Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 854: The strength has increased greatly, so terrifying!

"What noise are you making... cough!"

Ma Long coughed and pointed upwards: "You just absorbed the black fog that permeated the Sin Domain into your body, and the absorption efficiency is terrifying. The black fog formed a funnel above your head with a diameter of at least one kilometer!"

  Is it that exaggerated?

Li Zheng was quite surprised. He clearly perceived that not much gray air was absorbed into his body, and it was even less after being refined into black air.

"So what are they doing?"

Li Zheng stood up and faced the residents from the outer city.

"They think your act of absorbing the black mist is too dangerous. They're worried that you'll turn into a twisted body in the Tianlong clan's territory, so they want to kill you before you get twisted. Cough... Wow!" Malone coughed again, then spat out a large mouthful of purple-red blood, and his breath became a little weaker.

It is forbidden to use force in the territory of the Tianlong clan, but Li Zheng's act of absorbing the black fog caused all the residents of the outer city to panic, and they actually ignored this restriction and took action inside the golden zone.

If Ma Long hadn't fought to the death to protect him, Li Zheng's training process wouldn't have been so smooth.

"Thanks."

Li Zheng raised his hand and pulled Ma Long behind him, then turned on the translator and said loudly to the residents of the outer city: "Everyone, I was commissioned by the terminal to try to study the black fog, which caused some misunderstandings. This research was developed by the terminal and is very safe. The fact that I can stay awake and talk to you is proof of this."

The terminal will randomly issue some mandatory tasks from time to time, and the tasks are extremely dangerous. The excuse Li Zheng found is most in line with the cognition of the residents of the outer city.

Only mandatory tasks issued by the terminal would cause people to risk being distorted in conducting such unreliable research.

"Next time there is a dangerous mission, inform the surrounding outer city residents in advance."

In the crowd, a mechanical voice came from under a black robe: "The terminal does not care about the life or death of the executor when issuing tasks, but we are innocent."

Among the outer city residents who can appear in the Tianlong clan’s territory, some are afraid of death and some are not.

But everyone thought that they could die in the battle with the twisted body, at least that would be a worthy death.

But it would be too unfair if some unlucky person who was issued a mandatory task by the terminal died inexplicably.

A group of black-robed men slowly retreated, knowing that Li Zheng had accepted the "mandatory mission". There were still some figures around him, but now they all retreated to a very far distance, fearing that someone would suddenly become distorted and affect them.

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. All the original power in his body was destroyed, whether it was the genetic abilities such as the Magic Thunder Wings that he absorbed at the beginning or the genetic matrix developed by Yan Bujin later, they were all destroyed completely.

Now Li Zheng only has the power he gained from practicing magic just now in his body, and because of his special physique, he can't even judge how strong he is now.

Except for a few moves learned from Zhan Zhouzhou, all other previous fighting methods need to be redeveloped.

"How is your injury?" Li Zheng turned around and asked Ma Long: "Can you recover?"

He didn't know if Malone's current condition could be cured by the treatment methods developed outside the city.

"Yes, but it will take time." Ma Long was exhausted, but he forced himself to smile bitterly and said, "Those guys showed no mercy when they attacked. If I hadn't turned into this horrible state, I would have been torn to pieces by them in one encounter."

For a moment he didn't know whether he should be glad that it had turned out like this.

Li Zheng took out a bottle of healing liquid and handed it to Ma Long: "Try to see if this thing works on you."

Ma Long recognized that this was something for healing injuries and took it in his hand: "Thank you."

His personal space disappeared, and all the items and props he had collected and accumulated were thrown away.

After drinking the liquid medicine, Ma Long closed his eyes and felt it for a while: "It's useless. It has no effect on me."

Hearing this, Li Zheng frowned slightly: "It should be that your body has completely turned into a substance completely different from that of the Ten Thousand Races, so the healing medicine has no effect."

This is a problem. Ma Long's injury is very serious. Without the help of healing items, it is unknown how long he can wait relying on his body's self-healing ability.

"Indeed."

Ma Long spat out a crystal from his mouth: "Comparatively, my intuition tells me that I need these to heal my injuries."

Twisted magic crystal?

A hint of realization flashed across Li Zheng's eyes.

That's right.

Malone is now a twisted body, so the strong side effects of the twisted magic crystal on other people may become a tonic for him.

"Since it's useful, don't be polite to me." Li Zheng waved his hand generously: "Use it freely. If it's not enough, I'll go and kill another batch for you."

"That's enough."

Ma Long was sweating. Li Zheng had just killed at least a thousand twisted beasts in one charge. Each twisted beast represented a twisted magic crystal.

Thousands of twisted magic crystals are stored in the space in Malone's abdomen. Not to mention curing his injuries with so many twisted magic crystals, Malone even feels that if he absorbs all of them, his strength may be further enhanced.

However, it is hard to say whether there will be any side effects, and ordinary people absorb the energy in the twisted magic crystal very slowly, unlike Mr. Li who absorbs spirit stones one by one in the blink of an eye, as easily as cracking melon seeds.

Li Zheng waited for a long time, but Ma Long did not see any improvement, so he intended to go out and find some twisted beasts to test his current strength.

But thinking of how the other person had been diligently guarding him while he was meditating and practicing, Li Zheng gave up the idea, sat down next to Ma Long, and took out a spirit stone to play with it in his palm.

He didn't dare to practice at this moment.

First, during the practice just now, I found that I had temporarily reached a bottleneck period, and the effect of continuing to practice would be minimal.

Secondly, once he started practicing, he would lose control of the outside world and his sense of time. In a place like the Sin Domain, it would be easy to cause some uncontrollable consequences.

So he just played with the spirit stone out of boredom, while thinking about what to do next.

First of all, it has been confirmed that the Wan Xie Demon Art can be practiced by absorbing the black fog of the Sin Realm, and judging from his personal current practice results, this practice does not seem to have any side effects.

But as I said before, he knew that he had a special physique, so the results and process of his training could not be used as a reference.

Therefore, in order to get more accurate results, he should find a group of people with a spirit of sacrifice, pass on the skills of the Wan Xie Demon Art, and then give them a batch of spirit stones to try and experience, and use multiple cases to confirm whether there are really no side effects. "But the magic skills clearly state that the more you practice, the stronger the spiritual energy in your body, the more uncontrollable it will be, and the result will eventually be an explosion and death."

Li Zheng reviewed his own experience and found that apart from the feeling that the spiritual energy absorbed into his body during cultivation seemed to have intelligence, he did not have any more feelings.

Perhaps it was his special physique that completely tamed the spiritual energy, or perhaps it was because this world was not the same as the world that could not be explained, the rules of the spiritual energy had also changed.

Or maybe I haven't cultivated to the point of losing control, or maybe...

"Could it be that mental power is at work?"

Li Zheng had some ideas in his mind.

He had previously speculated that the principle of the materialization of spiritual bodies was the same as the "primordial spirit" in Yan Bujin's world, and that both were some kind of similar transformation of soul form.

  As for the reason why aura possesses "intelligence", could it be that the so-called "aura" itself is some kind of life form at the microscopic level?

However, such microscopic life forms do not conform to the rules of producing "intelligence" at all, so "aura" may also be a whole. They share the same "brain", and this "brain" is actually a kind of existence similar to mental power.

Based on this speculation, perhaps a strong mental force can check and balance the "spiritual energy" or even restrain it, so that the spiritual energy will not dare to act rashly after entering the body?

Similarly, the last guess can also be associated with the isolation of this world from the endless world.

If spiritual energy really shares the same "brain", then the barrier between the worlds isolates the spiritual energy from the "brain", so it is possible that the spiritual energy here is not as violent as Yan Bujin said?

These are just speculations at the moment, and we need enough cases as comparisons to draw conclusions.

Experiments take time, and what Li Zheng...or rather, the people in the entire matrix lack the most is time.

At this time, there are only two years left before the emotional tide sweeps across Blue Star. In just two years, unless hundreds or thousands of people with the same monstrous physique as Li Zheng appear, it will be too late.

"It would be great if the original body's cells could continue to clone."

The terminal said that the original body had completely died, but the clone itself had unbreakable shackles and could not be cloned again based on the clone.

Therefore, Li Zheng was the only one left with the "formless body".

"wrong!"

Thinking of this, Li Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "I am not the only clone in existence. There are a large number of rebellious clones in the Destiny Organization in the wilderness. If I can capture them and brainwash them with a memory extraction device, maybe I can use them for my own benefit!"

Li Zheng was eager to try. If he was not responsible for finding Captain Jiutian, he would have wanted to go back to the outer city to find the terminal and discuss the action plan.

The Destiny Organization would never have thought that the originally passive Li Zheng would actually think of taking the initiative to look for them.

After waiting for a long time, after Malone absorbed another twisted magic crystal, he finally exhaled a breath: "The injury is stable. As long as there is no fierce battle, I will not die for the time being."

"Then let's go."

Li Zheng stood up and said, "You just need to follow me. If you encounter a fight, let me handle it."

He didn't know how strong he was after practicing the Wan Xie Demon Art, but at least he shouldn't be weaker than he was before practicing it.

After all, the source of his former strength was vulnerable to the power gained from the practice of Wan Xie Mo Gong.

"why?"

Ma Long stood up and walked behind Li Zheng: "Why do I feel like a piece of trash in front of you even though I've become stronger?"

No matter before or after Li Zheng practiced the Wan Xie Mo Gong, Ma Long had an intuition when looking at Li Zheng - if he was Li Zheng's enemy, he would die within three moves!

"Don't underestimate yourself. Among those who entered the Matrix together, you are already very capable." Li Zheng said sincerely.

At least after becoming a state that is infinitely close to a distorted body, he is still able to maintain a clear mind and there is no sign of being mentally affected by the Sin Domain for the time being. Just this alone is extraordinary.

The two walked out of the Tianlong clan's fighting spirit area and once again headed deep into the sin domain.

This time the two were not in a hurry to travel. After Li Zheng lost his Thunder Wings, he temporarily had no means to fly freely, so he could only choose to walk with Ma Long.

There were a few flying devices left in the capsule residence before, but using that kind of thing to fly in battle could not be as freely controlled as the Thunder Wings, and its speed seemed a little slow for Li Zheng today.

What's more, Li Zheng wants to find a few twisted beasts to practice and test his current strength, so he decides to go slow.

As he went deeper, Li Zheng found a group of twisted beasts wandering around aimlessly.

He was about to step forward and take action, but he discovered a strange phenomenon.

In the past, as long as he appeared in the sight of the twisted beasts, they would immediately launch a crazy attack.

But this time, when he was almost in front of the twisted beasts, those things turned a blind eye to him and Malone.

"Has the being behind this changed his mind?"

Li Zheng frowned slightly, thinking in his heart: "Or is it that I use the black fog of the sin domain to cultivate my magic, so I am regarded as one of the same kind by the twisted beast to some extent?"

While thinking, he raised his hand and summoned the Black Dragon Spear, crouched slightly, and jumped up instantly.

The man swept the gun tip across the air.

  Bang!

A twisted beast as huge as a mountain was unexpectedly shot away thousands of meters by him with a single shot. All the twisted beasts along the way were knocked down and rolled into a ball.

"What a strong power!" Li Zheng was delighted.

He clearly did not deliberately mobilize the power of the Wan Xie Demon Art when he swung the spear just now, but the sphere in his dantian seemed to sense something and actively emitted a stream of power to infuse the spear in his hand.

  Such a terrifying force was just a casual attack. If he added the force of the sword moves, even a deep purple-level twisted beast would not be his match!

It is worthy of being a fantasy-level technique transmitted from the world of immortal cultivation.

Horror!
