Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 99 The Stitched Wolf
Two bats were skewered together like lamb skewers, not even dead yet, struggling to tear at the scaly tails that had pierced them.

"Good job!"

Li Zheng praised him, then slapped the end of the spear with his left hand, using the force to pull it back.

"Woo~"

"Snapped!"

Another bat was instantly sucked into a bloody mist, which fell to the ground.

"Yingying?"

Sakura herself was still bewildered, curiously looking at her newly grown tail, seemingly not understanding why the tail was acting out of control and had already killed two bats before she could even react.

From the moment Li Zheng entered the Lost Castle, Xiao Ying stood on his shoulder, remaining unmoved no matter how he used his spear skills.

It was already used to this state and had a very good grasp of balance.

When the two bats approached Li Zheng's back, it only sensed something behind it and before it could react to the fact that they were enemies, its tail took the initiative and performed a great service.

"Hey!"

That tail!
It belongs to Sakura!

Sakura can finally help in the battle!
Sakura is incredibly strong!

Amazing!
At this moment, Sakura had long forgotten how much she hated the tail when it first grew out.

Trying to actively control its tail, it curled it in front of its eyes. Seeing that the two bats were still tearing at its scales, the little guy angrily flicked its thin tail.

"Pia!"

Like a whip, its thin tail lashes through the air, making a crisp sound.

The two bats tried to bite for a long time, but couldn't even get a bite off the scales on Sakura's tail before being thrown away.

Blood flowed from the hole pierced by their tails, and both bats were dead when they landed.

Seeing this, Xiaoying's eyes lit up. Taking advantage of the moment when Li Zheng was focused on killing the bats, she flapped her wings and flew away.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The little guy, with what it thought was a fierce expression, swung its thin tail and rushed towards a space where bats were less numerous.

"Pia! Pia!"

Before it even got close, its scaly tail lashed out repeatedly, whipping the air back and forth to bolster its imposing presence.

These bats aren't very intelligent. When they see one that's alone, the bats that Sakura has her eye on swarm towards it.

"Swish swish~"

The little guy was very clever. Before the bats could get close, he first used up all his genetic energy and fired twenty flying rock projectiles, successfully shooting down two bats.

Although the bats in the field were surprisingly weak, Sakura's aim was always poor, and her flying rock bullets would easily miss when facing too few enemies.

"Hey!"

Sakura yelled angrily, whipped her tail, and sped up to meet him, making a loud popping sound as she blew the air out.

Several bats dispersed, attempting to surround and attack Sakura.

A slender, scaled tail could be seen either piercing straight through or lashing out softly, leaving several afterimages around it; its speed and power were not weak.

In the blink of an eye, Sakura shot down all the bats.

"Eek!" The little guy was overjoyed, hugging the tail of the bats he had killed, beaming with delight.

Soon,
This bat swarm attack is also nearing its end.

Li Zheng urged the aircraft to catch up with the last bat, and with a thrust of his spear, the last bat also perished.

"Kongkongkong!"

Almost without pause, within the black space on the roof, after a series of loud noises, ten people stood up, and black wolf-shaped creatures resembling humans jumped down from within.

"Now I know where the wolf fur in the bat's belly came from," Li Zheng thought to himself.

These black-haired werewolves stood up, and at first glance, they looked like werewolves from Western legends.

However, the simple information provided by the matrix system is:

The Stitched Wolf

Li Zheng noticed that these strange wolves all bore traces of surgical sutures, mostly around their limbs. It seemed that these limbs had been cut off, adjusted, and then stitched back together. It was like putting on clay, stretching it out, kneading it, and then sticking it back on, thus changing its shape.

Besides the bizarre stitching marks, the wolf's body was also very robust, with bulging, knotted muscles that were even more exaggerated than Liu Jiale's arms.

"Awoo~" x10
The stitched-together wolves landed and howled.

The howling suddenly stopped, and the ten monstrous wolves scattered and charged at the team members.

The three-headed wolf lunged at Zhan Zhouzhou, drool dripping from its mouth and its eyes filled with madness.

The remaining seven heads were in the same state, and they all pounced on Xiao Siyuan and his two companions.

Li Zheng, however, was overlooked because he was flying in the air.

"You two hold on!" Ye Yuan shouted, her hands moving non-stop as she produced a large quantity of Gatling gun ammunition. "I'll make some bullets first, and I'll be able to support you soon."

Xiao Siyuan rolled his eyes: "I just calculated the rate of fire of your Gatling gun. It's at least 3,600 rounds per minute. You should have at least 100,000 in stock, otherwise you'll end up like this, enjoying it for a short while and then it's all gone."

"Stop talking nonsense! Block them first, I'll get there as fast as I can!"

With a major battle looming, the girl put aside her talkative nature and acted decisively.

"Xiao Liu, go!" Xiao Siyuan tossed his head to signal, already holding the M4 in both hands, and began firing in bursts.

Liu Jiale remained silent, his face grave. He gripped the black knife tightly and raised it upwards to meet the attack.

"Crack!"

A sharp wolf claw was blocked by the black knife. With a flick of his wrist, Liu Jiale delivered a powerful slash to the wolf's neck.

Just as he was about to kill a strange wolf, Liu Jiale caught a glimpse of a sharp wolf claw slashing out from the corner of his eye. If he didn't dodge, he feared that while he was about to behead the wolf, he would also be injured by the claw.

"call!"

Liu Jiale twisted his arm, turning the black knife at an angle to block the insidious wolf's claws that were attacking.

"Ding."

"Da da da."

Xiao Siyuan fired several shots at the strange wolf, but it seemed to feel no pain. It only trembled slightly from the kinetic energy of the bullets, and its claws continued to reach for Liu Jiale.

"Bore!"

The blade and claws clashed, and the power of the platinum-grade machete was beyond doubt; it directly cleaved the wolf's claws in two.

Liu Jiale also followed this force and quickly retreated a few steps.

At this moment, all seven monstrous wolves had attacked, their claws striking relentlessly. Liu Jiale, unable to withstand the combined might of fourteen wolves, found himself on the defensive.

Even with Xiao Siyuan's firepower support from behind, Liu Jiale was overwhelmed and couldn't even take down a single strange wolf.

Conversely, Zhan Zhouzhou, who also possessed exceptional skills, used a special footwork technique and relied solely on his silver-grade lightsaber to fight the three-headed wolf to a standstill.

"Sakura, don't go down."

Li Zheng twirled the spear in his hand, gave a word of instruction, and then activated the aircraft, diving towards Liu Jiale and the others.

During the journey, the titanium alloy spear disappeared for a moment, and in its place appeared a black tungsten steel spear.

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Fire Element!"

Enveloped in blazing flames, the tungsten steel spear was hurled by Li Zheng, leaving a dazzling trail of fire in the air.

"The previous wave of bats, each of them was only equivalent to the strength of black iron, close to bronze."

Li Zheng took out his titanium alloy spear again and twirled it: "This time, however, each of the strange wolves has the strength of a silver-level wolf, close to the gold-level."

The tungsten steel spear is only of the black iron grade; without the ability to attach it, it poses little threat to those strange wolves.

"It's a pity that my genetic force has not recovered enough, otherwise I could have killed these strange wolves from a distance."

He had used up all his genetic energy when he defeated Kenta Bull, and it had only recovered less than halfway. If he used it all up, he would have no trump cards left when the next boss came.

"puff!"

The tungsten steel spear wreathed in flames pierced through the defenses of a monstrous wolf, penetrating its hind leg and pinning it firmly to the ground.

The flames roasted the wolf leg, and soon the air was filled with a burnt smell.

A cold glint followed closely behind, and Li Zheng thrust his spear straight into the back of the strange wolf's head.
