Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

The silver-white dragon halted a millimeter in front of the demon's neck, unable to advance further.

Li Zheng looked at the opponent's big hand gripping the spear like a pair of alloy pliers, his full strength couldn't move it at all.

"Impressive."

Li Zheng couldn't help but commend, wanting to withdraw the spear to escape the grip.

The act of retrieval that was never stopped before failed this time; the spear remained tightly held by the opponent.

The demon widened its blood-red mouth, revealing a sarcastic and strange smile, spewing a string of unintelligible syllables, as if mocking Li Zheng's thoughts.

"I've been seen through, this guy's wisdom is incomparable to those eye demons."

Out of the corner of his eye, Li Zheng glimpsed the bone rod swinging again and decisively abandoned his spear to dodge, drawing another weapon from his hand.

Platinum Level Tachi!

Compared to other things, Li Zheng wouldn't claim to have much, but for the number of Platinum Level weapons, he's second to none.

He turned and slashed, the blade touching the demon's muscular waist, only slicing a bit of its oily skin without seeing blood.

Whoosh!

Close combat was risky everywhere; the demon even used the seized spear as its own weapon, whipping towards Li Zheng.

At this critical moment, with no room to dodge, Li Zheng could only activate the "Short Distance Teleportation" feature of his Eye Demon War Boots, flickering to the rear to avoid this attack.

"Moo roar!"

The repeated evasive action enraged the demon immensely, it flung the spear towards the direction where Li Zheng reappeared.

"Take off!"

In the moment of crisis, before Li Zheng could stabilize his stance, he activated his flying device, lifting his figure.

Swish!

The spear almost brushed between his legs as it passed.

For a moment, he vaguely felt a burning illusion somewhere down there.

"Damn!"

Li Zheng broke out in a cold sweat, if he had reacted a bit slower earlier, that spear would have claimed his life.

"Looks like I need to reveal a little more of my trump cards."

Feeling more determined, Li Zheng moved his consciousness, tossing out a piece of metal from the capsule dwelling.

His outstretched hand caused the metal piece to attach to his arm.

Whoosh!

Dodging the demon's attack once more, Li Zheng continued to pull out pieces of metal from the capsule dwelling.

With each evasion move, these pieces attached to his body one by one.

Until at last, a blue-glowing orb appeared in Li Zheng's hand, which he pressed into a recess on his chest.

Buzz!

The energy connection emitted a slight hydraulic sound, the exoskeleton armor activated, driving Li Zheng's body.

For a moment, he felt as light as a swift, with immeasurable strength, a feeling emerging from the depths of Li Zheng's heart.

Actually, this sensation was half illusory.

Though the exoskeleton armor wasn't heavy, it was far from reaching the so-called "as light as a swift".

It was just that every leap propelled by the leg armor had unmatched power enhancement.

After a brief adaptation, Li Zheng tilted his head, smiled, and said, "This feels pretty good."

Since he first consumed a large amount of Genetic Potion, Li Zheng once again experienced the sensation of a rapid power increase, feeling that now he could even face the demon without being at a disadvantage.

Of course, this was still an illusion.

The exoskeleton armor could only assist him in achieving the limits of an ordinary Platinum Level physique.

While the strength of the Frenzied Demon itself already surpassed a typical Platinum creature.

If it came to a direct confrontation, Li Zheng was sure to suffer.

However, with the assistance of the exoskeleton armor, Li Zheng's combat capability increased several times at least!

Exoskeleton Armor, Platinum Level!

Tiberium Tachi, Platinum Level!

Ice and Fire Attachment, Platinum Level!

Multiple Platinum Level items and Genetic Abilities combined; Li Zheng was able to unleash combat power at his highest level ever.

Moreover, he possessed something that the Frenzied Demon didn't have.

And that was skill!

While dodging, Li Zheng transformed into a steel monster, pulling out another weapon, holding a knife on the left and a sword on the right hand.

Ion Cutting Blade - Long Sword Form, also Platinum Level!

The Dual Gene Force burst, shrouding his entire body with Extreme Isolation, Ice and Fire Attachment stacking on his weapon.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Li Zheng was alarming even to the demon.

But!

This scene likewise provoked the demon's ferocity.

Thud!

The Frenzied Demon's successive attacks were dodged by Li Zheng, suddenly stomping the ground, causing a violent tremor.

While dodging, Li Zheng misstepped, his body tilting, losing balance.

You slippery worm, I've caught you!

The Frenzied Demon sneered, extending a palm to grab at Li Zheng's forehead.

With its sizable palm, it could grasp Li Zheng's head like a basketball.

At that moment, with just a bit of force, Li Zheng's head would turn into a watermelon, being smashed to pieces.

From the start of the battle until now, Li Zheng relied on his speed, spending most of the time dodging, like a loach seeking gaps in the Frenzied Demon's onslaught.

This gave the demon a sense of powerlessness, like punching at cotton with all force.

Clearly, hitting once with the rod could severely injure the opponent, yet even touching was difficult.

After a long entanglement, it finally found an opportunity, activating the demon race's talent - Earthquake, disrupting the opponent's dodging habit.

Only now did it find a chance, hoping to seize the opponent.

Once Li Zheng was caught, it would crush him with ease!

However...

Li Zheng also sneered, looking up at the Frenzied Demon: "You've been tricked!"

From the last use of "Short Distance Teleportation" until now, exactly a minute had passed.

At this point, the Eye Demon War Boots were fully recharged!

"Short Distance Teleportation!"

The ability was activated decisively, Li Zheng instantly appeared at the side of the Frenzied Demon, raising his right arm to strike, stabbing out with a sword.

"Passing Swift · Exoskeleton Enhanced Edition!"

This move of Passing Swift had a fierce momentum, originally pursuing speed with a thrust, further enhanced by the exoskeleton's tremendous power, the increase was terrifying.

Ice blue gathered at a point, the sword shot out like a rainbow, even piercing the air with a slight whistling.

Swoosh!

"Moo..."

The Frenzied Demon twisted its waist, trying to turn and defend with its bone rod.

But, originally not being proficient in speed, where could it find the time?

Plop!

The longsword pierced through black skin, reaching deep into the flesh, penetrating the cervical vertebra, emerging from the other side of the Frenzied Demon's neck.

Purple blood drops were pushed out by the sword, turning into ice crystals upon hitting the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Ugh ugh ugh~"

With its neck penetrated by a sword, the Frenzied Demon was heavily wounded but not dead.

The bone rod was still in motion; even if it were to die, it wanted to fight until the very end!

"Die!"

Li Zheng twisted his wrist, dragging the longsword fiercely.

"Demonstrative Swordsmanship · Willow Leaf Lightly Brush!"

Plop!

Wow!

The longsword, driven by the brute force of the exoskeleton, forcefully severed most of the Frenzied Demon's neck.

Only a small piece of muscle at the front remained connected, the demon's enormous head drooped weakly, hanging on the chest.

The bone rod halted.

Purple blood sprayed from the cut, showering the surroundings with a foul rain.

Eventually, with a massive hemorrhage, the Frenzied Demon's body fell powerlessly.

[Fallen Abyss, Exploration Degree: 92%]

With the death of the Frenzied Demon, the exploration degree of the instance increased significantly and continued to rise slowly.

Li Zheng exhaled a deep breath, wiped the blood off the sword, and put the weapon away.

This battle forced out almost all of his trump cards.

He pondered, if he had chosen the Extraordinary Level weapon when he met Luo Aiman before, would the battle have been much easier?

But hypotheticals without practical testing would never yield answers.

Even if he had to choose again now, he would still give up the two weapons.

By comparison, the role of a Star Thief was much more useful than some tools like weapons.

Seeing the exploration degree nearing its maximum, Li Zheng no longer delayed, bending down to contact the demon's corpse.

"Decompose!"
