"I, I don’t know."
Jiang Tao said, a little guiltily.
He regretted it immensely in his heart.
If at that time, he hadn’t left alone, but chose to go with the others, would he not be in the current situation?
"You don’t know?"
The three people opposite him naturally didn’t believe him.
"Kid, if you didn’t know, would you have had such a big reaction before? Do we have to use some torture for you to honestly tell us what happened, hm?"
The big man on the left had a murderous look in his eyes.
"Young fellow, my fifth brother’s temper is notoriously violent. If you piss him off, the consequences will be very miserable. It’s better to cooperate with us and tell us what you know, so you don’t have to suffer, right?"
Another middle-aged man said kindly.
Jiang Tao shivered.
He certainly knew what the consequences would be if he didn’t cooperate with them.
However, if it weren’t for Chen Fan’s intervention that day, a few of them, including Shen Si, would have already died at the hands of those Feng Country People.
If he told the truth, wouldn’t that be acting like a treacherous scoundrel?
"Alright then."
Song Wu sighed, looking a bit disappointed.
"Fourth Brother, bring out the stuff."
"Yes, Second Brother."
The middle-aged man who had spoken kindly earlier suddenly produced a palm-sized box.
The exterior of the box was pitch black, giving off an eerie feeling for some unknown reason.
"Guess what’s inside?"
The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Jiang Tao couldn’t help but swallow hard.
His intuition told him that whatever was in that box was definitely not something good.
The middle-aged man didn’t wait for his reply. He opened the box with his left hand, revealing a blood-red centipede inside.
Stimulated by the light, the creature that had been lying quietly suddenly raised its upper body, exposing its mouth the size of a bottle cap, filled with countless tiny teeth.
"!!!"
Jiang Tao was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He screamed, "What, what is that thing?"
"Blood Centipede. Heard of it?"
The middle-aged man extended his finger, letting the Blood Centipede crawl onto the back of his hand.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, their heart would probably stop beating.
But the man showed no fear at all. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it. "I have painstakingly nurtured this little treasure. It’s extremely obedient. Whatever I tell it to do, it will do. Just imagine,"
He looked at Jiang Tao with deep meaning in his eyes, "if I let it crawl into your mouth later, down your esophagus, into your body, and slowly eat away at your internal organs, bit by bit, what kind of scene would that be?"
Even the fierce-looking big man got goosebumps all over from these words.
His method involved brute force, slowly grinding Jiang Tao’s bones to powder.
