"This blood-scale armor is mine, okay? Now we are even . " Queen frowned, looking back at the island . There was no more screaming or squealing to be heard, and with the rest of the creatures having either escaped or been killed, the island was quiet .

It still looked like hell, though . Bodies and blood were everywhere, and just looking at it made their skin crawl .

"Do you think you might be able to take down those wasps?" Queen asked Han Sen .

Han Sen knew what she meant, but he shook his head and told her, "My speed is still a little too slow to go up against those wasps . I may know its weak spot, but what's the point if I cannot hit it? Besides . . . "

"Besides what?" Queen looked at Han Sen .

"There is no guarantee I can kill it, even if I hit there . For all I know, I might only inflict a minor amount of damage . " Han Sen did not overestimate his talents .

When he fought Golden Growler, he couldn't even break its eyes . The wasp's waist may have been its weak spot, but it couldn't be weaker than those eyes .

A weak spot was just a place on a monster that was weaker . But the overall fitness of a super creature was just too high, and so the fact that it had a weak spot didn't mean much for Han Sen .

Queen sighed . She understood how he was feeling . There were eighteen of those wasps, and they had a lot of trouble escaping just one . It would be impossible to survive an encounter with any more, not to mention if all eighteen came after them .

Few people could dodge their attacks like Han Sen had . Even Queen wasn't entirely sure whether or not she'd be able to keep up and evade such quick attacks .

The island was dead . They watched it for a while but knew that there was no hope of returning there . They readied themselves to leave and take to the seas on the whale again .

But then the silver fox jumped out of Han Sen's arms . It became a silver light and ran back to the island .

"Silver fox?! What are you doing?" Han Sen was startled . It hadn't been easy to escape the island, so why was the fox now deciding to return?

"Stop! The eighteen wasps must be together by now . If we get in trouble with all of them, we'll never make it out again," Queen said .

"You wait here . I'll go back and get him . "

Han Sen rushed back ashore without hesitation . He wasn't planning to risk his life for the silver fox, but he understood the silver fox well . He knew that it wouldn't want to risk its own life, either .

Otherwise, when Han Sen was battling the wasps, the silver fox wouldn't have jumped into his arms to escape . It wouldn't have waited this long to come back, if it had no regard for its life . Something must have changed on the island, then .

Han Sen chased after the silver fox, and noticed he was being led back to the lotus . Still, he did not hesitate and quickly continued his pursuit .

Han Sen, using his senses, noticed there were no longer any wasps on the island .

"Did those wasps leave the island?" Han Sen asked himself, looking puzzled .

But Han Sen was still curious . If the wasps had left the island, then that meant the lotus plant was nothing special, and it had just been used to host a number of wasp eggs . If there was nothing extraordinary about the plant, why were they returning?

"Is there something the silver fox wants from the body of a deceased creature?" Han Sen wondered, having now reached the lotus hill with the silver fox .

The scenery was marred with great horrors . Uncaring for the bodies that littered the once-fertile green, Han Sen hastily climbed up to the lotus .

Perhaps it was because of the strength of their toxins, but after the wasps were born, the seven remaining lotus petals had wilted . All that remained was a sole lotus cup .

Without a moment's pause, the silver fox ran up to it and munched it all down in one bite .

The crystal-clear lotus cup was chewed to pieces by the fox .

"Save me some! Save me some!" Han Sen grabbed the silver fox as he tried to pry open its mouth . Alas, the silver fox had already swallowed it all .

"Damn it, you mutt . You are too cruel . I just saved your life earlier! You little selfish bastard, you didn't even save me a bite!" Han Sen yelled at the silver fox .

The silver fox, however, ignored its master . Elegantly, it sniffed around on the ground, and after a while of doing so, began digging into the rocky ground with its two front paws .

The rock surface was like tofu under the power of its paws and claws, and it wasn't long before it had managed to dig a two-meter-deep hole .

"Is there something down there?" Han Sen quelled his rage, and his eyes lit up with inquisitiveness . He saw that there was something connected with the stalk of the lotus plant . As the silver fox continued to dig, Han Sen noticed the unearthing of something white in color .

"Whatever it is, you've done your bit . You've earned yourself a rest; let me take over . " Han Sen quickly jumped into the hole and placed the silver fox on his shoulder . He rabidly started digging with his own two hands .

He was afraid the silver fox would dig out some more food and gobble it all up without giving him a chance to even look at it . He didn't want a repeat of what had just happened .

Han Sen did not dig for long because he had soon excavated three lotus roots . They were like the arms of a baby, and they were each about a dozen centimeters long .

Although they were underground, they still shone like white crystals . It was as if they were made from virgin snow . They smelled very good, too .

Han Sen picked up the three lotus roots to take a closer look, but before he could, the silver fox on his shoulder jumped down and grabbed one of the three . Immediately, it began to ravenously chew the root .

"How could I forget about this guy? This thing is a sneaky manipulator . I really do keep forgetting . " Han Sen's heart was bleeding . He didn't even know what treasure he had unearthed, and a third of it was already munched on by the silver fox .

"What's left is mine . You've already had your fill . " Seeing the silver fox stare at the lotus roots intently, Han Sen clutched the remaining two tightly .

The silver fox went near Han Sen's foot and began rubbing its head against him .

"Don't even bother trying to act cute . This thing is mine; end of story . " Han Sen quickly put away the lotus roots and picked the silver fox back up .

Queen had now come ashore and was nearing the hill . Han Sen quickly ran back down to meet her, with the silver fox in hand . He didn't want her to learn anything about what he had just found .

"I don't know where the wasps went, but it looks like they have all gone," Han Sen said, as he stood in front of Queen .

"What did it find?" Queen asked, seeing right through Han Sen's deception .

"It was the lotus cup . But, by the time I caught up to the fiend, it had already eaten everything . He didn't save me any, so I have no idea what benefits it could have provided us . His selfishness hurts!" Han Sen hoped to squeeze out a few tears, but he couldn't .

Queen's eyes were untrusting, but she didn't voice her concern . Shortly after, they returned to the oceanside .

The two people and the fox began their journey once more . They hoped they'd soon be able to find land but after another five days travel, they had yet to see anything . There weren't even any islands around .

Suddenly, a strange sound could be heard in the distance . Han Sen and Queen were familiar with the sound, and so their faces changed .
