My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. At this time, the old village chief said, "Master Lin, can you use something else? There was a chicken plague in our village in the first half of the year. Most of the chickens have died. I'm afraid we can't get so many roosters together."

Uncle Jiu frowned and said, "Everything in the world is interdependent. I want to use a rooster to lure out this monster. If I don't have a rooster, it will be difficult to do it."

"However, Village Chief, please send someone to the Jiang Family Courtyard outside Lijia Town to find my apprentice Jiang Li and borrow a dozen roosters."

When the old village chief heard what happened, he immediately sent someone to the Jiang family to borrow a chicken.

Everyone followed the instructions and an hour later, they finally found a big hole in the cemetery on the back mountain. Judging from the traces and blood, it should be the monster's lair.

Uncle Jiu looked around and said, "It's still early today, I'm afraid the beast won't come out. Let's clear the weeds around it first and put some dry grass and branches around it. If things go wrong, just set it on fire and don't let it run into the village."

At this time, the villagers from Wangjia Village who came to borrow chickens also found Jiang Li. After learning that it might be a centipede monster instead of a snake monster, he immediately went to the chicken farm and caught a dozen roosters.

He also loaded the kerosene peach wood spear and peach wood stick that he had prepared earlier into the car and took them with him. On the way, Jiang Li thought, "I don't know if these things are useful against monsters."

Half an hour later, Jiang Li arrived at Wangjia Village and found Uncle Jiu. He asked, "Master, how is the situation?"

Uncle Jiu frowned at Jiang Li and asked, "Just ask them to bring the chicken back. What are you doing here?"

Jiang Li said innocently, "I asked the carpenter to make some sticks and mahogany guns, and I wanted to send them to you to see if they could be of use."

Uncle Jiu looked at Jiang Li's innocent look and didn't know what to say. He just said, "Hide at the back of the crowd for a while, be careful not to get hurt by it."

Then Uncle Jiu had someone pour the pig's blood on the ground and tie a few roosters there, while the others hid in the distance.

They waited like this for an hour, and the sky darkened. Jiang Li estimated that it should be around seven o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, a signal came from the front. Jiang Li stood up and saw a huge centipede more than one meter long biting his big rooster. The rooster was still struggling, but unfortunately it stopped moving in just a dozen seconds.

When Uncle Jiu saw him come out, he immediately shouted to light a fire, then rushed to the front of the cave entrance and pushed the stones he had prepared earlier to block the entrance and cut off his retreat.

At this time, the flames had already started. Although the fire was not big, it had already surrounded the centipede monster.

At this time, a few brave villagers threw their fishing nets towards the centipede monster. Other villagers holding long-handled farm tools such as grass hoes also stepped forward to surround it, but seeing the huge size of the centipede monster, they did not dare to move forward.

At this time, Uncle Jiu saw that no one dared to take action and the centipede monster was about to struggle to escape, so he immediately picked up a peach wood spear and used his magic power to stab the centipede monster.

However, a black light flashed, and the tip of the wooden spear broke off, but the centipede monster was unharmed.

Seeing that the wooden spear was broken, Uncle Jiu grabbed a straw stick and stabbed the centipede monster with it. However, this time he did not stab its body, but stabbed the ground to nail it to the mud.

The attack was indeed effective. The metal fork pierced deeply into the mud, and the distance between the forks was just enough to trap its body, so that no matter how it struggled, it could not escape.

At least that's what Jiang Li thought. When he looked at Uncle Jiu, he said with a ferocious look on his face, "You guys still don't suppress it. I can't control it anymore."

Only then did the villagers come to their senses and took out bamboo poles and wooden roots in groups of two to hold down his body.

But a monster is a monster. Even if seven or eight big men weighing thousands of pounds on it, they still can't hurt it at all. At this time, Jiang Li said, "Who of you is stronger? Use a hoe to dig its head."

After saying that, a burly man swung up a hoe and started digging at its head, but a black light flashed and the man's hands became numb, and he still failed to break the defense.

Seeing that the first attack didn't work, the man hit again and again, but every time he hit, a black light would appear to resist the damage. At this time, the villagers nearby shouted loudly, "Be careful, there are a lot of centipedes here."

Now everyone, including Uncle Jiu, turned around to look at the little centipedes that were approaching.

Although they are said to be small, they are actually about ten centimeters in size, and there are a lot of them, constantly approaching Uncle Jiu and others who are suppressing the centipede monster.

Seeing this, Jiang Li immediately shouted, "Kill them, don't let them get close to the centipede monster."

So he and other villagers waved their weapons repeatedly, killing these little centipedes continuously. Fortunately, although there were many centipedes, their movement speed was not very fast. When the big man saw that they could not get close, he continued to hit them.

I don’t know how long it took, but the big man was already exhausted, and the centipede monster still couldn’t break through the defense.

At this time, someone suggested pouring oil on it and setting it on fire, but Uncle Jiu said, "No, if the fire starts, we can't get close to it, or he might run away."

Jiang Li looked at Uncle Jiu in surprise and thought to himself, "Why not just suppress it and burn it? How could it escape?"

But he didn't think much about it, and said, "If it runs out of energy, change people. Its demonic power can't be endless. As long as its demonic power is exhausted, it will die for sure."

When Butcher Wang heard this, he immediately picked up a hoe and smashed it hard. Sure enough, just when Butcher Wang was exhausted, the centipede monster's power was also exhausted.

Another heavy blow to its head, but this time no black light came out. The hoe hit the centipede's head hard.

A small hole was immediately left on its shell. Seeing this, Butcher Wang increased his strength and smashed its head with a few swings, making it unable to move anymore.

Just as everyone was about to let go, Jiang Li shouted to wait a moment, then quickly took out a peach wood spear and stabbed it into the wound on its head. Sure enough, the injured centipede monster struggled violently.

Jiang Li naturally wouldn't stop, but instead poked it to the bottom and stirred it a few more times, only stopping when he saw that it didn't move at all.

At this time, the surrounding centipedes seemed to have lost their command and hid everywhere, while Jiang Li thought with a smile on his face, "Luckily I know the importance of finishing off the enemy, otherwise I might have let you run away."

When everyone saw that the centipede monster seemed to be really dead, they let it go, but Uncle Jiu stared at the centipede monster's corpse with burning eyes.

Jiang Li leaned close to Uncle Jiu's ear and whispered, "Master, is this centipede corpse useful?"

Uncle Jiu just looked at Jiang Li without saying anything, but nodded heavily.

Jiang Li immediately had an idea when he saw this. He calmly joined the villagers in picking up the bodies of the dead centipedes on the ground.

This collection was incredible, with over a thousand of them, and there were also a large number of charred centipede corpses in the fire circle outside the gate.
