Rellard was so angry upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words that he felt like spitting blood.
Just then, shouts echoed from afar: "Everyone, look quickly! The leader of our hidden black people is surrounded by desert wolves! Hurry!"
Following the sound, a large group of people in black robes was rushing over.
Seeing his own forces arriving, Rellard exclaimed in surprise, "Quick, everyone come here and eliminate these desert wolves!"
As he spoke!
Three more powerful figures were knocked to the ground by the desert wolves.
A desert wolf had just placed its front paws on Rellard's shoulders when he counterattacked with a knife, killing it on the spot.
Despite this, Rellard's shoulders were still clawed, leaving several bloody marks. The piercing pain contorted his features.
Some of the surviving hidden black powerful figures were covered in injuries, their clothes soaked with blood and caked with yellow sand, making them look like neither human nor ghost.
They were as miserable as one could be!
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan noticed a problem.
Relatively speaking, these hidden black powerful figures were all skilled individuals, each a ruthless and formidable character.
Under normal circumstances, even the fiercest desert wolves would not be a match for them.
Yet, the speed of these desert wolves was beyond human imagination.
Cheng Xiaofan soon discovered that the ferocity and dominance of these desert wolves were related to the desert sealed by a barrier.
Due to their prolonged activity in this area, they had absorbed a certain aura from the barrier, causing their genes to mutate.
These desert wolves dared not approach Cheng Xiaofan due to the Demonic Bone Blade in his hand and the dragon aura emanating from him.
The Demonic Bone Blade suppressed demons and evil, and dragon aura was a power that all sorts of beasts feared.
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Xiaofan became a true idler, content to watch from the sidelines as the hidden black powerful figures battled the desert wolves to the death.
After all, none of these individuals were good people!
Being fed to the desert wolves would be a fitting end!
If it were any ordinary person, Cheng Xiaofan would only need to step forward, raise the Demonic Bone Blade, and let out an angry roar, and the desert wolves would surely flee in terror.
Boom!
Just then, over a thousand disciples of the hidden black people swarmed in.
For a moment, humans and wolves were locked in a chaotic mêlée.
Wolf howls and human cries blended into a cacophony.
Due to the sheer numbers, the desert wolves were quickly put at a disadvantage, with more wolf corpses on the ground than human ones.
"Roar—"
A strange, eerie cry came from afar, approaching rapidly.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately turned his head to look.
He saw another group of people approaching from a distance.
When he got a clear look at them, his expression changed drastically.
These individuals were over a zhang tall, with long, golden hair flying behind them. They were bare-chested, exuding an aura of immense ferocity, and moved like the wind.
This reminded Cheng Xiaofan of the gene-enhanced human he had encountered on Nameless Island in the East Sea when he first returned from the Land of Sakura.
Damn it!
How could so many gene-enhanced humans suddenly appear in the heart of this desert?
"Hahaha, excellent!"
At this moment, Rellard, upon seeing the gene-enhanced humans, became so excited he seemed to be going mad. He shouted with wild laughter, "Our developed mutants are here!"
"Desert wolves, all of you die!"
"On this Gobi Desert, no animal or human can stop the advance of our hidden black people towards Earth's prehistoric oasis!"
He turned to Cheng Xiaofan and chuckled triumphantly, "Cheng Xiaofan, have you had enough of watching the show?"
"Let me tell you, victory always belongs to us hidden black people. As long as you cooperate with us and find the gate to the oasis, if I have a change of heart, I'll spare your life."
"Oh, and I mentioned before, if you wholeheartedly work for us hidden black people, I'll promote you to my assistant!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "Rellard, don't get too smug too soon. In the heart of this desert sealed by the barrier, strange events are likely to be endless."
"Do you think your gene-enhanced humans can dominate here?"
Buzz buzz buzz…
At this moment, the sound of helicopters rumbled from the sky.
Cheng Xiaofan and the others looked up, seeing dozens of helicopters flying over.
About ten meters above the ground, nearly a hundred fully armed personnel jumped out, intercepting the gene-enhanced humans and engaging them in battle.
One of the individuals ran towards Cheng Xiaofan.
"Mr. Cheng, are you alright?" the man, who appeared to be in his thirties and was powerfully built, greeted Cheng Xiaofan with a special military salute.
Cheng Xiaofan recognized him at a glance.
He had seen him before at the execution office of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office.
He had accompanied his mentor, Zhang Heng, from the capital.
"You are Zhou Zhizheng, aren't you?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Zhou Zhizheng immediately replied, "Responding to Mr. Cheng, I am indeed Zhou Zhizheng. I am here on behalf of Minister Zhang Heng to assist you in dealing with the hidden black people!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan finally understood.
The group led by Rellard had already alerted the Jianghu Affairs Bureau when they occupied the island in the central lake of Fuzhou City.
It seemed that Zhang Heng had already learned about the possible existence of a passage to Earth's prehistoric oasis in the heart of this desert.
Last time, Zhang Heng had requested medicinal pills from Cheng Xiaofan through Lu Shengming to enhance the burst power of a group of special warriors from the Jianghu Affairs Bureau to fight against the gene-enhanced humans invading China's borders. It appeared they had already understood the connection between these gene-enhanced humans and the hidden black people at that time.
Clearly, Cheng Xiaofan's arrival at the headquarters of the hidden black people in Fuzhou and his awakening of the demonic beasts were also known to Zhang Heng.
"As expected of my mentor, he knows my every move like the back of his hand!" Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh in front of Zhou Zhizheng.
"Roar!"
"Ah!"
The special warriors and the gene-enhanced humans clashed, with casualties on both sides.
The previously frenzied gene-enhanced humans were held back and prevented from converging with Rellard's hidden black disciples.
"Chao!"
Rellard's expression changed. "I didn't expect the special warriors of the Huaxia Jianghu Affairs Bureau to be able to kill my gene-enhanced humans. Are they trying to defy heaven?"
"Roar—Roar…"
He immediately took out a carved ram's horn from his person and blew a very eerie tune towards the gene-enhanced humans.
"Roar, roar…"
When the gene-enhanced humans heard this tune, they became frenzied, as if injected with adrenaline, and shouted wildly.
Their eyes flashed with a green light, and they lunged at the special warriors.
In an instant, more than ten special warriors lay dead on the ground, their bodies bloody and mangled.
"Hahaha…"
Rellard laughed triumphantly, "Mutants, show your full strength and destroy these special warriors for me. You are the most powerful!"
Just as he raised his ram's horn to blow again, a flash of light streaked across, and his hand was severed from his wrist and fell to the ground.
"Ah—"
Rellard let out a scream of pain.
