Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 693 Let’s Go Back

Despite Miriel's tirade, those people remained unmoved.

She could even feel the mocking gazes from some people hidden behind their clothes, which stung her and made her feel extremely uncomfortable and disgusted.

She responded with a cold laugh, saying, "Even if you take risks because of your own greed, I still think highly of you. At least you're not trash who sit back and reap the benefits, or vermin in a latrine waiting for others to shit on them!"

Sometimes, telling someone what they are doing is far more effective than trying to bind them with ideals, morals, or other such concepts.

Who among those who remain here at this moment doesn't have some ulterior motives?

If it weren't for the pure purple-grade magic crystals they could obtain after the war, they might have already fled this place.

But how is this behavior any different from squatting in a latrine, waiting for others to defecate, and then picking up and eating the excrement?

"Ha, a despicable attempt to provoke me." Someone sneered, then suddenly drew his weapon and stepped out of the golden light zone, saying, "But I'll fall for it!"

The man turned around and glanced at Miriel: "I'm not trying to prove anything to a piece of trash like you, I just have an itchy hand and suddenly want to find something to fight."

He strode towards the battlefield. Although he did not sing a war song, the golden light behind him still gave him a blessing of fighting spirit.

The battle intent domain left behind by the Celestial Dragon Clan can most directly identify whether each person is truly participating in the battle, and they can discern whether each person's battle intent is pure.

What's reassuring is that this person actually harbors a fighting spirit!

Following that, several more people stepped forward and successfully received the blessing of battle spirit. They were uneasy, worried that the golden light surrounding them might have any side effects.

However, their fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger, leaving them no time to think about those messy things.

All they wanted was to fight a fierce battle and kill the powerful enemy who dared to invade!
These people are all quite capable.

Although their fighting methods differ, their destructive power is truly astonishing.

Some of them were skilled in close combat, striking the gluttonous beast with their bare hands, each punch landing with a resounding thud.

Some of them are skilled with melee weapons, and all sorts of strange and unusual weapons are displayed, all of which can inflict damage on the gluttonous behemoth.

Some of them also used firearms that were rejected by many, but unfortunately, those originally powerful firearms had little effect on the Gluttonous Beast.

Only the powerful impact of firearms can have any effect on the Gluttonous Beasts.

However, this is enough. Any favorable condition on the battlefield can influence the course of the battle. Even the slightest impact could cause the Gluttonous Beasts to be decapitated.

A total of twenty people walked out.

Even more people remained in the Golden Zone.

Some of them tried to leave the Golden Zone, but due to insufficient willpower or weak mental strength, they were unable to withstand the environment there and had to retreat back to the Golden Zone.

Some others, though able to put up a brief resistance, did not receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dragon Clan's fighting spirit and, knowing they could not hold out for long, also retreated.

But these people are a minority.

Most of them stood indifferently in the golden zone, watching the figures of the gluttonous beasts charging and fighting.

Even worse, some people, seemingly just to save face, actually made comments about those people's fighter jets.

Whenever they saw someone inferior to themselves, they would do everything in their power to belittle them, bluntly stating that someone with such strength who dared to step forward was truly courting death. Miriel found these people increasingly laughable, coldly ignoring them and focusing on Li Zheng's condition while holding Xiaoying.

Li Zheng was already exhausted and was only holding on by sheer willpower.

With the help of the Bodhi tree, his combat abilities, both in terms of skill and technique, have improved significantly, and his comprehension has increased considerably, making learning much easier.

However, it cannot be denied that he had been exposed to these combat techniques for far too short a time, so short that even the Bodhi Tree's talent enhancement could not bridge the gap between him and others.

Moreover, compared to physical strength, many races far surpass him.

For example, someone like the Black Dragon Ancestor, if they really fought, could crush hundreds of Li Zhengs with a single kick...

Li Zheng was able to damage the Gluttonous Beast entirely because of the Black Dragon Spear.

The Black Dragon Spear was forged by the blacksmith's first apprentice using extremely rare materials; only two exist in the world.

One of the clubs was bought by Xiao, the sole survivor of the Tianlong Clan, while the other was in Li Zheng's hands.

The five-clawed golden dragon carving on the gun seemed to have a natural suppressive and destructive power against the twisted creatures. When fighting against the twisted creatures, its power seemed to increase significantly.

Li Zheng didn't know if it was just his imagination, but the Black Dragon Spear played a crucial role in his ability to damage the Gluttonous Beast!

Moreover, he had a vague intuition that if his physical strength became stronger, the power of the Black Dragon Spear could be further enhanced!
"I can't hold on much longer..." Li Zheng thrust out the gun again, creating a hole in the Gluttonous Beast's body. Every movement he made felt incredibly heavy, making it extremely difficult.

By this time, the gluttonous beast that he had been attacking had been riddled with holes, some of which had even healed during the long battle, leaving a mottled appearance like the spots on a toad's body, which was extremely creepy.

But the gluttonous beast remained lively and repeatedly launched counterattacks against Li Zheng.

If it weren't for the two Celestial Dragon warriors, manifested from their spirits, protecting him, he would probably have been grabbed by the Gluttonous Beast and mashed into a pulp long ago.

Under these circumstances, he dared not use his mental power even more.

His extreme physical exhaustion gave him the illusion that his whole body was about to collapse from exhaustion.

If he were to unleash too much mental power at this moment, he feared that instead of being crushed into mincemeat by the gluttonous beast, he would be the one to explode into mincemeat first...

"Let's go back."

A voice suddenly rang in Li Zheng's ears. His heart skipped a beat, and he retreated rapidly, looking around in surprise and uncertainty.

"You've done a great job. There's no need to continue. Go back now."

The voice rang out again, seemingly a technique of transmitting sound through mental energy.

Li Zheng's heart stirred, and he looked towards the place where the fighting spirit of the Heavenly Dragon Clan was most concentrated, where a Heavenly Dragon Clan member with a relatively intact body was watching him.

Although they were a little far apart, Li Zheng could still sense the smile playing on the other person's lips.

This was not the first time Li Zheng had such an exchange with the fighting spirit of the Heavenly Dragon Clan.

I remember last time in the Fourth Sin Domain, at the moment the battle ended, a dragon who looked like a general nodded to me.

"The 'emotional storm' that the Celestial Dragons embody seems to be different. They still retain some self-awareness, rather than being completely chaotic like twisted creatures, driven by instinct and desire."
