I'm not a drama god

Seeing this scene, the little centipedes following behind were dumbfounded.

The centipede caught by Chen Ling was only a second-level one, seemingly the smallest and weakest offspring in the family. As its body was uncontrollably caught by the red paper, the little centipede struggled frantically, making bursts of hissing sounds.

The red paper shrank around Chen Ling, transforming into a sharp and ferocious hand, firmly grasping it, and then slowly bringing it in front of itself...

Chen Ling's face gradually enlarged in the little centipede's eyes. It could clearly see the other's pupils flashing with red light, and the red tongue licking its lips... The fear of death surged into its heart like a tide.

The next moment, its struggles and neighs became more intense.

Chen Ling clearly felt the giant centipede beneath him tremble, its speed increasing, and at the same time it made bursts of hissing sounds... In the past, Chen Ling could not understand the sounds of these monsters, but now he seemed to be able to feel the emotions in these sounds.

It was begging, begging him to give it a little more time. If Chen Ling was really hungry, it could even tear off a few of its own flesh and give them to Chen Ling to eat first, in exchange for the life of its child.

Chen Ling couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Ling suddenly felt like an extremely evil villain, threatening his people with his child's life to do things for him, a living ancient tyrant. After hesitating for a moment, he threw the centipede back.

Although Chen Ling was a little greedy, he was not crazy enough to start eating right now. He did this just to put some pressure on the centipedes. Now it seems that the effect is quite good...

As the red paper floated in the air, the little centipede thrown back by Chen Ling rolled twice on the ground and lay straight on the spot, as if it had fainted from fright.

A grateful hiss came from under his feet again. Without saying a word, the centipede plucked off several of its legs and handed them to Chen Ling respectfully...

Chen Ling:......

"...You don't have to be so polite."

As Chen Ling spoke, he picked up a few centipede legs and, in keeping with the principle of not wasting food, put them to his mouth and bit down, making a crisp crunching sound.

Although the broiler chicken legs were not roasted and lacked in taste and aroma, they were still good as snacks on the road.

A dense army of shadow centipedes shuttled frantically across the gray world, constantly digging out new centipedes from the earth and spreading out to search for their whereabouts.

After an unknown amount of time, the centipede under Chen Ling suddenly changed direction and accelerated towards the depths of darkness.

Chen Ling raised his eyebrows, guessing that they probably gained something...

Finally, the shadow centipede carried him to a raised hill.

Chen Ling looked forward and saw a ray of light flickering deep in the dark and desolate cliffs, like an ancient human village. Occasionally, he could see shadows moving through it...

"There are actually people living in this place?" Chen Ling was extremely surprised.

Combined with Mr. Ye's previous speculation, Chen Ling could roughly guess the identity of that group of people. If nothing unexpected happened, that was the habitat of the Jiangtian Sect. However, there were not many people living there, so it was probably just a branch.

But the Fusion Sect lives in the Gray Realm because they are protected by the Mother Tree. It is indeed a bit inhumane for the Crimson Sky Sect to live in such a remote and strange place.

A low roar came from under Chen Ling's feet.

The giant centipede seemed to be asking Chen Ling whether they should just rush in and wipe out the village. The person Chen Ling was looking for was most likely inside.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ling got off the centipede and said calmly:

"Not for now. Just wait here. I'll give you a signal when necessary."

Since Linglong and Xiaobai are in the village, if he rushes in with a group of disasters, it will definitely cause a commotion. It would be terrible if the two children were injured in a panic... Moreover, this is the first time Chen Ling has seen the habitat of the Jiangtian Sect. It would be a lie to say that he is not interested in it.

You know, Jiangtian Sect has a large piece of Red Star fragment, what if this small village also has one? Even if it is a small one, it will be fine.

After receiving Chen Ling's order, dozens of centipedes hid in the darkness, staring silently at the strange village without making any sound, just like the swordsmen hiding behind the screen in ancient times, waiting for Chen Ling's order to slaughter everyone.

Chen Ling stretched out her hand and tore her face, turning the conspicuous red robe into black. She hid in the darkness and approached the village little by little.

The village was built on a cliff and was not very large. At a glance, there were about a dozen buildings, most of which were made of stones and dead wood, and looked as rough as a primitive village.

In the center of the village, a tall bonfire was burning fiercely. When Chen Ling approached the bonfire, he felt a flash before his eyes. The village, which was originally only black, white and gray, suddenly regained its colors, as if the light from the bonfire dispelled some power in the gray world and made people feel warm.

"No wonder the Jiangtian Sect can survive in the Gray World... It seems that it still has some strength." Chen Ling muttered to himself while hiding in the shadow of a building.

Just as he was about to take action, a loud noise suddenly came from not far away.

Figures in red robes were seen walking out of the houses one after another and gathering towards the entrance of the village, as if something was attracting them there... Chen Ling did not hesitate and followed them secretly.

Torches were dancing in the darkness. Three members of the Crimson Sky Sect, also wearing red robes, were walking towards them from a path on the other side of the cliff with two petite figures.

Seeing the two petite figures, Chen Ling suddenly froze in place.

"Why are they?"

The two people brought by the Jiangtian believers were Xiaotao and Miaomiao, but at this moment they had dull expressions, stiff steps, and their pupils were occupied by two chaotic black lines, like two puppets being controlled.

"Why did you bring back two more?" A Jiangtian believer who came out of the village frowned when he saw this.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't mess with the Fusion Faction! There were already two yesterday, and if there are two more today, the Fusion Faction will definitely get suspicious. It will be troublesome if they find us here!"

"No! We didn't snatch it back! We were just out on patrol as usual, and in the blink of an eye... she... the two of them suddenly appeared, like ghosts!!" The Jiangtian believer holding the torch felt quite aggrieved.

Another Jiangtian believer stepped forward and stared at Xiaotao and Miaomiao for a long time, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Just like those two yesterday... It's like they were hypnotized."

"Once is a coincidence, but twice is definitely a problem!" The Jiangtian Cultist said coldly, "Could it be that the Fusion Sect has found us... and is using this method to test us?"

"If that's the case, couldn't they just call us directly?"

"Who is behind this?"
