Hearing Zhang Dadan's words, the handsome young man looked at the burly man who seemed to have ill intentions and shook his head. "Since Granny Snake can't take down this little Icy Silkworm, I won't try it." Then, he rubbed his chin as if he was talking to himself and answering his own question. "As far as I know, it's very difficult for an Icy Blood Cold Silkworm to be born naturally in the wild. It's very rare. Why did one appear out of thin air and land in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range? How strange! I seem to remember that Master Guang Shan stopped here a few years ago."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the bald man, who had pretended not to care, actually had an ugly expression. He stared at the young man with a dangerous gaze for a while before saying in a muffled voice. "You don't have to worry about that. Since none of you can take it down, why don't I give it a try?"
As he spoke, he took out a rat from his waist pocket with his left hand. As soon as the rat appeared, it screamed and struggled in panic in its palm. Accompanied by its scream, drops of water dripped from its body and covered Zhang Dadan's fingers.
Seeing this, Zhang Dadan frowned. He wanted to crush it to death, but when he remembered that the purpose of this trip still needed it, he could only endure it. Ignoring its pitiful big eyes, his free right hand took out another expensive small wooden box and pointed at the rat, then pointed at the Icy Silkworm over there.
He actually spoke to it, "Go over and put the Icy Silkworm in this box. Take it back." Just like that, he repeated it several times. Then, he took out what seemed to be something to eat and stuffed it into the rat's paw.
The rat actually listened in confusion. It first ate the grain of food, then seemed to agree. It stretched out its two small claws and grabbed the small wooden box that was about the same height as it.
It walked unsteadily towards the Icy Silkworm.
Zhang Dadan's strange behavior surprised the few people present. On the other hand, Granny Snake, who usually accompanied poisonous creatures, became thoughtful.
...
Little Rat? On the tree, Bai Chuan's eyes widened in shock! Wasn't this the rat that was filled with spirituality that he had encountered previously? What was going on? After he let it go back then, it was actually captured again? And it had something to do with this baldy?
Based on Zhang Dadan's actions just now, he must be especially familiar with the specific situation of this rat. Then, did he raise this rat? However, how could an ordinary rat with some intelligence take down an Icy Silkworm?
Bai Chuan recalled how ferocious this seemingly fat and weak Icy Silkworm was previously. Would this rat work? At this moment, countless questions arose in Bai Chuan's heart. At the same time, he did not know if he should be glad or speechless.
In a huge forest, if it wasn't a coincidence, Zhang Dadan could actually find a small rat. If it wasn't a coincidence, it had a purpose. If he had eaten this rat back then, what would have happened now?
Did that human find it while it was in a daze? Or did it attract a large group of humans and beat it up? Or did nothing happen?
At this moment, Bai Chuan did not know how he felt. Should he say that he had gotten rid of a lot of trouble because of the kindness of a spiritual creature?
Everything was really decided by the heavens.
Just as Bai Chuan was letting his imagination run wild, the situation below had changed.
The Icy Silkworm, which was extremely fierce no matter who approached, suddenly jumped out and wanted to attack again the moment the rat approached. However, at this moment, a gust of wind appeared. It blew from behind the rat and headed towards the Icy Silkworm.
Smack!
After this gust of wind blew past, the white and tender insect involuntarily withdrew its cold aura and fell from the sky as if it had lost its vitality. Not long after, it struggled to get up again and stared at the rat in fear. It was no longer as ferocious as before.
"What?"
"What's going on?"
"What happened to the Icy Silkworm?"
Instantly, several surprised voices sounded. The Zhao siblings widened their eyes in disbelief as they watched this extremely ridiculous scene. At this moment, Bai Chuan also looked like he had seen a ghost.
Seeing everyone's performance, Zhang Dadan nodded in satisfaction and laughed. "You didn't expect this, right? A powerful Icy Silkworm that's rarely seen in a hundred years is actually afraid of a damn rat without any strength."
"Oh, why? I don't think this rat is an ordinary rat, right?" At this moment, the handsome young man beside him was also puzzled and looked at him suspiciously.
"Ha~ You're quite knowledgeable." Zhang Dadan looked at him in surprise and continued, "Indeed, this rat in front of me was nurtured by that old fart of mine when he was alive. Now that he's dead, I might as well tell you."
As if he had finally found an audience, or perhaps he felt that the Icy Silkworm was already within reach, the tall man started talking. "You should have guessed it before, right? Where did this Icy Blood Silkworm come from? That's right. It's indeed the one that my old fart kept. After all, you all know how rare this Icy Blood Silkworm is. It's basically impossible for it to be born in the wild. And this one is the one from the Zhang family."
"The Zhang family?" As soon as he finished speaking, the delicate woman beside him exclaimed, "Is it the Zhang family that involved several major sects in the Hedong Rebellion back then?"
Zhang Dadan was a little unhappy since he was interrupted,but he continued to answer, "That's right. On the eve of the Zhang family's destruction, that old fart of mine happened to come. Then, at the last moment, the head of the Zhang family entrusted it to that old fart and asked him to hand it over to the person he should hand it over to.
"Originally, this thing should have belonged to me in the end. After all, I'm his eldest disciple and usually serve him without complaint. But… but… But why did he plan to hand it over to that ignorant, incompetent, and playful piece of trash?! In what way am I inferior to him?"
As he spoke, the man's face became ferocious and his tone was filled with unwillingness. "He's a piece of trash who only knows how to cause trouble every day! How can he be worthy of such a precious treasure! Why is he so biased? What did I not do well enough? I've worked hard for so many years and served tea and water. Am I inferior to a piece of trash?"
"So you murdered him just like that? And killed your junior brother?" Granny Snake asked with a frown.
"That's right!" Zhang Dadan raised his head and smiled ferociously. "Since he's biased, I'll take it myself. Therefore, I used the opportunity to cook every day to mix a slow-acting poison in his food. In the end, when he lost his strength, I killed him alive!"
"Then why did the Icy Silkworm appear in this place in the end?" At this moment, the handsome young man brought up the main point.
Zhang Dadan choked and glanced at him, as if he was complaining about this guy always touching the sore spot. After a moment of silence, he continued, "Who knew that old fart would rather let the Icy Silkworm go than give it to me, the disciple he raised since he was young. Fortunately, the Icy Silkworm can't run too far. It took me a few years to finally find its traces. Speaking of which, you guys from small families shouldn't know about these rare creatures, right?"
At this point, Zhang Dadan looked at these guys with disdain who had risen from the bottom with dogshit luck.
