Just as Lin Chen finished speaking the last word, Yang Meilin suddenly moved! Her movements were swift and decisive, and her straight and slender legs transformed into violent and dangerous weapons, kicking simply and brutally between Lin Chen's legs.
If Lin Chen hadn't remained vigilant and activated his perception ability, anticipating Yang Meilin's next move, he likely wouldn't have been able to dodge the attack. And if such an attack had landed, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, Lin Chen was not unprepared. Just as Yang Meilin's leg was about to hit him, his hand firmly grabbed her ankle.
Yang Meilin hadn't expected Lin Chen to defend her so easily. She tried to free her feet, but immediately felt an irresistible force. That force made it impossible for her to break free, as if she were being tightly clamped by iron pincers.
Just then, Lin Chen made an even bolder move. He took a step, instantly closing the distance between himself and Yang Meilin, and then tightly embraced her with one arm! Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that he hugged her tightly.
Yang Meilin's body stiffened instantly. Although she had undergone rigorous training and had some physical contact with men, those contacts were brief and usually only with their backs. She had never been so intimate with a man before, let alone in this situation.
What's more, she had long been determined to give her first time to Zhao Zhuowen, but who would have thought that Lin Chen would take it away from her without warning today!
Enraged, a black dagger flashed from her wrist and she stabbed it at Lin Chen, who was standing right in front of her!
However, this short distance of no more than a foot seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, impossible to penetrate no matter what she did. This was because her hand was firmly restrained by Lin Chen's other hand.
Time and again, Lin Chen's defenses were blocked, leaving Yang Meilin deeply shocked. At the same time, she had to reassess Lin Chen's strength. This seemingly ordinary man actually possessed such unfathomable power.
"You want to play? I'll play with you!"
Lin Chen whispered in Yang Meilin's ear, his face dark. Then, he noticed that Yang Meilin's shapely buttocks were right next to his hand. Following the principle of "why not take advantage of freebies," he gave them a squeeze as a response to her rude behavior.
Yang Meilin was furious. No one in the entire "Operation Red Sea" club had ever dared to treat her like this before!
She simply gripped the sharp dagger and plunged it fiercely into Lin Chen's chest. This was her instinctive attack method, because she had killed people before! Although she didn't really intend to take Lin Chen's life, the muscle memory in her hand had automatically made her use a killing move.
Under normal circumstances, such an attack would be fatal.
However, just as Yang Meilin's dagger was about to pierce Lin Chen, she suddenly felt an invisible force impacting her, causing her to stagger back several steps. Her dagger also abruptly stopped in mid-air, as if it had struck something, before falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Meilin herself seemed to be struck by an invisible wall, falling to the ground in a disheveled state. Due to inertia, she rolled several times, getting herself covered in mud.
"What's going on?!" Yang Meilin was truly dumbfounded. This was simply too bizarre! She had never experienced anything so strange, nor had she ever seen such a bizarre phenomenon. At this moment, she really didn't know how to deal with it.
Looking at Lin Chen over there, his movements were like flowing Tai Chi, his eyes closed and his hands slowly raised, as if guiding some kind of power between heaven and earth.
"Could it be that this guy was secretly using his powers just now?" Yang Meilin exclaimed inwardly, her tone filled with disbelief.
"How could this be? I've trained hard for years, and I was actually defeated by a little charlatan using qigong? What the hell is this?" Yang Meilin's eyes seemed to be spitting fire; she couldn't accept this fact.
However, Lin Chen wasn't entirely clear about his physical condition at the moment. He only knew that the poisoning seemed to have worsened.
"What kind of weird tricks did you just use? How come you're still okay?" Yang Meilin asked, puzzled.
Based on Lin Chen's understanding of Yang Meilin, he knew that an ordinary person would have been incapacitated by such a severe poison. Furthermore, during his previous encounter with Yang Meilin, Lin Chen had inadvertently been poisoned by some of her paralyzing drugs.
With the combination of deadly poison and paralyzing drugs, Lin Chen should theoretically have difficulty even speaking and be completely at the mercy of others.
But Lin Chen showed no sign of anything amiss. His expression was calm, as if everything was under his control.
Of course, Yang Meilin was unable to discern Lin Chen's true situation because Lin Chen's previous actions had already thrown her into a state of confusion, and she also failed to notice the occasional small flaws that Lin Chen revealed.
Lin Chen could feel his body growing heavier, and he knew that the poison was spreading. The only reason he had been able to hold on until now was because the mysterious qigong had temporarily suppressed the spread of the poison.
However, this was only a temporary measure; he couldn't use qigong to completely expel the poison from his body. He estimated that in another half hour, the poison would have completely circulated throughout his body, at which point he would likely be doomed. He would lose consciousness in about twenty more minutes.
Lin Chen is now gradually losing some of his physical sensations and awareness, and his keen senses are constantly weakening.
Fortunately, he had already obtained all the information he wanted to know. He didn't answer Yang Meilin's question, but simply turned and walked into the woods. He knew that the antidote wouldn't come from Yang Meilin. But through his observations, he already knew how to prepare the antidote and what materials were needed.
Watching Lin Chen turn and leave, Yang Meilin was filled with doubt and anger. However, she quickly guessed his reason. She knew the answer. Did this kid think he could find the antidote on his own? How could that be? When he couldn't hold on any longer, he'd only have to kneel down and beg her to save him!
Thinking of this, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on Yang Meilin's face, carrying a hint of smugness. She completely forgot the embarrassment of being knocked to the ground and taken advantage of just now.
She didn't say anything, but silently followed behind Lin Chen, wanting to see what he could find and how long he could hold out.
"Holy crap, did I see that right? That kid actually dared to touch my widow's perky butt? And she didn't dare to do it again? What's going on?"
The young general looked at the communication drone "mL004" in his hand and exclaimed in surprise.
"That kid is indeed very strong. Black Widow's close combat skills are by no means inferior. Moreover, his reaction under the surprise attack is enough to show that his strength is above Black Widow's."
Black Mamba stared at the screen and said methodically, "And... why did Black Widow suddenly fly four or five meters away? How did her dagger fall to the ground? Demon Blade, did you understand?"
However, the demon swordsman beside him remained silent, staring intently at the screen with a grave expression. He seemed to recall the scene from yesterday when he attempted to attack Lin Chen, where he too was blocked by something unknown, causing his silver sword to slip from his grasp. Exactly the same situation as Yang Meilin's just now!
After entering the forest, Lin Chen began searching for the medicinal herbs he needed. Although his steps were somewhat heavy, his gaze was exceptionally firm.
The young general's medical theories were also quite advanced. He glanced at Lin Chen from afar and noticed something odd about his gait. He frowned, secretly wondering, "What's this kid looking for? He seems quite experienced..."
The young general zoomed in on the footage captured by the drone, and by observing Lin Chen's gait and facial expressions, he had already guessed about five or six parts of the truth.
"not good!"
He quickly put down the remote control and strode into the woods.
"Young general, where are you going?" someone asked curiously.
"Old Dog has been poisoned by a Prism rattlesnake!" The young general said gravely. "Although we don't know how he managed to hold out for so long, we must administer the medicine as soon as possible, or his life will be in danger!"
