The Dragon Saliva Ganoderma Lucidum and the blood fruit Bao'er had eaten were the most valuable gifts. The rest were from sacred-blood creatures, and they were nothing compared to the gifts from the super creatures.
Just as they were about to leave Ghost Mountain, they ran into another super creature. It was a giant ape, and it gave Han Sen a small jade wineglass.
Han Sen thought the wineglass was a geno treasure. It didn't look like it had been crafted by a human. He studied it for a while, but he couldn't figure out what it did.
The giant ape grabbed each of them and placed them on its shoulders. Then, it started to run. After running for four days and four nights, they didn't know how far they had traveled. Eventually, they saw that there were no more mountains ahead of them. Instead, they saw a green grassland. There were horse-like beasts grazing in the distance.
"We're out of Ghost Mountain!" Everyone was overjoyed.
The giant ape put them down and roared at Han Sen. Then, it turned around and returned to Ghost Mountain.
Everyone, including Han Sen, felt as if they were in a dream when they looked at Ghost Mountain. It didn't feel like they were in a dream.
What they had gone through in Ghost Mountain was incredible, and even Han Sen thought the same.
"Argh!"
While everyone was in shock, they heard a scream. Liu Yuxuan, who had been tied up, was writhing on the ground.
Strange wounds appeared on his body, as if someone was using a knife to cut his body. Soon, his body was dripping with blood. However, there was no one around him. It was as if an invisible demon was going to cut him thousands of times. It was a chilling sight.
Liu Yuxuan's screams were getting louder and louder, and soon, he was no longer a human. His flesh was being cut off, and his bones were revealed.
But these wounds weren't fatal. Liu Yuxuan didn't die, no matter how many slashes he took.
"Kill me … Kill me … Please … Kill me … I was wrong in the past … I am a beast … I want Weiwei … I want to hurt you … Please kill me …" Liu Yuxuan's face was distorted and his body was soaked with his own blood. Previously, he had wanted to live, but now, he only wanted to die. The punishment of a thousand cuts was not something a human being could bear.
Everyone knew what had happened. The spirit that had signed a contract with Liu Yuxuan must have found out he had left Ghost Mountain, and that was why it was torturing him.
Han Sen frowned, as Lin He plunged his sword into Liu Yuxuan's heart and ended his life. Liu Yuxuan's eyes opened wide, and he looked as if he had been freed. He fell to the ground, dead.
"Death is the end of everything. He is of the same race, so just give him a quick death," Lin He said to Han Sen.
Han Sen nodded. He didn't plan on torturing Liu Yuxuan, as he had already died a horrible death.
Seeing Liu Yuxuan's death, Chen Hu and the others were both shocked and relieved. It was fortunate they had followed Han Sen across Ghost Mountain and not surrendered to the spirits. If they had, they would have ended up just like Liu Yuxuan.
Han Sen burned Liu Yuxuan's body to ashes, saving him from the fate of being eaten by the creatures.
They didn't know where to go, though. There was a grassy field in front of them, and they couldn't see the end of it.
The horse-like creatures seemed to be afraid of strangers, and they ran away when they saw them. After walking for a few dozen miles, they still couldn't see the end of the grassy field.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from all around. A golden light flowed over from afar. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a sky full of golden insects flying over. Each of them was the size of a fist, and their entire body was golden, as if they were made of gold.
There were so many Golden Bugs that they quickly covered the sky like a canopy. Between heaven and earth, a golden light flickered, dazzling everyone's eyes.
"Another gift from a creature. I wonder what it will be this time." Chen Hu looked at the golden bugs with excitement.
Although he wasn't the one receiving the gift, Chen Hu was still very excited.
Han Sen's face changed, and he said, "Oh, no! These guys aren't here to deliver gifts. Be careful, everyone!"
"No way!" Chen Hu couldn't believe it.
But the gold bugs were already flying out. They were like a storm, and they were going to bite Han Sen and the others.
Everyone's faces changed, and they all opened their gene locks to summon their beast souls.
Han Sen's body was covered in a red fire. He turned into a red firebird and incinerated many of the gold bugs.
But there was something strange about the gold bugs. When Han Sen's Undying Phoenix burned them to death, it didn't create new Undying Phoenix flames.
And when Han Sen burned them, he didn't hear the announcement that he had killed them.
The scariest thing was that his dongxuan aura couldn't make the bugs lose their way. They were all running towards him.
Lin He and the others' faces changed, and they tried their best to kill the bugs. But there were too many of them.
It was impossible for them to kill all of them. If they were not careful, the bugs would fly to their bodies. When the bugs opened their mouths and bit down, even the mutant grade armor could not withstand it. The bugs would bite through both the armor and flesh, tearing off a piece of flesh.
Chen Hu and the others screamed in agony. A few of them had been bitten by the golden bugs, and they were bleeding profusely.
Han Sen tried his best to cast his Undying Flame, but he couldn't protect everyone. They were all in a tough fight.
Han Sen gave the Armored Turtle beast soul to Lin Weiwei and said, "Sister Weiwei, put on this armor."
The turtle was a sacred-blood class armor beast soul, and when Lin Weiwei put it on, she felt much safer. The gold bugs were unable to bite through the armor, and they only left bite marks on the surface of the armor.
But that didn't solve the problem. The golden bugs were coming towards them like a sandstorm. Han Sen used his dongxuan aura, and as far as he could see, the bugs were everywhere. He didn't know how to escape.
Argh!
Chen Hu and the others screamed louder and louder, and some of them couldn't hold on any longer. Wang Yu's leg was bitten by a few of the golden bugs, and within a few seconds, his bones were exposed. He couldn't stand straight, and he fell to the ground.
In an instant, a large swarm of bugs swarmed towards Wang Yu, who was lying on the ground. It would only take a few seconds for them to devour him to the point that not even his bones would be left.
