Chapter 96: Chapter 89: Scale Crow Giant Lizard (Thanks to "Magic Domain Romance" for the 1500 points reward!)

As usual, ignoring the nonsense from Prelis’ Eye, Li Zheng set down the little Sakura he was holding and grasped the stone box lid with both hands.

"Thud!"

With a light exertion of his arms, the seemingly heavy box lid turned out to be unexpectedly light. With just a slight flick, it opened to the limit and swung back to hit the altar with a dull sound.

Bending over to look into the box, Li Zheng was momentarily dazzled by its contents: "Wow! So many Power Cores!"

The box was filled with round Power Cores of various sizes, ranging from Black Iron to Silver Level.

"One, two, three..."

Li Zheng counted them, ultimately collecting twelve Black Iron Level Power Cores, eight Bronze Level, and three Silver Level.

"Speaking of which, ever since teaming up with Phoenix Mountain yesterday, am I finally moving from bad luck to a lucky streak?"

This was the first time Li Zheng obtained Power Cores through legitimate means during exploration, and the quantity was quite considerable.

This was the first time in five days.

Li Zheng stowed away all the Cores and eyed the box that housed them: "Should I take this thing along too?"

[The limestone box has no use other than storing some things.]

"Hmm, then let’s take it."

Li Zheng gave the box a pat, and the top of the altar was emptied.

After all, his capsule residence had plenty of space, capable of collecting gray-quality items that were previously hard to store.

"Seems like there’s nothing else..."

After looking around, Li Zheng lowered his gaze to the altar at his feet.

[Altar?

If it could still be dismantled, then it is indeed an altar.

Unfortunately,

it is now a craftwork!]

"Does that mean it can’t be dismantled?"

Li Zheng squatted down and pressed a hand on the altar: "Decompose!"

[Invalid action.]

The Matrix System displayed an official notification, completely dispelling Li Zheng’s thoughts.

"In that case, let’s go."

He picked up Little Sakura and flew down from the altar, searching for several metallic doors.

[There are some materials behind this door.]

[Behind this door is a Silver Level creature that strayed in, already in explosive conflict with the originally residing Bronze Level creature community. If you go in now, you might get some advantage from their fight.]

[There’s nothing behind this door.]

[Behind this door is a slumbering Gold Level creature, whose abilities are weakened during the day, not your match.]

[There’s some food and some equipment behind this door.]

"Oh... this got interesting."

After reading all the information, Li Zheng felt a bit problematic.

He was quite tempted by the room with the Bronze vs. Silver conflict, as it would allow him to obtain some materials for further enhancing his strength.

But, looking at the long-term perspective, clearly, the Gold Level creature’s room held more value.

After a moment of indecision, Li Zheng swiped the card at the entrance of the Gold Level creature’s room.

"Bronze and Silver creature materials can still possibly be bought, but Gold Level creature materials are rarer, and..."

Preparing two weapons, Li Zheng cradled Little Sakura in his elbow and stepped inside.

"Moreover, the Gold Level potions require a wide variety of materials, so since there’s an opportunity now, it’s better to collect early."

The fifth day, the third room.

He crept in quietly, and the vibrant colors in front of him faded, suddenly dimming the lights considerably.

"Another underground cave?"

Li Zheng looked around, seeing rocks everywhere, with stalactites hanging down, dripping liquid.

[Stalactic Stone Milk, Black Iron Level, Ingredient

Description: A special liquid produced in a cave three thousand meters underground, rich in various minerals, milky white, fragrant, and sweet.

How long has it been since you’ve drunk... hmm, milk?]

"Truly a game world, even stones can produce milk..."

Li Zheng didn’t rush to take out his water bottle to collect, because not far away lay a creature the size of a pony, asleep.

[Scale Crow Giant Lizard, Gold Level

Description: Nocturnal, during the daytime its abilities are greatly weakened, specializing in tail whipping attacks.

Weak point?

No need for a weak point!

Take out your spear and stab it to death!]

The Scale Crow Giant Lizard had a bird’s head like a crow with feathers atop.

However, starting from the neck, it abruptly turned into a giant lizard body covered in scales, shining coldly.

A tail approximately two meters long trailed behind it, sturdy and powerful, with a row of plate-like protrusions along the top.

"The distance between me and the Scale Crow Giant Lizard is about fifteen meters. With my current physique, I’d estimate conservatively that I can charge over in less than two seconds.

So if I don’t act, then I must ensure a kill when I do!"

He stored away the ham and Desert Eagle, pulling out the Titanium Alloy Spear, grasping it with both hands to get a feel.

Then setting Little Sakura aside, Li Zheng stood up, cocking his neck as a warm-up.

In the next moment, the Bronze++ physique exploded in a roar, hefting the spear single-handedly, Li Zheng’s gaze locked onto the forehead spot of the Scale Crow Giant Lizard.

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Ice Element!"

Blue frigid energy swirled, coiling around the spear like a coiled blue dragon.

"Silver Level weapon combined with Ice Element, adding armor-piercing properties, enough to break through a Gold Level creature’s defense."

"What’s more, this is a weakened Gold Level creature?"

Li quickly dashed to the front of the Scale Crow Giant Lizard, noticing its eyelids twitch, seemingly sensing the commotion, nearly waking up.

"Now!"

Li Zheng shouted, thrusting the spear straight, aiming directly at the Scale Crow Giant Lizard’s forehead, piercing right through.

"Puff!"

"Roar~" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

The spear pierced through flesh and bone, reaching just a whisker away from the brain, the pain instantly awakening it.

With a painful roar, the Scale Crow Giant Lizard jerked its head, following the thrust’s force, neutralizing Li Zheng’s attack.

With the spear embedded in bone, Li Zheng couldn’t pull it out quickly, letting go as the Scale Crow Giant Lizard moved.

"Gold Level creature bones are really tough. If it was a Silver Level, when it shook its head earlier, I might have attempted to pry its skull open directly."

"Damn it!"

Missing the kill, Li Zheng’s expression slightly changed, pulling out the Desert Eagle, raising his hand to fire two vibrant blue bullets, also imbued with the Ice Element, towards the creature’s eyes.

"Roar!"

"Snap!"

The Scale Crow Giant Lizard abruptly turned and whipped its tail, the strong and powerful tail creating afterimages, swatting the bullets off course, sending them into the shadows of the cave.

"Pft Pft."

The two bullets, possibly hitting the cave wall, made soft sounds.

"Retreat!"

Both the Desert Eagle and Snake Grass Needle only being Bronze Level items were starting to struggle against the Gold Level creature.

Yesterday, against the Three-headed Ghost Lion, the few Snake Grass Needles that lacked genetic ability attachment were even shattered by a single lion’s roar.

This time, the Scale Crow Giant Lizard even swatted away the ability-attached bullets with its tail.

A two-meter-long spear stuck in its head, the wound frozen by the Ice Attachment, causing no blood to flow.

"Roar!"

The Scale Crow Giant Lizard shook its head, trying to dislodge the Titanium Alloy Spear, but the spearhead and bone were so tightly wedged that it couldn’t break free in the short term.

"While you’re indisposed!"

Li Zheng took out the ham, charging forward once again.
