RANKING OF KINGS: MY LAND IS SSS RANK

Chapter 930 - 930 Arrival of the Black Emperor



930 Arrival of the Black Emperor

“What should we do? Do we really have to retreat now? This poisonous fog is so potent that ferocious birds that fall into it are instantly poisoned to death. Fierce beasts have much stronger bodies than humans. Death is imminent and unavoidable if we go in,” the people in Honeysuckle City exclaimed as they watched the poisonous fog unaffected by the hurricane.

“General Zhao, I have Jinyin Detoxifying Pill. Why don’t we try them and see if they can neutralize the toxicity of the poisonous fog? As long as they can eliminate the poison, we can quickly pass through the fog,” suggested Jin Buyin, the castellan of Honeysuckle City.

Zhao Yun nodded, signaling his agreement. “Alright, catch a rabbit and let it swallow the Jinyin Detoxifying Pill. Throw it into the poisonous fog to see the effect,” he said.

Jinyin Detoxifying Pill had a good reputation in the Kingdom of Dawn and was one of the best antidotes. If it turned out to be effective, passing through the poisonous fog would not be a problem, and this disaster could be easily mitigated.

Someone found a rabbit and fed it the Jinyin Detoxifying Pill. Despite the rabbit’s valiant struggle, it was thrown into the poisonous fog without hesitation, and it was quickly engulfed by the fog.

The rabbit was immediately frightened and started scrambling around, trying to escape to a safe place. It seemed to pay little attention to the surrounding poisonous fog. Unlike the ferocious birds, it did not die instantly upon contact with the fog.

“It worked.”

“Jinyin Detoxifying Pills are indeed effective.”

Someone showed a look of joy on their face as they witnessed the effect of the pills.

“No, look, the rabbit is poisoned,” said someone as their features softened with concern.

“It’s really poisoned. It’s lying on the ground, struggling. It seems that Jinyin Detoxifying Pills can resist the poison to a certain extent, but they cannot completely remove the toxicity. It is still lethal. It’s impossible to pass through this poisonous fog in such a short time.”

The lively rabbit struggled violently in the poisonous fog. After a few short breaths, it kicked its legs and fell to the ground motionless.

“Jinyin Detoxifying Pill is effective, but the effect is weak and cannot completely eliminate the toxicity of the dense fog. Even if it can resist for a while, Honeysuckle City is unable to provide so many pills to hundreds of thousands of troops plus civilians,” Zhou Qing said, shaking his head.

This solution was unrealistic and had an absurdly high cost. Forcing their way through with medicine was obviously not feasible.

“Mr. Jiang, can we take a detour to avoid this poisoned area?” Zhao Yun asked Jiang He.

“We can take a detour, but the poisonous fog can also change direction. Avoiding this poisoned area by changing routes only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. There’s no way to avoid it,” Jiang He said, shaking his head.

Since this poisonous fog was caused by the foreign race, they must have a way to control it. Taking a detour would not solve the problem. The best solution was still to obliterate the poisonous fog.

“What do we do now? Strategist Zhou, do you have any idea?” Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Qing with hopeful eyes.

Zhou Qing looked troubled. Even a hurricane proved unable to disperse the poisonous fog. Extraordinary measures would be needed to eliminate it.

The key was to understand why it was unaffected by hurricanes.

“This poisonous fog is not an ordinary poison. It has a living spirit.”

Li Xiang did not take immediate action. He stood on the city wall, quietly observing the distant poisonous fog.

At this moment, a voice resounded in his ear.

He turned around and saw a balding black dog beside him.

“Black Emperor, why are you here? What are you doing here in Honeysuckle City? Aren’t you looking for your flower girl to breed offspring?” Li Xiang said with a frown.

Although his body was bald, the murky aura on his body could not escape his eyes.

“I want to make a significant contribution. I, the Black Emperor, know that the migration of Honeysuckle City this time is to expand the territory. I cannot possibly miss such a major event. Thus, I have come without a second thought, just to help the army at a critical moment and dedicate myself to the great cause of expanding the territory. At that time, Master, you will make me the National Beast of the Dawn Dynasty.”

Black Emperor looked at Li Xiang and spoke loudly, with a trace of resentment in his eyes.

It felt a little aggrieved that even though it had been following Li Xiang for a long time, it had not received any reward while so many others had been granted the Heaven and Earth Rank.

Considering the merits that Black Emperor had achieved, it was unjust to have left it out of commendation.

“The title of National Beast is bestowed to a race. Black Emperor, you cannot bear it just yet. Nonetheless, it’s still possible to grant you the title of the National Mythical Beast. Moreover, the National Beast can only be conferred when we have ascended to an empire,” Li Xiang said calmly.

He recognized every single one of Black Emperor’s achievements and would not treat him unfairly.

“Well then, the National Mythical Beast is fine, but it must be prefixed with two words. The First National Mythical Beast.”

Black Emperor said without any reservation, flashing a triumphant gleam in its eyes.

While it was fine to be the National Mythical Beast instead of the National Beast, Black Emperor’s exceptional status demanded that it be the foremost holder of such a title.

The most critical thing was to suppress that golden feathered bird. That was of utmost importance.

As soon as it thought of that golden bird, its eyes blazed with fury.

After the Black Emperor accomplished great feats and went to show off to the golden-winged Peng Bird, it was completely ignored. Instead, the bird flapped its wings and pointed to a group of Golden-Scaled Birds soaring in the sky, shining with golden light under the sun.

Inside the bird’s nest, there was a heap of golden eggs, with the Wind Pterosaur King perched on top, hatching them. It was only a matter of time that another sizable brood of Golden-Scaled Birds would soon emerge.

It was a thriving and proliferating race!

The idea of the golden-winged Peng bird becoming the National Mythical Beast unsettled the Black Emperor.

It also wished to have more puppies! However, that flower girl’s stomach was disappointing. No matter how hard it tried, there were no results. It even suspected that it might be sick, feeling embarrassed for being inferior in terms of reproduction.

It came out this time because it heard that they were going to expand their territory, so it followed along secretly, determined to make great accomplishments. It could then request Li Xiang to confer it with the title of the National Beast. Perhaps Li Xiang would agree if he was in a good mood.

However, it unexpectedly caught a whiff of Li Xiang’s scent on the city wall.

Although Li Xiang had transformed, that unique scent could not escape its nose. It immediately sensed it and approached surreptitiously.

Li Xiang cast a doubtful look at the Black Emperor and asked, “Do you have a way to deal with this poisonous fog?”
