This large, flat and long centipede has two more segments than regular centipedes, a total of twenty-four. Its trunk is brown-red and the antennae on both sides of the front are very long.

If Liu Qingzhi had not known in advance that this was a poisonous insect made by Chen Miao, when he first saw this three-meter-long centipede, he would have thought that it was actually a centipede-like mutant.

At this moment, the king of poisonous insects refined by Chen Miao was curling up its long body very obediently, staying quietly beside its master Chen Miao, with its head slightly tilted up, as if using the single compound eye at the front to distinguish the surrounding images by the brightness of light.

Zhao Jiayan stood right in front of the King of Gu Insects, looking left and right, and exclaimed in amazement: "Does this giant centipede only listen to you? How do you command its actions?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps towards the centipede. Zhao Jiayan still knew his limits and did not get too close to the newly-minted King of Gu Insects. Instead, he kept a distance of about one meter and continued to ask Chen Miao, "Without your instructions, it shouldn't attack randomly, right?"

Chen Miao first answered Zhao Jiayan's second question: "No."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Liu Qingzhi and Huo Lin also looked at the insect, and explained patiently: "Use a flute." He took out a bamboo green flute from his clothes: "It can make corresponding command movements through the changes in the melody of the flute sound."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingzhi shifted his gaze from the centipede to the bamboo flute in Chen Miao's hand.

He thought a little boredly that if the final product was a king cobra or something like that, it would seem to be more suitable for this flute tool.

At this time, Zhao Jiayan had already walked from the direction directly opposite the centipede to the side of the centipede. He lowered his head and began to carefully observe the densely arranged legs on both sides of the centipede's body: "These legs look very sharp. Is it very poisonous?"

Liu Qingzhi walked over to Zhao Jiayan, took a close look at the row of finely woven feet, and chuckled, "You'll know if you try it."

Hearing Liu Qingzhi's words, Chen Miao turned his gaze to Zhao Jiayan: "Xiao Zhao, do you want to try it?"

As soon as he finished speaking and Zhao Jiayan hadn't answered, Chen Miao touched the holes of the bamboo flute with his fingers, and a bamboo sound rang out in the air.

The next second, the centipede, which was originally curled up, moved its torso and aimed one of its legs at Zhao Jiayan's forehead.

Zhao Jiayan: "!"

If I move a little further, it will almost touch his forehead!

Zhao Jiayan quickly stepped back, jumped, and hid behind Liu Qingzhi very neatly.

Liu Qingzhi looked back at Zhao Jia Yan glanced at him and said, "Too exaggerated."

Zhao Jiayan chuckled and slowly walked out from behind Liu Qingzhi.

Chen Miao looked at Zhao Jiayan, then at Liu Qingzhi, then at Huo Lin, and finally turned his gaze to Liu Qingzhi.

He never asked what the specific relationship was between these three people, and he knew very well that he shouldn't ask.

At first he thought that Brother Huo and the young man named Zhao Jiayan were Liu Qingzhi's teammates.

Afterwards, an unusual subtlety was seen in the interaction between Brother Huo and Liu Qingzhi.
