"Buzz, buzz, buzz——"
Like dark clouds, a swarm of black mosquitoes surged from the wild primitive forest at the base of Ba Mountain, and at the core of the swarm, a strong low-frequency noise suddenly resonated.
A woman with long black hair emerged from the cave in the gorge at the bottom of the Sky Pit, covered with dark brown dried blood on her fair skin. A pale blood-like liquid trickled down her slender, straight legs, staining the soil red.
In front of her, black fine fur wrapped layer upon layer, and behind her, a pair of black iridescent membrane wings, resembling those of a raven, emitted a terrifying low-frequency hum.
"Fox... Fox..."
"Provocation... won't be tolerated, you dog letting loose."
The Ba Mountain Mosquito, with the visage of a woman, stared fiercely at the challenging fox, clumsily responding and hurling insults.
In its mosquito life.
The Ba Mountain Mosquito deeply understood one truth: other creatures couldn't understand the mosquito language.
But with human language, although 99% of animals couldn't comprehend it, they could read human expressions.
Confronted by the attacking fox spirit, as the overlord of the southern slopes of Qinling, it had to respond, otherwise, how could it maintain the dignity of the apex predator?
As the Ba Mountain Mosquito stepped out of its nest, her appearance and form were exposed to everyone's eyes.
The fox lord standing at the cliff's edge looked at the Ba Mountain Mosquito with a faintly stunned expression.
The female face seemed unfamiliar to Ansheng, but he saw a trace of Mo Yiqing's shadow in her.
It was such a strong sense of déjà vu that he even forgot to hurl insults back at the Ba Mountain Mosquito right away.
And at the moment of the fox lord's astonishment.
The black cloud of mother mosquitoes, as if receiving a signal, dispersed around the primitive forest.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz——"
The membrane wings of the Ba Mountain Mosquito, initially vibrating, suddenly opened symmetrically to the sides of her body.
The muscles on her back were writhing, and the membrane wings fixed at the scapula moved quickly to her waist, growing feather-like structures under some mysterious force, rapidly evolving.
"Buzz——"
A sharp hum pierced the sky, as the Ba Mountain Mosquito accelerated from a standstill to over 200 km/h in just an instant, taking only six seconds to reach the fox lord from the bottom of the Sky Pit.
With a speed of 80 meters per second, the Ba Mountain Mosquito transformed into a black blur, kicking towards the fox lord.
"Is it coming?"
The fox lord, standing at the cliff's edge, narrowed his eyes as he focused on the incoming black blur, swiftly extending his paw, which had been kept behind his back, and lifting the Gravity Tenderizing Hammer Pro that had been hidden there.
In the bright moonlight, the massive hammer's body glimmered with a metallic sheen.
The fox lord's figure gradually rose, giving the Ba Mountain Mosquito no time to react, as he charged fiercely, enveloped in the momentum of a landslide, aiming a strike at the Ba Mountain Mosquito.
The Ba Mountain Mosquito was incredibly fast.
But the fox lord's surge was even faster, his power aggressively overwhelming.
With an overbearing swing of the Gravity Hammer, even as the Ba Mountain Mosquito realized the danger and struggled using her hummingbird wings to hover in the air to evade.
But!
The Ba Mountain Mosquito's eyes deceived her, as she thought she narrowly dodged the hammer.
The hammer's swing reached its limit, and the fox lord's power transmitted via the hammer had reached its threshold.
"Whoosh——"
The front of the hammer's body exploded abruptly, and the Ba Mountain Mosquito felt a terrifying, unmatched force sweeping over her.
Under some sort of invisible pressure, her once beautiful face twisted, her body arched unnaturally backward, as if a circular object was swelling in front of her.
"Bang——"
A thunderous explosion echoed through the world.
Water vapor in the void burst, transforming into an elliptical shockwave spreading in all directions, outlining the contours of an invisible entity.
Time on the Ba Mountain Mosquito seemed to accelerate, falling at several times the speed of its arrival.
Faintly, a red glow seemed to surround her, her graceful body creating intense friction with the air.
"Boom——"
A massive sound like mountains splitting rocks resonated in the Sky Pit, with endless earth and spring water erupting from the impact point, flying up into the sky and dispersing.
"Leopard! Relay!"
The hammer strike, like a collapsing mountain, struck the Ba Mountain Mosquito, causing mountains and seas to shift, but the fox lord didn't show joy; instead, his face grew somber, glancing back to shout.
"Go!"
The fox lord's words were brief, yet the Golden Leopard at the cliff's edge instantly understood, lunging forward, its slender, muscular body propelling.
The Golden Leopard reared up in mid-air, its muscles gathering toward its upper body, making it stronger, even its paws growing robust. The Golden Leopard, bathed in its own swiftness, dove toward the cliff, grasping the entire body of the fox lord with a large paw, adjusting its posture, and fully projecting forward.
The fox lord straightened, gripping the end of the Gravity Hammer's handle, racing towards the Ba Mountain Mosquito.
"Boom——"
The heavy hammer struck the ground, as the fox lord's feet landed on the moist, loose humus, sliding forward a bit, his gaze fixated on the crater's interior.
The Ba Mountain Mosquito had fallen to the bottom of the pit.
Under the fox lord's scrutiny, the Ba Mountain Mosquito's limbs and caved chest, visibly fractured and broken, were rapidly healing.
The hummingbird wings behind it had vanished, replaced by six tendrils resembling pink hair extending from her ink-black long hair, covered in a thin layer of mucus, with skin glistening like crystal.
"You... dog."
The Ba Mountain Mosquito, fully healed, shivered at the sight of the approaching fox lord, flipping around, her translucent arms with white skin writhing as brown scales covered her upper body, fingers long and sharp.
The Ba Mountain Mosquito dove straight into the ground, like a dragon adept at navigating soil, swiftly swimming deeper into the humus to evade catastrophe using earth escape techniques.
The humus swelled into a bulge, but as the Ba Mountain Mosquito burrowed in, the protrusion vanished.
"You think I'll let you escape?"
The fox lord released the Gravity Hammer, leaping like a diver into the ground, sniffing the fishy scent lingering in the soil, rapidly digging to catch the retreating Ba Mountain Mosquito's tail.
"!?"
Sensing something, the Ba Mountain Mosquito was terrified, disregarding its internal injuries. Its female form twisted, instantly transforming into a scale-armored pangolin, limbs powering as if trying to pedal to the floor.
But its escape was futile.
If not for the Sky Pit's immense coverage and lack of a point of power leverage, the fox lord could have even overturned the foundation to seize the fleeing Ba Mountain Mosquito.
Kidding!
The Ba Mountain Mosquito's Wish Power was clearly not just +6.
Even if it had zero Wish Power Value, the fox lord must hammer it into submission, dragging it back as the communication secretary for the Spirit Beast Gang and the treasurer of the strays' home.
No matter the depths or the heights.
Even if it reached the ends of the earth.
The fox lord would press its hand, making it write "utterly subdued" on A4 paper.
