Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 331 Why did we sign that agreement?
The rolling wheel combo had no effect on Li Zheng; it didn't even touch the hem of his clothes. The armored dragon turtle rolled dozens of meters after landing before finally coming to a stop.

"This is a bit tricky." Li Zheng shook his wrist; the sword strike had left his joints aching, demonstrating that the armored dragon turtle's shell was exceptionally hard.

"If you can't break through the defenses, you can't kill them even if the danger level is low..."

Looking at the armored dragon turtle that Sakura was holding back, although it was being pushed off its feet by the ground ridge, it was actually unharmed. Once Sakura ran out of her Force, there would be a full-strength armored dragon turtle on the field, making it a 1v2 situation for Li Zheng.

"It's already this difficult to deal with just one, what if we have to fight two at once... Hmm?" Li Zheng frowned as he pondered a solution, then suddenly his expression changed, and he turned to look at a certain spot.

About a hundred meters from the battlefield, a ripple appeared in space, and the air rippled outwards as if a pebble had fallen into the surface of a lake.

Li Zheng was very familiar with this phenomenon; it was a sign that someone was using a spatial teleportation device.

"Someone's here? Sarutobi Uraku? Or Misaka Tsuchiemon?"

He frowned. At this point, the only people who might come looking for him were these two.

But no matter who came, even if two people came together, it wouldn't help him in the slightest.

On the contrary, it will make the armored dragon turtle go from being five-tenths full to nine-tenths full.

The turbulence finally subsided, revealing a figure.

Unexpectedly, the visitors were not the Misaka siblings, nor anyone Li Zheng knew.

Li Zheng stared at the person from afar, his eyes filled with a terrifying solemnity, because the detection information given by Lao Pu was a complete question mark!
They couldn't even detect the other person's name!
[Find a chance to go for a stroll! Go for a stroll! Go for a stroll!]

Old Pu's exaggerated performance made Li Zheng tense up.

You should know that when Old Pu first met Kamui, he didn't react like this.

Who is this person?

Li Zheng's eyes flickered; for a fleeting moment, he had actually seen the armored dragon turtle trembling!
Sakura had no intention of restraining the armored dragon turtle anymore. She quickly flew to her master's side, ready to leave at any time.

Although the armored dragon turtles are considered hostile creatures, Li Zheng cannot leave through conventional means without dealing with them.

However, he can use the administrator's once-a-day teleportation method to ignore all restrictions and return to channel 879.

However, the next time he comes to 995, he will definitely enter this place again, and if the armored dragon turtles are still there, he will still have to face them head-on.

"It's really troublesome."

Li Zheng was slightly taken aback, then his face was filled with terror.

The person was over a hundred meters away, yet he could hear the other person's complaining voice, and it sounded as if the voice was right next to his ear!
"Don't even think about using administrator privileges to teleport away. That will only cause me more trouble. Just stay up there and wait for me... in your units, thirty seconds."

The voice rang in my ears again, somewhat high-pitched and weak.

As Li Zheng listened to the voice, an absurd thought flashed through his mind: How chaotic must the owner of this voice be in his private life to be so effeminate?
But when he thought about how that person could transmit the sound to his ears from hundreds of meters away without missing a single detail, such a terrifying method meant that the other party's strength was also beyond imagination, Li Zheng put away that absurd thought.

At this moment, the figure slowly walked towards them, step by step, at a very slow pace.

Strangely, the distance between Li Zheng and the person in his eyes had halved after only a few steps!
"Damn it, cultivators have interfered!" A bead of cold sweat trickled down his cheek.

The methods this person displayed, from "transmitting sound over a thousand miles" to "shrinking the earth to an inch," all corresponded to the fantasy novels Li Zheng had read before. If such methods were placed within the Matrix, it would at least indicate that this person possessed two high-level genetic abilities: one wind and one earth!

"Awooo... Roar..." The two armored dragon turtles let out weak roars and retreated warily.

Faced with the newcomer, they couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance; their deep-seated fear forced them to retreat repeatedly.

"I'm lucky to have run into the only pair of little turtles traveling together on this channel. I'll take them back and make two pots of good soup as payment for this trip."

The man continued talking to himself, and soon passed by Li Zheng not far away, heading towards the armored dragon turtle.

"Woo..." The two armored dragon turtles seemed to sense something, and suddenly let out a mournful cry, turning around in terror and fleeing.

Originally intended for offense, the "rolling wheels" are now being used for escape, and they are not slow at all.

But no matter how fast they rolled, they felt as if they were spinning in place, and the distance between them and that terrifying figure not only did not increase, but instead they got closer and closer.

In an instant, the instinct of fear intensified, and a strong aura of death prevented the two armored dragon turtles from even having the slightest thought of resistance.

"They're really vibrant. The more vibrant the ingredients, the more fragrant the soup will be. This trip is barely worth it." The man walked closer, reached around his waist, and a weapon appeared in his hand.

This time, Li Zheng saw it clearly: it was a black, wide-bladed, thick-backed cleaver, exactly the same as the knife used by pig butchers in the market.

The moment the bone-chopping knife appeared, the two armored dragon turtles seemed to sense something extremely terrifying. They immediately broke free from their rolling wheel state and frantically ran away, digging their limbs into the ground, trying to get away from the area.

The four gray-yellow eyes revealed endless fear, not fear of death, but rather fear of something else entirely.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they try, they are ultimately just making futile progress in the same place.

"My little darling, I'm very swift and skillful, I guarantee there won't be any pain." The person said softly, yet his voice could be heard by all living beings.

The next second, the bone-chopping knife slashed down from mid-air, and the armored dragon turtle was decapitated.

Strangely, its body still retained the movement of its last consciousness before death, running wildly.

A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, and the smell of earth mixed with the smell of blood spread in the air.

These were all diamond-grade blood materials, but the man seemed completely unconcerned, letting the blood spray onto the ground, and then raised his cleaver again.

歘!
Another slash pierced the air, and another armored dragon turtle followed suit, bleeding itself as it ran.

Li Zheng watched from behind, feeling both alarmed and heartbroken.

Surprisingly, this person treated diamond-level creatures like mere playthings.

The way the man killed the armored dragon turtle reminded him of how he used to see live chickens slaughtered in the market – chopping off the chicken's head or cutting open the blood vessels in its neck.

Then just throw it on the ground and let it thrash around. While it thrashes, all the blood will drain from the wound until it dies completely.

What pained him was that so many diamond-grade blood materials were wasted, just like chicken blood.

"Now, let's talk about you, Li Zheng." After dealing with the two armored dragon turtles, the man turned to look at Li Zheng, who was suspended in mid-air: "Why did you sign that agreement?"
