In the Divine Tree Continent Breakthrough Secret Realm, Lu Ran saw the effects of the ferocious plants and was inspired to have Dark Crow study the power of ferocious plants, specifically researching plant curses.
In fact, Dark Crow had indeed been researching, but as for effectiveness, well, after all this ti, only one had been successful.
The red dandelion, a ferocious plant, has parasitic effects when its seeds land on a living being, causing their entire body to grow red hair, which then severely disrupts energy flow within the body, making it difficult for the living being to release skills.
At first glance, it might not seem like a particularly powerful effect, but the red dandelion is notorious in the realm of ferocious plants because, although it doesn’t pose a strong threat by itself, it is an excellent accomplice to other ferocious plants, often allowing them to overpower their prey with little resistance.
After studying the ferocious plants found throughout the ruins, it turned out that the red dandelion had the highest compatibility with Dark Crow, mainly because its base curse had a similar effect of disrupting the enemy’s psyche.
At the mont,
combined with the target lock, the Red Hair Curse hit Manager Ying unexpectedly, causing a mont of chaos in their energy flow. Seizing this opportunity, Ugly Cow’s eyes brightened, and with a roar, it swung its hamr at the red-haired cat.
With a "bang," the psychic shield, lacking Manager Ying’s control, was shattered by Ugly Cow’s blow, sending a huge shockwave that hurled Manager Ying’s figure out of the factory.
This long-distance coordination left everyone present stunned, but in the next mont, they all felt a terrifying oppression rising.
"Damn crow." Although it was the first ti being hit, Manager Ying seed unhard, just a bit disheveled and covered in dust.
Filled with rage, Manager Ying found a way to remove the Red Hair Curse. The curse, while bizarre, seed insufficient to affect Manager Ying for long, for after a re mont, they stabilized the energy flow and let flas envelope their body, burning away the parasitic red hairs.
At the sa ti, they glared at Ugly Cow.
Ugly Cow seed to be instantly drawn into an illusion, standing still on the spot as various skill effects disappeared from their body...
Seeing this, Lin Nian and many others from the twelve Zodiacs looked at each other in dismay.
"It’s fine now, Manager Ying’s strength is undoubtedly adequate," Gu Qingyi promptly said.
"Yes, to completely overpower and defeat Ugly Cow in an instant, there’s no question about their strength," Lin Nian said. "Moreover, Lu Ran is currently... with Dog in Green Sea City."
"If Ugly Cow is helpless against Manager Ying, but Lu Ran’s Pet Beast army can still disturb Manager Ying across such a great distance, their strategic value is also confird, isn’t it?"
A simple exchange of blows made all the twelve Zodiacs trust in Manager Ying’s strength.
At that mont, Rat leaped down from the rooftop, looking at the proud Manager Ying, said, "As expected of Manager Ying, it looks like we’re set."
"So we follow the original plan??"
......
Several days later.
As the deadline set by the Black Dragon drew ever closer, even though the officials of Xia Country repeatedly reassured the people, it couldn’t calm the general panic.
According to the original plan, Gu Qingyi, acting as bait, went to an island far from Xia Country and released the Sea Blue Dragon, intentionally making its presence known in an attempt to lure the Black Dragon there to settle the score.
Besides Gu Qingyi, many First Generations had also arrived, only they were waiting inside Infinity City, prepared to join the fray when the Black Dragon arrived.
In addition to the First Generation, on the island, there was a different space created by Manager Ying. Inside, the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast and the Ancient Crested Crane were both pursing their lips, looking at the cats in front of them.
In the end, these two ancient creatures were persuaded by Xia Country to participate in the battle.
The reason why the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast and the Ancient Crested Crane, originally reluctant to join the battle, ca after all was because Xia Country claid they didn’t need to be the main forces and fight to the death, just to exert pressure on the Black Dragon.
Of course, the main reason was that Manager Ying took action, enticing the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast and the Ancient Crested Crane with so information.
"Don’t look so gloomy; have a little confidence," Manager Ying said to them, shrugging their shoulders.
"After all, it is a Level 70 Overlord Dragon King." The Ancient Iron-Eating Beast comnted with a click of the tongue, "In ancient tis, tribes would avoid such a creature if they could. You’re actually planning to hunt it down."
"We have no choice; when it’s threatening an entire country, any force with a bit of integrity cannot accept such a threat," Manager Ying explained.
"Hmph, I hope everything goes smoothly." The Ancient Crested Crane issued a cool female voice, speaking in the human language, just like Manager Ying.
Outside,
Gu Qingyi, clad in a white trench coat, sat on the Sea Blue Dragon, gazing out at the sea and let out a sigh.
The Black Dragon, already in possession of at least two Dragon Balls, was extrely sensitive to the energy of Dragon Balls. Gu Qingyi and the Sea Blue Dragon had rely been active in Devil City for so ti before being located by it. Now, as Gu Qingyi and the Sea Blue Dragon intentionally made their presence known and continually emitted their energy, they could not escape the Black Dragon’s notice.
In the deep sea,
a huge figure was moving swiftly through the water.
After a while,
the sea surface churned.
Whirlpools, waves, dark clouds, thunder, hurricanes—various phenona appeared one after another, and accompanied by a dragon’s roar, an imnse figure erged from the sea, causing Gu Qingyi’s expression to change.
"Roar————"
At that mont, the colossal Black Dragon, coldly staring at Gu Qingyi and the Sea Blue Dragon below her, also let out a ghastly laugh.
[The Dragon Ball is indeed here, but luring here seems to say they don’t want to give it up easily.]
[Do you really think you can lure here and kill off?]
To their surprise, the Black Dragon King was unexpectedly intelligent, and instantly realized that Beast Trainers of Xia Country had drawn it to this place because they did not wish to part with the Dragon Ball.
"A monstrous beast, and yet so sharp-witted," Gu Qingyi said with a cold expression.
Indeed, this Black Dragon that had grown to Level 70 was no less intelligent than humans.
Xia Country had hoped to lead the Black Dragon to a remote place to kill it, but in that mont, as Gu Qingyi took a deep breath, Data Eye told her that this Black Dragon before her was not the real Black Dragon at all, but an energy avatar!!!
[I did give you a chance, but since you don’t want it, don’t bla for being impolite.] The Black Dragon glared furiously.
[Starting now, just having the Dragon Ball isn’t enough. If you don’t compensate with two epic resources, I will flood the Continent!!]
At that mont, the Black Dragon avatar issued a further threat, making Gu Qingyi firmly realize that the enemy coveted not just the Dragon Ball, but also the land itself. The situation was heading in the difficult direction everyone had feared.
"To hell with you!!!"
There was no room for the Black Dragon avatar to issue any more threats, as out of the Void there ca a powerful telekinetic vibration, descending upon the Black Dragon avatar and crushing the energy avatar to bits.
Manager Ying appeared out of nowhere, looked at Gu Qingyi, and said, "It’s just as the think tank analyzed, the Black Dragon initially aid to threaten Xia Country and extort more resources."
"The Dragon Ball was only the beginning."
"Sending an avatar here shows it doesn’t want a head-on confrontation with us, but rather... it plans to use the tens of millions of people in Devil City as hostages to force Xia Country into submission and hand over more resources."
The Black Dragon was well aware of the human nations’ vulnerability: the need to protect the countless ordinary people. It was confident that Xia Country would definitely not want to wage war near Devil City—fighting there could easily claim the lives of millions.
It planned to use this to make Xia Country hesitate to engage in battle with it.
Naturally, Xia Country might have the power to severely wound it, yet the Black Dragon believed it would not be possible to fend it off without any cost.
Though the Black Dragon was no fool, knowing how to make use of advantageous conditions to acquire resources, Xia Country had similarly anticipated such a scenario and entertained the possibility that the Black Dragon might bypass their defenses and directly invade Devil City.
As the Black Dragon had speculated, Xia Country indeed did not wish to wage war or slay the Black Dragon near Devil City.
Any damage to Devil City would be unacceptable to the League, after all. They had already made that promise to the people of Devil City.
"Manager Ying, it looks like we can only rely on you now," Gu Qingyi said with a solemn face.
"Got it..." At that mont, Manager Ying’s figure also gradually vanished as she underwent a space teleportation.
At this very mont.
The ocean vibrated incessantly. The scouts of the Fishman Empire, who were cooperating with Xia Country, sensitively detected that dozens of sea beasts with terrifying strength were swimming from the deep sea towards various coastal cities of Xia Country.
There was even an especially terrifyin energy fluctuation heading straight for the offshore area of Devil City.
Boom!!!
In the sky above the mariti area of Devil City, dark clouds gathered again, thunder roared continuously, and terrifying energy fluctuations rampaged in the Tianqiong. Seeing this change, the people of Devil City turned pale, panic-stricken, knowing that it could be the Black Dragon making another appearance.
Thankfully, the League had anticipated this scenario. The officials stationed at various points around Devil City acted swiftly to maintain order, preventing chaos from breaking out.
However, if they didn’t resolve the issue of the Black Dragon, the greatest threat, then the current maintenance of order would be for naught. Once the battle began, Devil City would still end up in ruins.
"Roar!!!!"
The massive Black Dragon approached Devil City, and at that mont, online forums in Xia Country and internationally exploded with activity.
The Black Dragon has arrived!
But... what brought the whole world and even the Black Dragon to a stunned pause was that, aside from the hundreds of ters long Black Dragon, an even more colossal figure suddenly erged on the beach of Devil City, standing in the way of the Black Dragon’s inevitable path to enter Devil City.
"ow-woah————"
The piercing ow echoed throughout Devil City, instantly causing many Beast Trainers guarding the city to look bewildered.
"What’s going on?"
As the Black Dragon approached Devil City, it was certain that soone from Xia Country would attempt to stop it, be it the First Generation, the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast, the Crested Crane, or even the Divine Deer. But at this mont, that loud ow threw everyone off.
Who is it?
This creature, just by its size, looked to be even larger than the Black Dragon. The Beast Trainers defending the frontlines of Devil City hadn’t yet made out its true form but were the first to see nine tails flickering through the clouds like mountain ranges, majestic and shocking!
"Nine tails??? A Nine-Tailed Fox???"
Soone exclaid in shock, recalling that no one in Xia Country had cultivated a formidable Nine-Tailed Fox Pet Beast.
"No, that looks more like... cat tails!?"
