Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

Chapter 434: Offering

In an underground cave not far from the divine tomb, an army was lying in wait.

This was the Scorpion race army, and the one leading them was Li Qing.

At this moment, the entire army of 30000 people had formed a dense circle.

In the middle of the army, there was a huge altar.

The altar was black with blood-red patterns drawn on it, giving it an evil feeling.

At this moment, all the Scorpion race warriors were kneeling on the ground, bowing to the altar.

Even Li Qing, the Scorpion race leader, had a pious and respectful expression.

On the ground around the altar, a sea of scorpions were crawling. Each of them was the size of an adult’s palm, and the bigger ones were half a meter long. Just looking at them was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

“Offer the sacrifice!” Li Qing shouted.

“Ka ka ka…”

A group of Scorpion race warriors passed through the crowd, carrying humans to the altar.

There were men and women, young and old, and there was a huge number of them.

“Let me go! Let me go! I don’t want to die!”

“D*mn foreign race! You will get your retribution. I curse your Scorpion race to be exterminated!”

“Sob sob sob…”

For a time, all kinds of mournful cries and roars rang out in the cave. Everyone was shrouded in despair.

Under the gazes of so many demon-blooded warriors, there was no way to escape. They could only accept their fate of death in despair.

“Send them to the altar and offer them to the God of Demon!”

Li Qing’s eyes were cold and cruel. He did not hesitate to give the order.

In his eyes, these humans were nothing but livestock. He had no scruples at all.

“Ah…”

The scorpion warriors carried out the order without any hesitation. They threw the humans they were carrying onto the altar.

At this moment, the blood-red light on the altar started to become thicker. There were even wisps of black air rising from the altar, which looked extremely strange and evil.

Those who were thrown in were instantly devoured by the black mist. They didn’t even have the time to scream before their flesh and blood were completely devoured. In the end, not even a residue was left, completely turning into nothingness.

The entire altar was like the mouth of a demon in the abyss. No matter how many people were thrown in, it was still not enough. On the contrary, the black air and blood light on it became thicker and thicker.

Countless people were sacrificed just like that. The process lasted for several hours, and no less than 100,000 people were sacrificed.

At a certain moment, a vast and majestic aura appeared on the altar. A terrifying intent swept through the surroundings.

All the Scorpion warriors immediately lowered their heads and kneeled on the ground with great respect. They were afraid that their small movements would offend the dignity of the God of Demon.

“God of Demon, please grant us your grace and strengthen our Scorpion race. We will offer more sacrifices to you in the future!”

Li Qing loudly stated his request.

“Swish!”

Blacklight suddenly shot down from the altar and instantly enveloped the countless scorpions below.

The black light began to drill into the scorpions’ bodies, and strange cracking sounds began to come out of their bodies.

A terrifying scene began to unfold.

The scorpions that were corroded by the black light began to swell up rapidly. A sharp and strange cry came from these scorpions’ bodies as if they were struggling and roaring.

At the same time, the blood-colored patterns on the altar began to emit rays of blood-colored light that shone on the scorpions.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, one of the scorpions seemed to be unable to withstand the expansion and suddenly exploded. Black flesh and blood scattered in all directions and fell on the other scorpions.

The scorpions that had been splashed by the blood and flesh of their kind seemed to have received nutrients. They immediately absorbed the blood and flesh, and their bodies expanded even faster.

Boom! Boom! Coom!

The continuous expanding and exploding sounds began to appear. Finally, they became one.

The scorpions that were stained with blood and flesh swelled up even faster. Countless scorpions died in the process and exploded into pieces, becoming nourishment for other scorpions. There were also a large number of scorpions that underwent astonishing changes in the process.

After these scorpions had expanded to a certain extent, their carapaces broke, and human upper bodies were revealed. Whether it was their aura or bloodline, they were no different from the other Scorpion race warriors.

Under the stimulation of the altar’s energy, these poisonous scorpions had changed their life form, turning into the Scorpion race.

In fact, the Scorpion race could be produced through other creatures, but the speed was too slow. Li Qing couldn’t wait any longer, so he used this method to quickly produce Scorpion race warriors.

After all, the human race was just livestock to him. It was worth using these people to produce a large number of Scorpion race warriors.

As for human lives, he didn’t care at all.

However, this method couldn’t be used frequently. Although 100,000 people didn’t seem like a lot, it was not a small number either, especially in a place so close to the Kingdom of Dawn. It wasn’t an easy task to find so many people.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Scorpion warriors could travel underground and their whereabouts were concealed, what awaited them would be a disaster once they were discovered by the kingdom.

Although Li Qing was very confident in the strength of the Scorpion race warriors, he wasn’t arrogant enough to rely on his strength to contend against a human kingdom with a population of 400 million.

Below the sacrificial altar, scorpions kept exploding, and new Scorpion race members were born.

After an unknown period, the black demonic air and the blood-red light on the altar had completely disappeared. Once again, tens of thousands of Scorpion race warriors appeared under the altar.

There were more than a hundred thousand warriors in total.

At this moment, the huge altar had already started to shrink. In the end, it turned into a black altar the size of a palm, which Li Qing put away.

The Scorpion race was able to rise and survive until now all because of this sacrificial altar.

“Great! Now that we have an army of one hundred thousand, we don’t need to worry about our race not being able to dominate a region! The mere Kingdom of Dawn is only a stepping stone for the rise of our Scorpion race!”

Li Qing’s eyes flashed with excitement and bloodlust. His ambition was revealed completely. “Hmph, the Lord of Dawn! How dare you humiliate me in front of so many people? I’ll destroy your kingdom and use your corpse to build my way to the top!”

Li Qing waved his hand and commanded the 100,000 Scorpion warriors to once again travel underground. Their target was the Kingdom of Dawn!

…

In another valley, a wolf’s howl was heard. The faces of the ordinary-looking humans suddenly changed. Their bodies instantly expanded, and their faces changed. In a breath’s time, they had transformed from humans to giant wolves that were two to three meters tall.
