After all, it was obvious that one could obtain magic cores a lot faster by killing others.
This led to humans becoming a more dangerous presence in the Magical Beast Forest instead!
Very evidently, the small and skinny man in front of Meng Lei right now belonged to this group of people. The moment he thought of that, the look in Meng Lei’s eyes turned cold and frosty, and murderous intent arose in his eyes.
To actually dare to set his sights on me, he ought to die!
The small and skinny man glanced at Meng Lei. Then, he disappeared from the spot where he was. Meng Lei secretly became more cautious and vigilant—he didn’t think that the other party would leave just like that!. And true enough...
Whoosh!
An almost indiscernible sound of something slicing through the air quietly rang out. An icy glint suddenly flew out from the left and shot right toward Meng Lei’s temples.
A person’s temples were awfully fragile. Once struck, there was no doubt that the person would die!
Meng Lei pulled back and evaded the attack. Then, he heard a crash—the man had actually inexplicably emerged from underneath his feet and was plunging the dagger in his hand toward Meng Lei’s heart!
The dagger reflected a vibrant green glow in the sunlight. It was obvious that it was covered in poison. Should one be even the slightest bit struck by it, they would lose their life for sure!
A diversion tactic? How cunning!
Meng Lei didn’t panic at all. His right hand suddenly transformed into a dragon claw and, in one motion, grabbed hold of the dagger plunging toward his heart. Then, as the man watched him in stunned surprise, he rammed his knee upward brutally.
Splurt!
As though something had been forcibly burst, the man let out a shrill scream that sounded like the squeals of a pig being slaughtered, and his whole self launched right into the air!
“Die!”
Meng Lei let out a cold snort and casually flung out a lightning lance. It instantly pierced through the man’s heart and pinned him onto a large tree!
“Y... you’re... a... a... dragon...”
The man’s mouth opened and closed. He wanted to say something, but in the end, before he could utter anything, his head fell to the side... and he croaked!
“Phew!”
Meng Lei breathed a big sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled at ease. That guy was an assassin. He could appear and disappear like a ghost and was incredibly sly and cunning. Even a Sixth-Grade Warrior would perish in his hands if they were careless!
What a pity that he had bumped into Meng Lei instead!
“Murderers will also be killed by others someday!”
Meng Lei walked right up to the small and skinny man. There wasn’t even an ounce of sympathy in his eyes. Who knew just how many people had died in the hands of people like him that specially hid in the shadows to attack adventurers in Magical Beast Forest? He was definitely scum even among the dregs of society. There was nothing regrettable about his death at all.
However, one must admit that people like him were usually very wealthy.
Meng Lei’s eyes turned bright and shiny, and he began to rummage through the corpse’s clothes...
“Nothing in his hands! Nothing in his pockets, either!
“No spatial equipment! No magic crystal cards or gold coins, either!
“How strange! Why isn’t there anything on him? Could he actually be a pauper?
“That shouldn’t be the case, though...”
After searching the body for a good half a day, he simply didn’t find even half a bronze coin. This aggravated Meng Lei badly. His presumption was that wicked crooks like him that relied on attacking and killing adventurers should all be filthy rich, so how could he possibly be penniless?
“Something’s not right here!”
Meng Lei decided to start a fire in a fit of pique and began to burn the man’s dead body. “I don’t believe that you don’t even have half a gold coin on you...”
The fire burned and blazed!
Under the burning of fire-elemental spells, the man’s body didn’t even last that long before he was burned into ashes. His clothes, flesh and blood, and bones—all of them were reduced to ashes.
And with that, true enough, Meng Lei discovered something odd!
A belt made out of some kind of special magic material laid quietly among the ashes. In addition, there were four rings tied to the belt!
“Why didn’t I find this when I was searching his body just now?
“Could the belt have been sewn inside the clothes?
“Yeah, there’s a possibility of that!”
Meng Lei was secretly glad that he had gone a step further. Then, he picked up the belt and began to examine it.
The moment he did, Meng Lei became utterly excited.
“Haha! It’s actually a spatial belt!
“What a huge space!
“I’m rich! I’m gonna be rich now!
“Let’s take a look at the four rings now!
“What the hell?”
Meng Lei was absolutely delirious with joy!
The belt and the four rings were actually all spatial magic devices!
The space inside the belt was the largest and stretched as far as 150 cubic meters!
The four spatial rings were slightly inferior. They were respectively 100 cubic meters, 60 cubic meters, 50 cubic meters, and 10 cubic meters each.
Apart from that, there was a large quantity of highly valuable items, such as magic cores, gold coins, jewels, weapons, magic crystal cards, magic materials, magic devices, and more inside the five spatial magic devices!
Of course, there were also clothes, roast meat, condiments, tents, and some other day-to-day necessities that weren’t valuable but were still useful inside.
“Just the value of the five
