Chapter 258 - Shelter Island (1/2)

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, G.o.d did not answer his prayer as the beasts swam straight toward the island.

Soon, the first wave hit the sh.o.r.e.

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 ash.o.r.e 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 sh.o.r.e, 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.

“h.e.l.lfire 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 sh.e.l.l. 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.
