A whitish mist permeated the air!
The solid ice was bright and clear!
The Split-Body Devil Salamander had turned into a sculpture. It was still maintaining its previous pose and seemed like a freshly sculpted ice sculpture—vivid and true to life, animated and lively.
“Ding! 1 Split-Body Devil Salamander killed. 10.4 billion gold coins gained!”
“Absolute Zero sure is fearsome. But there’s nothing more suitable than that when it comes to dealing with the Split-Body Devil Salamander!”
Ol’ Amos took a deep breath and sighed from the bottom of his heart. As for why Meng Lei could cast an ice-elemental first-class spell, he had already reached a stage where he was nonplussed about it. There was no lack of inexplicable events when it came to Meng Lei, after all.
“Splitting? Something like that doesn’t even exist when Absolute Zero is around!”
Meng Lei laughed lightly. Then, he tapped lightly on the ice sculpture. With a crack, the enormous Split-Body Devil Salamander broke apart and turned into ice shavings at once.
“Collect!”
A watermelon-sized magic core flew out at once. Meng Lei stored it in his ring, and then he returned to the forest to continue his hunt.
At a level like Meng Lei’s, he was no longer satisfied with just ordinary Magical Beasts. His minimal target was Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts, while his priority was Saint Domain Magical Beasts.
As for low-end stuff like Seventh-Grade and Eighth-Grade Magical Beasts, he’d just wipe them out along the way should he encounter them. As for making the special effort to go after them, that was just a waste of time.
“Ol’ President, can you sense any Saint Domain Magical Beasts?”
“Not yet. But there’s a pretty good Ninth-Grade Magical Beast toward the southeast.”
“How far is it?”
“About 50 to 60 kilometers, I’d say.”
“Since there isn’t any Saint Domain Magical Beast around, then let’s go over and take a look!”
Meng Lei looked a little disappointed at that. Then, he flitted toward where the Ninth-Grade Magical Beast was. Unexpectedly, he’d barely taken off when Ol’ Amos stopped him.
“Wait a moment, brat!”
“Hmm?”
“I sense a Saint Domain Magical Beast aura in that direction!”
“In the northeast?”
“Yes!”
“Alright!”
Without any hesitation, Meng Lei flitted toward the northeast at the fastest speed he could muster. After he had assimilated the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline, his speed had been boosted by multiple times, including his flying speed.
His current flying speed was even faster than a vast majority of flying mid-level Saint Domain Magical Beasts. It could be said to be as swift as the wind.
Whoosh!
A stream of light drew across the sky and crossed 100 meters in an instant.
A few minutes later, Meng Lei arrived at the Saint Domain Magical Beast’s location. What surprised him, however, was that it was currently in an extremely bad spot.
It... was actually being besieged! A team of six contestants had surrounded it and was currently pummeling it into the ground.
Those six people were evidently no kind souls. Their blades were sharp and keen, their strength fierce and brutal, their spells accurate and precise—every move of theirs was a lethal one. No matter how thick and sturdy that Magical Beast was, it wasn’t going to be able to withstand the six-man team’s joint attack.
Under their siege, that unlucky Saint Domain Magical Beast was struggling to cope. It was already injured and could die at any moment.
“A beautiful crimson red all over with rose petal-shaped scales and a single horn on its head—that’s the wood-elemental Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Uni-Horned Rose Python!”
A smiling Ol’ Amos said, “The Uni-Horned Rose Python is in charge of the beauty aspect among snake-type Magical Beasts. It’s very rare in Heaven’s Vault Continent.”
“In charge of the beauty aspect? When it looks as sad as that?”
Meng Lei rolled his eyes. As he looked at the six-man team besieging the Uni-Horned Rose Python, he remarked, “That’s the Dragon God Academy uniform. Are they from Dragon God Academy?”
“Judging from their academy uniforms, they probably are.”
Ol’ Amos concurred with Meng Lei’s evaluation.
“What a shame about the Saint Domain Magical Beast. They’re gonna kill it!” Meng Lei sighed as he shook his head.
“What’s all that pretense for? Don’t you know just what kind of person you are?” scoffed Ol’ Amos, his countenance full of contempt.
“Ol’ President, you’re not gonna have any friends if you’re that frank!”
Meng Lei curled his lip in response. Then, he descended from the sky and jumped right into the fray.
“What are all of you doing? Why are you attacking my mount?”
Chapter 163: Crushing A Hammer, Taking In A Spy
Much like a monkey riding a colorful cloud that had appeared out of nowhere, Meng Lei descended from above and frightened everyone.
“Be on guard, everyone! Someone’s trying to seize our prey from the jaws of death!”
Following the shout from a girl with blond wavy locks and wearing a golden magic robe with a golden spell in her hand, all six of them instantly stopped their attacks and directed their gazes at Meng Lei with extreme caution.
“I was wondering who it could be. So it’s just a little brat who hasn’t even grown up!”
The blond girl quietly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she said, “Leave at once, and we can put this behind us, brat. Otherwise, don’t blame us if we go hard on you!”
“Where did that kid come from? Get lost!”
“How dare you snatch our prey? Do you have a death wish?”
The other five people also straightened their backs as they relaxed their guard. They stared coldly at Meng Lei with contempt in their eyes.
“Your prey?”
Meng Lei’s countenance changed to one of displeasure at once. He pointed at the Uni-Horned Rose Python behind him and said in a deep, low voice, “That’s
