Picking Up Attributes From Today Chapter 257: Salamander, Colossal Dragons Pulling Carriage

Chapter 257: Salamander, Colossal Dragons Pulling Carriage

The white flame released an astonishing heat, with a temperature far higher than lava. The scorching heat could be felt from a great distance.

“Though this little fellow was just born, its combat strength is comparable to a mid-level half-deity. If it was allowed to spread its faith and collect the power of faith…” Dodola praised, “It can become a deity within 100 years! Though it’s a pity that there are no more excess sources of faith in the Heaven’s Vault Continent for it!”

“A monster indeed.”

Meng Lei nodded slightly, looking at the huge fireball crashing towards him, and uttered, “Absolute Zero!”

Whoosh!

A chilly golden current shot out to meet the hundred-meter huge fireball in an instant.

An amazing scene occurred—once the fireball touched the golden chilly air, it instantly sealed in ice.

Krak, krak, krak…

Shortly within a few breaths, the fireball was frozen into a huge ice ball, releasing chilly air into its surroundings. The large fireball rapidly shrunk into its original white flame.

The white flame darted all over the place as it crashed onto the ice ball madly, trying to break free.

How could Meng Lei allow that to happen?

The ice ball shrunk swiftly as well to just ten meters in size in an instant, forming a frozen prison trapping the white flame inside.

Bam, bam, bam!

“You baddie! Let me out!

“Baddie! You’re a villain!”

The white flame kept scolding furiously as it rammed the interior of the ice ball, but it was just helpless against the ice ball.

“A youth who knows no fear.” Meng Lei laughed softly and shook his head, tightening the shrunk ice ball even more. “I’ll only let you out whenever you give in.”

“Let’s go, Dodola!”

Meng Lei waved for Dodola and prepared to leave.

“Hey, baddie! Where are you going?”

The white flame was becoming anxious.

“I’m leaving here.”

Meng Lei did not look back.

“Don’t… Don’t go! It’s too cold down here!” The white flame panicked. “Let me out, and I’ll not attack you, at most, okay?”

“You sure you won’t attack again?” Meng Lei turned his head and smiled.

Now little thing, that’ll teach you a lesson!

“No… No, I won’t!”

“What if you attack again?”

“Baddie! I said I wouldn’t, and I’ll definitely not, I always keep my word!” the white flame replied angrily.

“Alright, that’s what you said!”

Meng Lei withdrew the icy prison with a wave of hands, but once the white flame was freed, it was poised to initiate another attack—it hated Meng Lei to the core!

“Hmm? Attacking me again? How did you manage to forget what you’ve said just now?” Meng Lei raised his eyebrows, and chilling currents flowed out of his fingertips.

The white flame stopped still in mid-air and hesitated for a moment before it snorted. “You baddie! I’ll keep my word, I said I wouldn’t attack you, and I mean it!”

“Now that’s more like it. I like kids who keep their words.” Meng Lei chuckled. “Oh right! What’s your name?”

“Name?” The white flame was stupefied. “What’s a name?”

“Name is a designation, or what we call you. Everyone has a name, I’m Meng Lei, and that’s Dodola.” Meng Lei smiled. “Don’t tell me you don’t have a name? How about I name you?”

“Sure! Okay!”

The white flame was excited.

“Since your entire body is milky-white like milk…” Meng Lei said in a proper tone, “How about Wahaha[1]?”

“Wahaha? That sounds quite nice!” The white flame was quite excited.

“Of course! Wahaha AD calcium milk is a treasure that can strengthen divine bodies!”

Meng Lei praised, “Back in my hometown, everyone loves to drink Wahaha because it represents power, the symbol of strength…”

“Wow! Wahaha is so awesome! Okay, I’m called Wahaha!”

The white flame was full of enthusiasm. “Hahaha, I have a name now! Wahaha… Tsk, tsk, such a mighty name!”

Meng Lei almost burst into laughter as he maintained a calm expression. “Wahaha, let’s reintroduce ourselves. I’m Meng Lei, nice to meet you.”

“Er… er…”

Wahaha paused before it turned into a little snake with a fiery red body. “Nice to meet you too, I’m Wahaha!”

“What the heck? It’s a Salamander!”

Upon the sight of Wahaha’s true form, Dodola was shocked. “No wonder it possessed the power of a half-deity. It’s a Salamander, after all!”

“Dodola, what’s a Salamander?” Meng Lei asked quickly.

“Salamander is a kind of extremely powerful fire elemental lifeform, and fire is their nutrient!” Dodola explained, “The higher the level of the fire, the mightier it becomes and the faster the Salamander’s combat strength increases. There are very few fire elemental lifeforms that are stronger than Salamanders!”

“Salamanders are actually that impressive?” Meng Lei was amazed as he could not help lighting up some Netherworld Divine Fire on his hand.

The Netherworld Divine Fire was the exclusive indestructible flame to the Divine Netherworld Phoenix, which could burn anything in everlasting flames. Any normal beings would stay away at the sight of it.

However, once Wahaha saw the Netherworld Divine Fire, its eyes lit up and stared as if it was a hungry wolf that saw a fat, delicious sheep.

“Wahaha, we’re friends now.” Meng Lei smiled slightly. “This is my first gift to you, my friend!”

As he spoke, Meng Lei snapped his fingers and flicked the Netherworld Divine Fire over.

“Wah!”

Wahaha opened its mouth fully and directly swallowed this bit of fire. After which, it burped out black smoke, its eyes filled with friendliness toward Meng Lei.

“Meng Lei, you’re such a nice guy. I was wrong about you just now, so I’m sorry!” Wahaha was a little embarrassed. “And well, I don’t have any welcome gift for you…”

“Haha, you’re just born into the world. It’s normal to have no gifts for me.” Meng Lei laughed and waved. “I’m leaving, talk to you later.”

“Where are you going?” Wahaha gave a puzzled look.

“Home!”

After leaving the Tower of Time, Meng Lei reappeared in the imperial palace and felt a terrifying divine power spreading around and enshrouding the entire Imperial City.

“Puhaman has succeeded?”

Meng Lei’s eyebrow was raised when he heard Puhaman’s laughter from the side palace.

“50,000 years! Hahaha, didn’t expect that I Puhaman could have such a day! You have my gratitude, Master!”

Whoosh!

Puhaman left the side palace with a flash and went straight in front of Meng Lei to pay his respect ceremoniously. He was just short of kissing Meng Lei’s smelly shoes.

“That’ll do already! What gives?”

Meng Lei rolled his eyes. “Since you’re out, quickly get going with handling governing affairs!”

“Yes, Master!”

Puhaman did not question, as he went on with his business in the administration hall, while Meng Lei returned to his palace.

“Master!”

Upon seeing Meng Lei, Bubbles, Nadja, and Seisia bowed and greeted respectfully.

“Come! Eat with me!”

Meng Lei called the trio into the palace and chose a divine beast carcass to taste. Having eaten too much pork, it was time for a change in flavor.

In a while, the boiling soup in a pot gave off a tantalizing fragrance.

“That smells great!”

“Master, what meat is this?”

“The divine beast Tai RiTian[2]! This is a superior-grade dog meat hotpot. You’re welcome to eat more!”

“It’s our pleasure then!”

Time flew by as one month passed…

After a month of busy construction works, Mount Dragon God underwent earthshaking changes—the lush trees were gone, the flourishing weeds were gone, and the rugged mountain passes were gone.

What remained was a white jade mountain paved entirely with white jade crystals.

Indeed, the entire Mount Dragon God had been transformed into a jade mountain.

The surface was entirely paved with white jade crystals, forming every step on the stairs from the foot of the mountain to the top. On the mountain top stood a statue 100,000 feet tall. It was made of gold, making the appearance seem incredibly magnificent, holy, mighty—it was Meng Lei’s statue!

While in the five kilometers radius of Mount Dragon God, it was transformed into a large square.

At this very moment, the square was packed. Some were powerful figures from the Dragon God Empire, others were experts coming from the other three empires, and the rest of the continent.

This day was not just Meng Lei’s day of enthronement, but it was also the day of the great battle well known all over the continent. How could they miss it?

Other than those were nobles, followers, civilians nearby, and diplomats from each nation.

These numbers were far more than millions!

Everyone, each with different thoughts, eagerly awaited the opening ceremony.

…

Roar!

The sun rose gradually into the sky, and just as the crowd was starting to get impatient, an earth-shattering roar came from afar.

“Look over there!” someone shouted.

Everyone livened up as they shot their eyes over. They saw a huge black figure, like a battleship or an aircraft carrier, coming toward their side in roars of thunder.

It was getting closer!

Eventually, everyone could look at the black figure clearly, and they were shocked with their mouths wide open!

The so-called black figure was actually 10 prodigious Colossal Dragons. That’s right, 10 Colossal Dragons!

The Golden Colossal Dragon upfront was 20,000-feet-long with gold skin throughout its body, looking absolutely magnificent.

On the other hand, the Earth Dragon, Blue Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Black Dragon, Fire Dragon, Green Dragon, Tempest Colossal Dragon, Light Colossal Dragon, and Frost Colossal Dragon were 10,000-feet-long and extraordinary as well!

,000-feet-long Colossal Dragon!

Actual half-deities Colossal Dragons!

The appearance of so many half-deities was absolutely sensational, but what was even more shocking was…

The ten half-deity Colossal Dragons’ necks were each tied up in huge chains connected to a large floating dragon carriage!

Judging from the scene, it was clear to the crowd that these half-deity Colossal Dragons were pulling the floating dragon carriage!

“Where did all these half-deity Colossal Dragons come from? Weren’t the half-deities of Dragon Island wiped out by His Majesty Meng Lei?” A Saint Domain expert felt uneasy.

“This… Who knows?” Others at the side shook their heads.

“How dare he use half-deity Colossal Dragons to pull a carriage? That is too much!”

Among the crowd, an elderly man in a black cape ground his teeth.

He was the only surviving half-deity dragon that had escaped from Meng Lei’s destruction of the Dragon Island—the Tempest Colossal Dragon.

The reason he had shown up here was that he wanted to witness how Meng Lei would meet his demise in front of him!

The tragic thing was he had not yet seen Meng Lei’s death, yet he saw this disgraceful scene.

The Tempest Colossal Dragon’s hatred was like an endless gushing river, like an overflowing river beyond control!

“And these bastards, they would really rather bring humiliation to the Dragons and commit such disgraceful acts! Our prestige was thrown away by these rascals!”

Others might not recognize these dragons, but the Tempest Colossal Dragon did—these were those Saint Domain Colossal Dragons from the Dragon Island!

The only question the Tempest Colossal Dragon had was how had these sinful creatures managed to break through to become half-deities!?
