Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 138 This plan is enough to put you in jail for life! (Second Update)

"hiss!"

brush brush...

A large amount of multicolored venom sprayed out from the venom sac, like a fountain, enveloping a three-meter radius around Li Chun and his servant.

The gold-grade five-colored venomous spider's venom is not only highly toxic but also extremely corrosive.

The venom rained down like drops of poison, and the weeds that were still alive just as they hit the ground began to sizzle and wither quickly.

The crimson vines mixed in with the poison immediately suffered, quickly retreating from the venom's coverage area while emitting blue smoke, in order to avoid the brunt of the attack.

However, even after leaving the area sprayed with venom, the vines did not fare well. The areas that came into contact with the venom were continuously corroded and riddled with holes.

Li Chun praised, "Little Spider is amazing!"

The colorful venomous spider was as happy as a sprinkler truck, spraying its venom everywhere as if it were free, creating plumes of blue smoke.

Ten seconds later... it's over.

Venom is all gone...

"Little Spider... let's retreat!" Li Chun patted her pet and then retreated into the protective circle formed by Xiao Siyuan and Yan Guang.

Gold-grade venom does work, but the daily production is very small. Even if you use it freely for just ten seconds, it still takes the results of two days' worth of accumulated venom.

Although Li Chun and his servant had almost lost their fighting ability, Xiao Zhu's exaggerated size made her inept at dealing with vines, and she had already retreated to the sidelines.

However, the venom sprayed out in those ten seconds still created a vacuum zone in that direction, and the crimson vines dared not cross the line and could only detour.

This reduced the pressure on the group somewhat, and Li Zheng ventured alone into the vine nest, frantically cutting grass, digging holes, and freezing them.

Before long, the scene gradually calmed down.

……

With the dust settled, Xiao Siyuan glanced at the exploration progress, which was only 25%, still a long way from clearing the level.

With this round of attacks over, his progress in acquiring dagger mastery has exceeded 99%, and with just a little more effort, he will be able to master the ability.

Well, although individual mastery abilities don't provide any bonus.

But this is, after all, an essential path to specialized abilities. Since the matrix has this setting, Xiao Siyuan felt that having it was better than not having it.

As the surroundings quieted down, Li Zheng didn't stop. He dug out all the roots from the holes in the ground.

"Little Spider, come help!"

Li Zheng summoned the Five-Colored Poisonous Spider and took all the roots he had dug up back home for others to decompose.

He glanced at the grove of trees some distance away.

"The exploration progress is only a quarter complete. That forest seems to be the only way to complete the game."

With her hands moving non-stop, the little spider dug out the roots of the vines that had been frozen into ice blocks, and carried them back under Li Chun's command.

Player Yan Guang disassembled MWD3 experimental subject and obtained: +1 Broken Gene.

Player Xiao Siyuan disassembled MWD3 experimental subject and obtained: 25ml of powerful anesthetic venom.

[Player Li Chun...]

The four of them were busy with the decomposition work, and all the blood-red vines could only be decomposed into these two items.

The anesthetic venom, needless to say, is only bronze-level, but its effect is decent. As long as a player's physique is not above iron, being injected with a little bit will quickly cause them to lose some control of their limbs.

The broken genes were much more interesting. When Xiao Siyuan and his team decomposed them to obtain this thing, they almost thought they were playing a grindy mobile game.

Fifty fragments can be combined to create a complete gene chain, which improves the quality of the pet, but only from Black to Bronze.

There is also a chance to randomly obtain a genetic ability, with the ability level most likely being Iron and less likely being Bronze.

After finishing, the group gathered together to take stock.

"A total of 58 test subjects were obtained this time, along with 45 gene fragments and 325ml of paralyzing venom. The value is completely disproportionate to the difficulty level; it's far too low!"

Yan Guang complained that due to the limitations of the environment in this instance, she was unable to fully utilize her strength, and felt extremely frustrated after the battle.

Xiao Siyuan glanced at Li Zheng's retreating figure as he walked into the woods and said, "The exploration is only a quarter complete, what's the rush? Judging from this progress, there might be two or three more battles to come, and the final reward should be quite substantial."

"I……"

Yan Guang tried to explain that he hadn't had enough of beating Feng Shan, but ended up kicking him in the butt: "It's all your fault!"

Feng Shan: "???" Yan Guang felt that if Feng Shan hadn't been ambushed at the beginning, causing the others to be tied up and unable to move freely, they wouldn't have been stuck in one place, passively taking hits, with only Li Zheng taking the initiative to attack.

Li Zheng charged into the inescapable net of vines, sending twigs flying everywhere, much to Yan Guang's envy.

She now has the illusion that her strength can no longer keep up with others, and her combat power is greatly reduced in certain situations.

Little did people know that when she first used miniature artillery shells to bombard a group in public, others were secretly envious of her.

How impressive! She single-handedly wiped out nearly half of the hundreds of mechanical mantises with just two rounds of cannon fire!
……

Li stopped at the edge of the woods and did not venture in rashly.

Even though Old Pu has now transformed from equipment into ability, he can still be suppressed in dungeons. Without Old Pu's information advantage, he wouldn't dare to recklessly risk his life in this unknown environment.

"The patterns on the surface of these trees are a bit strange."

After examining the trees closely for a moment, Li Zheng discovered that the trees that made up the forest had black bark and twisted patterns on their surface, making them look like a human face with its eyes closed.

"Tree spirit?"

Seeing no movement in the woods, Li Zheng remained calm and led the cheerleaders back.

Sakura, clutching her cheering stick, flapped her wings and followed behind Li Zheng.

Before they had taken more than a few steps, the little guy suddenly sensed something and turned around abruptly.

The wind was calm, and the woods remained deathly silent.

"Hey?"

It flicked its tail in confusion, then turned and followed Li Zheng.

I had a feeling that something was watching me from behind.

……

"So? Are there any monsters there?" Xiao Siyuan asked.

Li Zheng did not hide anything and explained what he had just discovered. He then suggested, "If the guess is true, I do have a way to deal with that forest without bloodshed."

Fengshan asked, "What method?"

He was now able to stand up, and as long as he didn't recklessly use his injured leg to unleash his power, he was able to engage in some low-intensity combat.

"Come here with your ears!"

Li Zheng beckoned the group over and whispered something to them.

After the discussion of the plan was completed, Li Chun hesitated, "Is this really a good idea?"

"What's wrong with it?"

Feng Shan waved his hand dismissively: "Anyway, we won't be coming back to this special room a second time after we clear it, so let's do it Li Zheng's way."

"Done!"

Xiao Siyuan considered the feasibility: "Luckily, this is a matrix game, not in our country."

Otherwise, with this plan, you could spend the rest of your life in jail.

Li Chun explained, "I'm not saying this plan is bad, I'm just worried that this way we won't be able to break down the materials."

"Eh?"

The group exchanged glances, then simultaneously realized, "Oh, right!"

Li Zheng thought for a moment, carefully read through the information the others had just broken down, and finally made the decision: "Less is fine. Anyway, we can't get anything good from this dungeon. Let's finish this quickly. There's still the underground world that Xiao Chun discovered later."

"At worst, I'll just consider it winning two prizes."

Fengshan was now in a dilemma: "You may look down on such a small amount of profit, but that gene chain is quite useful to me. My Pipi is still just an ordinary animal, so I can use it to improve it."

Li Zheng then realized: "I've been wanting to ask this for a while, where did your butt go?"

Feng Shan savored the thought: "I must have been out of my mind back then, how could I have given it such a lousy name!"

Because Little Butt was too weak, Fengshan left him in the previous room and didn't bring him over.

Anyway, once he's finished exploring this place, he can go straight back there without worrying about his pet getting lost.
