Wuxi was furious and wanted to jump up, but now he was just a cripple. Where was there any ability to resist"You just broke my limbs, and it felt good to you, didn't it Now you get a taste of your ow...George nodded in satisfaction, "I'm entrusting this mission to you. There can be absolutely no mistakes."
He was still very satisfied with the squad leader.
"Master, rest assured. I will protect Miss's safety with my life," Novikov said, pounding his chest.
George said: "Not only Miss, but also Dr. Ye and Miss Future, must be protected well, not a single hair should be missing."
"What They're going too"
Novitskiy didn't know the specifics of the mission, only that Miss was going to Death Canyon for something very important, and he hadn't expected her to bring a doctor and a little girl along.
Ye Bufan said: "That's right, I heard it was interesting there, so I want to go and have a look."
He could tell that the captain in front of him was unaware of the secrets of the George family, so he did not reveal the specifics.
"This..."
Novitskiy almost choked on his own saliva, this guy thinks he's going on vacation.
George said, "Alright, Dr. Ye and Miss Future are a must-go. You just need to be responsible for their safety."
"Yes!"
Novitski was just the family's guard captain, though he felt deeply discontent, there was no way to refute it.
Turning her head to look at Ye Bufan: "Doctor Ye, what time do you think is suitable to leave"
"Since you've already made a plan, the sooner the better. Let's set off this evening."
Ye Bufan said, "From Apple City to Death Canyon, the distance on the map is roughly 1,000 kilometers."
We're leaving tonight, arriving there tomorrow morning. We can enter the canyon during the day when it's safer.
Novitskiy said arrogantly, “Dr. Ye, you don’t know how powerful our guards are. As long as we're there, there's no danger at all, it doesn't even exist.”
He was originally a Heavenly Rank warrior, extremely proud inwardly, and also regarded Ye Bufan as an ordinary doctor.
Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Alright, let's set off now."
Everyone arrived at the door, and four modified SUVs were already parked there. Though they seemed ordinary at first glance, their performance was very powerful, with superior defensive capabilities and off-road abilities.
Ye Bufan and Fei Li, along with Wei Lai, got into the first SUV, driven by Novikov.
The remaining 10 team members got into the three jeeps that followed, and they all drove out of the ancient castle and toward Death Canyon.
After departure, Ye Bufan called Lu Banxia.

I made a phone call and told her that there was something important to take care of, so I had to leave Apple City and would be back in a few days.
He then called Cao Xinhua and handed over the task of handling the TCM delegation to them.
Soon after they set off, the sun went down. Novikov and the guardsmen were all strong and didn't mind driving at night. They drove all night without stopping.
These modified off-road vehicles were powerful, but their speed was average. They drove all night long and arrived at a city next to the Death Valley in the early morning of the next day.
Everyone had breakfast here, took a short rest, and replenished their supplies of fuel and other necessities before heading into the Valley of Death.
After walking another seventy or eighty miles on the road, and driving another twenty or thirty miles, everyone finally arrived at the edge of Death Canyon.
Because of its infamy, the place was completely deserted, with not a single soul in sight for a long time.
As for the roads, there weren't any to speak of. Luckily, these four SUVs were incredibly capable and didn't care about that. They just drove straight ahead.
At noon, their group finally arrived at the entrance of Death Canyon.
This canyon is about sixty or seventy kilometers long and thirty or forty kilometers wide, covering a very large area, but there is only one entrance.
Elsewhere, the terrain is sheer cliffs, but here the path is relatively flat and easier to access.
There was a stone monument beside the intersection, on which were written in bold red English letters "Danger" and "Keep Out".
"Captain Novitzky, ahead lies the Valley of Death. Please inform everyone to be careful," said Philly.
"Miss, these things are just meant to scare ordinary people. A big canyon can't be that dangerous; at most, there might be some wild beasts. They pose no threat to us at all."
As a Heaven-ranked expert, Novitsky didn't really care about something like the Death Canyon.
He picked up the walkie-talkie in his car and shouted, "Everyone listen to my command, Car number 2 will lead the way at the front, cars number 3 and 4 will parallel on both sides, now we officially enter Death Canyon."
"Got it!"
After the response in the walkie-talkie, a following SUV drove to the front, and the four vehicles drove forward together.
Upon entering, there wasn't much change noticeable. Even the vegetation wasn't as lush as in previous years, and the road was still relatively smooth.
"Miss, I told you, so-called Death Canyon is just scaring ordinary people. There's nothing to it, it's no different from outside"
Novitski's expression betrayed a hint of triumph, yet Ye Bufan sensed something amiss.
(To be continued, please turn the page)
His divine sense swept like a radar, making everything around him crystal clear. He discovered that the area outside the canyon was teeming with life, but the moment he entered here, not even a small animal could be found, not even an insect. It was eerily silent.
As can be seen, this Death Valley is not undeservedly infamous; there are indeed some unknown things in it.
But he did not explain these things. No matter what dangers lay ahead, he would press on nonetheless.
The convoy continued its journey, and after driving several kilometers, the surroundings changed. Tall trees became increasingly common.
Although the trees were spaced far apart enough to allow a jeep to pass, they formed a dense canopy that completely blocked out the sun.
Moreover, a mist rose within the canyon, making the light even dimmer.
After walking for about another ten minutes, car number 2 at the front suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong Why aren't you leaving"
Novitskiy yelled into the intercom.
"Captain, our satellite navigation system has suddenly malfunctioned. We are unable to determine our direction of travel at this time."
When it comes to wilderness survival, whether you're sailing the seas, traversing a desert, or navigating through a forest like this one, the most crucial skill is knowing how to orient yourself.
Once you lose your direction, it's the same as being lost and you could very well starve to death here.
"How is this possible We're using the most advanced satellite positioning system."
Novitskiy was stunned. The Laurence family had deep pockets, and the car-mounted positioning system they used was supposedly the most advanced in the world, with a legend of having no blind spots globally. Yet, as soon as he entered here, it stopped working.
"Over the radio, I said again, "Captain, we've tried calibrating it several times, but there's still no signal."
"Then use the compass."
Novitskiy was well-prepared this time, besides the advanced satellite positioning system, he also brought a traditional compass.
"Report, Captain. The compass here has also failed completely."
"The compass doesn't work either"
Novitski's expression changed, and he reached into his pocket to pull out a compass. He opened it to see the needle spinning erratically.
It swings back and forth, pointing left then right, clearly having lost its basic ability to orient itself.
"Uh..."
Now, Novicksi's earlier ease vanished, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Even if his cultivation level were high, he would be just as lost if he couldn't find direction.
