With the ice glass and the metal wall confining them, they could only sense King Regor’s presence and not the presence of the four individuals that are watching through the ice glass door.It is the reason why the soldiers would not care much about the existence of the ice worm prison cells, because aside from sleeping all year round, the ice worms could only stay in the underground and could not touch any heat that comes from the sun or a fire. They desire for a source of warmth, but their bodies would whither the moment they felt the heat coming from any kinds of fire.This is the reason why the ice worms could only look for the warmth of the human body, and burro
