Chapter 102: Billionaire, Ninth-Grade Warrior

Little Gold has such an ability?

Meng Lei found this incredible.

Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants are Sixth-Grade Magical Beasts, and their entire bodies are as hard as steel. Even magical weapons enhanced with Battle Aura can hardly break their carcasses…

But Little Gold… It melted them by releasing one ray of golden light? This is totally far more terrible even than the most concentrated sulfuric acid!

“Ol’ President, what ability is this?”

Meng Lei swallowed his saliva.

“No idea!” Ol’ Amos shook his head. “Since ancient times, humans have known very little about Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ant Monarchs. Except that they are double-elemental Magical Beasts of strength and spirit, nothing else is known.”

“Alright!”

Within mere minutes, all the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants carcasses had all turned into red liquid and got swallowed into Little Gold’s belly.

Amazing…

After eating thousands of kilos of carcasses, with the exception of Little Gold’s aura, which improved significantly, there was actually no change in any other aspect. Its body didn’t change at all!

“Where did it put all those ant carcasses?”

Meng Lei took a breath as it deeply shocked him once again.

Ol’ Amos sighed slowly and said emotionally, “We still know too little about Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ant Monarchs.”

“That’s right!”

After swallowing all the ant carcasses, Little Gold burped in satisfaction, and then returned to Meng Lei’s side. Its shiny golden head rubbed against Meng Lei, looking very affectionate.

Meng Lei’s look was complicated. “Little Gold, you ate all those Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants… Where are they stored?”

“In my belly!” Little Gold blinked its big eyes. ‘We Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants all have very big stomachs. Ordinary subjects can hold food up to 100 times their own weight. I’m the ant monarch, so I can hold 10,000 times my own weight of food.”

“10,000… times?”

Meng Lei’s whole body shivered, and he almost peed from the shock. Ol’ Amos also shivered from the shock, and his face turned white.

They were both astonished!

Yet this wasn’t all, as Little Gold added, “I’m still in the juvenile stage. I can only hold so much food! The former ant monarch was really great, as he could swallow a big mountain in one go!”

When mentioning the former ant monarch, Little Gold’s eyes were full of reverence. Predictably, the former ant monarch had left an unerasable impression in its young mind.

“A big mountain…”

Meng Lei and Ol’ Amos fell silent instantly.

They were silent for a long while before Meng Lei finally sighed and said, “I finally understand why an ant tide army is so horrible. Every Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ant is a moving extra-large spatial magical device. How can it not be horrible?”

Ol’ Amos had more experiences, and his understanding was deeper. His eyes shone with bright light. “Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants’ stomachs should form a space of their own. The stomach space of the ant monarch is especially extraordinary. It seems that they are not just double-elemental Magical Beasts of strength and spirit!”

“There’s still a space element!?” exclaimed Meng Lei said.

“That’s right! There’s still a space element!” The old man nodded slowly. “In this world that we live in, apart from the most common and basic ten magical elements, there are some very rare magic attributes that are nonetheless real, or used to be real but have already gotten lost over time, such as Soul magic, Space magic, Dead Spirit magic, Time magic, and so on!”

“Space, Dead Spirit, Time magic?” Meng Lei muttered in a low voice.

“Heaven’s Vault Continent has existed for too long a history. In different periods, the living beings were different, and the main magic cultivated was quite different as well.”

The old man sighed. “With the passing of time, many rare yet very strong types of magic have disappeared in history, but there are always some little bits of records that remain.

“Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants are a typical example. Though this race’s strength isn’t exceptional, they have a rare triple element of strength, spirit, and space, especially with the space element ingrained in the depth of their bloodline, it is such a wonder!”

Meng Lei let out a breath and also felt great amazement.

“Let’s go! Off to other places!” The old man waved his hand. “Since the little fellow is so good at eating, we’ll let it eat to its satisfaction.”

“Alright!”

The magic carpet went up into the sky and disappeared from this area of the forest in the blink of an eye. When it reappeared, it had already arrived above the next swathe of Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants army.

With a few thunder balls dropped down, this big army of around 3,000 all died out and became Little Gold’s food.

Seeing Little Gold swallow 3,000 ant carcasses again, Meng Lei and Ol’ Amos still felt awed. 3,000 ant corpses, covering such a big area, it ate them all!?

A foodie?

This was a f*cking real foodie!

As compared to it, even the dragon race had to come second!

The only thing that pained Meng Lei a little was that when Little Gold swallowed the ant carcasses, it would also swallow the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants’ magical cores together with them.

Such a waste. 3,000 magic cores are 30,000,000 gold coins! Gone?

Little Gold, you are the obstacle to my entrance into Saint Domain! But, I’ll bear with it!

Meng Lei ground his teeth.

Little Gold’s strength can only grow faster by devouring so many magic cores. For its benefit, I’ll bear with it!

Everything is for Little Gold!

For everything of Little Gold!

However, when Little Gold devoured an ant tide of more than 30,000 ants again, Meng Lei couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Little Gold, when you eat ant carcasses next time, can you leave the magic cores for me? It’s too difficult for me!”

Meng Lei thought that Little Gold would be very hesitant, but what he didn’t expect was that Little Gold actually agreed very readily. Then it opened its mouth and spat, instantly producing a rain of magic cores.

In a short while, the space in front of him piled up with fist-sized red magic cores. There were so many that Meng Lei felt he would almost get blinded by the light.

“Magic cores are of no use to me, and they take up space. I only ate them together because I couldn’t bear to throw them away. If you need them, I can take them out at any time.”

Little Gold’s innocent big eyes blinked as it said a series of words that made Meng Lei almost lose his composure.

Of no use to you? And take up space? You just can’t bear to throw away?

It was like three violent hits had landed on him, and Meng Lei almost spat out blood.

If I had known, what the hell was I holding myself back for!?

But! Well done with the violent hits!

So many magic cores! If I turn around and sell them, it will be another fortune!

Meng Lei was instantly filled with drive, so he moved around different places and killed madly!

One pile, two piles, three piles…

10,000, 20,000, 30,000…

Within one afternoon, Meng Lei had slaughtered 60,000 Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants and earned a net worth of 600,000,000 gold coins and 60,000 magic cores. His Wealth value soared to a shocking 1,087,622,034

1 billion! An entire 1 billion!

If he added all the magic cores, gems, the Titanic Dragon-Ape carcass… and other treasures that had to be sold to be turned into cash, his wealth right now was already more than… 2 billion!

2 billion!

This was an astounding number!

It meant that Meng Lei was already 1/5 into the way toward Saint Domain!

“Money, money, I have money!”

“What can you do! What can you do!”

“…”

“System! Redeem 6,000,000 gold coins for me and add the Attribute Points to Physical Body Constitution. I want to break into ninth-grade!”

6,000,000 gold coins disappeared instantly, and the system cue tone promptly sounded.

“Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully broken through to become a Ninth-Grade Warrior. Please continue to work hard for another breakthrough!”
