Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"So you're not a deserter."

Li Zheng sat cross-legged, trying to dispel his fear as he asked, "In that case, have you ever told anyone about the existence of that figure?"

“I didn’t say that.” Zui Xiexiao smiled bitterly, “After all, when I say that, it sounds like an excuse to flee from the battlefield. Perhaps it’s because of the nature of my Tianlong clan. After about 20 years of being infected with that emotion, the fear slowly dissipated, and I returned to my normal life.”

  It turns out that it can dissipate over time?

However, even the warlike Tianlong clan needed more than 20 years to dispel their fear. If it were Li Zheng, it would take even longer if he did not use some tricks.

"Looking back now, those days were really...unbearable to look back on." Zuixie Xiao said sadly, "Sometimes I really don't know whether to hate or thank me, because of that inexplicable fear, after all my tribesmen died in the battle, I was too afraid to die and follow them. When the fear subsided, I had also passed the most impulsive period, but every time I think about it, I always feel bad."

As a warlike member of the Tianlong clan, retreating in the face of battle is a shame.

In addition, all his tribesmen died in the battle, leaving him alone. The guilt he felt must be so heavy that it is unimaginable.

Just like some veterans who have been to the battlefield will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, it is enough to drive a normal person crazy.

"You can survive tenaciously despite everything, that's what your people want to see." Li Zheng recalled the scene he saw at the beginning. The general who comforted Zui Xiexiao at that time might never blame him for retreating in the face of battle. "Someone has to inherit the Tianlong clan's heritage."

"And then it all fell into the hands of some shameless villain!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned inheritance. As soon as he mentioned inheritance, Zui Xiexiao's face was suddenly filled with anger: "Later, I suddenly realized that the trick you used at that time was called retreat in order to advance. You openly disdained the inheritance of my Tianlong clan, which aroused my pride as a Tianlong clan member and made me take the initiative to hand over the inheritance to you!"

"No...you misunderstood." Li Zheng didn't expect that Zui Xiexiao would still be brooding over this matter and starting to settle scores with him. He scratched his head in embarrassment.

He didn't know what to say. Should he tell Zui Xiexiao openly that he had found something better at that time and really didn't like what the Tianlong clan had?

I'm afraid that as soon as these words are uttered, the two will start fighting immediately.

Li Zheng is now busy getting rid of the fear in his heart and has no time to fight with others.

“It doesn’t matter.” Zui Xiexiao waved his hand generously: “Since I took the initiative to pass on the inheritance to you, I will not regret it. This is also my pride as a member of the Tianlong clan.”

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's great that you think so."

“Well, but we must take what you just said seriously.” Zuixiexiao said seriously, “I can’t even fathom your current strength. You can actually implant fear into your soul in an instant. I think the twisted beast we have to deal with now must be even more difficult to deal with!”

Even in the history of the outer city and the battle against the emotional storm, there has never been any relevant record.

  An extremely terrifying thought arose in Zuixiexiao's mind. Is it possible that the emotional storm deliberately allowed the terminal to take away the survivors of all races?

But the means that can truly destroy all races has never appeared before all races?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zui Xiexiao felt a chill in his heart.

If this is true, I am afraid that all races will not have much time to live.

"It's more than difficult."

Li Zheng's face turned pale and suddenly turned red, and then he spat out a mouthful of black blood. There was some unknown substance squirming in the blood.

[Discover the "Inner Demon", capture it and submit it to exchange for 100 fantasy points. ]

Hearing the system prompt, Li Zheng acted quickly, used his internal energy, grabbed it and handed it to the system.

"What is that?" Zui Xiexiao had already seen the squirming thing and was horrified, as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Why does it give me such a weird feeling!"

"Something that is the embodiment of fear." Li Zheng's face looked much better. Originally, the fear emotion was an invisible substance and it was difficult for him to get rid of it.

As a result, after running the magic power through his body for several times, the fear turned into substance and drilled into the tendons and veins like a wild wolf smelling meat, trying to contact the magic power in Li Zheng's body. This also gave him the opportunity to take action. With the unique magic power of this universe and super mental strength, he forced the materialized fear out of his body.

The price was that Li Zheng lost some of his skills and needed to practice again to make up for it.

And this thing is called "inner demon" by the system.

Li Zheng felt that this name was very appropriate.

Fear is also regarded as evil thoughts by orthodox practitioners, and the evil thoughts lurking in the heart are nothing but the inner demons.

"And then?" Zuixie Xiao looked at Li Zheng in shock: "Did you just grab that thing and put it into the storage space?"

Zui Xiexiao never wants to experience the harm of that thing a second time in his life. He is worried that Li Zheng will put it away and use it to harm others in the future.

"No, destroy it." Li Zheng said bluntly: "Of course it is more appropriate to completely destroy this kind of rotten thing."

"You can actually take the initiative to get rid of fear, and even kill it instantly?" Zui Xiexiao was a little unconvinced: "How did you do it?"

"It's okay to tell you." Li Zhengnian told Zui Xiexiao the truth about the inheritance he handed over: "What I practice is quite unique, and it seems to be the nemesis of these things. However, it is not yet certain whether it is safe, so it cannot be promoted on a large scale."

“Is it so magical?”

Zui Xiexiao was surprised but did not ask further questions. After all, the core secrets of everyone's cultivation are not easily revealed to others. Even he kept a few tricks when he handed over the Tianlong clan's inheritance.

"It's not magical, just overbearing."

Li Zheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and felt relaxed for a moment: "I have something else to do, please excuse me."

As he spoke, he looked around and finally raised his head to look at the door above his head.

[I know you are going to the succubus station, go from here. There is a cute little one behind the door, it poses no threat to you. ]

Li Zheng stepped on the ground with one foot, soared into the sky, reached out and grabbed his ID card that he had not used for a long time and swiped it at the door.

Then he got into the door.

"Let's go now." Zui Xiexiao frowned: "I should continue to look for the evil eye. That guy actually dared to return to the matrix. We must find him as soon as possible!"

He was on his way to track down the evil eye when he happened to meet Li Zheng. Seeing that Li Zheng looked unhappy, he deliberately stopped for a moment. Now that Li Zheng had left, it was time for him to get down to business.

Li Zheng looked at the three ghost lions that jumped out in front of him, remembering that it took him a lot of effort to deal with them the first time he encountered them. Now, in his eyes, the three ghost lions were as harmless as house cats. He couldn't help but sneered and waved his hand: "Go, go play somewhere else."

The three ghost lions could not feel Li Zheng's strength, but they saw Li Zheng's contemptuous attitude, and immediately roared and pounced on him.

  Snapped!

A big slap landed heavily on the head of the middle ghost lion. Li Zheng restrained his strength and only knocked the three ghost lions away but did not kill them directly.

After landing, the three ghost lions whimpered a few times, felt dizzy, struggled to get up, and ran away with their tails between their legs.

"You bastard, you have to be taught a lesson before you behave yourself."

Li Zheng had no choice but to follow.

The door that the ghost lion escaped from just happens to lead to the succubus's residence... (End of this chapter)
