Chapter 150: Golden Steel Wind-Ape, Wind-Elemental Fragment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The 32nd level of Dragon G.o.d Tower was a large, vast, and boundless silver-colored plains.
As far as the eye could see, there were no weeds, no trees, no mountains, and no signs of life.
The whole place seemed like the forbidden zone of life. On the silver-colored ground were violent gusts of wind wreaking havoc while letting out wild shrieks and howls.
And in the sky were roaring streaks of lightning running through the clouds. They thundered deafeningly, their momentum horrifying.
“The ground... It’s made of metal!”
Meng Lei stood proudly between heaven and earth, gazing into the distance at the solitary world where violent gusts of wind wreaked havoc and thunder crackled and boomed loudly, a look of antic.i.p.ation vaguely in his eyes.
At the 31st level, his wish had come true, and he had encountered a Saint Domain Magical Beast. Although it was just a Golden-Backed Ox Scorpion, he had still earned 9.8 billion gold coins from it.
Coupled with its magic core, that was double the rewards for him.
Sweet!
“Here’s hoping that this level doesn’t disappoint me too!”
Meng Lei licked his lips. Then, his form flitted toward the area with the richest magic elements. From the 31st level onward, there was no longer any need for him to use the magic carpet anymore.
He moved at a speed neither too fast nor too slow. Before he knew it, he had already crossed the long distance and arrived at the area where the magic elements were the richest.
A great silver-colored mountain entered his sight. Like the ground surrounding it, the fairly majestic-looking silver-colored mountain was also made out of silver-colored metal. A silvery-white color throughout, the mountain reached as high as several hundred meters tall.
Puff!
Puff!
Halfway up the mountain were two caves. Two thick and solid tornadoes shot out of the caves and blew toward the ground in the distance, howling as they did so.
“A Saint Domain Magical Beast is hiding in the cave?”
Meng Lei landed in front of the cave. As he stared at the two almost identical-looking caves, he made an antagonistic move.
He threw a fireball into the cave with a casual toss of his hand—he wanted to bombard the cave and drive the Saint Domain Magical Beast out of it!
Boom!
The fireball exploded, causing even the entire mountain to shake. Thick smoke billowed out of the cave, and then something that astonished Meng Lei happened the very next moment.
Boom!
Amid dull thunderous booms, the mountain suddenly began to shake and sway, and the ground started to tremble and shake. At the same time, a series of roars also reached his ears.
“What the heck?”
Meng Lei realized something right away, and he retreated with a sudden burst of speed. At the same time, he also gazed at the mountain that was in the midst of standing up, a look of astonishment surfacing in his eyes.
A head!
Arms!
Legs!
That was no G.o.dd.a.m.n mountain—it was clearly a metallic giant!
It was just that... Wasn’t that giant a little too tall?
Was it 1,500 meters tall? Or 2,000 meters?
Meng Lei was dumbstruck by the sight. “What kind of Magical Beast is that?”
Ol’ Amos’ voice rang out as he replied, “That’s the Golden Steel Wind-Ape, a rare species among ape-type Magical Beasts. A Metal-Elemental and Wind-Elemental Saint Domain Magical Beast. It possesses Herculean strength and is fairly difficult to deal with.
“Be careful. If you can’t beat it, run immediately. Don’t let the Golden Steel Wind Ape smack you to death with its palm!”
“The Golden Steel Wind Ape?” Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.
The Golden Steel Wind Ape glared furiously at Meng Lei, raging flames of fury bursting forth from its huge eyes that were as big as elephants.
“d.a.m.ned human! How dare you disturb Bradley’s beautiful dreams! You’re courting death!”
It had only just spoken when it immediately opened its bus-sized mouth and spat out a tornado measuring a dozen or so meters wide.
Whoos.h.!.+
As he faced the tornado sweeping toward him, Meng Lei stood still and motionless. In fact, he was even somewhat in a trance.
Because in the instant that the Golden Steel Wind-Ape had launched its attack, a few dazzling light b.a.l.l.s had dropped from it.
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Pick it up”
“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Physical Body Const.i.tution +3,038!”
“Ding! a.s.similation successful. You have obtained the first-cla.s.s spell, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Blast!”
“Ding! a.s.similation successful. You have obtained the first-cla.s.s spell, Dimensional Blade!”
“Ding! a.s.similation successful. You have obtained a Wind-Elemental Laws of Nature Fragment!”
“What the heck!?”
At the sound of the system notifications constantly ringing out in his mind, Meng Lei became excited at once.
First-cla.s.s spells and a wind-elemental Laws of Nature fragment!
He had really struck gold this time! When he had battled Saint Domain Magical Beasts in the past, they had never once dropped this much good stuff before.
Boom!
However, during this exact instant, the fearsome tornado straight up engulfed Meng Lei, and countless razor-sharp wind blades sliced at his body. The magic robe he was wearing didn’t last long before it was ripped into shreds by the innumerable wind blades.
And then, it was his underwear’s turn...
Similarly, they weren’t spared, either...
However, the amazing thing was that when the razor-sharp wind blades cleaved onto Meng Lei’s body, it was as though they were cleaving onto steel plates—aside from causing bursts of sparks to fly about, they weren’t able to cut even a bit of his skin.
Additionally, it was as though Meng Lei didn’t feel any pain or agony, either. No matter how the wind blades cleaved at him or attacked him, he stayed still and motionless.
“The wind’s lithe gracefulness, nimbleness, raging violence...
“It could be as gentle as a soft breeze caressing one’s face while it could also be as turbulent as to destroy the heavens and earth...
“The wind...”
Waves of comprehension and information regarding the wind-elemental laws of nature appeared within Meng Lei’s mind. He browsed through them quickly as though he was watching a movie. In no time, he had opened the door to the wind-elemental laws of nature!
“So, this is... What wind is!”
After a long while, Meng Lei slowly opened his eyes. A shrewd gleam flashed across his eyes, and then his entire self disappeared inside the tornado. By the time he reappeared, he was already behind the Golden Steel Wind-Ape!
“As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive. You can have a taste of my wind, too!”
Meng Lei opened his mouth. A lithe, transparent air current suddenly shot out of his mouth and shot toward the back of the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s head at lightning-quick speed!
Whoos.h.!.+
Upon coming into contact with air, the light and lithe air current had a sudden, dramatic burst of speed. In an instant, it morphed into an incomparably sharp wind blade that cleaved viciously against the back of the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s head.
Crack!
Amid the sounds of metals colliding against each other, a small crack was cleaved out of the back of the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s head, and peculiar black blood squirted out of it.
Roar!
Although the tiny crack didn’t count as much at all when compared to the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s enormous body, it still pained the Magical Beast, nevertheless. It let out furious roars after roars. Then, it turned around, and its palm smacked viciously toward Meng Lei as though it wanted to crush him into smithereens.
Whoos.h.!.+
Meng Lei vanished in an instant. By the time he reappeared, he was already on the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s shoulder. He said, “Your defenses are pretty good, big guy, but you’re too slow!”
Roar!
The Golden Steel Wind-Ape quickly turned its head and delivered another smack with its palm. Although its speed was fast enough, it was still as slow as an 80-year-old granny in Meng Lei’s eyes.
“Too slow!”
Meng Lei ducked slightly, and then he arrived at the top of the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s head. It was only at this point that its gigantic palm finally landed against its shoulder. With a thunderous boom, the Golden Steel Wind-Ape knocked itself unsteady, causing itself to stumble.
“Hahaha! How stupid!”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but break into a grin. “Have all of its Stat Attribute Points gone to its size and defenses? There’s pretty much no one else with a speed like the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s!”
“Duh! If the Golden Steel Wind-Ape was fast enough, would it appear here?”
Ol’ Amos snorted and said, “But come to think of it, isn’t your speed a little too fast? Even Saint Domain Magical Beasts with agility as their forte aren’t as quick-footed as you. It would be stranger if the Golden Steel Wind-Ape could catch up to you!”
“Haha! Of course!”
Meng Lei smiled smugly in response, thinking to himself, My defenses are also super awesome, let alone my speed! Do you think the G.o.ds-Slaying Rat bloodline is unworthy of its reputation?
