Yet, in spite of that, Meng Lei was able to do so. This showed that his degree of comprehension of wood-elemental laws of nature had already reached a terrifying stage!
“This...” President Fred could only laugh wryly at that.
“Am I wrong in saying that, President Fred?” A look of puzzlement came over Frederick the 32nd’s countenance.
“Your Majesty, to tell the truth...” President Fred had no choice but to explain, “Right before just now, I didn’t even know that Meng Lei had wood-elemental magic talent.”
Frederick the 32nd frowned slightly and asked, “You don’t even know that?”
President Fred answered honestly, “Your Majesty, all I know is that Meng Lei has thunder-elemental, fire-elemental, and earth-elemental magic talent. I indeed am not aware that he has wood-elemental magic talent.”
“Thunder, fire, earth, and... wood?”
“Four elements?”
“Meng Lei actually has four types of magic talent?”
“Gasp! How terrifying! How terrifying, indeed!”
“On top of possessing both Golden Colossal Dragon and Fire Dragon bloodlines, he also has four different types of magic talents! O great Dragon God above, aren’t you favoring that guy too much?!”
The people couldn’t help but gasp, every one of them astounded by Meng Lei’s terrifying talent.
Double bloodlines! Four different types of magic talents!
Either aspect was enough to drive one crazy with jealousy, let alone both. Even the Dragon God’s illegitimate son wouldn’t have been that much of a mutant!
Frederick the 32nd praised from the bottom of his heart, “With such talent, he’s surely the most talented member of the royalty in the last 10,000 years. This greatly comforts me!”
At the same time, in the Lost Continent...
The battle had already come to an end at this point. No matter how unwilling Barbarossa was to admit it, it had indeed already ended!
“You’ve lost, Your Highness!” Meng Lei said meaningfully.
Then, he paid no more heed to Barbarossa, who was so infuriated that he was close to killing someone. He picked up the Crocohawk Albatross King’s carcass, and then, he left the area.
“He’s gone!”
“That guy has finally left!”
“He’s too powerful! And too frightening!”
“Is there anyone among you that knows who that guy is? Just where did he pop out from? Why is he so strong?”
“With such strength, he can probably fight on par with those four mutants from the academy...”
...
“You’re totally famous now, kid!
“Tsk, tsk! Beating up a prince! That’s something I’d wanted to do back then but hadn’t managed to, y’know!
“Speaking of which, though, when did you awaken the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline? How is it that I never knew? Just how much are you keeping from me, kid?”
Meng Lei laid back down on the Multi-Armed Behemoth, which resumed its journey. Then, he started to chat idly with Ol’ Amos.
Roughly half an hour later, a huge canyon entered their sight, and Sacas the Multi-Armed Behemoth stopped in its tracks.
“Boss, that’s the Golden Corpse Canyon—the Golden Corpse Bugs’ territory—ahead!”
“The Golden Corpse Canyon?”
The canyon was wide and deep, and the path through it rough and rugged, long and winding. One couldn’t see to the end of it at one glance. Filled with drifting smoke, it also gave off a shocking stench.
Strewn all over the bottom of the canyon were innumerable carcasses and remains. Some were already starting to rot, and flies, mosquitoes, and maggots were crawling all over them, while some were old, aged carcasses where ghastly white skeletons were the only things remaining...
Meng Lei stared from afar at the carcasses and skeletal remains littered all about. Coupled with the overwhelming stench, he hadn’t even gotten anywhere near the area when he felt his stomach churn, and he almost threw up the contents in his gut.
“Sacas, why did you bring me to a place like this?”
Meng Lei clapped his hand over his nose, somewhat displeased.
“Aren’t you looking for Saint Domain Magical Beasts, Boss?” Sacas explained, “The emperor of the Golden Corpse Bugs is the Saint Domain Magical Beast that was the nearest to us. It dwells right in this Golden Corpse Canyon!”
“Fine!” While pinching his nose, Meng Lei asked, “Is there any way to get the Golden Corpse Bug Emperor out? I have no interest in going into the canyon and dying from the stench!”
“Easy-peasy!”
Sacas grabbed a huge rock and then, he hurled it forcefully into the canyon. The impact caused the canyon walls to shake and tremble and rocks and stones to roll and fall off.
“Boris, you motherf*cker! Get the hell out here! I’m going to beat you up so bad that even your mother wouldn’t recognize you!”
Sacas let out a thunderous roar as he thumped his chest, his voice resounding in the canyon like roiling thunder.
“Compared to Clara, Sacas’ way of doing things is so simple and crude!”
At the sight, Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. When he’d sent the Uni-Horned Rose Python to call on others in the past, that fellow was always cowering in fear, afraid of every single thing. Even the sight of it was an embarrassment!
In comparison, Sacas was much wilder!
Buzz, buzz!
A brief moment later, a buzzing sound cut through the air and rushed toward them. Then, they saw a golden cloud floating out of the canyon.
With Meng Lei’s eyesight, he could naturally see that that was no golden cloud at all—it was obviously innumerable golden insects that had clustered into something like a locust swarm!
Dense and packed, they were a large golden mass!
“Boss, those are the Golden Corpse Bugs!” Sacas shrank back a little as it said, “They are a type of repulsive insects with tiny little bodies but an extremely shocking level of destructiveness!”
“Which grade of Magical Beasts are the Golden Corpse Bugs?” Meng Lei asked as he watched the glittering golden cloud intently.
“Boss, a Golden Corpse Bug barely makes the cut as a
