nThe giant spider was four meters tall, and its entire body was blood-red, as though it was made from a pile of blood Buddha jade. It was covered with needle-like spikes. Its six eyes were as big as grapefruits, cruel and bloodthirsty!

n

n

nThis was a Second-Grade Magical Beast—Blood Jade Demon Spider!

n

n

nAs a second-grade monster, the Blood Jade Demon Spider was extremely tyrannical, especially at the border where other Magical Beasts were scarce!

n

n

nBut today, this spider was in trouble because the four humans that besieged it were not weak. The three men surrounded the Blood Jade Demon Spider and attacked it continuously!

n

n

nThe woman at the periphery was holding a magic wand. Streaks of lightning bolts gathered on top of the spider’s head, threatening to strike any moment!

n

n

nRoar!

n

n

nThe Blood Jade Demon Spider felt a strong sense of danger from the lightning above its head. It roared at the sky, and its eight long legs leaped as though they were springs, charging toward the woman!

n

n

nIt wanted to break the magic spell above its head and prevent it from completing!

n

n

n“Protect Alison!”

n

n

nA brawny man with a giant axe shouted as he slashed at one of the spider’s legs. Sparks spattered among clanking metal. The spider’s leg remained intact, revealing the sturdiness of its legs.

n

n

nEven so, the spider paused for a moment. At this time, the lightning above its head finally finished gathering, forming an extremely dazzling and powerful lightning dragon!

n

n

n“Dance of the lightning dragon!” yelled the woman, as she struck down with her magic wand!

n

n

nSnap!

n

n

nWith a clear-sounding crackle, the lightning dragon suddenly descended!

n

n

nCrackling—

n

n

nThe Blood Jade Demon Spider was struck, causing its blood-colored body to twitch violently. It appeared like it was on stimulants as it shuffled around!

n

n

n“Here’s our chance!”

n

n

nThe three men would never miss such a good opportunity and took the chance to launch their strongest attack!

n

n

nSnap!

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nSplat!

n

n

nThree attacks struck the Blood Jade Demon Spider at the same time. This terrifying second-grade magical beast let out a scream and fell down instantly!

n

n

nAfter that, it was quiet!

n

n

nS-so powerful!

n

n

nMeng Lei, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed everything. He was utterly stunned by the terrifying Blood Jade Demon Spider, the sharp lightning dragon that descended from the sky, and the three men with frightening attacks!

n

n

nAll these left him shaken as he experienced the power of this world and his own insignificance!

n

n

nIt would be great if I was so strong!

n

n

nMeng Lei sighed.

n

n

nAt that moment, the cold and emotionless voice of the system sounded. “Ding! Falling object detected. Will you pick it up?”

n

n

n“Yes, pick it up!”

n

n

n“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution 3!”

n

n

n“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution 3!”

n

n

n“Ding! Pickup successful. Host’s Spirit 1!”

n

n

n“Ding! Pickup successful, received Meditation Method!”

n

n

nAs the series of prompts sounded, the familiar warm current and icy aura reappeared and began to strengthen Meng Lei’s body and spirit. However, Meng Lei was attracted by the Meditation Method that appeared last!

n

n

n“Meditation Method? What is this?”

n

n

nMeng Lei was curious and quickly checked it out!

n

n

nAfter a look, Meng Lei was instantly ecstatic!

n

n

nThe cultivation of a Magician mainly compassed two segments:

n

n

nFirst, absorb the magical elements between heaven and earth and refine them into magic power.

n

n

nSecond, increase your spiritual power!

n

n

nBoth steps could only be completed through “meditation”!

n

n

nIt could be said that meditation was the basic foundation of a Magician. Without meditation, one couldn’t get magic power or improve their spiritual power!

n

n

nIt could be seen that if one wanted to become a Magician, they must at least master meditation. At the moment, Meng Lei did not know anything about meditation!

n

n

nThis came at the right time. With the meditation method, I can gain magic power through meditation!

n

n

nMeng Lei was inexplicably excited. He could only use the system to pick up the magic-power light balls under certain conditions!

n

n

nToo many limitations!

n

n

nThe probability was too low!

n

n

nFull of uncertainty!

n

n

nIt would be different after he had mastered the Meditation Method.

n

n

nBeing able to refine magic power was equivalent to having the ability to obtain magic power via his own efforts.

n

n

nMeng Lei glanced at the four of them and was about to sneak away. He planned to look for a safe hiding spot to try out the Meditation Method he received.

n

n

n“Who is there?”

n

n

nUnexpectedly, at that moment, the woman who was closest to him suddenly turned her head and waved her magic wand. It shot out a lightning bolt as thick as a thumb and struck a small tree in front of Meng Lei!

n

n

nSnap!

n

n

nThe small tree was split into two, and the fractured area was almost carbonized!

n

n

nMy god!!!

n

n

nMeng Lei fell to the ground, his face full of horror!

n

n

n“Alison, what’s the matter?”

n

n

n“There’s someone over there!”

n

n

n“Huh?”

n

n

nThe four soon discovered Meng Lei!

n

n

n“Who are you? What are you sneaking around here?”

n

n

nThe brawny man with the giant axe yelled as he frowned and stared at Meng Lei. The other three also stared at Meng Lei, with threatening gazes. The Magical Beast Forest may be extremely dangerous but what was more terrifying were other humans!

n

n

nWhen they were in fierce battle with the magical beast just now, had someone snuck up behind for an attack, they would be in danger!

n

n

n“I… I’m a villager from nearby!” Meng Lei ‘trembled with fear’. “I… was attracted by your battle. I was simply curious and came over to take a look. I have no bad intentions…”

n

n

n“Villager?”

n

n

n“I didn’t sense any Battle Aura from him!”

n

n

n“Alison, did you sense any Magic Aura?”

n

n

n“No!”

n

n

n“Looks like he is just an ordinary villager!”

n

n

nThe four of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The brawny man with the giant axe shouted, “You are so daring. A young brat that dares to barge into the Magical Beast Forest alone. Do you want to lose your life?”

n

n

n“Go back quickly. This place is not for you!” The female Magician, Alison, reminded him out of kind intentions. She was plain-looking, with freckles on her face. However, she was tall, and he could see her exquisite curves even through the magic robe!

n

n

nThese four shouldn’t be bad people!

n

n

nAlthough Meng Lei looked less than 15 years old, he was a middle-aged uncle in his previous life. He had met countless people and had some experience in judging people through their words and mannerism!

n

n

nHe could see that these four were young and were probably college students. He could tell from the badges on their chests!

n

n

nSince they are not bad people, perhaps I can follow them? By doing so, I can find and pick up things!

n

n

nWhy not… have a try?

n

n

nJust as he was thinking about this, Meng Lei squeezed out two tears and said with a sad face, “I… I… am lost! I can’t find my way home!”

n

n

n“Lost?”

n

n

nThe four of them looked at each other and frowned at the same time. At last, Alison said, “He looks so piteous alone. Why don’t we bring him along? The Magical Beast Forest is too dangerous!”

n

n

n“This… doesn’t seem like a good idea?”

n

n

nA skinny young man holding a dagger frowned. “The Magical Beast Forest is so dangerous, and we will be targeting magical beasts for this training. Wouldn’t it be a burden to bring him along?”

n

n

n“I’m not a burden, I am very strong!”
