Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 231 Oh no! The place the big boss went to has been blown up!
"What kind of... never mind, I've already seen it." His friend wanted to ask for more details, but the dark cloud had already come quite close, and with their abilities, they could easily observe the wasps.

The swarming wasps were each the size of a tomato, made entirely of metal, and unlike live wasps, they had only a tiny black hole in their stinger.

Mechanical Killer Bee

Countless metallic compound eyes emitted a cold, eerie luster, devoid of any emotion.

The densely packed formations flying in the air blotted out the sun. Before the battle even officially began, Wang Chaoran and the others felt their scalps tingle and goosebumps rise on their backs.

Zhang Yue tightened her grip on the single-edged sword, her face filled with despair: "So many... how can we fight them?"

Liu Li took out her revolver, aimed it, then put it down listlessly, shaking her head slightly: "Those wasps are strange. They seem to be able to calculate the trajectory of the bullet I'm aiming at and dodge in advance!"

She saw it clearly when she was aiming: the mechanical killer bees seemed to have a single consciousness, and all the killer bees in front of her aiming trajectory took evasive action at the same time when she aimed.

Even if they bump into their companions, they will avoid Liu Li's aim.

In this situation, unless your weapon is an automatic rifle, it won't be of much use.

"Don't panic, I have a powerful weapon here that should be able to wipe out some of the killer bees." Wang Chaoran took out a thick metal can from his residence, his face grim.

Flame Thrower
Rank: Silver

Type: Disposable prop

Description: Consumes a large amount of energy, which is converted into high-temperature flames that can melt metal and cut iron.

Cannot be charged.

This is the most lethal weapon Wang Chaoran can muster, and it's a one-time use item; once it's used, it's gone.

However, his bad complexion wasn't because he was reluctant to part with it, but because he was annoyed that he hadn't lived up to his potential.

Although Boss Li Zheng promised to help them clear the level and even left his pet to help defend and protect them.

But can I really accept it with a clear conscience?
We've already finished the Desert Scorpion battle in the previous round. Does that mean we'll have to rely on the powerful players' pets for protection in the second round?

Even though the four of them had received so much help from the big shots, how could they not even beat the second wave of monsters in the dungeon?
If the four of them couldn't even survive the second round of mobs, then what level of monsters would a lone expert facing when challenging the BOSS be facing?

The boss has already taken on the most dangerous task, yet we can't even handle this little monster?
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Wang Chaoran knew that he would have to rely on Xiaoying to get through the second wave of attacks by these mechanical killer bees.

But before that, I have to give it my all!
It's just a silver-level item, isn't it?

I'll just use it!

Gritting his teeth, Wang Chaoran slung the flamethrower over his shoulder, aiming it at the swarm of mechanical killer bees that had entered within a hundred meters, ready to fire at any moment.

"Closer, closer, maybe we can kill a few more." Wang Chaoran pressed on the metal can, and a crosshair tool popped out from the side, locking onto the area with the densest concentration of mechanical killer bees, and muttered to himself.

"That's about it, that's about it, just a little closer..."

Seeing the swarm of mechanical killer bees approaching within fifty meters, Wang Chaoran seemed to be possessed, and his palms even started to sweat.

He didn't know what he was nervous about.

Even though the boss's pet was hovering above his head, he still couldn't help but feel fear when faced with the overwhelming swarm of mechanical killer bees.

Just as the mechanical killer bees entered within twenty meters of the firing range, Wang Chaoran, who was preparing to fire, suddenly froze.

The world before my eyes suddenly turned pink, as if a jelly filter had been applied.

"This is... the pink balloon that's always hanging on the boss's pet?"

As Sakura's figure appeared on the other side of the "filter," Wang Chaoran confirmed that the protective film that suddenly appeared was indeed the balloon that had been hanging on Sakura's leg.

"Popoli!"

Pink Poring stretched out its body as much as it could, transforming into a giant bowl shape, which was placed on top of Wang Chaoran and the others, with a smiling face protruding in the middle, cheering on Sakura.

"Awoo~" Sakura flicked her thick tail, suddenly flapped her wings, and charged into the swarm of mechanical killer bees.

It seemed to be surrounded by an invisible and colorless cutting blade. Wherever it went, the mechanical killer bees exploded out of thin air, creating a series of sparks and flashes.

Crackling and popping. It was like a dazzling fireworks display in the sky, and all Sakura did was chase after those fireworks, freely weaving through the swarm of mechanical killer bees.

Wherever it flies, fireworks explode there.

"So powerful!" Wang Chaoran and the others stared in disbelief, unaware of the mechanical killer bee's rank.

Sakura simply moved around casually among them, without even making any attacking moves, and the enemy was instantly blown into a ball of fire.

They couldn't understand this scene at first glance.

What kind of disparity in strength must exist between the two sides for such a scene to occur?
Wang Chaoran even had a thought: Could these killer bees not be as strong as he imagined?

Perhaps, even without the protection of a powerful pet, the four of them could handle it on their own?

The mechanical killer bees, of course, are not being slaughtered unilaterally; they are also fighting back fiercely.

Countless killer bees raised their round, metallic abdomens high, aiming their tail holes at Sakura and the shield of Pink Poring below, and shot out fine needles.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The fine needles were fired continuously, and a shower of needles fell from the sky.

However, Sakura was unfazed by this level of attack; 70% of the needles were pulverized before they even got close to her.

The rest either dodged it or were blocked and bounced away by its thick tail.

Some of them bypassed Sakura and shot towards the protective barrier that Pink Polli had become.

Pupu~

Two thin needles pierced Pink Polly's body and disappeared into the yellow sand below.

"Polly?" Pink Polly looked slightly confused, not understanding how he had been pierced again.

But it doesn't matter. This won't cause it much harm at all; at most, it will just feel a little uncomfortable.

shhhhhh...

The mechanical killer bees were dwindling in number, but the frequency of their needle-firing was increasing. Pink Polly, unable to bear it any longer, had no choice but to take a deep breath.

The next second, a metallic sheen appeared on Pink Poli's body surface. Its originally soft, jelly-like body now seemed to have become solid steel crystal, giving it a very textured feel.

It seemed that even the density had changed; the fine needles could no longer penetrate its body and were all bounced away.

Wang Chaoran stared at the killer bees that were firing their needles like machine guns, breaking out in a cold sweat: "Is it really that terrifying?"

I was really stupid just now, actually thinking that I and a few others could handle these killer bees.

Now that I think about it...

Ah.

It's all an illusion.

If the four of them were to resist this attack, they would likely be obliterated in a single exchange by the frequency of the needle-like fire.

As Sakura charged back and forth, the number of mechanical killer bees dwindled, and the number of needles fired became sparse.

"It's over?!" Wang Chaoran exclaimed incredulously, yet it also seemed perfectly natural.

How could a pet raised by a master be anything less than excellent?

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly came from afar.

Like thunder in the sky, flames soared into the heavens.

Wang Chaoran looked in that direction and was immediately alarmed: "Damn it, that's where the big shot went!"
