Chapter 131: Battle of the Tunnel: Part 1

Zhu Zhiquan subconsciously looked toward the direction of the haunted house, rubbing his hands in excitement as he said, "How many people are inside?"

After listening intently, Zhao Yuxin replied, "Only two people; I reckon they are controlled by that cloaked player."

Zhu Zhiquan felt a bit disappointed after hearing this, but he leaned against Zhao Yuxin and asked, "Azhao, do you think I can go and wipe out those two players in the haunted house now? No one has given me a chance to practice my skills for so long, I'm going to burst!"

Zhao Yuxin rolled her eyes at him, raised the Xunfeng Crossbow, and said, "Alright, alright, I really don't know why you're so bellicose! Forget it, wait until my Protective Coloration talent is activated before you go."

Upon hearing Zhao Yuxin's agreement, the smile at the corner of Zhu Zhiquan's mouth could barely be contained. Zhao Yuxin struck a suitable pose and quickly triggered her Protective Coloration talent, her body blending in with the surrounding colors.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin's talent activated, Zhu Zhiquan ordered the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to dig a tunnel toward the haunted house.

At this moment inside the haunted house, there were indeed players communicating. It was just that there weren't only two, but four.

It could be seen that two players were covered by a barrier, only their voices could not be transmitted out, and outsiders could not see these two players either.

Outside the barrier, a woman said to the others, "Do you think those two can beat the master?"

The man beside her said, "I think those two are still a bit lacking compared to our master, but will that man and woman the master mentioned really come to ambush us?"

At this time, they received a private message from the two players inside the barrier, and then the four of them talked through the panel across the barrier.

Just as they were speaking freely, the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine emerged from the ground, brushing against the edge of the barrier. Following closely behind was Zhu Zhiquan, holding the Xuangang Spear and crawling out along the tunnel; a thick, intense killing intent emanated from Zhu Zhiquan's body.

The two people outside the barrier had just prepared to draw their weapons when Zhu Zhiquan spun his body in mid-air, using the rotating Xuangang Spear in his hand to sweep both of them to the ground simultaneously.

The Green Leaf Burrowing Vine quickly climbed onto Zhu Zhiquan's waist. Just as Zhu Zhiquan had a sudden impulse to spin the Xuangang Spear on the spot to perform a spear flourish, his peripheral vision caught two axe blades suddenly emerging from the void and hacking toward him.

Zhu Zhiquan had no choice but to change his move midway, holding the Xuangang Spear horizontally in front of him to block the axe blades' attack.

At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan saw the arms of two people flickering in the void, with layers of ripples at the ends of the arms, looking as if they were reaching out from some space.

But this also exposed his back to the two people outside the barrier; the man among them stood up and took out a sickle like that of the Grim Reaper from his body.

At the critical moment, Zhu Zhiquan activated his Boiling Blood talent, pushed hard to shove the two axes away, and then took the opportunity to drill back into the tunnel to remain vigilant.

The two people saw only Zhu Zhiquan and were wondering where the other person had gone, when a tiny black shadow pierced through the arm of one of the men, the intense, sharp pain making him and the woman beside him scream out loud.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin make her move, Zhu Zhiquan launched a sudden assault, thrusting the Xuangang Spear through the man's chest.

Just as Zhu Zhiquan was preparing to deal with the woman, the man whose chest had been pierced not only didn't die, but instead raised his sickle and slashed toward Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan used the Xuangang Spear to block the sickle, and the woman also seized the opportunity to take out a Bone Mace and smash it into Zhu Zhiquan's abdomen.

If it weren't for the protection of the Special Combat Suit, Zhu Zhiquan would surely have been in grave danger from this blow; the immense force slammed him against the invisible barrier.

The two people inside the barrier wanted to grab Zhu Zhiquan, but relying on his precise prediction, Zhu Zhiquan crouched down, just managing to dodge the two people's arms.

Soon, the second arrow shot by Zhao Yuxin, infused with Magic Power, penetrated the wall of the haunted house and hit the man's arm again.

After Zhu Zhiquan dodged another hammer blow from the woman, he swept the Xuangang Spear with force, sweeping the woman into the barrier.

The man had been severely wounded multiple times, yet it had no effect; instead, he launched an even more violent attack on Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan activated his Nightmare Demon Eye to carefully observe the man's body, discovering that his body was like a lump of jelly; no matter how high the damage, he could avoid it by relying on this peculiar body.

This immediately caused Zhu Zhiquan's fighting spirit to soar, and with a large stride, he arrived in front of him to engage in battle once more.

Outside the haunted house, the two sides were fighting fiercely, with cracks of various sizes appearing on the ground and the Ferris wheel. Ma Ge looked at his two already exhausted opponents and said to the equally exhausted swordsman, "Brother, it looks like victory is in our grasp!"

The swordsman panted heavily and said, "Yes... yes, by the... by the way, can you conjure a car? Huff, puff~ I'm exhausted!"

Ma Ge fired another shot at the opposite side, held his forehead, and replied, "No, my brain is throbbing! I can't conjure one for the time being."

Seeing that Ma Ge did not agree, the swordsman had no choice but to grumble as he commanded the surrounding Flying Swords to form a Sword Formation and attack the opponent again.

Beside the haunted house, Zhao Yuxin confirmed that Zhu Zhiquan was fine through her Bat Wing Ear, then shifted her gaze back to the great battle around the Ferris wheel.

"Buzz, buzz~ It seems Ajiu was right; the cloaked side lacks mobility and will be dragged to death at any time," Zhao Yuxin said while lying on the ground, evaluating the situation.

Just when everyone thought Ma Ge and the others were about to win the battle, the player holding the Brush suddenly took out a Bell and shook it at Ma Ge and the others.

Ding-a-ling~

Instantly, Ma Ge and the swordsman felt a bit dizzy, and even Zhao Yuxin and the players in the haunted house were affected.

By the time Zhao Yuxin reacted, Ma Ge and the swordsman had already been beheaded by the cloaked player. At the same time, she also noticed that a large number of cracks had appeared on the surface of the Bell.

The player holding the Brush put the Bell away, then looked at Zhao Yuxin across the distance.

Zhao Yuxin felt her hair stand on end from being stared at; one had to know that the distance between them was over five hundred meters, and there were all kinds of buildings blocking the way in between! Even if one stopped on the spot to observe carefully, one might not necessarily see her!

At this time, the cloaked player took two bottles out of his backpack and gave one of them to the player with the Brush.

Zhao Yuxin immediately touched the Crossbow Bolt in the arrow slot, then fired the bolt from the Xunfeng Crossbow.

The Crossbow Bolt crossed the long distance and flew toward the two people under the Ferris wheel. The cloaked player immediately blocked in front of the player with the Brush, condensing his remaining Magic Power in front of himself.

Boom!

An explosion rang out; the Covering Qi in front of the cloaked player was shattered, and he and his teammate behind him were blown away together, while the bottles in their hands fell somewhere unknown.

Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn't reacted yet, Zhao Yuxin immediately dived into the tunnel and reloaded the Crossbow Bolt.

…………

Inside the haunted house, Zhu Zhiquan heard the explosion outside and immediately jumped back into the tunnel, running toward Zhao Yuxin's original position and dropping a few Landmine Pinecones at the intersection.

The four players who had been fighting Zhu Zhiquan saw him running and jumped into the tunnel together. Among them, the player suspected of having an immortal body stepped on a Landmine Pinecone, and then an explosion rang out, shaking the entire tunnel.

Zhu Zhiquan ran through the tunnel while enduring the falling dirt, encountering Zhao Yuxin, who was also covered by the falling dirt, halfway through.

"Green Leaf Burrowing Vine, dig this way quickly!" Seeing Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Yuxin ordered the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine on his waist.

The Green Leaf Burrowing Vine immediately jumped off Zhu Zhiquan's waist and began digging in the direction Zhao Yuxin pointed.

Zhu Zhiquan was just wondering why Zhao Yuxin was in such a hurry to dig a new tunnel, but soon, a continuous metallic sound came from behind Zhao Yuxin.
