Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 683 Long time no see
After the older, gray-haired woman finished her argument, she turned to Li Zheng and said, "Although I know you are not him, I still want to say to you, it's been a long time."

Li Zheng: "???"

It's been so long, damn it!
He really wanted to take out the inscription card and contact the terminal to ask who the hell was so bored as to cause all this trouble, only to end up taking the fall for it...

and many more!

Li Zheng looked down at Xiao Ying, who was still crunching on fruit in his arms, and suddenly thought of a very serious question: Since the little guy was a product of some predecessor, and the matrix is ​​so big, why is it just on his inevitable path?

and also……

When I first got the detector, I didn't plan to go into the dangerous room. Why did I encounter the little guy the first time I tried to go into the dangerous room to test the waters?
everything……

What a coincidence!
Li Zheng simply did not believe that there was no involvement from end users behind this.

The question now is, what is the stance of the person who started all this?
Are they from the outer city side, or from the side that's lost their minds and is drawn to emotional storms?
“Since the terminals are involved, they shouldn’t be on the opposite side, right…” Li Zheng thought to himself.

At this moment, the gray-haired woman waved to the girl she had brought and pointed to the empty seat opposite Li Zheng, saying, "An'an, sit down."

“Yes, Great-Grandma,” An’an said respectfully, then went over and sat down.

After sitting down, the gray-haired girl openly looked at Li Zheng, scrutinizing him without any restraint.

After looking at him for a moment, she asked, "Are you the man my great-grandmother arranged for me?"

Her voice was hoarse, a very typical husky voice, quite the opposite of her somewhat innocent appearance.

"Another one!" Li Zheng's legs were shaking with anger.

What exactly did that senior do back then?

Why are these people so eager to offer themselves partners?
If Li Zheng still doesn't understand what those seats across from him represent, then he's just fooling himself.

He looked at Miriel and suddenly realized that the Succubus Queen's original intention in asking him to bring Miriel to the outer city was not pure.
But seeing that Miriel also looked uneasy, Li Zheng was convinced that she, like him, was being kept in the dark.

This kind of thing...

This is so hilarious!

"Except for the Destroyer Clan, who are too far away to come, everyone else is here."

After the gray-haired woman and the Black Dragon Clan patriarch sat down, they stood up and addressed everyone: "We promised that person that if he could accomplish that impossible task, each of our clans would carefully select an outstanding member of our clan to marry him. If he couldn't come in person, the one who brought the newborn would accept this bet on his behalf."

“Now…” His aged fingers, lined with deep furrows, pointed at Sakura, who was devouring fruit, and said, “The newcomers have arrived, and they are very healthy. It is time for us to fulfill our promise.”

"Wait!" Li Zheng quickly stopped them. "Isn't this a bit too hasty? I wasn't the one who made the agreement with you, so why should I bear the consequences? I don't agree!"

"I disagree too!" Dan Fenglai shouted in agreement. "I don't want to marry this nasty guy!" "Fenglai, shut up!" The vampire queen looked at her and shouted angrily.

Danfeng pouted and lowered her head in grievance, tears welling up in her eyes this time.

The gray-haired woman spoke up, saying, "This agreement must be kept. It concerns the survival of our five clans. Neither of us can refuse and it cannot be voided."

"What do you mean?" Li Zheng frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the Vampire Queen and the Black Dragon Ancestor. "How can such a childish agreement determine the survival of your five clans? Can anyone give me an explanation?"

"Let me explain this matter," the Black Dragon Clan patriarch sighed, "Have you ever wondered this on your journey here? Why don't my Black Dragon Clan, the Blood Clan, and the Pain Clan live in the outer city, but instead claim territory and rule over their own lands in the wilderness?"

At this moment, the Black Dragon Clan ancestor suddenly emitted a dense, almost tangible blood aura, completely covering his body, like a large, blood-red cocoon.

The surface of the blood-red cocoon constantly transformed into various ferocious beast shapes, which was extremely terrifying.

Li Zheng seemed to smell an unyielding stench of blood. This stench caused the black, resentful hair on his back to wriggle, and the resentful entities within the hair seemed to be terrified of it.

He looked at the vampire queen and the gray-haired woman and found that they also had endless blood energy surging out from their bodies, forming large blood-red cocoons.

Everyone present, except for him and Miriel, was used to it and found it unsurprising.

"You are actually Bloodthirsty Ones!" Li Zheng was shocked. He wondered how many of his own kind he had personally killed to create these three blood-red cocoons!

He looked at Miriel: "Are the succubi and the unseen Destroyer race also like that?"

“It’s different.” The vampire queen’s voice came from the crimson cocoon, which was slowly being pulled away like a pupa, and then reabsorbed into her body.

She said with a hint of disdain, "Of the three races present, whether it is the Black Dragon Clan, my Blood Clan, or the Pain Clan, after entering the Matrix, due to various reasons, they believed in the law of the jungle, and there was serious infighting among the clansmen. As a result, when they were finally promoted, they could not enter the outer city and could only stay in the wilderness."

"The Destroyer Clan is similar to us, except that their nature is war and destruction; they belong to a completely chaotic camp, while we..."

She glanced at the two people beside her who had also put away their blood-red cocoons, and slowly said, "We actually yearn to return to order, but our identity as Bloodborne people imprisons us, preventing our entire clan from migrating to the outer city."

"What about the succubi?" Li Zheng asked. "When I met the succubus queen, they were still in the matrix and hadn't even entered the wilderness."

"The Succubus race?" The vampire queen's contempt deepened. "They are nothing but a bunch of weak and incompetent people. They somehow learned that after entering the outer city or the wilderness, their entire race would face a final calamity. They actually encouraged other races in the abyss with the potential to advance to stay in the matrix to avoid the war."

"It was precisely because of their actions that no one among the players at that time was able to fight against the psychic storm. In the end, it was us, the races that remained in the wilderness, who had to take the lead, and we suffered heavy losses!"

The gray-haired woman snorted coldly and didn't say much, but judging from her expression, she also despised the succubus's actions.

She hasn't looked at Miriel even once since she walked in, which is probably because of this incident.
