Chapter 151 Two Slaps
In the square of the South Mountain Base, the sudden appearance of a massive Pangolin Beast corpse attracted many martial artists in the base.
“Isn’t that the corpse of a Pangolin Beast? It doesn’t look like an ordinary Pangolin Beast.”
“Of course it’s not an ordinary Pangolin Beast. Have you ever seen an ordinary Pangolin Beast so massive? If I’m not wrong, it’s a demon!”
“What, a demon? Didn’t the base order us not to provoke and hunt Pangolin Beasts at will anymore?”
“I heard that Captain Chen Xue personally hunted and killed it…”
Discussions abounded among numerous martial artists. The corpse of a Pangolin Beast, and a demon at that, was enough of a topic. The fact that it was related to Chen Xue was only more attention-grabbing.
Everyone knew that Chen Xue was a “war advocate” in the base, and she was rather insane about it. Although most people did not agree with Chen Xue’s idea, there were also some who were willing to follow her.
Therefore, Chen Xue still had a certain degree of influence in the South Mountain Base.
Actually, it wasn’t just the ordinary martial artists. Many inhuman experts were also attracted by Chen Xue’s action. They all frowned. What was Chen Xue trying to do?
She was so high-profile and had violated Lu Wei’s order from back then. Although there was a new Chief Commander now, with the new Chief Commander not abolishing this order, Chen Xue was violating the base’s order by doing so.
The consequences were dire!
Chen Xue suddenly jumped onto the Pangolin Beast’s corpse and said to the surrounding martial artists, “Some people think that the Pangolin Beasts are very powerful, and that we can’t defeat them. But what is this corpse now? It’s a Pangolin Beast, and a demon at that! Is it very powerful? I’ve already killed it. How strong can Pangolin Beasts be?”
“Some people were scared out of their wits by the previous defeat and felt that we cannot defeat the Pangolin Beasts. However, didn’t those Pangolin Beasts suffer heavy losses the last time as well? As long as we work harder and kill more Pangolin Beasts, we might be able to completely eradicate those Pangolin Beasts. Isn’t this the purpose of our South Mountain Base?”
“Commander Zhou Yun led us into the lair of the Pangolin Beasts precisely for this goal. We were just a little bit away from success. Everyone, don’t be frightened of the Pangolin Beasts. They’re not frightening!”
With Chen Xue’s loud “call to arms”, the passion of many martial artists surged for a time. Gradually, some supporters for Chen Xue appeared.
“Chen Xue, what are you doing?”
Suddenly, a loud shout sounded out from afar, and it was obviously filled with suppressed rage.
It was Lu Wei. Beside him was Lin Feng, the new Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base!
Many martial artists in the South Mountain Base had already heard of Lin Feng’s name. The appearance of the new policy for martial artists was inextricably linked to Lin Feng.
However, after Lin Feng arrived at the South Mountain Base, apart from the inspection for the first three days , he had spent the rest of his time in seclusion. Many martial artists in the base had not even seen Lin Feng.
At this moment, Lin Feng had finally appeared. This also made many people curious.
Lu Wei, on the other hand, was furious. He came before the corpse of the Pangolin Beast and shouted, “Chen Xue, are you insane? Get down quickly!” Chen Xue’s words just now were completely against the base’s orders.
Lin Feng frowned as well. Initially, he had felt some sympathy for Chen Xue’s plight. However, he was a little impatient now. He was even considering Lu Wei’s suggestion. Should he really transfer Chen Xue away?
Chen Xue glanced at Lu Wei before finally turning her gaze to Lin Feng. She said coldly, “Chief Commander, so you’re finally willing to come out. You’ve never seen a Pangolin Beast before, have you? Actually, it’s not as terrifying as you imagine. Look, didn’t I just kill a Pangolin Beast with ease?”
Seeing that Lin Feng remained silent, Chen Xue continued, “Chief Commander, I think we can take advantage of this moment to try attacking the Pangolin Beasts. We might have suffered heavy losses last time, but didn’t those Pangolin Beasts suffer heavy losses as well? As long as we take the initiative to attack, we’ll definitely be able to completely destroy the nest of the Pangolin Beasts!”
Everyone looked at Lin Feng. Even though Lu Wei was very anxious, while Lin Feng had not expressed a stand, he could only hold it in.
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. For the first time, he asked, “Captain Chen Xue, you advocate taking the initiative to attack. Do you know the exact number of Pangolin Beasts? How many demons are there in the Pangolin Beasts’ Lair? What if that demon general in the Pangolin Beast’s lair attacks again? Have you considered all of this?”
The sharp, consecutive questions from Lin Feng made Chen Xue’s gaze slightly flustered.
“That demon general was injured last time and didn’t dare to come out at all. Moreover, so what if there are many Pangolin Beasts? There are so many martial artists in our South Mountain Base. Why should we be afraid of those Pangolin Beasts? As for how many demons there are in the Pangolin Beasts’ lair, that’s not a big deal at all. Last time, Brother Zhou led people into the lair and dealt those demons a heavy blow. We have a very good chance this time. We’ll definitely be able to annihilate the remaining Pangolin Beasts once and for all.”
Lin Feng’s gaze turned cold. He also felt that this woman had gone insane.
“But Zhou Yun failed the last time!”
“No, who said that Brother Zhou failed? Brother Zhou dealt those Pangolin Beasts a heavy blow. He’s created an opportunity for us. It’s just that you’re all too timid and cowardly. If you won’t go, I’ll go myself!”
When Chen Xue heard Lin Feng mention Zhou Yun’s failure, it was as if she immediately went insane. Even the Astral Power in her body was a little unstable.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, before anyone could see clearly, a figure appeared in front of Chen Xue abruptly. Like a phantom, its speed was incredible.
Slap.
A crisp sound rang out clearly in everyone’s ears.
Many martial artists took a longer look and realized that it was Lin Feng. He had stretched out his palm and slapped Chen Xue hard across the face. For a moment, everyone seemed to be in a daze, stunned on the spot.
“You…”
Chen Xue also seemed to be in disbelief. She had actually been slapped in public, and by the new Chief Commander no less. Lin Feng, who was timid and cowardly in her eyes, had slapped her.
This was a great humiliation!
Boom.
Chen Xue erupted. At this moment, she had thoroughly lost her mind. The 99 strands of Astral Power in her body erupted completely. She went completely berserk like a dire beast.
“What right do you have to hit me? Even Brother Zhou couldn’t bear to hit me. What right do you have to hit me?!”
Slap.
Another crisp sound rang out. Chen Xue, who had unleashed 99 strands of Astral Power, seemed to be stunned.
She had been struck again, and it was another slap. The 99 traces of Astral Power in her body completely erupted, but it seemed to be useless in front of Lin Feng. Lin Feng’s palm still passed through the Astral Power and landed hard on her face.
For a moment, even the inhuman experts at the base gasped, as if they could not believe the reality before their eyes.
Lin Feng had actually slapped Chen Xue twice in a row?
