Chapter 65: Gouging Out Dragon Cores & Picking Up Dragon Sh*t

Chapter 65: Gouging Out Dragon Cores & Picking Up Dragon Sh*t

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shock!

Confusion!

Disbelief!

Meng Lei was feeling a complex mix of emotions!

A Saint Domain Fire Dragon was already a strong and powerful existence that stood far above all other lifeforms. Creatures that could match up to it... were far and few, yet even it had been killed!

What did this bit of strength he possessed even count as?

“There are too many big fishes in Heaven’s Vault Continent! Sigh, I’d better just cultivate properly instead!”

Meng Lei readjusted his frame of mind. Then, as he gazed at the Fire Dragon carcass on the little island, an indistinct look flashed across his eyes. The value that a Saint Domain Fire Dragon’s carcass held was hard to imagine.

It was no exaggeration to say that even a single dragon scale scraped off from its body or a pile of dragon sh*t could fetch an exorbitant sum of money. After all, they were a Saint Domain dragon scale and a pile of Saint Domain dragon sh*t!

Its dragon core, in particular, was absolutely priceless and a most valuable treasure. Even a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast’s magic core could go for up to 10,000,000 gold coins, much less a Saint Domain dragon core?

“Also, it’s said that the Dragon race adores shiny and glittering things very much and loves to sleep in dens built with gold coins and jewels. As such, every dragon is a moving treasure vault.”

The moment he thought of that, Meng Lei became worked up at once. A moving treasure vault! If that was really true, then he’d be rich for sure.

“I have to go down there! I absolutely have to!”

The more Meng Lei thought about it, the more agitated he became. How he wished he could jump into the pit, walk right up to the Saint Domain Fire Dragon carcass, pluck off its dragon scales, and pick up its dragon sh*t...

Now, here was the problem—how was he supposed to get down there?

Meng Lei tossed a rock into the pit. An invisible “wall” blocked the rock, and it couldn’t drop into the pit at all. Come to think of it, the same “wall” must have also blocked the water from the pool.

“A magic barrier?”

Meng Lei’s brows drew together at once. Magic barriers were a type of defensive magic spell. They basically worked on the same principle as magic shields and possessed defensive and isolation effects.

The difference laid only in the size of their effective range.

“With this magic barrier here, how am I supposed to get down there?”

Meng Lei was rather anxious. To pass through a magic barrier, one must either get the spellcaster’s permission or break it using sheer brute force!

Apart from that, there were no other solutions!

“It’s highly likely that the Saint Domain Fire Dragon put up the magic barrier. How can I possibly break it apart when I’m so weak?”

Despite thinking so, Meng Lei still attempted to launch an attack anyway.

What if... It broke, right?

The earth in the surroundings grouped together and swiftly transformed into a ten-meters-tall earth giant. This was the Sixth-Grade Earth Spell, Swamp Giant!

Boom!

The giant drew back its fist and smashed it hard against the magic barrier. Following a deafening explosion, the magic barrier remained as intact as ever, whereas the recoil’s impact shattered the earth giant.

“As expected, the magic barrier is rock-solid, indeed!”

Meng Lei’s heart sank. Then, he launched the strongest earth-elemental spell that he could cast as of now—Giant Boulder. Earth Elements started gathering in the sky and, under Meng Lei’s deliberate manipulation, condensed into an enormous rock shaped like an electric drill.

“Giant Boulder... Land!”

Meng Lei let out a low shout. The rock boulder plummeted from the sky and instantly got past the pool water before crashing violently against the magic barrier!

Boom!

Amid the shocking collision sounds, a fearsome rebounding force erupted and spread into the surroundings. The rock boulder was smashed directly into smithereens, and along with it, the mud at the bottom of the pool splashed everywhere from the impact.

Meng Lei was also thrown out, of course.

“Ugh!”

With a tuck and roll, Meng Lei landed in the distance. A sense of helplessness welled up in him as he gazed at the magic barrier that had now revealed a large part of itself. Even the Seventh-Grade Spell Giant Boulder hadn’t been able to leave even a scratch on the magic barrier. What must he do in order to break the magic barrier?

Thunder spells?

Fire spells?

Or brute force?

“There’s water here, so all spells’ effect, be it thunder-elemental or fire-elemental, will be drastically reduced. At this point, I can only give brute force a try!”

The moment he thought of that, Meng Lei promptly transformed into a Dragon Person. He built an earthen wall around himself to block out the pool water in the surroundings. Then, he leaped high into the air and smashed his fist down.

“C’mon, break apart!!!”

Meng Lei had a body that was comparable to a Seventh-Grade Warrior’s. After he transformed into a Dragon Person, his strength was also enhanced severalfold. By further borrowing the force from the downward momentum, this punch of his now contained an absolutely astounding amount of power.

Even an Eighth-Grade Magical Beast would find the punch hard to stomach if it took the hit. This was also the strongest attack that Meng Lei could currently deliver.

“If this fails too, then there’s totally nothing I can do about it anymore!”

Meng Lei had a look of determination in his eyes as he crashed heavily into the magic barrier. However, something completely out of his expectations happened. In the instant that his fist connected with the magic barrier, a slight tremor went through the magic barrier, as though hard, solid ice melting into tepid water or refined steel melting into molten metal...

Whoosh!

Meng Lei’s fist passed right through and went straight past the magic barrier!

Along with his fist, Meng Lei himself also passed through the magic barrier!

It was much like how a sharp arrow passed through a sheet of paper—no obstruction whatsoever!

“What the heck!?”

Meng Lei looked absolutely stupefied.

I’d come smashing down with such an aggressive momentum, yet in the end, I didn’t even touch anything at all and passed right through?

What the heck are they up to?!

As if a meteor, Meng Lei crashed toward the lava lake at extremely high speed. Scorching heatwaves rushed toward his face, and Meng Lei turned pale from fear at once. The lava’s temperature went as high as over 1,000°C. Should he fall into the lava lake, could his weak and tiny arms and legs even take it?

Even the Fire Dragon bloodline and the Fire Demon bloodline wouldn’t be able to take it. The temperature was too high!

“Earth Orbs!”

At the eleventh hour, Meng Lei cast Earth Orbs, one of the lowest-grade spells, in succession. Several basketball-sized earthen balls formed instantly and blocked him underneath his body to reduce his speed. Just as Meng Lei was about to fall into the lava lake, he finally came to a stop.

“Phew!”

When he sensed that his body was no longer falling anymore, at last, Meng Lei involuntarily let out a long breath of air. That was seriously too dangerous just now. Had he fallen into the lava lake, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

After that, Meng Lei manipulated the earthen balls to pull himself up to the little island in the lake center. The moment he got near the island, a terrifying wave of pressure rushed toward him, and Meng Lei was almost flattened to the ground. Even breathing had become difficult!

“How terrifying!

“How absolutely terrifying!

“Even a carcass can give off such terrifying pressure. Just how powerful must it have been when it was still alive?”

Meng Lei wiped the cold sweat off his brow and slowly straightened his back. He examined the behemoth lying prostrate in front of him, with an aghast look all over his face!

It was massive, and even a scale was as big as a bamboo dustpan!

When one stood underneath it, it was as if they were standing at the bottom of city walls!

Its crimson-red body was incomparably hard and tough. Filled with a metallic texture, it felt like one was touching steel when they touched the body surface. Light knocks against it produced dull thuds, and it didn’t seem like a body made out of flesh and blood at all.

“Tough, massive, and boiling hot! Is that what a Fire Dragon is?”

Meng Lei clicked his tongue in wonder and admiration as he circled around the Fire Dragon and examined it closely. In the past, he had only been able to see creatures like this as statues, on walls, and in magic-related books. He’d never had the opportunity to see it in the flesh like what he was doing now before.

After a round of observation, Meng Lei now had a deeper understanding of a Fire Dragon’s strength and power. He also somewhat understood why a creature like it was able to stand far above the other lifeforms now.

“With such a fearsome body, it’s hard to be weak even if it’d wanted to!

“But... With such a hard and tough body, what must I do in order to dig its dragon core out and pluck off its scales? Am I really going to have to pick up its... dragon sh*t?”
