Chapter 114: Wealth Reset, Killing A Saint Domain Magical Beast
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The massive, fully blood-red creature stood erect on the ground like a peerless ferocious beast from the depths of hell. It gave off a violent, malevolent aura that could make one’s hair stand on end and shiver in fear.
“The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor!”
Ol’ Amos’ pupils contracted in shock, and he shouted, “Brat, that’s the pinnacle-level Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor! It’s very hard to deal with, you must take absolute care.”“Understood!”
Even without Ol’ Amos’ reminder, Meng Lei could already feel the fiendish, savage aura emanating from the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor.
Judging from its aura alone, it was even more fearsome than the Titanic Dragon-Ape he had encountered in the past. How would Meng Lei possibly dare to be negligent and careless?
Thud, thud, thud!
The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s legs were like eight tall, towering trees covered in scarlet red steel needle-like spikes several meters long. Under the light from the campfire, they gleamed with a chilly, blood-red glint.
Its eight eyes glanced coldly at Little Gold before shifting toward Meng Lei. Its eyes gave off an icy glint, and then, it actually spoke.
“Human! Get lost! Otherwise! Die!”“What the heck? It can actually speak?”
Meng Lei was astonished. Didn’t they say that only Saint Domain Magical Beasts could speak the human language? How come that Ninth-Grade Magical Beast in front of him could also speak?
“Evidently, that Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor has already broken through! It’s no Ninth-Grade Magical Beast anymore but a Saint Domain Magical Beast!”
Ol’ Amos sounded terribly anxious. “Although it has only just broken through, so its aura isn’t that steady, a Saint Domain is ultimately still a Saint Domain. Given your current abilities, it’s very difficult for you to beat it in a battle. You’d better get ready to run. It’s just that it’s a shame about the little ant monarch. You’ll probably have to abandon it…”
“Broken through?”
Alarm welled up in Meng Lei’s heart, and the muscles all over his body tensed up. He was fearless against a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, but it wasn’t the same in the case of a Saint Domain Magical Beast.
Saint Domain and ninth-grade were as different as day and night. There was no comparison between the two at all.
“But… It seems like a Saint Domain Magical Beast is worth a lot of money?”
Meng Lei’s eyes flickered as a crazy idea suddenly formed in his mind. If he killed the Saint Domain Magical Beast in front of him now…
As for Little Gold, in the instant the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor had appeared, it became so frightened that it quivered and shook like a leaf. It hid behind Meng Lei with everything it got, extremely terrified.
“Human, get lost!”
Upon Meng Lei’s silence, the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor lost its patience. It roared into the sky, the roiling soundwaves erupting in Meng Lei’s ears and almost rupturing his eardrums.
“Get lost? Hehe, what if I refuse?”
Meng Lei slowly got up. He grabbed the roasted pig trotter on top of the campfire and viciously tore off a piece of meat with a bite. A hint of insanity flashed across his eyes as they bore into the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor.
It has just broken through?
Unsteady aura?
Then… Why not slay it?
“Kid, what do you intend to do?” An alarmed Ol’ Amos hastily shouted, “Don’t do anything stupid! You’re not the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s match. You’ll throw your life away if you stubbornly fight it!”
“We’ll only know if I can match up to it after a fight!”
As Meng Lei took big bites out of the roasted pig trotter, he asked, “Ol’ President, how much do you think that Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor can sell for?”
“What do you intend to do? You’re out of your mind!” Ol’ Amos was infuriated. “A Saint Domain Magical Beast’s strength is not something you can even begin to imagine. Listen to me, hurry, and run. With your abilities, you’re totally capable of escaping.”
However, Meng Lei shook his head and replied, “Ol’ President, you just need to tell me how much that Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor is worth.”
“You… You stubborn mule!”
A fuming mad Ol’ Amos said, “A Saint Domain Magical Beast is a priceless treasure. You can’t buy one even if you have the money. Even if it does turn up once in a blue moon, it’s also worth an astronomical sum of several billion gold coins.
“Although that Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor has only just broken through, a Saint Domain Magical Beast is ultimately still a Saint Domain Magical Beast, so it can sell for a hefty 5 billion gold coins at the very least.”
5 billion? That means I can still earn at least a difference of 2.5 billion?
Meng Lei licked his lips, the look of insanity in his eyes intensifying. He burst into laughter and said, “You evil creature, your insignificant little life is mine!”
“System! Redeem all my Wealth and add them all to my Physical Body Constitution!”
“Ding!”
Meng Lei’s Wealth value was instantly reset to zero. All 7,541,721,863 gold coins evaporated into thin air!
At the same time, as many as 754,172,186 Attribute Points were abruptly added to Meng Lei’s Physical Body Constitution, and a surging and warm turbulent current began to strengthen his body like a tidal wave.
Boom!
A terrifying aura reaching into the heavens and deep into the ground surged out of Meng Lei. Strong tremors went through everything in the surroundings wherever the hurricane passed through!
Trees broke into pieces, and dirt flew everywhere!
The campfire was blown away, and the whole place was in a total mess!
“What?!”
Upon sensing the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from Meng Lei, Ol’ Amos’ eyes were widened so big and round that they almost fell out of their sockets!
“H-how can that be?!”
Ol’ Amos practically couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“Huh?”
The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor was mildly surprised, too. However, it was also limited to just a bit of surprise. Although Meng Lei’s aura had strengthened tremendously, it was still within the Ninth-Grade tier.
A tiny little Ninth-Grade was but just a lowly ant. The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor didn’t take Meng Lei seriously at all. It had absolute confidence in its own abilities.
“Ol’ President, I won’t abandon Little Gold, nor will I run away!”
Meng Lei licked his lips, a look of bloodthirstiness and insanity bursting forth from his eyes. “Open your eyes wide and watch well as I slaughter that beast!”
Meng Lei had only just spoken when he shot out in a split second.
In this instant, his speed spiked to its limit. His Physical Body Constitution, which reached as high as 764,330,773 points, made him feel as though his body was brimming with explosive energy, from head to toe.
His speed, strength, and agility—all of them had undergone a tremendous change.
“Die, damned beast!”
In a split second, Meng Lei’s fist, which carried a fearsome power capable of destroying the heavens and earth, had already gone smashing toward the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s abdomen.
“A tiny little ant that thinks too highly of himself!”
The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor let out a snort. The blood-red spikes on its eight legs left the legs and shot abruptly toward Meng Lei like a dense, concentrated rain of swords.
They moved lightning-quick!
There were so many that they were densely packed like rain and sealed off the whole place.
The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor wanted to stab so many holes into Meng Lei that he’d turn into a sieve.
“Good job coming here!”
Meng Lei let out a loud laugh. Dazzling golden light shot out of him, turning him instantly into a golden sun, and he went through a transformation again.
Dazzling golden armor, savage golden barbed spikes, and a brilliant golden body appeared as he transformed into a Golden Gods-Slaying Ant.
Boom!
In that instant, Meng Lei’s aura erupted once more, and his speed spiked dramatically again. Then, he strangely vanished into thin air.
Stab, stab, stab!
The dense rain of steel needles missed their target and stabbed into the ground, whereas Meng Lei suddenly appeared underneath the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s abdomen instead. Then, he smashed his fist ruthlessly into its abdomen.
Boom!
Incredibly wild and violent energy erupted with a deafening boom. Like a drum, the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s belly actually let out a huge brass bell-like boom and produced wave after wave of ripples.
However, the unfortunate thing was that Meng Lei’s fist didn’t actually manage to punch through it.
“What?!”
Meng Lei’s expression changed at once.
After he had spent the gold coins in the system, his Physical Body Constitution points had gone as high as 7.6 hundred million.
In addition, after his ant transformation, his Physical Body Constitution had multiplied by several times again. He had long since broken through the 1 billion mark to reach another level altogether.
This meant that his body was comparable to a Saint Domain’s after his ant transformation. Since that was so, why wasn’t he able to punch through the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s abdomen?
“Kid, you’re oversimplifying things!” Ol’ Amos shook his head with a sigh. “The moment a Magical Beast steps into the Saint Domain, they become as strong as a mid-level human Saint Domain, perhaps even a high-level one. How is it something that you can kill?”
Splurt!
However, he had only just spoken when he heard a crisp pop. Ol’ Amos looked over in surprise, only to see a black spear piercing through the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor’s head.
“Hehe! It’s a good thing that I took precautions, then!”
