It's night.

The bright moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the moonlight was hidden a lot, making the night even darker.

In the suburbs about 50 kilometers away from Zizhu Town, there is a fairly modest small courtyard sitting by the pond.

The courtyard is enclosed with a bamboo fence to create a large courtyard, and the courtyard is actually planted with all kinds of herbs.

Outside the courtyard, within a distance of 100 meters, there was only flat grass and dirt roads that had been trampled back and forth, not to mention tall trees, not even shrubs.

The small courtyard with a wide field of vision should be able to make people feel comfortable, but this small courtyard that is not exquisite makes people feel cold down their spines because of a few deliberately suppressed cries of pain.

Ah Liang gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly on the clothes at his side, and his whole body trembled.

Ah Liang and the other four senior brothers stood aside, looking at the three senior brothers in front of them who were rolling on the ground in pain.

Wearing brown clothes, he is obviously thirteen years old, but his height is not much different from that of ordinary ten-year-old children, is the elder brother Ah Ming. Dressed in dark blue, but so wide that you need to roll up your sleeves and trouser legs, she is already twelve years old and is the second senior brother Aqing. The last one is the third senior brother, Ah Xing, who is not much better dressed than the beggar on the street,

Ah Liang looked at the eldest brother Ah Ming because of the unbearable itch on his face, and scratched his whole face into a blur of flesh and blood, but he still couldn't relieve the itch.

The second senior brother's limbs were in pain, as if he had been hammered into the bones with countless nails, and he could only helplessly hit the ground with his hands or feet, hoping to throw out those "nails". In the end, he could only knock the joints of his limbs until the bones were shattered.

The third senior brother is the back, and his already tattered clothes were grabbed by him into strips of cloth. exposed the flesh that had just been scabbed over for a short time, and was instantly scratched by himself again.

"Master...... Master, the apprentice knows his mistakes....... In vain....... You have spared me, you have spared me. ”

"Master...... Aqing didn't dare anymore....... I beg you, Master....... Solve the Gu worm ........ for the apprentice"

"Please, Master....... I beg Master......."

Ah Liang and the other senior brothers looked at this scene, some couldn't bear to look away, and some of them had tears and snot falling, trembling all over their bodies and didn't know what to do.

Ah Liang also gritted his teeth, and almost couldn't help but rush forward and stab this "demon" that made the three senior brothers look like this directly.

Ah Liang stretched out his hand and grabbed the junior brother who had the same idea as him, stopping the junior brother's impulse.

The three senior brothers had already exchanged for silver, but in addition to Ah Liang and another junior brother completing the task, there were three junior brothers who were too young to hunt and could not exchange enough silver money. The three senior brothers gave their silver money to the three junior brothers, and they carried the bone-eroding pain for the junior brothers.

In this regard, several young juniors felt even more guilty and painful, but they couldn't change it.

In front of them was a man in a black robe, who was so thin that he didn't have two taels of flesh, and he looked no more than forty or fifty years old.

This person is the insect immortal, Zhong Kuo.

Zhong Kuo looked at the three people on the ground, with a bit of joy and pleasure in his eyes, and then looked up at the other people who looked away.

"Lift up your faces and see with your eyes what will happen to them. If you don't even know how to use your eyes, then it's better to gouge out your eyes and feed them to the snakes! ”

Ah Liang was standing for a while, and suddenly trembled, raised his head, and tried to look at the scene in front of him.

Such a scene was bloody and cruel, but it also made Ah Liang and several people feel painful and afraid.

Even though such a scene has been played out in front of them countless times, they still can't get used to it.

"You, since you can't complete the task, you are not worthy of serving the Gu worms." Zhong Kuo looked at the frightened appearance of the others with satisfaction, and played with a snake that was red all over his body, but the thickness of an adult man's fingers: "Hong'er, what do you think?" ”

Zhong Kuo lowered his head, lifted the red snake as if holding a treasure, and looked at him, his tone was soothing, as if he was talking to his most beloved woman.

The red snake snake letter hissed.

"It's still Hong'er who is the most obedient."

Zhong Kuo completely ignored the three people on the ground, he had already buttoned the wooden floor, and the blood stains and scraps of flesh were stained red, and he only squinted and glanced at a few other people, and finally his eyes fell on Ah Liang.

"Ah Liang, come here."

Ah Liang trembled again, turned his head, looked at Zhong Kuo timidly, and then walked towards Zhong Kuo with his feet as if they had been filled with lead, and knelt down obediently.

"Division...... Master......."

The shadow that the insect immortal brought to Ah Liang was too great. Although after coming back, Ah Liang gave the silver to the insect immortal as scheduled and avoided the Gu poison attack, but being looked at by the insect immortal like this, Ah Liang's first thought in his heart was, did the master know something?

Unconsciously, Ah Liang's eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness.

The insect immortal looked at the fear in Ah Liang's eyes, and there was a distorted sense of accomplishment in some corners of his heart. What he likes the most is that others are afraid of him and afraid of him!

"Ah Liang...... You did a great job today. Tell Master how you got back the ten taels of silver? ”

"Ah Liang......." Ah Liang swallowed his saliva, and kept his dry voice as loud as possible: "Ah Liang killed the wind wolf and took it to Linfeng Restaurant to change it." The boss said that it was worth ten taels. ”

"Linfeng Restaurant?"

The largest restaurant in Zizhu Town, how could Zhong Kuo not know.

Zhong Kuo had a satisfied smile in his eyes, and seemed to have a bit of expectation that Ah Liang couldn't understand.

"Good, well done."

Zhong Kuo's eyes swept around Ah Liang's body, and he could naturally see that the damaged marks of Ah Liang's clothes and the dried blood stains were from the claws of the wind wolf, so he had no doubts in his heart.

Come to think of it, this kid didn't dare to lie to him.

"Master will be punished if he makes a mistake, and he will be rewarded for his merit. Ah Liang, you did a good job today, Master rewarded you once, tell me, do you have anything you want? ”

The background sound of the conversation between the two is the desolate and painful wails and cries for help of the three senior brothers.

In this situation, even if the insect immortal had tried his best to slow down his voice, listening to Ah Liang's ears, it was even more terrifying than the usual master.

"Ah Liang....... Ah Liang ......."

The insect immortal tilted his head, and a pair of eyes with some pupils slightly flushed were staring at Ah Liang.

He was satisfied with Ah Liang in front of him, not only because he was very satisfied with the amount of silver that Ah Liang brought back today, but also because the insect immortal felt that the Gu worms in Ah Liang's body had opened up a little more, and they actually grew faster than the Gu worms in the body of several others, and there was a possibility of breaking out of the body at any time.

Ah Liang's ears kept getting close to the wailing of his senior brother, and his heart was even more frightened. Even though he knew that the master would not easily spare the three senior brothers, Ah Liang still glanced back at the three senior brothers on the ground, gritted his teeth, and turned back to the insect immortal, Zhongzhong kowtowed.

"Bang bang." The sound of kowtow, accompanied by Ah Liang's courageous voice, was intertwined with the miserable cries for help of the three senior brothers.

"Ah Liang begged Master to spare the senior brothers! Ah Liang didn't want anything, he just begged the master to spare the senior brothers once! ”
