"Hmph, what do you mean?"
Guo Hai smiled coldly. "Shouldn't I be asking you that!"
"We agreed beforehand that the Arcane Origin Stones unearthed in this area belong to us. You brought so many people this time, and you're barging in like this?"
After speaking, Guo Hai glanced at the bald gang members and others not far away.
"Release our people, and all the Arcane Origin Stones unearthed in this super sandstorm area will be yours. We didn't come for that!"
Blood Skull frowned and said to Guo Hai.
Hearing this, Guo Hai narrowed his eyes. "The Arcane Origin Stones unearthed this time are much more than usual. Are you willing to give them up?"
"Of course! Release my subordinates quickly!"
"We'll leave here in a moment!"
Blood Skull suppressed the anger in his heart. If it were anyone else, he would have torn them apart.
But facing Guo Hai, an Arcane Energy cultivator who could create so many water prisons in the sand dunes, if they truly fell out, he wasn't confident he could win quickly, especially with a group of Arcane Energy cultivators from Ocean Paradise by Guo Hai's side.
Moreover, his objective in the super sandstorm area did not allow him to waste time or energy here...
Guo Hai's brows furrowed tightly. He looked in the direction of the Hummer carrying Ye Feng and his group, pondered for a moment, and formed another hand seal.
"Splash, splash~"
Several splashing sounds were heard. The water prisons were removed, and the trapped cadres of the Skull Society, who could not breathe properly in the water, all reverted to human form and gasped for air.
Seeing this, Liu Lei and Huang Mu also removed the things they had made with Arcane Energy, which resembled water prisons!
"Pack up and prepare to enter the super sandstorm area!"
After saying this, Blood Skull quickly walked towards the bald gang's camp not far away.
"Old Guo, Leader Xue is in that Hummer. These guys seem to be targeting the Hummer... Should we..."
Liu Lei and Huang Mu approached Guo Hai, frowning.
"No need. Boss probably has his own considerations. We've already held off so many experts from the Skull Society, which should be enough for Boss to get away!"
"Besides, the Skull Society and the Bald Gang seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. We don't have many people here, and Boss isn't present. If a real fight breaks out, the situation will be extremely disadvantageous for us!"
Guo Hai glanced at the large numbers of Bald Gang and Skull Society members resting, and shook his head slightly.
...
"Yo yo yo, is this the Blood Skull, the creator of the Crazy Hundred Kill record? Why are you acting so cowardly!"
"Why not just change your name to Coward Skull, the 'coward' in 'cowardly egg'!"
As soon as Blood Skull reached the front of the Bald Gang's camp, their leader, Su Shu, began to mock him.
"Hiss!~"
"Hiss hiss!~"
...
As soon as Su Shu finished speaking, a group of mid to high-level cadres from the Bald Gang let out hisses.
Blood Skull said nothing. His expression turned cold, and his entire head instantly glowed red. His eyeballs disappeared, replaced by dark voids, causing the Bald Gang members to look serious.
"Blood Skull, you're here to cause trouble!"
Su Shu frowned, stood up, his muscles bulged, and killing intent surged from him.
"Su Shu, tell your men to leave. I have something to tell you!"
Blood Skull snorted coldly, the red light on his head disappeared, and his eyes returned.
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Blood Skull's hand, and a palm-sized token appeared.
The token had peculiar runes on its surface and was blood-red all over, unnaturally so. Under the sunlight, a red halo flowed, as if it were flowing blood!
"That's! How do you have that..."
Seeing the blood-red token in Blood Skull's hand, Su Shu's expression changed drastically.
...
At the same time,
Inside the super sandstorm,
"Sizzle sizzle~"
"Rumble, rumble, crackle~"
Besides the exceptionally fierce wind and sand, there were also lightning bolts that occasionally tore through the sky and deafening thunder.
"Damn, this radiation is off the charts!"
Looking at the Geiger counter on his lap, Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly, as the needle on the Geiger counter had gone beyond the scale...
As the Hummer advanced, there were no signs of pursuers behind them. Jiang Si Shan removed the wind vortex created with Arcane Energy and instead took out various heavy objects to act as ballast, stabilizing the Hummer.
Because of this, the inside of the Hummer became very crowded. The front and back seats were almost completely separated, and the speed slowed down considerably.
Without the protection of the "wind vortex," large amounts of sand were blown directly onto the Hummer by the strong winds, making harsh scraping and slapping sounds.
The Hummer's hard metal body was scratched by the sand and wind, leaving countless dense marks. The bulletproof glass also began to blur...
"Big brother, there's someone over there!"
"Someone is walking in the big sandstorm!"
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao, who was in the passenger seat, said to Ye Feng with surprise.
"Someone? Walking in this super sandstorm?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng looked in the direction Xiao Xiao pointed with some doubt. Amidst the howling sandstorm, a figure could indeed be vaguely seen, and... it felt somewhat familiar to Ye Feng.
"It's her!"
After staring for a while, Ye Feng couldn't help but be surprised.
Because he had seen this figure not long ago – the mysterious woman he had met in the City of Ice.
At this moment, she was slowly walking in the boundless and violent sea of sand. The sand, which could leave scratches on the Hummer's metal body, seemed to be nothing to her.
The woman walked forward unhurriedly, as if she were strolling in a garden.
"Why is she here too... Wait..."
Ye Feng, who was muttering, suddenly changed his expression.
Because he noticed that every casual step the woman took, she covered a long distance, leaving behind afterimages!
In a short while, she disappeared from Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao's sight!
"There are still terrifying powerful beings in this world!"
Looking at the continuously howling sandstorm outside the window, Ye Feng felt a sense of emotion.
...
Outside the super sandstorm area,
On top of a large sand dune,
Su Shu and Blood Skull stood side by side, both looking at the super sandstorm area in the distance that was blocking out the sky.
"I didn't expect you to be that risky piece, a cold pawn!"
Blood Skull looked at Su Shu beside him with some surprise.
"I also didn't expect you, this person of unknown origin, to be from the Brad Base!"
"And to possess something like the Blood Oath Token!"
Su Shu's words were also full of surprise, as he had never thought in that direction before.
When the people from the Brad Base asked him to come here to find the legendary Netherworld Divine Tablet, it was a very secretive matter...
"Let's go. Once we find the Netherworld Divine Tablet, we can leave this godforsaken place!"
Blood Skull narrowed his eyes and walked towards the Skull Society's camp.
