Chapter 183 Improving Strength
Lu Feng and Liu Tan were surprised. Was this true? This person actually wanted to help them improve their strength. They began to look forward to it.

Jia Hu looked at the excited crowd and raised his eyebrows, "Don't be too happy too soon, my method is a little special and will be a little painful.

I don’t like to force people to do things. Those who don’t want to can withdraw.”

Everyone was stunned, with hesitation in their eyes. Suddenly someone asked, "Sir, will someone die?"

The others showed fear when they heard this. If someone would die, they really didn't dare to do it.

Jia Hu glanced at the man and said calmly, "As long as I'm here, you won't die."

"What are you afraid of? Sir, I am willing to give it a try."

"As long as you don't die, I'm fine."

"Humph, you are all cowards. I will try even if it means I will die."

The Jinyiwei suddenly became lively and spoke one after another. Without the threat of death, they were of course willing to improve their strength.

After all, Jinyiwei’s job is to live on the edge of a knife. If their strength is improved, their chances of saving their lives will be greater.

When Lu Feng saw Jia Hu frowning, his heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "Enough, listen to the adults."

Everyone fell silent all of a sudden. They were still somewhat in awe of the former commander.

Jia Hu's brows relaxed, he glanced at them, nodded and said, "It seems that no one has withdrawn, that's good."

After saying this, he reached out and lifted the lid of the wooden barrel next to him.

"Swish, swish, swish" countless red long objects shot out of the wooden barrel in an instant, several centimeters long, flashed by, and landed on the Jinyiwei in the blink of an eye.

The Jinyiwei had no idea what was happening and instinctively covered their faces with their hands.
Then I felt something bite my palm. I raised my hand hurriedly to check, but I could only see a small hole on my palm, but no blood was even coming out.

Basically everyone has a small hole on the palm of their hand.

They were a little confused, and Lu Feng and Liu Tan were not spared either. Their faces changed and they couldn't help but look at Jia Hu.

"Sir." Lu Feng couldn't help but said in fear.

Jia Hu's expression remained calm. He had no intention of explaining and just looked at them.

"Oh, it hurts!" Suddenly someone squatted down, holding his chest and screaming.

There was one, and then everyone lay on the ground, holding their chests and rolling around, screaming.

Lu Feng and Liu Tan were better off, but they were also squatting on the ground, their faces pale, cold sweat on their foreheads, gritting their teeth and enduring the pain.

Lu Feng raised his head with difficulty. He thought Jia Hu was going to kill them. There was an expression of disbelief in his eyes, as if asking why.

Jia Hu finally spoke up, "Hold on, it will be good for you."

Lu Feng was stunned and looked at Jia Hu's expression carefully. It seemed that he had no other choice but to believe in him, so he lowered his head and persisted.

Gradually, Lu Feng felt the pain seemed to be subsiding, and he immediately believed Jia Hu a little.

The Jinyiwei were rolling on the ground, and the screams were much quieter.

After a long time, Lu Feng finally felt his heart aching less and his body relaxed.
He sat down on the ground, his clothes were soaked and there was a puddle of water on the ground, which was his sweat.

When the wind blew, Lu Feng felt relaxed all over, as if his body was full of strength.

He was in a daze for a moment. How could this be possible? Maybe he was just hallucinating.

Liu Tan pulled Lu Feng's clothes and whispered, "Sir."

Lu Feng turned to look at Liu Tan in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Um...Sir, look." Liu Tan's voice was trembling, and he stretched out his hand and thrust it towards the stone floor.

Lu Feng looked over and his pupils shrank. He saw his finger easily poked into the stone slab, took it out, and poked it again on the side, making another small hole.

"Just now I felt full of strength, so I tried it, but I didn't expect..." Liu Tan withdrew his hand and said with a dry throat.

Lu Feng suppressed the shock in his heart, stretched out his finger and thrust it into the ground.

"Puff." It was like inserting it into soft mud, without any hindrance.

"Hiss" he took a breath of cold air and suddenly looked up at Jia Hu.

Is this the improvement in strength? That's too terrifying.

At this time, a Jinyiwei shouted angrily, "Sir, you can kill or chop us up as you please. There is no need to torture us like this, right?"

The other Jinyiwei also looked at Jia Hu with dissatisfaction. They knew that Jia Hu was in a high position and had great power, but the pain they had just experienced still left them with lingering fears.

Before Jia Hu could say anything, Lu Feng's face changed and he jumped up.

The figure flashed to the side of the Jinyiwei and kicked him.
"Fool, the master is kind enough to improve your strength, and you still dare to be resentful. Are you looking for death?"

The Jinyiwei was startled and instinctively raised his palms, then took several steps back with a "bang", but still stood firmly.

The Jinyiwei was stunned for a moment, looking at his palm in surprise, and suddenly slapped a big tree next to him.
"Crack." A waist-thick tree was broken in an instant.

"Uh, this. When did I become so powerful?" The Jinyiwei looked at the broken tree stupidly and muttered.

Lu Feng's eyes flashed, and as expected, he said gloomily, "Idiot, it is naturally the strength that the adults have improved for us."

The Jinyiwei shuddered all over, looked up at Jia Hu, who had no expression on his face, and blushed.
"Plop" he knelt on the ground. "I am ignorant of what is good for me. Please punish me, sir." The other Jinyiwei looked at each other, looked at the big tree, then looked at their own palms, their eyes shining.
Someone slapped the ground with a "bang", the stone slab broke, and his palm sank into it.

Then the others followed suit and slapped the ground one after another.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The stone slabs of the entire square shattered and smoke and dust rose up.

"Haha, I'm so powerful. I feel like I can beat a hundred people, no, a thousand people now."

Jia Hu's face darkened. The square had been ruined like this. He said coldly:

"If I don't restore this place to its original state today, you will understand what real pain is."

Leng Youyou's voice brought everyone back to their senses. Looking at the mess on the ground, they felt extremely embarrassed. Lu Feng hurriedly said
"Don't worry, sir. We'll fix this place in a moment."

All the Jinyiwei quickly lined up and knelt down.
"Thank you for your generosity, sir. I swear to be loyal to you till death."

Jia Hu's face lightened up a little, and he said calmly, "Well, get up." He paused for a moment before continuing

"To tell you the truth, what just entered your body is a kind of poisonous insect, the blood poisonous insect, which can fully stimulate your potential.

As long as it is in you, you can always exert your strongest strength.

But there is also a disadvantage, that is, you will only have this level of strength in your lifetime and cannot improve it.

The most important thing is that I can control these poisonous insects, and I can control your life and death."

Jia Hu looked at the Jinyiwei whose expression changed slightly, and his tone was calm.

"I never force anyone. If you don't want to accept it now, I can still remove the poison. If you don't want to accept it now, you can stand up."

Everyone's eyes flickered, as if they were trying to decide. Suddenly someone whispered

"Sir, do we still have the strength to take out the poisonous insect?"

Jia Hu shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's back to the way it was before."

The man's face changed, and he immediately said, "Sir, I have decided to keep the Gu worm. With your strength, it would be easy to kill us even without the Gu worm."

Lu Feng and Liu Tan immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, we don't regret it either. We are waiting for your orders."

Then the Jinyiwei knelt down again and said, "Swear to be loyal to you till death and never regret it."

Jia Hu nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, you guys get up."

Jia Hu suddenly waved his hand again.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" a black light flashed across the sky. Everyone looked over and their pupils shrank.
I saw the ground covered with densely packed black centipedes. They were not big, only about ten centimeters long, with a pair of transparent wings on their backs, but they gave people a sense of danger.

"To increase your combat power, these are the flying centipedes I made. They are as sharp as knives and are extremely poisonous.

One for each of you, I will make them recognize you as their masters, don't resist." Jia Hu glanced at them and said calmly.

"Hiss!" Everyone took a breath and looked at the densely packed centipedes on the ground.
If it's really as powerful as the adults say, then what are they afraid of?
Jia Hu waved his hand, and centipedes shot out in the blink of an eye, biting their hands.
The Jinyiwei resisted the urge to throw the centipede away and watched the scene.

"Hey, I think I can feel a connection with it."

"Me too, it's amazing, come on my shoulders"

“It understands me.”

The Jinyiwei looked at the centipede in their hands in amazement. Lu Feng looked at the centipede in his hand with admiration in his eyes. This was a good thing that could save his life.

Wu Neng also came, but he had neither the blood poison nor the centipede.

Seeing the centipedes in these people's hands, his eyes were full of envy. He came to Jia Hu cautiously and said eagerly
"Um... Duke, have I... offended you in any way? Why didn't you improve my strength? And I don't have this centipede either?"

Jia Hu glanced at Wu Neng and shook his head.

"You don't need blood qi to improve your strength."

Wu Neng was startled and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why?"

Jia Hu said calmly, "You will know when the time comes."

Wu Neng scratched his head unwillingly, but didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"But there is still one centipede." Jia Hu suddenly said, and then a "clattering" sound was heard.

A one-meter-long black centipede shot over like lightning and appeared at Jia Hu's feet.

Wu Neng stared at the centipede with wide eyes, "Isn't this exactly the same as Master Huan San's centipede?"

Jia Hu nodded and said, "Yes, it is a species. I'll give this one to you."

Wu Neng was overjoyed and quickly succeeded in getting the centipede to recognize its master. He coiled the centipede around his waist and looked at the Jinyiwei with pride.

Now it was the Jinyiwei's turn to look at him with envy. They looked at their own little centipede, then looked at Wu Neng's centipede. There was simply no comparison.

Just by looking at its size, they knew that this giant centipede was definitely more powerful than them.

Jia Hu's face turned serious, "Now that your strength has improved, it's time for you to do something."

Everyone instantly fell silent and looked at Jia Hu solemnly. Their strength had improved and they were eager to try.
