Chapter 555: Chapter 528 Again, the mouth is cheap...

"Awoooo—"

As Li Chen’s footsteps neared, the wolf pack started to become restless, as if they sensed a threat. They seemed to want to attack but also hesitated.

At this moment, almost everyone noticed that the wolves’ retreat was due to Li Chen’s advancing steps.

"Brother Chen he..."

"Shh! Don’t make a sound, if Brother Chen dares to step forward, he surely has a way; let’s not disturb him!"

After advancing a few steps, Li Chen’s pace showed no sign of stopping.

Instead, he continued walking towards the wolf pack.

"Umm—"

From within the wolf pack, a muffled growl could be heard. Anyone who had ever heard a dog bark would know this was a threat to an enemy.

And indeed, that muffled throat vibration had a strong sense of deterrence.

But Li Chen, as if he didn’t hear it, continued moving forward.

The wolf pack became increasingly agitated.

One step back, then another!

Finally, when there was no space left to retreat, a giant wolf at the forefront of the pack, nearly two meters long, roared at Li Chen and charged at him first.

Animals are naturally more sensitive than humans, and from Li Chen, they felt an intense threat. Even their bodies involuntarily stepped back, as if an attack from them would undoubtedly lead to certain death.

However, it was the leader of the pack. The other wolves could retreat, but it could not.

As an example, it had to charge first because if it didn’t, the others would surely not willingly face death.

Right, it was a suicide mission!

It could sense that this human possessed the power to easily kill them, but still, it had no choice but to attack.

Because it was compelled.

"ROAR!!"

With the lead wolf’s charge, the entire wolf pack launched their attack in an instant.

Over a dozen wolves lunged at Li Chen at the same time.

"Brother Chen!!"

Behind Li Chen, a group of university students couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

In their minds, Li Chen was just expected to use some special method to disperse the wolves, but they never imagined he would actually fight the wolf pack.

Yet, the battle not only occurred, but it also ended swiftly.

One punch.

BANG!!!

The nearly two-meter-long giant wolf’s head was instantly smashed into a pulp by Li Chen’s punch.

Its claws hadn’t even touched Li Chen before they were instantly blown apart.

And the other wolves that pounced were all sent flying with a single sweep of Li Chen’s leg.

A series of bone-chilling sounds of bones breaking echoed.

In the pack, cries of pain could be heard.

From the start to the end of the battle, it lasted merely under two minutes.

Yet, in those two minutes, the wolf pack seemed to have received a tremendous scare and ran away with their tails between their legs.

Soon after, the wolves vanished from everyone’s sight.

In this dilapidated little hotel, only the bodies of wolves that could no longer stand remained.

All the wolves that could still move had fled.

And at this moment, everyone inside the hotel had their mouths agape, looking towards Li Chen with faces as if they had seen a ghost.

"Click." One male student even dislocated his jaw from opening his mouth too wide and took a while before he tearfully managed to pop his jaw back into place.

At that time, many people outside had also realized, the retreat of the wolves originated from this very hotel.

When the people in the village saw the body of the leader wolf and Li Chen’s blood-stained fists, and after they heard the owner of the inn recount what had just happened, they cast reverential glances toward Li Chen.

To the villagers, wolves were synonymous with disaster, but today, someone had killed the leader wolf and dispersed the entire pack with his own power.

For them, it was like something out of a dream.

"Brother Chen!!"

At that moment, a group of college students seemed to snap out of their daze and rushed toward Li Chen, shouting loudly.

Among them, the young man who had said earlier that he wanted to learn medical skills from Li Chen shouted the loudest, "Brother Chen, I’m so in awe of you. I never expected you to be so skilled in medicine and even Kung Fu! From today, you’re my idol!"

Li Chen glanced at the group with some surprise, "It’s all over now. It’s late; everyone should go to sleep. I need to rest too."

After speaking, Li Chen turned and left.

His intuition told him that there was something unusual about tonight’s wolf pack attack.

"Could it be man-made? But who could control a wolf pack?" After pondering for a while, Li Chen shook his head and returned to his room.

"Hey, have you noticed? Brother Chen looks somewhat familiar..." a female student suddenly spoke up.

With that remark, another person chimed in, "Now that you mention it, he does seem familiar."

"Do you remember some time ago, there was a Martial Arts Troupe that came to our Huaxia, acting all arrogant and killed many of our people!"

"That’s right! I remember now! It was him, no doubt, it was Brother Chen!"

"So Brother Chen is that Huaxia hero, no wonder he’s so incredible!"

The group chatted and decided not to disturb Li Chen any further, turning to return to their own rooms.

For them, the events of today were simply too thrilling. If it weren’t for Li Chen being there, they likely would have been wolf fodder by now.

Everyone was also tired, and once the excitement wore off, they were incredibly sleepy. Many even forgot to chat that night and fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed.

Late at night, Li Chen stepped out of his room.

For some reason, he felt that something was amiss.

So, he decided to venture out alone for a look.

With his capabilities, even the most dangerous places he had been to before. A mere deep mountain could not trouble him.

"..."

"What’s that noise?"

Just as he stepped out, Li Chen heard a strange sound like flowing water.

The village nights were profoundly quiet and Li Chen’s hearing exceptional, so naturally, he could not miss such a sound.

Following the noise, Li Chen moved cautiously towards its source.

Suddenly, the water sound stopped, and then Li Chen heard footsteps coming from around the corner of a wall.

Li Chen didn’t rush but waited quietly instead.

Not until the footsteps neared did Li Chen suddenly burst out, reaching out swiftly to grasp the other person’s neck in an instant.

"Mmph..." Suddenly choked, the person faced terror, intending to yell out, but Li Chen’s hand relaxed instantly, then covered the other’s mouth.

Seeing Zhang Jing, Li Chen’s face turned a bit sheepish, "Uh, sorry about that, I thought you were a bad person."

Zhang Jing looked at Li Chen with wide eyes but couldn’t say anything.

"Uh, I’ll let go now, but please don’t scream, okay?" Li Chen said with a cough.

Zhang Jing nodded.

When Li Chen let go, Zhang Jing looked a bit pale, seemingly still startled from the incident.

"Were you just going to the bathroom?" Li Chen remembered the earlier sound and asked with some curiosity.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhang Jing’s already pale face flushed instantly.

Through the dim light, Li Chen could even see the redness spreading to Jingjing’s ears.

"Damn, my mouth again!"

Li Chen wished he could slap himself.
