Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1103 803: Encountering Sang Biao Again

"Master."

Mudala treated his wound and asked, "Are we going back to the Golden Light Zone?"

"Not for now." Li Zheng turned to Mirel and said, "Originally, I wanted to save resources, but in the end, I took a Nourishing Yuan Pill, which feels a bit wasteful."

Until a substitute for the Nourishing Yuan Pill is found, consuming one means one less pill available.

The days ahead are long. If not for the danger just now, with just a state of exhaustion, Li Zheng hoped to recover through rest.

Now the Nourishing Yuan Pill has directly restored his strength, and the excess medicinal power has completely dissipated during the battle just now, leaving him with enough energy to gather some Twisted Magic Crystals.

Mirel suggested, "I recommend staying nearby to wait for the next batch of twisted creatures to come through, otherwise rushing in recklessly could lead to encountering unknown dangers."

Nearby, after two rounds of clearing twisted creatures, there's a vacuum zone, perfect for lying in wait.

Li Zheng looked into the distance. Based on the information from Old Pu, the next batch of twisted creatures would take over six hours to arrive here, giving Mudala enough time to recover from her injuries.

Releasing the capsule shelter again, Li Zheng led the two inside, waved to summon healing medication, and handed it to Mirel, "Apply this to her wounds. I'll wait outside."

Since Mirel minded him being too close to Mudala, it's better to keep some distance during such sensitive times.

"Don't go far." Mirel said, taking the medication, "The Sin Domain is too dangerous. If you're not by my side, I feel uneasy."

She feared that for her safety, Li Zheng might make an excuse to abandon her and venture into the Sin Domain alone.

Just like last time in the Fourth Sin Domain.

"Don't worry, I'll be right at the door." Li Zheng smiled at her to reassure her.

Stepping outside, Li Zheng sat at the entrance, asking Old Pu in his mind, "Can you detect what's at the end of the Sin Domain?"

[Too far away to detect.]

"Even my level of spiritual power can't support you in exploring the Sin Domain?" Li Zheng asked internally, "Exactly how vast is the area outside the Matrix?"

[Matrix space?]

Old Pu provided some information: [The very perimeter of the Matrix lies in the Golden Light Zone left by the Celestial Dragon Race. Beyond the Golden Light Zone, the area consists of environments akin to planets formed by celestial collisions. In a sense, you are now in space.]

"What?"

Li Zheng was stunned, "The Golden Light Zone where the Celestial Dragon Race resides is already at the outer edge of the Matrix?"

This means, back then, the Celestial Dragon Race gathered the strength of their entire race, overcame the Emotion Storm, and completely blocked it outside?

Originally, in ancient times, the Sin Domain was just a small area.

In fact, it's not so small, given that it took Li Zheng and his team several hours of rushing to reach the Golden Light Zone from the entrance, short of saying tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Within your detection range, does the Sin Domain have a boundary?" Li Zheng asked another question.

[Yes, if you rush at full speed, you can see the boundary in three days, where it officially borders space, but I do not recommend going there.]

The boundary of the Sin Domain is space, but Old Pu said he couldn't detect the end of the Sin Domain, indicating that the affected environment of the Sin Domain is unimaginably vast.

"Hold on..."

A thought flashed in Li Zheng's mind as he recalled a sentence the Terminal once said: "Water Blue Star is the last piece of Pure Land. Once the Emotion Storm devours it, the entire universe will be completely fallen. Does this mean the Emotion Storm is not as shallow as Zhan Zhouzhou previously depicted nor like the 'floating cloud' we imagined, but has already spread throughout the universe?"

If they intend to completely eliminate the Emotion Storm, they'd need to purify the entirety of the universe?

Just thinking about this possibility, Li Zheng suddenly felt a bit of despair.

The Terminal had been battling the Emotion Storm with the Matrix for countless years; even if they purified it, how long would it take to tackle such a large-scale project of the entire universe?

The future of all races seems, from Li Zheng's perspective of the Sin Domain, endless and elusive.

Li Zheng looked up at the sky where there was a thick layer of Black Mist.

"I haven't seen sunlight, blue skies, or white clouds for a long time." Li Zheng sighed.

In the Matrix Space, Li Zheng had seen a sky of blue skies and white clouds, back then, he thought it might be the path to the "Outer World."

Later, he learned, it was not a real sky but a simulation created by the Terminal using Matrix Space.

"Hmm?"

Li Zheng was lost in thought when his right ear suddenly moved, his body jumped onto the top of the capsule shelter, looking in the direction of the Golden Light Zone.

A person dressed in Concealing Clothing stood quietly there.

Li Zheng glanced at the information from Old Pu, and let down his guard: "Weren't you in the Fourth Sin Domain? How did you come to the Seventh Sin Domain?"

Upon hearing him speak, the person seemed to confirm something, laughed, and said, "When I saw someone boldly leaving the Golden Light Zone, I suspected it was the Pathfinder Lord. Later, two sneaky guys followed, which worried me, and after much hesitation, I came to investigate. It turns out I guessed right, it's really you!"

The newcomer was someone who had helped Li Zheng scare away a Biao Race from Nato in the Fourth Sin Domain, named Sang Biao.

Li Zheng jumped down from the top of the shelter, looked Sang Biao up and down, and asked, "Haven't your wounds healed yet?"

Sang Biao smiled bitterly, "If my injuries were healed, I wouldn't keep hiding in the Sin Domain."

His wounds were caused by his kin, injuring him at the root, with general medical means helpless, even another Biao fellow had no way, only suppressing with strong Life Force.

The Biao Race are belligerent, excel in combat, and have numerous enemies.

While Sang Biao's injuries remain unhealed, he lacks the confidence to leave the Sin Domain and return to the Wilderness.

Only the Sin Domain, where everyone wears Concealing Clothing, allows him to evade the pursuit of his enemies.

"Last time, I revealed my whereabouts to help you, and enemies found me, leading them a merry chase, before finally hiding in the Seventh Sin Domain." Sang Biao looked around and said, "Since the Pathfinder Lord hasn't encountered danger, I'll head back."

He made it here relying entirely on his own formidable Willpower, not Spiritual Power.

After all, he neither possesses the Celestial God Completion Skill of the Celestial Will Organization nor means to consolidate Spiritual Power Nodes. Just reaching here was incredibly difficult, unable to endure much longer.

"No problem."

Li Zheng enveloped him with Spiritual Power, "A rare encounter, come over and chat."

Sang Biao felt the pressure greatly reduced, deeply moved, aware it's Li Zheng's doing.

"The Pathfinder Lord's power growth in such a short time is truly impressive." Sang Biao remarked, "Since the Pathfinder Lord invites, Biao dare not refuse."

Sang Biao's attitude toward Li Zheng has changed significantly. The last time they parted in the Fourth Sin Domain, in Sang Biao's eyes, Li Zheng was merely an appreciated rookie.

Now upon meeting again, Li Zheng has grown into an opponent capable of matching him.
