Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 97 - 90: Sakura’s Evolution! Diamond Sakura...

"Whoosh!"

The Scale Crow Giant Lizard saw Li Zheng approaching again. Ignoring the spear in its head, it swung its massive tail, lashing out rapidly with a whistling sound.

"Hmph."

Li Zheng snorted coldly, his legs suddenly straightening as he jumped high to dodge the swipe. With a flicker of his thoughts, the flying device behind him spurted out a strong airflow, propelling him like a cannonball forward.

The Scale Crow Giant Lizard’s thick tail was extremely flexible, whipping around Li Zheng like a long whip, but Li Zheng, controlling the flying device, narrowly dodged it.

Getting close, the ham infused with the Fire Element, Li Zheng landed on the back of the Scale Crow Giant Lizard, striking it on the back scales with a stick.

"Dong!"

"Aow~"

Sparks flew, and the scales on the back of the Scale Crow Giant Lizard were scorched slightly black by the intense flames, causing it to howl in pain. Its giant tail recoiled, crashing down towards Li Zheng.

"Whoosh!"

"Sizzle~"

The long tail came crashing down, but Li Zheng was not one to linger in battle. He activated his flying device to quickly fly towards the head of the Scale Armor Giant Lizard.

"Smack!"

Once again, Li Zheng narrowly avoided the long tail of the Scale Armor Giant Lizard, which slammed heavily onto its own back, sending some sparks flying.

The flying device propelled Li Zheng swiftly over the neck of the Scale Armor Giant Lizard, bringing him in front of its head, where a silver-white long spear awaited.

"Last strike!"

In the air, Li Zheng suddenly turned, using the thrust of the flying device to kick the end of the spear.

"Poof!"

"Aow..."

The spear pierced an inch further, stabbing into the brain matter of the Scale Armor Giant Lizard. Its howl of pain suddenly stopped, its entire body’s strength gradually dissipating as it collapsed limply.

"Clap."

Li Zheng landed, looking at the motionless Scale Armor Giant Lizard, not rushing forward to decompose it.

[Playing dead...]

"Quite sly, an ordinary person might really be fooled."

Li Zheng watched the Scale Armor Giant Lizard’s performance with interest. After that kick, this Gold Level creature’s acting far surpassed that of the amateurs, crushing them effortlessly.

Whether it was the relaxation of muscles losing strength or the sudden halt of its howl as if it suddenly choked.

Even after collapsing, with a spear in its head, enduring immense pain, it remained motionless. As if truly dead.

Ten seconds.

The wound on the Scale Armor Giant Lizard’s head, originally frozen, gradually thawed, with trickles of blood dripping down its feathers.

[Playing dead...]

Thirty seconds.

The Scale Armor Giant Lizard remained motionless.

Three minutes.

The blood flow from the Scale Armor Giant Lizard’s head wound increased, and its eyes suddenly opened a tiny slit.

Seeing Li Zheng standing at the extreme range of attack, never taking a step forward, it knew its playing dead plan had failed.

"Aow!"

With a low growl, the Scale Armor Giant Lizard suddenly got up, swinging its thick tail as it attempted to flee.

"Trying to run?"

Li Zheng started to give chase, when the Prelis’ Eye suddenly flashed a prompt.

[Five.]

"???"

Li Zheng was puzzled, and in the next second the number changed to -1.

[Four.]

The Scale Armor Giant Lizard had already turned, spreading its four short and stout claws, running almost as fast as Li Zheng could fly.

[Three...

Oh, straight to one.]

Thud!

With a dull thud, the Scale Armor Giant Lizard disregarded the spear still lodged in its head. It hardly ran two steps before crashing headfirst into a protruding pillar of rock on the ground, the spear penetrating through its brain.

"Ugh..."

The Scale Armor Giant Lizard replicated its earlier playing dead performance.

[Hmm, this time it’s really dead.]

"..."

Li Zheng suddenly recalled a slogan: "Of all the thousands of ways, safety is the first. Escaping without watching the road, and the enemy chuckles."

This Scale Crow Giant Lizard, having lived in this underground cavern for who knows how long, must have been familiar with the environment. Yet, because of the thing on its head, in its panic, it ran and crashed to its death.

"Such misfortune, why do all the battles I encounter today end in such bizarre ways?"

Li Zheng moved forward to decompose the Scale Crow Giant Lizard.

[Obtained: 1000ml of Scale Crow Giant Lizard Blood, +10 Scale Crow Giant Lizard Fresh Meat, +5 Scale Crow Giant Lizard Tail Meat, +1 Scale Crow Giant Lizard Heart Core]

"Oh? This thing even has a Heart Core?"

Li Zheng was pleasantly surprised. Little Sakura’s growth speed could increase a bit more now.

Heart Cores are items consumed by pets, some of which assist them in developing genetic abilities, while others enhance an existing ability of the pet significantly, offering great value.

[Scale Crow Giant Lizard’s Heart Core, Gold Level

Description: Obtainable when decomposing the Scale Crow Giant Lizard. When consumed by a pet, it can significantly enhance physical qualities. (Ineffective for pets of Gold Level and above)

Note: Some pets have a slight chance of physical mutation after consumption.

Note: This mutation may alter the pet’s appearance.

Note: This mutation may lead to a decrease in the pet’s strength.

Old Prel’s advice: Hey, did you see these three "notes"?

Ignore them, the chance is very small!

Moreover, your pet’s personality can reduce the chance of adverse mutation, and even if a mutation occurs, it’s likely to be an advantageous one.]

"Hmm, significantly enhance physical qualities?"

Li Zheng held the Heart Core, looking at Little Sakura in the corner. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

The little creature experienced its first illness since birth, especially during the weak, painful, feverish moments, when all the negative sensations clumped together, its small face scrunched up.

"Whimper..."

Little Sakura reached out with its little claws to feel around, finally grabbing hold of a finger, it sighed in relief, its expression relaxing significantly.

Hugging that finger in its arms, the little guy fell into a stable sleep.

Li Zheng crouched beside Little Sakura, reaching out to pick it up, letting it hold onto his finger.

With the strong cold medicine taking effect, seeing Little Sakura’s condition, Li Zheng had no choice but to wait for its full recovery before continuing his exploration.
