Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Journey to the Border (Please Recommend and Bookmark)
Five days later, Ye Chenfeng took a flight to the city closest to the border. Since he was going to search for the Yun Teng Mushroom in the Primeval Forest, he had to make a trip to Tie Niu’s home first. After all, Tie Niu had given him an address, because the Primeval Forest was so vast that searching alone could take forever.
However, when Ye Chenfeng tried to hail a taxi, the drivers all refused to take him once they heard his destination. The reason was simple: Tie Niu’s home, Xiyuan Town, was located on the edge of the Primeval Forest. The roads leading to Xiyuan Town were extremely difficult to navigate, and the area on the edge of the Primeval Forest was lawless, with the potential of robbers appearing at any time. The drivers were not willing to risk so much for a small fare.
This put Ye Chenfeng in a bind—if he had to walk to Xiyuan Town, it would take at least ten hours! Ye Chenfeng stood on the bustling street when he suddenly saw around the corner five shady-looking men with knives surrounding a middle-aged man, whose face was filled with panic.
It seemed that the security in the city closest to the border was indeed poor. Dare they commit robbery in broad daylight? Were the police here just loafing on the job? Had the country really raised a bunch of good-for-nothings?
"Kid, what are you looking at? Scram!", a robber from around the corner noticed Ye Chenfeng watching them and threatened.
Because he sustained serious injuries to his hands in a battle with a man in black five days ago, including some broken bones, Ye Chenfeng had been treating himself continuously. However, his hands were still wrapped in white bandages at that moment!
The five robbers saw Ye Chenfeng’s cowardly appearance and naturally categorized him as a weakling.
Ye Chenfeng was not one to meddle in others’ affairs, but the robber’s words had hit a sore spot. Already upset about not being able to catch a taxi, he mockingly asked, "And what if I keep looking?"
"Hey, today we’ve encountered a real piece of work, haven’t you seen what we’re holding in our hands?", the man who had threatened him approached Ye Chenfeng, brandishing the sharp knife and looking contemptuous.
With a "bang", Ye Chenfeng kicked the man in the stomach, controlling the force perfectly so as not to send the man flying.
The man bent over like a cooked shrimp, constantly vomiting, as if trying to empty his entire stomach.
His four accomplices who had been eager to watch the scene unfold didn’t expect this turn of events. It took them a moment to react before yelling, "Brothers, let’s gang up on and kill this brat!"
The commotion drew the attention of other pedestrians on the street, but no one stepped forward to help, and no one even gathered to watch. Such incidents were so common here that the city’s residents had grown accustomed to them.
The middle-aged man who had been encircled wore a look of bewildered alarm; he had thought that he would not escape his fate today, but who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would appear out of nowhere?
While the middle-aged man stood there in shock, four men with knives closed in on Ye Chenfeng. The knives stabbed from four different directions, and to onlookers, it seemed certain that Ye Chenfeng was going to get hurt—he couldn’t possibly dodge such an attack.
But an astonishing thing happened. Ye Chenfeng pushed off the ground and leaped two meters into the air. With a 360-degree sweeping kick, he struck the faces of the four men.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack—"
The faint sound of bones breaking echoed in the air, and the four men were undoubtedly sent flying. Their facial bones were deformed, their noses caved in, and they cried out in agony.
This time, they realized they had kicked an iron plate. The seemingly harmless young man in front of them was actually trained in martial arts, wasn’t he? Each of them mentally wailed.
"I have eyes on my own face, I’ll look at whatever I want. Do you have any problem with that now?" Ye Chenfeng really had no interest in arguing with such petty thugs.
The five men who were just now full of bluster shook their heads repeatedly, mumbling indistinctly, "We have no objections, we have no objections. Whatever you want to look at, go ahead. Even if you wanted to see our own mothers’ bodies, we wouldn’t dare object anymore."
After saying that, the five men helped each other and stumbled away from the scene. They didn’t want to get kicked by Ye Chenfeng again; wouldn’t they lose their lives at that point?
With a bitter smile towards the nonsense of the five men, Ye Chenfeng thought, who would want to see their old mothers’ bodies? He was truly afraid that if he did, he’d end up with an eye full of needles!
As the five men left, the street returned to its usual state. There wasn’t even a kind soul who called the police. The public security here was terrible, and it seemed the quality of the citizens had deteriorated as well.
"Young brother, thanks for helping me out just now. Can I treat you to a meal?" A very refined-looking middle-aged man stepped forward and asked.
Ye Chenfeng had no interest in lingering here. He needed to find a taxi to take him to Xiyuan Town! So he casually refused, "There’s nothing to thank me for; it was just a small convenience for me. I still have things to do!"
The middle-aged man paused briefly before continuing, "Pardon my abruptness, but may I ask what urgent matter you have? I wonder if I can be of any help?"
Right! The middle-aged man in front of him looked like a businessman, perhaps even a local? If the other party had a car and could take him to Xiyuan Town, that would solve his problem!
"I need to go to Xiyuan Town, but there’s no taxi willing to go there," Ye Chenfeng said straightforwardly.
"Xiyuan Town? Young brother, Xiyuan Town has not been peaceful lately! What are you going there for?" The middle-aged man’s concern showed on his face when he heard Ye Chenfeng was going to Xiyuan Town.
"I’m going to visit a friend, and also have some matters to attend to," Ye Chenfeng vaguely explained.
After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man finally said, "Young brother, since you’ve just helped me out, I’ll take you to Xiyuan Town myself! With your skills, you shouldn’t have any problems there." The middle-aged man seemed to have struggled considerably internally before making such an offer.
Seeing that the other party was willing to take him to Xiyuan Town, Ye Chenfeng wasn’t one to fuss. After all, he was urgently looking to enhance his strength and, by getting to Tie Niu’s home sooner, he could find out the exact location of the Yun Teng Mushroom in the Primeval Forest sooner.
