Chapter 145: Chapter 135 Unlock Decomposition Rights (Extra Update with Monthly Tickets)

The group filed through the portal’s light screen, with Li Zheng at the forefront, followed by the “little couple” Yan Guang and Phoenix Mountain.

“Isn’t this Mist Island?”

Phoenix Mountain looked around in surprise: “Why isn’t there any mist at all? It’s just that the visibility is a bit low.”

Yan Guang nudged him with his elbow and lifted his chin forward, signaling him to look over there.

Phoenix Mountain strained his eyes in that direction, showing a look of shock: “Is this… is this the island surrounded by mist?”

Li Zheng was also observing the environment. The entrance area was relatively flat, with various weeds and plants growing on the ground.

However, most of these plants were in poor condition, growing low against the ground, with traces of withered weeds visible everywhere.

Further away, a few large rocks emerged from the weeds, covered in moss due to the humid air.

Li Zheng looked up at the sky to see that it was covered with thick mist, as if a massive transparent dome encapsulated the island, keeping the mist out.

The light barely penetrated the mist, making the illumination on the island dim.

“No wonder the plants are so stunted.”

From the entrance extending outward, Li Zheng saw a low grove in the distance, and from where he stood, those trees seemed only about three or four meters high.

“The height of that grove clearly can’t accommodate overly large creatures, so the BOSS shouldn’t be in there.”

Li Zheng speculated carefully to himself: “But we still need to explore it just in case there are creatures hidden inside, which need to be killed to increase exploration progress.”

“In such an island scenario, the enemies faced are most likely biological.”

Xiao Siyuan and Li Chun also entered, walking up to Li Zheng, saying, “Unless there’s an unknown research lab on this island, mechanical biological enemies shouldn’t appear.”

Li Zheng tilted his head: “Not necessarily. Did you forget about that Lost Castle before?

Initially, there were bats and monster wolves, but the final BOSS was still mechanical, so it’s too early to conclude just yet.”

Li Chun, having never experienced a team dungeon, quietly stood by, listening. Little Spider always followed behind her, step by step, wherever she went.

Xiao Siyuan nodded in agreement: “Indeed.”

Li Zheng turned his head, about to ask something when a system notification interrupted him.

[In this special room, a partial decomposition right is unlocked. Each decomposed creature will randomly yield a related material.]

This system notification appeared on the panel of every participating player. After reading it, Li Zheng felt a twinge of excitement in his heart: “It seems you were right, this is indeed a purely biological environment.”

Only in a biological setting is there a need to unlock decomposition rights, allowing the players to obtain enough benefits in this instance.

In contrast, mechanical life usually represents extremely high rewards.

For example, the android No. 7 from the Lost Castle, even its skeletal remains could be decomposed into a large amount of material.

In comparison, killing and decomposing a simple biological creature yields significantly fewer materials than mechanical life.

Xiao Siyuan looked around, listening attentively for a moment: “It’s very quiet. I didn’t hear the noises of animals.”

Li Zheng exchanged a look with him: “Plant-type monsters!”

At that moment, Phoenix Mountain and Yan Guang, who had ventured further during their exploration, suddenly shouted in surprise.

Li Zheng followed the sound to see Phoenix Mountain tripping over something, falling flat and swiftly sliding backward.

Yan Guang, being the closest, stepped forward and grabbed Phoenix Mountain, stopping his movement.

“Let’s go have a look!”

Li Zheng pulled out his Tachi-shaped Ion Cutting Blade, rushing toward the two.

After just a few steps, a massive black shadow flashed past, bringing with it a wave of stinking wind.

“This spider is incredibly fast!”

Seeing that black shadow, Li Zheng was momentarily blinded by the stinking breeze: “If it wasn’t for holding Li Chun, just this speed would give Lin Feng a headache for a while.”

Li Chun still rode on the neck and abdomen junction of the Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider, half-bending her body to avoid the strong wind.

Seeing the close distance, she immediately ordered: “Little spider, help hold him!”

“Hiss!”

The Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider lifted its head with a screech and spat out Strong Spider Silk, sticking it to Phoenix Mountain.

The silk was immensely adhesive, capable of suspending its gigantic and heavy body, let alone sticking to Phoenix Mountain and playing tug-of-war with the unknown entity.

Snap!

The silk adhered to Phoenix Mountain’s arm, and the Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider immediately braked, furrowing several shallow trenches on the ground before pulling back hard.

“Behind my foot, cut it off!”

Phoenix Mountain shouted to Yan Guang, feeling himself being pulled in opposite directions with such force that he feared he might split apart.

Moreover, the position wrapped around his ankle initially hurt, but in such a short time, it had gone numb, losing all sensation.

Clearly, the creature gripping his ankle was highly poisonous, capable of paralyzing nerves.

“Shut up, I know!”

Yan Guang’s face remained cold as he released Phoenix Mountain, hurriedly running to his back.

It was a blood-red vine plant, not only entwining Phoenix Mountain’s ankle but having its tip burrow into his muscle, causing lumps to appear from his ankle, being transported along the vine.

“This damned thing is bloodsucking!”

Yan Guang was thoroughly shocked and dared not delay, lifting his silver-white left arm high and striking the vine with all his might.

Bang!

The vine snapped with a sound like a broken guitar string, and Phoenix Mountain felt the strange force pulling him disappear.

“Wait a second!”

Yan Guang watched wide-eyed as the severed vine slid away, disappearing beneath the cover of the weeds, leaving behind a section still wrapped around Phoenix Mountain’s ankle.

However, the remaining half of the vine clung fervently to life, relentlessly drawing blood from Phoenix Mountain’s body, spraying it from the snapped end onto the ground.

Yan Guang looked at it with pain in his eyes, taking hold of the vine and pulling it out with a yank.

Riiiip!

The vine came out, with a piece of bloody flesh still attached to its tip. A ghastly wound, nearly bone-deep, was left on Phoenix Mountain’s ankle.

Instantly, blood poured out.

“Lao Xiao!” Yan Guang shouted anxiously: “Hurry up!”

“Crazy woman, what’s the hurry!” Phoenix Mountain only felt a tug on his ankle, half of his leg numb and unable to feel pain, thinking it wasn’t serious.

Propping himself up to look at his ankle, he screamed hoarsely: “Lao Xiao, help!”

The Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider retracted its silk when the vine broke. At this moment, Li Chun gently patted its massive head, softly saying: “Little spider, just pull that Black uncle over.”

“Hiss!”

The silk flew out, wrapped around Xiao Siyuan’s waist and with a mighty tug, sent him flying uncontrollably.

The little spider promptly flicked its silk…

“The young girl is smart, has some talent.”

Li Zheng noticed this out of the corner of his eye, nodding inwardly, while his gaze remained fixed on the clump of weeds not far from Phoenix Mountain.

Just then, he saw something move over there.

On an island with no wind, the grass swayed mysteriously, indicating something was hiding in there!
