Chapter 66 A Thunderbolt (Subscription Request)

After Zhang Chen prepared all the details in the mountains, he sent the venison to his stepmother, and then returned home with a disheveled face. He saw a hairy white head coming out of the window next door, looking at Zhang Chen with a smug look on his face. That human expression looked very strange. As Zhang Chen walked into the yard, the vixen sniffed, and then the fox's eyes lit up and drooled.

Zhang Chen glanced at the next yard with an expressionless face, especially at the vixen who was eagerly waiting. He was so angry that his liver hurt. This vixen was really infuriating!
It's so blatant, bullying Zhang Chen because he is an honest man!
How could Zhang Chen endure such a great humiliation?
"This is too much!" Zhang Chen was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he still put the basket back in the house calmly. Then Zhang Chen carried eight pieces of firewood to the wall of the kitchen, carefully pierced the soil with a steel needle, revealing a hole for observation. After seeing that Zhang Chen was not at home, he put the eight pieces of firewood in his hand into the firewood room and carefully placed the eight pieces of firewood in the corner.

"There's still a lot of firewood!" Zhang Chen looked at the pile of firewood and a thought flashed through his mind: "But it just so happens that my stepmother's house has been emptied by a vixen, so I have the opportunity to take some firewood to her."

Zhang Chen carefully calculated the amount of firewood he would need, then he bundled some of it up and walked out carrying it.
"It's a pity that these two rooms of mine were left to me by my father!" Zhang Chen stood in front of the house and turned his head to take a look. All the pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the house were left inside. He didn't move any of them for fear of alarming the vixen.

"Brother Zhang Chen, don't blame me! I'm afraid your family's property can't be saved, but who told you to have a vixen?" Zhang Chen thought to himself, then walked out of the yard, muttering, "Damn dog, a thief who can't even give birth to a child without an anus, a bastard who falls when walking and chokes to death when drinking water, and you actually stole food from my stepmother's house, you really deserve to be struck by lightning. I'll fuck your ancestors for eight generations..."

Zhang Chen’s cursing voice was not loud, but definitely not small. He did it on purpose so that the vixen could hear it and thus enrage her.

Sure enough, as Zhang Chen started to curse, the vixen immediately got furious, and stared at Zhang Chen through the fence with eyes full of anger.

Then Zhang Chen turned around and walked out of the yard without saying a word, heading towards the back mountain without stopping at all.

Zhang Chen's steps were steady and neither slow nor hurried. At the same time, he secretly praised himself in his heart and said secretly: "My acting skills are at the level of atmosphere."

"Let's see whether you live or not this time!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, but the next moment his pupils shrank because the poor scholar Zhang Chen actually came back!
Zhang Chen paused, a look of panic appeared in his eyes, and a thought emerged in his mind: "What should I do! What should I do now! Although Zhang Chen and I have conflicts, it is definitely not to the point of killing each other. Once the high-explosive gunpowder explodes, the area within a radius of 50 meters will be razed to the ground, and Zhang Chen will definitely be blown to pieces and turned into dregs!"

"What should I do? What should I do?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind: "If I go back and take the firewood away now, it's still in time!"

Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Chen who was coming over, and was about to turn around and walk into the yard to take the eight sticks of firewood away, so as to prevent them from being taken away by the vixen. But at this moment, Zhang Chen made trouble again, and stood in front of Zhang Chen, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Where are you going, you little country bumpkin?"

Hearing what the poor scholar Zhang Chen said, Zhang Chen paused, and a breath was choked in his chest, but he decided to ignore him and turned back to the yard to get firewood. However, the poor scholar Zhang Chen walked up to him relentlessly and grabbed Zhang Chen's collar: "Boy, I'm talking to you!"

"I have something to do today, so don't cause trouble!" Zhang Chen tried his best to keep his emotions stable. He looked at the poor scholar Zhang Chen with a gloomy face. He struggled with his shoulders to break free from the other's hand, but Zhang Chen held him tightly at this time, causing him to stagger.

"You little bastard, you're looking for death!" Zhang Chen staggered after being pulled by Zhang Chen, and his face suddenly became angry.

Ever since the fox spirit helped him, he has been beating Zhang Chen for the past five years. How could Zhang Chen ever resist him?
It should be noted that the two had a grudge since childhood. At that time, they fought fiercely. The two sides have been fighting for a long time, especially in recent years with the help of the vixen, Zhang Chen is no match for him and has always been bullied. At this time, he staggered after being pulled by Zhang Chen. How could Zhang Chen bear it? He stepped forward and punched him.

Zhang Chen was caught off guard and nearly got punched. Just as he was about to argue with Zhang Chen, he saw the green smoke coming out of the stove next door and was so frightened that his soul flew away. He quickly backed away, no longer paying any attention to Zhang Chen, and ran away.

It's obvious that the vixen has started lighting a fire and cooking!

"Hmph, you're lucky. I'll let you go today! I'll be more respectful to you when I see you next time." Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Chen's fleeing back, smiled triumphantly and walked into the house.

Zhang Chen paused and turned to look at Zhang Chen who walked into the yard. Looking at the smoke rising from the stove, Zhang Chen picked up the kettle and left without saying a word, with no intention of delaying at all.

Zhang Chen walked out of the village, then returned and headed towards his home, hiding behind a big tree two hundred meters away and waiting.

"It's a sin! I really didn't want to kill you, but you got yourself involved, so you can't blame me. This is your fate, and I can't do anything about it!" Zhang Chen sighed: "I just hope that if you become a ghost in the future, don't blame me."

If Zhang Chen hadn't beaten him up for no reason and hadn't bullied him, he would have really tried to hold Zhang Chen back, or even moved the firewood out of the yard to resolve the crisis. But thinking of the conflict between the two of them over the past five years, he decided to forget it!
Zhang Chen was well aware of the power of the explosives he made. As long as the explosives were ignited, all the grass within dozens of meters would be flattened.

"Fortunately, when my family moved here, we only built a house at the entrance of the village, which was some distance away from the villagers. Otherwise, I would not dare to use high-purity explosives at will." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, hiding in the withered grass outside the safe zone and watching secretly.

Zhang Chen didn't have to wait long. After about half an incense stick of time, there was a sudden loud noise like thunder, which spread over a dozen miles. The roar was earth-shaking and shook the thatched houses in the entire village.

The explosion was so loud that even Zhang Chen, who was hundreds of meters away, felt his head buzzing and was temporarily deafened.

In Zhang Chen's sight, he saw his own thatched hut and Zhang Chen's family's thatched hut suddenly exploded. Countless thatches were washed into the sky, flying in the air like catkins.

Zhang Chen saw a flash of fire bursting out from the thatched hut, and then the entire house was razed to the ground.

"It's done!" Looking at the flattened thatched hut, Zhang Chen hid in the bushes and clenched his fists excitedly. However, he felt a little nervous at this moment. He was a little hesitant at this moment, not knowing whether the high explosive could kill the fox spirit.

He wanted to wait a little longer to see the vixen's reaction and see whether the vixen was killed by the explosion or completely dead, in case the vixen counterattacked before dying. However, he thought that such a big noise would surely alarm the villagers. Such a huge explosion would surely alert the government. He did not want to be seen at the scene. By then, the vixen would be dead, and he would be involved in trouble with the government.

Of course, although there is a danger of the vixen counterattacking at this time, it is definitely the best time to make the final move.

"If that vixen isn't dead, I can just say I heard the noise and ran back."

"If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too! The vixen is not a fool. If the vixen is not killed by the explosion, I'm afraid she will be able to guess that I am the one who is attacking her secretly, and she will definitely not let me go. This is the best time for me to finish her off. If the vixen dies, then everything will be over." Zhang Chen had countless thoughts running through his mind. Thinking of this, Zhang Chen rushed out of the bushes, cursing angrily: "Who is the one who killed me! My home! My house!"

While cursing loudly, Zhang Chen glanced at the explosion site. All the pots and pans were shattered, and the stove was razed to the ground. Only a fox with black hair, which smelled of burnt hair, was lying on the ground with patches of baldness and missing hair. It was unknown whether it was dead or alive.

"Why didn't they blow the fox to pieces?" Zhang Chen was secretly surprised.

It stands to reason that being at the center of the explosion, even steel would have been blown apart, but the body of this vixen was not shattered and was still preserved intact. Zhang Chen was quite curious.

Under the vixen, the poor scholar Zhang Chen was lying with his eyes closed. His face was covered in blood and burnt tissue, one of his ears was missing, and blood was flowing down, making him look particularly miserable.

"Damn it, this vixen really has some tricks up her sleeve. My high explosives didn't kill Zhang Chen?"

He could see that although the poor scholar Zhang Chen in the ground looked somewhat miserable, his chest was heaving and he was not dead.

Zhang Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. "She is just an ordinary little fox, she has no skills at all! Even if she still has some tricks, they are probably very limited. Otherwise, why would the poor scholar's ears be blown off, and why would she herself be dead or alive? Her fur was rotten from the explosion, and she looked bloody."

Zhang Chen pulled out the hatchet from his backpack and went forward to chop off the fox spirit's head, not caring whether the fox spirit was dead or not.

It would be more reassuring to chop off the head. He dare not be careless at all now.

Zhang Chen was about to swing his axe to chop, but at the critical moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the fox's body, frightening Zhang Chen so much that he paused. At this moment, the figure of the girl in white was illusory, and she looked at Zhang Chen with anger on her face: "You ant, you dare to plot against me like this, I will never let you go!"

"You dare to be stubborn even when you are about to die. Today, I will kill you, the beast!" Zhang Chen came to his senses quickly. The golden light in his body accompanied his breathing and was added to the big knife. Then he suddenly chopped towards the flesh body.

There was no point in being afraid now. The only thing Zhang Chen could do was to fight the vixen.

"You dare!" The vixen turned pale when facing Zhang Chen's golden sword and screamed miserably, but she didn't dare to step forward to stop him. She could only watch Zhang Chen's sword chop down. Even if she had the means to control objects at this moment, it was too late.

"Killing! Killing!"

At this critical moment, Zhang Chen on the ground opened his eyes from his coma, and saw Zhang Chen's big knife chopping down. Regardless of the pain on his body, he rolled over, not only knocking the fox spirit's body off his body, but also rolling over to avoid Zhang Chen's big knife.

Because the vixen was on him, it looked as if Zhang Chen was going to chop him with a knife!
"Killed!"

"Someone come quickly! Zhang Chen killed someone!"

Zhang Chen got up from the ground, yelled at the villagers, and stumbled away.

How could Zhang Chen have time to worry about the poor scholar? Without the vixen, the poor scholar was nothing. Now was the time for him to fight the vixen desperately. Either he killed the vixen, or the vixen would recover and kill him.

"Boy, you're done!" The girl looked at Zhang Chen, whose face was ferocious, with a cold look in her eyes: "I, your ancestor, have practiced for a hundred years, but I never thought that I would be plotted against by a mortal like you. You have successfully aroused my anger!"

The girl's words were so powerful that Zhang Chen could not help but be more alert. He was a little more vigilant, but he still swung his sword and chopped it. At this point, even if the fox spirit had the ability to move mountains and overturn seas, he would still rush up. However, after the girl finished speaking, before Zhang Chen's sword approached, the girl in white actually hugged her own body and went deep into the mountains and forests.

She actually ran away holding her own body!
"Bang~"

Zhang Chen's sword missed and chopped directly into the mud.

Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit hugging her body and walking away. To the naked eye, it looked like a bloody fox floating in the air. "She must have been seriously injured. She even lost the ability to turn her body into nothingness."

“Strike at the opportunity while she’s ill. Never let the vixen escape, otherwise I’ll be in big trouble in the future.” Zhang Chen chased after her without saying a word, holding his sword.

The vixen's methods were beyond his expectations. Although he had already made plans in his mind, he was still shocked when he saw that the vixen was not killed by the high explosives.

That's high explosive!
She runs away and he chases her, and he can't escape even if he has wings!
"Boy, I, your ancestor, have only eaten a little of your food. Why do you have to kill me? How about we make peace as soon as possible and put an end to our grudge?" Seeing Zhang Chen chasing her relentlessly, the fox spirit quickly spoke softly.

"Oh? What the ancestor said hits the mark exactly. You stop for a moment and don't run any further. Let's talk things out. What misunderstanding can't be cleared up?" Zhang Chen followed the vixen, carrying a long sword, promising all the while without slackening his pace of pursuit.

The vixen in front of him was also running for his life, with no intention of slowing down at all: "You stop first and show your sincerity, and I, the ancestor, will naturally stop and talk to you. Let's resolve our grievances."
