I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 33: Asking for an exorbitant sum led to a minor embarrassment.

The next day.

The sixth day of the fifth lunar month.

In Shangyang City, Zuo Jing possessed the body of Zhao Erwuba, a first-class assassin, and was holding a necklace obtained from Lei Chengen. The necklace was very exquisite, and was even made of smooth and round small bones strung together.

Do you know what these little bones are?
It was nothing other than finger bones obtained by cutting off the little fingers of five- or six-year-old children!

Carefully selected.

Meticulously crafted.

Lei Yuanwen has gone to such extremes simply because his beloved son likes these little gadgets!
A small necklace of finger bones contains more than a dozen finger bones.
Conservative estimates suggest that at least a dozen children have been harmed.

cruel!

Damn!

Lei Yuanwen, you're not a human being!

Zuo Jing, possessed by a bodyguard, strode to the Lei residence gate with the finger bone necklace in hand and instructed the gatekeeper to announce, "Master Qin, quickly go and call Lei Yuanwen. His wife and children, who went back to visit their family yesterday, are now in my hands."

Hey!
The doorman suddenly stood up: "What did you say!"

Zuo Jing repeated, "Uncle Qin, hurry and call Lei Yuanwen. His wife and children, who went back to visit their family yesterday, are in my hands now."

The doorman understood this time.

He shouted, "Men! Seize him!"

"Yes, sir!"

Seven or eight servants rushed up and pinned Zhao Erwu to the ground.

Zuo Jing cried out in pain, "Just because the gatekeeper had someone hold me down and hurt me, I will not exchange a single word with the Lei family for the next two days!"

Finished.

I decisively left, planning to come back in two days.

Anyway, it's Lei Yuanwen who should be worried now.

and.

His words are unsubstantiated.

These two days are just the right time for Lei Yuanwen and the Lei family to verify.

By the time.

That makes things easier to discuss.

Zuo Jing withdrew.

Zhao Erwu was held down tightly.

Keep a close eye on them!

The gatekeeper instructed the servants to hurry inside and report.

In a panic.

Run, run.

He suddenly had a strange thought: "My surname is Lai, and I'm the second son. Why did that person call me 'Uncle Qin'?"

Strange things!

Confused and panicked, Lai Er went to find Lei Yuanwen.

……

three days later.

The ninth day of the fifth lunar month.

The fifth day since Jiang Yun and her son were kidnapped.

Zuo Jing possessed Zhao Erwuba again: "Hiss!"

It still hurts!
Actually, he kept his word and had come yesterday, but Zhao Erwuba had just finished being tortured, and when he arrived, he was in so much pain that he felt like he was dying.

Get out of there quickly.

I waited another day before finally mustering the courage to come again.

'That Lei family!'

'So ill-mannered!'

Zuo Jing made a note of it. He sat on the stool and opened his eyes.

Lei Yuanwen, dressed in a long robe, sat down in front of him, looking exhausted with bloodshot eyes. When he saw the man in front of him open his eyes, he didn't take it seriously. In the past three days, he had tried many methods, but he couldn't get the man to utter a single word.

Torture is fine too.

Temptation it may be.

All useless.

During this period, Lei Yuanwen issued twelve orders, mobilizing twelve elite squads to search for the whereabouts of his wife and children, but all of them came to nothing.

He has no temper.

He turned around, wanting to talk to the person, but the person completely ignored him.

Lei Yuanwen was irritable and irritable.

He tried to stay calm.

At this moment.

She has no temper at all.

But suddenly, he heard a hoarse voice: "Lei Yuanwen".

"Um?!"

Lei Yuanwen's expression brightened, and he stared intently at Zhao Erwu: "You've finally spoken! Tell me, where are my wife and children? Who are you people? What do you want?"

This person talks too much and has too many questions.

Zuo Jing didn't want to argue with him much, and he didn't understand negotiation skills either.

In short.

The advantage lies with us; we can simply be tough.

Zuo Jing opened his mouth: "I speak, you listen; I ask, you answer; I speak, you respond, understand?"

"Tell me quickly!"

Where are they?!

"Or I'll kill your whole family!"

Lei Yuanwen was extremely angry.

Zuo Jing glanced at him: "You're still not calm enough. Then calm down for three more days, and we'll talk again in three days."

He closed his eyes.

He didn't say anything more.

"I'm calm enough!"

"I've already calmed down, otherwise I would have already skinned you alive!"

"say!"

"answer my question!"

"Why aren't you saying anything?" "..."

"……alright."

"Now you can tell me what your demands are. As long as my wife and children return safely, I will try my best to meet them."

"Your organization sent you alone on a suicide mission, so you must be a nobody."

"It's already been three days. Are you sure you want to delay any longer?"

"Won't the people behind you be unhappy about this?"

"think about it!"

"Don't be motivated!"

"..."

"...You son of a bitch!"

"You brat!"

"say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

……

Three more days passed.

May 12th.

Zuo Jing possessed Zhao Erwuba again and found that his body was in good condition, probably because he had rested well for three days.

“It’s okay this time.”

Zuo Jing opened his eyes and saw that Zhao Erwuba's cell had also been furnished, with a bed, tables and chairs, blankets, pillows and tea.

Attentive.

Zuo Jing stood up, poured a cup of tea, and ordered the servants guarding outside, "Go and call Lei Yuanwen to come see me."

"Wait a moment!"

The servants dared not delay and hurriedly went to find Lei Yuanwen.

soon.

Lei Yuanwen arrived in a long robe. He looked even more haggard than he had been a few days ago, which was heartbreaking.

Zuo Jing looked at him: "I'll speak, you listen; I'll ask, you answer; I'll say, you respond; otherwise, I'll kill the hostage, understand?"

Lei Yuanwen was completely calm this time.

After a six-day cooling-off period, he had no more temper.

Listen quietly to what Zuo Jing has to say.

Zuo Jing said, "Originally I only wanted 1,000 catties of precious meat, but you made me wait for six more days, so now I want 6,000 catties."

"..."

Lei Yuanwen's expression shifted, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Zuo Jing granted his permission: "Go ahead and speak."

Lei Yuanwen said urgently, "The entire Jiujiang Province can't produce six thousand catties of precious meat in a year!"

Shit!

Zuo Jing glared: "A single beast can easily be ten feet tall and yield over a thousand or six thousand catties of meat. You could get that by killing just six beasts. How come you can't produce it?"

What a fool!

Does that mean he can't do math?!
Lei Yuanwen became anxious.

That guy is such an amateur!
The moment he heard the outrageous number 'six thousand catties,' he knew that this person, along with the forces behind him, must not have occupied a blessed land, must not have come into contact with strange beasts, and must not know the specific details of the treasure meat.

He intended to mock them.

But I dare not.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to curse, he said in a deep voice, "Indeed, a newly hatched beast can yield thousands of pounds of meat, but only a very small portion around its heart can be called precious meat. A newly hatched beast can only yield about 10 pounds of precious meat."

Six thousand catties?
That would require hunting down six hundred strange beasts.

What concept?
The entire Jiujiang province wouldn't kill that many people in a year.

The Lei family has been operating for many years, from the year they encountered the strange beast until now, a full eight years. In total, they have hunted less than 100, let alone 600, strange beasts.

What kind of person is this!

They really dare to ask.

"..."

Zuo Jing blinked.

A newly hatched mythical beast?
This thing can be bought in installments?
Moreover, it turns out that not all exotic beast meat is called treasure meat?

Bad stuff!

I've shown my weakness!

Zuo Jing was humble and asked questions when he didn't understand: "How are strange beasts classified? Where do they come from?"

Lei Yuanwen now knew this man's temperament, so he went along with him and answered every question: "Similarly, strange beasts and strange humans are basically classified according to their physique—"

A strange beast that is less than ten feet tall but has a body shape that is somewhat mutated from that of a normal wild animal is called a 'newborn stage'.

The period from 1 to X < 2 zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) is called the 'growth period'.

The height of 2 ≤ X < 3 zhang is called the 'mature stage'.

A height of 3 ≤ X < 4 zhang is called a 'complete form'.

A height of 4 ≤ X < 5 zhang is called the 'ultimate form'.

This classification is simple and straightforward, but also intuitive and clear.

indeed.

Bigger is justice.

Generally speaking, the larger the size, the stronger the strength.

The newly hatched beast was nearly 3.3 meters tall, almost the height of two people. How enormous and terrifying it was!
The adult beasts are over 3.3 meters tall, and can reach nearly 6.6 meters, which is as tall as a two-story building. When they stand up, they can reach the floor of the third floor.

terror!
With just a push or a push, a three-story house in the countryside would collapse.

Alien beast?

This is a behemoth, a monster!

Such a strange beast, even in its early stages, is not easy to hunt.

Comparing it to a level 7 assassin with two stages of burning blood, one can roughly imagine the terrifying combat power of a newly hatched alien beast that is nearly 3.3 meters tall.

Even a hundred well-equipped and heavily armed elite soldiers would probably have a hard time hunting them down.

Only with experts like the old man and the maid leading the team would there be any hope.

No wonder that precious meat is so rare.

Six thousand catties?
Hey!

Zuo Jing admitted that he had overestimated the Lei family.
