Jiang Jiyuan looked at the countless centipedes in the corner of the courtyard wall, and a chill ran down his spine.

These centipedes are crowded together so densely that it makes people feel a little creepy.

He took a deep breath, then took out an insect repellent bag from the space and hung it on his body. After completing these preparations, he plucked up the courage, climbed over the courtyard wall, and stood firmly on the ground.

As soon as he landed, Jiang Jiyuan ran two steps quickly as if his feet were greased, keeping a certain distance from the centipede at the foot of the wall.

After the brother and sister successfully reunited, Jiang Jiyuan took the iron stick from his sister's hand and knocked on that place twice. With a "bang", the wooden lid opened.

Just then, something strange happened.

Those centipedes that were originally densely packed seemed to be frightened by something. They suddenly retreated like a tide and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. No one knew where they hid.

Although Jiang Jiyuan was a little surprised when he saw it, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

He quickly took out his flashlight and shone it down there for a while.

With the help of the flashlight, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be several people tied to a wooden frame below.

Jiang Jiyuan turned to his sister behind him and said, "There's someone down there. I'll go down and take a look. You stay up there and be on guard."

"Okay." Jiang Jiyun responded readily, then pulled out a pistol from his tattered clothes, loaded the bullet skillfully, lay in ambush by the door, and watched the movements around him vigilantly.

Jiang Jiyuan took a deep breath and climbed down the cave.

After entering the cave, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness inside, and he finally saw clearly the people tied to the wooden frame.

He moved over slowly, and just as he approached those people, the people tied to the wooden frame seemed to sense someone approaching, and they all raised their heads to look at Jiang Jiyuan who was walking towards them with a gun in his hand.

Their eyes, which were filled with hatred, couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt when they saw that the person coming was a completely unfamiliar face.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the clothes these people were wearing and found that their styles resembled the traditional attire of a certain ethnic minority.

He was curious and asked, "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, those people seemed to have received some hint and turned their eyes to the man standing in the middle of the crowd.

The man observed Jiang Jiyuan with his eyes. After a moment's silence, he finally responded, "We came all the way from Yunnan Province, specifically to Changsha to look for someone. After arriving here the day before yesterday, for unknown reasons, we were suddenly and forcibly captured by a group of people and detained here. Are you also a subordinate of that former boss?"

Jiang Jiyuan quickly shook his head and explained, "We just arrived in Changsha yesterday and aren't familiar with the situation here. I've only heard of the former boss's name, and he's not far from here now."

Hearing this, the man's eyes gleamed with hope. He looked at Jiang Jiyuan and pleaded, "In that case, could you please have mercy and let us out? We really are just here to look for my missing daughter. Who could have imagined that we would be deceived and imprisoned right after arriving here? I never thought that the world outside the mountain would become so dangerous in such a short time."

Jiang Jiyuan thought to himself that judging by the way these people were dressed and the environment they were in, they must be living deep in the mountains.

So, he cleared his throat and began to explain to them: "Everyone, listen to me, this Yuan Ye is not from our country. He is a devil, an enemy who invaded our country! After these people came to our China, they committed all kinds of atrocities, burning, killing, and looting."

After hearing what Jiang Jiyuan said, the man's face became serious.

Although they knew that the country was in a period of war, they did not expect the situation to be so serious.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and began to translate Jiang Jiyuan's words to his companions in a language that Jiang Jiyuan could not understand.

When Jiang Jiyuan saw the man start to translate, he hurried over and prepared to untie the ropes that tied them up.

When he got to the third person, he suddenly seemed to have seen something terrible and took several steps back in fright.

Jiang Jiyuan widened his eyes and stared at the man, secretly groaning in his heart. He was very sure that he was not seeing things. There were centipedes crawling on those people!

Those centipedes were completely black, and there was a strange light flashing on their bodies, which made people feel creepy.

Those people were also shocked when they saw Jiang Jiyuan's horrified reaction.

However, since they had not eaten for two days and were extremely weak, they had no strength to make any defensive moves.

Jiang Jiyuan warned them anxiously, "There are centipedes crawling on you! Jump up quickly and shake them off. Don't get bitten!"

The few people who were originally as tense as bowstrings suddenly relaxed after hearing Jiang Jiyuan's words.

One of the hands that was untied reached into the clothes, fumbled for a while, and then grabbed suddenly, pulling out a particularly large centipede from the clothes.

This centipede is as long as an adult's forearm. It is pitch black and covered with densely packed little legs, which looks creepy.

Jiang Jiyuan was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, and only stopped when he was several steps away from the man.

He glanced down at the sachet hanging on his body, feeling a little relieved. Then he looked up at the man and the centipede in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Did you raise these centipedes?"

The man nodded and explained, "Yes, this is my natal Gu. Aren't you the reason you found us because of these centipedes?"

Jiang Jiyuan suddenly realized that those densely packed centipedes above were actually summoned by them.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he hadn't had the sachet hanging on his body, he would have been bitten by these terrible centipedes.

The man seemed to realize that his behavior just now was a bit scary, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

He apologized to Jiang Jiyuan, "I'm so sorry. If it weren't for the help of these friends, we would have been killed by those devils a long time ago. I'm so sorry for scaring you!"

Jiang Jiyuan took out his gun again, stepped back, and asked, "If they wanted to kill you, they wouldn't need to get close to you. A few shots would be enough to kill you. How could they still tie you up? Besides, with all that stuff on you, how did they get close to you and tie you up?"

After saying this, he raised the gun in his hand again. Jiang Jiyuan now felt that he had been cheated.

Seeing Jiang Jiyuan's gun, the man nervously explained, "We are not the devil's people, they just want to recruit us!"
