Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 881 - 627: Invisible Panic (Part 2)

"Alright." Li Zheng thought for a moment and nodded.

According to legend, demons all reside in the Abyss, never seeing the light of day, and the world is forever dominated by dark hues, so it seems there is indeed nothing to long for.

Moreover, any of the Abyss Race who didn't manage to enter the Matrix are probably all dead, so going back would be meaningless since he wouldn't be able to see those family members again.

"By the way." Thinking about demons, Li Zheng said, "Actually, in our hometown, there are also legends about demons. I used to think those were merely fantasies from someone's dreams, but now thinking it through, perhaps some of those people somehow came into contact with your race, they just couldn't confirm the authenticity, so they recorded it as some sort of fantasy biography."

"Eh?" Mirel looked up at him excitedly, "Really? What are we Abyss Demon Race like in your legends?"

"Uh..." Li Zheng's expression froze, "Well... it's a bit awkward because demons in our place don't have a very good reputation, they're typically villainous roles."

"Villains?" Mirel didn't feel disappointed; instead, she pursued further with even more excitement, "Are they the world-destroying type of villains?"

Li Zheng tilted his head and thought carefully, "Pretty much, they're generally hideous demons with red skin, horns on their heads, wings like bats on their backs, mouths that can spew fire, and they eat human children."

"Hmm, that image is somewhat similar to the Great Demon." Mirel recalled pensively with her finger against her chin, "Great Demons are notorious for their bad tempers in the Abyss Race, quick to fight at the slightest disagreement, not really well-received. Especially in the Great Demon Race, there's a guy named Rage Demon who constantly seeks to fight even if no one provokes him."

"Rage Demon... is that it?" Li Zheng let out a low growl, his body twisting and transforming into a hideous demon, muscle bulging all over, filled with a sense of power.

"Ah, yes, yes! That's what they look like!" Mirel covered her mouth with a chuckle, "So ugly, the Enchanting Demon Race dislikes Great Demons the most; they're all violent maniacs."

Saying this, she suddenly froze, pointed at Li Zheng, her mouth slightly open, "You... you... oh dear, how embarrassing!"

She covered her face and ran to the eggshell bed, diving headfirst into the covers.

"Huh?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Li Zheng was dumbfounded, I just turned into a Rage Demon, what kind of reaction is that?

He looked down and noticed that due to the transformation, his waistband had stretched open, revealing something even uglier poking its head out as if it needed air.

"..." Li Zheng pulled out the thing, utterly confused, "Isn't this the tail unique to your Demon Race? As far as I remember, you have one too?"

Indeed, the tail Li Zheng was holding was the one that had grown during his transformation into a Rage Demon.

Unlike the triangular-tipped tail of the Enchanting Demon Race, the Rage Demon's tail is uglier, bare, resembling a large rat's tail, sparsely covered with tufts of gray-black hair.

"Eh?" Mirel popped her head out from under the covers, "It's a tail?"

Li Zheng swung the tail in his hand, "Yeah, what else did you think it was?"

"Ha... haha..." Mirel laughed awkwardly a few times, "I also thought it was a tail."

Li Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly and terminated the transformation, the tail shrank back, disappearing from sight, "In our hometown, demons would entice others to fall, and those who fall have a chance to gain the transformation ability.

This ability I obtained by absorbing the blood essence from a Rage Demon back then. Now thinking about it, perhaps the legends are real, it's just that demons gave those fallen individuals blood essence, allowing them to possess the same transformation ability."

"Hmm... this seems to be a unique ability of the Primordial Great Demon, but there are too many races born from the cross-breeding between Primordial Great Demons and other races, and some individuals among them have similar abilities. The Rage Demon you encountered might be one of them." Mirel speculated.

Li Zheng thought it over and felt uncertain, "You should have seen Phoenix Mountain's fighting state before; most of his abilities are Abyssal System transformations, but each transformation is partial, like he can turn his arms into Pig Demon's hooves or something."

"Area conversion huh?" Mirel shook her head, "I haven't heard of any race having such an ability; it shouldn't be a legitimate Abyssal System ability, might be caused by special rules within the Matrix."

"Could be," Li Zheng found this explanation quite plausible, "Another possibility is that the Terminal stimulated the blood of the Abyss Race, causing different degrees of atavism, but the atavism wasn't thorough enough, or perhaps due to the thinness of the bloodline, making it unable to achieve complete transformation, evolving into the partial transformation state like Phoenix Mountain?"

"That I'm not too sure about." Mirel said, "However, your theory seems more reasonable and more likely to come true. Let's leave these topics I don't understand, tell me more about the characteristics of demons in your hometown legends?"

She seemed particularly curious about this aspect, jumped off the eggshell bed again, ran to Li Zheng's side and sat down, seeing him slightly tired, she reached out to rub his head.

This time, Li Zheng didn't stop her because Mirel's massage pressure was just right, slightly alleviating his weary spirit.
