Chương 31: Strength of the three

"Boy, come help!" The net rope was too short. The old man barely managed to return to the shore. One hand gripped the rope, but he could not do anything to the alligator-dragon that was determined to escape. Hearing the shout, Jiang Wenfeng immediately flashed forward and helped the old man pull with all his strength. The two of them withstood one wave of the alligator-dragon's struggle and gradually pulled the net rope back a little. Jiang Huanyu, still shaken, also reacted at this moment.

He hurriedly rushed forward and helped pull it back. With the combined strength of the three, they finally slowly dragged the fishing net back to the shore. Seeing that the huge alligator-dragon wrapped in the fishing net was still struggling, faintly showing signs of breaking free, Jiang Wenfeng directly jumped onto its back and punched the alligator-dragon's head! Bang! Although this punch from an Acquired Realm martial artist could not exactly split stone tablets, its force was still terrifying.

The alligator-dragon took a punch to the head and opened its huge mouth in pain! Bang! Bang! Jiang Wenfeng threw two more punches in succession, directly smashing it until stars flashed before its eyes and it stopped struggling. On the shore, the old man and Jiang Huanyu worked together and finally dragged the alligator-dragon onto land. The old man's figure flashed, and his palm suddenly struck the alligator-dragon's head. Crack!

A tooth-aching sound of bone breaking rang out, and the huge alligator-dragon instantly went still. Huff— Jiang Huanyu collapsed onto the ground, looking at the enormous creature before him, nearly six meters long, and could not help feeling lingering fear. This thing called an alligator-dragon was actually a crocodile. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. But the one before him was far too terrifying.

Its body length reached nearly six meters, and its weight was probably equal to two plowing oxen! The thick scale armor on its body flashed with a metallic luster under the sunlight. Ordinary blades and swords probably could not harm it in the slightest. Something like this, let alone in the water—even on land, it was not something human strength could subdue.

"Father, we caught an alligator-dragon!" Jiang Wenfeng excitedly came forward, touching the alligator-dragon's scale armor as he shouted. The old man's gaze was fixed on the alligator-dragon, and he also could not hide his joy. He murmured in a low voice,"It's much bigger than the one last time."

"I wonder how effective it will be." Jiang Huanyu calmed himself, stood up, and cupped his hands toward the old man.

"Many thanks, old sir, for saving our lives just now." If the old man had not acted earlier, while the father and son were in the water, facing an attack from another alligator-dragon, even if Jiang Wenfeng was an Acquired Realm martial artist, he probably could not have done anything. The old man smiled and waved his hand.

"Little brother, this old man wants to discuss something with you."

"How about selling this alligator-dragon to this old man?" Hearing this, Jiang Huanyu froze for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "This alligator-dragon was originally yours, old sir. How can there be any talk of selling it to you?" The old man waved his hands repeatedly.

"If we truly speak of it, this alligator-dragon was obtained through the combined effort of the three of us. It should naturally be divided among the three of us."

"This old man wants to pay silver to buy the portions belonging to you and your son. What do you think?" His meaning was very clear. He wanted to take this alligator-dragon for himself, and for the two portions belonging to Jiang Wenfeng and his father, he could pay money. However, Jiang Huanyu firmly refused to take the money. Before casting the net, he had already said that this net counted as the old man's reserved net. Not to mention that just now, the old man had saved the lives of him and his son.

No matter what, he could not accept this money. Both of them had their own insistence. One wanted to give money, and the other was unwilling to accept it. In the end, neither could convince the other.

"Um, why don't we make a fire and roast something first?" Seeing the two argue endlessly, Jiang Wenfeng noticed his father's soaked clothes and was afraid he would catch cold, so he quickly spoke. The two could only temporarily stop. The three sat around the bonfire. The old man took out a sharp dagger from somewhere, cut a piece of meat from the huge alligator-dragon, and roasted it over the flames.

"Senior, are you an Innate Realm martial artist?" Jiang Wenfeng asked curiously. He had never seen an Innate Realm martial artist. He had only heard that after a martial artist stepped into the Innate Realm, they could walk through the air, leap tens to hundreds of meters in one bound, and were extremely terrifying. The old man earlier had been like a great roc spreading its wings, flying through the air for several dozen meters. That was absolutely not something an ordinary martial artist could do.

"I suppose I am…" The old man smiled faintly.

"Actually, this old man also does not know what realm I count as now."

"This old man's name is Xu Xiu, from Han City." Han City? Jiang Huanyu was somewhat surprised.

"The Han City among the Three Western Region Commanderies that was massacred!?" Xu Xiu nodded slightly, a trace of memory appearing in his eyes.
