269: Golden Tiger Seal

Qin Shilei and An Qian sat in the restaurant, drinking tea and chatting.

"Shi Lei, do you think we should take over all of the Tang Family's former forces?"

"No need. Those forces are ultimately closely related to the Tang Family. Even if we could forcibly subdue them with martial might, they might retaliate someday."

"Then should the Panshi Battle Group here expand its recruitment?"

"I'm considering that, but the number of people should preferably be kept within five thousand, and their strength should at least reach Bronze Seven Stars."

"What kind of interaction model should we adopt for the remaining three major families in Junhai City?"

"First, let's establish the framework of our Panshi Battle Group, and then I'll talk to them."

To ensure that Jie Mingchen and Wu Xia, the group's leader and vice-leader, could command the situation, Qin Shilei took out two Yellow-grade cultivation techniques and handed them over.

Their experience at this time was already sufficient, and after receiving the two cultivation techniques, they successfully advanced to Silver One Star.

Qin Shilei then took out two Battle Skills suitable for them and gave them away.

This action also earned him their sincere gratitude, and they vowed to repay Qin Shi Lei with their lives.

As a result, the strength of Jie Mingchen and Wu Xia increased by at least tenfold. The high-end combat power of the Panshi Battle Group finally reached a new level.

Qin Shilei instructed the still-excited Jie Mingchen, "The number of people in the Panshi Battle Group is really too small; we need to expand recruitment. You two go arrange it."

He then told the other party some of the standards for recruitment.

Jie Mingchen nodded in agreement, "Okay, Qin Laoda, I'll go arrange it now."

After he finished speaking, he had people post news of the Panshi Battle Group's recruitment all over the city.

To better recruit suitable talent, he also specifically pointed out that the behind-the-scenes boss of the Panshi Battle Group was Qin Shi Lei of the Golden Realm.

However, two days after the recruitment information was posted, very few people came.

After Qin Shilei and An Qian returned from killing zombies outside, Jie Mingchen immediately stepped forward, frowning, and said, "Qin Laoda, can you show your power in a crowded place?"

"Ah." Qin Shilei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the recruitment not going smoothly? Let nature take its course. As long as your strength is strong, many people will surely rush to join the Panshi Battle Group in the future."

Jie Mingchen nodded in agreement, "Qin Laoda, you're right, but it seems like someone doesn't want us to recruit people."

"Regarding my statement that the Panshi Battle Group is backed by Qin Laoda, rumors are circulating in the city that we are engaging in false advertising."

"And the heroic deeds about Qin Laoda destroying the Tang Family have also been suppressed."

"Now, information is spreading throughout the city that the Panshi Battle Group is just a small force and not worth joining."

Qin Shilei sneered, "This must be the idea of those three major families."

"Hmph, I hope they don't go too far, otherwise Qin is not someone to be trifled with."

He paused and then said to Jie Mingchen, "I still stand by what I said: only when you yourselves are strong will you not have to worry about people joining the Panshi Battle Group."

"Otherwise, even if I were to find dozens or hundreds of Silver Realm experts for you, you probably wouldn't be able to command them at that time."

Jie Mingchen's expression changed, and he nodded in agreement: "Qin Laoda, your lesson is well-taken. I'll go with my people to kill zombies and earn crystals now."

Qin Shilei said, "I'll go with you too."

As they walked towards the outskirts of the city, they suddenly heard a huge sound coming from the east of Junhai City.

Qin Shilei ordered, "Turn the car around and drive east."

After he finished speaking, he got out of the car and flew eastward with An Qian first.

Junhai City is a coastal city, and its east is the vast ocean.

At this time, a large number of sea beasts were crawling out of the ocean and rushing towards Junhai City.

Survivors living by the sea were the first to discover the sea beasts and immediately fired signal flares to send a warning to the city.

Countless Evolutioners rushed from the city, driving away those sea beasts.

Sea beasts should only be able to live in the sea, but these mutated sea beasts could temporarily crawl onto land and attack Junhai City.

There were sea shrimp as large as adults, ferocious walruses, sea turtles as large as small houses, and lightning-fast swordfish.

All sorts of sea beasts swarmed towards Junhai City.

To protect their homes and their families living in the city, the Evolutioners in Junhai City bravely fought these sea beasts.

Although there were many sea beasts, there were also many Evolutioners, so dealing with them was not too difficult.

After all, these sea beasts were only from a small nearby sea area, and their numbers were only three to four hundred thousand.

Furthermore, Junhai City had encountered sea beast attacks many times before, so they had considerable experience.

Just as the Evolutioners thought they could annihilate the sea beasts in another half an hour, the sea in front suddenly stirred up monstrous waves.

A massive figure occasionally emerged from the sea, revealing a corner that made people's hearts pound.

Before long, that enormous figure arrived at the shore and suddenly rushed onto the dock.

It was then that everyone clearly saw that this terrifying sea beast was a large octopus.

A large octopus with more than a dozen tentacles, standing four to five meters tall when propped up.

As soon as the large octopus appeared, it waved its tentacles and charged into the crowd.

With a gentle sweep, twenty to thirty people were caught by its tentacles and thrown into its mouth.

Countless ice arrows and fireballs continuously bombarded the large octopus.

However, what was despairing was that all these attacks were blocked by the oily skin on the large octopus's body.

Even the abilities unleashed by Silver Realm Evolutioners failed to harm the large octopus.

They couldn't kill it, nor could they block a single move from it.

Such a terrifying enemy caused all the Evolutioners present to feel deep despair.

The large octopus was like a giant killing machine, wantonly slaughtering people in the crowd.

Within five minutes of its appearance, thousands of people had been killed by it.

Fear spread continuously through the crowd, and soon some couldn't bear it and turned to flee into the distance.

Just then, two figures, one white and one red, flew over from the city.

Name: Golden Tiger Octopus

Description: Golden Three Star sea beast, proficient in water-element abilities. Be careful of its tentacles' entanglement. Weakness: Cannot stay on land for long.

"An Qian, you go deal with the other exotic beasts, I'll deal with this large octopus."

After Qin Shilei finished speaking, he charged towards the Golden Tiger Octopus.

The large octopus paid no attention to Qin Shilei; one of its tentacles casually swept towards him.

Qin Shilei accelerated, dodged the tentacle's strike, and at the same time, he slashed that tentacle with his sword.

Divine Power Stiffening instantly took effect on the large octopus, stiffening it in place.

Qin Shilei waved his hand, releasing King Kong, and at the same time, he unleashed Battle Skill Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky, slashing at the octopus's tentacle.

The sharp sword qi slashed onto the octopus's skin, but it was like cutting into tough cowhide, only able to cut in forty to fifty centimeters.

However, such a small wound was insignificant compared to the large octopus's enormous size.

Instead, King Kong's attack was more incisive.

King Kong first leaped high, then slammed down fiercely with a staff.

The half-propped-up large octopus was immediately smashed to the ground by King Kong's strike, and it spat out a large mouthful of dark purple blood.

After King Kong delivered several more blows, the large octopus finally recovered from the stiffening.

It suddenly sprang up from the ground, instantly wrapped King Kong entirely with its tentacles, and attempted to retreat towards the ocean.
