Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

In a dimly lit, chaotic corner of an underground bar, Audi was drinking alone, never expecting that Alpha, who had been arrested by the police earlier, would reappear before him.

The moment Audi's gaze met Alfa's, his pupils contracted sharply, and a storm raged within him. His immediate thought was that Alfa had already submitted to the court, and that his appearance was clearly aimed at capturing him.

Audi calmed himself down and carefully surveyed his surroundings, scanning every dark corner, but found no one lying in ambush.

In a flash, he realized that this must have been the work of that mysterious gentleman.

"Let's set off back to the desert manor. The mysterious gentleman has replied."

Audi swallowed the dry, hard bread in his mouth, tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of cold water, then got up and walked outside without saying a word.

Alpha, once a high-ranking leader, is now left to follow in the footsteps of its nephew.

Alpha was completely dazed, never expecting to walk out of the prison unscathed. The person who released him gave him a succinct instruction: go find Audi immediately after you leave.

Only after regaining his freedom and leaving the police station did he learn that the gang he had painstakingly built had long since vanished and was being suppressed by the Dubai government.

Upon learning that he was to seek refuge with Audi, Alfa resisted from the bottom of his heart, but he had no choice but to comply. If he did not comply, he would be sent back to prison.

Fortunately, Audi was indeed hiding in this safe house and had not yet left the country.

Audi certainly wanted to leave the country as soon as possible. If he had followed Henry's example and left overnight as soon as trouble started, he might have had a chance to escape unscathed.

"Which way do we go?"

Alpha hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the deserted streets outside, before he asked in a low voice.

He barely escaped from the police station, his future uncertain and filled with anxiety and unease.

"Back to the desert manor."

Audi did not hesitate at all in response to Su Yuyang's arrangements.

Even though some doubts remained in his heart, from the moment he saw Alpha appear safely, he completely realized that the power wielded by that mysterious man had far exceeded his imagination.

"Desert Manor? Wasn't that place razed to the ground?"

Alpha had been there before and knew perfectly well that the manor had long since turned into ruins, so he was immediately surprised to hear this.

"What are you all standing there for? Let's go!"

Seeing Alfa hesitate and dawdle, Audi didn't bother to say anything more and strode straight out of the room.

Now that Alfa has successfully escaped, Audi is certain that the Dubai government has completely given up on investigating and capturing him.

As expected, Audi stepped out of the dark and gloomy alley and was completely exposed to the bright sunlight.

He took several deep breaths of fresh air and looked around at the calm surroundings. No one had come forward to stop or question him from beginning to end.

Audi turned his head and looked over, only to see Alfa, with a cold expression, walking quickly behind him.

"Don't overthink it. There's no use dwelling on it. Right now, the only thing we can do is obediently follow instructions."

Audi strode to the car parked on the side of the street, casually pulled out a few US dollars and handed them over. Before the driver could answer, he opened the car door and got in.

Alfa followed closely behind, silently bowing and bending down before getting into the car as well.

The driver quickly drove away according to the address given by the Audi. As soon as the car entered the bustling main street, a black sedan silently followed closely from behind.

"There are people following us."

Alfa glanced in the rearview mirror and immediately noticed the black sedan that was relentlessly pursuing him.

Audi remained calm, closed his eyes slightly, and spoke softly.

"Don't panic. The fact that you got out of the police station safely says it all."

"If we go with them and something happens, we won't be held responsible."

After saying this, Audi fell silent. He was exhausted from hiding for days, so he simply closed his eyes, leaned back in his seat, and fell into a deep sleep.

Inside the black sedan following closely behind, Ankebo's face was extremely gloomy, and he was filled with frustration.

His operation accomplished only one thing: he went to great lengths to bail Alfa out of the Dubai security service.

The entire ship of munitions is still stuck in the naval port. Everything was progressing smoothly, and only the last step was needed to complete the process. The release order had been issued, and the cargo was about to leave the port.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Ibuprofen suddenly intervened, seizing the ship and preventing it from leaving port, insisting on thoroughly inspecting the cargo. This instantly put him in a dilemma, leaving him helpless.

Ankebo was filled with anxiety and fear, but he couldn't get in touch with the mysterious person in charge. In desperation, he could only follow Audi, hoping to find him.

The two cars sped along, one after the other, and soon drove out of downtown Dubai, heading straight south into the vast desert heartland.

The car sped along the coastal highway for over an hour. Ankebo glanced around and saw a desolate, ruined area. He vaguely remembered this place; he had heard Fenster mention it before, saying it used to be a gang stronghold.

Audi and Alfa got out of their cars and walked forward. Anker immediately told the driver to stay put, and then quietly got out of his car and followed the two at a distance.

They followed silently for over thirty miles, traversing barren beaches and rocky terrain, their nerves taut and unable to relax. By the time they stopped, their legs were numb and stiff, almost devoid of feeling.

Everywhere he looked, there were broken bricks, tiles, and ruins. Ankebo struggled through the dilapidated ruins, finally spotting a figure ahead.

The Audi and Alfa stopped in front of a dilapidated wall and bowed respectfully towards the shadows.

Ankebo was suddenly overjoyed and instinctively wanted to rush forward, but the terrifying experience at sea last night instantly flooded his mind, and the joy vanished in an instant, leaving him only with trepidation and panic.

He stood frozen in place, caught between a rock and a hard place, afraid that a hasty move would disturb the mysterious figure. For a moment, he was at a loss as to how to make his appearance.

He stood frozen in place, hesitant, leaning forward slightly as if to step forward, but then hurriedly retreating.

After hesitating several times, he would take half a step forward and then retreat half a step in a panic, feeling uneasy as he moved forward and backward, and he dared not approach rashly.

Amidst the deep shadows of the broken walls and ruins, Su Yuyang stood tall and serene.

Looking at the devastation around him, he was filled with sorrow. He never expected that in just a few days, this magnificent desert manor would be reduced to a scene of utter ruin.

"teacher!"

Audi gazed at that tall, straight figure, his voice trembling with barely concealed excitement, his eyes brimming with almost fanatical reverence, and his tone filled with heartfelt awe.

Alpha, standing to the side, was filled with shock and doubt. He never expected that the person who had pulled him out of Dubai's security was such a young man.

He already knew in his heart that the person who had been following him was acting on this man's orders to rescue him.

Su Yuyang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the rolling yellow sand in the distance. He pondered silently, feeling a sense of helplessness and lamenting that his subordinates were truly a handful.

Such a powerful force has so easily fallen into the eyes of the Dubai authorities, completely exposing its activities.

Su Yuyang frowned slightly, pondering to himself that the situation was already out of control and he wondered how to proceed.

Su Yuyang did not turn around for a long time, and the atmosphere around him became increasingly cold and heavy.

Audi was terrified. He suddenly knelt down, buried his head, and his voice trembled.

"Sir, it is my negligence that has caused this disaster. I beg your forgiveness. I swear to atone for my sins and never again will I fail in your important business!"

Now he has long since lost everything, possessing nothing but his own life.

If this mysterious benefactor refuses to lend a helping hand and take him in for protection, he fears he will not survive the night and will never see the sunrise tomorrow.

Audi's kneeling caused the atmosphere to suddenly become solemn. Alfa, standing to the side, was stunned and stood frozen in place, completely at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, Audi secretly reached out and gently tugged at him, and Alfa suddenly came to his senses. Without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly bent down and knelt down on the ground, just like Audi.

A deep voice slowly came from the phone, which was suspended in mid-air: "That batch of goods, Ankerbo still hasn't delivered it to you?"

Su Yuyang was completely uncertain at this moment. He was not sure whether Ankebo had successfully handed over the weapons to Audi, nor was he sure how many available people Audi had left, or whether they could reliably take over this heavy shipment.

"goods?"

Alpha was completely confused and looked utterly bewildered.

Audi, standing to the side, was shocked and his whole body tensed up.

He never expected that this mysterious figure would have such extraordinary abilities to make the military obediently return the weapons they had already seized.

Only at this moment did he truly realize that the opponent's hidden strength was already terrifyingly unfathomable.

Hearing the confusion in Audi's voice, Su Yuyang's expression instantly darkened.

He had already noticed Ankebo secretly following him, and knew that this man had come here to make all sorts of excuses and prevaricate the reasons why he had been reluctant to hand over the entire ship of munitions.

With a slight thought, Su Yuyang unleashed an invisible and immense surge of mental power.

Ankebo, who was dodging and weaving 500 meters away and caught in a dilemma, suddenly felt an irresistible force wrap around him. He was pulled uncontrollably into the air and dragged straight to the front.

The 500-meter journey was covered in the blink of an eye, and it was traversed in just a few breaths.

Ankebo was terrified and instinctively opened his mouth to call for help, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound. He was completely imprisoned by an invisible force.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air, staggered, and fell heavily to the ground. The sudden scene caused Audi and Alfa's pupils to shrink, their faces filled with disbelief and horror.

Su Yuyang remained standing with his hands behind his back, never turning around, exuding a chilling and intimidating killing intent.

"Ankpo, you haven't done what I asked you to do yet."

Staring at the phone that was silently floating in mid-air and listening to the cold words coming from it, Ankebo felt a chill run down his spine.

The terrifying feeling of despair and helplessness I experienced in the deep sea last night instantly swept over me again.

"Sir, spare me! Please, sir, spare me!"

Ankebo was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground to beg for mercy, his tone flustered and fearful.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to do things, it's just that someone is obstructing me in every way possible, I... I really have no choice..."

He was speechless, flustered and incoherent, unable to utter a complete reason for a long time.

At that moment, an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped him, pressing him hard against the ground.

Ankebo was filled with fear and tried to struggle, but his whole body was as if it were bound, and he could not exert any strength or even move an inch.

He could only stare wide-eyed as his body plummeted uncontrollably downwards, crashing straight into the sharp, jagged rocks on the ground, his heart filled with despair.

With a dull thud, Ankebo's forehead slammed hard against the sharp pebbles, a horrifying sight.

Audi and Alfa froze, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief at the brutal scene before them.

Ankebo was terrified, his heart trembling violently.

He had already experienced such terrifying methods last night. Just now, in that instant, he felt as if his head was about to be pierced by sharp pebbles, and the chill of death instantly permeated his entire body.

Warm blood gushed down his forehead, staining his eyebrows and eyes red, but thankfully his life was still spared.

The sharp stone that had just been pressed against his brow suddenly shattered, turning into fine fragments that flew towards him, covering his face completely.

Ankebo buried his head in the pile of rocks, gasping for breath, trembling with fear, and pleading desperately.

"Sir, spare my life! I still have a use for you. Please, spare me this time! I really can still be of great use!"

A cold voice came through the phone again, tinged with indifference.

"What use are you now?"

Ankebo shuddered violently. Still in shock, his mind raced as he desperately searched for a way to save his life, fearing that a moment's delay would cost him his life.

He quickly raised his head and said urgently.

"Audi and Alfa have connections in the underworld, and I hold a high-ranking position in the military—we have power and influence! If we join forces, we can do everything in our power to get whatever you want, sir. There's nothing we can't do!"

The underworld can take action to eliminate targets that Ankpo cannot eliminate due to his status, while Ankpo, who has military power, can also secretly help Audi wipe out other rival gangs in Dubai. The two sides rely on each other and leverage each other's strengths.

This mutually beneficial plan is indeed very tempting. Upon hearing this, Audi's tense expression instantly disappeared, and an undisguised excitement and joy appeared in his eyes.

But a sentence that floated out from the phone in mid-air instantly made the two of them shudder again.

"In the end, you're all having a lot of bad luck right now, and in the end, you'll all have to rely on me to fix everything."

"Sir, from now on, you won't need to bother with those trivial matters; the two of us can handle them easily. However, Audi and I are currently facing some difficult problems that we are unable to resolve. We would be grateful if you could lend a hand."

Now that the entire ship of weapons has been forcibly seized by the other party, and having witnessed firsthand the terrifying and all-powerful methods of this mysterious expert, Ankebo suddenly had an extremely bold idea.

If this mysterious expert can quietly and secretly move the goods seized in the port, and then use this incident to exert pressure on the upper echelons, Ibuprofen will surely lose all its power and collapse completely.

Ankebo dared not delay any longer and quickly laid out his current predicament, emphasizing the crux of the problem.

He bluntly stated that if it weren't for Ibuprofen's constant obstruction and difficulties, the shipment of weapons would have been safely delivered to Audi long ago, and none of these complications would have arisen.

A deep, cold voice came from the phone, speaking softly.

"Judging from your words, you must have already made up your mind. You might as well speak frankly."

Anker breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease. He had made the right decision to gamble with his life, and he had managed to save it.

Audi and Alfa, standing nearby, were dumbfounded, filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

They vaguely guessed that Ankpo had a complete plan in mind, but they couldn't figure out how this unfathomable and mysterious man would turn the tide.

Ankebo no longer kept anything to himself and immediately revealed the entire plan.

He told Su Yuyang the exact location where the military supplies were hidden, hoping that the other party would use his unfathomable abilities to quietly move the entire batch of goods away.

At that time, Ankpo could seize the opportunity to launch an attack, directly arrest Ibuprofen for the serious crime of embezzlement, and send him to a military court for severe punishment.

Once the deed is done, the entire Coast Guard will be under his control, and he will wield absolute power.

From then on, whenever Audi wanted to operate a smuggling business, he would give it the green light and secretly provide comprehensive protection and support.

Su Yuyang pondered for a moment, secretly thinking that this plan was truly ingenious.

Audi and Alfa, standing nearby, had their eyes shining brightly. The two were already excited, imagining the power they would have in the future, controlling Dubai's influence and dominating the entire Middle Eastern underworld.

At this moment, Audi and Alfa watched Su Yuyang's back with eager anticipation in their eyes and longing in their hearts, hoping that this mysterious expert would take action and quietly transfer all the weapons without leaving a trace.

A deathly silence fell over the surroundings. Ankebo lowered his head and held his breath, taking several deep breaths to calm himself down.

After a long while, a calm voice slowly drifted from the phone.

"Okay, when should we start?"

Su Yuyang had no intention of wasting his energy on such trivial matters. After this experience, he already had a more far-reaching plan in mind.

He was determined to take over a country as soon as possible, establish a dedicated arms production capacity, and continuously supply weapons and equipment, thus completely escaping the predicament of constantly smuggling.

At present, Ankpo is an excellent pawn. After this shock, he has become awe-inspiring and completely submits, allowing himself to be used at will.

Ankebo, having achieved his goal, suddenly curled up a near-maniacal smile, his eyes surging with malice, already plotting how to bring down his superior.

When he dared to raise his head, Ankebo turned his head and smiled knowingly at Audi and the other man. He was already plotting in his heart, secretly planning to make his former boss suffer every kind of death.

"I will personally return to the naval port at 8 p.m. tonight to arrange everything."

Ankerbo hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a hint of caution.

"However, the naval port is heavily monitored. I wonder if you have a way to avoid detection without leaving a single trace?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Just tell me the time and place."

Upon hearing this, Ankebo felt a slight weight lifted from his heart, but the tension in his heart had not yet dissipated.

......

Wasteland world, Black Forest.

Glass Mingyuan moved like the wind, swiftly traversing the dense forest, slaying more than ten ferocious mutated giant beasts along the way.

He bent down and devoured the beast's blood and flesh, his depleted strength rapidly returning, and his overall physical strength steadily improved.

Looking up into the deep, dense black forest ahead, a chilling, bloodthirsty light, like that of a predatory beast, suddenly flashed in Glass Mingyuan's deep eyes.

He was determined to continue hunting mutated beasts in the forest. As long as he hunted a beast and obtained a source crystal, he could instantly recover 30% of his cultivation.

Once his strength returns, he will be able to overcome all obstacles and escape this dark forest completely.

He charged straight into the heart of the Black Forest, and the deeper he went, the denser and fiercer the mutated beasts that appeared around him became. Even the fourth-order mutated black snakes, which usually hid in the shadows, began to appear frequently.

Glass Mingyuan darted away, narrowly avoiding the mutated black snake's lair, and ran off into the distance without looking back, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Fortunately, the nest was empty, with no adult black snakes lurking there, only a few cold snake eggs quietly coiled inside.

As he swept past, Glass Mingyuan took all the snake eggs from the nest, then turned back and cast a cold and eerie glance at a certain spot on the way he came.

After running for several hundred meters, Glass Mingyuan suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted coldly at the person behind him.

"Having followed them all this way, it's time for them to show their faces."

Several deformed and mutated human figures suddenly appeared from the surrounding tree canopy. Upon seeing their twisted and terrifying faces, Glass Mingyuan felt a strong sense of nausea and chill.

"Where is Young Master Mingyuan going?"

"Where is Young Master Mingyuan planning to go?"

The mutant on the left, with bear horns, grinned, revealing a silly smile. His gaze swept over Glass Mingyuan's body without restraint, deliberately lingering on Glass Mingyuan's buttocks for a long time, his expression revealing a lewd and strange look.

"That lord has already granted me my freedom; do you dare disobey his decree?"

Glass Mingyuan calmed himself and steadied his mind. If there were only one or two fourth-tier mutants, he could still fight hard and kill them.

Looking around, there were three or four mutants lurking in the shadows, and the situation instantly became extremely difficult.

Once he falls into a disadvantageous position in the fight, the person lurking in the shadows will seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and his entire plan to escape in secret will be completely exposed in an instant.

Glass Mingyuan dared not underestimate his opponent any longer, and leaped repeatedly, fleeing at full speed into the depths of the dense forest.

He moved with the agility of a cheetah, nimbly weaving and darting among the thick tree trunks and intertwined branches, swiftly disappearing into the distance.

"Quickly, after him! We can't let him get away!"

Several figures immediately gave chase, and one of the mutants suddenly had a cold, eerie green light in his eyes, instantly locking onto Glass Mingyuan's escape route.

A chase suddenly broke out in the forest, with everyone racing and fleeing through the dark woods.

"We must not let him escape back to camp!"

A short, stout mutant let out a low shout, his body suddenly curling into a ball, and he rolled rapidly through the forest at an extremely fast speed, about to catch up with Glass Mingyuan who was fleeing ahead.

The five of them teamed up to pursue him, their sole purpose being to take the opportunity to eliminate Glass Mingyuan and prevent any future trouble.

Fortunately, he took the initiative to enter this dangerous dark forest. If he had remained hidden in the camp and not come out, even if the five people had evil intentions, they would have had no way to make a move.

She had been slept with by five men, and the humiliation of the past was still vivid in her mind. She had been wantonly humiliated by the five men.

Glass Mingyuan had long harbored extreme disgust and resistance, and he rejected and loathed these people from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the pursuers were fast approaching, Glass Mingyuan had no choice but to turn around abruptly and open his mouth, spewing out billowing flames.

The raging flames instantly engulfed the trees behind them, and swathes of dark ancient trees were engulfed in flames that shot into the sky, blocking the pursuers' path.

He deliberately created such a huge commotion, fleeing at breakneck speed with a clear objective, heading straight for the fourth-tier mutated black snake's lair.

He didn't hesitate to set fire to the forest and create such a huge commotion, just to disturb the fourth-order mutated black snake that was out foraging for food, and to escape with the help of the ferocious beast.

He was certain that the fourth-tier mutated black snake would be enraged and rush back immediately upon learning that its own snake eggs had been coveted and disturbed.

Even though Glass Mingyuan had a well-thought-out plan and a brilliant mind, the perilous situation around him still kept him on edge, and he dared not relax for a moment.

As soon as he turned his head and opened his mouth to spew forth raging flames, the trees and vines around him suddenly twisted and rolled wildly, instantly weaving into a dense giant net that slammed him straight into it.

In the chaos, blazing flames erupted around Glass Mingyuan, spreading rapidly along the vines that had bound him, turning the branches binding him to ashes.

Amidst the raging fire, wood chips and ashes flew everywhere, leaving him covered in soot and looking utterly disheveled.

Fortunately, he managed to break free from the encirclement and break through the layers of vines. Glass Mingyuan dared not stop for a moment and sped through the dark forest.

Whenever strange branches or trees lashed out at him along the way, he would immediately be engulfed in flames, transforming into a blazing fire shadow that charged and smashed through any obstacles in his path.

Enveloped in raging flames, the grass and vines in the dark forest ignited upon contact with the fire, yet nothing in the black forest could stop him in the slightest.

The five mutants looked solemn upon seeing this, exchanging glances and knowing that ordinary methods would be no match for Glass Mingyuan, who was engulfed in flames.

Without further hesitation, the short, stout mutant suddenly shrank into a ball, carrying a fierce gust of wind, and charged straight forward.

A deafening roar echoed through the forest!

The rounded figure, carrying immense force, slammed into Glass Mingyuan's back.

Even with flames protecting him, he couldn't withstand the earth-shattering impact. His body swayed violently, his steps faltered, and he fell heavily to the ground.

At that very moment, the arm of another mutant beside him suddenly grew more than ten times its original size, and his giant hand spread out to grab the fallen Glass Mingyuan.

Seeing the giant hand coming, unbearable memories of past humiliations surged into his mind. Glass Mingyuan turned his head sharply and let out a furious roar that reverberated through the forest.

The third-tier talent erupted with a thunderous roar—**Sonic Boom Extreme**!

A fierce and violent wave of sound waves surged out and crashed violently into the oncoming giant hand.

The powerful shockwave instantly tore through flesh and blood, violently shattering the surface layer of flesh and blood. The bloodied, gigantic hand, connected only by tendons and bones, still gripped with ferocious ferocity.

The pain shot straight to his mind, and the excruciating pain instantly swept through his entire body. The mutant trembled in pain and hurriedly withdrew his broken giant hand, letting out a fierce roar filled with boundless rage.

The sonic boom exhausted his strength, and Glass Mingyuan could no longer hold on. Like a kite with a broken string, he flew backwards uncontrollably.

The remaining four mutants, their killing intent undiminished, showed no sign of giving up, their feet moving with lightning speed as they relentlessly pursued them.

Both sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle, with the continuous casting of spells to escape nearly draining the last bit of source energy from Glass Mingyuan's body. The pursuers behind them were closing in step by step, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shrinking.

At the critical moment, a dark and muscular shadow suddenly burst through the dense forest canopy, darting out with a chilling, fishy wind, and fiercely biting at a mutant.

The chilling fangs, accompanied by a pungent, fishy smell, rushed towards the mutant before he could react. The mutant was swallowed whole by the suddenly appearing fourth-tier black snake and vanished without a trace.

The thick snake tail, over ten zhang long, suddenly swept out, carrying immense force as it slammed into the remaining mutants. Three towering ancient trees along the way snapped in response, crumbling into countless splinters that flew everywhere.

Seeing the giant snake enraged and attack, Glass Mingyuan's face immediately lit up with wild joy. As he fled, he hurled the snake egg dozens of meters behind him.

The powerful shockwave generated by activating the third-tier talent [Sonic Boom - Extreme] instantly shattered all the snake eggs that had landed, and the stench of the egg liquid spread everywhere, staining the four mutants who were chasing after them.

The fourth-order black snake's lantern-like vertical pupils blazed with cold light, locking onto several mutants. Driven mad by the destruction of its offspring, it launched a fierce and ruthless attack, forcing the four to dodge and defend themselves, with no chance to retaliate.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was tightly entangled by the raging giant serpent, Glass Mingyuan dared not linger and immediately broke free, rushing towards the Black Forest camp at full speed.

He hadn't even lost a single source crystal today. At this moment, he was exhausted and his source energy was depleted. He simply didn't have the strength to break out of this dangerous dark forest on his own.

With no way forward or backward, and having no other choice, they have to temporarily return to the Black Forest camp.

On the other side, the four mutants were forced into a desperate situation, unable to defend themselves and completely trapped. They were all suppressed by the enraged fourth-tier black snake and were in a precarious predicament.

At the critical moment, a figure swiftly pierced through the air and hovered above the dense forest canopy. Instantly, a series of deafening roars resounded.

Black Forest One raised its hand, gathering immense energy, and a torrent of intense firepower poured down, instantly engulfing all the fourth-tier black snakes.

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious giant snake was charred black by the flames, and a strange, pungent smell of burnt flesh slowly drifted through the forest.

The moment the gunfire ceased, the short, stout mutant rushed forward, bent down, and pried open the giant snake's charred body, frantically searching deep inside its belly, determined to find his swallowed companion and rescue him.

However, under the indiscriminate onslaught of Black Forest No. 1, its companion inside the snake's belly had already lost all life force and was completely devoid of any breath.

All eyes fell on the giant snake's brow, where a lustrous crystal suddenly appeared—an extremely rare talent crystal.

The four exchanged glances, their hearts filled with longing, but under the intimidating gaze of Black Forest No. 1, none of them dared to harbor any greedy thoughts and take it for themselves.

The giant mutant with the severed hand raised his intact arm, bent down to pick up the talent crystal from the ground, and stared intently in the direction where Glass Mingyuan had fled into the distance. His heart was filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

"You got lucky this time. I'd like to see how long your luck lasts!"

The four were filled with resentment, completely unaware that the sudden appearance of the fourth-tier black snake, which caused them to lose a companion, was a trap meticulously set by Glass Mingyuan from beginning to end.

......

In the real world, the Strait of Hormuz

Night enveloped the vast Black Sea, and searchlights from the distant naval port swept across the sea back and forth. Wherever the bright beams passed, not a single movement on the sea could be concealed, and there was simply nowhere to hide.

A cargo ship was quietly moored at a secluded warehouse a kilometer away from the naval port. Ibuprofen, along with his soldiers, was silently exchanging goods hidden on the ship with a group of unidentified men in black.

"Cook, this shipment I'm giving you is absolutely worth the price! You promised 15 million US dollars, and you're not going to lower it by a single penny."

Ibuprofen threw his head back and laughed loudly. He was overjoyed and smug at successfully intercepting the goods from Ankerbo.

With this huge sum of fifteen million US dollars in hand, he could use this wealth to climb up the ranks, solidify his position, and take another step forward to completely overshadow Ankerbo.

He glanced at the two cargo ships moored beside the warehouse on the shore, then raised his hand to signal the white man in black opposite him to prepare the cash for the transaction.

Cash on delivery.

Cook, the white man in black, glanced at the group of armed soldiers behind Ibuprofen, hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand in agreement with no other choice. He had no other option but to finalize this arms deal.

"Alright."

Cook nodded in a deep voice, and more than ten men in black behind him immediately opened their briefcases, revealing stacks of brand-new, neatly arranged US dollars that gleamed in the sunlight.

Upon seeing the box full of cash, Ibuprofen's eyes lit up instantly, and he could no longer hide his smile. He couldn't wait to step forward and reach out to count the money in the box.

Just as Ibuprofen was about to reach out and touch it, Cook immediately stepped forward and blocked her way, his expression suddenly turning cold.

"Where's the goods?"

Ibuprofen, still all smiles, patted Cook's shoulder lightly, her tone very cheerful.

"Don't worry, we've known each other for a long time, why would I cheat you?"

He raised his hand and waved, and several soldiers behind him immediately carried the heavy wooden box and steadily placed it between the two of them.

The wooden crate landed with a heavy thud and was immediately pried open.

The box was crammed full of brand-new, high-quality heavy military equipment, with various light and heavy machine guns neatly arranged, and mountains of ammunition. Cook's eyes lit up and his heart burned with excitement.

"Where did you get so many top-quality items?"

As he spoke, Cook reached out and picked up the gun, skillfully manipulating it in a few quick movements, and swiftly loaded the light machine gun with bullets.

This action instantly put everyone on edge. Ibuprofen's soldiers immediately became alert and raised their guns to point at the group of men in black, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Don't be nervous, I know what I'm doing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cook raised his gun, lifted his hand, and pulled the trigger in mid-air, and a burst of bullets suddenly shot out!

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat~ Rat-a-tat-tat~~"

In the cold, quiet night, a sudden burst of gunfire rang out, piercing and striking, instantly shattering the silence of the entire sea.

The sound of gunfire was nothing to Ibuprofen; he still looked at Cook with a smile on his face.

"So, how's this batch of equipment? Do you like it?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Cook put away his pistol, and the two parties immediately began the formal exchange of money and goods.

Just as all the weapons were being transferred from the cargo ship to the other ship, an extremely oppressive, invisible aura instantly enveloped the entire 500-meter radius area of ​​the sea.

The group of white men in black, who were busy unloading goods, froze instantly, standing motionless as if they had been frozen in place. Even the Dubai soldiers standing nearby stopped, unable to move.

In the blink of an eye, everyone felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, and the next second, the surroundings returned to deathly silence.

The group of men in black immediately noticed something was wrong. The wooden crates they were carrying suddenly became light and airy, as if they were already empty inside.

The machine gun in Cook's hand vanished into thin air, along with the heavy stacks of US dollars in everyone's boxes.

In a short span of time, everything changed dramatically. The $1,500 was gone, and all the weapons had vanished without a trace.

Cook and his group instantly turned pale with anger, while Ibuprofen looked completely bewildered and confused, utterly unable to comprehend what strange thing had happened.

"You're the ones who cheated us in secret!"

Cook was filled with rage. He shouted angrily and subconsciously reached for his gun, but only grasped at empty air.

Almost at the same moment, Ibuprofen hurriedly reached for his sidearm at his waist, only to find it empty.

He was both shocked and furious, and immediately shouted, "Take them all down!"

Ibuprofen's heart sank. The thought of the consequences if news of the mysterious loss of this batch of weapons reached his superiors sent chills down his spine. He dared not think any further; his only hope now lay in capturing this group of European gang members.

The truth is no longer important; even if they weren't the ones who did it, the blame must still be firmly pinned on these European gangs.

Both sides issued a death order, and in an instant, the two cargo ships and the shore were in complete chaos as the two groups of people clashed and fought each other.

Cook's anger surged to his head, his face filled with a chilling ferocity as he stared intently at Ibuprofen, who was three steps away, his eyes brimming with an unyielding killing intent.

Bubuprofen stood calmly in place, his soldiers were skilled and powerful, and they fought fiercely with the European gang members, with neither side gaining the upper hand for a time.

The two men faced off coldly, their gazes locked, both waiting silently for their men to decide the victor.

The fight grew increasingly brutal, with punches landing squarely, and the stench of blood filled the air. Ibuprofen's brow furrowed suddenly as he turned to look at the distant sea.

Cook suddenly sensed danger and abruptly turned to retreat. In the deep darkness of the night, a warship was speeding towards them, cutting through the waves, which he couldn't help but take seriously.

"You want to leave!"

Seeing the warship speeding towards them, Ibuprofen was even less likely to let Cook escape. He immediately took a step and quickly chased after it.

A cold glint suddenly flashed past Ibuprofen's neck, and a sharp gust of wind grazed his skin. He broke out in a cold sweat, his feet planted firmly on the ground, and he dared not take another step forward.

Seeing Cook leap onto the black sedan parked on the side of the road and speed away, Ibuprofen had no choice but to suppress his anger and give up the idea of ​​giving chase.

Moments later, the warship slowly lowered the landing craft, and Ankpo led his men to quickly land and surround the group, subduing and controlling all those who had not had time to escape.

Thump thump thump thump

A sudden burst of gunfire erupted, followed by a series of heavy splashes as the white men in black, unable to escape in time, frantically jumped into the sea to flee.

"Fire!"

Watching the crowd flee into the sea, Ankebo strode confidently toward Ibuprofen and gave the order.

He could no longer hide the smugness in his eyes. Long before they landed, Ankpo's mole in Ibuprofen's team had already informed him of the entire operation's details.

The weapons are gone, and so is fifteen million US dollars.

This situation made Ankebo feel extremely happy, and he secretly sneered with delight.

"Ibuprofen, weren't you trying to steal my credit? Well, now you've got nothing!"

Even though he was overjoyed inside, Ankebo pretended to be heartbroken and showed no sign of triumph.
