Chapter 143: The Ambush of the Magma Cave Ant-men (Part 2)

"Baobao, you come with me to the back. Yihao, you go to the front and put down the Healing Sunflower." After Zhao Yuxin finished giving instructions, she walked straight through the villagers to the side of the Militia Group covering the rear.

Durian Warrior heard this and immediately turned back, placing the Healing Sunflower behind the Militia Group responsible for breaking through.

At this moment, Yage was at the very front, leading the Elders and the Militia to block the Magma Cave Ant-men. Even though the Ant Swarm in the rear was so numerous that one could not see the end of it, as long as the people in front could break through the obstruction of the Magma Cave Ant-men, then their sacrifice would be worth it.

At this time, Zhao Yuxin had the Ice Cream Cactus put down the Healing Sunflower, then watered and fertilized it. After being watered and fertilized, the Healing Sunflower immediately revealed an excited smile and emitted a unique scent.

Immediately after, those injured Elders and Militia felt their wounds itching, and upon checking during a rotation, they discovered their wounds were slowly undergoing Yùhé, though one had to stare constantly to notice it.

Knowing their wounds could undergo Yùhé, the combat power of the Militia surged instantly, preparing to wipe out all the Magma Cave Ant-men behind them!

But at this moment, Zhao Yuxin activated the incidental skill effect of the Spirit Valley Longsword. Suddenly, a unique piece of music rang out from the Spirit Valley Longsword, and a large group of Magma Cave Ant-men suddenly fell to the ground, followed by bursts of snoring sounds.

The Magma Cave Ant-men further back did not fall, but that swaying appearance gave one the impression of someone who had not woken up yet.

"Village Chief, they have been hypnotized by me, hurry and set up some defensive facilities!" Zhao Yuxin said in a low voice.

The Militia in the rear passed her words to Yage's ears. Yage was suddenly enlightened after hearing them, then stomped hard, and a wall rose abruptly.

Immediately after, the mages among the Elders and the Militia also took turns stomping the ground, and behind the wall Yage had summoned, one wall after another rose in succession.

After casting this skill, Yage and the others immediately felt their limbs go weak and found it difficult to stand. However, the people around them immediately lifted them up, handing everyone except Yage over to the villagers to look after.

Supported by the Militia, Yage asked Zhao Yuxin: "Can you use that magic again?"

Zhao Yuxin looked down at the Spirit Valley Longsword and shook her head at Yage, saying: "No, that magic just now was produced by this sword; it cannot recover for a while now."

"Understood." Yage signaled the Militia to help him onto the roof of the Tricycle, preparing to command everyone in battle from there.

On the front battlefield, because the passage was narrow, Zhu Zhiquan was forced to abandon the Xuangang Spear. At this moment, he held the Spirit Valley Longsword in one hand and wore the Wrist Energy Shield on the other, reaping the approaching Magma Cave Ant-men.

A large group of Militia nearby was assisting him in clearing out the Ant Swarm, constantly compressing the front line of the Magma Cave Ant-men.

At the very rear, Durian Warrior followed while holding a Healing Sunflower, and the Healing Sunflower was treating the Militia in front.

"Mages, chisel the road on both sides wider, and those in the middle, clear the path!" Yage's voice rang out, leaving the Militia fighting in the front at a loss.

A portion of the Militia wanted to ask for the reason, but discovered Yage sitting on the roof of the Tricycle, and this Tricycle was emitting a roaring sound, like a wild bull.

The Militia who received the order immediately executed Yage's command, widening the passage and clearing a path for the Tricycle.

Seeing the other side clear the path, the Magma Cave Ant-men surged toward the villagers in the middle like madmen.

Buzz buzz~

Ice Cream Cactus stepped on the gas, and the Tricycle rushed into the Ant Swarm with a 'whoosh'.

The Magma Cave Ant-men along the way were reaped like wheat by the Impact Cone on the Tricycle, and the Militia Group followed behind to reap the ones that slipped through the net.

In an instant, the front line was pushed to the cave entrance, and the Elders took the opportunity to lead the villagers forward. Furthermore, in the rear, Zhao Yuxin led people to bury Landmine Pinecones to delay the time it would take for the Magma Cave Ant-men behind to break through the defensive line.

Looking at Zhu Zhiquan's side, at this moment, under Yage's command, the Militia surrounded the Tricycle to break through the defense of the cave Ant Swarm, and various offensive plants inside the vehicle attacked from the outdoor extension platform.

There were fewer and fewer Magma Cave Ant-men in the cave, clearly unable to hold on. Thus, the Ant Swarm commander hiding in the shadows could only order a retreat, and the Magma Cave Ant-men in the entire cave immediately scattered.

Seeing the Ant Swarm retreat, Yage immediately ordered: "Everyone, do not pursue! Protect the villagers as they migrate!"

Hearing Yage's order, the Militia put away their weapons and did a simple cleanup on the scene. Zhu Zhiquan also deactivated his two talents and performed a sword flourish on the spot to return the sword to its scabbard.

The villagers in the rear also gathered around to put the corpses of the Magma Cave Ant-men on the ground onto their own pushcarts, many of which were dismembered on the spot.

"Ajiu, are you alright?" Zhao Yuxin ran quickly to Zhu Zhiquan, with tiny beads of sweat falling from her face.

Zhu Zhiquan spread his hands and revealed a smile, appearing to have no problems. But his eyes were already full of bloodshot veins, and the blood vessels in his body looked like they were about to burst, clearly visible on his crimson skin.

Zhao Yuxin wanted to wipe the sweat for Zhu Zhiquan, but as soon as her hand touched Zhu Zhiquan's skin, it was so hot that she subconsciously withdrew her hand. Furthermore, it could be seen that Zhao Yuxin's hand had been scalded with blisters.

The Militia cleaning the battlefield nearby saw Zhao Yuxin's hand had been scalded, and their eyes widened one by one.

"Are you okay?" Zhu Zhiquan looked at Zhao Yuxin's hand with some heartache, wanting to reach out to touch it, but withdrew halfway.

"Wu~ wu~" Ice Cream Cactus saw Zhao Yuxin's hand had been scalded and immediately jumped off the vehicle to come to Zhao Yuxin's side. Immediately after, the surrounding temperature dropped, and suddenly a layer of frost crawled onto the Ice Cream Cactus.

Ice Cream Cactus held Zhao Yuxin's hand, and the pain in Zhao Yuxin's hand immediately lessened.

Zhu Zhiquan looked at Zhao Yuxin's blistered hand and immediately jumped into the lake to cool himself down.

Splash~

Sizzle~

A large amount of water vapor immediately rose from the surface of the lake; Zhu Zhiquan fell into the water like a piece of red-hot iron, having a large amount of body heat taken away by the surrounding lake water.

"Ajiu!" Seeing Zhu Zhiquan jump into the water, Zhao Yuxin pushed aside the Ice Cream Cactus and followed him into the water. But seeing Zhu Zhiquan just soaking in the shallows, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but ask: "Ajiu, what are you doing?"

Zhu Zhiquan subconsciously avoided her, his voice explaining to Zhao Yuxin becoming especially small: "I was afraid of hurting you again, so I jumped into the water to cool down."

"Afraid of what?" Zhao Yuxin said, grabbing Zhu Zhiquan in a hug. Zhu Zhiquan was so frightened he immediately pushed her away, then looked at Zhao Yuxin in terror.

Zhao Yuxin spun around on the spot and laughed: "Look, I'm perfectly fine. Didn't you notice the water around you stopped boiling?"

Zhu Zhiquan looked at the lake surface around himself and discovered it had indeed stopped boiling. This made Zhu Zhiquan feel a trace of embarrassment, and at the same time, a breath of turbid air was exhaled from his body.

"Hey~ you two outsiders, stop flirting over there, we still have to be on our way! If you don't leave now, we won't care about you anymore~"

A villager's shout brought Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan back to their senses. Zhao Yuxin lowered her head and smiled, hooking Zhu Zhiquan's soul, then Zhu Zhiquan reached out his hand to extend an invitation to Zhao Yuxin. Zhao Yuxin didn't mind and placed her hand on his.

Afterwards, under the gaze of the crowd, the two returned to the shore hand in hand. Some young people in love among the villagers couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to imitate them.
