Chapter 801 Catching Silkworms with One Hand
"I need this Ice Silkworm Gu King in exchange for your freedom." Zhou Wen said, pointing to the ice silkworm on the ground.
The witch nodded, then tapped the ice silkworm with her finger. The ferocious and domineering ice silkworm actually crawled towards Zhou Wen obediently and stopped at Zhou Wen's feet, but had no intention of attacking Zhou Wen.
"It seems that the Xiao family really underestimated the power of the Gu Girl. If they knew that she could easily make the top-level Gu insects like the Ice Silkworm obey her orders, I wonder what their expressions would be.
Zhou Wen took out the Yuanjin pot prepared by Dugu Chong and placed it on the ground. The ice silkworm jumped in by itself, like a pet kept in captivity.
Zhou Wen's heart moved, and he looked at the Gu girl and asked, "Can you secretly control the other Ice Silkworm Gu and make it look like I've caught it?"
The witch nodded again, it seemed that she could do it.
"Then you will control the ice silkworm Gu later and let it pretend to be caught by me." Zhou Wen told his plan to the Gu girl. After making sure that the Gu girl could understand it, Zhou Wen took the ice Gu in the Yuanjin pot and sneaked back to where Li Xuan and the others were.
"Oh no, the witch failed, and someone stole the ice silkworm." Xiao Tianfang's face suddenly changed.
"How is it possible? Who can snatch the ice silkworm away from the Gu girl without anyone noticing?" Xiao Liuqi was also shocked and said in disbelief.
"I don't know. The poisonous insects we planted didn't react at all, and the poison girl didn't find any trace of him." Xiao Tianfang's face was very ugly. He continued, "I have already summoned the poison girl back. Now I can only focus on capturing this ice silkworm."
As soon as Xiao Tianfang finished speaking, he saw Zhou Wen, who had left before, returned to Dugu Chong. He said a few words to Dugu Chong and walked straight towards the direction of the ice silkworm.
"Could it be that he stole the other ice silkworm?" Xiao Tianfang's heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Liuqi, however, had already led his men to block Zhou Wen, preventing him from approaching the battlefield. At the same time, he shouted to Dugu Chong, "Master Dugu, we are trying to capture this ice silkworm. It's not appropriate for you to interfere like this, is it?"
Dugu Chong said with a smile: "I'm still here. I haven't even moved. When did I interfere in your affairs?"
"The Dugu family has always done things in an open and honest manner. Mr. Dugu, you don't mean to say that this friend is not from your Dugu family, do you?" Xiao Liuqi pointed at Zhou Wen and said.
"I really hope he is from our Dugu family, but unfortunately he is not." Dugu Chong did not wait for Xiao Liuqi to say anything else and continued, "But it cannot be said that he has no connection with our Dugu family. Although he is not from our Dugu family, he is my uncle."
Xiao Liuqi, Xiao Tianfang and others were all shocked. Although Dugu Chong was not a powerful figure in the Dugu family, he was of a very high generation and was very famous for raising Gu. He was a famous master in the southern area.
It was hard to believe that Dugu Chong actually said that the young man in front of him was his uncle, but a person like Dugu Chong would obviously not joke about such a thing.
"Could it be that this person has cultivated to the point of rejuvenation? He looks young, but is actually an old monster?" Xiao Tianfang thought to himself.
"Since he is your uncle, don't you think it is inappropriate for him to do this?" Xiao Liuqi said.
Dugu Chong still smiled and said, "It's useless for you to tell me this. Only uncles can discipline disciples. When have you ever seen a disciple discipline an uncle?"
"Sir..." Xiao Liuqi looked at Zhou Wen and was about to say something, but suddenly saw Zhou Wen stretch out his hand and grab. A blood-red vortex appeared on his palm, and it actually sucked in the ice silkworm that was fighting with the blood scorpion.
The majestic and awe-inspiring ice silkworm could not withstand the suction of the blood-colored vortex and was directly sucked into the Yuanjin pot by Zhou Wen.
"How is this possible?" Not only the Xiao family, but even Dugu Chong widened their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.
Although he had thought that Zhou Wen might be able to subdue the ice silkworm, he had never imagined it would be in this way.
Originally, Dugu Chong thought that Zhou Wen would take advantage of the bird's restraining effect, and then use various means and the mythical companion pet to fight a fierce battle with the ice silkworm and finally subdue it.
But who knew that Zhou Wen just stretched out his hand and sucked the ice silkworm into the Yuanjin pot, as if he had collected not a Gu King but an ordinary insect.
The Xiao family members' eyes were almost popping out of their heads. They had been fighting the ice silkworms for so long, so they naturally knew how terrifying they were.
So far, they have lost hundreds of poisonous insects and Kumantongs, but they still have no way to deal with the ice silkworm. Even the mythical blood scorpion poison is about to be killed.
But Zhou Wen actually caught the ice silkworm with just one hand. This was such a terrifying power that it was simply unbelievable.
"As expected of Dugu Chong's uncle, he is indeed an old monster." Xiao Tianfang was secretly shocked and his face turned extremely ugly.
After spending so much effort and paying such a huge price, the ice silkworm was caught by someone else. Xiao Tianfang didn't need to guess, he was sure that the other ice silkworm must have been taken away by the uncle of Dugu Chong in front of him.
He wanted to snatch it, but Dugu Chong alone made him lose the courage to do so, not to mention that the man in front of him was Dugu Chong's uncle, who had subdued the ice silkworm with one hand.
Only then did Xiao Tianfang feel a surge of Yin energy returning and entering the Gumanli he was holding in his hands.
"I came back too late." Xiao Tianfang felt helpless.
"The Gumanli in your hand is quite interesting." Zhou Wen said as he looked at the Gumanli in Xiao Tianfang's hand.
The Xiao family members' faces changed. If someone could catch the ice silkworm with one hand, and their Gu Manli was snatched away from them, they would probably have no chance to resist.
Even the god-level Gumanli probably doesn't have the ability to compete with such an existence.
"Grandpa Dugu, the Dugu family is the master of the southern district. You won't watch your uncle snatch our Gumanli, right?" Xiao Liuqi was uneasy and said to Dugu Chong with gritted teeth.
"Who said I wanted to steal your things? I, an old man, just thought that thing was a little special, so I asked casually. Even if I really wanted it, I would not steal things from you youngsters. The worst that could happen is I would buy your Gumanli. Why bother to steal it?" Zhou Wen said before Dugu Chong could speak.
"This Gumanli is our Xiao family's heirloom, and we won't sell it." Xiao Liuqi said.
"Even if I exchange the ice silkworms with you, you won't sell them?" Zhou Wen said calmly.
"You want to exchange the ice silkworm for Gumanli?" Xiao Tianfang and Xiao Liuqi were both stunned.
"What? You don't want to change the ice silkworms? Where are those two ice silkworms?" Zhou Wen continued.
"Are you really going to exchange two ice silkworms for Gumanli?" Xiao Tianfang and Xiao Liuqi looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
In their opinion, although the Gu Girl Gu Manli is indeed very strong, she is only slightly stronger than one ice silkworm. The practicality of two ice silkworms is far stronger than that of the Gu Girl Gu Manli.
What's more, the witch Gu Manli will retaliate against her master. Let alone two ice silkworms, even if it is just one ice silkworm, Xiao Tianfang will consider exchanging them.
"Uncle-master, this is absolutely not possible." Dugu Chong was shocked. Exchanging two ice silkworms for Gu Manli was a disadvantageous deal no matter how you looked at it.
But how could they know that the two ice silkworms were so much inferior to the Gu girl, and were not even on the same level. Even if they really exchanged them, Zhou Wen would have gotten a great bargain, not to mention that he had no intention of really giving the ice silkworms to the Xiao family.
