Chapter 1288 Positioning Failure

George nodded with satisfaction. "This mission will be your responsibility. There can be no mistakes."

He was very satisfied with his captain of the guard.

Noviski also patted his chest and said, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely protect Young Miss's safety."

George said, "Not only Young Miss, but also Dr. Ye and Young Miss Future. You must protect them. Not a single hair can be missing."

"What? They're going too?"

Noviski didn't know the specifics of this mission, only that Young Miss was going to Death Grand Canyon for a very important matter. He never expected to bring a doctor and a little girl.

Ye Bufan said, "That's right. I heard it's very interesting there, so I want to go take a look."

He could tell that the captain in front of him didn't know the secrets of the George Family, so he didn't reveal the details.

"This…"

Noviski almost choked on his own saliva. This was like going on a trip!

George said, "Alright, Dr. Ye and Young Miss Future must go. You just need to be responsible for protecting their safety."

"Yes!"

Noviski was just the Family's captain of the guard. Although he was extremely unconvinced, he couldn't refute.

He turned to Ye Bufan: "Dr. Ye, when do you think is a good time to depart?"

"Since you've already made the plan, the sooner the better. Let's depart tonight."

Ye Bufan said, "From Apple City to Death Grand Canyon, the distance on the map is about 1000 kilometers.

If we depart tonight, we'll arrive there tomorrow morning. Entering the Canyon during the day will be less dangerous."

Noviski said proudly, "Dr. Ye, you don't know how powerful our guard team is. With us here, it doesn't matter what time it is; there's no such thing as danger."

He was originally a Heavenly Rank Warrior, extremely proud, and he regarded Ye Bufan as an ordinary doctor.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Alright, let's depart now."

Everyone came out the door, where four modified off-road vehicles were already parked. Although they looked somewhat ordinary, their performance was extremely powerful, with excellent defensive and off-road capabilities.

Ye Bufan, Feili, and Young Miss Future got into the first off-road vehicle, driven by Noviski.

The remaining 10 team members got into the three vehicles behind. Everyone left the castle together and drove towards Death Grand Canyon.

Shortly after departing, the sun set. Noviski and the guard members were all strong, and they didn't mind driving at night. They set off overnight without any stops.

Their modified off-road vehicles had powerful performance, but their speed was average. They drove all night and arrived at a city next to Death Grand Canyon early the next morning.

Everyone had breakfast here, rested briefly, and replenished fuel and other supplies before driving towards Death Grand Canyon.

After driving another seventy to eighty li, the road disappeared. After another twenty to thirty li, they officially arrived at the edge of Death Grand Canyon.

Due to its notorious reputation, this place was completely desolate, with no sign of a single person for a long time.

Needless to say, there was no road at all. Fortunately, the four off-road vehicles had extremely powerful performance and didn't care about these obstacles, driving straight ahead.

At noon, their group finally arrived at the entrance of Death Grand Canyon.

This Grand Canyon was about sixty kilometers long and thirty kilometers wide, with a vast area, but only one entrance.

Other places were cliffs, and only here was the road relatively flat and easier to enter.

Next to the entrance stood a stone tablet with the words "Danger, No Entry" written in large red English letters.

Feili said, "Captain Noviski, that's Death Grand Canyon ahead. Please inform everyone to be careful."

"Young Miss, these things are actually just to scare ordinary people. What danger can a Grand Canyon have? At most, there might be some fierce beasts, which pose no threat to us at all."

As a Heaven Rank Expert, Noviski didn't take Death Grand Canyon seriously.

He picked up the walkie-talkie in the car and shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command. Vehicle 2 will lead the way, and Vehicles 3 and 4 will drive parallel on both sides. We are now officially entering Death Grand Canyon."

"Received!"

After the response came from the walkie-talkie, one of the off-road vehicles behind moved to the front, and all four vehicles drove forward together.

Upon entering, there wasn't much change. Even the vegetation wasn't as dense as in previous years, and the road was still relatively flat.

"Young Miss, I told you, the so-called Death Grand Canyon is just to scare ordinary people. There's nothing to it. What's the difference from the outside?"

Noviski's expression showed a hint of smugness, but Ye Bufan sensed the difference here.

His Divine Sense scanned like a radar, clearly seeing everything around him, yet he found that while there was abundant life outside the Canyon, once inside, he couldn't even find a small animal, or even an insect. It was eerily silent.

From this, it was clear that Death Grand Canyon was not an empty name; there were indeed some unknown things.

However, he didn't explain these things. No matter what dangers lay ahead, they still had to move forward.

The convoy continued to advance, and after a few kilometers, the surroundings changed. Tall trees became more and more numerous.

Although the distance between these trees was wide enough not to impede the off-road vehicles, they completely blocked out the sun, casting a deep shadow.

Coupled with the mist rising within the Canyon, the light became even dimmer.

After another ten minutes or so, the lead vehicle, Vehicle 2, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you moving?"

Noviski shouted into the walkie-talkie.

Soon, the reply came, "Reporting, Captain, our satellite positioning System suddenly failed. We cannot determine the direction of travel."

In wilderness survival, whether at sea, in the desert, or in forests like this, the most important thing is to determine direction.

Once direction is lost, it's equivalent to being lost, and one could very likely starve to death here.

"How is that possible? We're using the most advanced satellite positioning System."

Noviski was greatly surprised. The Lawrence Family was wealthy and powerful. The vehicle positioning System they used was probably the most advanced in the world, rumored to have no blind spots globally, yet it failed as soon as they entered here.

The walkie-talkie again shouted, "Captain, we've tried debugging several times, but there's truly no signal."

"Then use a compass."

Noviski was well-prepared this time. Besides the advanced satellite positioning System, he also brought a traditional compass.

Soon, the other party's reply came: "Reporting, Captain, the compass is also completely useless here."

"The compass is useless too?"

Noviski's expression changed. He reached into his pocket for the compass he had prepared, opened the lid, and saw the needle shaking constantly.

It pointed left for a moment, then right, clearly having lost its basic positioning function.

"Uh…"

At this, Noviski's previous relaxed demeanor vanished, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

No matter how high his cultivation was, if he couldn't find the direction to move forward, he would still be at a loss.
