After narrowly escaping the army of poisonous insects, the few people finally entered the village, took a narrow and hidden goat path, and walked deeper into the village under the cover of night and tree shadows.

"It will be over in two days, so everyone cheer up."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came from the corner ahead, followed by steady and quick footsteps.

Several people were startled and looked around, then ran to the bushes not far from the roadside in tacit understanding and lay on the ground to hide.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon, they saw a tall and straight man appear in their sight.

In the darkness of night, they could vaguely see that the man was wearing a black robe, his hair and beard were slightly gray, and he looked to be about fifty years old.

Behind the man were five or six strong men wearing Miao costumes. They were walking hurriedly and rushing somewhere.

"Village leader, please slow down. It's still some time before dawn." The young man next to the man advised. He had to jog to catch up with the man, which showed how powerful the man was.

"Village leader?" After they walked away, Lu Xiuyuan looked at Bai Yu in surprise and asked in a low voice.

Bai Yu nodded, "That's right, from what he said just now, this man is the Black Miao Village leader Yue Xiangsong!"

"What is he doing taking people here so late at night? He seems mysterious and anxious." Xia Younan murmured curiously.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go and have a look. Anyway, we entered the village to settle accounts with Yue Xiangsong. Now that he has come to us, we can learn more about the situation in secret."

Several people agreed unanimously, walked out of the bushes, and followed Yue Xiangsong and others from a distance.

They all had martial arts skills and walked briskly, and with the cover of the night and the trees, they followed them all the way without attracting any attention.

The sky turned from dark black to dark blue, the moon became increasingly hazy, the cold wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound, and the cries of crows echoed harshly in the mountains and forests, making the night look particularly gloomy.

Lu Xiuyuan and others followed Yue Xiangsong for about an incense stick of time, and finally saw them walking into a hidden cave from afar.

After a while, a dim candlelight lit up in the cave.

Lu Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and whispered, "Go over and take a look. Be careful."

Several people crouched and tiptoed to the outside of the cave, then hid behind the grass and trees on both sides of the cave, carefully looking into the scene inside the cave.

This cave is very large, with an area as large as three houses. The cave is round in shape, and there are five rectangular beds placed side by side in the middle of the cave, similar to the kang in Northeast China.

The scene on the bed frightened all the peeping people to death. They stared at it with their eyes wide open, and a chill ran up their heels along their spines.

There were ten children lying neatly on each of the five large beds, making a total of about fifty children.

The oldest of these children was no more than eight years old, and there were both boys and girls. At this moment, they all had their eyes closed and were motionless, with a blue-gray face, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.

However, this was not enough to scare these people who were used to the wind and rain. What really made their scalps tingle was the things on those children.

insect!

Countless, hundreds and hundreds of bugs!

Those children were all naked, and black, sticky leech-like insects were densely swarming on their naked bodies. There were so many of them that they even completely covered their original skin.

If you don't look carefully, you would think that the children's bodies below the head are black.

All the insects were alive. They twisted their fat bodies one by one, with their heads pressed tightly against the children's naked bodies, as if they were desperately sucking something.

There were fifty or so children all like this. The bodies of the insects reflected a little under the candlelight, and they wiggled and swayed on the children's tiny bodies in a slippery and greasy way, which made people feel nauseous.

The Black Miao village chief Yue Xiangsong and his men who had entered the cave were fiddling with some bottles and jars on the long table on the other side, apparently mixing something, and were completely oblivious to the disgusting scene in front of them.

God!

Xia Younan covered her mouth to hold back from screaming, her eyes wide open, her stomach churning, goose bumps all over her body.

Looking at the others, the men with strong endurance were better off, but Qu Xiaoyou and Bai Yiyao were both as pale as paper, with masks of pain showing on their faces. They were obviously shocked and sickened by the scene before them, and wanted to vomit but didn't dare to.

Lu Xiuyuan's face turned pale, his thin lips were pursed into a line, and his fists were clenched involuntarily.

Needless to say, these children were the ones who were lost in Diancheng at the foot of the mountain.

As expected by the Bai Village Chief, only the Black Miao Village could use witchcraft to kidnap the child.

Damn it! What are these poisonous insects doing on the children? Yue Xiangsong, this damn beast! These are still children, what kind of vicious heart does he have to be able to bear to treat them like this?

There were so many poisonous insects in the cave that the people did not dare to act rashly. They could only suppress their grief and anger and continue to wait and watch, hoping to find a chance to rescue the children.

After a while, Yue Xiangsong and his men seemed to have prepared some kind of potion, which was put into small porcelain bottles, about fifty in total, just the number of children.

"Drink it to them."

When Yue Xiangsong, the leader of the Black Miao village, gave an order, five or six young men nearby immediately approached the children lying on the bed with bottles and jars.

"Do not……"

Xia Younan lost his temper and wanted to rush out, but was held down by Lu Xiuyuan.

Then he whispered, "Be patient. We are not sure what he gave the children. He took the trouble to bring the children here. It is impossible that he wanted to poison them."

Xia Younan had no choice but to give up, suppressing the panic in his heart and staring closely at those people who were about to do evil.

"He is worse than beasts, with a heart of a snake and a scorpion, he shall not die a good death!" Bai Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept cursing Yue Xiangsong in the cave in a low voice.

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at him and made a gesture to keep quiet, indicating that he should speak more quietly.

Several people in the cave divided the work and worked together to quickly pour the medicine in the bottles into the mouths of the unconscious children. Soon, more than a dozen children had drunk the medicine.

At this time, with the dim candlelight, several people could see the true face of the Black Miao leader.

Under the hooded cloak, his eyebrows were like two black feathers, his big, bright eyes were shining with a brilliance that should not be underestimated, he had a straight nose, slightly thick lips, and a thin face.

Compared to Bai Ziweng's skinny appearance, his features were straight and three-dimensional, and his body was tall and strong, like the handsome "uncle" described in romance novels. In terms of appearance, he was many times better than Bai Ziweng.

If it weren't for that cold and sinister look, they would never have imagined that he was such a vicious demon.

Just when everyone was nervous and at a loss, an unexpected situation occurred.

The child's expression suddenly became distorted after taking the medicine. His face was pale, his brows were furrowed, his mouth was open, and veins were visible on his little forehead. He looked in extreme pain.

Their bodies were curled up tightly, like overcooked shrimps, and they trembled from time to time.

They are so weak and helpless that it makes people feel heartbroken.

The bugs on their bodies were completely unaffected and continued to suck on their flesh hungrily.

Then, the children's ears, eyes, noses, and mouths all started to ooze out black and red liquid. With the bugs all over their bodies and their hideous faces, they looked like ghosts, scarier than the ghost dolls in horror movies.
