A bunch of arrogant bastards. They landed directly on the island, found the sacred site built specifically to enshrine the meteorite, and declared they wanted to take it away!
The people of the Holy Land were enraged and engaged in a fierce battle with those guys!
Those guys had guns and a variety of supernatural attacks. This caused some losses to the Holy Land. However, the Holy Land had many ancient martial arts masters, including Venerables and some old guys in the stewards, who were all top-tier experts. Therefore, after paying the price of dozens of lives, the Holy Land annihilated all the invaders! Their entire army was wiped out!
Soon, a second group of superhumans rushed onto the island to fight for the meteorite.
On the other side of the Holy Land, many disciples who died in battle had not yet been buried when another fierce battle broke out!
Under the diverse attacks of the superhumans, the Holy Land paid a heavy price this time before annihilating the enemy!
At this moment, in the plaza area where the meteorite was placed, hundreds of disciples of the Holy Land, their complexions listless and clearly having just gone through a fierce battle, sat cross-legged, secretly adjusting their breathing and recovering their inner strength.
Some of these disciples of the holy land were clearly injured, some had crippled limbs, and others had large areas of burns and frostbite on their skin... all of which were caused by attacks from superhumans.
Currently, the people of the Holy Land are unsure whether the enemies who stole the meteorite will land on the island again. Therefore, on the one hand, they are strengthening the island's defenses, and on the other hand, they are seizing every minute and second to meditate and regulate their breathing near the orange ore, using the energy emitted by the orange ore to nourish their injuries and restore their strength.
The Venerable One, too, sat cross-legged, seemingly unconcerned, his internal meridians circulating smoothly. In the two battles the Holy Land had experienced, the Venerable One, who hadn't fought in a long time, also participated. He killed over a dozen ability users, but his left arm was still injured in a lightning attack by an electric ability user. Therefore, the Holy Land's leader, the Venerable One, was currently also injured. He was quickly healing his wounds.
In other areas of the Holy Land, the uninjured Holy Land disciples, armed with weapons, patrolled various parts of the island with grim expressions.
On the hillside on one side of the island, some disciples of the Holy Land were carrying the bodies of their fellow disciples for burial.
Nearly 100 disciples of the Holy Land have lost their lives in these two battles. This is the most tragic price the Holy Land has ever paid since its founding!
A pall of gloom and despair has descended upon the sacred land!
…… …… ……
Gao Jianfei and his group were transported to the island of Sanctuary by a cargo ship under the supervision of a local FBI agent in Indonesia.
When the cargo ship was still some distance from the island...
"Wait." Gao Jianfei ordered the cargo ship to stop. Immediately, with a thought, a group of Level 1 ghosts surged out of the ghost lair, floating lightly across the water and landing directly on the island!
As is customary, Gao Jianfei first sent a group of level 1 ghosts to scout ahead.
Although Gao Jianfei was not afraid of the armed forces on the island, anticipating the enemy's moves was crucial. Moreover, this was an offensive battle, not a defensive one; therefore, given the opportunity, Gao Jianfei would inevitably try to ascertain the distribution of power among the island's defenders first.
A group of level 1 ghosts landed directly on the island. Gao Jianfei turned to Zhuo Xiaowei and said, "We'll wait a bit."
Zhuo Xiaowei showed complete obedience to Gao Jianfei. She directly told her 20 superhuman subordinates, "Everyone wait. From now on, all our actions will be under Mr. Gao's command."
The 20 superhumans were all momentarily stunned. When they left the base for this mission, James had warned them… to listen to Xiao Wei in everything and not to directly obey Gao Jianfei. This clearly showed that James still harbored doubts about Gao Jianfei.
Now, Xiao Wei has turned against them. However, the 20 superhumans wouldn't go against Xiao Wei's wishes. They all nodded. "Yes, Miss Zhuo."
Gao Jianfei stood on the deck, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.
Xiao Wei approached Gao Jianfei and smiled slightly. "Mr. Gao, I guess the reason you told the cargo ship not to approach that island for the time being is because... you wanted to probe the situation of the armed forces on that island first, right? However, I thought you would release those little birds that had defeated monsters, but I didn't expect... uh, Mr. Gao, it seems that you are a powerful person who has hidden many secrets."
"This woman is very perceptive," Gao Jianfei thought to himself, giving Xiao Wei a very high evaluation. He said calmly, "In short, I just don't want to avoid too many losses. I mean, I don't want you to suffer too many losses."
"Thank you, Mr. Gao." Xiao Wei nodded earnestly.
Not long after, a group of level 1 ghosts returned from the island, telling Gao Jianfei everything that had happened on the island...
"Xiao Gao! There are so many people on the island! They are mostly from China, of all ages, and there are some old men. They look terrifying, and their aura is terrifying."
"Xiao Gao, those Chinese people on the island seem to use only cold weapons like knives and guns. When they patrol, they also carry cold weapons, not firearms."
"Xiao Gao, those Chinese people are dressed so rusticly, it's like they're not wearing modern clothes, but rather clothes they spun, wove, and tailored themselves..."
"Xiao Gao, on our island, in a square, we saw a huge orange ore! That ore is more dazzling and beautiful than diamonds and pearls! It also exudes a very strange energy aura, even we ghosts can feel it! We feel that bathing in this energy aura would feel amazing! Very comfortable!"
...
The ghosts told Gao Jianfei the details of the island, including the number of defenders and the main defensive areas.
After listening to the Level 1 ghost's account, Gao Jianfei frowned slightly... Without a doubt, that large piece of orange ore was the orange ore the aliens wanted, and also the meteorite James desired. However, the island was inhabited entirely by Chinese people, armed with melee weapons and dressed in coarse linen clothing...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration entered Gao Jianfei's mind... Could this island be the legendary headquarters of the Holy Land?
The sacred place where Feng Haoyu and his group once learned their skills.
The Holy Land is already Gao Jianfei's mortal enemy! However, Gao Jianfei has not investigated the location of the Holy Land, only guessing that it should be in Asia.
Now, on an unnamed island in Indonesia, the archipelago nation, a large number of Chinese people, armed with melee weapons and dressed in strange attire, have appeared. Moreover, these Chinese people have resisted two attacks by James's groups of superhumans!
You should know that in this world, the only ones who can defeat superhumans are probably high-level ancient martial arts experts!
“Actually, I should have thought of this problem a long time ago!” Gao Jianfei couldn’t help but blurt out.
Standing beside him, Xiao Wei asked with a puzzled look, "Mr. Gao, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Gao Jianfei quickly suppressed his surprise. Inwardly, however, he was overjoyed… Great! This time, I've killed two birds with one stone! Originally, I was going to help the aliens find that orange ore, and I also wanted to find an opportunity to destroy the Holy Land to prevent future troubles. Now that the two things have come together, I'll just do them all at once!
“Alright, Miss Zhuo, we will land on the island from the northwest,” Gao Jianfei said slowly. “I will guide you in the right direction to avoid being discovered by the enemy immediately after landing.”
"Mr. Gao, do you already know the defense distribution on the island...?" Xiao Wei said incredulously. After a pause, she said, "Yes, Mr. Gao, I'll do whatever you say."
The cargo ship slowly started up and, following Gao Jianfei's directions, gradually approached the island.
When the cargo ship was less than a nautical mile from the island, suddenly, the voice of the intelligent program rang in Gao Jianfei's ears... "Dear user, the software has detected a mysterious energy source! You are approaching this energy source! This energy source can prompt your Super Ghost Device to upgrade and modify! Please obtain this energy source!"
"Um?"
Gao Jianfei's heart tightened... No way? Could it be orange ore? Could orange ore modify my Super Ghost Device?
Xiao Wei noticed that Gao Jianfei's expression changed again. Being cautious, she didn't directly question Gao Jianfei, but instead carefully observed his every instruction and command.
Soon, guided by Gao Jianfei, the cargo ship arrived at the northwest side of the island. From this vantage point, there were no defenders visible on the island—a blind spot within the island's defensive perimeter!
This is a bumpy, swamp-like area.
"Land on the island!" Gao Jianfei exclaimed in a low voice. While sending out a group of level 1 ghosts to scout ahead, he used his lightness skill to gracefully land on the island.
Chapter 553 Since you're here, come out!
Chapter 553 Since you're here, come out!
Gao Jianfei used his lightness skill to land directly on the island, stepping onto a muddy swamp. At Zhuo Xiaowei's signal, the 20 ability users also carefully made their way onto the muddy swamp. Gao Jianfei, with his lightness skill, stepped onto the swamp as lightly as a feather, naturally without worrying about sinking. The ability users, however, were in a sorry state, scrambling and tumbling as they quickly left the swamp.
Gao Jianfei, on the other hand, crossed the swamp area with lightness and grace.
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei, Zhuo Xiaowei, and 20 other superhumans crossed the swamp area. They found themselves at the foot of a small mountain. A crescent moon hung in the night sky, and stars twinkled, casting soft glows across the island… the sacred ground.
The group quickly made their way to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. Several level 1 ghosts relayed a message: "Dear Xiao Gao, after passing through this dense forest, walk east for about ten meters, and then go around the small hill, there is no one guarding it."
“Alright, you guys continue exploring.” Gao Jianfei communicated with the Level 1 ghost using his consciousness.
At this moment, all the superhumans, including Xiao Wei, looked at Gao Jianfei. In fact, after entering the island, everyone except Gao Jianfei was extremely uneasy. After all, two groups of superhumans under James's command had perished on this island, which was enough to demonstrate the island's formidable and robust defenses.
Now that everyone has arrived on this island, their fate is uncertain! However, the only thing that can give everyone a little peace of mind is Gao Jianfei's calm and composed expression. Therefore, everyone unanimously looks at Gao Jianfei, appearing completely subservient to him.
"Huh?" Zhuo Xiaowei whispered at this moment. "Mr. Gao, after stepping onto this island, I seem to have sensed some very strange energy fluctuations..."
Upon hearing this, the other superhumans all nodded in agreement.
In fact, although Gao Jianfei was not a superhuman, he was a master of ancient martial arts. When he set foot on the island, the energy fluctuations he felt were even stronger than those of these superhumans! The internal energy dormant in his dantian seemed to be stimulated by some special energy, surging and undulating.
"It seems that orange ore actually has some inexplicable benefits for ancient martial arts practitioners!" Gao Jianfei suddenly realized. No wonder the level 1 ghosts who went to scout the island reported that a large number of holy land personnel were sitting cross-legged around the orange ore, meditating. It turns out they were using the orange ore to regulate their breathing!
"Alright, everyone, don't worry about anything else for now, follow me. Remember, stick close to me." Gao Jianfei gave these instructions, then headed directly towards the eastern edge of the jungle. The group naturally followed Gao Jianfei and dared not wander off.
Guided by the Level 1 Ghost scout, Gao Jianfei wandered left and right, turning east and west, sometimes crossing streams, sometimes passing through forests, strangely traversing the island... In fact, these paths were areas that the Level 1 Ghost had observed and determined were not patrolled by the Holy Land's forces.
After walking for about two hours, everyone felt that the special energy flowing over the island was becoming increasingly intense! Meanwhile, a Level 1 Ghost reported to Gao Jianfei, "Respected Xiao Gao, there is a plaza around the next bend. However, no matter which direction you take to get to the plaza, you will encounter enemy guards. If you take the left path, the number of enemy guards will be smaller, with only 8 guards."
At the same time, the intelligent program reminded Gao Jianfei, "Dear user, you are very close to the energy source! Please be sure to acquire the energy source!"
Gao Jianfei touched his nose and turned to Zhuo Xiaowei and the others, saying, "Listen up, everyone. If we go down this path on the left, we'll encounter eight guards. What we need to do is take them down without revealing ourselves!" After a pause, Gao Jianfei continued, "Tell me about your abilities. I'll select a few of you to work with me to silently eliminate those eight guards."
After saying this, the ability users exchanged glances, a sense of distrust creeping in. Xiao Wei was the first to speak up, "I'm an ice-type ability user; I can fire ice spikes and ice arrows."
After saying that, she sternly addressed the other ability users, "The island is dangerous. We must listen carefully to every word Mr. Gao says! Tell us about your abilities."
This left the other ability users speechless, and they all began to recount their respective special abilities.
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei selected three superhumans to work with him to take down the eight guards of the Holy Land.
Xiao Wei is one of them; she can launch several ice spikes at the same time, which are very powerful.
There is also a gravity ability user who can instantly create several tons of oppressive gravity within a certain area; and a remaining ability user who can unleash wind blades.
After selecting the right people, Gao Jianfei led the group and carefully made their way towards the path on the left.
After walking about a hundred meters, an intersection appeared in everyone's sight, where eight people holding steel knives were loitering.
Orange light seeped in from the plaza outside the intersection, turning the intersection a warm orange color.
"Prepare to attack!" Gao Jianfei channeled his inner energy into his legs, and then... "Kill!"
"call out!"
Gao Jianfei used his lightness skill to rush directly towards the eight guards at the intersection!
At the same time, five ice spikes shot out instantly, aiming at one of the guards!
Four wind blades pierced towards the other guard!
Where two guards stood, the air suddenly became heavy. The two guards trembled, trying to speak, but unable to utter a word. Their clothes began to tear, and blood began to seep from their noses, mouths, and ears... Gravity! Caught completely off guard, they were subjected to a gravitational pressure of several tons, and had already suffered internal injuries!
As these attacks came crashing down at the same time, Gao Jianfei had already sprinted to an area less than 10 meters away from the eight guards!
One guard was impaled to death by an ice spike; another was sliced into pieces by wind blades; and two more guards were crushed by gravity into near-wooden statues...
Gao Jianfei directly used his One-Finger Divine Skill to strike the remaining four guards from a distance!
After absorbing Hong Qigong's martial arts cultivation, this finger technique is highly lethal, has a wide range of effects, and is very fast!
In the blink of an eye, all four guards were killed by Gao Jianfei's finger force, which pierced their skulls!
After taking down four guards, Gao Jianfei quickly added a finger to the forehead of the other four guards, making a total of eight guards completely dead!
At this moment, Gao Jianfei turned around and gestured to Xiao Wei and the others, indicating that they should slowly walk over.
After witnessing Gao Jianfei's exceptional killing skills and efficiency, these superhumans were all dumbfounded and obediently approached him.
After everyone gathered together, they held their breath and walked towards the intersection that had been painted orange.
After taking a few steps, Gao Jianfei darted to the side of the stone wall and looked out towards the direction beyond the intersection... He saw a square about 30 meters ahead.
In the vast plaza, there was an equally enormous orange ore embedded within it!
This orange ore is crystal clear, with a bright orange glow flowing across its surface, and a misty aura surrounding it, dazzling to the eye.
A mysterious aura emanated from the orange ore.
