Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 22 Escape! (Thanks to Anna for the 1500 reward)

"Roar!"

Startled, the leader of the rock ice giants awoke suddenly during the time when he should have been unconscious and asleep, and roared to the sky. The roar was like a thunderclap in a clear sky, deafening.

It sensed that some foolish fellow had stolen its treasure.

The blue halo that originally surrounded the giant leader gradually lit up, revealing its original brilliance.

Looking down, I saw a tiny, ant-like creature clutching a red flower, fleeing into the distance.

It was Li Zheng who stole the Rock Ice Fire and fled in panic!
"Ascara K!"

The leader of the rock ice giants' eyes glowed with intense blue light, and a hand with a diameter of over three meters descended from the sky, striking the head of the fleeing Li Zheng.

Boom! !

The ground trembled, dust billowed, and the ant-like creatures didn't even have time to dodge before being covered and crushed by the leader of the rock and ice giants.

How dare such a weak ant steal the sacred artifact of the Ice Giant race?

Overcome!

The leader of the rock ice giants knew that if he slapped that seemingly weak ant, it would surely die. So he slowly raised his hand, wanting to retrieve the lost treasure.

However, the expected bloody and mangled scene did not occur. Instead, the ant, which should have turned into minced meat, twisted strangely, reappeared, and ran away into the distance without looking back.

This scene further enraged the leader of the rock and ice giants.

"Hurricane K!"

Suddenly, the blue light in the eyes of the Ice Giant leader intensified, and with a wide-open maw, a beam of blue light as thick as a bucket shot out.

Where the blue light passed, the temperature instantly dropped by tens of degrees, and ice crystals floated in the air and slowly fell, like a light snowfall.

That's the sight caused by water vapor in the air condensing instantly at extremely low temperatures.

puff.

Silently, the blue light engulfed Li Zheng's figure. In the dim light, the leader of the rock ice giants saw the ant being instantly disintegrated and eventually disappear in the blue light.

"Kara!"

The leader of the ice giants was furious when he couldn't find his stolen treasure on the ground.

It knew perfectly well that the rock ice and fire could never be destroyed by the blue light.

The only possibility is that I've been scammed.

That ant isn't dead yet!

After searching the vicinity, the giant leader discovered that there was another creature behind him that looked exactly like the ant from before.

"As...Karak!"

The ice giant raised its massive foot, intending to crush the ant in its fury.

The leader of the rock and ice giants, standing fifty or sixty meters tall, had a foot nearly six meters long that covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

Li Zheng felt a dark patch appear on the top of his head. When he looked up, his temples throbbed violently.

"This is ridiculous! With feet that big, I curse you to never be able to buy shoes for the rest of your life!"

Li Zheng hurriedly sped up, calculating rapidly in his mind, and realized that there was no way he could escape the coverage of the foot before being crushed.

"So be it!"

Gravity, turn!

As Li Zheng's mind raced, the Gravity Shoes activated, instantly altering the gravity around him.

A pulling force came from ahead, and Li Zheng dragged his feet on the icy path formed after the water had been sprayed, sliding at high speed.

After gravity changed direction, Li Zheng was essentially transformed from running on a plane to jumping off a building. The intense feeling of weightlessness made Li Zheng feel as if he had been suddenly pushed off a rooftop. His internal organs seemed to have shifted, and it felt as if several cats were scratching inside his abdomen, making him want to vomit.

This behavior is extremely dangerous, especially in an environment surrounded by ordinary rock and ice giants; one wrong move and it could turn into a "fall from a building".

boom!
Sizzle.

With a loud bang, the giant leader's attack missed its target.

Li Zheng's feet rubbed against the ground, the ice shards from his shoes mixed with sparks from the friction of metal, swirling and flying everywhere.

"The metal door is about sixty meters away from the giant leader. From my current distance, at my current speed, it will take no more than five seconds to get there."

Li Zheng's brain started working at full speed, calculating the probability of escape.

"As long as the giant leader doesn't unleash that kind of beam of light, my chances of escaping are infinitely high!"

However, that skill is clearly a powerful ultimate move, and it's unlikely that a second one can be used in a short time.

This wave...

Steady!

Li Zheng was somewhat excited, as if he could already see himself escaping, consuming Yan Bingruohuo, and developing dual-gene system.

However, how could the Ice Giant Leader, a boss that is at least Platinum level, only have one skill?
He stumbled and missed a step, then his booming voice rang out again: "Uscara K!"

As the sound subsided, Li Zheng was horrified to find that the ground in front of him, which should have been metallic, was now trembling and deforming.

The next moment, thick icicles rose up from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a frozen forest appeared ahead. "Damn it!"

The slap in the face came so quickly!

Li Zheng immediately altered the gravitational pull, forcefully halting his forward momentum, and gripped the ground tightly with both feet to cushion the inertia.

If your Gravity Shoes are damaged, please have them repaired promptly.

"Pudakara K!"

Before they could even check the damage to the gravity shoes, the leader of the rock and ice giants behind them spoke again.

Li Zheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. A strong premonition of death enveloped him, as if he were being stared at by a cobra, sending chills down his spine.

"Go left!"

Gravity shifted again, and Li Zheng was forced to move nearly ten meters to the side, the sound of whistling wind ringing in his ears.

An ice pop nearly three meters in diameter swung past his ear, the violent swinging motion bringing with it a biting gust of wind that suddenly blew into Li Zheng's collar.

"They even have weapons!"

Li Zheng's expression changed. The giant ice staff was much larger than the opponent's hands and feet. If he was hit by it, he would definitely end up as a bloody mess.

"Fight."

Li Zheng glanced at the icy forest not far away, and without the slightest hesitation, he leaped up, turned around, and faced the leader of the rock ice giants.

reverse!

With a thought, sparks flashed on the gravity shoes, a sign that the shoes were damaged.

Fortunately, the gravity shoes were of high quality and did not break down at this critical moment, successfully pushing Li Zheng into the air.

At the same time, the Desert Eagle appeared in my hand, defaulting to normal firing mode. I raised the gun and fired.

There was no aiming process, because Li Zheng himself did not expect that a bronze-level weapon could damage a platinum-level BOSS.

He was simply using the powerful recoil of the Desert Eagle to propel himself backward while he was floating in the air due to gravity reversal.

The ice giant swept its staff across the void, then slowly opened its massive maw. In its terrifying giant eyes, a brilliant blue light shone, as dazzling as two blue suns.

"Pudurikara K!"

As the words fell, the blue halo surrounding the giant leader suddenly shone brightly.

"What kind of skill is this?"

Li Zheng dared not be negligent. He fired several shots in succession, glided backward, and flew over the icy forest.

"The height is about right."

Li Zheng exhaled a breath of white air, only to suddenly realize that the surrounding temperature had dropped by tens of degrees in just over ten seconds!
The fibers filling his clothes were no longer enough to keep out the cold, and his core body temperature was rapidly decreasing.

"Gravity, spin!"

The sudden change in gravity pulled Li Zheng, and his backward flight speed suddenly increased significantly. In addition, with the Desert Eagle firing continuously, the recoil amplified the speed, making it even faster than his previous gliding speed!

"Roar!"

The leader of the rock ice giants had clearly discovered Li Zheng's intentions. Enraged, it once again raised its giant ice staff and swung it diagonally in Li Zheng's direction.

"It's over, it's going to be bad!"

With no way to avoid being suspended in mid-air, Li Zheng experienced a moment of panic.

bang bang bang...

Li Zheng did not notice that, due to the recoil from firing continuously, his arm was raised higher and higher, and his flight angle was deviating.

As the giant ice club drew ever closer, Li Zheng gradually succumbed to despair, mechanically continuing to fire his gun in a final, desperate attempt.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, and Li Zheng's body was suddenly pushed down slightly by the recoil.

That tiny distance meant the giant ice staff practically grazed his nose.

A violent gust of wind swept backward, and Li Zheng lost control, flying out of control.

sizzle.

A spark flashed, black smoke billowed from the gravity shoes, the gravity around Li Zheng returned to normal, and he began to fall.

boo.

As he tumbled uncontrollably, Li Zheng felt as if he had passed through a thin membrane, and a familiar voice reached his ears.

"嘤嘤!"

It's Sakura.

I escaped!

A reader pointed out a problem with Chapter 3 today, so I revised it to improve the reading experience.

However, I accidentally deleted the main text of his comment, which caused this chapter to disappear.

I'm so heartbroken. My popularity was already low, and now I've ruined it all.
