Chapter 57: Wiping Out The Bandits, A Spatial Ring



Chapter 57: Wiping Out The Bandits, A Spatial Ring

To both sides were towering mountains and precipitous ridges, while only a valley ran through the middle. A group of shabbily-dressed bandits was lined up in the valley’s center, blocking the wide pathway there!

Their clothes were torn and tattered, and they were the very picture of a ragtag crowd. Currently, they were all standing around a magic ballista, and they watched the magic carpet suspended in mid-air excitedly!

“Tsk, tsk, a magic carpet!”

“Our prey this time must be pretty rich. A magic carpet alone is already worth 30,000 gold coins, and comparable to a small trade caravan!”

“Hehe! There are so many big preys lately! What we earn in a day is comparable to what we usually earn in a month...”

“I am the one that planted this tree, and I am the one that paved this road. If you wish to pass, then leave your money behind! Boys, continue to launch the Violent Thunder Crossbow, and shoot that magic carpet down for me!”

A savage-looking one-eyed bandit riding on a Horned Cloud-Striding Horse shouted his orders loudly as he brandished an enormous sword and waved it about. He was the leader of the Lone Wolf Bandits, Lone Wolf!

“Yes, Boss!”

The bandits let out a loud cheer and launched the magic ballista. Accompanied by an intense and dazzling flash of lightning, another two to three meters-long lightning arrow hurtled outwards, going straight for the magic carpet!

“A magic carpet! Hehe!”

Lone Wolf, the leader, licked his lips with a hint of savagery in his lone eye. “Here’s hoping that the prey today doesn’t disappoint me!”

“It’s coming again!”

“What do we do, Big Brother Meng Lei?”

Blood drained from the extremely frightened trio’s faces as they fearfully watched the lightning arrow hurtling toward them at high speed. Should it strike them, even if they were lucky enough to avoid being stabbed to death, they would also be smashed into pieces after falling from so high up!

They would still die a terrible death, nonetheless!

“These are bandits!”

Meng Lei stood tall and proud on the magic carpet. With a casual wave of his arm, a lightning shield that shone bright and dazzling quietly appeared and wrapped around the magic carpet!

Boom!

The lightning arrow struck heavily against the lightning shield. A dull boom rang out, and the lightning shield began to shake violently, seemingly showing signs of shattering!

However, the strange thing was that it ultimately managed to stand strong. The lightning arrow gradually exhausted all of its energy and stopped moving in the end!

“What?

“They actually managed to block it?”

Lone Wolf was astounded. “The Violent Thunder Crossbow has astonishing might and can directly shoot a fifth-grade expert to death, yet it couldn’t penetrate that lightning shield. Could it be that... That protective shield is a magic shield that’s higher than fifth-grade?!

“Instant release of a fifth-grade spell?

“Sh*t!

“There’s a high chance that our prey is a great Ninth-Grade Magician!”

Lone Wolf’s countenance changed dramatically. He shouted, “Retreat! Hurry and retreat!”

Right after he spoke, he whipped the Horned Cloud-Striding Horse beneath him viciously. He dashed over to the Violent Thunder Crossbow and kept the mighty thunder crossbow. Then, he raced away on his horse, deathly afraid of being even a step too slow!

“Boss?”

“What’s wrong with Boss?”

Upon seeing their leader suddenly fleeing for his life, the whole group of bandits looked bewildered. Why was their leader retreating when everything was fine and dandy?

“A bunch of good-for-nothings! Retreat at once!” bellowed Lone Wolf furiously.

“Okay, okay...”

It was only then that the bandits began to retreat.

However, it was too late!

Buzz, buzz!

All the Thunder Elements within a radius of several hundred meters swiftly converged and instantly formed 10 Thunder Pythons that were over 30 meters long. Their lightning scales shone and dazzled, and their massive bodies looked vivid and true to life. They floated in the sky, giving off an aura that made people’s hearts pound wildly in fear!

“Sh*t!”

Lone Wolf’s eyelid twitched violently as he took in the mighty terrifying aura in the sky. Fear and hopelessness filled his heart.

“A sixth-grade spell! That’s definitely the might of a sixth-grade spell!

“Instant release of a sixth-grade spell!

“My god! Just who have I offended?”

“Lightning Snake Flurry... Land!”

10 Thunder Pythons howled and roared as they swooped down from the sky. They crashed head-first into the ground and exploded with a deafening boom. An overwhelming amount of Thunder Elements rampaged madly and enveloped the area within a radius of 100 meters!

“Ahhh!”

Amidst shrill and tragic screams, the bandits were burned into charcoal, reduced to ashes, or evaporated into vapors...

They died a tragic and miserable death!

It was hard to watch!

“Oh my god!”

When Lone Wolf looked back and saw what had happened, he became even more horrified. He brandished a dagger and viciously stabbed the Horned Cloud-Striding Horse in its rump. The horse let out a shrill whinny and broke into a desperate dash in a dramatic burst of speed!

“An expert of that level... is actually riding on a magic carpet!

“Isn’t he just out to bully others?!”

Lone Wolf was furious and filled with regrets. Magic carpets were low-grade flight tools that only Low-Level Magicians would use; High-Level Magicians completely turned their noses up at them. That was why he had dared to rob them of the magic carpet!

Never did he ever imagined that things would go completely out of his expectations!

“I’ve run into a wall this time!”

Lone Wolf was so full of regret that he was beating his chest, but all he could do was to flee desperately for his life!

“Flee? Do you think you can successfully flee?”

Meng Lei smiled calmly and snapped his fingers lightly. Thunder Elements converged and quietly formed a lightning lance!

“Go!”

With a soft command from Meng Lei, the three-meters-long lightning lance pierced through the air and shot lightning-quick toward Lone Wolf. It pierced right through Lone Wolf’s back and protruded from his chest!

“Ahhh!”

Lone Wolf let out a terrible scream as the momentum threw him out. He fell into the bushes by the road, with no one knowing whether he was alive or dead!

“Big Brother Meng Lei, you’re so awesome!”

Jonah, Joseph, and Andrew were dumbfounded from astonishment. They stared at Meng Lei’s back, their eyes full of bright and twinkling little stars!

“You guys can do it too if you cultivate well!”

Meng Lei smiled at them. Then, he steered the magic carpet down.

By the time he reached right in front of Lone Wolf, the vice-ridden bandit leader was already on the brink of death and on his last breath. It was evident that he wasn’t going to make it!

However, when he saw Meng Lei’s group of four standing on the magic carpet, his eyes widened big and round furiously, and disbelief filled his eyes. “A-all of you a... aren’t...”

Before he’d even finished, Lone Wolf’s head fell to the side, and he stopped breathing altogether. However, his eyes were widened big and round, a clear indication that he hadn’t died in peace!

He’d thought that he had run into super experts, but never would he have expected that the ones that had wiped out his Lone Wolf Bandits and killed him would actually be... Four little brats!

He practically didn’t die in peace!

“Big Brother Meng Lei, is that guy d-dead?”

Hiding behind Meng Lei, Jonah and the other two stuck out their heads carefully, their little faces pale.

“Yes, he’s dead!”

Meng Lei nodded and hopped off the magic carpet. His eyes fell onto Lone Wolf’s left hand right away, and he noticed a bronze-colored ring on his left ring finger...

Meng Lei took the ring off the finger and imbued spiritual power into it. He burst into laughter at once.

Looks like I was right! It really is a spatial ring!

A spatial ring!

The treasure that Meng Lei had longed for!

It was just that it was too expensive, so all he could do was sigh and look longingly at it!

However, when Meng Lei had seen the Violent Thunder Crossbow vanishing right before his eyes just now, he’d guessed that this group of bandits probably owned spatial equipment. It looked like his guess had been on the mark!

I went through so much trouble to look for one to no avail, only to obtain it effortlessly in the end!

It’s a spatial ring with an area of over 50 cubic meters! I’ve struck it big this time!

Eh? There are actually so many things inside?

Several objects floated about in Meng Lei’s mental vision. There were heaps of gold coins, heaps of magic cores, heaps of jewels...

What a dazzling array of things!

What a wide variety of things!

They almost blinded Meng Lei!

I’ve really struck it big this time!

Meng Lei’s eyes shone brightly.

The gold coins alone probably amount quite a few hundred thousand? Not to mention the other things, such as magic cores, jewels, and weapons!

Our forefathers don’t lie, indeed. Horses really don’t bulk up without feeding at night, and people really don’t get rich without unexpected windfalls!
