"Find him! You absolutely must find him!"

On the shore, Red Lantern lectured a group of people. There was a fat man with what looked like a beer belly and tattoos, and a scrawny little old man.

There was also a middle-aged man with a full head of blond hair and an imposing air, radiating kingly dominance.

This was a sea dragon in human form, and quite presentable.

But no matter who it was, they were all obedient in front of Red Lantern, who was a favorite of Lord Sea King.

Red Lantern said with a cold face, "This is a disgrace, a humiliation! Lord Sea King bestows divine power upon the sea creatures, yet you can't even find a sea snake. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Search every corner of the earth, dig three feet into the ground, and find it for me! If it's not in the sea, look on land!"

"Are we going to make Lord Sea King search himself? What are we even here for?"

All the sea creatures, not only themselves but also mobilizing their clansmen as informants, had been searching for months without finding the sea snake. So they thought of looking on land.

The sea creatures nodded in agreement.

Red Lantern waved his hand. "Set off, Sea Leopard Special Forces!"

Sea Leopard Special Forces?

That's right, not only were King-level sea creatures mobilized, but so was the army of sea leopards, known for their exceptionally sensitive noses, to search on land.

Thousands of sea leopards landed on every continent.

The real Sea Leopard Special Forces.

Red Lantern was in charge of central coordination and dispatch.

Red Lantern thought disdainfully of Bei Bei, what use are you? Can you do what I do?

Although it was destined to be in vain, wasn't it a show of filial piety?

Unexpectedly, the sea creatures, who had just landed and dispersed to search, ran into some tough customers.

Two zombies, walking together, encountered a sea leopard, its eyes darting around, never having seen such a creature before.

Was it tasty?

The two zombies quickly made short work of the sea leopard; after all, it was just an ordinary sea leopard.

The taste was so-so, not as good as meat. Shaking off the blood on their hands, the zombies went to meet up with their boss.

Their boss was Da Zhuang.

Little did they know that this was like kicking a hornet's nest.

The sea leopards quickly smelled the blood of their companion, their eyes turning red, and followed the scent to seek revenge on the zombies.

Hundreds of sea leopards gathered to make trouble for Da Zhuang.

But wasn't this just sending them to their deaths? Da Zhuang casually dispatched a dozen of his subordinates, who began to mercilessly slaughter the sea leopards.

How could this be allowed?

The sea leopards' ancestor, a King-level sea leopard, was searching nearby.

If I can't beat you, I'll call for reinforcements.

The King-level sea leopard was furious and immediately stepped forward to avenge his little ones.

Because this King-level sea leopard's color was similar to soy sauce, Chen Luo mischievously gave it the name Jiang Bao (Soy Leopard).

Jiang Bao didn't understand, but was very happy, thinking that Lord Sea King had personally bestowed the name.

Jiang Bao flew into the air and quickly found a large group of zombies, lounging around in twos and threes, scattered haphazardly.

The number was astonishing, around fifteen hundred.

Jiang Bao's face was icy cold as an astonishing vortex of flames erupted from its mouth, mercilessly spewing down on the zombies on the ground.

Jing Ji was massaging Da Zhuang's head, her face smiling, whispering, "Da Zhuang, Brother, you've been a King-level for a while now. I wonder how you compare to Chen Luo, the city lord of Dawn City?"

"In my opinion, you're definitely no worse than Chen Luo."

Da Zhuang narrowed his eyes, wondering if it was time to come clean with Jing Ji. How could he possibly be a match for his boss?

His boss had said last time he visited that he had already reached Emperor-level, beyond King-level, and that King-level crystals looked like trash to him.

He should just come clean; it was for Jing Ji's own good, to prevent her from seeking death.

Just then, a figure appeared in the sky, spewing flames onto the ground.

Da Zhuang's pupils shrank. A King-level?

Then Da Zhuang was overjoyed. Perfect timing! He could give this crystal to his wife.

Da Zhuang had only absorbed one King-level crystal to reach King-level.

Dual ability users who were new to Level 10 needed two King-level crystals, but Da Zhuang had been at Level 10 for a long time, so he only needed one.

Da Zhuang shot into the sky like a cannonball.

Jiang Bao's flames weren't much of a threat to the zombie horde; the zombies only suffered minor injuries. This wasn't an ordinary zombie horde; even the weakest ones were Level 8.

Before it could seriously injure the zombies, Da Zhuang arrived.

Jiang Bao watched, surprised. It could fly? So what? I could fly when I was Level 10 too.

Da Zhuang grinned and raised his iron fist, punching towards Jiang Bao, but he hit Jiang Bao's flame shield.

The flame shield teetered.

Jiang Bao looked at Da Zhuang in surprise. This kid was a King-level too?

Jiang Bao's mouth bulged, and a condensed ball of flame created an astonishing explosion around Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang was a dual ability user, and his physical fitness was comparable to a mid-stage King-level, plus he was Iron Da Zhuang.

With the addition of his Iron Fist, for close combat, Jiang Bao was no match for Da Zhuang at all.

Especially since a dozen or so Level 10 zombies in Da Zhuang's group all flew up, ready to gang up on Jiang Bao.

A group of zombies grinning menacingly surrounded Jiang Bao.

Jiang Bao wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth and said angrily, "Gang up, huh? You little bastards, just wait to die!"

Da Zhuang sneered, "Still talking tough when death is at your doorstep?"

Just then, a figure came from afar, a burly man.

It was the Great Sea Cow, who had heard the sounds of fighting nearby and ran over to see what was happening.

The Great Sea Cow said in surprise, "Jiang Bao, you're getting beaten up?"

A great humiliation! Jiang Bao immediately contacted Red Lantern, asking her to send reinforcements; this guy was tough.

The Great Sea Cow was also beaten up; he wasn't Da Zhuang's match.

Da Zhuang was overjoyed. Two King-level crystals, buy one get one free, haha!

Soon, Da Zhuang couldn't laugh anymore.

Several sea creatures nearby heard the commotion and flew over.

Da Zhuang's smile slowly froze. What was going on? King-level experts being mass-produced?

In the two and a half years since the apocalypse, Da Zhuang had never seen anything so bizarre.

King-level experts were appearing in teams. Among the zombies, he was the only King-level.

It didn't matter; he had so many underlings on the ground. Eight King-levels were nothing; they could be buried under the sheer numbers.

Red Lantern arrived with reinforcements.

Red Lantern didn't think much of Da Zhuang and only called a dozen or so sea creatures.

But the sea creatures had not been ashore for long and hadn't gone far. Hearing that their companions had been taken away, they came to watch the excitement.

A dozen, two dozen, forty, seventy.

A group of flying sea creatures descended near Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang's eyes slowly widened, and Jing Ji's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The zombie underlings, who had become accustomed to rampaging freely on land, felt the end of the world had come.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

So many King-levels?

Da Zhuang was numb. Was this a King-level army with organization and teamwork?

Someone had told him before that there was such a team, but Da Zhuang absolutely didn't believe it. Did they think King-levels were as common as cabbage?

But the truth was right before his eyes.

Da Zhuang was cowed. No matter how tough he was, he couldn't possibly be a match for so many King-levels.

Da Zhuang obediently admitted defeat. "I'm sorry, big brothers and sisters. I was wrong."

Jiang Bao stepped forward and slapped Da Zhuang in the face. Da Zhuang could have dodged, but he didn't.

Jiang Bao sneered, "Trying to fight me? Do you have the strength?"
