This was especially true when it was nearby pools of water. Such an environment was extremely advantageous to the Rampaging Pool Salamander in bringing out its strength. Thus, it wasn’t that easy to kill!
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
Hehe, items drop the easiest during fierce battles. What has dropped this time?
“Pick it up! Hurry and pick it up!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution +8!”
Tsk, tsk, physical body constitution again... With that, my Physical Body Constitution field has reached 83 points. Soon, it’ll break through the 100-point milestone!
The 100-point milestone was indicative of a First-Grade Warrior!
Although a Trainee Warrior was only a grade short of a First-Grade Warrior, there was a huge difference in their strength. Meng Lei already couldn’t wait to become a First-Grade Warrior!
Boom, boom, boom!
At the other side, the battle was exceptionally intense!
The Rampaging Pool Salamander might look dumb, but it was extremely agile and nimble. With its thick and muscular limbs moving swiftly and its strong and forceful tail matching their movements, Millo and the other two somehow just couldn’t take much advantage of it.
“My warrior god! This beast’s armor is too tough. I can’t split it open at all! What should we do? C’mon, think of something!”
“Neither can I! Looks like we can only attack its weakness!”
“Alison, use your magic and paralyze the Rampaging Pool Salamander! I’ll attack its eyes!”
“Alright!”
At the end of Alison’s spell-chanting, a lightning dragon struck down from high in the sky and struck the Rampaging Pool Salamander viciously!
The lightning dragon’s power was obviously a lot stronger. The Rampaging Pool Salamander’s back where it had been struck was charred black, revealing crimson-red bloodied flesh. At the same time, it also began to convulse!
“Here’s my chance!”
While taking advantage of the split-second where the Rampaging Pool Salamander was paralyzed, Bobby, the small and skinny young man, seized the opportunity and instantly appeared where the Rampaging Pool Salamander’s head was. His dagger flashed across the air and stabbed right at the beast’s right eye!
“Die, beast!”
Bobby’s eyes were icy cold, with victory well within his grasp!
However, what he never expected at all was a wall of water suddenly appearing in front of the Rampaging Pool Salamander during this moment of life and death, and blocking the sharp dagger!
The dagger stabbed into the wall of water as though it was stabbing into a ball of cotton, and its speed was abruptly halted. The Rampaging Pool Salamander seized the opportunity, and its head ducked to the side, evading the lethal blow!
The dagger grazed the edge of the Rampaging Pool Salamander’s eye and stabbed into its neck, causing a series of sparks to fly about. However, it didn’t manage to cause any real damage to the Rampaging Pool Salamander!
“I missed!”
Shocked, Bobby retreated with a burst of speed, no longer pressing on with the battle!
“What a shame that such a good opportunity went to waste!”
“If Bobby’s attack had been successful, that beast would have died for sure!”
Upon seeing what had happened, regret filled the eyes of Millo, who was holding a giant axe in his hand, and Yale, the other muscular man with a large sword. After missing such a golden opportunity, it would be difficult for them to find another chance to kill the Rampaging Pool Salamander. Or at least, they would need to wait till Alison’s magic preparation was ready.
It was hard to say just how the Rampaging Pool Salamander might go berserk during this short period of time!
What a shame! thought Alison, the tall and slender freckled Magician, too.
However, what all of them didn’t expect at all was the Rampaging Pool Salamander suddenly letting out a sad and shrill cry. Then, its enormous body started to rock and sway forcefully!
“What’s going on?”
Alison and the other three received a huge shock. It was then that they noticed someone on the Rampaging Pool Salamander’s back. That person had a dagger in his grip and was stabbing the beast’s back forcefully with it, causing blood to fly everywhere!
“That’s...”
Millo, Bobby, and the others’ eyes widened dramatically. They had realized that the person was actually Meng Lei, and his dagger was stabbing right into the area where Alison’s lightning dragon had struck and mangled earlier. The area was charred black, revealing crimson bloodied flesh.
“Die! Die!”
As though he had gone mad, Meng Lei stabbed the Rampaging Pool Salamander again and again with a vigor that was almost crazed. However, he wasn’t just stabbing randomly without any target. Rather, his strikes were aimed at the Rampaging Pool Salamander’s... spine!
He had watched quite a few outdoor TV programs in his past life—some guy named Bear Grylls1 had cut and broken an alligator’s spine and easily killed it after that!
Meng Lei wanted to try and see if this would work on a Rampaging Pool Salamander...

“That guy’s nuts! Does he take the Rampaging Pool Salamander for an Iron Fire Ant?”
“The Iron Fire Ant is just a First-Grade Magical Beast, and it was already on the brink of death from our attacks. That’s how he had gotten lucky. But a Rampaging Pool Salamander’s different. That beast is still fine and dandy...”
Upon seeing Meng Lei riding on top of the Rampaging Pool Salamander and stabbing wildly and mindlessly at it, Alison and the other three men frowned after getting over their momentary shock!
The Rampaging Pool Salamander was a Second-Grade Magical Beast, and moreover, it was still healthy and intact!
Under such circumstances, Meng Lei was actually harboring delusions that he could kill the Rampaging Pool Salamander when he was just a little brat that hadn’t even grown up?
What a joke!
And in truth, it was just as they had expected!
