Chapter 148: Undying Mud Leeches and Successfully Getting on Ranking
Boom!
The boiling lava drowned Meng Lei instantly like roaring ocean waves. A terribly high temperature burnt Meng Lei and melted the Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor, and it seemed like it was going to burn Meng Lei to ashes.
Roar!
The Red Rock Fire Demon saw this and let out triumphant roars, then got ready to retreat into the lava lake to continue sleeping.
Meng Lei’s death was certain in their views, as there was no way he could survive their lava attack. No human could. There were at least hundreds and millions of outsiders who died in their hands.
Yet, in the next moment, the Red Rock Fire Demons were shocked.
Meng Lei actually stood right where he was, completely unharmed. Even the magic robe on him was just as new as before, without suffering the least bit of damage.
“What?!”
The Red Rock Fire Demons were shocked.
At that moment, Meng Lei had already turned into a stream of light and shot right toward the Red Rock Fire Demons.
Bang, bang, bang!
Amid successive collisions, the Red Rock Fire Demons’ heads burst open like watermelons.
Crushed rocks shot and lava splashed!
“Ding! 1 Red Rock Fire Demon killed. 6,400,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Red Rock Fire Demon killed. 6,370,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Red Rock Fire Demon killed. 6,290,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding…”
Roar!
The remaining Red Rock Fire Demons were terrified, and they all squinted into the lava lake in an attempt to dodge Meng Lei’s attack. Unfortunately, it was of no use.
With a soft snap of fingers… A gigantic rock with a diameter of hundreds of meters appeared in the sky and then smashed down right at this lava lake.
Boom!
With an earth-shaking loud bang, the gigantic rock hit very hard right at the lava lake center. Huge waves of lava were splashed, revealing the Red Rock Fire Demons hidden inside the lava lake.
The unlucky ones were smashed into a flesh pie, and the more fortunate ones were sent into mid-air by the huge force and then killed by Meng Lei.
Though he didn’t meet any Saint Domain Magical Beast, Meng Lei had to admit that these Red Rock Fire Demons that inhabited the 21st level were indeed very strong, and they had a geographical advantage on top of that.
Even peak ninth-grade experts like Francis would definitely be in grave danger when facing them.
One small mishap and they may die on this level. But it was different for Meng Lei.
Even though the Red Rock Fire Demons had a geographical and numerical advantage, they were still a bunch of fragile weaklings waiting for him to kill them.
Ninth-Grade!
Saint Domain!
It was just the difference of a single grade, but it made the distinction between heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
The lava lake gradually returned to peace, but the Red Rock Fire Demons, who were ravaging and roaring just now, had fallen asleep forever.
All of them were killed, and not even a survivor remained.
“7.8 billion gold coins into the pocket!”
Meng Lei revealed a smile, and a fist-sized fiery red crystal appeared in his palm. “With the addition of 128 Red Rock Fire Demons’ magic cores, the 21st level has given me the richest rewards after I entered the Dragon God Tower.
“Pfft, it’s still faster to earn money by hunting Magical Beasts.
“Yeap, off to the next level.
“Hope I can encounter Saint Domain Magical Beasts!”
Whoosh!
The 22nd floor!
…
The 23rd floor!
…
The 24th floor!
…
Meng Lei advanced all the way very smoothly, passing through every level with an average of half an hour. His speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. Five hours later, he had already arrived at the 30th level.
Boom, boom, boom!
Meng Lei turned into a flash of lightning and kept moving and attacking. Strange Magical Beasts constituted entirely of mud, and muddy water were around him. They looked very similar to earthworms and leeches.
After observing them closely, they were like a thick, entangled mass!
They were the peak Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts, Undying Mud Leeches!
There was nothing extraordinary about Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts, but what drove Meng Lei mad was that Undying Mud Leeches were practically impossible to kill.
Be it hitting them with his fists or bombarding them with magic, nothing worked at all!
“It’s impossible to kill them!”
“Boy, you must find the Undying Mud Leeches’ weakness before you can kill them. Otherwise, they will slowly exhaust your physical strength and magic power and kill you eventually.” Ol’ Amos reminded him promptly.
“I know about finding the weakness, but does such a thing really have a weakness?” Meng Lei was also thinking about this question.
From the 21st level onwards, he hadn’t met any Saint Domain Magical Beasts, yet he kept meeting a bunch of extremely strange Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts. They were not only shocking in their numbers, but they were also extremely hard to deal with.
They either had extraordinary defense systems and were very hard to kill, had amazing vitality and couldn’t be killed, or there were so many of them that they couldn’t all be killed!
These were still not that bad. Meng Lei had forced himself to be patient and deal with all of them, but on the 30th level, this bunch of Undying Mud Leeches he encountered made him feel particularly stuck.
After he broke them into pieces, they would return to their original forms…
One spell was enough to burn, dry, chop them up… Yet, within a few breaths, they were okay again.
Physical attacks were useless, and they were immune to magical attacks!
What else could he do?
“If physical and magic attacks don’t work, then try spiritual attacks!” Ol’ Amos reminded him. “Any living thing has a weakness, and Undying Mud Leeches can’t be the exception.”
“I was just thinking about this.”
Meng Lei nodded hard. His spiritual power unleashed like a tide and surged toward the nearest Undying Mud Leech.
Boom, boom, boom!
Meng Lei’s spiritual power was rich to the extreme, and it madly attacked the Undying Mud Leech’s sea of consciousness. To Meng Lei’s surprise, the Undying Mud Leech’s spirit was actually much weaker than he imagined.
One small spiritual attack easily dismantled the seas of consciousness of several Undying Mud Leeches—they rolled their eyes and instantly dropped weakly to the ground!
“Ding! 1 Undying Mud Leech killed. 9,400,000 gold coins gained!”
“It died?”
Meng Lei’s spirit was greatly revived, and he continued attacking.
Bump, bump, bump…
Undying Mud Leeches fell in waves like harvested crops. In a short while, all the Undying Mud Leeches died.
“Ding! 1 Undying Mud Leech killed, 9,490,000 gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Undying Mud Leech killed, 9,620,000 gold coins gained!”
The system’s cue tones kept sounding. Meng Lei looked at the Undying Mud Leeches’ corpses that crashed into the mud pond and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Ol’ President, now I finally understand why everyone said the Dragon God Tower is difficult to venture through.
“The first 10 levels are easy.
“At the 11th level, Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts start to appear, and the difficulty level slowly starts to increase.
“At the 21st level, there are more and more Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts, and they are harder and harder to deal with. The difficulty level increases exponentially.
“Below the Saint Domain level, it is hard for someone to even go past 25 levels!”
“You’ve finally realized it!” Ol’ Amos chuckled and said, “The first 10 levels are easy, so ordinary geniuses can get past them with a bit more effort.
“From the 11th level onward, it gets a bit hard. 90% of exchange competition participants would be stuck in these 10 levels and find it hard to make the slightest progress.
“As for the 21st to the 30th level, especially the higher 5 levels, they are almost impossible for Ninth-Grade experts to pass through.
“Faced with Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts that are astounding in numbers and are super hard to deal with, even pureblood Colossal Dragons have to fail!”
“Indeed!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly.
“So, usually people who can pass through the first 30 levels mostly are in Saint Domain, or have the battle power of Saint Domain.” Ol’ Amos smiled and said, “To be able to reach here, one would be good enough to be listed on the Dragon God Genius Ranking!”
(⊙o⊙)
Meng Lei was stunned. He said with surprise, “Which means my name has already appeared on the Dragon God Genius Ranking?”
“Yes!”
