At the entrance of the mountain peak.

Ye Yifan and the others stopped.

They frowned as they looked at one of them.

“Luo Wei, what the hell are you doing? We’re in a hurry. Why are we stopping?”

“That’s right. We’re racing against time. How can we stop here?”

“Let’s hurry up. We’re not far from the fire attribute territory. We’ll be there in a while.”

“I heard that the main force of the Land of Origin team has already set off for our earth attribute territory. We don’t have much time left.”

…

Ye Yifan also looked at this person. Luo Wei was his right-hand man and a famous expert in the Red Star Empire team. He was also known as the number one assassin because his assassination abilities were powerful.

“Luo Wei, what’s the situation?” Ye Yifan also asked.

Ye Yifan naturally trusted Luo Wei more. After all, Luo Wei was his right-hand man. If he asked them to stop now, something was wrong.

Luo Wei’s face was cold. Facing the scolding of the other members, he acted as if he didn’t hear them and directly ignored them.

Luo Wei observed the only path in the middle of the mountains and frowned. “I’m not sure, but the terrain ahead is suitable for an ambush. If the experts of the Land of Origin team are lying in ambush here, it will be dangerous for us to enter rashly.”

“You want us to stop just because this terrain is good for an ambush?” Ye Yifan couldn’t help but be suspicious. According to his understanding, Luo Wei wasn’t suspicious of everything. However, this point should not make him cautious.

Luo Wei looked at the sky with doubt and said, “When I was far away, I vaguely saw a figure in the sky. I wanted to get closer to observe, but that figure suddenly disappeared. However, it was too far and too high, so I’m not sure. However, this place is a good terrain for an ambush, so I keep feeling something is wrong.”

When the others heard Luo Wei’s explanation, they immediately disapproved.

“Just this? It is too fake.”

“Luo Wei, did you see wrong?”

“How could anyone be able to fly? We are on the fifth level of the Tower. Only the awakened ones on the ninth level of Tower were strong enough to fly.”

“Flying is possible with special equipment. However, such equipment is rare. I have never heard of any awakened has such equipment on the fifth level of the Tower.”

“Luo Wei, don’t be so suspicious. How could the Land of Origin team be so smart to ambush us and accurately predict our route?”

“Even if there is an awakened who can fly, how could he suddenly disappear after soaring so high? ”

…

Ye Yifan frowned slightly and wanted to believe Luo Wei.

Luo Wei was an assassin, and he was the number one assassin in the Red Star Empire team. He was proficient in all aspects, especially ambushing and assassinating.

Generally speaking, Luo Wei’s judgment was more accurate.

But this time, it was too strange.

Ye Yifan also didn’t quite believe what Luo Wei had just said. There should not be an awakened one who could fly on the fifth level of the Tower and suddenly disappear.

In addition, the other party had to know their route in advance before they could set up an ambush.

However, the battle between the Land of Origin team and the European Union had just ended.

The Land of Origin team couldn’t gather so much information in such a short time.

All in all, Ye Yifan felt that Luo Wei’s judgment this time was wrong. No one could ambush them in front.

Ye Yifan looked at Luo Wei and said, “Alright, there’s no need to be so cautious. If we take this detour, we’ll waste a lot of time. Time is precious, and we can’t afford to waste it. Let’s continue moving forward. However, everyone must be careful to avoid any danger.”

When Luo Wei heard this, he nodded slightly and stayed quiet.

Soon, Ye Yifan led these experts toward the road in the mountains.

Liu Yan, Allen Smith, and the other experts on the ground were relieved when they saw Ye Yifan and the others continue to move forward.

Soon, Ye Yifan passed by Alan Smith and the other experts.

However, Alan Smith and the others naturally didn’t make a move. Their duty was to seal off the escape route, so they naturally had to let Ye Yifan and the others pass through.

Ye Yifan and the others continued to move forward. As they went further, the expressions of the few experts became a little tense.

“You don’t say. It is indeed an extremely suitable place for an ambush.”

“That’s right. We’re surrounded by tall mountains. If we’re ambushed, there’s no way we can go.

“Looks like we can’t blame Luo Wei for being overly cautious. The terrain here is indeed a little strange.”

“I don’t believe those guys from the Land of Origin team could have known that we would pass by this place in advance. We’ve only set off for a short while, so how could they know our route?”

“The three teams from the Land of Origin haven’t arrived at the earth attribute territory. It seems like we have a good chance this time.”

“Even if their main forces arrive at the first moment, they won’t be able to take down our temporary camp and destroy our core in time.”

“I have absolute trust in vice-captain Sun Wen’s defense, haha!”

…

Ye Yifan turned around and glanced at them. He said coldly, “Be serious. We are on a crucial mission. There can’t be any mistakes.”

“Yes!”

Ye Yifan and the others continued to venture deeper.

Not long after, a few figures suddenly rushed out from the front. It was Murong Xue leading over ten experts.

Murong Xue was leading the way, holding up a gigantic shield.

“Everyone, I hope you’ve been well. Where are you going?” Murong Xue laughed as she teased.

Chu Cunrui and others also helped to defend. They blocked the road, not allowing Ye Yifan and the others to pass.

They were all experts, and their numbers were even more than Ye Yifan’s group, at least twice as many as Ye Yifan’s group.

However, to be safe and not let any of the experts from the Red Star Empire team escape, Murong Xue and the others did not attack rashly. Instead, they blocked the path and stopped Ye Yifan’s group from advancing.

When Allen Smith and the others arrived, they could fight Ye Yifan and the other experts together. They could take Ye Yifan’s team down easily.

Ye Yifan saw Murong Xue and the others suddenly appear in front of them. Judging from their auras, Ye Yifan knew they were all experts. Their numbers were twice their own. Their expressions instantly changed.

“Don’t waste time fighting them. Turn around and leave!” Ye Yifan immediately ordered.

The other party was not weak and had twice as many people as them. They might not be able to defeat them.

Even if they could win, it would be meaningless. After all, Ye Yifan and the others’ mission was to rush to destroy the core of the fire attribute territory and eliminate the Land of Origin team.

Ye Yifan and the others immediately turned around and prepared to leave.

However, a few experts led by Allen Smith had surrounded them from behind!
