Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"It's you!?"

Li Zheng recognized the black shadow that could be invisible under mental detection and was surprised. It was the eyeball he had encountered when exploring the matrix!

Just like when I first saw it, the appearance of its eyeballs had not changed much. It used several optic nerves as feet, running and moving around on the ground with great agility.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Evil Eye immediately leaped up and charged straight at Li's face.

The optic nerve flipped forward, seemingly targeting Li Zheng's eyes, intending to gouge them out.

Once it gouges out one of your eyeballs, it can occupy the eye socket, penetrate the optic nerve deep into the brain, and connect with the nerves inside the brain, thereby gaining control of your body!

Although Li Zheng did not know the methods of the Evil Eye, he instinctively realized that the eyeball was extremely evil. He used the Black Dragon Spear to strike the Evil Eye, sending it flying backward.

The next instant, the evil eye, which was flying backwards in the air, twisted strangely a few times and disappeared from Li Zheng's sight!

"Invisible?"

Li Zheng asked Fukada Yui, who was in the distance, "Report!"

Fukada Yui's emotionless voice came through: "No abnormalities."

Even drones can't capture it anymore?
Li Zheng's heart stirred. Most methods of invisibility are actually achieved by altering the refraction and reflection of light within a certain range. This method can deceive the eyes of most races and some low-tech devices, but it can never hide from mental scanning.

The mental energy spread rapidly, instantly enveloping the entire space again, leaving no blind spots.

"If the stealth ability is perfect, it's impossible not to do it this way in the first place. So, as long as the stealth ability is changed even once, it will definitely leave a loophole!"

Sure enough, the movement of the eyeball escaping was captured under the coverage of mental energy.

"Trying to run now?"

late!

Due to his unique nature, Li Zheng had never practiced using mental power to fight enemies; otherwise, with his unparalleled mental power, he would have been able to easily kill many targets.

However, his own speed was not bad either. His long-term training at the Gravity Research Institute had not been in vain. In a few quick movements, Li Zheng caught up with the eyeball and swung the Black Dragon Spear accurately.

Snapped!
The evil eye opened its optic nerve and wrapped itself around the surface of the black dragon spear, quickly crawling towards Li Zheng and once again trying to burrow into Li Zheng's eye socket.

How could Li Zheng let it have its way?

He mobilized the demonic energy within his body, instantly covering the surface of the Black Dragon Spear. The violent demonic energy became even more ferocious after leaving his body. The impact of the demonic energy alone was enough to strike Evil Eye as if he had been struck by lightning, forcing him to release the Black Dragon Spear and fly to the side.

"What a nimble little thing." Li Zheng frowned slightly. This eyeball didn't seem particularly powerful to him, but it was more troublesome to deal with than he had imagined.

An ordinary life form with such strength would probably have been torn to pieces and killed long ago if it had been hit twice by him.

Despite suffering two heavy blows to his eyeball, he remained perfectly healthy and energetic.

"So strong! He's so strong!"

Evil Eye was terrified. "Why did I run into him so soon after smuggling myself back into the Matrix?!"

That wretched Drunkard Xiao! If he hadn't been following me and forcing me into a corner where I had no choice but to return to the matrix to hide, how would I have run into Li Zheng beforehand?
He had originally wanted to test his skills and see if Li Zheng was worthy of what the prophecy said, but now it seemed that his attempt to test him had led to his imminent demise!

Run away.

Let's wait until the time is right.

Evil Eye no longer had any intention of testing Li Zheng. He identified a door and darted towards it at lightning speed.

However, the whooshing sound and terrifying pressure coming from behind made Evil Eye feel a tremor deep in his soul.

To die!

If I don't find a way to escape, I'm really going to die here!
"Li Zheng, I..." *kiss*
Evil Eye was about to speak when he heard a sound like a bubble bursting as his eyeball was pierced by the Black Dragon Spear and embedded in the ground.

"What was that sound?" Li Zheng walked over from a distance, frowning and muttering, "I think I just heard someone call my name?"

With such strong mental power, surely I wouldn't be hallucinating?

Can eyeballs talk?
Zheng.

Li Zheng drew the Black Dragon Spear and stared silently at the eyeball at the spear tip, which resembled rotten flesh.

Even if the eyeballs could really speak, it's useless now; they're completely dead.

[A low-level evil entity has been detected (already dead). Submitting it will earn you 100 Mystic Points.]

The system voice sounded, bringing Li Zheng some comfort.

Not bad. Although it took a little effort, I still gained at least 100 fantasy points, so it's not a loss.

Submit the dead eyeball and rotten flesh to the system, and one hundred fantasy points will be credited to your account.

Fantasy Points are a valuable resource, but so far there haven't been many ways to obtain them, and the few times I've acquired them, they've been from some strange and unusual life forms.

"Does it feel like the system is deliberately collecting these things?" Li Zheng's heart stirred: "The system can extract things from fantasy worlds for me, so let's broaden our thinking: Is there someone in another world who possesses a system and is using it to extract resources from my world?"

Isn't this just being a middleman?

However, I haven't provided much, so it shouldn't be that bad.

But it's a bit strange that this evil thing recognizes me and even knows my name.

Li Zheng frowned and recalled that when he first saw the eyeball in the cemetery, its life form was quite peculiar, so it left a deep impression on him.

The way the eyeball behaved back then was completely different from what I saw today. Back then, the eyeball was as timid as a stray dog, wishing it could hide in a corner and be invisible, let alone attack itself.

Moreover, Li Zheng was still very weak back then, yet he could still frighten Yanqiu like that. Now, he is many times stronger than he was then, and Yanqiu dares to attack him instead?

"Either this is not the eyeball I encountered back then, or something has happened to the eyeball since then."

Li Zheng pondered for a moment, but without any clue, he simply gave up: "Anyway, I've already killed them, so what does it matter what happened? What does it have to do with me?"

They retrieved the drone and Eimi Fukada, then left through the chosen gate.

No sooner had Li Zheng left than Zui Xie Xiao arrived through another door. After sensing the area briefly, he exclaimed in surprise, "Such a powerful energy fluctuation! Even the slightest trace of energy left after the battle makes my heart tremble?!"

After circling around and seeing the dead bodies of the three-headed ghost lion and the terror bat, Zui Xie Xiao was certain that he had been chasing in the right direction.

"The Evil Eye has been here, but..."

He looked down at the bloody hole in the ground, the mangled flesh inside clearly belonging to the Evil Eye, the target he had been chasing for so long: "Who on earth could inflict such a severe injury on the Evil Eye?"

Evil Eye's attack methods are very limited, but his escape methods are extremely superb. Drunken Evil Xiao chased after him for many days, but each time he was outmaneuvered by his opponent's superb escape skills.

This guy, who's so good at escaping, actually suffered a serious injury in the Matrix?
"Could it be Li Zheng?"

He gestured to the blood hole on the ground, then took out the Black Dragon Spear to compare, and found that the marks matched.

There are only two Black Dragon Spears in the world, one in his possession and the other in Li Zheng's hands.

"But Evil Eye and Li Zheng have no grudge against each other, so why did they fight?"

Moreover, no corpse of the Evil Eye was found nearby, suggesting that he escaped after suffering severe injuries.
Or was he killed by Li Zheng and his body was taken away with him?
Or perhaps Li Zheng underestimated his opponent, and the Evil Eye, risking severe injury, launched a counterattack and burrowed into Li Zheng's eye socket?
If it's the last scenario, then that would be terrible!
Zui Xie Xiao quickly checked and found that in addition to the door he had come through, there were three other doors open.

He could only randomly choose one of the doors to chase after. (End of Chapter)
