Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 486 Slaying the Endless Ocean Boss!

"Brothers, I don't know why, but watching them rush to their deaths one after another makes my heart ache."

"Putting myself in their shoes, if I were facing such a powerless super wave, I wouldn't even have the courage to fight back."

"It's terrifying! It's absolutely terrifying! I never imagined that someone could face death with such composure."

"Although they won't actually die during the event, we can empathize with the horrific way they look when they receive a fatal blow."

"Unbelievable! Is this what the people of the Dragon Kingdom call unity?"

"Damn, even someone like me who isn't very empathetic feels uncomfortable watching this!"

"Besides Li Zheng, is there really anyone who can kill these bosses? If Li Zheng isn't involved, what will become of this event?"

"Gentlemen," Bai Xiaosheng said solemnly as he looked at the beams of white light rising in the live stream, "Although this is just an event where no one will actually die, I firmly believe that if one day they are required to make a real sacrifice, these warriors will also go to their deaths without hesitation."

"pay tribute!"

In the close-up shot, Bai Xiaosheng's eyes are moist, his right hand is straight at eyebrow level, and his body is standing ramrod straight.

At this moment, there was no trace of his usual playful and carefree demeanor during his live streams; all that remained was solemnity.

"pay tribute!"

"pay tribute!"

……

One after another, the barrage of comments floated by, until it filled the entire live stream screen, expressing the shock and respect in the hearts of every viewer.

"I'm so envious..."

Cao Cao watched Bai Xiaosheng's live stream and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

There was a time when he was willing to give his life for his beliefs, for his country, and for his people.

Until that day, his country sent them to the battlefield on trumped-up charges to try a country that had suffered annihilation because of its rich oil resources.

When he received orders to fire the first bullet at unarmed civilians in a small town, all his beliefs were shattered.

It turns out that the army was not the shield he had imagined, to protect what needed to be protected.

It's a butcher's knife!

A butcher's knife stained with the blood of innocent civilians!

The smell of that butcher's knife made him feel nauseous just thinking about it.

He had assumed that all armies in the world were the same, except that some were just being blatant about it.

All that remains are those who haven't had the chance to perform.

Essentially, they are all bloody butcher knives that are despised by everyone.

However, today, the people of Kunlun and Jiutian have proven with their actions that there is still a shield in this world.

Although it wasn't very sturdy, at least it never struck the necks of ordinary people.

"This is what I wanted..."

As Cao Cao watched the screen filled with messages of respect, he felt a surge of passion welling up inside him, and his emotions gradually became agitated.

"This is exactly what I wanted!!!"

Do not!
"This... is what I should be doing!"

……

"Look! Li Zheng has made his move!"

An inappropriate comment appeared in the live stream chat, and viewers immediately activated their mute function, holding their breath in tension.

No one questioned whether Li Zheng could successfully defeat the Boss.

However, after witnessing the Boss's true strength, no one doubted that even if Li Zheng were to take a single attack, he would die on the spot.

As long as the Boss is alive, the battle is not over.

"Go for it, Li Zheng! The stage is all set up for you, give us a spectacular performance!"

"Don't let the suffering of those soldiers be in vain!"

Bai Xiaosheng's left palm was suddenly covered in sweat.

He is afraid.

He feared that Li Zheng might underestimate his opponent.

He was afraid that Li Zheng might be careless.

He was afraid that Li Zheng would make a mistake.

He was also afraid that Li Zheng might miss that fleeting opportunity.

Fortunately, what he saw next relieved him.

Li Zheng, wielding a long sword with black and red markings that glowed with an eerie, blood-red light, flew swiftly to the front lines of the battlefield, facing the enormous humpback whale.

"sky!"

The long sword was raised high, and the tentacle-like patterns on the surface of the blade shone with a bloody light, like a blood-red setting sun, exuding a brutal aura that terrified everyone.

"What is that?" Some of the soldiers who were nearby were momentarily disoriented, and a trembling feeling called fear spread from the depths of their souls.

From the moment he received the order, he was never afraid of what was called death.

But at this moment, upon seeing that blood-stained blade, he felt a sudden urge to back down!
"land!"

The crimson setting sun suddenly swelled, extending countless thick, tentacle-like rays that meandered and coiled upwards into the sky, eventually coalescing into an enormous, almost sky-covering, blood-red scalpel.

The wind stopped.

The waves have subsided.

The sound fell silent.

Even the swirling clouds in the sky were scattered by an invisible force at this moment.

At that moment, all that remained in people's eyes was the knife.

A bloody knife.

A demonic blade that thirsts for death and blood!

"One knife!"

Whether it was an illusion or not, two voices appeared in everyone's mind.

One of them belongs to Li Zheng.

One, as innocent as a child.

Li Zheng raised the Heaven-Slaying Blade high, his body suddenly growing taller, his black dragon armor stretched taut by his bulging muscles.

A cold metallic luster shone through the gap at the waist of the earth dragon armor.

The wind began to blow.

From a gentle breeze to a raging hurricane.

The storm swept across the blade.

It seemed to be resisting the power of that blade.

And yet, it seemed as if they were cheering and celebrating the birth of that single strike.

"Whoo~"

Flames were born as the storm swept through, and the raging fire turned the sky crimson.

"cut!"

"cut!"

This time, everyone heard it clearly; there were indeed two voices.

With that 'slash', the flaming giant blade slowly fell, seemingly slow but actually fast, leaving an unforgettable flash of light in people's eyes.

Faced with Li Zheng's all-out attack, the humpback whale dared not be careless and retaliated in its own way.

The tail of the sword, capable of easily destroying a tall building, slammed into the sea, creating a wave tens of meters high that surged towards the blade.

Li Zheng was fearless. After transforming into a superhuman, his eyes were wide open like copper bells, and his hand holding the knife did not tremble in the slightest.

"break!"

The unparalleled blade of light successfully struck down the giant wave before it arrived, and the sea receded where the blade touched.

This strike actually cleaved the Unstable Water in two, splitting it into two parts centered on Li Zheng, and then striking the warriors behind him.

"resistance!!!"

Behind them, the middle-aged commander snapped back to reality and roared into the communication device.

At this moment, their task was no longer to buy time for Li Zheng, but to save their lives as much as possible.

"One more strike!" Li Zheng shouted in his heart, transmitting his thoughts to the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade.

'But...' 'No buts!' Li Zheng's gaze was firm as he looked through the broken waves at the humpback whale sinking into the sea.

'All right. ’

Helpless, the demonic blade had no choice but to reignite its dying light, and the crimson glow abnormally connected to Li Zheng's wrist.

Judging from the gushing blood-red light, this strike was actually drawing Li Zheng's life force out of him!
His face turned pale at a visible speed, as if his blood and energy had been depleted in the blink of an eye.

"die!"

With a slight flap of his wings, Lei Yi instantly appeared above the humpback whale. Li Zheng coldly stared at the humpback whale, which was showing signs of retreat, and mercilessly slashed horizontally with his sword!

Ku! ~
boom!
The seawater was cleaved by the blade's light, revealing a clear view of the chaotic seabed, as if a chasm had appeared in the ocean.

The chasm cuts through the humpback whale, slicing it in two.

"Woo~"

The humpback whale let out a mournful cry, its massive tail struggling weakly to lift itself, but ultimately it was all in vain.

"Win...win?"

Viewers watching the live stream stared intently at the screen. After Li Zheng unleashed his second strike, he stopped and hovered in mid-air like a statue.

Rumble~
As seawater surged back down, a different hue appeared on the dark blue sea surface.

As the waves surged, the color spread rapidly, turning large areas of the sea into a dark purple hue.

"Won!"

"The boss is dead!"

"Li Zheng is awesome!"

"OHHHHHHHHH!"

"That's amazing! Absolutely amazing! How did he manage to cleave the ocean with that kind of technique?"

"Is this the true strength of the number one fighter in the entire matrix?"

"It's really scary!"

"After seeing those two cuts, I was so excited that I jumped up from the ground and did a hundred push-ups!"

"Huh? What happened? Why did the screen switch away?"

"Let's look at Li Zheng! What's the anchor doing?"

"Did you see this tip? If you don't switch the screen back, I'd rather throw this away and feed it to the dogs than give it to you!"

"It's not working, we can't switch back!" Hundreds of streamers were sweating profusely, no matter how they tried, they couldn't switch the live stream back to Li Zheng's side.

After trying a few times, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly realized something, staring intently at the screen and saying, "Li Zheng... he's dead..."

As special correspondents, they can broadcast footage of whomever they want.

Apart from those who returned to the Legion's transit space.

Their attempts to switch to Li Zheng's perspective were unsuccessful, leaving only one possibility.

That means Li Zheng is dead and has returned to the transit space.

Just like those players who were shot into white light.

"how come?"

"Didn't he cleave the boss's counterattack? He wasn't hurt at all, so how could he be dead?"

"You bastard, you can't joke about something like this."

"Wait, look at the upper left corner, isn't that Li Zheng?"

A sharp-eyed viewer suddenly sent a comment to remind others.

Everyone looked intently, and Bai Xiaosheng's side happened to be randomly assigned to a soldier's third-person perspective at the scene. In the upper left corner, a figure with flashing lightning behind it could be vaguely seen.

Besides Li Zheng, they hadn't seen anyone else with this flying ability.

"You bastard, the person is perfectly fine, why are you cursing them? I'm never giving you any more tips."

"Exactly, they clearly..."

Just then, the wings behind the figure, which were flashing with lightning, suddenly disappeared, and the body turned into white light and flew into the sky.

"this!!!!"

"He's really dead?!"

"But...why?"

"Why did he die out of the blue?"

"I can't accept it!"

The plot took a sudden turn, leaving the audience completely bewildered.

The bosses of the Lava Mountains and the Endless Ocean are clearly of the same level, so why did Li Zheng die suddenly this time when he was unharmed when he killed the previous one?

"Wait a minute! Li Zheng has returned to the transit space, so wouldn't that mean Kunlun and Jiutian would get the Boss's corpse?"

Some people in the audience realized what was happening.

It's important to know that although Li Zheng didn't directly reveal detailed information about the Boss's decomposition materials, the Boss's own rank was undeniable.

This being can crush countless players; the items obtained after dismantling it will definitely be of a rank no lower than Star-level!

Bai Xiaosheng: "..."

His feelings at this moment were somewhat complicated.

Emotionally, he felt that although Kunlun and Jiutian had only come to help Li Zheng hold off the Boss at the invitation of others, their sacrifice this time was too great, and it would be reasonable to give the Boss to them.

However, reason told him that it was Li Zheng's spoils of war, and no one should touch it.

In the live stream, the endless ocean, which had previously reached knee-deep at the portal, was rapidly receding due to the death of the hammerhead whale.

The beach was left with a large number of creatures that did not have time to return to the ocean with the tide.

There are shellfish, shrimp, and crabs that lie on the sand.

Other marine plants and animals include kelp, seaweed, laver, sea anemones, jellyfish, and octopus.

Some of them had already been caught in the crossfire and died, lying quietly on the beach, motionless.

Others were lively and energetic, trying to return to the sea and regain their freedom.

In addition, there were a large number of shell casings of different types scattered on the beach, which were traces left by the members of Kunlun and Jiutian in the battle just now.

In the distance, the water level dropped, revealing the carcass of a hammerhead whale that had been submerged underwater.

Over 300 meters long, its sheer size, even in its dead state, would instill a profound sense of oppression in those who witnessed it.

"boom!"

One of the Nine Heavens members couldn't resist taking a step forward, only to have a bullet hit the beach right in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.

"No one is allowed to approach the hammerhead whale. This is the major's order!"

The middle-aged commander, gun in hand, shouted, "Surround the entrance! No one is allowed to pass before the people at the starting point come to take over. Anyone who tries to trespass will die!"

"This is also the major's order!"

"..."

"Yes!"

After a brief hesitation, the warriors of Kunlun responded in unison and quickly set up a defensive line in front of the portal.

Some people were heading towards the portal to prevent anyone from trespassing.

Some people, on the other hand, faced the ocean with a stern expression.

Those who had only nine days left looked at each other, feeling extremely awkward.

They received no orders, and Kunlun did not take care of them.

But the purpose of the soldiers facing the sea was perfectly clear to them.

Even though they had fought side by side not long ago, military orders are absolute. If the people of Jiutian dared to dissect the hammerhead whale carcass, Kunlun would probably not hesitate to take action against them.

Just as the atmosphere was starting to get tense, a figure appeared in the portal and slowly walked out.

The newcomer was a short-haired woman, whose most striking feature was that her left arm had been replaced by a very sleek and beautiful silver-white robotic arm.

"Everyone, my guild leader left something behind here. Do you know where he left it?"

"..."

No one spoke; they all turned to look at the carcass of the humpback whale not far away.

"Thank you!" Yan Guang smiled and took a step to go over.

"stop!"

The middle-aged commander raised his gun and aimed at Yan Guang, asking in an unquestionable tone, "How can you prove you're a member of the Qidian Legion? And how can you prove you were really sent here on Li Zheng's orders?"
