Han Sen's body burned the insects that were charging towards Wang Yu into ashes. Wang Yu struggled to stand up, but the injury to his leg was too severe. His combat ability had been greatly reduced.
Tiger Chen screamed, too. He clutched his face and fell to the ground. Han Sen used another flame to save him.
But Han Sen's power was limited, and he couldn't save so many people.
"Bao'er, take these bugs!"
Han Sen shouted to Bao'er, but Bao'er didn't move. She was still on Han Sen's back, looking in a direction as if she was looking for something.
Han Sen, seeing Bao'er not moving, was worried. He could escape, and he could kill his way out. But if things continued like this, Chen Hu and the others would die.
Even Lin Weiwei, who was wearing sacred-blood armor, had many cracks on it. She didn't know how long it would last.
Bao'er was still looking into the distance, as if she was in a daze. She didn't summon her gourd.
As Han Sen was worried, he suddenly heard a strange noise. It was like the sound of something exploding in the air. It shook them so much that they almost fell to the ground. The gold bugs also stopped moving.
Han Sen thought the howl was familiar, and he recalled that it was similar to a wolf's howl.
When they first entered the Ghost Mountain Range, they heard this howl, and the mysterious purple wolf retreated.
Han Sen suddenly remembered that it was after that howl that they were protected by so many creatures. Even super creatures treated Han Sen like family, and they gave Han Sen precious gifts. All of this happened after that howl.
Now that the howl was heard again, Han Sen didn't know what would happen next.
But to Han Sen's disappointment, after the howl, the golden bugs didn't retreat. They paused for a moment, and then came back towards them.
But in the next second, a silver light exploded in the sky. It was as if the entire sky was illuminated. The terrifying sound shook Lin Weiwei and the others to the ground.
Just as they were in despair, they saw that after the silver light exploded, it turned into silver lightning and fell from the sky like countless silver waterfalls crashing down from the sky.
The silver lightning struck the golden bugs and spread out like a spider web. Countless golden bugs were turned into nothingness by the silver lightning.
Lin Weiwei and the others were stunned. Aside from their small area, there was terrifying silver lightning everywhere, purifying all the Golden Worms. Not even a speck of dust was left.
No matter how many Golden Bugs charged into the sea of silver lightning, they were all the same. All of them were directly purified, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"No way..." Han Sen opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time. His mind was filled with an idea that he could not suppress. His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of surprise and disbelief.
Amidst the silver lightning, a small shadow appeared in the direction Bao'er was looking. That shadow was very bright under the light of the lightning. It slowly walked forward.
It turned out to be a small silver fox that was only slightly bigger than a cat. It walked step by step in the silver light with indescribable elegance, as if it was taking a stroll in a garden.
Many bolts of lightning came down, but none of them struck the creature. It was as if the lightning was opening a path for the creature to reach Han Sen.
"No way …" Han Sen was so excited that he couldn't speak properly. His eyes turned red.
Han Sen now understood why the wolf king had retreated, and why so many creatures had been so friendly to him.
It was all because someone had been protecting him from the shadows, allowing him to pass through the Ghost Tribulation Mountains safely.
"Little Silver!"
Han Sen couldn't help but yell. He strode towards the silver fox that was coming through the lightning. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. That was all he could manage to say.
The lightning cleared a path for Han Sen, and Han Sen ran up to the silver fox. He picked it up and kissed it on the forehead. Then, he held it tight and rubbed its head.
Little Silver looked helpless, and his usual elegance was gone. He stuck out his tongue and licked Han Sen's hand. Then, he rubbed his head against Han Sen's chest.
Bao 'er was on Han Sen's back. She squinted her eyes and looked at the silver fox with hostility. She wasn't happy that the silver fox had stolen Han Sen's attention.
The golden bug disappeared, and the lightning in the sky ceased. The silver fox glanced at Bao'er, who was perched on his shoulder. Their eyes met in the air, and sparks seemed to fly between them.
But it was only a glance, and the man and fox both turned their heads away, no longer looking at each other.
Han Sen didn't notice this, though. If he had, he would have been surprised. He wanted to throw the gourd away, but the silver fox had picked it up.
Now that the fox and the man had met, they didn't seem to like each other very much.
Han Sen was holding the silver fox, and he wished to say something. But then, he heard a loud noise. The ground cracked open, and a giant golden bug crawled out of it.
The golden bug looked very strange. Its lower body was that of a snake, and its upper body had many centipede-like claws. Its head was that of a scorpion, and its back had nine scorpion tails.
It looked strange and evil, and with its scary presence, it was like an evil god had just escaped from hell.
Amidst the golden light, the Golden Bug roared at the sky. A terrifying aura swept out like a shockwave. Chen Hu and the others, who were already injured, were thrown to the ground. They rolled far away before they could stabilize themselves. Their bodies were covered in dust.
After the roar, the scorpion tail on the back of the golden bug moved. It was aimed at Han Sen and the silver fox.
Boom!
Nine golden lights shot out from the stingers. They were like nine scary lasers, and they were headed straight for Han Sen. They were incredibly fast, and their power seemed to be able to pierce space itself.
The silver fox jumped out of Han Sen's arms and landed in front of Han Sen. Silver lightning gathered on its body, and it turned into a giant silver fox. Its four legs were strong, and it pointed at the sky.
Seeing the nine golden lights about to hit the lightning fox, the silver fox roared to the sky. A scary silver lightning came out of it.
