In fact, the racial composition within the sea people is quite complex.
Just based on the respiratory organs, there are two types of breathing: gill breathing and pulmonary breathing.
Not to mention the differences in other morphological characteristics.
Even the dragon spirit species, as the rulers, should actually be classified as the spirit race in essence.
The internal racial composition of the demon race is also complex. The demon race had a common enemy in the early days of its formation - the beast race.
Therefore, although there are factional struggles among them now, they all recognize their identity as the demon clan.
But the sea people are different.
The unification of the sea people was achieved through the efforts of the royal family of the dragon spirit species.
Therefore, even today, many ethnic groups still introduce themselves to others by starting with their family surname.
Instead of saying directly that he is a sea creature.
This is the case with the Cheng family.
This type of family is not likely to betray the sea people.
The roots of their family are tied to the sea people. As a community of interests, there is no reason for them to betray the sea people.
But this does not mean that they are loyal to the Dragon Spirit Seed.
After all, the common people don’t know how you, the Dragon King, came to power, but how could these powerful people who helped you to build the empire not know?
Especially the old man of the Cheng family, Cheng Wenjie, an old fox who only has the merit of "following the dragon".
I know this very well.
It is for this reason that he spares no effort in cultivating his offspring and expanding his family.
At the same time, one of the research institutes was taken control.
There are many such interest communities based on families within the sea tribe.
In order to ensure the loyalty of internal members, they will be quite "protective".
So when Cheng Wenjie learned that a descendant of a branch of the family had gotten into trouble, the first thing he did was to call on his connections to find out the details.
Immediately afterwards, after confirming that this younger generation of the family had an accident while working for the crown prince, he immediately decided to help.
"Everyone else, don't move yet. I'll take someone to the Second Research Institute to take a look."
Cheng Wenjie held the communicator in his hand and spoke in a serious tone.
The voice on the other end of the communicator replied "yes" and then asked.
"Grandfather, Ayan messed up the task assigned by the Crown Prince. Will this affect the court?"
When the Cheng family prospers, they all prosper, and naturally, they also suffer together.
If Cheng Yan really messed up the mission and offended the Second Research Institute as rumored.
This may create an image that the family is not worthy of being reused and affect the position of the entire Cheng family in the ruler's mind.
Cheng Wenjie could sense some uneasiness in the other party's voice, and thought that he was worried that it would affect his subsequent promotion in the court.
"Don't worry," he soothed her, "if this is handled properly, it might even allow us to make further progress."
He stopped there and said no more.
The two talked for a while before the communication was disconnected.
While Cheng Wenjie was talking to his family members, a lot of "rumors" about this matter were circulating within the Hai clan.
For example, remarks began to emerge that the Second Research Institute was trying to intimidate the envoys sent by the crown prince.
At the same time, a troop trained by the Cheng family set out
Although this army consists of only ten people, they all have the strength of the ninth realm of the earth.
Moreover, he also leads a large number of sea beasts.
These people's target is the Second Research Institute.
The sea beasts they led were nominally living experimental materials used as apology.
But these obedient behemoths can charge into battle for the Cheng family at any time, ensuring that the family members sent out have enough confidence.
Cheng Wenjie is very confident about this configuration.
Little did they know that the Second Research Institute was now like a den of wolves and tigers, and going there would be like delivering food to one's doorstep.
…
At the same time, the second force sent by Yuan Li also set off quietly.
After the team of messengers he sent lost contact with him, various "rumors" began to spread among the people like a plague.
Many of these are Yuanli's work.
Apart from that, he did not take immediate action, but chose to wait for public opinion to ferment.
Until those "rumors" became more and more noisy.
It even started to become a topic of conversation among ordinary people after dinner.
Yuan Licai finally decided to send more people to the Second Research Institute.
It is obvious that his purpose in doing this was to blame the Second Institute for the deaths of all these people later.
Thus hiding their true purpose.
However, as the saying goes, things never happen three times.
This behavior of repeatedly asking his subordinates to "deliver food" is obviously not what a crown prince should do.
Although the Dragon King is sealed, he is not a fool.
If Yuan Li continues to send soldiers to their deaths again and again, his identity as a puppet will most likely be exposed.
It is not worth taking such a big risk for a little bit of blood food.
So, this batch of sea creatures is the last batch.
Sure enough, if one wants to obtain more flesh and blood in a fair and honest way, the only way is probably through war.
…
On the other side, the human city.
Just as the high-level human speakers were discussing whether to continue cooperating with the demon race, important information came back.
It was this news that made the human race leaders determined to secretly stop cooperating with the demon race.
"This is the material purchase list and some account books that Mr. Yan Fei and Mr. Lu Qianyu found in the Sand Sea Laboratory."
The procurement list includes a large number of materials produced in the orc territory.
The account book also records cooperation with certain businesses and transaction details.
Some of these trading companies are very large, and they also have their presence on the human side.
Therefore, it is easy to find out that some of their business presidents have a beastman background.
"We suspect that the demon tribe has secretly maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with some forces of the beast tribe."
After hearing this, the speakers all frowned.
It seems that this speculation is more serious than any biological modification experiment.
As an ally, quietly cooperating with outsiders is, to put it more seriously, a betrayal.
Therefore, it is meaningless to discuss whether to continue cooperation.
Once fragile trust collapses, it cannot be rebuilt overnight.
…
Inside the Second Research Institute, the blood mist became thinner.
A portion of the RC cells in vitro were collected to reduce energy consumption.
He waited, waiting for the next and last batch of prey to come.
Time passed minute by minute, and about three hours later, movement appeared one kilometer outside the ice wall.
Someone arrived early.
It is impossible to tell which faction this team belongs to, but, precisely because of this, it is easier to judge his origins.
This is the troop sent by the crown prince.
Because they are not a regular army and need to keep a low profile, they do not have any markings.
They came to the ice wall, but it did not open automatically like last time.
Instead, let them unlock it slowly on their own.
Zi Sui slowly increased the complexity of the gate lock, waiting for the arrival of other sea creatures.
