“What’s going on?”
The silver-horned muscular man under siege had an utterly confused look on his face.
Chapter 146: Killing Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts Like Slaughtering Livestock

“Ding! 1 Scarlet-Tailed Scorpion killed. 150,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Giant Swamp Crocodile killed. 190,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Fiery Storm Eagle killed. 170,000 gold coins gained!”
The first level—a world of flowing sand!
The second level—a world of torrential floods!
The third level—a world of raging storms!
The fourth level—a world of blazing flames!
The fifth level...
Meng Lei went up the whole way, not pausing for even a moment in between. In less than three hours, he had already charged all the way to the 11th level of Dragon God Tower. At once, Meng Lei felt a difference.
Only one type of element existed in rich abundance in the first ten levels, whereas he found that there were two types of magic elements that were exceptionally rich on the 11th level. They were respectively the earth-elemental and water-elemental magic elements.
This was a half-plane filled with silt and swamps. It stunk to the high heavens, and miasma wafted about—it was as though he had come to a dumping ground.
Given Meng Lei’s keen senses, he could detect several powerful auras lying dormant in the silt and swamps, ready to launch ambushes any moment.
“Most of the Magical Beasts in the first ten levels were seventh-grade ones or eighth-grade at best. However, ninth-grade ones have started to appear on this level. Would Saint Domain Magical Beasts start appearing in the higher levels?”
Meng Lei licked his lips as a hint of greed appeared on his features. “As expected! Dragon God Tower is the most suitable place for me to cultivate!”
Previously, he had earned a hefty sum of money when he had fought back the ant tide at the Magical Beast Ridge. Thanks to that, he had redeemed credit via the system and managed to tremendously improve his strength.
However, ever since then, he hadn’t had many gold coins coming into his pockets. As a result, his strength had also reached a standstill. This greatly distressed Meng Lei—if it weren’t for the fact that he had to participate in the exchange competition, he would have graduated and gone off to hunt Magical Beasts a long time ago.
But it was all good now. Meng Lei had discovered a place that was even more suitable for money-making—and that was the Dragon God Tower!
The Dragon God Tower had a total of 100 half-planes, within which lived countless Magical Beasts and native beings. To others, they were stumbling blocks obstructing them from passing through to higher ground, but in Meng Lei’s eyes, they were glittering mountains of gold.
The value of Eighth-Grade Magical Beasts started from a million gold coins, while Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts could sell for ten million, let alone the Saint Domain ones.
Just a single Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor that had just broken through alone had already created 5.2 billion + 6.1 billion = 11.3 billion gold coins in total for him.
One could simply imagine what the Dragon God Tower meant to Meng Lei.
“The system + Dragon God Tower = The most awesome cheating device!
“Haha! My path to money-making is all-clear and free of obstructions from now on!”
“Gurgle~”
“Gurgle~”
Just as Meng Lei burst into loud, smug laughter, a few bubbles surfaced in the foul-smelling swamps a short distance away.
In the next moment, a fishy, pungent odor rushed toward him.
Meng Lei turned to see a shadow swooping toward him. It moved at an extremely high speed and took only a mere instant to reach him.
Splurt!
A lightning lance flashing with silver electric currents quietly appeared with a casual point of Meng Lei’s finger and impaled the shadow’s gaping mouth in an instant.
The shadow instantly froze in mid-air, its eyes filled with disbelief. The one that had launched an ambush had clearly been it, so why was it that the human’s attack that had been launched later had instead reached it earlier?
It was just a shame that it no longer had any way of knowing the answer to its question anymore because the raging thunder lance had exploded and blown its head into smithereens.
“Ding! 1 Blackwater Leech killed. 1,390,000 gold coins gained!”
“1,390,000 gold coins? Not bad!”
With a wave of his arm, Meng Lei kept the Blackwater Leech’s magic core. Then, he let out the magic carpet and continued forward.
Although he could already fly, Meng Lei felt that it was more prudent that he matured cowardly in a place like this instead. This way, he would be able to bait the Magical Beasts hiding in the shadows into attacking him.
This was the only way he could make money, right?
And in truth, that was exactly how it was. The sight of him steering the magic carpet about was as though a piece of plump, fleshy meat swaggering through the streets, and it attracted the covetous eyes of innumerable Magical Beasts.
“Ding! 1 Blackwater Leech killed. 1,360,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Six-Tailed Poisonous Centipede killed. 1,480,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Blue-Eyed Golden Toad killed. 2,710,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding...”
Meng Lei slaughtered all the Magical Beasts he encountered the whole way. Eighth-Grade Magical Beasts perished in his hands one after another. When he was about to reach the magic circle leading to the 12th level, he finally encountered a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast.
It was snowy-white, 50 meters tall, and steel needle-like fur covered its body, its hair pointing upside down. Its muscles were bulging and brimming with explosive energy.
Its form resembled a giant ape, yet it had four bewitching blood-red eyes. Even though it had arms and legs, it also had an additional two pairs of fins.
“The Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, Blood-Eyed Hydro-Ape!”
Meng Lei was all smiles at
