“Even if I stand here and let you stab me, you can’t hurt me!”
Meng Lei sneered, and green vines also appeared on his body. They turned into green pythons and wrapped back toward the strange tree. Then they stabbed into the bark of the strange tree and started absorbing madly.
This was the Wood-Elemental Spell, Life Drawing!
Meng Lei retaliated against it with its own medicine.
“Weren’t you going to suck me dry? I’ll suck you dry first!”
“Gurgle~”
“Gurgle~”
Upon feeling its vitality being drained continuously, the strange tree started struggling. Its trunk shook, and its vinesshed out, attacking the green pythons madly to peel them off its tree body.
Unfortunately, the green pythons that rooted on it were like maggots deep in its bones. However hard it struggled, it simply couldn’t move them in the least. It could only watch them devour its vitality.
Whimper—
Eventually, amid the strange tree’s shrill screams, its vitality was entirely devoured, and it died with indignation and regret.
“Ding! 1 Man-Eating Tree Ghoul killed. 17,300,000 gold coins gained!”
“Pfft! Gotten 17 million gold coins!”
Meng Lei nodded in satisfaction, then dug out a durian-sized, translucent green crystal that glowed with a green luster like a green jade.
“This is the Man-Eating Tree Ghoul’s magic core? Such rich vitality...”
“This is a treasure!” Ol’ Amos’ voice sounded in his head. “The magic cores of Wood-Elemental Magical Beasts are also called vitality cores. They contain a vast amount of vitality and can bring even people who are severely injured and on the verge of death back to life. It is called a divine healing medicine. Thus, the value of one vitality core is several times, even tens of times, that of simr-grade magic cores!
“The Man-Eating Tree Ghoul is a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, so its vitality core is even rarer. If one brings its vitality core to an auction, it can sell for at least 100 million.”
“100 million? That’s very good then!”
Meng Lei’s eyes lit up. He casually put away the vitality core and continued to fly forward.
Not long after he left, thepletely still trees in the surrounding area all reached out with their vines to stab at Man-Eating Tree Ghoul’s body and started to absorb the remaining vitality in its body!
...
“Ding! 1 Jade Wood Butterfly killed. 12,900,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Witherbark Cicada killed. 1,460,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! Assimtion sessful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution +3870!”
“Ding! Assimtion sessful. Host’s Magic Power +2659!”
He went all the way up without any resistance.
By the time Meng Lei reached the magic circle that led to the 13th level, he had casually killed a total of 48 Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts.
48 Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts!
What kind of efficiency was this? One had to know that only a mere half an hour had passed since he had entered the 12th floor!
Such efficiency, such speed!
Whoosh!
He stepped into the magic circle. After a whirl of dizziness, the surrounding environment changed again.
Meng Lei arrived at a vast, endless grasnd. Grass, the height of his knees, was very lush. A strong gust of wind blew, and the grass bowed down.
Swoosh...
On the patch of earth not far away, a tornado the height of dozens of meters was raging, bursting into a crazy roar.
The sound traveled more than 100 miles. The whole world was dark!
“Wood and Wind Elements, both are very rich.
“This is the Dragon God Tower’s 13th level? It’s actually very suitable for cultivating wind-elemental magic!”
Meng Lei did some sensing as usual and then continued to push forward.
“Ding! 1 Stormy Flying Elephant killed. 17,000,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Stormy Flying Elephant killed. 18,000,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Cloud Stooping ck Ox killed. 16,000,000 gold coins gained!”
...
Half an hourter, Meng Lei arrived at the 14th level.
“Ding! 1 Gold Backed Mantis killed. 19,000,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Three-Winged Heavenly Thunder Ant killed. 18,600,000 gold coins gained!”
...
The 15th floor!
...
The 16th floor!
...
The 17th floor!
...
The 18th floor!
...
The 19th floor!
...
The 20th floor!
He pushed through all the way!
Whoosh!
Half an hourter, Meng Lei arrived at the 21st level smoothly.
The environment changed drastically again. The world of ice, which was covered with the moment before, became a world filled with volcanoes andvas in the next moment.
The sky was filled with thickyers of red clouds, and many purple lightning bolts moved rapidly between the cloudyers.
The sound of thunder had an intimidating impetus.
A boiling hotva river was running non-stop on top of the earth. If ordinary living things arrived here, they would definitely be baked till their skins were dried.
“The Fire, Thunder, and Darkness Elements are particrly rich. From thisyer onward, there should be Saint Domain Magical Beast already, right?”
There was a faint look of anticipation in Meng Lei’s eyes. The easy kills along his whole way before this were only small appetizers, after all.
The Saint Domain Magical Beasts in the higher levels were the feast he was really looking forward to. Therefore, he arrived here in one go non-stop.
“The magic elements over there are the richest!”
Meng Lei found out the direction and then flew over, riding his magic carpet. Half an hourter, the magic circle toward the 22nd level was already in view.
But strangely, he actually didn’t see a single Magical Beast, Not to mention Magical Beasts, not even a hair of a Magical Beast.
“How strange... Can there be no Magical Beasts on this level? But this shouldn’t be happening.”
Meng Lei stopped in mid-air, and looks of confusion filled his eyes as he observed the vast and empty world ofva.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a burning wave of air suddenly came from behind him. Then, he saw a viperpletely made of boiling hotva shooting right at him, as though it wanted to swallow Meng Lei whole.
“Hmm?”
Meng Lei’s ears moved slightly, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot where he was.
Boom!
Theva viper’s failed attack suddenly burst and turned into countless droplets ofva, sshing all around.
Meng Lei eerily appeared at another spot, his eyes locked on avake near him. The corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly. It was from thatvake that theva viper had shot out of just now.
Gurgle~
Gurgle~
Thevake boiled with bubbles. A stone-like head slowly emerged, and on this stone head were actually a horn, a single eye, and a nose!
Ssh!
Theva boiled, before a three-meter-tall humanoid creature, with a body made entirely of red rocks and burning mes surrounding it, came out.
“Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, Red Rock Fire Demon...”
Although Meng Lei was stunned, he immediately felt very disappointed. “Why is it still a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast? Where are the Saint Domain Magical Beasts? Where are they hiding?”
Right when Meng Lei was confused, one red head followed by another emerged from thevake. All of them had entirely me-covered red bodies covered. They were all Red Rock Fire Demons, at least 100, and they instantly surrounded Meng Lei.
Roar!
All the Red Rock Fire Demons roared angrily, opened their bloody red mouths, and spewed out many waves of boiling hot redva.
The boiling hotva shot over from all directions and directly blocked Meng Lei’s way, leaving him no space to escape. He could only forcefully take on them.
“128 Red Rock Fire Demons, eh? Still quite a fortune. I will take you all reluctantly, shall I?”
Faced with theva attacks, Meng Lei was calm andposed. At the moment right before the boiling hotva reached him, ayer of diamond-like shining crystals suddenly emerged from all surfaces of his body. He turned into a diamond-like man instantly!
That was the Ninth-Grade Spell, Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor!
