Chapter 1345
A fearful sound rose from his throat
Outside the door, Luo Fei seemed oblivious to the commotion and worry behind him. He waved to the three people still kneeling on the ground, his tone calm yet carrying an unquestionable command.
"Step back a bit, don't get in my way."
Long Yuxuan and his two companions felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They quickly crawled backward a few steps, clinging tightly to the cold iron door, placing all their hopes on the tall figure in front of them.
Luo Fei stood alone between the three and the horde of beasts. In the hazy night and the faint light emanating from the distant base, his figure appeared somewhat aloof and... domineering.
"Roar!"
Perhaps it was Luo Fei's composure that angered the beasts, or perhaps the stimulation of the bloody smell overcame their fear of Luo Fei's arrival just moments before.
The most ferocious tiger could no longer contain itself. With a roar, it slammed its hind legs into the ground, its massive body shooting forward like an arrow, carrying a stench, and pounced straight at Luo Fei! Its gaping maw was wide enough to easily crush cow bones!
Faced with this attack that would terrify most people, Luo Fei didn't even change his posture much; he simply curled the corner of his mouth slightly upward, revealing a mocking smile.
Just as the tiger's claws were about to touch his head, Luo Fei moved!
With a seemingly casual push off the ground, his body defied the laws of physics, suddenly leaping into the air and spinning in an extremely elegant and fluid motion!
360 degrees! A perfect backspin kick!
His right leg, which looked no different from that of an ordinary person, drew a sharp arc in the air, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, and struck the side of the tiger's huge head with perfect accuracy and force!
"Bang!!!"
A dull thud, like a heavy hammer striking thick leather!
What happened next nearly made everyone peeking through the crack in the door, as well as Long Yuxuan and his two companions who were standing close to the iron gate, stare in disbelief!
The adult tiger, which weighed well over 400-500 pounds, was sent flying sideways by Luo Fei's seemingly casual kick!
Like a tattered sack that had been flung away, it tumbled through the air, covering a distance of four or five meters, before crashing heavily against a large tree on the opposite side with a loud "boom," sending leaves flying everywhere!
After the tiger landed, it struggled to stand up, but its limbs were as if it were drunk and wouldn't obey its commands, and its huge head swayed dizzily.
Its eyes, which were originally filled with violent and murderous intent, became dull and lifeless. It seemed to want to bare its teeth in Luo Fei's direction, but when it opened its mouth, it could not make a decent roar and could only let out a "hoarse" sound.
It managed to take two steps forward with difficulty, its steps unsteady and swaying, like a drunkard.
Then, under the incredulous gazes of everyone, this overlord of the mountains ultimately could not withstand Luo Fei's kick, which contained terrifying power.
With a loud thud, he fell to the ground again, his limbs twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving—he had been knocked out with a single kick!
Silence! Deathly silence!
The gasps from behind the door abruptly ceased, and the three of them seemed to stop breathing.
One kick! Just one kick! Bare-handed! Kicked a fully grown Siberian tiger unconscious?!
The force contained in that kick probably exceeds 800 kilograms!
What terrifying leg strength!
However, the ferocity of the beast was beyond imagination. The fall of their companion did not deter the other two tigers; instead, it enraged them completely!
Almost simultaneously, the two tigers roared angrily and pounced on Luo Fei from the left and right, like two heavy tanks driving side by side, blocking his space to dodge!
Faced with this siege that could have driven any expert to the brink of defeat, Luo Fei's expression remained completely calm.
He pushed off lightly with his feet again, and this time, his body seemed to lose its weight, soaring into the air. This leap lifted him more than ten meters higher!
He easily and effortlessly evaded the two tigers' determined pounce!
The two tigers pounced and missed, the huge momentum sending them flying several meters before they came to a stop. They looked up blankly at Luo Fei, who was suspended in mid-air. Their huge tiger eyes even showed a hint of confusion and bewilderment, as if they were human – how could this “two-legged beast” fly?
While they were still in a daze, Luo Fei moved high in the sky!
He fell headfirst, like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, or like a meteor falling to earth, shooting backward at a speed even faster than when he was rising!
During the fall, he spread his palms apart, palms down, and seemingly casually patted the tops of the two tigers' heads!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Two muffled thuds, like the gentle tapping of a ripe watermelon, rang out almost simultaneously.
Luo Fei landed as lightly as a willow catkin, without even stirring up a speck of dust.
The two tigers remained frozen in place, gazing at the sky. After several seconds, their massive bodies began to sway and their limbs went limp. Finally, with two loud thuds, they collapsed to the ground, blood slowly seeping from their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears. It was clear they were beyond saving.
Luo Fei actually shattered the incredibly hard skulls of two adult tigers with just one palm strike! And judging from his calm and composed demeanor, it was as if he had casually swatted two flies, without even using his full strength!
He previously said he only used 30% of his power, and it seems that he was not lying!
In the blink of an eye, two of the three most threatening tigers were dead and one was unconscious!
Luo Fei's gaze then calmly turned to the dozen or so jackals that had been surrounding them, ready to pounce.
These jackals were smaller than ordinary wolves, but their eyes were more cunning and sharp. They did not seem to be much afraid of Luo Fei's instant defeat of the three tigers. The ferocity in their eyes remained undiminished. Under the signal of the wolf leader, they moved slowly, surrounding Luo Fei, baring their pale fangs, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Looking at these ignorant beasts, Luo Fei's mocking smile reappeared.
This time, he didn't even wait for them to make the first move.
He moved! His figure was like a ghost as he charged into the wolf pack!
There are no fancy moves, only the simplest and most direct attack—legs!
His long legs moved rapidly through the air, leaving afterimages as if seven or eight legs were attacking at the same time!
"boom!"
"Awooo—!"
"Snapped!"
"Waaaaah—!"
With a series of muffled thuds and the jackals' shrill screams, the jackals that tried to pounce were all sent flying backwards as if hit by a speeding car!
What's even stranger is that they all flew in the same direction, heading towards the trunk of a large tree that takes two people to hug, which is more than ten meters away!
"boom!"
"Snapped!"
"Boom!"
Like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, these jackals crashed one after another into the thick tree trunk, making dull thuds, and then slid limply to the ground, some with broken bones and tendons, others simply unconscious, piling up haphazardly under the tree!
Luo Fei was clearly treating these ferocious jackals as a football and that big tree as a goal, conducting a one-sided "penalty kick" practice!
The remaining two or three jackals, who had been too cowardly to attack from the back, finally succumbed to their survival instincts when they witnessed this terrifying scene.
They stared at the human who stood there like a demon, growling in fear. With their tails between their legs, they turned and fled without hesitation, disappearing into the dark jungle in an instant. The other gray wolves, who had been watching, also immediately followed suit in a panicked escape.
In the blink of an eye, the once ferocious and seemingly invincible beast horde was reduced to dead, wounded, or fled, leaving only Luo Fei standing alone amidst the chaos and carcasses of wild animals.
Luo Fei acted as if he had done something insignificant, gently patting the non-existent leaf on his combat uniform before turning around leisurely.
His gaze fell on the faces of Long Yuxuan, Xiao Muyang, and Xie Feiyu, who were still leaning against the iron gate, their mouths agape, their eyes filled with unparalleled shock, awe, and a fanatical worship as if they had witnessed a miracle.
Seeing their stunned expressions, as if they had witnessed the true form of "Shakyamuni" descending, Luo Fei couldn't help but grin, revealing two rows of clean, even teeth that stood out prominently in the night.
"How was it, young masters? Was this show entertaining enough?"
Luo Fei's teasing question exploded in the minds of Long Yuxuan and the other two like a thunderclap, jolting them out of their extreme shock and daze.
"Enough...enough to see! More than enough to see!"
Long Yuxuan was the first to react, his tongue almost tied in knots. He nodded hastily, his eyes filled with unprecedented awe as he looked at Luo Fei. His previous resentment and arrogance had long been forgotten.
Xiao Muyang and Xie Feiyu nodded like chickens pecking at rice, unable to utter a single word, only staring intently at Luo Fei with eyes that seemed to regard him as a god.
Just then.
With a heavy creak, the thick iron door behind them, which had been tightly closed and seemed to isolate them from life and death, was finally slowly pushed open from the inside, creating a gap large enough for several people to pass through.
The Ghost Team, members of the Special Case Team, and young members of the Sky Secrets Team, who had been waiting behind the door, surged out like a tide.
When they stepped outside and saw the scene before them, everyone froze in place as if under a spell, gasping for breath in unison!
The area in front of the gate was a mess, with craters and claw marks on the ground. Three huge tigers lay there motionless, two of them bleeding from their mouths and noses, clearly dead, while the third was still breathing but unconscious.
Scattered nearby were the carcasses of seven or eight jackals, as well as the black bear that had been stunned by Xie Feiyu's shockwave and then finished off with a single blow. The strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air, silently testifying to the ferocity and... one-sidedness of the battle.
Luo Fei, who had orchestrated all of this, stood there calmly, his breathing perfectly steady, as if he had simply gone out for a walk.
Luo Fei's gaze swept over the tiger and black bear carcasses on the ground. He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, seemingly somewhat annoyed.
"Tsk, this is a bit troublesome. Killing or injuring so many Class I and Class II protected animals at once, I hope I won't have to write a self-criticism or even go to jail?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Upon hearing this, Long Yuxuan, Xiao Muyang, and Xie Feiyu, who had just been helped up by their companions, were jolted awake. Ignoring their pain and disheveled state, they helped each other and staggered to Luo Fei. Then, in unison, they used all their strength to give Luo Fei a perfect 90-degree bow!
"Captain Luo! Thank you! Thank you for saving my life!"
Long Yuxuan's voice was choked with emotion and lingering fear. This time, his gratitude was countless times more sincere than his previous pleas for survival.
"Captain Luo! If it weren't for you, the three of us would definitely be food for the wild beasts tonight!"
Xiao Muyang also spoke with red eyes.
"I can't thank you enough! From now on, my life, Xie Feiyu's life, was saved by you, Captain Luo!"
Xie Feiyu pounded his chest and said excitedly.
Looking at the three young men who seemed to have been pulled out of a pool of blood and were extremely respectful to him, Luo Fei remained expressionless, simply waving his hand and speaking in a calm tone.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Go back and treat your wounds, get some rest. I'll report the situation with those big cats and bears to my superiors and then we'll see how to handle it."
If I don't have to go to jail...
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the three faces, before continuing.
"I will arrange a helicopter as soon as possible to take the three of you away from here and back to where you belong."
After saying that, Luo Fei ignored them and walked straight through the crowd towards the base, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded onlookers and Long Yuxuan and his two companions who looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Go...go to jail?"
Xiao Muyang's face turned pale as he looked at Long Yuxuan and Xie Feiyu.
"Captain Luo... he's really going to send us away?"
Xie Feiyu also panicked a little.
Long Yuxuan watched Luo Fei's departing figure with a complicated expression. He gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Let's go back and talk about it first!"
After receiving basic treatment and bandaging from several medical personnel at the base, the three of them helped each other and limped back to their dormitory, which they thought they would never return to.
Not long after they entered the room, members of the Tianji Group from several neighboring dormitories who had heard the commotion gathered around, crowding at the door and asking questions all at once.
"Hey! Long Yuxuan, are you alright? Are you badly injured?"
"My God, those tigers and wolves outside... did Captain Luo really take them all down by himself?"
"Tell me quickly! What exactly happened? How did Captain Luo manage that? We couldn't even see it clearly through the crack in the door!"
Faced with the curious and concerned gazes of the crowd, the three survivors opened up. Xiao Muyang described with great enthusiasm how Luo Fei kicked a tiger away, how he leaped into the air and killed two tigers with a single palm strike, and how he kicked a jackal like a soccer ball. He spoke vividly, as if he had experienced it all himself.
"...You didn't see it! Captain Luo just 'whooshed' up more than ten meters high! Then, with two 'bangs, bangs,' those two big tigers swayed a few times and collapsed like they were drunk! My god, those were adult Siberian tigers! Captain Luo is simply inhuman!" (End of this chapter)
