Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 821 A Newbie's First Encounter
Upon arriving at Block 4, Li Zheng did not go home but instead turned around and went to the Sin Domain.

"I've already been to Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Wrath. This time, let's try something different and visit the Sloth Domain."

Each twisted creature in the realm of sin has certain characteristics that correspond to its interests.

So what would those twisted creatures look like in the Sloth Sin Domain?
Upon arriving at the Sloth Domain and stepping out of the portal, Li Zheng had already set up a mental barrier around himself.

After a moment, he realized that he had come alone and there was no need to do this, so he removed the barrier. As long as he did not deliberately suppress his mental power, the road from the entrance of the Sin Domain to the Golden Light Zone would not cause him any trouble.

As usual, there is a stone tablet not far from the entrance, but the text recorded on this stone tablet is shorter than ever before.

[Entering the Sloth Domain requires adherence to...]

[Forget it, I'm too lazy to write...]

Judging from the color of the font, Li Zheng could tell that even with such a small amount of information, the person who recorded it had to do it over a hundred times to finish.

"The Sloth Sin Domain, how incredibly lazy."

Li Zheng looked into the distance and saw another settlement area ahead, but there were very few houses in the settlement area, and a large number of figures wearing disguises were lying haphazardly on the ground.

Upon getting closer, Li Zheng discovered that many people were being held down by others. Both were still breathing, but the one on the bottom preferred to be held down rather than push the other away.

"Something's not right here." Li Zheng frowned. In other sinful areas, the gathering area had never seen anything like this before, and everyone would put up some kind of resistance.

In the realm of sloth, quite a few people have chosen to succumb to the influence of laziness and lie there doing nothing.

"Where is the person in charge here?" Li Zheng was furious. He wanted to find the person in charge of the Lazy Sin Domain gathering area and scold them for not managing it properly. Suddenly, he realized that the person in charge was probably also slacking off. Even if he scolded them, they probably wouldn't bother with him.

"But even with all this neglect, how come these people haven't become twisted?" Li Zheng was somewhat puzzled. Logically, with so many people being corrupted by the Sin Domain environment, there should have been many twisted creatures, so why...?

Li Zheng thought of one possibility, but felt it was too outrageous.

"These people... are too lazy to become twisted!"

Distortion is almost a phenomenon at the rule level in the realm of sin, but laziness seems to be a more bizarre negative emotion compared to others, as it can make someone too lazy to even want to distort...

In this case, it is very likely that there are no twisted creatures in this sinful realm.

Li Zheng walked through the gathering area without disturbing those guys who were just giving up.

Behind the gathering area, people were lying on the road, not even turning over, as if they were corpses thrown there, stretching out in the distance with no end in sight.

For some reason, looking at this scene, Li Zheng felt a chill run down his spine and a strange sense of unease.

"Something's not right." Li Zheng looked around as he walked.

It wasn't until they reached the golden area of ​​the Heavenly Dragon Clan that Li Zheng realized something was wrong: "Since these people are so lazy, why didn't we find any corpses of people who starved to death because they were too lazy?"

Since some people are too lazy to do anything, they will inevitably be too lazy to eat and drink, and eventually starve to death.

So what happened to these people's bodies?
Looking back, Li Zheng realized that this Lazy Sin Domain seemed even more bizarre than he had imagined.

As Li Zheng entered the golden zone, he suddenly sensed something and looked in one direction.

There, a crack appeared in the black mist in the sky, from which several hideous and terrifying tentacles emerged, landing on the ground and pulling the two figures upwards.

Old Pu gave a clue: those were two people who had just starved to death, while the one in the sky seemed to be an extremely powerful, twisted creature. The golden light of the Celestial Dragon Clan shone brightly, and Celestial Dragon figures appeared, leaping high into the air and attacking the tentacles with their weapons.

The tentacles couldn't avoid it, protecting the two tentacles carrying the corpses, while the rest stood outside, letting the illusory figure of the Heavenly Dragon Clan shatter them.

The shattered tentacles fell to the ground, and the lazy creatures that had been lying motionless suddenly became agitated. They twisted their limbs like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey, rushed over, grabbed the twisted tentacles, and frantically stuffed them into their mouths.

The tentacles were stuffed into their mouths and swallowed whole with almost no chewing. After the tentacles were eaten, the people crawled on the ground and searched around, sucking up all the twisted, foul blood that had seeped into the ground.

Li Zheng was stunned. They even dared to eat the flesh of twisted creatures. Weren't these people afraid of being contaminated?
After standing still and observing for a moment, something even stranger happened.

After those lazybones finished devouring all the tentacles and blood, they lay back down and resumed their previous state of slacking off.

They ignored those around them who had also devoured tentacles, even though they could have enjoyed another feast simply by cutting open their stomachs.

Similarly, Li Zheng did not see any signs of distortion on them, as if they had eaten ordinary food instead of distorted creatures.

"strangeness."

Just as he was about to go over and take a closer look, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Don't go there!"

The voice sounded familiar, but Li Zheng couldn't immediately recall where he had heard it before.

Turning around, a figure holding a dark metal rod stood not far away; he was the one who had spoken earlier.

The other party's identity information flashed before his eyes, and Li Zheng was surprised: "Xiahou Fei?"

Xiahou Fei was one of the outer city residents who dared to break out of the golden light zone in the Fourth Sin Domain and fight alongside Li Zheng. At that time, Xiahou Fei's strength ranked second to last among everyone.

Li Zheng is ranked last.

He's still alive?
Li Zheng was surprised, then remembered that Xiahou Fei seemed to have been with a master at the time. When the others left and were intercepted and killed by Na Tuo and his group, Xiahou Fei did not go with them, but stayed by the master's side, thus narrowly escaping death.

Xiahou Fei was equally surprised to hear him call out his name: "You know me?"

"Of course," Li Zheng said with a smile, "We've even fought side by side."

Fight side by side?

Xiahou Fei froze for a moment, then remembered where he had heard that voice before: "You are...! You are that...! That newbie who's even worse than me!"

Li Zheng was both amused and exasperated, as they were indeed the only two newbies among everyone at the time.

He had a good impression of this guy named Xiahou Fei. When he was fighting the twisted creatures outside, Xiahou Fei seemed to be the first person to be inspired to join the battle.

Daring to be the first to be stronger, this act alone is enough to earn Li Zheng's high regard for him.

"Yes, it's me." Li Zheng nodded in response.

Xiahou Fei limped closer: "You're still alive? I heard that almost everyone who fought the twisted creatures with us died."

As Xiahou Fei approached, Li Zheng smelled a faint stench of decay and frowned.
