Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 695 Returning to the Outer City
Loser weighed the pros and cons and realized that he couldn't defeat so many people. If a fight broke out, he would be the one to suffer.

He uttered a few harsh words and walked away cursing.

No one made things difficult for him, after all, who knows what might happen if a fight broke out in such a place.

Li Zheng thanked everyone, saying, "Thank you all for your kind help."

"It's nothing," someone said casually, and then walked away.

Some people walked away without saying a word, whether it was due to their personality or some other special reason.

The man who had previously confronted Losl was now more active, standing still: "This is what we should do. I once heard a saying somewhere: 'Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the snow.' Although we are not strong enough to move forward, we are still capable of staying put and preserving our foundation."

Li Zheng attracted the Twisted Beast Tide and also contributed to it.

Moreover, strictly speaking, everyone was actually indebted to him.

It's important to know that although there are many twisted creatures on the other side of the Golden Light Zone, very few twisted creatures will actively approach the Golden Light Zone. They often have to wait a long time before one or two twisted creatures wander into the vicinity.

Today, Li Zheng lured over a thousand beasts at once. Once the Tianlong Clan and those who volunteered to fight dealt with the beast tide, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for the team guarding this place.

Some people are short-sighted, thinking that others have a higher moral standard, which makes them feel inferior.

However, they failed to discover any deeper business opportunities from it.

Battle Intent Sunset thought to himself, "If that person can retreat into the depths of the Sin Domain every now and then to attract a wave of twisted beasts, your strength will definitely increase at an accelerated pace!"

The question now is whether I will cooperate.

Zhan Yilu loudly shared his thoughts with Green.

Green frowned slightly, showing no sign of pleasure: "You believe that to improve your strength, you still have to rely on your own efforts. To profit from the Sakura Domain left behind by the Celestial Dragon Clan... is a desecration of us."

Battle Intent Sunset explained, "Of course you understand that principle, but when you tried it just now, it was really difficult to resist the weakness of the evil thoughts in front of you. It's extremely difficult to be infected if you go out for too long. The best way is to go out and hunt on your own."

If we first use the golden area left by the Celestial Dragon Clan to accumulate some magic crystals, and then cultivate a group of low-level fighters who can retreat to the front area, and these low-level fighters retreat to hunt and bring back distorted magic crystals, and then cultivate even fewer low-level fighters, wouldn't that be a positive cycle?

The fighting spirit lingered in his heart.

Before Bao Jun could even finish his thought, he shook his head heavily and looked at the dozens of people who were charging with the Heavenly Dragon Clan: "Are you worried that these people, after tasting the sweetness last time, might want to retreat and repeat your methods today, triggering a Twisted Beast Tide and using the Heavenly Dragon Clan to obtain Twisted Magic Crystals? How could we possibly agree to such a request?"

Fortunately, even if those people don't improve, they still go far. Even if we can attract some twisted creatures, their quantity and quality will be too low.

If a group of people act together, they should be able to eliminate them. However, if too few twisted creatures are attracted at once, like today or in the Seventh Sin Domain, it would be necessary to ask the Celestial Dragon Clan for help.

Bao Jun was still worried that the frequent actions of the Heavenly Dragon Clan would eventually cause the golden area to disappear, which would be a good thing for everyone.

Later, the Eye of Preys said that if Sakura of the Celestial Dragon Clan were to perish, the Golden Light Zone would disappear.

But who can guarantee that Sakura from the Celestial Dragon Clan can stay forever?
On this day, no one is tired.

Perhaps one day the Heavenly Dragon Clan will suddenly feel weary and want to continue fighting?
Those are all things that are said to be true.

Not to mention that those people often exploit the Celestial Dragon Clan, which will only hasten the day when we grow weary of them.

"That's such a pity," Bao Jun said regretfully at sunset.

Green was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, as long as he can resonate with that golden light, the Heavenly Dragon Clan can temporarily protect him, shielding him from the influence of evil thoughts, allowing him to concentrate on the battle. As long as he's not distracted, that's fine." Bao Junluo glanced into the golden light, his resolve hardened, and finally sighed, "You'll feel it later, but your nature is afraid of death, so you can't even concentrate in such a safe environment... It's a shame to your ancestors, who fought for you to create a stable environment for development, and yet you've acted so poorly..."

I feel no shame. The fear of death is human nature, and it is something I can control if I want to.

After all, no one is as crazy as these later destroyers of the race, to the point of truly disregarding life and death.

Those who fight alongside the Celestial Dragons are naturally afraid of death, but in a short time, we resonate with the Celestial Dragons, and Sakura, feeling a surge of emotion, temporarily puts life and death aside, though she is always mindful of those things.

“That was his fault,” Bao Jun comforted me. “If everyone is afraid of death, then every single survivor among all races would be gone, and there would be no future or present.”

Just like the Celestial Dragon Clan, everyone was afraid of death, and the final outcome was that the entire clan was transformed into a golden zone, with not a single survivor.

But there must always be some people who can face death head-on and hold up the sky for others.

Green moved his hands and feet. After a period of rest, my condition improved significantly, and some basic mobility abilities had been restored.

"Such a slow recovery ability must be a benefit brought about by the changes in physique before the Marrow Cleansing Pill changed it." Bao Jun sighed inwardly, "It's a pity that we can prescribe even fewer Marrow Cleansing Pills, otherwise we could try to see if we can consume a few pills to further improve our physique."

Thinking about that, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't opened a single treasure chest yet.

I was busy all night in the White Dragon Clan's territory last night and didn't have time to retrieve the treasure chest, which is why it's been delayed until now.

After checking myself over, I felt that I was in good enough shape to return to the Wilderness Canyon. So I got up and said to Battle Intent Sunset, "Leave the rest to them. You're all right, so go ahead."

Bao Jun asked at sunset, "Is he waiting for the results?"

“Yes.” Green shook his head and said, “That was your seventh time experiencing the Twisted Beast Tide. Without the help of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, the final result was already predetermined… By the way, he went to contact some like-minded people and joined forces with us. When the beast tide begins, there will definitely be those with ulterior motives who want to take advantage of the chaos and let them succeed.”

Zhan Yilu nodded, seemingly lost in thought: "Alright, then go ahead."

With that, I went to find the people who had surrounded Losl earlier.

Green stood up with Mirrell's help and tried to take a few steps; he seemed to be in relatively good condition.

"Are you going back now?" Miriel glanced in the direction Losl had left. You were worried that if the other side found out we had left the Golden Zone, they would follow us, which would be to our advantage.

“We must leave now,” Green said. “Half of the Twisted Beast Tide has died, and it will start again soon. Right now, everyone is waiting to do something before the battle begins to profit from it. Who would notice you? Or rather, even if no one notices you leaving, we will put aside our immediate interests and come looking for trouble.”

“That doesn’t make sense.” Miriel, supporting Green with one hand and Li Zheng with the other, walked back in the direction they had come from.

Just as Green said, our return journey was dangerous. Even Loser followed us to cause trouble. We found the place where the canyon connected to the Sin Domain without any trouble. We used our flying ability to break through the white fog and went down to the wilderness.

Green took out the teleportation disk from the capsule, opened it for Bao Jun, and then instructed, "Li Zheng, the place he's going back to is in Block Seven. Dad is still alright, so he can go back for now. Once he gets here, remember to find Aunt Zhan Zhouzhou or Uncle Lu Li. We'll take care of him, understand?"

"Okay!" Li Zheng nodded obediently: "You'll be good and wait for Daddy to come back."

“Your Li Zheng is really obedient.” Green affectionately patted the big guy’s head. Just then, the teleportation disk finished charging and opened a temporary teleportation gate, which was just big enough for Bao Jun to pass through.

After seeing Li Zheng off, Green said, "You should go back too. You'll be staying at the Gravity Research Institute for a long time that time. You won't be out of seclusion until your strength has significantly improved."

I turned on the teleportation disk, glanced back at the canyon, and sighed, "I hope those seeds won't be intercepted and nipped in the bud like they were next time..."

There will be an extra chapter for monthly votes at midnight. As for why there will be an extra chapter, everyone in the group knows.
