King of Beasts

Chapter 284: The Approaching Battle

On the Divine Tree Continent, within the breakthrough secret realm, Lu Ran, after witnessing the effects of numerous ferocious plants, conceived the idea for Dark Crow to study the power of these ferocious plants and investigate plant curses.In fact, Dark Crow had been re

At present, with the Black Dragon’s clone further threatening them, Gu Qingyi was convinced that the Black Dragon craved more than just the dragon pearl; it had long coveted the land. The situation was moving in a direction everyone found particularly troublesome.

“Die!!!”

There was no room for further threats from the Black Dragon’s clone. A powerful wave of mental power appeared out of thin air, crashing down on the clone and forcibly crushing it.

Manager Ying emerged from the void and looked at Gu Qingyi, saying, “As expected from our analysis, the Black Dragon’s initial goal was to threaten Xia Country and extort more resources.”

“The dragon pearl was merely a start.”

“The fact that it can send a clone shows it doesn’t intend to engage us directly. Instead, it’s aiming to use the millions of people in Shanghai as hostages to coerce Xia Country into submission, demanding even more resources.”

The Black Dragon understood the soft spot of human nations – their responsibility to protect countless ordinary people. It was certain that Xia Country would be extremely reluctant to battle near Shanghai, as the collateral damage from the conflict could easily claim millions of lives.

The Black Dragon’s plan was to exploit this factor to prevent Xia Country from daring to engage it in battle.

Even though Xia Country might have the ability to severely injure the Black Dragon, it believed there was no way to drive it away without paying a price.

The Black Dragon wasn’t foolish; it knew how to leverage favorable conditions to acquire resources. However, Xia Country anticipated this possibility and considered the scenario where the Black Dragon wouldn’t take the bait and directly invade Shanghai.

As the Black Dragon expected, Xia Country was indeed extremely unwilling to fight or eliminate the Black Dragon near Shanghai.

Any damage to Shanghai would be unacceptable to the Alliance, as guarantees had already been made to the people of Shanghai.

“Manager Ying, it looks like we’re counting on you,” Gu Qingyi said, her expression serious.

“Understood.” At that moment, Manager Ying’s figure faded away as they performed a space teleportation.

At that very moment.

The ocean trembled greatly. Scouts from the Fishman Empire, who were collaborating with Xia Country, were alarmed to discover dozens of terrifyingly powerful sea beasts swimming from the deep sea toward various coastal cities in Xia Country.

Additionally, the most frightening aura of all was heading straight for the outer sea near Shanghai.

Boom!!!

The sky over the Shanghai sea region was once again covered with thick clouds and constant thunder. Terrifying energy waves raged across the heavens. Witnessing this change, the people of Shanghai turned pale with immediate panic, realizing the Black Dragon might be making another appearance.

Fortunately, the Alliance had anticipated this situation. Official personnel stationed throughout Shanghai quicky maintained order, preventing widespread chaos.

However, if the greatest threat-the Black Dragon-was not resolved, maintaining order would prove futile. Once a battle broke out, Shanghai would still risk becoming a wasteland.

“Roar!!!!”

As the enormous Black Dragon approached Shanghai, the internet in Xia Country and international forums exploded with activity.

The Black Dragon was coming!

But… what stunned both the global audience and the Black Dragon itself was a suddenly appearing enormous figure on Shanghai’s beach, blocking the path of the Black Dragon into Shanghai.

“Meow-ow-“

A loud cat cry echoed across the entire city, leaving many beastmasters stationed in Shanghai bewildered.

“What’s happening?”

While it was certain that Xia Country would have someone to stop the Black Dragon as it neared Shanghai-possibly the First Generation, Ancient Iron-Eating Beast, Red-crowned Crane, or even the divine deer-that piercing cat cry left everyone puzzled.

Who was it?

Judging by its sheer size alone, this creature seemed even larger than the Black Dragon. The beastmasters defending Shanghai hadn’t yet caught a glimpse of its main body. Instead, they first saw nine magnificent and breathtaking long tails waving around in the clouds like mountain ranges!!

“Nine tails??? Nine-tailed cat???”
