Chapter 1294 Vine Attack

Early the next morning, after breakfast, everyone set off again.

Compared to yesterday, Noviski and the others were much more cautious today, constantly vigilant of their surroundings, fearing another accident.

However, everyone walked from morning until noon, and it was calm and uneventful; nothing happened.

But the further they went, the denser the forest became, and eventually, the off-road vehicle could no longer proceed.

Noviski said, "Dr. Ye, what should we do?"

Unconsciously, he had already come to regard Ye Bufan as the leader of this team.

"It's fine, our direction is correct. Although we can't pinpoint our location now, based on the distance, we should be close to our destination. Walking there is no problem at all."

So everyone got out of the car and divided the supplies carried in the car into 10 large backpacks, which Noviski and the other 9 guards carried. Ye Bufan and the others traveled light, and they all began to walk.

The vegetation here had been growing for hundreds of years, and the decaying leaves on the ground were almost a foot thick. Every step they took sank deeply, making the journey much more difficult.

Ye Bufan didn't care about this at all. Noviski and the others managed with difficulty, but the other three women struggled.

Feili was a cultivator, powerful, but her physical fitness was not much different from an ordinary person, making walking quite strenuous for her.

However, the little girl was stubborn, biting her lip and not uttering a sound.

Feili and Sofia were the most incapable; they had only walked for less than an hour before they were already drenched in sweat.

"Little handsome guy, let's rest for a while. I really can't walk anymore."

Sofia said, wiping the sweat from her forehead, then plopped down under a large tree.

"Alright, everyone, let's rest."

At Ye Bufan's call, everyone stopped to rest.

Feili leaned against a large tree, looked up, and said, "The vegetation here is so beautiful."

Sofia followed, saying, "Yes, it's like a fairy tale world here."

No wonder the two of them exclaimed; the vegetation here was dense, every tree reaching dozens of meters high, and their colors were very striking, beautiful as if carved from emerald.

They were covered in various vines, hanging down from the tree trunks, looking even more breathtaking.

In contrast, Noviski and the other 9 guards were not in the mood to admire the scenery; they seized the time to recover their strength.

Just as everyone's minds were completely relaxed, a sudden change occurred. The vines on the trees seemed to come alive, sweeping towards them from all directions.

A guard who was resting under a tree was caught off guard and tightly bound by several vines, quickly being lifted into the air.

Some people reacted faster and dodged the first wave of attack.

Unfortunately, these vines were too dense, completely overwhelming, leaving no place to hide. Soon, the other guards were also entangled by the vines and hoisted into the air.

Noviski was a Heavenly Rank Warrior, naturally not to be bound by these ordinary vines. A tremor of Qi from his body turned the approaching vines into dust.

But these vines seemed to be endless, one after another. No sooner had he shattered one batch than another swept in from all directions.

"Seeking death!"

Noviski roared, then threw a punch.

The powerful Qi collided with the vines, again turning into a sky full of debris, flying in pieces.

But even so, he gained no advantage. Immediately, countless vines attacked again, making it impossible for him to withdraw to protect Feili and the others, and he had no energy to save his subordinates.

Facing the sudden attack, Feili's mind moved, and a huge fireball appeared in her palm, ready to turn these vines into ashes.

"Can't use fire," Sofia, hiding behind Ye Bufan, cried out nervously, "If we set the trees here on fire, we'll be completely finished."

Feili then realized that the current environment was different from last night. Last night, it was an open terrain, and even if it caught fire, it would be under control.

But today was different; the surrounding trees were incredibly dense, and once they caught fire, the consequences would be very severe.

Thinking of this, her mind moved, and she directly dispelled the fireball spell.

Feili cried out nervously, "Then what do we do? Quickly save them!"

"It's alright, I'll do it."

Ye Bufan extended his right hand, and a palm-sized Qi vortex appeared in his palm.

"Break for me!"

After a loud shout, the Qi vortex flew out, and after leaving Ye Bufan's palm, it immediately transformed into countless wind blades, like invisible sharp blades, slashing towards the surrounding vines.

Others didn't feel anything, but Feili was dumbfounded. To be able to use the wind blade spell to such an extent, how powerful must one's Mental Energy be to achieve this?

No sooner said than done, countless wind blades, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, slashed out, their power no less than real swords.

Under this fierce offensive, the vines were instantly cut to pieces, turning into a sky full of wood chips falling to the ground.

At the same time, the vines on the guards were all released, and they fell from mid-air.

These people were also agile, and once freed from the vines' restraint, they immediately recovered their cultivation and fell to the ground without injury.

"Dr. Ye, they're coming again."

As Feili cried out, countless more vines swept in from all directions, clearly indicating that the other party had not given up.

"Break for me."

Feili had already prepared. At this moment, she activated her spell, and countless wind blades flew out to meet the vines.

However, her cultivation was far weaker than Ye Bufan's. The wind blades only shattered some vines but failed to stop their offensive.

"Still not giving up?"

Ye Bufan let out a cold snort, and then an even larger Qi vortex appeared in mid-air, transforming into a sky full of wind blades that swept out.

This time, the wind blade spell was even more powerful, destroying the surrounding vines in almost an instant. Even the large trees around them were not spared, turning into a sky full of wood chips in the violent wind blades.

After the storm passed, within a 50-meter radius centered on them, not a single tree remained.

The people around them were all shocked, no one had expected the power of Ye Bufan's spell to reach such a level.

At the same time, they secretly rejoiced, glad that they had such a powerful person accompanying them, otherwise, they would have likely encountered big trouble today.

Speaking of which, this Death Grand Canyon was truly too bizarre. How could even trees become spirits and attack people?

Feili looked around, finding everything calm and no more vines attacking, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, she realized she was tightly hugging Ye Bufan, her high chest pressed against his arm. Her cheeks instantly flushed, and she quickly released her hands.

"Dr. Ye, what exactly is going on? Have these vines become spirits? Why are they attacking us?"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, saying calmly, "Perhaps."

Noviski said with a puzzled expression, "It's truly strange. I've only heard of man-eating vines attacking people, but these vines and trees are clearly not man-eating vines."

Sofia said, "This is the Death Grand Canyon; there are too many strange things here. You simply can't explain it with common sense."

Feili said with lingering fear, "No wonder so many people who came in before couldn't get out alive. This place is truly too bizarre. Fortunately, we have Dr. Ye with us this time, otherwise, everyone would have died here…"

Others strongly agreed with her words, their eyes filled with gratitude and admiration as they looked at Ye Bufan.

Just then, Sofia let out a scream, pointing at the forest ahead and crying out, "Look, what is that?"
