Chapter 134: Underground Village

Zhao Yuxin kept struggling, thinking Zhu Zhiquan wanted to do something shameful with her, so when Zhu Zhiquan put her down, she closed her eyes and waited for Zhu Zhiquan's next move.

As it turned out, Zhu Zhiquan took out a military overcoat and threw it to her, then, without another word, got out of the vehicle to practice spear techniques with the Durian Warrior.

A moment later, Zhao Yuxin emerged from the carriage draped in the military overcoat. At this time, the Ice Cream Cactus handed a small, delicate snowman to her, a look of anticipation on its face.

Zhao Yuxin took the snowman from the Ice Cream Cactus, preparing to praise it. Suddenly, an earthquake began again, shaking Zhao Yuxin so hard she nearly lost her footing.

However, it seemed that because this was frozen ground, the structure was relatively solid; aside from being a bit unsteady, there was no other danger.

At the same time, the snowman in Zhao Yuxin's hands accidentally fell to the ground and was instantly smashed to pieces.

"Ugh~"

Watching the work it had labored to create get smashed, the Ice Cream Cactus's eyes welled up with tears, and the tears were about to gush out at any moment.

"Ah... don't cry, don't cry, Baobao don't cry. Come, let's play a snowball fight, shall we?" Zhao Yuxin hurriedly used the little snow remaining in the passage to make a snowball. "Come, look, this is how you play a snowball fight, sigh~"

Plop~

The snowball hit the Ice Cream Cactus. After being hit, the Ice Cream Cactus immediately showed interest in this game, and then it also made a snowball and hit Zhao Yuxin.

Then the two of them threw them back and forth at each other; if there wasn't enough snow, they would scrape a little more off the frozen ground to keep playing. During this time, some snowballs were thrown at Zhu Zhiquan and the Durian Warrior, but they only had eyes for practicing their spear techniques, so they did not participate.

Ding-a-ling~

Zhu Zhiquan pressed a button he was holding, then said to the Durian Warrior: "Alright, the morning training ends here. Go back to the carriage."

The Durian Warrior took the Xuangang Spear and entered the carriage. Zhu Zhiquan watched Zhao Yuxin and the Ice Cream Cactus, who were still playing, took a bag out of the carriage to collect some snow, then invited them back into the carriage, while he himself took charge of driving.

While making snowmen with the Ice Cream Cactus, Zhao Yuxin asked Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, where did these heating devices come from?"

"Unboxing." Zhu Zhiquan responded indifferently to Zhao Yuxin's question from the driver's seat, his hands gripping the handle tightly.

Zhao Yuxin nodded, preparing to talk to Zhu Zhiquan about the Tricycle again, but at this moment her ears twitched, and she immediately changed the subject: "Ajiu, is there a building similar to a dungeon ahead?"

Zhu Zhiquan looked ahead through the vehicle lights and saw that there was indeed a complex of buildings like an underground city, but there were very few pedestrians on the streets, and every household had their lights off, adding a touch of desolation to the atmosphere.

Zhu Zhiquan did not answer Zhao Yuxin's question, but instead drove the Tricycle into the underground city.

When the pedestrians on the road saw the Tricycle enter the city, they immediately ducked into their respective houses and shut their doors and windows tight. Before Zhu Zhiquan and the others could react, a group of people holding weapons walked toward them.

Under the illumination of the vehicle lights, Zhu Zhiquan saw that these natives looked no different from them, except that their eyes were particularly small, and their noses were long, thick, and shaped like short sticks.

And this group of people walking toward them appeared to be the guards here, wearing clothes primarily made of various furs, and their weapons included: single-edged swords with shields, long spears, Crossbows, and long sticks that looked like magic staves.

The leader among them wore a black fur coat, held a long sword with five gems in his hand, and had a scar on his face running from his forehead to the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the other party was maintaining a defensive stance, Zhu Zhiquan turned off the Tricycle and jumped out of the driver's seat; Zhao Yuxin and the Durian Warrior also jumped out of the carriage. At the same time, to ensure sincerity, everyone who got out was unarmed.

Only the Ice Cream Cactus hid in the carriage, not daring to go out, leaning behind Jiaoyang Kuikui and not daring to make a sound.

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan and the others come out of the big guy, the leader also realized that the other party might want to negotiate, so he stuck his sword into the ground and waited for the other party's inquiry.

Zhao Yuxin walked a few steps to the native leader and bowed to him; Zhu Zhiquan also came to Zhao Yuxin's side and bowed to the leader as well.

Seeing them perform the bowing gesture, the leader placed his hand on his chest, leaned his body slightly forward, and said: "I am Yage, the village chief of Buyelu Village. I want to know why you have come to our village?"

Zhao Yuxin said to Yage: "We are travelers passing through here, and we only hope that your village will allow us to pass."

"What is this, so they're just passersby. I thought they were some kind of monster!"

"Shut up!" Yage scolded a young man who was complaining. The young man immediately lowered his head at this shout and switched to muttering under his breath.

It was just that Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear heard everything he muttered, but she didn't hold it against him and continued to discuss the matter of passing through with Yage.

Yage didn't care that Zhu Zhiquan and the others wanted to pass through their village; instead, he instructed them: "After you pass through our village, you must not turn right at the next intersection. Do you understand?"

"Why can't we turn right?" Zhao Yuxin asked in confusion.

But Yage did not answer her and instead led his team away in the direction they had come from.

When the surrounding villagers saw the village chief withdraw, they realized they weren't bad people, so they all walked out, surrounded them, and asked them all sorts of questions.

"Little sister, what is your horse called? How come it can glow?"

"Little sister, where are you from? Do you want to come to our house as guests?"

"Brother, do you want to smoke? We have unique mushrooms here that can be used as tobacco."

……………

The questions made Zhao Yuxin feel noisy, her ears began to ache faintly, and she even felt a bit dizzy.

"Stop~" Zhu Zhiquan also couldn't stand the villagers' chattering, so he scolded them: "If you have any questions, ask them one by one."

The villagers felt that it was a bit impolite for all of them to crowd around and ask questions, so they all quietly stepped back.

Seeing the villagers step back, Zhu Zhiquan and the Durian Warrior supported Zhao Yuxin to prevent her from falling. Once Zhao Yuxin was no longer disturbed by the villagers, she gradually recovered.

As she gradually cleared her head, Zhao Yuxin asked: "Um, why did the village chief say we couldn't turn right after leaving your village just now, and what were the village chief and the others doing just now?"

A young man in the crowd replied: "Hey, outsiders, you don't know, there are large numbers of monsters near our village. Whenever those monsters need a lot of food, they come to snatch our food.

Just the day before yesterday, my mother was snatched away by those monsters; I reckon she's already turned into white bones by now. Once I finish harvesting mushrooms in the fields, I'm going to join the Militia Group to avenge my mother!" As he said this, the young man clenched his fists.

Zhao Yuxin looked at the villager's emotional state and comforted him: "I'm sorry, I brought up your sad memory."

The villager waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this has nothing to do with you."

Zhao Yuxin: "Since this place is attacked by monsters, then the village chief and the others must be preparing to defend against the monsters, right? When do those monsters usually come?"

Before any villager could answer, a shout came from the end of the village: "Everyone, pay attention, the monsters are coming again!"
