Chapter 10: The Five Great Families

"Do you know the identity of Zhao Jie?"

"Zhao Jie?" Jiang Hai didn't expect him to ask like this, isn't it just a second ancestor who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Looking at his dress, he should be a big family, but his character really doesn't dare to compliment, so he abandoned his teammates and fled. Look at his solemn expression, shake his head and wait for his next words.

"Then have you heard of the 'Yang Li dispute'?"

Jiang Hai nodded, this naturally knew that Yang Fan was still his senior brother.

"The Yang family and the Li family are behemoths that control half of the empire's economic lifeline, but they are only ranked third or fourth among the Qin Empire family, do you know this?"

Seeing Jiang Hai shaking his head, he continued: "The number one is the Ying family, and the current Emperor Qin is the heir of the Ying family. ”

"The second is the Zhao family behind Zhao Jie, which is different from the new birth family like Tao Li, they are ancient martial arts families with a long heritage. On weekdays, there is very little contact with the outside world, but the slightest action will be shocked by the world. ”

"The third is that the Yang family is a new family, under the leadership of the contemporary patriarch Yang Jingtian, it has leapt forward by leaps and bounds, controlling half of the empire's fortunes, and has a lot of money, so it is the third in exclusion. ”

"The fourth is the Li family, which is no different from the Yang family, and it is also a rich country, which is said to be the result of the support of a hermit clan. ”

"The Fifth Qian family is not an ancient family, nor does it have the financial resources of the first two, and the inheritance is not far away, but they dare to mess with people because they have the right. The right covers the sky, and the prime minister is the head of the family. A family of people in the clan are officials in the court, and the relationship with the Ying family is not shallow, according to legend, the founding of the Ying family was supported by the Qian family. ”

"These are the five great families of the Empire. ”

"Oh, Uncle Wang, who is this ranking?" Jiang Hai was very calm.

"It's not a person, it's a Tianji Gate. ”

Jiang Hai frowned, and when he heard this organization again, it seemed that there was nothing they didn't know, no wonder he dared to use the name of heaven.

"Didn't Tianjimen rank himself in, he had the information of so many people, but no one provoked him, and he was extraordinary when he thought about it. Jiang Hai said with doubts.

"You are wrong, although the Tianji Gate is spread over the entire continent, it does not belong to any empire, and it is a domain of its own outside of detachment, so it is naturally not among the families of the Qin Empire. ”

Jiang Hai had to admire the actions of this Tianji Gate, and it was really good! If he was attached to any empire, he would naturally be able to get strong support and become an intelligence organization. But there is so much information, even secrets. Other families and even empires must be suppressed, but they are afraid that there is a risk of destruction. How can it be like now, with those secrets, and wandering around all sides to find balance, so that all parties are in awe of checks and balances.

"Wait, I said that I am only twenty-three years old, I am still young and not an uncle, I have tried my best to say so much, is the point of Tianjimen?" Wang Yang hated iron and steel.

"Got it, uncle, you are for my good, I want to know the size of the Zhao family. Although I provoked Zhao Jie, I don't think they should trouble me for such an unsuccessful heir, thank you!"

"Thank you, a ghost, it's not an uncle. I heard that Zhao Jie is the contemporary son of the Zhao family, you have to be careful. Wang Yang was excited and did not forget to warn.

Jiang Hai also said seriously: "I am a martial artist pursuing martial arts, and the road ahead is already confused, if you really face them because of this, you should sharpen it." ”

Wang Yang didn't say anything anymore, because he saw the perseverance in Jiang Hai's eyes. Scratched the meat with a knife and sniffed the meat. "It's baked, let's eat it. ”

......

The sun is scorching, hot and scorching, although it is a deep valley, there is no wind at this time, but fortunately, the vegetation is still dense and does not make people faint. Jiang Hai and several people lay motionless in a bush, their eyes staring at them.

A group of demonic beasts are perching in front of them, and only a few of them are guarding around, which can be regarded as guards, and this is the thunder light beast that a few people are looking for.

It is said that it is a beast, but in fact it is just a giant reptile, because it likes yin and fears yang and lives in the valley, so its whole body is green. The body is wrapped in layers of carapace section by section, only a little soft flesh is exposed at the joints, and the waist is the thickness of a bucket, eight or nine feet high. Even the tallest external refiner, Wang Yang, was also thin in front of them, and there was a blue protrusion the size of a copper mirror between a pair of tentacles on the top of his head, which was the thunder light angle, with an electric current fluctuating inside, but his abdomen was tender white but also had a thick carapace. There were nearly 100 feet, all of them as thick as a child's arm.

The academy issued a bounty task, and did not introduce its appearance, and several people were also shocked when they first saw it, when had they seen such a huge reptile, and the bristles all over their bodies looked terrifying. Not to mention the green thick liquid that overflowed from the corners of his mouth between his breaths, even the arrogant Sima Lan was disgusted when he saw it. What people didn't expect was that they actually lived in groups, like a family with a clear division of labor. The head of the house, the biggest insect, was lying in the most comfortable position, and the two guards beside him were close to him, and below were ordinary insects, lying in a heap, and the rest of the guards surrounded them in a circle, on guard.

Everyone didn't know what to do, this was not one, but a group of fourth-order demonic beasts, which couldn't be killed like before. If you attract one and wake up the other thunder beasts that are sleeping, I am afraid that there will be a few people who will be besieged. In the end, Tan Feng suggested waiting until they scattered to forage to see if they could find the lone one.

A few people could only wait and watch them sleep. It's just that everyone didn't expect that the wait would be a few hours. Wangyang, who was anxious, said directly: "Boss, this thing can't be nocturnal, it's not a matter for us to wait like this." ”

Tan Feng looked at his third brother and said slowly: "Judging from their habits, it should be nocturnal activities, we can only wait, otherwise what are we going to do, this burning plain is really dangerous, let's evacuate quickly if we get to Lei Guangjiao." ”

Seeing the boss say this, he can only be patient. As soon as night fell, the largest thunder beast woke up faintly, opened its eyes and hissed a few times, as if the boss had given an order. Hearing the leader's voice, the sleeping beasts got up one after another and bowed their heads to the leader.

Then the leader gave another order, and the guards who had been guarding lay down to sleep, leaving a few for them to sentry, and the rest crawled out with the leader.

Let the people who were originally waiting for the opportunity can't help but complain, they are really well-trained, and there are still people rotating day and night, and there is no chance at all, so they can only quietly follow to find the lonely.

I thought that this group of thunder beasts was planning to forage for food, but who would have thought that they would actually drink water and bathe in the bath.

A group of beasts surrounded the water source, the leader drank the water, and then entered the pool to bathe, and the two relatively petite thunder beasts also followed into the pool, seeing this scene, the rest of the thunder beasts turned around one after another, and turned their backs to the pool to be on guard. The two Thunder Beasts crawled up to the leader, one of them wiping the leader's body with a pair of feet on his belly, and the other behind him, thumping his back.

A group of people were stunned, they didn't expect this thunder light beast to be so corrupt, the petite one was obviously a female, and it was okay to bathe together and two of them. Maybe I learned it from some people.

After the leader finished bathing, the other thunder beasts entered the pool one by one to bathe, and the hierarchical uniforms were strict and orderly.

After all the beasts were washed, the sky was completely dark, and the eyes of the thunder beast that shone on the dark green under the night spread outward, and the hunt began.

Jiang Hai and his party chose one of them to follow and wait for the opportunity to attack, the leader's thunder light angle looked very big, but there were too many guards around him, and he was not the target.

There are rocks in the valley, but the thunder beast crawls fast, and it is also good to have more feet. Everyone had to speed up their pace, seeing that they had traveled a few miles, away from the beasts, the thunder beast in front of them stopped, only to see that everyone was about to make a move, but it was for Jiang Hai to stop.

"Hide!" Jiang Hai said in a hurry.

Everyone was puzzled, but they still complied, and after everyone hid, they saw that the thunder beast had stopped, and another demonic beast had appeared in front of them.

There was also a faint glow in his eyes, and his figure was taller than the Thunder Light Beast, and the beast approached everyone to see that it was a jungle spotted leopard.

The jungle spotted leopard, a branch of the leopard species, is one foot two feet high, with strong arms and a body like a mountain, strong steel claws, and the markings on the body spread outward in circles, like blooming buds. Because he lives in the jungle area, he has the reputation of this spot, but he has a violent personality and is very bloodthirsty.

At this moment, he slowly approached the Thunder Light Beast, swirling in front of it, his eyes examining his opponent like a torch, his steel teeth showing sticky liquid dripping, his back arched, his claws were constantly digging the ground, and the faint cold light flickered with him, ready to attack.

And the Thunder Light Beast also stood upright, with a carapace on its back, covering the bare little soft flesh, like a fighter wearing armor. The bristles on his body danced wildly, like wisps of long whips, and the single horn on his forehead bloomed at this time, and the cyan electricity actually fluttered on the horns. Although the abdomen is not long, it is neatly arranged, and it is a short stick, and it must not taste good when hit on the body.

Both are dark hunters and fourth-order demonic beasts, and today's encounter will naturally not give up, and only one of the two remains. The winner can have a good meal and a chance to break through to a deeper area with a larger field, and the loser can only be used as a mermaid to feed his stomach into a pile of dry bones.

Everyone wished that they would lose both, sit and reap the fishermen, and save some energy. It's just that the spotted leopard, although it is furious, is not stupid, knowing that the thunder beast lives in groups, it does not attack rashly, but only grinning in front of it, making vicious acts, in order to test whether there are any companions nearby. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any other thunder light beasts, and he was sure that he had no companions, so he stepped back and pounced on the thunder light beasts.

The thunder beast had already finished accumulating, and the single horn on its head discharged in the direction where the spotted leopard pounced, and a cyan current was like a green snake, quickly biting the spotted leopard that pounced.

It was already in a hurry, but it quickly stretched out its front paws, and several cold lights stood out, knocking the green snake aside, but its figure also stopped because of this, and it did not get close to the body of the thunder light beast.

"Boom" The green snake hit the side of the rocks and exploded instantly, black smoke rose, the stones were torn apart, and the electricity merged into the ground in unwillingness.

"Roar", the jungle spotted leopard roared, staring fiercely at the thunder light beast.
