The insect demon laughed coldly, "Heh heh, enough with the nonsense! I'll warn you only once, hand over the Snow Crystal Silkworm, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, countless dark green beetles crawled out from under his black robe, swarming like a moving carpet, giving anyone watching a creepy feeling.

These beetles seemed to be a combination of scorpions and centipedes but were even more hideous and terrifying, with sharp claws and thick shells.

Each one was the size of a palm!

Especially on the back of these insects, there was a white pattern resembling a ghost face, exuding a sense of eeriness and emitting a strong putrid smell as if they had crawled out of a pile of corpses.

"

These insects are called corpse cockroaches, as the name implies, they are a type of exotic insect or Gu insect that feeds on carrion.

This type of Gu insect has a hard shell, and its claws contain deadly corpse poison, and these insects are incredibly resilient, liking dark and damp environments, often breeding only in places like the Chaotic Tomb Ridge or mass graves.

Ordinary corpse cockroaches are usually the size of fingernails, though toxic, but even ordinary people can handle them.

However, the corpse cockroaches before us are over a foot long, with claws like iron hooks and sharp mandibles, looking terrifying!

Evidently, these corpse cockroaches were specially cultivated by the insect demon, turning them into special Gu insects.

The swarm of corpse cockroaches rushed toward the two women like a tide, the girl in green was fine, coming from the Hundred Poison Mountain and skilled in Gu Technique, but she was still a bit tense.

The other woman in a pink gauze dress, with a graceful figure, was pale, her expression unsightly.

Not because she's timid, mainly because these insects are too disgusting, and the mass of corpse cockroaches swarming around, both the smell and the sight were extremely unsettling.

Yan Xiaoling's pretty face turned red with anger, she shouted, "You wish for the Snow Crystal Silkworm, keep dreaming!"

She then said to the woman in the gauze dress beside her, "Sister Yuefei, don't be afraid, let me handle this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a rooster as tall as a man was released, exuding an imposing aura, with feathers glowing red and golden, a comb crimson like blood, and claws and beak a sharp yellow.

The rooster soared up and perched on a large rock to the side, crowing loudly towards the east.

The crow resounded like it could tear through gold and stone, with a grand and masculine charm, echoing for hundreds of miles.

The sound spread, and the swarm of corpse cockroaches nearby froze, then burst one by one with a series of "pop, pop, pop" sounds, their viscous liquid splattering, incredibly revolting.

After crowing, the rooster's spirit was visibly drained, then flew to the side of the green-clad girl, was stroked on its feathers for comfort, and was retrieved into a Spirit Beast Bag.

Most of the corpse cockroach swarm had been driven away by this Spirit Rooster.

The remaining corpse cockroaches were all sluggish and half-dead.

"Hmm? This rooster is impressive..."

Gu Yuan's eyes gleamed.

With his vision, he could naturally tell that this rooster was also a Spirit Beast, even if it wasn't of the Golden Grade, it was definitely a Red Grade Spirit Pet.

As the saying goes, when the rooster crows, darkness retreats; the rooster is a bird filled with yang energy, crowing at dawn's first light.

Common roosters are like this, let alone such a Spirit Rooster, it's naturally a natural nemesis to corpse cockroaches and similar dark poisonous insects.

Moreover, it's also the bane of many Gu insects.

Clearly, this green-clad girl was rather thoughtful, not only adept in Gu Technique but also raised a Spirit Beast that could counteract Gu Technique.

Gu Yuan's gaze shifted, falling onto the woman in the gauze dress beside the green-clad girl, revealing a peculiar expression.

Speaking of which, he didn't know this woman, but he had been attracted here by her.

Because on this woman's body, Gu Yuan sensed a faint familiar aura.

This aura reminded Gu Yuan of an old acquaintance — the Peach Blossom Fairy Qin Hongxiao.

Earlier, when Gu Yuan was in Beiliang County, he had met Qin Hongxiao outside the city, and the two had gotten to know each other.

Thanks to his exquisite Spirit Pet taming technique, Gu Yuan got a Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg from her.

Later, as his cultivation level increased and through several interactions, Gu Yuan gradually learned of her identity and further understood her status.

This Peach Blossom Fairy was truly a formidable figure, not only an incredible Yang Spirit powerhouse, standing at the peak of the Cultivation Realm, but with a significant background.

Gu Yuan had benefited from her kindness multiple times, besides the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg, there was also the Taiyin Spirit and other guidance.

And that woman in the gauzy dress should be a disciple of Lankao Mountain, because her True Qi fluctuations were somewhat similar to the aura Qin Hongxiao exuded.

Qin Hongxiao had once mentioned having a Gu Dao master friend, now it seems more likely that it was the Celestial Silkworm Lady.

Both were Yang Spirit female cultivators, with comparable status and reputation, being friends wouldn't be surprising.

Since they were friends, it's natural for their disciples to have good relations as well.

Gu Yuan came here not just to watch the show, but to lend a hand.

After all, he had received several favors from Qin Hongxiao, watching someone die without helping wasn't his style.

Just as Gu Yuan was about to make a move, he saw the insect demon's face twisted with fury as he waved his sleeve, releasing thirteen iron-green centipedes.

These centipedes were large, each over ten feet long, looking fierce with sharp claws.

Additionally, they had a pair of wings and emitted black poisonous fog, as soon as they appeared, they pounced aggressively toward the two women.

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised, his gaze scanned the centipedes a few times.

These centipedes bore some resemblance to the Iron-backed Centipede Awu he had once raised, though with some differences in size and shape.

For example, these Iron-backed Centipedes had wings and could fly, whereas Awu, despite also being able to fly, had no wings whatsoever.

"Could it be that the Iron-backed Centipede mutated after special cultivation?"

Gu Yuan pondered the thought, his actions didn't stop, with a point of his finger, thirteen silver thin threads flew toward the centipedes.

Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling in the arena stood tensely.

Their cultivation levels were slightly lower than that of the insect demon, seeing the menacing Iron-backed Centipedes rushing at them, they each summoned a Magical Artifact, their expressions heavy.

The strength of these thirteen Iron-backed Centipedes was comparable to ordinary Celestial Human Realm cultivators, with all thirteen attacking at once, it was incredibly difficult for the two of them to resist.

However, at that moment, they saw thirteen extremely sharp threads fly in, entangling the thirteen Iron-backed Centipedes.

With a twist, the thirteen Iron-backed Centipedes were sliced to pieces by the silver threads!

The Iron-backed Centipedes were so named because of their hard back shells, comparable to Iron Mother, ordinary Magical Artifacts couldn't leave a scratch.

But in front of these silver threads, their shells were no tougher than tofu.
