Chapter 368 – Picking Up (1/2)
Chapter 368: Picking Up
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh
Separated by a distance of three miles, Ji Hao and eighteen dragon warriors stood facing each other.
Feng Xing had disappeared already, no one aware where he went. After he trod on a gust of wind and dashed into the woods, no one had ever seen him again.
Yu Mu took out that huge pot of his while giving quite simple and honest grin to those dragon warriors. He then carried that black and huge pot on his back. This fatso was well prepared for taking a beating even before the fight started.
Man Man carried her pair of hammers, angrily rushing towards the old tree and leopard, even brushing against a few dragon warriors. Two dragon warriors intended to stop her, but their leader yelled them stop
“It’s just a little girl, let her be. What can she do anyway?”
Man Man quickly rushed up to the old tree and leopard, dropped the pair of hammers and grabbed that giant net made from dragon tendons with both of her hands, then began ripping it pretty hard.
A dragon warrior turned around, seeing Man Man ripping the dragon tendon net, couldn’t help but laugh aloud and said, “Little girl, these are dragon tendons, although that dragon wasn’t too powerful before he was killed because of his crime, these tendons are not something that you humankind can…”
Before he finished his sentence, the whole group of dragon warriors popped their eyes out simultaneously, staring at Man Man as if she was a ghost.
Followed by a loud, ear-piercing creaking noise, an arm-thick piece of dragon tendon, that had a silver-like lustre, gradually broke under the effect of Man Man’s horrible strength. After that, the other parts of the giant net broke one after another. A loud series of popping noise sounded like slaps on the faces, whipping hard on those dragon warriors’ faces.
The dragon warrior leader paused for a second, then yelled out irritatedly, “You two, go keep an eye on that little girl! I thought she’s just a tiny shrimp, yet she turned out to be a giant bullhead shark! But, little girl, don’t bother to try, despite the fact that you’re quite strong, nothing will change!”
Two dragon warriors each took a deep breath, then their ten-zhang tall bodies shrunk quickly into one-zhang and two-foot, then they walked towards Man Man with big steps.
Man Man had just ripped a few dragon tendons out, and the hole she made in that net wasn’t big enough for the old tree and leopard to come out yet. Hearing footsteps of those two dragon warriors, Man Man turned her head around and yelled in anger, “You’re all bad people! Why do you all want to catch them?!”
The dragon warrior leader gave a vicious grin, then responded with pride and also a bit of shamelessness, “We’re not catching them at all! We were just passing by, hehe, just passing by. We saw them being captured by someone else. When we got here, they were already captives of some other people. We’re just picking them up from the roadside!”
The dragon warrior leader then puffed his chest out, as if he was assured and bold with justice, and continued loudly, “According to the rule of our dragon-kind, whatever we picked up from the roadside belongs to us, including those treasures of yours. If those treasures are found and picked up by us, we will become the new owners of those treasures!”
Ji Hao sneered coldly. What a ridiculous rule! It had surely reached a certain degree of shamelessness! Whatever they picked up from the roadside should belong to them, right? But how to define ‘picked up’? Besides, could you even ‘pick up’ living beings?
This was nothing but the logic of robbers. In a blunt way, whatever caught their eyes should belong to them. The dragon-kind was indeed the greediest race in this world, just like they were known to be. The bad reputation of the dragon-kind had been spreading in the Pu Ban City and the Midland for many years.
