“What are you trying to say?” Lan Xingyue could not smile anymore, she frowned at Ye Feng.

The other members of the exploration team were also confused and wanted an explanation.

Ye Feng was about to reply when he suddenly heard a series of footsteps approaching from afar, he could not help but sigh. “They are here.”

“Who is here…”

Before Lan Xingyue could finish her question, she saw a group of men wearing hard hats and holding shovels and pickaxes in their hands walking toward them with murderous intent.

There were about fifteen or sixteen of them.

The leader was a fierce-looking man wearing a white hard hat and holding a cigarette in his mouth.

The few miners who were chatting with Ye Feng earlier were also among them.

“Who told you to explore here? Do you know whose territory this is?” The man carried a metal pickaxe and walked in front of everyone, asking fiercely.

“Who are you?”

Although Lan Xingyue was a little afraid, she was the captain of the exploration team after all. If anything went wrong, she had to take the initiative to deal with it.

“We are from the Mang Mountain Coal Mine. This is the territory of the Mang Mountain Coal Mine. If you don’t want to cause trouble, leave quickly.” The man berated her in an unfriendly tone.

“We have the approval of the country and are conducting exploration work legally. I hope you won’t be unreasonable.” Lan Xingyue did not show any fear, at least not on her face.

“Hehe, unreasonable? Did you get permission from our boss to survey the territory of our Mang Mountain Coal Mine? I’m asking you one last time, are you leaving?”

The man was already a little impatient. He smashed the pickaxe heavily on the ground, and the tip of the pickaxe directly went into the ground.

The threat was self-evident.

“As far as I know, this place doesn’t belong to your coal mine. You have no right to interfere with our exploration work. I hope…”

Lan Xingyue still wanted to explain with emotion and reason.

However, the man could not stand it anymore and pushed her hard. “Don’t you understand human language? Are you looking for a beating?”

Lan Xingyue’s body was weak to begin with. With a strong push from him, she flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Ye Feng reacted quickly and caught her in a hurry.

Her body was soft, but the impact still hurt his chest.

“Are you alright?” He couldn’t care less about the pain and hurriedly asked with concern.

Lan Xingyue shook her head and quickly escaped from his arms.

Seeing that the other party had made the first move, the members of the exploration team all picked up their tools and looked at the miners.

“Oh, you guys want to fight? Alright, if you have the guts, try it. I’ll see if you can leave here alive today.”

The leader immediately revealed a sinister smile.

The group of miners behind him waved the tools in their hands and shouted arrogantly.

“You want to fight? Come on!”

“I think you guys are asking to die!”

“If you have the guts, go ahead…”

Under the intimidation of this group of people, the exploration team retreated a little.

Not only did they have the advantage in numbers, but they were also a bunch of unreasonable barbarians.

Once a conflict broke out, a few of them were simply not enough to deal with it.

“All of you, step back.”

Lan Xingyue gave an order to the exploration team.

The members of the exploration team retreated.

The miners thought that they were afraid and laughed arrogantly.

However, the next second, Lan Xingyue took a step forward. “The order I received was to explore the mineral veins here. I won’t leave this place before the exploration is completed.”

The smile on the leader’s face froze, and his expression gradually turned ferocious. “I think you’re courting death. I’ll give you three seconds to get your men out of here.”

“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“One.”

With a roar, he slowly raised the pickaxe in his hand.

The members of the exploration team began to feel anxious.

Zhuang Xiaoqiao also tugged at Ye Feng’s clothes, asking him to think of a solution.

However, Lan Xingyue’s expression was determined and she did not retreat at all.

“Two.”

With another roar, the pickaxe was raised above his head.

His face was fierce-looking, which looked full of hostility and made people shudder.

However, Lan Xingyue still chose to look him in the eye. She looked as if she was ready to face death.

The man’s cheeks twitched a few times. This time, he deliberately paused, waiting for the other party to admit defeat.

But in the end, he was disappointed.

Lan Xingyue had no intention of giving in at all.

“Three!”

The man couldn’t hold it in anymore. He roared one last time and swung the pickaxe in his hand.

“Ah…”

Zhuang Xiaoqiao and the members of the exploration team were already screaming in fear.

Lan Xingyue closed her eyes and waited for death.

With her stubborn personality, she would never take a step back even if she was beaten to death.

For an exploration team member, the best ending was to die on the road to exploration.

However…

She waited for a long time, but the pickaxe did not land.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a hand.

This hand was big and powerful, and it held the end of the pickaxe tightly.

It was like a pillar, helping her hold up the sky.

Lan Xingyue’s gaze moved slowly, and Ye Feng’s determined side profile appeared in her line of sight.

Although the two of them had been in contact for a day, she had never observed him seriously.

Only now did she realize that he was really quite handsome.

Especially at this moment, with this heroic spirit, he looked even more n.o.ble.

The miner in the lead tried to pull away a few times, but Ye Feng’s strength was too strong, he could not move.

This made him both shocked and angry.

People like them who worked in the coal mine relied on their strength to survive. Their strength was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

However, the young man in front of him was actually stronger than him.

This was a little unbelievable.

However, even though he was shocked, the other party had publicly shamed him. How could he swallow this anger?

He tried again but failed to pull the pickaxe back. He was furious. “Go to h.e.l.l, you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”

As he spoke, he kicked at her.

Ye Feng did not panic, he moved Lan Xingyue behind him to protect her.

However, he accidentally felt something soft.

He did not have time to think about it now. He grabbed the pickaxe and pulled hard.

The leading miner immediately lost his balance and missed his kick, and Ye Feng also s.n.a.t.c.hed away his pickaxe.

He lost his pride and was instantly furious.

“Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I’ll kill you…”

Before he could finish his words, Ye Feng had already swung his pickaxe at him.

“Bang!”

The sharp end of the pickaxe smashed heavily on his safety helmet.

The man felt his head shake, and all the hair on his body stood on end. It was as if his soul had been shattered.

At that moment, he thought he was going to die.

After all, if a pickaxe was smashed on the head, anyone would have their brains splattered.
