ng into an ice sculpture.If you don't give up resistance at this point, I'm afraid the only outcome will be death."What an amazing Yin-Yang Realm!"The black-clad disciple still had some basic spiritua...Novitski and ten other team members stood beside him, stunned by the woman's beauty.

Although Filli is beautiful, she's their employer so they wouldn't dare to have any improper thoughts.

But the woman before him was different. Saving a fallen woman could easily lead to unwanted thoughts.

Especially Novitzky, who had always been alone these years, felt his heart pounding with desire upon seeing this enchanting beauty.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me."

The woman smiled sweetly at the crowd, looking more beautiful and alluring than ever.

"It's alright, it's what we should do." Novikov spoke first. "Beautiful lady, what exactly is going on What happened How did you end up here And how did you faint"

Hearing his question, the woman's expression dimmed, and she said softly, "I am an expedition member. Our team is called the Wise Expedition."

I'd heard that Death Valley was especially mysterious, so a month ago, under the leadership of our tour guide, we came here to uncover its secrets.

After we entered, before we could discover anything, we got lost. The positioning system failed, and the compass was useless. We walked for a long time but couldn't get out.

Later, we ate all the food we had brought. We then encountered a beast, and all my companions died. I'm the only one who escaped to this place.

The woman, speaking at last, grew increasingly heartbroken. Her shoulders trembled, and she broke down into sobs.

Novitski hurried to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, beautiful lady. Since we've met, everything else is in the past."

The woman nodded. "Thank you, my name is Sophia. I will thank you properly when I get back."

As a woman, Phili felt ever more sympathy for Sophia's situation.

"How many people were in your examination group Did everyone else perish"

"Yes, there were ten of us in total, and the other nine have all been eaten by the beasts. I'm the only one left."

"It was the squad leader and his men who fought hard to protect me, allowing me to escape."

Sophia said angrily, "This damn place is so creepy. What are you doing here Are you also here for scientific research"

If that's the case, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. This place won't yield anything, and the longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes.

“Once all the food is gone, we'll be trapped forever.”

"Sophia, we are here on a special mission and will not leave until it is completed."

"If you're willing, come with us. If not, we'll give you enough food to leave on your own."

"No, don't ever leave me alone down here."

Sophia seemed to have thought of something terrifying, her face suddenly paling. She leaped into Novikovsky's arms in fright.

"I want to be with you guys, I don't want to be alone, it's really scary here."

Nowinski patted his solid chest and said confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

Ye Bufan had been watching the woman quietly all along, saying nothing.

Fili only then remembered that she shouldn't be making this decision alone. She quickly said, "Doctor Ye, Sophia is really pitiful. Can you take her with us"

“OK, let’s continue our journey.”

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he turned and got into the car. As a woman, Sophia got in the car with them, sitting in the back row with Fei Li and Wei Lai.

The team continued their journey, and Sophia seemed to slowly recover from her previous fear. She was very talkative, constantly chatting with the others, her eyes occasionally glancing at Ye Bufan.

They were already moving at a particularly slow pace through the forest, and after this incident, it was nearing evening. The sun in the sky was slowly setting, and darkness was about to fall.

The light in the forest was dimmer than outside, making it feel even more gloomy.

"Well, it's getting dark and we could get lost. Let's find a place to camp."

Ye Bufan led the way forward, mainly relying on the sun to determine direction. Once the sun set, they could only stop and rest.

Then everyone walked forward for another twenty or thirty minutes, and just arrived at a wide open area.

Here, it's about one or two hundred square meters, not too many trees, green grass like shade, the terrain is flat, perfect for camping.

After everyone stopped, Novikov first led 10 of his men to flatten a patch of ground in the center of the area. Then they arranged four vehicles in a circle and lit a bonfire at the center point.

"Alright, everyone, you can enjoy your picnic now."

After he finished speaking, he took out pre-prepared food from the car. There was roasted chicken, ham, sandwiches, and some beer.

Everyone was chatting and eating while enjoying themselves. With Sophia's arrival, Novitsky and the other 10 guards looked very excited.

In the future, sitting beside Ye Bufan, she quietly ate a piece of bread. Since joining the team, she had spoken less.

Although a reconciliation has been reached with the Lawrence family, the shadow it cast won't disappear overnight.

Sophia's personality was very lively, and she would occasionally toast with others. Finally, holding a can of beer, she walked over and sat down next to Ye Bufan.

"Little handsome guy, are you Chinese"

Ye Bufan nodded. "That's right, I am from China."

"Then what brings you here Are you also taking the civil service exam"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "No, I'm not a scholar-official candidate. I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and I came here for tourism."

"Really Then I can only say that you are an interesting person."

Sophia smiled sweetly at him, her beauty even more captivating in the firelight.

Seeing this, Novikov and the others were extremely unhappy. They had just been very attentive, but they didn't expect this woman to go to that Chinese man.

Sophia looked at him with interest and said, "Hey handsome, I just heard they say you're the one who leads the way in this Death Canyon."

"You have to know we're a very experienced expedition team. We tried every trick in the book but still couldn't figure out our direction before getting lost here. I'm really curious, how did you manage to do it Can you tell me"

Facing a stranger, Ye Bufan would certainly not reveal his secrets.

He smiled slightly: "If I said I have ESP and can easily tell which way is north, south, east, or west, would you believe me"

"I believe."

He originally just wanted to joke his way out of the topic, but Sophia nodded seriously and surprisingly believed him.

This surprised Ye Bufan somewhat: "You believe in the existence of special abilities Don't you think I'm deceiving you"

"Why do you think I'm lying to you Is there any other better answer"

Sophia said, "Our previous research team has always been involved in research on brain development in humans."

The human brain uses only 3% to 9% of its capacity, with over 90% remaining dormant.

Previously, we believed that if we could develop all other areas of the brain, people would become smarter. However, research has shown that this belief is incorrect, as the functions of other brain regions do not manifest in intelligence.uch of bewilderment.If these pills were taken by oneself, they would probably only be able to raise one's cultivation from the early stage of Great Spirit Immortal to the late stage, perhaps even fail...
