“Strange, why is there only one Ice Silkworm? Where did the other Ice Silkworm go?” Worm Dugu frowned.

“Could it be that the Xiao family lured the two Ice Silkworms apart?” Li Xuan asked.

Worm Dugu shook his head and said, “These two Ice Silkworms are a pair. They have something akin to telepathy abilities. It’s not that easy to separate them. If I could separate them, I would have long ago. The Xiao family wouldn’t even stand a chance.”

“Perhaps you don’t have the ability to do so. Just because you can’t lure them apart doesn’t mean they can’t either,” Li Yue said deliberately.

Surprisingly, Worm Dugu wasn’t angry this time. He thought for a moment and said, “That’s very possible.”

Li Xuan looked at Worm Dugu in surprise. Every time he mentioned Gu, Worm Dugu would proudly act as though he was number one in the world. It was unbelievable that he would admit that he was inferior to the Xiao family.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. Have you forgotten what I told you? If the Xiao family’s Mythical-level Kuman Thong is really refined from the baby reincarnated from a Gu God, it’s not surprising that they can lure the Ice Silkworm away,” said Worm Dugu.

Zhou Wen knew that what Worm Dugu said was right. It was likely that Gu Lady had lured the Ice Silkworm away.

Xiao Tianfang held the Kuman Nee that was placed in the temple hall, but Gu Lady was nowhere to be seen. She must have lured the other Ice Silkworm away.

This Ice Silkworm was trapped here by the Xiao family and was fighting a blood-colored scorpion.

The Blood Scorpion was clearly no match for the Ice Silkworm. Its body was almost frozen by the ice mist that the Ice Silkworm spewed out. It survived thanks to the Xiao family’s people using all sorts of Gu and Companion Beasts to barely hold back the Ice Silkworm.

As a result, the Xiao family sacrificed a large number of Gu and Companion Beasts. Furthermore, the Xiao family was still using Kuman Thong to augment the Blood Scorpion. This only allowed them to stall the Ice Silkworm.

The Ice Silkworm’s ice aura was extremely powerful. Zhou Wen had seen some ice-elemental Companion Beasts before, but this was the first time he had seen one as powerful as the Ice Silkworm.

As long as one touched its ice aura, be it Gu or Kuman Thong, their bodies would gradually freeze.

The ice aura seemed to have a spreading attribute. As long as one touched it, one’s body would become colder. Many Gu only touched a tiny bit of the ice aura. In the beginning, it wasn’t too big a problem, but after a while, they would freeze into ice and eventually shatter.

“Should we take action? Now that the two Ice Silkworms have been separated, it’s a great opportunity,” Li Xuan asked Worm Dugu.

“There’s no rush. Let’s wait and see. They aren’t a match for the Ice Silkworm.” Worm Dugu paused before saying, “After all, our Dugu family is the king of the South District. We can’t behave excessively. Otherwise, I’ll be nagged by those fellows at home. It will be a headache.”

When the Xiao family saw that Worm Dugu and company only stayed in the distance and had no intention of going forward, they couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

“Tianfang, do you think Worm Dugu will snatch our Ice Silkworm?” Xiao Liuqi whispered to Xiao Tianfang.

Xiao Tianfang said with a heavy expression, “The Dugu family controls the South District. On the surface, they do things fairly, so they might not openly snatch it. However, we still have to be on guard. I hope that Gu Lady can quickly capture the other Ice Silkworm.”

“How’s the situation on Gu Lady’s side?” Xiao Liuqi asked.

“It’s very vague. I only know that they are fighting,” Xiao Tianfang said.
