Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 270 Cracked!

Swallows flying through the hall.

This is Li Zheng's best move since he started learning the Zhan family sword technique.

After Zhan Zhouzhou's guidance, this move has made great progress, and its power has increased significantly.

This sword technique may seem like a simple straight thrust, but it actually contains hidden secrets.

Li Zheng used to believe that as long as it was fast, accurate, and ruthless, he could fully unleash the power of this move.

But Zhan Zhouzhou taught it differently.

Straightforward moves are never too profound, nor are they included in sword manuals that have been revised over generations.

At this moment, Li Zheng's move, the Swallow Through the Hall, was less sharp and unstoppable than before, but more unpredictable.

It seems that no matter how the opponent blocks, this sword can break through the encirclement and strike straight at the heart of the enemy.

puff!
The earth dragon swung its massive tail, using it as a shield. The diamond-grade sheathed sword pierced through the scales on the tail's surface and penetrated deep into its flesh.

"Roar!"

The earth dragon was in pain, and its lack of agility made it difficult to turn around. It could only violently swing its huge tail, trying to lash out at Li Zheng.

"Wild geese follow the wind!"

Li Zheng's sword stance shifted, and his entire being seemed to merge with the sheathed sword in his hand, swaying in the air along with the tail of the earth dragon.

Snapped!
The giant tail lashed out at the tree trunk beside him. Li Zheng was struck by lightning and thrown away by the recoil, his sheathed sword also being pulled out.

"Damn it, I messed up!" Li Zheng was filled with regret as he activated the aircraft while still in mid-air.

This move, "Wild Goose Follows the Wind," has only just been mastered and not yet fully integrated. If it were Zhan Zhouzhou, she would never have been thrown off by the recoil.

ka ka ka-

boom!
The earth dragon's tail whip had knocked down the trees, sending up a lot of broken branches and leaves.

"Ouch!"

swoosh swish~
"Popoli!"

clap clap ~
Sakura and Pink Polly also joined the battle, their flying rock projectiles piercing through the still-fallen leaves and branches, raining down on the earth dragon, but with little effect.

Powder Poring, transformed into a muscular monster fist, unleashed a barrage of punches, striking the Earth Dragon's body with almost the same power as Rock Shot.

Li Zheng adjusted his posture: "Xiaoying, move aside."

At her command, Sakura stopped attacking and quickly retreated with Pink Poring, hovering in the air, looking for an opportunity.

Earth Piercing is Sakura's strongest ability right now, but it is perfectly countered by Earth Dragon. If she uses it rashly, she will only be wasting her Force.

The reason for using the weakest flying rock bullet is because it is more controllable. Aim at the earth dragon's eyes and other vital points, and even if it is difficult to break through its defenses, it can at least buy some time.

By this time, Li Zheng had finished adjusting. It was a better choice to step aside and wait for an opportunity to use the Earth Prism Piercing Technique.

Pink Poring defused the monster punch and transformed into a thin membrane to shield Sakura from the earth dragon's ranged attacks.

A few drops of the earth dragon's blood were flicked off the sheathed sword. Li Zheng increased the power of the aircraft, passed through the fallen leaves, and attacked the earth dragon again.

Taking advantage of the moment when Li Zheng was thrown away, the earth dragon finally turned around and faced Li Zheng.

Behind it, a bloody hole was pierced in its tail, from which blood was gushing out, wetting its scales and the ground.

Seeing Li Zheng rushing towards it, a look of solemnity flashed in the earth dragon's pale yellow eyes. The fact that the weapon could pierce its scales meant that the creature in front of it had the ability to kill it.

If we don't act more carefully, today might be its death day!

"roar~"

Li Zheng rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, already within arm's reach. The earth dragon roared, and its body flashed with a rich, pale yellow light.

A thick layer of rock armor covered the surface of the scales, further enhancing its defensive capabilities, but also making it more sluggish. Rock Armor Armor!

This ability can cover its body with a layer of highly defensive rock armor, but the heavy armor will also affect it, so it is generally not activated unless necessary.

After the earth dragon unleashed its final power, Li Zheng had a clear understanding of its true strength.

"Ice and Fire Attachment, Ice Element, Full Power Activation!"

The blue chill suddenly intensified, and the genetic force drained away rapidly like water being pumped out, causing the temperature around Li Zheng to drop further.

As the cold wave hits, the moisture in the air instantly freezes due to the low temperature, turning into fine ice crystals that fall to the ground.

A thin mist seemed to rise out of nowhere, and Li Zheng found himself in the center of the mist.

Ice crystals spread towards the earth dragon as Li Zheng flew, landing densely on its body and wetting the gaps in its rock armor.

Li Zheng did not attack immediately, but instead dodged the earth dragon's upward-pointing bite and flew around it several times.

The chill suddenly disappeared when the "mist" around them became so thin that it was no longer visible.

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Fire Element!"

In the blink of an eye, the world turned fiery red, flames soared into the sky, and the temperature rose from below zero to hundreds of degrees.

The fine ice droplets instantly turned back into water vapor, turning the surrounding area into a steamer, where the extremely high temperature baked everything dry and yellow.

As the water vapor rose, Li Zheng's figure completely disappeared from the earth dragon's sight.

The rainforest is covered with plants, and although the earthworm had just cleared a small clearing, the intense heat was still undeniable.

Several bushes that were close together had already been ignited by the high temperature, and the fire was gradually spreading, making a rattling sound.

But Li Zheng's purpose was not to set the mountain on fire; he was merely using the large amount of water vapor to conceal his tracks.

The noisy sound of the aircraft suddenly disappeared, and a moment of blankness appeared in the eyes of the earth dragon.

The next moment, the firelight disappeared, leaving only a fleeting glimpse of a sword in the mist.

呲!
A barely audible sound, like someone tearing a piece of cloth in the mist, or like someone finally letting out a long-suppressed fart.

Li Zheng's figure appeared in the mist, surrounded by pale blue cold air that extinguished the newly lit basic flames.

At this moment, he was no longer holding a weapon.

When the rising steam turned into ice crystals and fell again, the earth dragon lay motionless on the ground.

Deep inside the right eye socket, a long sword with a round hilt was stuck, while the intact left eye had lost its luster.

"This 'Birds Return to the Forest' move seems more like a hidden weapon technique, so why is it included in a sword manual?" Li Zheng shook his head calmly and slapped the earth dragon's physical form.

break down!

【分解地龙，获得：完好的地龙眼球+1、瑕疵的地龙晶核+1、新鲜的地龙肉+50、地龙精血500ml、地龙心脏+1、坚硬的地龙鳞片+200、柔韧的地龙皮+100、地龙骨骼+100】

"A flawed earth dragon crystal core?" Upon seeing this notification, Li Zheng quickly took out the item he had just obtained from the decomposition from the capsule and checked its attributes.

Flawed Earth Dragon Crystal Core
Grade: Diamond

Effect: When fed to pets, there is a slight chance that they will inherit one of the abilities of an earth dragon.

Old Pu: It was fine until someone stabbed it in the outside, and it... cracked!

"It's become a very low probability..." Li Zheng looked at the additional description given by Lao Pu and immediately understood why this earth dragon crystal core was flawed.

"Damn it!"

Li Zheng felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe after ruining such a perfectly good diamond-grade item.

However, after Li Zheng looked at the attributes of the other items, he realized he had been heartbroken for too long.
