Got it! The pulling force transmitted back by the rope made Zhang Yuan overjoyed. He learned this skill of catching turtles with a flying hook from the old fisherman Sun Bo, and he didn't learn it for a long time. Although he had practiced hundreds and thousands of times, it was the first time he really used it in actual combat. According to Sun Bo, even if he was the creator of this skill, he would still fail to catch one out of ten when catching turtles. The probability of success was quite low. Zhang Yuan didn't expect that he would hit the jackpot on his first try today. He immediately pulled the rope. The turtle caught by the flying hook struggled desperately, stirring the water surface. However, its strength was completely incomparable to Zhang Yuan, and he was forcibly pulled onto the black-sailed boat by the latter.
Good guy! Seeing the turtle that had just been caught, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shout out loud. This big turtle was one foot square, with a thick carapace that was dark green, and the skirts on both sides were covered with circles of fine growth lines. It is roughly estimated that there are more than 30 circles. This means that it is an old turtle that has grown in Tianma River for more than 30 years! Wild turtles are like wild ginseng medicinal materials. The older they are, the more valuable they are. Zhang Yuan estimated that it could be sold at a high price of more than ten taels of silver! The old turtle's forelimbs were hooked by the flying hook, and it stretched out its long head while struggling. It opened its mouth and wanted to bite Zhang Yuan who was close at hand. But how could Zhang Yuan let it do so! He immediately stepped on it, leaned over to take off the flying hook, and then threw the wild big turtle into the live water tank. Zhang Yuan had just dealt with the spoils. Suddenly, not far ahead, two speedboats rushed through the mist. One on the left and one on the right formed a double team! Zhang Yuan's heart trembled, and he reached out to grab the harpoon placed aside. Sun Bo once told him that there were many fishermen who made a living on Tianma River, and conflicts often broke out in order to compete for territory. There were even casualties! But Zhang Yuan was vigilant, but he was not afraid at all. Because this river bay is the territory of the Angry Whale Gang, and he is a disciple of the War Hall.
The two speedboats slowed down a few dozen steps away. A thin man standing on the bow asked angrily: "Who are you? How dare you come to our Angry Whale Gang's fishing ground to poach?" Zhang Yuan replied in a deep voice: "I am Zhang Yuan, a disciple of the War Hall. May I ask your name?" The thin man was stunned for a moment. He stared at Zhang Yuan, as if flowers had grown on the latter's body: "Zhang Yuan? I have never heard of this name. If you dare to pretend to be my Angry Whale disciple, three lives are not enough to atone for your sins!" The thin man said the last two sentences in a stern voice, as if he was going to eat someone. Zhang Yuan took out his ID card from his pocket and shook it: "Do you recognize it?" The thin man's face changed, and he said sinisterly: "I can't see it clearly, throw it over to me for inspection." Zhang Yuan smiled coldly, put the ID card back into his pocket, and said lightly: "Are you from the Punishment Hall? Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to check my disciple card!" Although Zhang Yuan has not been a member of the Wrath of the Whales for a long time, and most of the time he has been learning martial arts with Dong Yuanwei. But he has a good relationship with Chen Zhize, and he knows all about the gang through the latter. He is definitely not an ignorant newbie! The other party should also be a member of the Wrath of the Whales, but Zhang Yuan does not think this guy is a disciple of the Punishment Hall. The people of the Punishment Hall are not so boring that they will come to the river bend to patrol. The thin man was speechless. "Didn't Dong Yuanwei teach you the principles of respect and inferiority?" In anger, he asked in a stern voice: "How dare a mere newcomer be so rude to a senior!" "Senior?" Zhang Yuan sneered: "You, a coward, dare to call yourself a senior. It's really laughable. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't be so hesitant like a woman!" The other party could recognize his newcomer nameplate and knew Dong Yuanwei, so his identity was not a problem. But what can he do? First of all, Zhang Yuan did not violate any gang rules. This guy who did not belong to the Punishment Hall came up and acted like he was going to ask for punishment. If he swallowed his anger and obeyed, it would only make the other party more arrogant and domineering. The Whale Gang is not a united, friendly and harmonious family. There are hundreds of official gang members in the Linhe Branch, and thousands of peripheral members. There are many factions inside, and there are constant open and secret struggles. Only masters and strong men can get the respect and recognition of everyone! The most important thing is that there is a rule in the gang rules. Private fights between fellow disciples are strictly prohibited.
Those who kill each other must be stabbed three times and six times, and then put into a pig cage and sunk in the river as a warning to others! So Zhang Yuan had no pressure to confront him. And his words were too sarcastic, just like stabbing the heart with a harpoon. The thin man was so angry that he was fuming, and even his nose was crooked. "Okay, okay!" The thin man laughed angrily: "Dong Yuanwei really taught a good apprentice!" "I might as well tell you that I am Chao Bao from the outer hall. This river bay has now been requisitioned by our outer hall. Go fishing somewhere else in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" "Expropriation of the outer hall?" Zhang Yuan sneered: "Why don't I know about this? You said to requisition it? Are you the head of the outer hall?" This guy named Chao Bao is definitely bluffing. If the Outer Hall really wanted to requisition the River Bay area, then Chen Zhize, as the Outer Hall's incense master, could not have been unaware of it. Chen Zhize will definitely tell Zhang Yuan! Chao Bao was choked by his retort and his face was extremely ugly. He roared in anger: "Okay, you wait, I will go to Dong Yuanwei to ask for an explanation!" Chao Bao actually wanted to jump onto Zhang Yuan's boat and chop him into meat sauce on the spot. But three or four people on the two boats were watching. Without the guarantee that the news would not be leaked, he did not dare to risk the world's disapproval and attack Zhang Yuan. Otherwise, his backer would be lost! But he was so embarrassed by Zhang Yuan that he really couldn't bear it. Chao Bao stared at Zhang Yuan with eyes full of resentment, as if the latter was a mortal enemy! "Only children would complain to adults!" Zhang Yuan was not afraid and sneered: "If you have the guts, let's go to the grudge platform now to decide who is better and who is worse!" The grudge platform, as the name suggests, is a decisive battle arena for resolving grudges. Located next to the Whale Castle martial arts arena! This grudge-solving platform is also used to resolve grudges between gang members, usually only to determine who is better. Rarely a life-and-death battle! Zhang Yuan's words immediately forced Chao Bao into a difficult situation. If he didn't dare to agree, it would be like admitting that he was a child complaining to an adult. If he agreed... Chao Bao really didn't have the confidence to defeat Zhang Yuan. Especially Zhang Yuan's sonorous and confident words, not like an angry teenager with blood on his chest at all.
"You are so cruel!" Chao Bao felt that he was no match for Zhang Yuan in bickering, so he looked at Zhang Yuan hatefully and said, "Let's go!" The four people on the two boats turned around and left in a huff.
