Chapter 2290 - 2293: The Great Sea Demon's Common Carcinogenic Drug

Thousands of Great Sea Demons, not only fierce in form and robust in temperament, but at this moment, clad in armor, as they all knelt down, the friction sound of the armor and the unified roar not only instantly filled the sky with murderous intent but also instantly made Shen Qiang and his followers' blood surge with excitement.

"Such powerful sea demons, with such uniform appearances, are definitely not comparable to those Great Demons of Heshenghe!" Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's eyes were shocked.

Ye Guyun's eyes also instantly lit up: "These guys are terrifyingly strong; taking over their mess hall looks like it'll take some effort!"

Although Shen Qiang was also stirred by the murderous scene before him, so arrogant and prideful, he was not dazzled by their words because Shen Qiang knew that the one they truly praised as wise and heroic, possessing the power of the Four Seas and Nine Provinces, was the real Dragon Emperor, not himself.

Their grand salute and worship were nothing more than out of respect for the real Dragon Emperor. If one really thought their worship and cheers meant Shen Qiang could do whatever he pleased and command them as he wished, that would be a huge mistake.

Because even if Shen Qiang ordered something, it would still depend on whether the leading Great Demons agreed; if they didn't, even if other sea demons agreed, it would be useless.

So, on occasions like this, it's best to keep things superficial.

"Stand up!"

With Shen Qiang's words, many sea demons rose with a thunderous sound.

"Thank you, Dragon Emperor!"

Amidst the sea demons' shouts, Shen Qiang's gaze upon them became increasingly sharp.

Because Shen Qiang was not foolish; Heshenghe's 300 Great Demons had already made a name for Heshenghe, and these sea demons were not only fierce, numbering more than three thousand—at least ten times more. If these powers could be used by Shen Qiang, combined with the mainland's extensive and interconnected water elements, what couldn't Shen Qiang do?

Seeing Shen Qiang, though his eyes shone with greed, he remained calm. Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang smiled slightly and transmitted his voice: "Dragon Emperor, don't be surprised. These sea demons are just the close followers present; if all their sea demons were gathered, a conservative estimate would be at least over one hundred thousand."

These words made Shen Qiang's eyes even brighter; not only that, but his heart also raced, with adrenaline spiking instantly.

Even if all these sea demons were only at the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation, it wouldn't matter—one hundred thousand! What's that concept? The entire Heshenghe now has just over 500 cultivators, counting all the demons together.

Yet, these sea demons are two hundred times that of Heshenghe!

Previously, when the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang completely ignored Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang thought him too arrogant.

But seeing this scene now and thinking about one hundred thousand sea demons gathering, Shen Qiang understood almost instantly.

It's truly not that Yu Jiang was too arrogant.

It's that his former self was truly fearless due to ignorance.

Moreover, if Uncle Gui hadn't intervened, it's believed the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang would never have acknowledged Shen Qiang as the Demon King.

Because even if these sea demons don't follow orders and go their own ways, it's likely within Yu Jiang's influence to summon a few thousand sea demons anytime to help him do something easily.

"So strong, these sea demons are so strong. They're mine—they must be mine!"

Shen Qiang's eyes began to glow blue.

To know, this is no joke. If Shen Qiang could truly subdue these great sea demons, let alone a mere Gong Ziyi, who in the world would dare oppose Shen Qiang?

Not to mention, just strong beings like Yu Jiang, there are five within the Pacific Ocean alone.

These still bear the Demon King title.

How many great sea demons without the Demon King title yet with equivalent combat power are there? Who knows?

The Pacific Ocean, after all, encompasses a vast territory covering one third of Earth's surface.

Equivalent to half of all the world's ocean area!

In such a vast marine territory, if Shen Qiang could really inherit everything from the Dragon Emperor, he could absolutely do as he pleased, unrestrained and unstoppable.

"Calm down, don't let the splendid prospects cloud your mind. They respect me now because I lit up the Dragon Palace and seated on the Dragon Throne. Once they determine I lack the strength to truly match the Dragon Emperor's status, they will kick me aside without hesitation."

Shen Qiang's mind was incredibly clear.

After all, for these sea demons, their schemes might truly not match humans, but the law of the jungle is as natural as the order of the universe here.

Even if Shen Qiang could light up the Dragon Palace, so what?

Once a prisoner, wouldn't he still have to take orders like anyone else?

"The Dragon Emperor's treasure vault and these great sea demons, I want them all; they should all belong to me."

Shen Qiang had never been so greedy.

Or so ambitious as now because, once successful, it would be a miracle. Even God would no longer be able to shake Shen Qiang's position.

"Get stronger, I must get stronger, first deal with the Divine Corpse, then obtain the Spirit Bone. Once I have the true Dragon Emperor's strength, all these will rightfully be mine."

Shen Qiang's heart raced with ecstasy.

At this time, the old butler Uncle Gui transmitted a voice: "Boss, if you haven't prepared a meeting gift, let them take their seats. But if you have, now is the best time."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and said aloud, "Thank you all brothers for your kindness. I won't say polite words; this time, I've prepared some medicine for each brother present as a meeting gift. I hope you will like it."

Instantly, many of the Great Sea Demons at the scene were stunned: "Medicine? Good stuff, we're just lacking this."

Seeing the eyes of many Great Sea Demons gradually brighten, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "I know, the most commonly used medicine for sea demons is Peacock Green, and this time, what I've brought is a replacement for Peacock Green."

Instantly, the sea demons present looked at him, astonished, then gradually disappointed.

"Shen Qiang, what are you doing? Peacock Green is especially cheap and not limited; we don't lack this!" Yu Jiang seemed a bit anxious, feeling Shen Qiang's gift was not significant enough.

Shen Qiang smiled slightly, motioned with his eyes for him to stay calm, and then said calmly, "Everyone knows that Green Malachite Green is a dye, and since 1933, it has been widely used in aquaculture to prevent and treat various aquatic animal diseases like water mold, gill mold, and ichthyophthirius."

"But since the 1990s, domestic and foreign scholars have successively discovered that Malachite Green and its metabolite, colorless Malachite Green, have high toxicity, high residue, high carcinogenicity, and high teratogenicity, mutagenic side effects."

"It can cause mild inflammation of the gills and skin epithelial cells in fish, mildly dilate renal tubule lumens, enlarge the nuclear cells of the renal tubular cell walls, and more importantly, affect the enzymes in fish intestines, reducing enzyme secretion, thereby affecting fish feeding and growth, and it is a confirmed carcinogen."

Looking at the stunned Great Sea Demons, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "After nearly a hundred years of extensive use, I believe many sea demons have been severely impacted, with deformities and tumors quite prevalent. This time, what I'm bringing you is medicine that can completely replace Malachite Green, without side effects. It cannot cure already affected sea demons, but it can ensure that your next generation won't suffer your ailments."
