Chapter 1302 The First Wave of Attack

Ye Bufan and the others rested for a night, safe and sound, and set off again after breakfast the next morning.

The group advanced another five or six kilometers, and as noon approached, Feili suddenly changed, crying out joyfully, "Ye Dage, I've sensed the golden staff's presence! It seems the map is correct; our Tu Tribe's Saintess truly is hidden here."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Hearing this news, Feili was also very happy. She had been somewhat worried that the items recorded on the map had no relation to the golden staff, in which case her Family would truly see no hope.

Now that it was confirmed to be the golden staff, as long as they could get their hands on it, Feili would be able to help the Lawrence Family lift the blood curse and start a new life.

"That's for the best," Ye Bufan said, also very pleased with this outcome. "Can you sense how much farther it is?"

Feili said, "According to our Tu Tribe's records, a Saintess can sense the staff's presence within a ten-mile radius. Based on that, it should be about ten miles away."

"Only ten miles left? Then let's hurry; we'll be there soon."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, everyone set off again.

Noviski followed behind him and said, "Boss, there's been no movement from the 51 Area so far. Do you think they're scared off by you, or do they have another plan?"

"Who knows? We just need to be careful."

Ye Bufan currently knew too little about the 51 Area to make a correct judgment.

His current strategy was to eliminate the opponent if they appeared, but if they remained hidden, he would wait until after he had obtained the golden staff.

At the secret base, Lampard rushed into Viera's room: "Boss, Ye Bufan and those people are heading towards our base."

Viera frowned, "Are you sure they're coming for us? Could they be passing by or have taken the wrong direction?"

"I don't think so. I've been observing for a long time, and they're walking straight towards us without any hesitation.

I can confirm their target is here."

"Damn it, how did they find us?"

Viera cursed angrily, unable to understand how his base, built so secretly, had been discovered by the enemy.

He asked again, "How far are they from the base?"

"Not far, only about 2.5 kilometers left."

"That close?" Viera hesitated for a moment and said, "perfect no. 1 (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) will take about two more hours to complete Fusion. Organize all forces; we must stop them."

"Understood, Boss."

Lampard agreed, turned, and went out to make arrangements.

Ye Bufan and the others advanced about five miles when suddenly, the dense, towering primeval forest gave way to an open valley.

In the distance, a mountain peak was faintly visible. Feili raised her hand, pointing towards it, and excitedly said, "Ye Dage, I can feel it; the golden staff is over there."

Feili followed up, "According to the map, that's also the location. It seems we haven't gone the wrong way."

Everyone looked towards the mountain peak, their faces showing excitement. After walking for so long, they were finally about to complete their mission.

But just then, a black cloud drifted over from the mountain peak. Noviski's expression immediately changed drastically: "Boss, what is that?"

At this moment, everyone else also noticed the change. Looking closely, what was flying over was not a black cloud at all, but tens of thousands of large bats.

"Oh my goodness, it's a bat swarm!" Feili exclaimed, "Don't these things only come out at night? Why are they coming out in broad daylight?"

Looking at the overwhelming swarm of bats, Noviski, even as a Heaven Rank Expert, couldn't help but swallow.

"It's the 51 Area; they must be making their move."

Cole licked his dry lips and added, "Such a huge group of bats, are they going to suck people into mummies? Fortunately, we have Boss with us, otherwise, we'd really be finished."

At his words, the others immediately felt a bit more at ease. With Ye Bufan present, they had dealt with the ants and rats before, so a group of bats wouldn't be much different.

The bats came extremely fast, reaching them in the time it took for a few words to be exchanged.

Compared to ordinary bats, these creatures were terrifyingly large, with wingspans easily over a meter.

"Ice Spear Art!"

Feili shouted, activating her spell. Hundreds of ice spears shot towards the bats in the air.

The power of these ice spears was no less than that of steel-forged lances. As they shot out, bats fell from the sky one after another, emitting sharp, shrill cries from their mouths.

However, the sheer number of bats was too great. In comparison, a few hundred ice spears were pitifully few and failed to make much of an impact.

The bats came closer and closer, pressing down like an overwhelming tide.

Noviski and the others gripped their weapons tightly, their expressions tense (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) and extremely nervous.

"Break for me!"

Ye Bufan finished speaking and waved his large hand, and countless wind blades swept out around them.

The best way to deal with this type of attack was naturally wind blades. However, Feili's cultivation was only at the Grandmaster Realm, and the wind blades she used were not powerful enough to kill these bats, which is why she chose the relatively stronger Ice Spear Art.

But Ye Bufan was different; the wind blades he unleashed possessed infinite power, like countless steel knives sweeping outwards.

In an instant, the bats overhead turned into bursts of blood mist, scattering in mid-air, a sight that made one's heart pound.

"Damn it, how is this happening?"

In the underground base, Viera, Lampard, and the others were stunned by this scene. What was going on? Even modern weapons wouldn't have such immense power, would they?

How could a wave of the hand turn so many bats into shattered pieces?

Ye Bufan showed no signs of stopping. After several more releases of wind blades, the remaining bats were also completely annihilated, and the sky returned to clear.

The ground was covered with a layer of blood-red minced meat, like a crimson carpet, a sight that made one's heart pound.

The strong smell of blood in the air was so intense it made one feel nauseous.

"Dr. Ye, it's a good thing you're here."

Feili hooked one arm through Ye Bufan's and used her other hand to pat her ample chest. This trip to Death Grand Canyon had made her experience too many things.

"Alright, let's continue."

Having dealt with the bats, everyone continued their advance towards the mountain peak.

Lampard licked his dry lips and looked at Viera: "Boss, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? perfect no. 1 is at a critical stage; we absolutely cannot let all our efforts go to waste. No matter the cost, we must stop them. Send out the second wave of attack."

Viera said through gritted teeth.

He had worked hard here for so many years, and now that he was about to succeed, he absolutely would not allow anyone to ruin his plans.

"Understood, Boss."

Lampard agreed, picked up the walkie-talkie beside him, and shouted, "Everyone, get ready! Second wave of attack, begin!"

Ye Bufan led the group forward, knowing that this battle was not over. Everyone was fully focused, constantly paying attention to the changes around them.

Suddenly, he stopped. Feili immediately asked nervously, "Dr. Ye, what's wrong? What's happening?"
