Chapter 141: The Ambush of the Magma Cave Ant-men (Part 1)

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's voice, two mages immediately tore down the wall.

When the wall collapsed, it revealed a tricycle that possessed both a sense of technology and a sense of magic.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin and the Ice Cream Cactus struck poses they thought were cool in front of everyone, while Zhu Zhiquan sat on the roof of the vehicle with his legs crossed, holding a Xuangang Spear in his hand.

The Durian Warrior, meanwhile, stood straight in place, eyes staring fixedly ahead, as if a guard standing at a doorway.

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan and the others' tricycle, the crowd was dumbfounded, and some little brats ran directly around the tricycle to look it up and down.

One child, who looked to be only about eight years old, asked Zhao Yuxin: "Auntie, what kind of magic are you using? It's so amazing! We were right against the wall outside and didn't hear a single sound of the modifications!"

"Yeah, yeah, Auntie Zhao, hurry and tell us how this was actually made."

"Auntie Zhao, please, won't you?"

…………

Listening to the children's form of address, Zhao Yuxin immediately had black lines on her face. Just as she wanted to correct the children's address, Zhu Zhiquan spoke up first: "Ev... everyone, we... we are going to go scout... scout the path."

"Go on then."

"Be careful on the road."

"Outsiders, I believe in your strength, go for it!"

……………

Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhu Zhiquan and the others drove the tricycle to carry out the scouting mission.

Zhao Yuxin lay inside the carriage and opened the panel to check the attributes of the upgraded tricycle.

Name: Basic Hybrid Tricycle v6

Maximum cruising speed: 50+3 (the part after the plus sign is the bonus from the Primary High-Speed Tire)

Introduction: A hybrid tricycle that combines technology and magic technology; it can use both technology and magic. At the same time, its powerful performance can erase the negative effects previously caused by equipment.

Upgrade requirements: v6 Exclusive Vehicle Component 3, Technology Exclusive Vehicle Component 1, Magic Exclusive Vehicle Ornament 1, Electronic Parts 5 units, Chip 5 units, Magic Wood 5 units.

After reading the vehicle's information, Zhao Yuxin was both excited and depressed. She was excited because the tricycle's attributes had increased, and depressed because the materials required for the tricycle's upgrade were even harder to get.

"Azhao, is there any danger nearby?" Zhu Zhiquan asked at this time.

Zhao Yuxin closed her eyes to carefully sense the surrounding sound waves, then shook her head at Zhu Zhiquan: "Not for now, let's continue moving forward."

After confirming there was no danger, Zhu Zhiquan silently stepped on the accelerator to speed forward.

But in fact, there were many Magma Cave Ant-men clinging to the top of the tunnel they were passing through. Whenever sound waves touched their bodies, a unique thin film on their surface absorbed the sound waves, causing most of the sound waves not to reflect.

Soon they arrived at a karst cave. Zhu Zhiquan turned on his flashlight to observe his surroundings and found that the cave had no visible end on either side, and there was a circular lake with a diameter of about 70 meters in the middle.

Zhu Zhiquan prepared to observe for a while longer, and after confirming there was no danger, he would go back to notify the villagers to move forward.

And behind them, one Magma Cave Ant-man after another dropped to the ground, slowly approaching Zhu Zhiquan and the others. Although the sound of them landing was very small, captured by the Bat Wing Ear, Zhao Yuxin immediately sensed that there was a problem behind them.

She immediately opened the vehicle door and the extension platform, calling for the Ice Cream Cactus and the Durian Warrior to set out the Combat Plants.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin's reaction, Zhu Zhiquan didn't waste words and quickly charged the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon.

Whoosh—

Simple Long Spears streaked through the pitch-black tunnel and then landed heavily on the tricycle. This caused the energy of the Guardian Goddess Statue to drop by nearly 2000 points, and the Guardian Goddess Statue's energy hit rock bottom on the spot.

A portion of the spears also landed on the Durian Warrior and some of the attack-type plants, with enough power to even pierce into the Durian Warrior.

"So badass!" Seeing that a Simple Long Spear could actually break through the Durian Warrior's defense, Zhao Yuxin was so startled she exclaimed out loud.

However, she didn't just stand there; she grabbed the Xunfeng Crossbow and fired in the direction from which the Simple Long Spears were flying.

Then, the sound of arrows continuously piercing through hard objects reached everyone's ears. Zhao Yuxin turned on the flashlight, only to see their path behind them cut off by a large number of Magma Cave Ant-men.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Zhu Zhiquan also stepped on the accelerator at this moment, preparing to turn around and rush out! But the tricycle only moved forward a short distance, and before it could turn around, it suddenly began to tremble violently.

Clatter—

One Magma Cave Ant-man after another dropped to the ground, trapping the tricycle tightly in the middle. At the same time, bubbles kept rising from the lake, and then a group of Magma Cave Ant-men that looked different from the others emerged.

The weapons used by these Magma Cave Ant-men that emerged from the water were no different from the other Magma Cave Ant-men, but they had webbing between the fingers of their front hands and a pair of gill-like structures on their necks.

At this moment, all the Magma Cave Ant-men slowly approached them. The uniform sound of footsteps made Zhao Yuxin's legs tremble, and the Ice Cream Cactus was even hugging the Guardian Goddess Statue and crying bitterly.

Although the oppressive feeling of the Magma Cave Ant-men was suffocating, it made Zhu Zhiquan feel very excited. He first activated the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon to pierce through a row of Magma Cave Ant-men, then jumped off the driver's seat and drew his Spirit Valley Longsword to fight in the Ant Swarm.

After Zhu Zhiquan finished firing one shot, Zhao Yuxin also reacted, picked up a Spiral Basalt Gun, and fired a shot at the Magma Cave Ant-men on the flank.

Boom!

Huge sparks bloomed, illuminating the entire karst cave while also blowing up a large number of monsters.

Seeing that this thing was so fierce, the Durian Warrior prepared to use a Spiral Basalt Gun to counterattack as well. But at this moment, blue fireballs mixed with Simple Long Spears flew over and landed on the tricycle, causing the people on the vehicle to fall over instantly.

When the smoke cleared, Zhu Zhiquan and the others' tricycle showed obvious collapses. And the outer shell on the surface of the Durian Warrior was broken, exposing the Magic Core inside.

Zhao Yuxin climbed back up inside the carriage; the first thing she saw was the Ice Cream Cactus crying on the side. At this moment, the Ice Cream Cactus was hugging her tightly, and even using its own body to cover Zhao Yuxin's body.

"Ugh—ugh—" Looking at the Magma Cave Ant-men raising their spears and staves again, the Ice Cream Cactus let out a mournful cry, preparing to welcome the arrival of death.

Just at this moment, a unique piece of music rang out. It was the sound produced by the Spirit Valley musical effect of Zhu Zhiquan using the Spirit Valley Longsword.

In an instant, every Magma Cave Ant-man that heard this music felt their bodies become extremely heavy, and a sense of fatigue quietly crept over their entire bodies.

The Magma Cave Ant-men very close to Zhu Zhiquan even fell to the ground with a "thud," and the Spirit Valley Longsword in Zhu Zhiquan's hand also became dim.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Magma Cave Ant-men hadn't recovered yet, Zhao Yuxin pushed the Ice Cream Cactus away and ordered the Durian Warrior: "Yihao, go and set out all the plants!" Having said that, Zhao Yuxin picked up a Spiral Basalt Gun and fired another shot.

The sounds of battle from Zhu Zhiquan and the others traveled from the tunnel, making the waiting crowd break into a cold sweat.

In the crowd, Yage stood up, drew his longsword embedded with five gems, and shouted at the tunnel: "Militia Group, follow me to rescue those two outsiders, kill!!!"

"Charge!!!"

The entire Militia Group launched an attack, charging from behind the Magma Cave Ant-men with an unstoppable posture.
