Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 918 - 645: Mine, Mine, All Mine! (Part 3)
Adding water isn't too difficult. Li Zheng only needs to activate the Ice Attachment, condensing the moisture in the air into ice crystals. Even if there are some impurities, with his physical condition, those impurities are far from causing an upset stomach.
It's the food that's the real challenge.
The Sin Domain is barren, and it's rare to see any vegetation growing on the land. Occasionally, some moss is found, but it's already contaminated and inedible.
"If all else fails... should I trade a small Magic Crystal for some food?" Li Zheng pondered, feeling a bit unwilling. He then took out two Inscription Cards found on an infected body from his pocket, "Or perhaps I should use these to trade instead."
Though he wasn't sure how much money was stored in the Inscription Cards, the ease with which it had been turned into an infected body indicated its lack of strength, suggesting it couldn't be very wealthy.
Trade it and let others try their luck; if it turns out to be a loss, consider it charity.
By comparison, Magic Crystals with abundant energy are rarer and more valuable.
"Alright, that settles it!"
After looking around, Prelis' Eye kindly informed him that there was a five-man squad in a certain direction, not too far away.
Flying over would only take a few minutes.
With a bit of Genetic Force restored, Li Zheng spread his Thunderbolt Wings and rushed there.
...
"Mine, mine! They're all mine!" The cat panted heavily, its eyes bloodshot. The shadow behind it twisted ferociously, morphing into a menacing monster shape.
"These Red Magic Crystals, they're all mine! None of you should dare to fight me for them!"
It kicked the dog in the stomach, making the dog stagger back several steps before barely standing firm.
The dog instantaneously flew into a rage, swinging a bone club to smash: "Screw you, if I kill you all, I can have the Red Magic Crystals to myself!"
The old bull jumped aside a few steps and roared: "You dare to make a move on me? See if I won't slaughter you!"
Then it charged at the mouse not far away.
The mouse vanished, dodging the bull's charge, and appeared behind the crane, holding two daggers gleaming with cold light against the crane's neck, sneering eerily: "I've long been fed up with you idiots. Today you think you can fight me for the Red Magic Crystals? Dream on!"
With that, the daggers were about to slice the crane's throat.
The crane's robe suddenly billowed, their body swelling into a ball and flinging the mouse off, swinging two hook blades back at the mouse's belly: "You trash, I'll cut down every last one of you with a single strike!"
The five of them were in a chaotic melee.
Around them, the bodies of numerous twisted creatures lay sprawled out in disorder.
A faint evil thought aura seeped from their corpses, connecting with the shadows behind the five, influencing their minds through those shadows.
The fight grew fiercer, gradually leading to injuries.
The mouse's legs were cut off at the knees by the crane, leaving the crane with two conical blood holes in the chest and abdomen, fresh blood gurgling out.
The bull's limbs were shattered, lying softly on the ground, still groaning as it tried to rise and claim ownership of the Red Magic Crystal.
The dog was covered with tiny wounds, marks where the cat's claws had frenziedly sliced, none of which were deep, but their sheer number nearly drained all the blood from its body.
The cat was the most miserable, having been attacked by everyone else, its body covered in scars, lying on the ground in an uncertain state between life and death.
"Mine... all mine..."
"I'll kill you all! I will kill you all!"
Those still able to move, even laying on the ground, crawled toward each other, trying to kill the others completely.
Voices growing weaker, while the shadows behind them stood up, as if their bodies on the ground had swapped places with their shadows.
"Huh? So many twisted creatures, and all at Red Magic Crystal level!" a strange voice called out from not far away.
"Another one looking for death!" The few turned their heads viciously to look, as did their five standing shadows, seeming to have gained consciousness, exchanging glances as if discussing something.
Within seconds, they seemed to reach an agreement, slowly sinking into the ground, returning to ordinary shadows and hiding away.
"Tsk tsk tsk, impressive, looking at these scars, clean and crisp, showing great skills," Li Zheng walked among the corpses of twisted creatures, constantly praising, "Purely comparing combat technique, Zhan Zhouzhou might even be slightly inferior."
But why haven't these twisted creatures' Magic Crystals been dug out yet?
Li Zheng looked up, seeing the pile of twisted creatures' bodies at the center, with five figures clad in Concealing Clothing lying there: "Injured?"
He hurriedly stepped forward, ready to check their injuries.
Scanning the scene, one individual's identity caught his attention: "Wind Evil Cat?"
Li Zheng approached the prone figure, examining the wounds: "Wow, all lethal wounds, yet still alive!"
Wind Evil Cat was simply too wounded and fell unconscious, while the other four lay there, staring at Li Zheng with malicious eyes, growling low like beasts.
"Something's off, and there's an aura different from the Fourth Sin Domain around here," Li Zheng frowned, noting that Prelis' Eye had suddenly gone mute, offering no hints.
"Looks like I have to resolve this myself." Li Zheng unleashed his Spiritual Power, sweeping through the evil thought aura in the field, tracing it to its source.
"Found it!"
His eyes widened, and the shadows of the five men twisted wildly, stretching into monstrous forms and leaping aggressively toward Li Zheng.
"Shatter for me!"
Li Zheng increased his output, his invisible Spiritual Power transforming into two millstones, trapping the five shadows and grinding them down with all his might.
The five black shadows became fixed in mid-air, their twisted limbs gradually shedding thick black mist, which Li Zheng obliterated with his unleashed Spiritual Power.
As the mist dissipated, the five shadows slowly returned to their normal state.
Four of those on the ground, who hadn't lost consciousness, felt their awareness fade.
He Xiaoran was startled: "I... hiss... who punched two holes in me?"
