Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 683 - 498: Ten Thousand-Character Update (Making Up for Yesterday’s)

Calculating the timing, Li Zheng entered the tropical rainforest. His first glance was not of towering trees nor low shrubs, but of thousands of people entangled with a large swarm of countless limb-bearing little creatures.

Occasionally, roots as thick as water barrels burst from the ground, entwining a player and squeezing them until they exploded.

After observing for a few seconds, using the information from Prelis' Eye, Li Zheng roughly deduced the cause and effect — could it be that this was the "tree offspring" from that central hundred-meter tall tree?

These "tree offspring" aren't strong individually, at most at the level of a new entrant to platinum. Compared with the average strength of the members of several legions united by Liu Jiale, one-on-one, they can easily crush these "tree offspring".

However, their numbers were truly staggering!

So numerous that they were countless, killing them seemed endless!

Some quick-minded players took out flamethrowers and other gear to cope, which initially was very effective, repelling several life-risking charges from the "tree offspring".

Unfortunately, the real Boss wasn't a pushover. The roots buried underground appeared unpredictably, precisely destroying a large number of flamethrowers, snuffing out these devastating weapons.

Then someone attempted to use fire ability to ignite the entire tropical rainforest, planning to perish with the Boss.

However, being plants, these tree offspring themselves contained a lot of moisture.

Whenever a part of the tropical rainforest caught fire, they would charge forward recklessly, using their bodies to extinguish the flames.

This tug-of-war persisted until Liu Jiale brought reinforcements to the battlefield, altering the situation.

Liu Jiale, standing at the forefront of the Penglai Legion, charged with a blade, frantically slaughtering those "tree offspring", killing them instantly, destroying them on contact.

Even when the tree spirit Boss attempted a sneak attack with its roots, it was met with relentless force, and he managed to cut three roots.

But his momentum visibly waned. It wouldn't be long before he exhausted his strength and became a liability.

The Penglai members following him were indeed of much higher quality than members of other legions.

They maintained a proper pace in and out of combat, handled it well, and had the lowest casualty rate on the field.

One could say that what makes a master is their ability to perform cohesion even under such circumstances.

"Alright~ we can see that Big Brother Li Zheng has arrived on the scene!" Zhou Shufen's distinctive voice resonated passionately, "As everyone knows, Big Brother Li Zheng has killed two Bosses instantly, so we're wondering how long this Boss will last against him. Let's keep watching~"

"Although the allied legions haven't been able to swiftly clear out the tree offspring, their fearless obstruction has indeed created a clearing at the back, barely providing Big Brother Li Zheng with a relatively safe environment for output. Now let's see what Big Brother Li Zheng will do…"

"First, after entering the scene, Big Brother Li Zheng quickly assessed the situation and it is clear that the scenario isn't favorable—no one is dealing with the tree spirit Boss, and those few legion members are all occupied with the tree offspring."

"But it doesn't matter, it seems that Big Brother Li Zheng has already made a judgment; he's eyeing the tree spirit Boss, perhaps thinking about the best angle for his strike."

Under the crowd's gaze, Li Zheng finally drew that exaggeratedly shaped, oddly auraed Demon Blade.

At this moment, everyone focused on him seemed to breathe more quietly, fearing that the slightest inhalation might disturb him through the screen.

"Even though the scene differs somewhat from what I expected, the environment is still safe enough." Li Zheng stared at the ground, knowing that beneath lay at least hundreds of interwoven roots heading in his direction.

At the moment he entered, the tree spirit already sensed his threat and thus gave him extra attention.

"Let's start with one slash!"

Li Zheng leapt high, wielding the blade with both hands, and pulled himself into an arched stance.

After a brief moment of gathering energy, he moved with the speed of lightning, flinging the Demon Blade forward.

Bang!

A huge faint red blade shadow formed on the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, deeply cutting into the ground, sending dead branches and leaves flying as a barrier.

The roots traveling underground disintegrated segment by segment, the distant tree spirit Boss cried out in pain, and the huge canopy shivered violently.

"Hmph…"

After the slash, Li Zheng staggered slightly, his face as pale as gold paper, devoid of any color.

'Your appetite is growing,' he sent a thought to the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, which since its transformation had seemingly held onto Li Zheng, absorbing his blood qi more heedlessly after using the "Heaven and Earth Slash" twice.

'The blade can't help it; triggering attacks this way naturally consumes vast energy.' The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade seemed to protest meekly.

'Is that so?'

With a slight flick of his wrist, Li Zheng released a pile of nearly a thousand different bloods in front of him, thrusting the blade into them: 'Will this substitute?'

'...'

The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade shivered slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse, but quickly changed its tone: 'It can, but the blood is of too low a tier, so the energy it can provide is relatively…'

'No unnecessary talk!' Li Zheng coldly interrupted, 'Don't think I'm unaware of your thoughts. Even if most of this blood is low tier like Black Iron, the quantity amassed provides far more blood qi than my own.'

Indeed, he was discovered!

The Demon Blade Thirsty Blood sighed lightly. This master was too cautious; even when it showed utmost obedience, he still doubted it!
