What hellish weather. So this is the Northern Domain battlefield? Intense.’

Chu Sheng stabilized himself and began to survey his surroundings.

For dozens of kilometers in every direction, there was nothing but desolation.

There were no trees, no buildings—only an endless ice plain and… the shocking scars of a battlefield.

The ice and snow on the ground weren’t pure white. Instead, they were stained a grotesque, interwoven pattern of dark red and purplish-black.

It was blood.

The traces left behind after countless layers of fresh blood had repeatedly soaked into the ground, frozen, and then been soaked again.

The air was thick with a pungent, foul stench—the unique scent of the Alien Race mixed with the metallic smell of Human Race blood, a combination nauseating enough to make one gag.

It seemed a brutal, large-scale battle had taken place here not long ago.

Chu Sheng raised his head and looked toward the sky.

In the next second, his compound eyes contracted sharply.

There, hanging low in the sky not far away, was a colossal “eye.”

It wasn’t a real eye, but a spatial rift that stretched across the heavens!

But this rift was enormous, countless times larger than the rifts of an ordinary Secret Realm Wormhole!

It spanned several thousand meters in a long, narrow shuttle shape, and the space around it was riddled with cracks, like a shattered mirror.

It was as if the entire sky had been torn open.

Unlike the entrance to a typical Secret Realm, the inside of the rift didn’t shimmer with blue spatial light.

Instead, it was a deep, dark red that seemed to devour all light.

Like a demonic eye from hell, it stared coldly down upon the land.

At this moment, the “eye” was closed. Only a thin red line remained in the middle, from which wisps of black, malevolent energy continuously seeped out.

’So this is an Alien Race spatial rift?’

’The Alien Race’s passage to Blue Star?’

’And from the looks of it, the passage isn’t always open? Can the Alien Race control when it opens and closes at will?’

’No wonder the Great Xia’s defenses are so reactive…’ Chu Sheng mused to himself.

It was like having a time bomb on your doorstep. You never knew when it would go off, nor what kind of monster would crawl out when it did. All you could do was stand guard twenty-four hours a day, your heart in your throat.

This kind of mental torment was even more grueling than physical combat.

Chu Sheng ascended a little higher, gazing into the distance.

About a hundred kilometers away from the “demonic eye,” he spotted several sprawling encampments.

That must be the Great Xia military barracks stationed in the Northern Domain.

However, they didn’t seem very large in scale, appearing to be just a few forward outposts.

Just then, Chu Sheng’s antennae twitched slightly.

’Someone’s here?’

On the ice plain not far from him, he could sense several faint auras moving about.

’Who would be wandering around outside in this hellish weather?’

Curious, Chu Sheng concealed his aura and flew over silently, using the cover of night and the downpour of hail.

Soon, he got a clear view of the scene below.

Bodies. The ground was covered in bodies!

Bodies were everywhere.

There were scaled, multi-limbed monsters of the Alien Race, as well as Human Race Martial Artists clad in the standard-issue Battle Armor of the Great Xia.

The bodies were piled layer upon layer, some still locked in postures of mutual destruction.

Chu Sheng gave the scene a cursory glance, and his heart grew heavy.

’This ratio… something isn’t right.’

For basically every Alien Race corpse he saw, there were at least two, or even three, Human Race corpses lying nearby.

A casualty ratio of two-to-one, or even three-to-one.

This meant that the Great Xia was plugging this hole with human lives.

At that moment, a small team of five or six people was making its way through this mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

They wore heavy protective suits, their movements swift and silent.

They paid no mind to the corpses of the Alien Race, focusing instead on finding the remains of the Human Race.

Each time they found one, they would carefully place it into a special Spatial Ring.

The auras of these few people were not weak; most were around the Ninth-Grade Early Stage. In the outside world, they would be considered masters in their own right!

“Hurry up!”

The leader was a middle-aged man. His voice was hoarse, heavy with exhaustion and restraint:

“We don’t know when that damn eye will open again. We have to get our brothers back before the next wave of the Alien Race charges out.”

“We can’t leave them in this godforsaken place to be gnawed on by those beasts.”

The others didn’t speak, but their hands moved even faster.

Chu Sheng hovered silently in mid-air, watching this scene without a sound.

He could feel the heavy, tragic solemnity emanating from them.

Soon, the human bodies in this area were mostly cleared away, leaving only the corpses of the Alien Race and some Outer Realm Fierce Beasts.

“Let’s go!”

The middle-aged man grunted, waving his hand to signal a retreat.

The group quickly turned to leave.

However, just then, the young man at the rear of the team stopped abruptly without any warning.

He whipped his head around, his gaze like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the swirling snow and darkness to lock precisely onto Chu Sheng’s position!

Chu Sheng’s heart leaped.

’Holy shit?’

’I’ve been discovered?!’

’How is that possible!’

’I’m in my original form right now—just an ordinary mosquito with an almost nonexistent aura.’

’Who could possibly notice a negligible mosquito in such harsh weather and an environment like this?’

And just like that… a man and a mosquito, separated by dozens of meters, met each other’s gaze in a silent exchange amidst the howling blizzard.

The young man’s eyes were very unusual.

At first, they were incomparably sharp, his gaze like a sword!

Then, his brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

“Brother Lin? What’s wrong?”

The middle-aged man in front noticed he had fallen behind and called back, a hint of concern in his voice.

The young man known as “Brother Lin” retracted his gaze, shook his head, and said flatly:

“It’s nothing. I think my eyes were playing tricks on me.”

“Let’s go.”

With that, he tightened the cloak around him, turned to follow the team, and disappeared into the vast, snowy expanse.
