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

At the same time, in the mountains behind Du Nan First Middle School, a vast area was shrouded by a Ninth-Grade Array. This was one of the school’s most critical core facilities—the Spirit Medicine Cultivation Base.

At this moment, in a conference room in the base’s core area, the atmosphere was as oppressive as a graveyard.

The principal of Du Nan First Middle School, Chen Xiaozhang, was pacing back and forth with a troubled expression.

In front of him sat more than a dozen people, every one of them a top-notch expert from the Great Xia Federation in the field of Spiritual Plant cultivation.

A few of them were the chief cultivators from Du Nan’s local pharmaceutical giant, the Xiao Group.

The others were national treasures, experts from the Capital City Federal Spiritual Plant Research Institute, who had been invited at great expense!

But now, these influential figures—people who could make the entire Spirit Plant Realm of Great Xia tremble with a single stomp of their foot—were all frowning deeply and sighing in distress.

”It’s hopeless. It’s truly hopeless...”

A Spiritual Plant expert from the school shook his head in anguish. ”These mutated Spirit-Devouring Worms... their Life Force and reproductive capabilities are unbelievably strong!”

”The special insecticide we developed has no effect on them at all! It’s like we’re fertilizing them instead! Their numbers just keep growing!”

Beside him, a master from the Capital City also had a grave expression. ”Principal Chen, the situation is even more serious than we anticipated! Second-Grade variants have already appeared among these worms! And their numbers are still increasing!”

”If we don’t find a way to contain this, in less than half a month, this entire Spirit Medicine Field of yours will probably be completely ruined!”

An oppressive silence filled the conference room.

Defeat and bewilderment were written on everyone’s faces.

The matter began two years ago.

It’s unknown when it started, but a previously unseen type of tiny, insect-like Demon Beast appeared within the borders of Du Nan City.

These insects fed exclusively on Spirit Herbs and Elixirs and came to be known as ”Spirit-Devouring Worms.”

Although their individual strength was extremely weak, only around the First-Grade.

But!

Their reproductive ability and Life Force were tenacious to an appalling degree!

They couldn’t be drowned, couldn’t be burned away, were immune to potent poisons, and ordinary physical attacks couldn’t do much damage to their alloy-like carapaces.

The most terrifying thing was their numbers!

Hundreds of millions! Perhaps even billions!

Even an Eighth-Grade Powerhouse would have to retreat when faced with so many First-Grade Demon Beasts!

For the past two years, Du Nan City had tried every possible method to deal with this sudden insect plague, and the Federation had sent several waves of experts, all with minimal results.

In the end, they could only resort to the crudest method: relying on numerous High-Tier Arrays to protect the most important Spirit Medicine Production Areas, while helplessly watching as the Spiritual Plants elsewhere were devoured.

This directly caused the total output of Spirit Herbs and Elixirs in Du Nan City to plummet by more than thirty percent over the past two years.

Originally, Du Nan First Middle School’s Spirit Medicine Base, protected by the Ninth-Grade Guardian Array set up by the Education Bureau, had always been the safest sanctuary in Du Nan City.

But just one month ago, disaster struck.

Those tiny insects had somehow managed to breach the lockdown of the Guardian Grand Array and infiltrate the base!

And to them, this treasured land of Du Nan First Middle School, with its incredibly dense Spiritual Qi, was practically heaven!

In just one short month, the insect plague had completely erupted inside the base!

What was even more terrifying was that just a few days ago, they discovered to their horror that the pests inside the base had actually mutated!

A large number of the pests’ strength had broken through from First-Grade to Second-Grade!

At that point, the situation spun completely out of control!

The Destructive Power of a Second-Grade pest was more than ten times that of a First-Grade one!

In just a few days, over thirty percent of the Spirit Medicine Fields in the base were devoured clean, turned into wastelands!

At this rate, the entire Spirit Medicine Base would be destroyed by these little bastards in less than two months!

How could they let that happen?!
