Chapter 14: Ajiu, do you think the Luo Family Brothers might be bluffing us?

Zhao Yuxin teased Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, I feel like you're so cruel! You killed them before they even finished venting their emotions."

Zhu Zhiquan spun his spear and said indifferently, "Oh, you mean I should wait for them to finish venting, trigger their potential, and then let them drag us into a bitter fight or kill us instead?"

Zhao Yuxin tilted her head, "Hiss~ what you said seems to make sense! Every time a novel protagonist or someone important to a boss is killed, they often suddenly trigger their potential and counter-kill the other side. Thinking about it this way, I feel like there's no problem."

Zhao Yuxin looked at the opponent's Tricycle and discovered that there was nothing in the cargo area. "Ajiu, how about we head back? I feel like they hid the items at the place where they ambushed us."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded and returned with Zhao Yuxin to the Tricycle to the place where they had encountered the honey trap, but the two of them searched for a long time and found nothing.

Zhao Yuxin looked at the vast desert and, unable to find the hidden supplies, complained helplessly, "Are they really this poor? I can't find a single thing!"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Have you scanned with your Bat Wing Ear?"

"Of course I scanned! My throat is hoarse from the ground's echoes not bringing back any useful information!"

Zhu Zhiquan took a deep breath, "Forget it, let's go, don't waste time here."

The two set off again, and Zhao Yuxin sat in the cargo area looking at the number of people on the World Channel; it displayed 879/3000.

"Greetings, players. Today we have arranged a brand new event—Corrupted Maze City.

A fork in the road will appear ahead of you; you may decide for yourselves whether or not to enter."

After the system announcement finished broadcasting, Zhu Zhiquan had only pedaled for a short while before he saw a fork in the road. In the middle stood a road sign with two arrows; under one arrow was written "Normal Highway," and under the other was written "Corrupted Maze City."

Zhao Yuxin said excitedly, "We're here so soon? Let's go and see what's so impressive about this event. If there is anything, I guarantee I'll take them out in one slap."

"It would be good enough if you didn't pee your pants from fear."

"Ajiu, what did you just say?"

"Nothing, let's enter this event and take a look."

Zhu Zhiquan pedaled the Tricycle into the event, and soon there were many Tricycles parked ahead, with players discussing or waiting in front of a gate that looked full of fleshy texture.

"Ajiu, look, aren't those the Luo Family Brothers, Luo Jinrui and Luo Jincheng, over there?" Zhao Yuxin pointed at a Tricycle, where the Luo Family Brothers were waiting quietly on their own Tricycle.

Zhu Zhiquan ignored Zhao Yuxin's call, and after observing his surroundings, he discovered that most players' Tricycles were at the v2 level, and there were even some players whose Tricycles were only at the v1 level.

As for the v3 level, it wasn't that there weren't any, but they were pitifully few. In any case, within Zhu Zhiquan's field of vision, there weren't many v3 level Tricycles.

"Hey! You surnamed Zhu! Are you listening to me!" Zhao Yuxin waved her hand in front of Zhu Zhiquan, looking at him with a resentful face.

Zhu Zhiquan came back to his senses, "Shh~ don't make noise. The players who can survive until now are more or less extraordinary in strength. Wait until the gate opens before worrying about other things."

"Hmph! Coward! Forget it, I'll go find the ones surnamed Luo to play with by myself." Zhao Yuxin jumped off the Tricycle, but before she had walked a few steps, she was surrounded by a group of people.

Zhao Yuxin saw the ill intent in their eyes and scolded, "Who are you people! Why are you surrounding me?"

One of the yellow-haired men said, "It's simple. We see you have quite a few supplies and want to rob you, and maybe commit some sexual assault while we're at it."

Whoosh!

Squish~

A Dagger Spear pierced straight into the yellow-haired man's body. Zhu Zhiquan activated his Boiling Blood talent, held the Dagger Spear, and quickly hacked the players surrounding Zhao Yuxin to the ground.

Then he pulled Zhao Yuxin behind him, looking at all the surrounding players with the posture of a Thunderbolt of the World.

Seeing a gang wiped out by a youth, everyone immediately shifted their gazes elsewhere.

Zhao Yuxin, who was behind him, stared blankly at Zhu Zhiquan. At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan's skin was flushed red, his veins were bulging all over his body, and a mass of white steam surrounded him, giving people a chilling feeling.

"Azhao, go find the Luo Family Brothers." Zhu Zhiquan pulled the Dagger Spear out of the yellow-haired man, "I'd like to see who dares to stop us!"

Not far away, Luo Jinrui looked at the imposing Zhu Zhiquan and said worriedly, "Brother, do you think that female bandit won't come over? I don't want the little family business we've accumulated to be snatched away by this girl!"

Luo Jincheng spoke calmly, "Rest assured, I just calculated it; this girl won't come over."

"Phew~ that's good." Hearing his brother's words, Luo Jinrui breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan back to the Tricycle. Zhu Zhiquan observed the surroundings on the way back, and only after confirming that no one dared to stare at them did he deactivate his talent.

A blush crept onto Zhao Yuxin's face, "Are you okay?" Zhu Zhiquan shook his head, and Zhao Yuxin continued, "Then get some good rest, I'll drive for a while. By the way, that scene just now was a bit cool, it even made my heart race a little."

Zhu Zhiquan remained silent, sitting quietly on the cargo area, occasionally drinking water or pouring water over himself.

Zhao Yuxin noticed this action of Zhu Zhiquan's and had no choice but to choose to @Luo Jinrui on the Friend Channel, hoping to form an alliance with them.

Luo Jinrui received Zhao Yuxin's private message and turned to ask his brother, "Brother, do you think we should form an alliance with that female bandit?"

After performing a Divination, Luo Jincheng said, "In that case, reply to her that we are willing to form an alliance, and find an opportunity to break away from them after the gate opens."

Luo Jinrui replied to Zhao Yuxin according to his brother's wishes, which made Zhao Yuxin jump up in excitement. "Ajiu, I'll tell you some good news, the Luo Family Brothers are willing to form an alliance with us!

When the time comes, we'll use Luo Jincheng's Divination talent to make a fortune; how about we split it sixty-forty with them?"

Zhu Zhiquan said nonchalantly, "You handle it."

Zhao Yuxin sent her thoughts to Luo Jinrui, and to her surprise, Luo Jinrui actually agreed to her request!

But thinking of how Luo Jincheng had once calculated that fighting against her side would be dangerous, she decisively chose to sell out her former boss to survive, and she understood the reason for their actions.

"They must have agreed to our request without hesitation to please us." After a brief thought, Zhao Yuxin stopped doubting.

Creak~

I don't know how much time passed, but that fleshy-textured gate slowly opened, and a foul, putrid odor rushed toward them.

"What is that, it's so smelly!"

"Who cares! Let's go in, don't let others get there first!"

……………

The moment the gate opened, all the players kept pedaling their Tricycles into the gate.

Zhao Yuxin wanted to go with the Luo Family Brothers, but the heavy traffic severely affected her Bat Wing Ear, causing her to gradually get separated from the Luo Family Brothers.

Zhao Yuxin looked at the dense mass of Tricycles and could never see where the Luo Family Brothers' vehicle was. "Ajiu, do you think the Luo Family Brothers might be bluffing us?"
