“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!”
Chapter 115: I’ve Grown Too Full of Myself, But I Didn’t Slip Up That Badly
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To be very, very honest, Meng Lei felt that he’d grown a bit too full of himself recently—and the kind of growing into a huge balloon, no less.
His training in the Magical Beast Forest, the sudden eruption of the ant tide, the series of gold coin expenditure in the system, and his chance encounters had allowed his battle capabilities to skyrocket madly, which had, in turn, allowed him to advance quite a few grades in succession.
To recap, before he had come to the Magical Beast Forest, he had only been a Seventh-Grade Warrior and a Sixth-Grade Magician. Yet, in just a short month or so, he had already become a Ninth-Grade Warrior and a Ninth-Grade Magician!
If he were to use his trump cards, he could narrowly compare to a Saint Domain.
The speed of improvements in his battle capabilities was astounding.
However, this also made Meng Lei’s ego go through unprecedented inflation. As a result, when facing the Saint Domain Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor, what had occurred to Meng Lei first and foremost hadn’t been to escape but to kill the other party instead.
A Saint Domain Magical Beast! That was a Saint Domain Magical Beast!
If he could kill it, just how much would he earn?
And so, Meng Lei had staked all his assets on the gamble and made a frenzied attack. However, what he didn’t expect was that his best shot at full power hadn’t dealt even the slightest bit of damage to the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor at all.
How infuriating was that?
He had put in so much effort, yet it was still completely fine and dandy?
“It’s a good thing that I’d used the Gods-Slaying Spear when I attacked earlier. Otherwise, I would have been in grave danger.”
Meng Lei dodged a few times consecutively and put a safe distance between himself and the Magical Beasts. He couldn’t help but be relieved at his decision earlier.
As the saying went, “Always have a backup plan”!
No matter when, one must always leave a way out for themselves. Their forefathers didn’t lie, indeed.
“That kid is actually so devious?”
Ol’ Amos was dumbfounded. He had thought that Meng Lei was doomed for sure; after all, what he was up against was a Saint Domain Magical Beast.
How was charging forward like that so recklessly any different from seeking death on his own?
Little did he expect that Meng Lei would actually be that sly. At the same time as he had attacked, he hadn’t forgotten to use the Gods-Slaying Spear to ambush the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor from the back.
An attack from the open and another attack from the shadows.
The double whammy had successfully scammed a good one out of the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor. That was simply too insidious.
Screeeeechhh!
The Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor actually didn’t die even after its head was pierced by the Gods-Slaying Spear. Tremendous pain assailed its senses, and it roared again and again, its eyes full of violent brutality and bloodthirstiness.
Boom!
Its blade-like foreleg lifted into the air and cleaved ruthlessly toward Meng Lei, moving fast and viciously. Should the hit land, even a Colossal Dragon would be cleaved into two.
“Hehe, you can’t hit me!”
Meng Lei zoomed backward and retreated. Then, with a snap of his fingers, a 100-meters-wide fireball suddenly appeared above the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor.
“Flame Inferno… Drop!”
Boom!
Flame Inferno fell from the sky and crashed against the
