Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears-Chapter 132: The Confusion of 1 Person and 1 Mosquito: Which Powerful Figure Did We Offend?

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: The Confusion of 1 Person and 1 Mosquito: Which Powerful Figure Did We Offend?

"What is this?!"

"This mist is poisonous! Quick, hold your breath!"

Everyone present was shaken by the sudden turn of events. They all circulated their Qi Blood, trying to resist the strange mist.

However, something even stranger happened.

The students at Third-Grade or below felt a little dizzy, but were otherwise fine.

But the Fourth-Grade Soldiers, referees, and teachers in charge of maintaining order all turned a ghastly purple in the span of a single breath. They couldn’t even let out a scream before collapsing in droves like harvested wheat, their life or death uncertain!

Only a few thousand students remained, staring at each other in the dense fog, terrified and at a loss.

"BZZZ? ’What the hell? What’s going on?’"

Chu Sheng had just drifted off when the poisonous mist jolted him awake. He was still a bit dazed. "BZZZ? ’Isn’t this an exam? How did it turn into a barbecue? And this smell... something’s definitely burnt.’"

Gu Yuexi: "..."

She couldn’t be bothered with this ridiculous, damn mosquito.

Her brow furrowed as she scanned the surrounding fog, her eyes filled with vigilance and her heart with alarm.

’This poison mist... it doesn’t seem to affect those in the Low Grade Realm?’

’It only knocks out those in the Middle-Grade Realm?’

Several similar methods flashed through Gu Yuexi’s mind.

None were natural phenomena. All were the work of humans or Demon Beasts!

’But... weren’t all the Fourth-Grade Demon Beasts in this Secret Realm supposed to have been eliminated?’

’Could this be man-made?!’

Gu Yuexi’s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, a terrible feeling washed over her.

Chu Sheng was speechless. "BZZZ? ’Seriously, girl? What the hell is there to have a bad feeling about? This is an Intermediate Secret Realm—no one above Fourth-Grade can even get in. In here, even if Lord Mosquito isn’t invincible, I can easily save my own ass, alright? What are you panicking for?!’"

Just then.

THUD!

A heavy footstep, like the beating of a war drum, echoed from deep within the fog.

Then, a terrifying, mountain-sized figure slowly emerged from the gray mist.

The figure seemed to disdain the unconscious Fourth-Grade Powerhouses on the ground. It simply strode toward the central arena.

One of its feet landed squarely on the unconscious Lin Feng.

SQUELCH!

As easily as crushing an ant, it stomped the once-arrogant wielder of the Innate Sword Body into a pile of gore!

Everyone who saw this gasped in horror and looked up.

There stood a terrifying Demon Beast over ten meters tall. It had the shape of a giant ape, but it was covered in Dark Gold Scale Armor and had a single, ferocious horn sprouting from its head!

The tyrannical, bloodthirsty aura radiating from it made all the students feel as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss, their very souls trembling in fear!

Fourth-Grade!

This was definitely a Fourth-Grade Demon Beast!

Everyone was stunned!

It wasn’t strange for an Intermediate Secret Realm to contain a Fourth-Grade Demon Beast.

But hadn’t the officials said that to ensure the students’ safety, all the Fourth-Grade Demon Beasts in the Secret Realm had already been purged?!

This thing... where the hell did it come from?!

"Wait, I remember now..."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes narrowed as she stared into the dense fog. A distant memory finally surfaced.

’This mist must be from the Netherworld Calm Mist Bead.’

’That’s a special Earth-tier Upper-Grade Magical Artifact!’

’The mist it releases has a bizarre effect: it’s lethally damaging to the souls of High Grade powerhouses at Seventh-Grade and above.’

’But for Middle-Grade powerhouses at Fourth-Grade and above, it only causes deep paralysis and forces them into a coma. For Martial Artists in the Low Grade Realm, below Fourth-Grade, it has almost no effect!’

’An Earth-tier Upper-Grade Magical Artifact! That’s a treasure only a Ninth-Grade Powerhouse could typically possess!’

’In Du Nan First Middle School’s treasury, its value is second only to the Essence Blood of a King-level Demon Beast!’

’This isn’t something an ordinary person could possibly get their hands on!’

’Clearly, this is a premeditated assassination! And I’m the target!’

’Who could it be?’

’Leng Yan? Impossible. She’s just a Top Notch fighter from the Jingzhe Guild in Jiang City who has barely entered the High Grade Realm. In a place like Du Nan City, she’s practically a nobody. How could she possibly obtain a Magical Artifact of this caliber?’

’Did I offend some other major figure after I was reborn?’

Gu Yuexi quickly ran through the list of people she’d offended. There were quite a few, but they were all small-time characters, none of whom could possibly pull off something of this magnitude!

’Who is it? Why go to such great lengths to kill me?’

"BZZZ? ’No way... It’s coming for us?’"

Chu Sheng also sensed something was off. The great ape’s gaze was fixed on him and the Empress. It was clearly here for revenge.

’But we haven’t provoked anyone recently, have we?’

’It can’t be those scrubs I thrashed in the game yesterday, can it? They got pissed, doxxed us, and now they want to take it offline and come after me for real?’

’No, that’s not right. It’s only been a day. There’s no way they could be that efficient. Besides, where would those clowns get the resources to dare make a move at something like the tri-province joint exam?’

The human and the mosquito were both deeply confused.

As the Golden-Scaled Monocled Ape drew closer, the surrounding students gradually realized its target was Gu Yuexi, the newly-crowned Champion Scholar!

They didn’t know why, and right now, they didn’t care!

Their survival instincts drove them to make the most logical choice.

"Run!"

Someone shouted first.

Immediately, thousands of students scattered like ants in a disturbed nest, screaming and fleeing for their lives toward the Secret Realm’s exits.

That was a Fourth-Grade Demon Beast! With all the powerhouses who could have protected them unconscious, staying here was no different from waiting to die!

The students of the Hidden Dragon Class panicked as well, and most of them fled with the crowd.

Only Huo Mingxuan, Qin Zheng, and a few others remained behind, their faces etched with conflict and hesitation.

’Just... leave Gu Yuexi behind?’

Qin Zheng gritted his teeth. Seeming to have made a decision, he started to step forward to help.

"Are you crazy?!"

A cold voice berated him from behind. Chu Yiran strode over and grabbed his arm, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

"Take a good look! That’s a Golden-Scaled Monocled Ape! And judging by its aura, it’s at least at the Fourth-Grade Middle Stage! Forget you—even that mosquito would be crushed under its foot in an instant!"

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it reached everyone’s ears clearly, extinguishing the spark of courage that had just ignited in Huo Mingxuan and the others.

Chu Yiran’s tone grew more urgent. "You all know the gap between a Third-Grade Late Stage and a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage! It’s the difference between a candle flame and the blazing sun!"

"That mosquito is strong, yes, it killed Lin Feng in one hit! But Lin Feng was only at the Third-Grade Early Stage! Against a true Fourth-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast, its Attack Power isn’t even enough to scratch an itch!"
