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

"Thank you for the reminder, Marshal. Now that we know the entrance to the tomb, leave the rest to us!"

Chen Yulou clasped his fists and bowed, then spoke carefully.

Jiang Li looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. It won't be too late to go to the tomb tomorrow after they pack up their things!"

Naturally, Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao had no objection to this proposal. They stood quietly aside and waited with Jiang Li for the people from the Supernatural Bureau to clean up the centipede monster's corpse.

Nearly an hour later, Xie Changfeng finally finished cleaning up the centipede monster and asked someone to take the cleaned materials to find Jiang Li to report.

"General, the corpse of the centipede monster has been cleaned up. We have obtained a demon pill, a pair of venom glands and jaw teeth, and several shells, tentacles and legs."

"In addition to this, there are several feet of fascia. This centipede demon has been practicing for many years, and the things on his body are all good materials for refining weapons!"

Xie Changfeng became more and more excited as he spoke, and was almost getting carried away. However, it was not his fault, as all the Maoshan disciples, including him, were not doing well.

Normally, you would be lucky enough to get some aged herbs and peach wood. How could you possibly see the body of a monster that is hundreds of years old?

But Jiang Li couldn't stand it. He was so startled that he quickly interrupted his report.

"Okay, okay, why is it that among the things I just heard you talk about, there is no blood or flesh of it?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Changfeng immediately stopped smiling. "Commander, I was just about to report this matter. I don't know what this centipede monster ate to grow up. Its flesh is bloody and smelly, and it's black. I don't know if it's poisonous or not!"

As he said this, he took out a piece of centipede meat wrapped in a piece of cloth and said, "Commander, there are still 100 to 200 kilograms of meat like this, but I'm not sure if it's poisonous, so I didn't include it in the statistics.

Seeing this, Jiang Li injected his magic power into the Yaoguang and then poked it twice. Under the light of Yaoguang, he could see the appearance of this thing clearly.

It was indeed as Xie Changfeng said, the meat was as soft and juicy as fish, but it was black in color and had a fishy smell, and was also filled with a lot of evil spirits.

How come you say this centipede only has 100-200 kilograms of flesh? I think it is at least 20 feet long, how could it only have 100-200 kilograms of flesh?"

"You don't know, Marshal, that the centipede monster's shell is extremely strong and its weight is amazing, but underneath the shell is mostly yellow water, with little flesh and blood."

"We cut open its shell, and the yellow water started flowing freely. We hurriedly found some containers, but we only collected about a hundred pounds of it. We don't know what it is used for!"

Jiang Li frowned and thought after hearing that. It seemed that the centipede monster had mutated. According to the movie, the centipede's intelligence was awakened after swallowing a large amount of elixirs.

I think these medicines are not completely harmless. I just don't know if this pill can dissolve soft tissue.

But he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He took the piece of meat, swung the sword in his hand a few times, cut the two or three pounds of meat into small pieces, and then threw them in front of the dozen or so tied up matryoshka roosters.

They wanted to see if they would eat it and whether they would be poisoned to death after eating it. However, they had been bitten and attacked by the centipede before. Except for a few killed on the spot, the rest were scared out of their wits.

At this moment, feeling the strong demonic aura on the piece of meat, they didn't dare to move forward at all. Seeing this, Jiang Li thought that they were afraid of the meat.

But looking at them, staring at the pieces of meat with longing in their eyes, he knew that these chickens wanted to eat, but did not dare to do so for some reason.

At this moment, three dark shadows suddenly rushed out from the side, quickly pecked at the piece of meat on the ground, and ate it all in a few bites.

Who else could these three figures be but Daxiaohong and Angry Chicken? They quickly finished eating the pieces of meat, then trotted to Jiang Li, tilting their heads and looking at him eagerly.

Jiang Li was very panicked when he saw this. He was not sure whether the meat of the centipede monster was poisonous, and it was eaten by these three guys. If he was not careful and poisoned them to death, it would be a lot of fun.

But now the matter is done and the food has been eaten, so all we can do is wait and see if there will be any adverse reactions.

If there really are any, considering that they don't eat much, maybe they can be rescued. As for continuing to feed them, that is naturally impossible.

He came up to them and said a few words to comfort them, then took his people back to the base to rest.

When they returned to the base, the soldiers had already finished their meal. When they saw them coming back, a team of soldiers immediately brought them the reserved meals.

Jiang Li didn't say anything more and directly gave the order to start eating. Of course, they had to fill their stomachs first.

Since this was in the wild and the meal was from a big pot, the food was naturally not that good. Ordinary soldiers only had a plate of pickles, a plate of dried fish, a bowl of egg soup and a large bowl of corn steamed bread.

However, Jiang Li’s meal was naturally different. In addition to the same side dishes, there was also a can of pork and a can of fish, and the staple food was changed to white flour buns.

He saw that Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou were given the same food as ordinary soldiers, so he simply called them over to eat together to avoid letting others think that he was not valued.

It was this unintentional act that made Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou feel much better about him.

The meal was finished soon. After arranging for them to rest in the barracks, Jiang Li also returned to the general's tent.

He took out a round, light yellow bead from his storage bag, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully in the light of the dazzling light. This bead was exactly the inner elixir of the centipede monster.

I saw that this inner elixir was as big as a baby's fist, with no impurities or depressions on the surface. It looked extremely round and shiny. The key point was that this inner elixir seemed to contain an extremely strong energy.

Jiang Li tried to sense it carefully, but did not find any demonic aura, which made him very curious.

As far as he knew, the inner elixir of a monster was where its demonic energy gathered, so the energy inside it was all demonic energy.

If an ordinary person obtains a demon pill, they usually use it to refine weapons to enhance the power and spirituality of the magic weapon.

Or it can be used directly to feed the monster. If it is not exploded by the energy in it, and is lucky enough to refine the monster power in it, its cultivation will be greatly improved, and it will be able to avoid many years of hard training.

In addition to this, another use is to place it around some creatures that have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, allowing the evil spirit in them to corrode the creatures, so as to achieve the purpose of creating monsters and opening their spiritual intelligence.

However, since the energy is impure and the time of contact with the demonic energy is short, the creatures that are transformed into demons often have little demonic energy and generally low intelligence, so it can be considered a very useless use.

But looking at the centipede monster's magic pill again, the energy contained in it is extremely pure, without any demonic energy. I'm afraid that if you swallow it directly, you can refine it.

This should be the reason why the Partridge Whistle can be swallowed directly without being affected by it.

But he still couldn't figure out why, "Is this centipede monster any different from other monsters?"

"Hmm? Different?"
