Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 141 Burning Abyss Bloodline! (First update today)
A raging fire engulfed the forest, and the tree spirits, scorched by the flames, roared in defiance before being consumed by the fire and reduced to charred, burning charcoal.

They were unable to move, the fire was spreading, and they had nowhere to hide.

The dense branches whipped wildly at their burning companions, but it was like a drop in the ocean, having no effect whatsoever.

The fire released extremely high temperatures, which Fengshan and the others could clearly feel even from more than 20 meters away, and even felt their whole bodies burning.

On the other side, the boulder that Li Zheng had just used as a stool was shaking and gradually rising from the ground.

"It really is... underground?"

Li Zheng was speechless. Preys' Eye was suppressed by the system terminal, but when observing targets at close range, the matrix system could actually provide the basic monster names.

However, the group had walked around the stones several times, but no one had seen their names and simply regarded them as ordinary stones.

"Yan Guang, is the missile ready to cool down? Give it a righteous barrage!"

Li Zheng decisively ordered that, before the BOSS fully revealed itself, they should give it a warning first.

“Three seconds!”

Yan Guang stepped out from the crowd, walked to the front, and raised his left arm.

Three seconds later, two rounds of miniature missiles were launched, covering the area where the boulders were located, indiscriminately bombarding it.

Boom boom boom!
Two rounds of miniature missiles successfully shattered several boulders into fragments, and a layer of nearby weeds was also blown away. The ground was pitted and uneven, and small fires broke out in some places, but they were quickly extinguished by the muddy water gushing from the ground.

"Is the boss really that bad?"

Seeing the boulder shattered before his eyes, Li Zheng sensed something was wrong. Then, looking at the murky sewage overflowing from the ground, he immediately understood.

"It was actually deeper underground!"

The thought had barely formed when the muddy ground suddenly rose high, the soil turned up and fell away, revealing the monster beneath.

A cone-shaped shell, ten meters in diameter, with murky sewage washing away the remaining mud on its surface, revealing a cool metallic luster.

Beneath the carapace, two black crystalline eyes, each the size of a millstone, protrude high. In the center of each eye, near the inner area, small bubbles formed from water droplets roll and burst.

"This is……"

Li Zheng saw the monster clearly, and the system gave him the BOSS name.

[MWD Experiment No. 666: Rock-shelled hermit crab.]

"Rock shell? Are your rocks made of metal?!"

Li Zheng decisively drew his weapons and dual-wielded them. Before the BOSS could even complete its entrance animation, he charged forward, showing no regard for martial ethics whatsoever.

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Dual System!"

With a flick of the wrist, ice on the left and fire on the right, two different colors appeared out of thin air.

"take off!"

The aircraft behind him emitted a jet of air, pulling him into the air and rapidly approaching the BOSS's location.

Just then, the hermit crab completed its final entrance—pulling out two giant pincers, eight meters long and three meters wide, from the ground.

"Those two crab claws are so big, there must be so much meat inside!"

Li Zheng didn't have a chance to find out how much meat there was yet, but he experienced firsthand how much strength it had.

Swipe!

He flew at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was within three meters of the hermit crab, his twin swords already raised.

But all I saw were two crab claws that looked like two oversized door panels, swinging over like a slap.

The large crab claws swung, breaking through wind resistance and compressing the air, creating a strong gust of wind that made Li Zheng's clothes flutter loudly.

Ding Ding!

Two platinum-grade weapons pierced through the crab's shell and slashed into it. Li Zheng felt immense resistance, his hands jolted back, and he lost his grip, flying backward at an even faster speed.

"grass!"

While in mid-air, Li Zheng quickly adjusted the aircraft, barely stabilizing his position, and then rose again to avoid the branches that were tangling around his feet.

Yes, with this impact, he was slammed directly into the trees.

If it weren't for the passive effect of "immunity to heat and cold," he would have suffered severe burns.

"What are you standing there for? Let's get to it!"

Seeing that everyone was still in a daze, Li Zheng shouted angrily.

Old Xiao and his men then seemed to snap out of their daze and raised their weapons to begin firing.

However, the silver-tier M4 and two gold-tier "salted fish" guns posed little threat to the hermit crab. The hermit crab could simply use its two claws to shield itself, negating all damage. Rat-a-tat-tat...

ding ding ding~
Sparks flew across the surface of the crab claws, and the energy blast hit them like mud sinking into the sea, without even making a ripple.

"Damn it, this BOSS's defense is definitely close to diamond level. Even gold-level weapons have a hard time damaging it!"

Li Zheng's face was grim.

This time, we've met our match.

"We need to find its weakness, just like the mechanical giant's core and the android 7's brain. This hermit crab must also have some fatal weakness."

Li Zheng urged the aircraft to circle in the air and approach from the side.

"It's a pity that Old Pu is suppressed here, otherwise it could directly analyze the weakness, without even needing to analyze it."

Li Zheng circled the hermit crab and discovered that the BOSS was completely hidden under its metallic shell, with no opening whatsoever.

"Perfect? ​​Absolutely impossible!"

Undeterred, Li Zheng moved closer to investigate, which attracted the attention of the hermit crab, which then swung one of its claws at him.

"Wow, so cautious?"

Li Zheng was terrified and urged the aircraft behind him to fly backward, escaping far away.

"If Zhan Zhouzhou were here, that would be great."

Li Zheng suddenly missed the girl who shaved her head. If she were here, with her agile skills, it would be much easier for her to dodge and approach the hermit crab's attacks and find its weakness.

On the other side, Fengshan held a salted fish gun in his hand, and after continuous attacks, he could only leave shallow marks on the hermit crab's giant claws.

"No, its defense is too strong, and firearms are barely effective."

If we unleash our full power…

In the blink of an eye, he had already come up with a plan and decided to take a gamble.

"Crazy woman, don't just stand there, here's a gun for you."

Feng Shan tossed the salted fish to Yan Guang, who was waiting for the missile to cool down, then took out his gold-grade fist blade, put it on, and swung it with a powerful swing.

Zheng!
Eight sharp blades protruded, gleaming coldly.

After completing the Lion King's Ambition and the Ancient Ruins dungeon, Li Zheng took out the blueprints to compensate Fengshan.

In the past two days, Fengshan finally managed to exchange enough materials to make a pocket watch.

"Burst - Fivefold Amplification!"

Power flowed beneath his feet, and Fengshan left afterimages, charging towards the hermit crab like a raging lion.

Li Zheng urged the aircraft to follow, ready to provide support at any time.

The hermit crab raises its massive claws to block damage from various ranged weapons, but this also obstructs its own vision.

Only after Fengshan had already rushed in front of it did it belatedly realize what was happening, and it split off a giant claw to strike Fengshan.

Li Zheng could see clearly that the giant claw the hermit crab used to slap Fengshan was the intact one.

"good chance!"

His eyes flickered, and he stepped forward, seizing the opportunity to pull out two weapons amidst the hail of bullets.

Fortunately, his three teammates behind him were fairly good shooters, and they deliberately avoided him as he approached.

Otherwise... he might receive a barrage of blows from his teammates.

On the ground, Feng Shan faced the giant tortoise that was slapping him, his expression unchanged, but his eyes revealed a unique arrogance.

"You weakling, let me show you real power!"

Feng Shan roared and activated both abilities simultaneously.

"Explosive Power - Tenfold Amplification - Overclocking Output!"

"Burning Abyss Bloodline!"

The next second, an aura as if from the depths of hell rose from Feng Shan's body, and two points of phosphorescence lit up in his arrogant eyes!

It's a bit late for the first chapter today, I'll continue writing.
