Chapter 1031 Returning to Town

After successfully capturing Xu Mang, Lu Yu prepared to leave the forest.

After leaving the messy yellow forest, Lu Yu dragged Xu Mang and continued walking forward.

Lu Yu tightly gripped Xu Mang’s neck, which made it hard for Xu Mang to breathe. His face turned red, and his facial features were twisted.

Lu Yu dragged him forward, and soon, he saw Jiang Xun and his sister.

He and his sister stood there, looking at Lu Yu in surprise.

Lu Yu walked up to them and looked at the two, asking, “Why did you two follow me?”

Jiang Xun twisted his neck and looked around, looking at Lu Yu in disbelief. “Brother Lu, is this… did you do this?”

“I thought a ferocious beast came out from somewhere and made a mess of this place.”

Lu Yu smiled faintly. “That’s right, I did it. This was the most efficient way. I caught my target quickly, and he was indeed hiding here. After hearing the commotion, he wanted to escape, but I found his footprints and chased after him.”

If this guy hadn’t run away but hid in a corner, Lu Yu would have had to spend more time trying to find him.

It was much simpler now. He just needed to follow the path back to Qingtian Town.

“I have already caught this person. It seems that he still has a chance to live.”

Lu Yu placed the man on the ground and let go of his neck.

Xu Mang sat on the ground and coughed in pain, looking at Lu Yu in horror.

“You… Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do to me?”

He shouted in panic, not daring to look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu squatted in front of him and smiled. “Of course, I will bring you back to Qingtian Town to be executed. Is there a problem?”

“So, stop the nonsense and stop talking.”

Hearing this, Xu Mang burst into tears. “Sir, I know I was wrong. Please spare me! If you send me to town, those unruly people will skin me alive!”

He cried out.

Lu Yu raised his leg and kicked him in the chest. “You’ve done many inhumane crimes, yet you still call them unruly people.”

Xu Mang was in complete despair. He lay on the ground motionlessly.

“Brother Lu, this guy is detestable. How could he call us unruly when he’s the criminal here? We can’t let him off so easily!”

“Let’s bring him back and let him receive his punishment!”

Lu Yu nodded slightly and walked forward. He took out a rope and tied Xu Mang’s hands and feet.

“Since you two are here, help me carry this guy back.”

Lu Yu said.

“What? The two of us?”

The elder sister asked in surprise.

“So be it. When we go back, we can also be heroes!”

Jiang Xun, on the other hand, was very excited. He quickly walked up to Xu Mang and lifted him, placing him on his shoulder.

The three of them walked back to Qingtian Town.

The yellow forest hulin wasn’t too far from Qingtian Town, so they arrived back in the afternoon.

As soon as they entered the town, they were surrounded by a large group of people. They looked at the three of them in astonishment.

“Wait… Isn’t this guy Xu Mang? Was he actually caught?”
“Damn, Jiang Xun, you’re not bad. You managed to catch this person.”

“Jiang Xun, how did you do it? Tell us about it.”

“Xu Mang was caught! What a surprise. I thought he would be able to get away with it for the rest of his life!”

With everyone looking at him with admiration, Jiang Xun walked on the street and puffed out his chest, feeling proud.

At this moment, his sister began to explain to the others.

“We didn’t catch Xu Mang. It was our friend here. We were just porters who helped him bring this person back.”

She explained, and after everyone knew the truth, they no longer paid attention to Jiang Xun.

“Why are you in such a hurry to explain?” Jiang Xun was dissatisfied. “Can’t you explain it when we get to the Public Security Bureau?”

The three soon arrived at the entrance of the town hall.

Lu Yu shouted,” Sheriff, we’ve caught him. Come out and check it out.”

Soon, the sheriff walked out. After seeing Lu Yu, he lowered his head and looked at Xu Mang.

“Oh? It really is him. You actually caught him! You’re fast.”

Two security officers walked out and carried Xu Mang into the prison.

The sheriff walked up to Lu Yu.

“Thank you, young man. This is your reward.”

He took out a money bag and handed it to Lu Yu.

After Lu Yu took it, he opened it and counted it. It was exactly 50 gold coins.

Lu Yu nodded with a smile after receiving the money bag.

“Alright, I’ve settled this bounty quest. We’ll meet again in the future.”

The sheriff saw this and quickly stopped Lu Yu. He advised, “Since you’re so strong, why don’t you help us get rid of more disasters and protect our peace? You will do us a good deed.”

Lu Yu shook his head helplessly. “I’m sorry. I have something to do. I can’t stay here any longer.”

When the sheriff heard this, he nodded helplessly. “Sigh… Alright then.”

Jiang Xun looked at Lu Yu curiously. “What else do you want?”

“Don’t ask. It has nothing to do with you.”

“If you tell me, I’ll tell you a big secret. How about it?” Jiang Xun immediately shouted.

Lu Yu looked at him curiously. “What secret do you have?”

“This secret is!”

Jiang Xun’s sister tugged at his arm, indicating that he should keep quiet.

“Sis, just tell him. It’s useless even if we know. No one can handle it.”

The elder sister sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

“What do you think?” Jiang Xun came to Lu Yu’s side and asked. “Do you want to trade?”

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment. “Fine. It doesn’t hurt to tell you about my matters anyway.”

The two of them went to an empty corner.

“I found a spring in a forest in the north of the city,” Jiang Xun said, covering his mouth mysteriously and whispering.

“I was so excited that I dived in and prepared to have some fun in the water. After all, the weather is hot now.”

“Get to the point,” Lu Yu continued.

“The main point is coming up. I saw a giant egg there!”

“It was massive—larger than my entire body! Moreover, there are all kinds of mysterious snowflake patterns on the eggshell!”

Lu Yu frowned slightly. “Egg? What animal’s egg?”

“I don’t know, but it’s very likely that it’s a dragon’s egg!”

“Why do you think it’s a dragon egg?”

“That’s because our Ten Thousand Dragon Kingdom is the home of dragons,” Jiang Xun said excitedly. “If we find a large egg in this territory, it’s very likely that it’s a dragon egg!”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. “I see. If that’s the case, bring me there to take a look.”
