?Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Heart-to-Heart Talk_1 Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Heart-to-Heart Talk_1 Chen Dalong stared in astonishment at the scene before him; never in his wildest dreams had he imagined a Big Yellow Dog wielding a sword.
“To help you, it’s really quite troublesome. Originally, I could have bitten it to death with one bite, but now I have to hack it to death with a sword,” said the Mutated Parrot, flying down at this moment.
Just as Chen Dalong was about to say something, he saw the Big Yellow Dog approaching with a sword in its mouth.
Looking at the giant dog towering over him, Chen Dalong couldn’t help but swallow hard, even though he knew it wouldn’t hurt him.
The Big Yellow Dog spat the sword out onto the ground, then barked a “woof” at Chen Dalong.
Chen Dalong managed a forced smile and awkwardly turned his head to look at the Mutated Parrot, “Lord Parrot, could you please translate what the Dog Envoy has said?” S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Woof!” Hearing this, the Big Yellow Dog barked again, baring its teeth.
“It says it’s very dissatisfied with the title ‘Dog Envoy,''” the Mutated Parrot relayed.
Cold sweat instantly formed on Chen Dalong’s forehead. What should he call it? Great Envoy? Yellow Envoy? Or Great Yellow Envoy?
Fortunately, Chen Dalong was quick to react and respectfully called out, “Great Envoy.”
The Big Yellow Dog then nodded in satisfaction, and the Mutated Parrot added, “Earlier, he was asking you how his swordsmanship was.”
The flurry of moves just now had been performed by Ye Feng in possession of the Big Yellow Dog, and naturally, he wanted to hear others’ opinions.
Pity that dogs’ paws can’t hold swords, otherwise, he felt he could have showcased the Three Sword Style.
“Of course it was good—it was simply superb, an unrivaled display of power!” Chen Dalong burst out with praise.
“Really? Then can you elaborate on what exactly was good about it?” the Mutated Parrot asked with keen interest.
Chen Dalong’s mind went blank. How could there be follow-up questions about details?
He felt the sweat on his forehead about to break out again.
But in a stroke of quick thinking, he immediately said, “The best part of that swordsmanship is, of course, its ultimate speed—after all, in all of martial arts, speed is the essence!”
Upon hearing this, the Mutated Parrot nodded with satisfaction, “Well said!”
Chen Dalong inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and both the Big Yellow Dog and Mutated Parrot had disappeared.
Chen Dalong wanted to sit down and digest the spectacle he had just witnessed, but the situation didn’t allow for it. He had to “tie up loose ends” before others arrived.
Picking up the large saber, he approached the dead Mutated Gazelle.
First, he fired a dozen shots into its body with an automatic rifle, then stabbed a few vital areas with the saber, and finally, he smeared some fresh blood on his clothes.
“This should be about right,” he thought.
After inspecting himself to make sure there were no mistakes, Chen Dalong decided to drag the Mutated Gazelle’s body back.
However, to his embarrassment, even with his current strength of over 800 pounds, he couldn’t budge it.
But he wasn’t in a hurry. He simply sat on the corpse and waited.
Before long, he could hear intermittent noises coming from the distant jungle, clearly someone was approaching, but not quickly and even with a tentative air.
“I’m over here,” Chen Dalong shouted.
Li Huosheng and the others, advancing cautiously, grew excited upon hearing the shout.
“The boss is over there, hurry up,” he said as he dropped the Mutated Rooster he was carrying and rushed over with his gun at top speed.
The other armed members also quickly followed suit.
Especially Liu Wenhua and the other retired soldiers with their superior physical strength, they ran the fastest.
When they got close enough and no longer had trees for cover, they witnessed a sight they would never forget.
They all had a clear understanding of how powerful a Mutated Gazelle was from their brief encounter; these battle-hardened veterans didn’t doubt that if the Mutated Gazelle hadn’t turned away at the crucial moment, more than half of their team would have perished.
Although they didn’t understand why the Mutated Gazelle chose to flee at the last moment or how Chen Dalong managed to chase it down, everything they had experienced still left them shaken to the core.
According to their hopes, the best outcome would have been the mutated gazelle running away, with Chen Dalong returning safely.
But at this moment, the huge mutated gazelle lay on the ground, covered in countless knife wounds, with almost no intact skin to be found.
And Chen Dalong, this seemingly “insignificant” human, was sitting nonchalantly on top of it.
The visual shock of this scene was immense, leaving these military veterans at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Li Huosheng and the others who were slightly behind had also caught up, but their shock wasn’t as great.
After all, in their minds, after having killed a large wild boar yesterday, it seemed reasonable to kill another mutated gazelle today, didn’t it?
Instead of focusing on how Chen Dalong had killed the mutated gazelle, they were more concerned about whether he had been injured.
“Boss, are you alright?” Li Huosheng hurriedly rushed over to ask.
“I’m fine, all this blood is from the mutated gazelle.”
Chen Dalong waved his hand and looked at the others, loudly asking, “Who has the ropes? Bring them out and tie this thing up, let’s haul it back together.”
Hearing Chen Dalong’s arrangements, everyone started to move with smiles on their faces, their hearts bursting with joy.
Killing the mutated gazelle was one thing, but what excited them the most was witnessing Chen Dalong’s terrifying combat power.
At this point, they were all excited about their bright future.
As for those retired soldiers, they had also recovered from their shock by now.
After a low discussion among themselves, Liu Wenhua and Xie Guanzhong stepped forward to approach Chen Dalong.
“Boss, I want to ask, are you really a superhuman?” This time it was Xie Guanzhong who spoke.
“What if I am, what if I’m not?” Chen Dalong asked with a smile.
“Uh… well, doesn’t the country have policies? It would benefit you; why don’t you go?” Xie Guanzhong inquired.
Instead of answering, Chen Dalong asked back, “You all are from Yang City, right?”
“Yes! That’s right.” They both nodded.
“Tell me, in times like these, how long can we remain at peace?”
“With these creatures mutating continuously, I guess a war is bound to break out sooner or later, and when that time comes, every place will be short-staffed.”
“I just want to stay and contribute more to my hometown. Don’t you also want your family and friends to live a little safer?”
“Besides, as long as we are fighting these mutated beings, we are defending our home and country, so what does it matter where we are!”
Every word from Chen Dalong struck a chord with the two men.
They exchanged a look and suddenly both broke into smiles.
They had come over to ask simply because they couldn’t overcome the unease in their hearts, but now, having heard what Chen Dalong said, it was like an enlightenment.
Right! As long as we’re fighting against mutated beings, wherever we are, aren’t we defending our home and country!
While the few of them were talking, the others had already tied up the mutated gazelle, and now it was time to drag it back.
It was, without a doubt, a major task.
It took no fewer than 10 people, Chen Dalong included, to successfully drag the mutated gazelle.
Thankfully, they didn’t need to return by the same route; they just had to drag the mutated gazelle to the Yunyang Highway, 400 meters away, and then they could come with a truck to haul it back.
Even so, it took them a full 20 minutes.
Then they sent a group back to get the vehicle.
It took nearly another 10 minutes just to get the mutated gazelle onto the truck.
And when they returned to the temporary camp, it unsurprisingly caused another sensation.
