“Little Gold is the ant monarch. How would the Underground Cave Magical Spiders possibly let it off that easily?” Ol’ Amos shook his head and sighed. “Had it been anyone else, they would also want to completely eradicate the enemy for peace of mind. What a pitiful child!”
Meng Lei bent his fingers and flicked them multiple times in succession. Over a dozen fire spears shot outward from thin air and pierced through the Underground Cave Magical Spiders’ heads in an instant, impaling them to death on the spot.
At the sight of this, Little Gold couldn’t help but shake all over. It was only then that it finally noticed Meng Lei. It was overcome by surprise and joy at once.
“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline!”

Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline?
A bloodline?
Meng Lei was a little taken aback. He had picked up a bloodline again? But what was this Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline?
Buzz!
During Meng Lei’s moment of distraction, innumerable dazzling golden light rays suddenly pierced through his skin and shot out of his body, lighting up the whole place in an instant.
Right on the heels of it, the golden light rays turned into sticky, viscous glue-like golden flames. They shrouded Meng Lei entirely, and then, they began to blaze.
Boom!
A wave of severe pain, as if capable of ripping Meng Lei’s insides apart, erupted from within his body and assaulted his nerves like a fierce, surging tidal wave.
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
“Ahhh!”
Meng Lei let out a loud cry, feeling as if his entire self was about to be ripped apart. He doubled over and pounded the ground with his fists, his countenance savage.
“Meng Lei, what’s wrong?”
The sudden turn of events gave Ol’ Amos a huge fright. “What’s the matter, brat? You’re scaring me...”
“I... I’m fine!”
Meng Lei tried to put up with the agony that felt even more painful than being tortured to death. He gave him an awful smile and said, “I... I’m... fine... It’ll be okay in a while.”
“What do you mean you’re fine when you’re behaving like this?” Ol’ Amos was terribly anxious. “Tell me, what exactly is going on?”
“Ha... Haha!”
Meng Lei gave him a dreadful smile, unable to even utter a proper sentence anymore. The sticky, viscous golden flames seeped out of his body like blood before returning into his body again.
They burned the surface of his body and burned the inside of his body. The cycle repeated again and again as it burned his whole body, running amok and weaving about unbridled.
Everywhere the golden flames passed by underwent modifications!
His bones, meridians, skin... His blood, internal organs, heart, and lungs... Every single inch of his blood and flesh... every little nook and cranny... All of them were modified by the golden flames!
The immense pain was like the gushing rivers, endless and eternal.
They assailed his senses madly, like the Yellow River beyond one’s control in a flood.
“Why is this happening? What exactly is going on?”
Ol’ Amos was in such a panic that he was going round and round in circles.
Roar!
In their daze, as though made out of gold, a strange ant hologram covered in golden armor and with 16 pairs of golden butterfly wings on its back suddenly appeared behind Meng Lei.
It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, its teeth waving about!
It threw its head back and roared into the sky, its voice resounding throughout the heavens!
“That... That’s...”
Ol’ Amos stared at the magnificent golden ant that had appeared out of the blue and exclaimed, “G-golden... Golden...
“No! That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible! Creatures like that have already gone extinct since a long time ago! It’s impossible that they still exist!”
Ol’ Amos rejected the notion vehemently. However, he suddenly discovered that Little Gold was actually prostrating and watching the golden hologram behind Meng Lei fearfully, quivering and shaking in its boots as it did so.
That expression on its face looked way too familiar to Ol’ Amos.
It was exactly how a Drake looked like when its bloodline got naturally suppressed upon encountering a pure-blooded Colossal Dragon.
“Could it be that...”
Ol’ Amos looked at Little Gold and then at the golden ant hologram behind Meng Lei, his heart gradually sinking.
Crackle, crackle!
At this point, a sudden change occurred again.
Amid spine-chilling cracking sounds, the surface of Meng Lei’s skin began to wriggle about violently, as though worms were crawling about underneath.
In the next instant, bloodstained golden scales began to emerge on Meng Lei’s skin like mushrooms sprouting after rain.
One scale, two scales, three scales...
It went out of control right after it started. A few breaths later, shiny, golden, strange-looking scales had covered Meng Lei’s entire body.
At the same time, bloodstained golden barbed spikes began to poke through his flesh and bones. Gleaming with a chilly glint, they grew out of his forearms, calves, knees, elbows, and other parts of his body.
Finally, two feelers that looked like triangular spike bayonets and covered in golden scales gradually grew out of Meng Lei’s forehead.
Everything finally came to a stop after that.
Just like that, with golden scales all over his body, golden feelers growing from his head, and barbed spikes all over him, the current Meng Lei had turned into a half-human, half-ant... monster!
Whoosh!
The pain faded rapidly like the receding tide, and Meng Lei’s consciousness gradually returned. He took huge gulps of air and panted heavily, feeling as though he had just gone to hell and back.
That sensation of living hell just now had simply left too deep of an impression on him. Compared to when
