The Dark Altar learned of the overseas immortal ruins and immediately dispatched forces to monopolize the treasures within.
This time, the Dark Altar sent out almost all its forces. Except for Queen of Vengeance Bith, who was in a war-torn African tribe using cruel methods to create the Source of Life, almost all other elites of the Dark Altar were mobilized.
However, the vast majority of these elites were recently created by Bith using the Source of Life.
Ling Tian's actions in the United States had severely weakened the Dark Altar.
If these people suffered further losses, even with Bith's continuous supply of the Source of Life, it would be difficult for the Dark Altar to recover its strength in a short period.
Therefore, Bith personally appointed Dr. Bryant as the head of this operation!
This Dr. Bryant was very cautious. Upon arriving at the nearest port city, they did not immediately rush to the overseas immortal ruins. Instead, they rented a hotel and gathered information.
His caution allowed them to avoid significant losses. Otherwise, even with all the Dark Altar's elites present, they might not have gained an advantage against the merfolk.
Initially, many in the Dark Altar team were dissatisfied with his choice, considering him a coward. However, after the news of the merfolk reached them, those individuals were completely convinced.
Upon learning of the merfolk's demise, Dr. Bryant made a decisive move, and they set off immediately, arriving at Merfolk Island.
They utilized their superior strength to secure the most suitable landing beach.
Some were dispatched to study the special formation and prepare to break into the immortal ruins, while others remained to wait for opportunities.
Once other adventurer teams arrived on the island, they would be attacked immediately.
Among these adventurers, those skilled in deciphering formations were kept, controlled with poison, and forced to break the formations.
The rest were slaughtered, and their supplies, along with much of their weaponry and equipment, were gladly accepted by the Dark Group.
Some adventurers were more intelligent. They did not land immediately, and sensing something was wrong, they fled. However, they dared not voice their anger at the Dark Altar's actions.
Americans, after all, were bandits. When they engaged in their usual business, who could stop them?
Furthermore, the Dark Altar was already notorious among the world's superpowered individuals. With this double reputation, who would dare oppose them!
In fact, in the past two days, many adventurers, seeing so many people on the shore from a distance, simply turned back.
As for attempting to land elsewhere, it was not an easy task. Beaches suitable for large ships were generally ambushed by the Dark Group.
Even if they managed to land, they would soon be discovered by reconnaissance personnel dispatched by the Dark Altar, and an army would immediately descend upon them.
In the past couple of days, many superpowered individuals had also arrived. Upon seeing the situation on the shore, they immediately retreated.
However, Dr. Bryant did not expect such a luxurious cruise ship to arrive, nor did he expect a group of people to disembark. Were these people mentally unsound and lacking vigilance, or were they so powerful that they simply didn't care about them?
At that moment, Dr. Bryant saw a woman of breathtaking beauty, captivating and soul-stirring, walking towards him.
"Hi, handsome, are you here to welcome us? Wow, such a grand reception, I'm so touched..."
The person who arrived was Yulia. Looking at Yulia's pretty face, Dr. Bryant and those around him felt a stir of desire, wishing they could transform into werewolves and pounce.
But soon, Dr. Bryant regained his composure. His ability was telekinesis, which required extremely high mental strength, as his ability involved enveloping objects with mental energy.
Yulia's charm technique, in essence, was a mental attack, amplified by her inherent beauty and allure.
"Motherfucker!"
Dr. Bryant shouted, and a powerful mental energy erupted outwards from him.
Those affected by this mental force immediately snapped out of their infatuated state, and the guns that had been lowered were raised again!
"Woman, you're playing with fire!" Dr. Bryant said coldly.
"Oh, handsome, that's not very gentlemanly of you!"
"Stop with the nonsense. Hurry up and take your people and get lost. This Merfolk Island is not something you can covet!"
If they were ordinary adventurers, Dr. Bryant would have already ordered them to open fire. But he could sense that these people were not simple!
One woman possessed such powerful abilities, and this woman showed no fear of them.
Dr. Bryant felt that if a fight broke out, both sides might suffer heavy losses!
"Why? This Merfolk Island isn't yours. We can come and go as we please, and when we leave is up to us!"
"Woman, you are also a superpowered individual. Haven't you heard of the Dark Altar?
Do you want to oppose the Dark Altar?"
"Haha... Of course, I know the Dark Altar. A small organization formed by a bunch of disillusioned superpowered individuals.
What can you do to us? If we offend you, we offend you. Are you going to come to Hua Guo to cause trouble for us?
We'll be waiting. Feel free to cause trouble!"
Upon hearing Yulia's words, Dr. Bryant's face turned green. He hadn't expected this woman to disregard the Dark Altar so completely!
However, he was indeed unable to refute her. China was truly a magical place. It was not only a forbidden zone for mercenaries but also for overseas superpowered individuals like them.
China not only had the righteous alliance and guardians like Dragon Might, but even the common people of China were full of hidden talents. If one dared to extend their claws, they would inevitably have them severed!
"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite. You will regret your choice..."
Before Dr. Bryant could finish speaking, Shi Jiu had already appeared beside Yulia.
"Yulia, what are you babbling with him about? What's there to talk about with this birdman!"
Shi Jiu couldn't understand their language, but the defiant expression on Bryant's face made him feel annoyed.
"Hehe, Ninth Master, it's nothing much. Just some ignorant fools threatening us."
"He dares? I'd like to see who dares to threaten our Heavenly Demon Sect!"
