Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 587 Plague Mosquito Technique

"What a wretched creature!"

Seeing that the Black Swamp Dragon was still not satisfied after it had eaten its fill, Granny Lai cursed angrily, twirled her skull cane slightly, and slammed it down.

"Wow!"

The magic power transformed into a hawk, swooping down with unstoppable force.

Caught off guard, the Black Swamp Dragon was struck head-on by the eagle. As the immense force struck, the snake's head involuntarily slumped, its scales burst open, and dark green blood splattered out.

A visible wave of air immediately rose in the air, causing the water in the pool to swirl back.

Seeing this, Granny Lai's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Doctor Jiu, the Black Swamp Dragon has swallowed the King Serpent of the Black Yin Bone, and it will be difficult for it to digest in a short time. If we delay for a while and wait for Zhang Can, Monk Hua and the others to arrive, we may be able to work together to eliminate this demon and seize the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit in one fell swoop."

"Hehehehe."

Doctor Jiu did not reply, but he threw the Nangong wood in his hand onto a rotting banyan tree in the distance, his intentions clear.

He clasped his hands together, tightened his chest and abdomen, puffed out his cheeks, and exhaled a thick cloud of black mist.

At the same time, the wooden box he was carrying shook, and swarms of mosquitoes rushed out, diving one after another into the black fog.

In the blink of an eye, the black mist was completely absorbed, while the tiny mosquitoes, each the size of a fist, swam around the Black Swamp Dragon, their buzzing echoing throughout the black pool.

"Doctor Jiu, you've actually mastered the Plague Mosquito Technique?"

Grandma Lai was greatly shocked, and at the same time, she was pleasantly surprised.

Independent practitioners often lack a master or their lineage is severed halfway through their practice. As a result, the techniques they cultivate often change due to various circumstances, making them quite chaotic.

However, it is still generally within the normal range.

But in the former Soul Severing Alliance, there was one person who was different from the others.

This person was none other than Doctor Jiu.

Doctor Jiu was born into a certain medicine sect. After finding a tattered copy of the Jiu Jing (a medical text), he embarked on the path of poison cultivation.

Such a heretical and unorthodox approach was naturally unacceptable to the Medicine Sect. Doctor Jiu was quickly expelled, but he did not succumb to depravity. Instead, he combined poison techniques with beast taming, becoming a heretical cultivator skilled in controlling poisonous insects.

Unorthodox practitioners are not tolerated by the righteous path, but who cares about the unorthodox practitioners?

All Granny Lai knew was that Dr. Jiu's insect-controlling technique was the only method among the many Qi-refining rogue cultivators of the Soul Breaking Alliance that could directly confront the "blood beasts" of the Beast Soul Sect disciples.

Unfortunately, he withdrew from the Soul Breaking Alliance early on.

Fortunately, Dr. Jiu has not only returned from the Foundation Establishment stage, but has also mastered the "Plague Mosquito Technique" he has been longing for, which will surely bring about a tremendous change in his strength!

"Ho ho."

However, Dr. Jiu did not show any smugness on his face.

He could clearly see that the green blood splattering from the Black Swamp Dragon's head was disappearing at a visible rate, and even the fallen scales were slowly growing back.

Grandma Lai's full-force attack struck the snake demon, but it seemed to make only a thud.

Judging from this point alone, neither of them has any chance of winning.

but
The battle between cultivators and demonic beasts is not simply a contest of magical power and demonic strength.

The doctor chuckled twice and quickly made hand seals, causing the spotted blood mosquitoes that were fluttering and hovering to react immediately.

The Black Swamp Dragon Serpent is slightly smaller than the King Serpent of the Black Yin Bone, but it is still a colossal creature. However, the number of Spotted Blood Mosquitoes is vast, coiling around the Black Swamp Dragon Serpent's head like a cloud of mist.

The serpent demon thrashed about, creating chaotic air currents that briefly repelled the swarm of mosquitoes, but to no avail. The mosquitoes surged back in an instant, not only surrounding the serpent's head again, but also the few spotted blood mosquitoes that found an opportunity to strike first, landing on the Black Swamp Dragon's neck and extending their long, slender mouthparts with barbs.

Faced with its seemingly ordinary, sharp mouthparts, the Black Swamp Dragon's powerful demonic energy and hard snake scales were rendered useless. Its skin was easily torn open, and the jagged wounds festered and spread, emitting wisps of white smoke.

The abdomen of the spotted blood mosquito gradually swells as it sucks blood, resembling a red lantern covered with blood bags, which looks extremely eerie.

"hiss"

The Black Swamp Dragon twisted its snake body with increasing amplitude.

The brief bites didn't cause it pain, but as more and more Anopheles mosquitoes landed on it, it finally felt threatened and instinctively sprayed a foul-smelling green venomous mist from its mouth and nose.

These poisonous mists are quite different from the black mist spewed out by the clown.

The spotted blood mosquitoes felt uncomfortable and scattered in all directions.

However, even after inhaling the poisonous mist of the Black Swamp Dragon, the spotted blood mosquito did not fall.

Clearly, these tiger mosquitoes not only carry the venom, but also have extremely high resistance to it.

"Doctor Jiu, you must buy me the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Granny Lai had somehow retreated to atop a giant banyan tree, spread out the turf, and scattered three gleaming copper coins. The coins trembled gently with her incantation, and one of them even oozed blood. Doctor Jiu glanced back, then immediately turned away.

He knew that Granny Lai was serious and no longer holding back. Clumps of black mist poured out from his sleeves, mingling with the green poisonous mist surrounding the Black Swamp Dragon.

The spotted blood mosquitoes scurried among them, their listless appearance vanished, and they once again surrounded the black swamp dragon.

The Black Swamp Dragon roared repeatedly, its tail slapping the water's surface and creating countless waves.

Those waves, imbued with demonic power, could instantly pulverize the spotted blood mosquitoes if they struck them.

Unexpectedly, the spotted blood mosquitoes were extremely agile, sometimes gathering and sometimes leaving. Even with casualties, they still maintained a large number, continuously feeding on the demon blood of the Black Swamp Dragon.

The Black Swamp Dragon was furious but helpless, so it sank to the bottom of the pool and disappeared.

"Hehehehe."

The doctor chuckled strangely and continued to perform hand seals.

Having lost their target, the spotted blood mosquitoes all burrowed into the black pool, swimming around with ease as they chased after the black swamp dragon.

"Oh!"

“Bang bang!!”

Suddenly, more than ten water columns burst from the surface of the pool, and the Black Swamp Dragon abruptly rose into the air, scattering hundreds and thousands of dead mosquitoes all around. However, many more mosquitoes clung to its tail, refusing to let go no matter how much it shook.

Nangong Mu stared wide-eyed at this scene.

In his eyes, the tail of the Black Swamp Dragon was as red as if it were boiling, and it was constantly emitting white smoke.

Clearly, even though the Black Swamp Dragon was hiding in the water, it still suffered a great loss.

Despite the Black Swamp Dragon's astonishingly vast demonic power, this colossal creature was being chased by a swarm of seemingly insignificant mosquitoes, which was completely beyond his comprehension of beast-taming magic.

"What a trick!"

Just then, a loud shout reached my ears.

Nangong Mu turned his head and saw four streaks of light approaching rapidly from afar.

"Master?"

"Mumu?"

Nangong Mu was surprised, and Zhang Can was even more astonished. Then, realizing what had happened, he grabbed Nangong Mu's ear and angrily scolded, "I knew Grandma and Doctor Jiu were always so prudent, how could they have alerted us! It turns out it was you, you little brat, who caused all this trouble!"

After Zhang Can finished cursing, Xie Daoren, Hua Heshang, and Qingyang Daoren in plain robes also stopped beside him.

Qingyang Daoist looked up at the Black Swamp Dragon in mid-air, his gaze solemn: "This demon is only one step away from the mid-stage of Bone Fusion."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Zhang Can regained his composure and couldn't help but ask, "Dove Doctor's Plague Mosquito Technique is particularly effective against demonic beasts. Are you confident that you can cooperate with us to slay this snake demon?"

Qingyang Daoist looked at him, neither nodding nor shaking his head, and said, "It depends on the snake demon's trump card. If it is an ordinary demon, how difficult is it to kill it? The problem is that its innate supernatural power is not easy to deal with."

Innate supernatural power?
Zhang Can's expression changed slightly.

The vast majority of demons do not possess innate supernatural powers.

But Black Swamp Dragon is undoubtedly an exception; this guy is clearly extraordinary. His innate divine power must also be extremely powerful.

"Moo!!"

Just then, Kurozuma Ryusuke suddenly let out a sharp shriek.

Its sound had completely surpassed the hoarseness of a snake's trembling, instead resembling the deep roar of a dragon's cry, like a bronze horn.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and the doctor who had used the plague mosquito technique shuddered and coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

"It's over!"

Zhang Can murmured.

The Black Swamp Dragon roared as it snarled, its back sprouting blood-dripping spikes, while its tail revealed crimson dragon patterns resembling magma.

The moment the crimson dragon pattern appeared, the spotted blood mosquitoes fell off in swarms, and even though there was still black mist remaining on the surface of the pool, it was to no avail.

The plague mosquito technique has been broken!
