Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 874 Found you!

The crimson demon vanished, but the three-headed ghost lion lay on the ground, unable to get up.

"Useless guy."

Li Zheng jumped off the back of the three-headed demon lion and shook his head helplessly.

This guy was pretty arrogant at first, daring to attack me directly. How come he's so scared this time just by feeling the pressure of the demon god's image?

"Ok?"

Just as Li Zheng was contemplating whether to let the three-headed demon lion go and travel alone, he suddenly sensed something and turned to look to his left.

During his cultivation, the three-headed ghost lion followed the arrow to a dark and sunless space. Li Zheng focused his eyes and realized it was a place similar to a cave.

Such environments usually harbor creatures that prefer dark surroundings. Li Zheng heard a rustling sound coming from his left and initially thought it was an ordinary creature disturbed by the image of the demon god, but in an instant, he sensed an unusual fluctuation.

"This fluctuation feels familiar, as if I've encountered it somewhere before."

Li Zheng frowned slightly, his body swayed slightly, and he rushed towards the direction from which the fluctuations originated.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of ordinary Black Iron-level Dreadbat corpses appeared in front of Li Zheng. If this were when he first entered the Matrix, these Dreadbats could have torn any player to shreds.

Now, all of these terror bats are dead, and their deaths are rather bizarre; they have all lost their eyes.

Where the eyes used to be, there were only dark holes left, and the eyeballs had all disappeared!

"Strange, is it a battle between creatures within the Matrix?" Li Zheng frowned slightly after examining the area. "Or did someone from the outer city enter the Matrix?"

Whether it's the Matrix, the outer city, the wilderness, or the sinful realm, as long as rules exist, there will be ways to smuggle people across.

This can be seen from some of the things that the clone predecessors did.

Distribute your mental energy to replace your eyes in seeing in dim environments.

In an instant, the entire area was imprinted in Li Zheng's mind, every detail vividly presented.

After searching every inch of the land, Li Zheng found nothing unusual, concluding that whatever killed the terror bats must have already left.

"Old Pu, can you check which door is open?"

Li Zheng looked around, and information appeared before his eyes.

[Locked up.]

[Locked up.]

[It's open.]

The open door was not in the same direction as Li Zheng's destination. Li Zheng hesitated for a moment and did not choose to chase after it.

"The main objective of this trip back to the Matrix is ​​to find Miriel and lead the demons to the outer city. As for other matters..." Li Zheng turned his head and glanced at the three-headed ghost lions that were lying on the ground and sneaking back the way they came: "Let's not cause any trouble."

Li Zheng tossed out a few pieces of meat feed as payment for the three-headed demon lions serving as his mounts, and then walked toward the next door.

I swiped my card to open the door, and just as I was about to enter, I suddenly heard the miserable howl of three-headed demonic lions behind me.

It seemed to be suffering intense pain; its screams were chilling.

Li Zheng used his mental power to "see" and only saw the three-headed ghost lion rolling painfully on the ground. Its two heads on the left and right sides seemed to have suffered severe injuries and were limp and lifeless.

But Li Zheng didn't see anything attacking the three-headed ghost lion.

"To be able to become invisible under mental detection?!" Li Zheng was shocked. To be able to hide from his powerful mental detection, either the opponent's mental strength was even stronger than his, or the opponent possessed some kind of special concealment ability. "How dare you commit such a crime right under my nose!"

The golden core was released, blood patterns lit up, and the blood-red demon god reappeared behind Li Zheng.

The moment the demon god appeared, Li Zheng felt a surge of immense power coursing through his body, as if he were the god of this world, capable of ruling over everything.

He raised his right hand, and the demon god raised his right hand in sync, his palm radiating red light, which condensed into a blood-red javelin.

"Go!"

The javelin shot out and instantly appeared above the three-headed demon lion.

With a pop, the javelin exploded, transforming into countless fine needles that enveloped the three-headed demon lion.

Softly, softly.

The fine needles fell like raindrops, leaving the ground pitted and uneven.

Li Zheng himself arrived one after another, and the surrounding environment turned blood red under the influence of the demon god.

The three-headed demon lion had stopped struggling and was completely dead.

Li Zheng bent down to examine the body. The bodies were in the same state as the bats: their eyes were missing, and there were no external injuries.

No trace of other life forms was found in the surrounding attacked area, as if the death of the three-headed demon lion was caused by some intangible entity.

"Interesting." Li Zheng looked around. "Something that even Lao Pu and I couldn't detect is hiding from me while simultaneously killing the three ghost lions I brought to provoke me? Does it really think I can't do anything to it?"

Since he had been provoked, Li Zheng was naturally not the type to take a beating without fighting back.

If Old Pu can't find the other party with his mental abilities, then he'll use the most primitive methods to find that guy!

Li Zheng raised his hand and released more than twenty drones. These drones were made by the machining center in the capsule residence. Due to material limitations, they were not very strong and were easily detected and destroyed, so Li Zheng rarely took them out.

But now, these fragile little things have come in handy.

The drone was equipped with surveillance capabilities, but what Li Zheng wanted was not surveillance, but to force the entity lurking in the shadows to reveal itself.

He didn't believe that the other party could evade both mental detection and technological monitoring at the same time!
If the other party has nowhere to hide, they will definitely launch an attack on the drone.

With another wave of his hand, a tall, beautiful female android appeared beside Li Zheng.

This is Fukada Eimi, who originally created it out of curiosity and intended to modify it into a helper. Later, she went to the outer city and found that apart from the mechanical race that had ascended to mechanical flight, the strength of other technological products was generally not high... or rather, the real strong did not value external power, which led to a break in the development of technology.

Therefore, although Li Zheng could continue to upgrade Fukada Eimi, he didn't waste his time doing those things.

Eimi Fukada is still in the same state as when she was first created; she can only execute some simple commands, such as monitoring and issuing alarms immediately upon detecting abnormalities.

The drone is connected to Eimi Fukada's brain, and all images can be fed back to the processor in Eimi Fukada's brain in real time. When necessary, her eyes can become projectors to project the monitoring images in 3D.

Fukada Eimi's eyes gleamed, and in front of her was a display of all the night vision footage captured by drones.

As the drones adjusted their distribution, almost the entire area was now within the surveillance camera's field of view.

Just as the last corner was occupied, a dark shadow flashed in front of the drone, and then the screen flickered and went black.

"Oh, I found you!"

Li Zheng sneered, maintaining the demon god's shadow behind him, and lunged in that direction.
