The Blackstone Fort was indeed built on a strategic location. They needed little effort to locate the group of giant beasts emerging on the horizon.

  These twenty-feet-long beasts floated on the sea like an islet, thus they were known by the name “Islet Tortoise” (E8-tier).

  A total of eight of them were approaching the island fast.

  They were not the only incoming threat. With a closer look, numerous beasts rode the rolling waves at about a hundred meters in front of the tortoises.

  These beasts appeared to be chased by the Islet Tortoise and were struggling to swim forward.

  This marked the first wave of the sea beast tsunami.

  The soldiers were now paler than before.

  Even the facial muscle of Yang Ping twitched slightly watching the imminent danger.

  “Please don’t come here! Please don’t come here!” A soldier by Qin Feng’s side gripped the gun in his hand tightly and muttered.

  Unfortunately, God did not answer his prayer as the beasts swam straight toward the island.

  Soon, the first wave hit the shore.

  Though the fort was built on highland, there was no guarantee that the beasts would not reach them there. The best solution was to chase them back into the sea.

  After all, the first to reach the island was just G-tier beasts.

  Boom!

  Someone had shot first, and others soon followed. They wanted to pin the beasts back.

  However, the number of beasts was overwhelming. Even the Islet Tortoise had come ashore now.

  These beasts were simply too huge. The tortoise charged on like a tank and did not fear the bombardment from the human battalion.

  “Mayor Qin, that’s our cue to attack,” Yang Ping suggested.

  “I agree. I can’t wait to see your heroism.”


  “Haha. I am no way near you.” They flattered each other while the soldiers eyed them anxiously.

  Qin Feng had had enough of the meaningless conversation and jumped down from the fort promptly.

  “Fiery Rampage!”


  Qin Feng was wrapped in fire and he dashed forward like a rocket. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed out to more than a hundred meters away.

  In contrast, Yang Ping stayed put and took out a decent bazooka. He was a gunner and that was why he had asked Qin Feng to strike first. He would not need to worry about his own safety by staying at the backline.

  Qin Feng, however, might face great danger.

  As expected, as soon as Qin Feng came close to the shore, the sea beasts immediately sensed the alien two-legged creature and exposed their fangs.

  “Awoo!!”


  The beasts roared and jumped simultaneously on Qin Feng. They were exhausted after being chased all the way up to the island. The arrival of the human saved them the trouble to look for food.

  Qin Feng raised his hand and unleashed a sea of fire.

  “Hellfire Carpet!”


  The fire swept the sandy beach. The extreme heat caused the sea beasts to growl in pain.

  G-tier and F-tier beasts were burnt down instantly.

  The Islet Tortoises had discovered Qin Feng as well.

  Poof!

  A large water cannon was shot right at Qin Feng.

  Qin Feng evaded the attack swiftly. He raised his hand again to release a fire laser.

  The Islet Tortoise moved its horns and changed the position of its giant body. Qin Feng’s fire laser landed right on the shell. It created tiny sparkles and left a burnt mark there.

  Yang Ping had also released a missile. The missile hit the back of the Islet Tortoise and exploded. But it did little harm to the beast.

  The defensive strength of the Islet Tortoise was comparable to the energy force field of a city.

  However, its giant head was the beast’s biggest weakness. The beast could be killed easily as long as the attack hit the bullseye. That was easier said than done because the Islet Tortoise was equally agile.

  Feeling the hostility from Qin Feng, one of the giant tortoises charged straight for Qin Feng.

  Its speed was considered unusually fast for a tortoise.

  Such a giant beast did not need any skills. They could simply destroy their target through brute force alone.

  Qin Feng remained composed.

  ‘Just about time to test my new technique.’


  Qin Feng triggered his consciousness.

  “Hell Magma!”


  The extreme heat of the magma instantly melted the earth’s crust. The ground below the flowing magma crumbled instantaneously.

  The giant Islet Tortoise fell into the magma pit as well. Unlike the chilling seawater, scorching magma sipped into the internal part of the shell.

  “Roar!”


  The tortoise screeched. It had never experienced such an extreme temperature. The Islet Tortoise was disintegrated within seconds.

  Qin Feng wasted no time.

  “Fiery Rampage!”


  The Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand slid out in a parabolic curve.

  “Burning Sword Glare!”


  An elongated sword radiance promptly cut off the screeching tortoise’s head.

  Plop!

  The giant head flew off and dropped on the magma and was burned clean the next instant.

  Qin Feng switched to another target once he had taken care of the first.

  The Islet Tortoise’s giant body hindered them from fighting as a coordinated group.

  Qin Feng repeated the same trick and quickly exterminated the rest of the Islet Tortoises.

  The sandy beach had almost melted into a land of magma. On top of this stood the mighty sovereign—Qin Feng.

  Soldiers on the fort were dumbfounded. Yang Ping, too, inhaled deeply.

  Qin Feng was too powerful! He managed to kill beasts as strong as the Islet Tortoise with such ease. Yang Ping figured that there was a lapse in his plan.

  ‘I was a little doubtful when they said that he could single-handedly handle the Drakocroc King. Apparently, that’s true. At this rate, it would be unrealistic to try killing him this way.’


  Yang Ping’s mind began to process this information rapidly. They needed a plan B now.

  Qin Feng never left the beach.

  ‘The energy stored in the Islet Tortoises is rather rich!’


  Though it was only a normal beast, Qin Feng managed to absorb a large pool of energy after killing the tortoises. His physical strength did not enhance by much but he could feel the blood racing faster in the vessel. Despite that, his heart pumped slower but more vigorously. Each pump provided more energy to the whole body.

  Tortoises were indeed the key to longevity.

  A lot of people were willing to pay a handsome price for meat from a tortoise beast. It was rumored that the meat could increase one’s life span. The energy core of the tortoise beast fetched an even higher price.

  Qin Feng started to get hopeful.

  However, it was unrealistic for an Islet Tortoise beast general or king to appear here. Islet Tortoises of those levels were too massive.

  The shallow water of the shelter island could indeed deter a lot of powerful beasts.

  After the Islet Tortoises had landed, more beasts emerged from the sea current. Qin Feng wiped everything clean regardless of whether they were strong or weak.

  Yang Ping was getting even sulkier as he witnessed Qin Feng’s overpowering strength.

  Suddenly, notifications rang through Yang Ping’s communicator. He glanced at it and his facial expression changed abruptly. He then hurriedly concealed his unease.

  Yang Ping turned his head sideways and glanced at Bai Li. He noticed that Bai Li seemed bored and paid little attention to Qin Feng’s battle. He quickly excused himself, “Miss Bai, I still have things to attend to so I am leaving now. It seems Mayor Qin can handle the sea beast tide just fine by himself. Please send my regards to him later. I will take my leave now.”


  Bai Li glanced quietly at Yang Ping, as if her dark eyes had seen right through his conspiracy.
