After withdrawing his gaze from the sky, Cheng Xiaofan returned to the cave. The sky was completely dark.
At this moment, there was no wind on the Gobi Desert. The night was eerily silent, with only bone-chilling air rolling across the desert.
Lei Erde's side was also very quiet.
Presumably, the reclusive black people had also started to rest after enjoying the grilled crucian carp filled with spiritual energy.
"Master, are you resting yet?" At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan suddenly heard the voice of the Sky-Breaking Eagle from his sea of consciousness.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately activated his spiritual sense and communicated with the Sky-Breaking Eagle: "Sky-Breaking Eagle, I haven't rested. Is there anything going on on your end?"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle replied: "Master, everything is normal here."
"However, I seem to sense some movement outside the oasis. Master, do you feel it?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled: "I've already noticed it. It should be prehistoric zombie-like monsters sensing the spiritual energy of the impending oasis opening and about to emerge from underground."
The Sky-Breaking Eagle said: "Master, I'm trapped inside the oasis now and can't come out to help you. I'm truly sorry!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said: "Sky-Breaking Eagle, you don't need to worry about this. I already have a plan. Those monsters won't be able to harm us when they come out!"
"Alright, Master, I won't disturb your rest. See you in the oasis!" The Sky-Breaking Eagle said to Cheng Xiaofan at the end.
"Okay, see you in the oasis!"
Cheng Xiaofan withdrew his divine sense from the sea of consciousness and saw a dark figure standing outside the cave.
The dark figure bowed respectfully to Cheng Xiaofan and said, "Mr. Cheng, I apologize for disturbing you. You haven't rested yet, have you?"
So!
The dark figure was none other than Lei Erde!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan immediately frowned and said, "Lei Erde, I thought it was a ghost standing at the cave entrance. You can actually speak human language!"
Lei Erde's face was full of cracks of despair.
Did the Cheng family want him dead so badly?
He swallowed hard, forcing a smile, and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are such a humorous person. Listening to you talk can add years to my life!"
"..." This time it was Cheng Xiaofan's turn to be speechless.
This person's skin was truly thick!
He could still respond after I said something like that.
He truly lived up to his reputation as the head of the reclusive black people's sect; his composure was incredibly strong!
He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Lei Erde, it's so late, and you're not resting well. Why are you lurking around here like a wandering spirit? What's going on?"
Lei Erde said, "Cheng Xiaofan, I don't know what's going on. I've felt something is wrong all night. My heart is pounding, as if something unusual is about to happen."
"I couldn't fall asleep for a while, and after much hesitation, I specifically came to seek your advice!"
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and smiled faintly, pointing to the sky with his finger and saying, "Lei Erde, take a good look up at the sky!"
Lei Erde immediately looked up at the sky.
When he saw the giant, constantly rotating vortex, his face changed drastically.
He blurted out, "What a terrifying mass of energy! I've never seen such a strange celestial phenomenon!"
He withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at Cheng Xiaofan with a tense expression, saying, "Mr. Cheng, judging by this celestial phenomenon, something big is about to happen!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Lei Erde, look closely at the mass of energy in the air again!"
Lei Erde heard this and looked at the giant, constantly rotating vortex in the sky again.
As he looked, his pig-kidney-shaped face instantly turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, trickling down his face.
He wiped the cold sweat from his face and took a long, deep breath.
"Strange!"
Lei Erde's mouth twitched a few times. "Why do I seem to see the shadows of various monsters darting around within that rotating mass of energy?"
"It's too terrifying, truly too terrifying!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "In fact, this terrifying mass of energy is coming from the ground. I've already seen from it that below this sealed barrier, there is a group of zombie-like monsters. They have sensed the spiritual energy in the soon-to-be-opened oasis and are about to break through from underground."
"Once they emerge from below, it will be difficult for both of us to deal with them. The ferocity of these monsters is many times greater than that of desert wolves!"
"Lei Erde, to deal with these zombie beasts, you need to unleash the true strength of your reclusive black people!"
Lei Erde heard this and asked vigilantly, "Mr. Cheng, don't you wish for all of us reclusive black people to be wiped out? Why would you share this information with me?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Lei Erde, do you have any conscience? If I wished for you all to be wiped out, would I still be supplying you with crucian carp containing spiritual substances for free?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Erde's face fell. He said indignantly, "Mr. Cheng, when have you ever supplied me with crucian carp for free?"
"I exchanged it for three hundred billion US dollars!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed: "Lei Erde, do dead people still have value in three hundred billion US dollars?"
This conversation, going round and round, brought up the topic of death again!
Lei Erde felt that talking to this young Chinese farmer, even a living person would be infuriated to death.
He pouted and said, "Cheng Xiaofan, can you be a bit more serious!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Alright, seeing your serious demeanor, I'll say something serious to you!"
"The reason I'm willing to share intelligence with you is exactly as you said. We came here for a common goal. No matter what situation arises, we should share blessings and hardships, live and die together, advance and retreat together."
"..." Lei Erde was stunned by his words.
When did I ever say something like this to you?
Did I say it?
No!
Seeing his impassioned speech, he could only nod in agreement and say, "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Cheng, what you said struck a chord with me!"
Cheng Xiaofan grinned and said, "Exactly. In this world, besides me, no one understands you better than I do."
"To be honest, Lei Erde, even if you turned into a pile of ashes, I would still recognize you!"
"..." Lei Erde's face turned dark again.
You're just spewing venom from your mouth!
It seems like you can't live if you don't curse me to death!
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan took out a bottle of pills from his backpack and said, "Lei Erde, this is an energy pill I developed. Take it back with you."
"One thing I can tell you is that this energy pill can elevate the energy within your bodies to the highest level at critical moments. Its explosive power is absolutely not to be underestimated!"
Lei Erde took the bottle of energy pills from Cheng Xiaofan and asked with doubt, "Cheng Xiaofan, are you telling the truth?"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "What time is it now? Would I lie to you?"
