He’d actually sent Gisley flying with a punch!
Just how powerful was that?!
“Five of them left.”
Meng Lei licked his lips and vanished from where he was again.
“Look out!”
Alarm bells went off in the Demigiants’ heads, and they became even more on guard, but it was to no avail.
Meng Lei abruptly appeared in front of another Demigiant. His right leg swung through the air and kicked a demi-giant right in his jaw. With a crisp snap, a cry escaped him, and he was flung out as well.
“Four left.”
He landed on the ground and vanished again.
Boom!
“Three left.”
“Just two now.”
“Last one.”
In the blink of an eye, all six Demigiants had been sent flying. Without waiting for them to get back up, six thunder spears shining with a blinding light descended from the heavens and pierced through their throats!
Splurt!
All six Demigiants’ outraged eyes were widened big and round, filled with resentment and chagrin, unable to rest in peace!
“Game over!”
Meng Lei showed himself and gazed at the six Demigiants. He wasn’t even out of breath, and he carried himself with a calm and cool composure as if he hadn’t lifted a finger at all.
“H-how strong!”
Totally astounded, the Golden Colossal Dragon Person stared at Meng Lei from the back. In his eyes, Meng Lei’s back view was so big and tall, stalwart, and beyond one’s reach...
“Are you alright?”
Meng Lei turned around and faced the Golden Colossal Dragon Person with a warm smile, just like a morally upright gentleman.
It was then that the Golden Colossal Dragon Person finally got a good look at Meng Lei. His eyes turned big and round at once, and he stammered, “How... How come it’s you?”
“Huh? Do we know each other?”
Meng Lei looked greatly taken aback. He looked the Golden Colossal Dragon Person up and down but found him a total stranger.
I’ve never seen him before! Why does he recognize me?
The Golden Colossal Dragon Person kept silent and gazed straight at Meng Lei for a brief moment. Then, his golden dragon scales slowly faded to reveal a familiar and ordinary-looking face.
Meng Lei jerked fiercely, and he exclaimed, “Abbe?!”
“Yes, it’s me!”
Abbe nodded slowly and got up from the ground with his hand held over his chest. Then, with a flip of his hand, he brought out a test tube filled with blue liquid, threw his head back, and downed it in a gulp.
Abbe’s complexion improved significantly after the liquid entered his system. He looked at Meng Lei, his eyes full of complex emotions, and remarked, “I’d never imagined that you’d become this strong after just a separation of half a month.”
“It really is you, Abbe!”
Meng Lei shook his head, not quite knowing what to say. How did he even bump into Abbe at a place like this? What a coincidence!
“Why are you here, though? Weren’t you supposed to return to the capital when the winter break started?”
Although they were housemates, because they’d rarely interacted, the only thing Meng Lei knew about Abbe was that he was from the capital and nothing else. He’d assumed that Abbe had returned to his hometown during the winter break. Little did he think that he’d actually come to Magical Beast Forest, too!
“I don’t want to go back!”

The Demigiant corpses laid quietly on the grass. As their blood dried, it attracted countless flies and mosquitoes.
Meng Lei frowned and said, “You don’t have to go back if you don’t want to, but you shouldn’t have come to the Magical Beast Forest depths and loitered about here. It’s too dangerous!”
Abbe had nothing to say to that.
Meng Lei then asked, “What are your plans now? I’d suggest that you should either leave or go to the forest’s outer boundaries. That way, your life won’t be at risk!”
“I understand!”
Abbe nodded silently. Then, as he held his chest, he turned around and left. “Thank you for saving my life. I will repay the favor for sure!”
Meng Lei became somewhat worried instead when he saw how Abbe was behaving. He couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you going?”
“I don’t know. Wherever my legs take me, I guess!” Abbe replied coolly.
Then, without even looking back, he left and, in no time, disappeared into the depths of the forest.
“That fellow...”
Meng Lei was rendered rather speechless.
“Forget it, just do whatever you want. Why should I bother that much about him if even he himself doesn’t cherish his own life?”
Meng Lei shook his head and began to examine the Demigiant corpses instead. These guys were pretty strong, and their bodies were on par with Sixth-Grade Warriors.
If the six of them joined hands with one another, together with their earth-controlling ability, they would have a fighting chance even if they encountered Seventh-Grade Warriors.
Surely there’ll be quite a lot of good stuff on them, right?
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution +91!”
After some rummaging, Meng Lei indeed found a spatial magic device on them. It was a brass ring that looked simple, classy, and unadorned, yet bold and unconstrained, and was very characteristic of a giant’s style.
“Let’s see what’s inside of it...”
He released some spiritual power, which slowly spread into the spatial ring.
“That’s all there is inside?”
Meng Lei’s brows drew together at once. The space inside the ring wasn’t big, only about ten cubic meters at best. Apart from a small pile of magic cores, there were only a few pieces of clothing, armor, maces, roasted meat, and other things like that.
There was nothing
