Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 1017 There is a Mountain God Here

Jiang Wenming took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "How exactly did these guys get up there? The entrance must be nearby, but we absolutely cannot make any rash moves and alert the enemy."

Oda looked around warily; there was no way such a place would be unguarded.

Jiang Jiyun quickly picked up a pen and paper, wrote a line and sent it to her brother's space, telling him that there was a high possibility that there was a secret Japanese laboratory there, and asking him to be on high alert.

Xiao Tian and Jiang Wenming also made the most of this precious time to load all the firearms with ammunition, so that they could quickly switch weapons in the subsequent battle.

At that moment, Jiang Jiyuan, who was on the road, suddenly stopped and took out the note from his spatial storage to read it carefully.

With just a glance, his expression instantly turned extremely grave.

Over the years, he could no longer remember exactly how many of these hidden Japanese laboratories his team had destroyed!

Over the years, who knows how many such laboratories the Japanese have secretly built in China.

Fu Jingming, who lives far away in Northeast China, said that he had shut down several such laboratories in recent years, and people in other cities had also heard about them.

The Japanese soldiers were either underground or in the mountains, and some of the bolder ones were even operating in city hospitals. No one knew exactly how many of these places were still in operation.

After calming himself down a bit, Jiang Jiyuan briefly explained a few precautions to Xiao Wei beside him, and then began to look around for a location where he could receive a cell phone signal.

After some effort, he finally managed to climb a relatively large tree and make a phone call to the outside world. He contacted Ma Chao, who was in charge of providing support on the outside, and told him about the situation.

Jiang Jiyun and the other two remained where they were, making preparations for battle and waiting for Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei to arrive so they could act together.

When Jiang Jiyuan learned that his sister had almost been injured, he was about to go forward to check on her body when Jiang Jiyun stopped him.

Jiang Jiyun said to her brother with a stern face, "Brother, the body that was just thrown down is still warm. After my careful examination, I have determined that the person died of poisoning, but I still cannot determine what kind of poison it was."

Jiang Jiyun pursed his lips and glanced at the pile of corpses in the distance, saying, "Judging from the clothes he was wearing, this deceased person seems to belong to one of our own. The worn-out clothes are still recognizable as military uniforms, the standard uniforms unique to our troops!"

Upon hearing Jiang Jiyun's words, Jiang Wenming and the others quickly ran forward to check the situation.

As expected, to everyone's surprise, among the mountain of corpses in front of them were many people wearing military uniforms, including not only our soldiers, but also soldiers from the friendly Nationalist army.

Compared to the number of soldiers, the vast majority of those on the scene were ordinary civilians, men, women, and children, none of whom escaped the tragedy.

Judging from the disorderly and haphazard arrangement of these corpses, it can be inferred that at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands, of bodies were stored here.

This suggests that the experimental site was probably already operating quietly four or five years ago.

"So many people have died and no one noticed anything unusual here. There's something seriously wrong here!" Jiang Wenming frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Suddenly, Jiang Jiyuan seemed to remember something and quickly told everyone, "When I was questioning those survivors on the outskirts, I asked them curiously why they didn't escape into the woods to avoid the enemy's pursuit."

"They all gave me the same answer: that a mountain god lives in the mountains and that if you trespass, you will be punished by the mountain god and might even be eaten by monsters!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone present widened their eyes, their faces showing disbelief.

"Mountain gods? Do such things really exist?" Oda broke the silence first, asking in confusion.

"And it's a mountain god who eats people... What kind of god is that? It's practically a demon!" Xiao Wei chimed in.

Jiang Wenming also shook his head in disbelief: "What kind of god in the world only eats people? There must be a conspiracy hidden here."

But another possibility flashed through Jiang Jiyun's mind.

She thought to herself that since there was a laboratory set up by the Japanese in this mountain forest, the rumors about the mountain god were probably spread by these Japanese soldiers on purpose.

The purpose was simply to instill fear in the locals, making them afraid to approach the area, thereby protecting their experimental base from being detected by the outside world.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but ask her brother for confirmation, "Brother, did any of those people actually see that so-called mountain god?"

Jiang Jiyuan frowned, looking incredulous, and said, "They said that someone did see it, but it sounds too outrageous, almost like a myth."

"Huh? What mythology?"

"They actually said it was a snake as big as a small mountain, and its head alone was bigger than an ordinary farmhouse! How could such a big snake exist in the world?" Jiang Jiyuan shook his head after saying that.

He simply couldn't imagine how big the snakes those people described must have been.

Jiang Jiyun listened silently to her brother's story, secretly astonished.

As soon as Jiang Jiyuan finished speaking, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Wenming, who was equally astonished, beside her.

Coming to his senses, Jiang Wenming exchanged a glance with his niece, then broke the silence and said, "We seem to have seen a similar behemoth before, but at that time we were in the Japanese's homeland and only caught a fleeting glimpse."

Oda's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "Does the Japanese really have snakes of such an astonishing size in their homeland? Is this true or false?"

Jiang Jiyun tried hard to recall the scene at that time, and after a moment slowly shook his head and replied, "Actually, we ourselves can't be sure."

"At that time, my uncle and I successfully blew up the Japanese palace, and then hid in the mountains behind the palace on our escape route."

"Unexpectedly, we soon encountered several Japanese Onmyoji. To avoid a direct confrontation, we continued our escape."

"It was during this process that I caught a glimpse of that thing. It was lying there quietly, looking like a giant python that was crawling around, or like a carved stone sculpture."

Jiang Wenming said, "I feel like it's a big snake. Those two eyes look really big. I thought they were truck headlights at first, but now they look more like a snake."

Jiang Jiyun looked at the little green snake on her neck; she didn't even have enough snakes to fill someone's teeth.

"We don't know if it's true or not yet, so don't be afraid," Jiang Jiyuan reassured everyone.

"Even if it really exists, I'll kill it to avenge those who were killed!" Jiang Jiyun said, releasing the explosive charge.
