Chapter 152: The Behemoth in the Passage

The Tricycle sped through the underground passage, while the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon on its roof entered a charging state.

Once Hada entered the range of the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon, Zhao Yuxin decisively pressed the firing button; a column of Magic Power water pierced through Hada's body, leaving it severely wounded.

However, Hada still extended its claws toward the Tricycle, gripping it tightly.

"Roar—"

Hada let out a roar, attempting to flip the Tricycle over, but the wound that had been pierced was torn open on the spot, forcing Hada to let go. As a result, it was instead impaled by the Tricycle's Impact Cone, causing it to wince in pain.

This time, Hada raised its claws, preparing to tear the Tricycle into pieces, but before its claws could fall, Zhu Zhiquan's Xuangang Spear pierced its neck, and a wave of dizziness followed.

When it regained its senses, it discovered a familiar headless corpse standing before its eyes, which was none other than its own body.

Then, its body dissipated into specks of starlight, and feeling a sudden sense of exhaustion, it dissolved into a pile of materials.

After clearing away Hada, Zhao Yuxin stepped on the accelerator; the Tricycle's engine roared like a wild beast, and its speed reached its limit.

Inside the carriage, two Durian Warriors each held a Spiral Basalt Gun aimed forward, and upon seeing Hada's nest, the Durian Warriors opened fire in turns.

The walls Hada had originally constructed for its nest were suddenly blasted open, allowing the Tricycle to escape the scene safely.

Yet, sparse sounds were constantly transmitted to Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear, forcing her to order Zhu Zhiquan and the others to apply Gajia Magic Potion onto the Tricycle.

A Durian Warrior ladled a bowl of Gajia Magic Potion for Zhu Zhiquan and prepared to apply the potion to the Tricycle himself, but at that moment, a blue fireball landed beside the Tricycle, knocking over the Gajia Magic Potion in his hand.

The Durian Warrior looked up abruptly and saw a group of Magma Cave Ant-men charging toward them aggressively.

The one running fastest at the front of the Ant Swarm was the Magma Cave Ant General; it covered the distance of several hundred meters in less than a minute, reaching the front of the Tricycle and engaging in combat with Zhu Zhiquan.

Not only were there monsters in front, but intense footsteps also came from behind, which meant Zhu Zhiquan and the others were surrounded from both sides.

At this moment, the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine jumped from Zhao Yuxin's waist to the outside of the vehicle and dug a tunnel on one side.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin immediately adjusted the Tricycle's position, then slammed on the accelerator; the Tricycle "whooshed" into the tunnel, following behind the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine.

After trading a few blows with the Magma Cave Ant General, Zhu Zhiquan directly used the skill attached to his Spirit Valley Longsword to make the Magma Cave Ant General and the approaching monsters drowsy, then kicked the Magma Cave Ant General away and jumped back into the Tricycle's carriage.

Along the way, Zhao Yuxin directed the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to dig upward along the passage, while inside the carriage, the Cactus Immortal picked all the pinecones off the Landmine Pine and threw them all out at once.

Boom, boom, boom—

The tunnel behind them exploded in succession, causing a partial collapse in the area, which forced the Ant Swarm to stop and wait for the Magma Cave Ant General's orders.

By this time, the monsters that were originally behind Zhu Zhiquan and the others had also arrived, but the monsters that came were of all sorts, clearly not from the same group.

The Magma Cave Ant General arrived before the herd of beasts and thought to itself: since killing them would provide huge energy for the Ant Swarm anyway, why not slaughter them first?

Thus, it waved its large hand, and the Ant Swarm became intertwined with the herd of beasts; a fierce slaughter ensued.

After shaking off the danger of being pincered, Zhao Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief. She first had the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine stop digging, then with reddened eyes, she came to the carriage and questioned Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, haven't I told you not to do anything dangerous!"

Zhu Zhiquan wanted to explain, but how was he supposed to explain this? He just wanted to learn new talents and new skills; who knew this could trigger a monster riot!

Just like that, Zhu Zhiquan was scolded by Zhao Yuxin for nearly an hour, until the Cactus Immortal used the vehicle lights to set up a pot and cook, which finally made Zhao Yuxin shut her mouth.

"Come on, Baobao, you can't light a fire in a place like this, or there will be danger, understand?" Zhao Yuxin stopped the Cactus Immortal's improper behavior and took out a portion of dry rations opened from some Material Box to gnaw on.

Zhu Zhiquan sat alone in the carriage, checking his attribute panel.

After reading the introduction of the new skill, Zhu Zhiquan couldn't wait to find something to test its power. However, looking at the current situation, he decided to forget it; after all, no one knew when more trouble would be drawn in.

But the newly added Transcendental Profession caught Zhu Zhiquan's eye, making him ask in confusion: "How did I get this thing?"

But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply picked up some dry rations to fill his stomach.

After a short rest, Zhao Yuxin directed the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to dig the tunnel to the nearest underground passage, then had Zhu Zhiquan take over driving.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin no longer had the desire to research, turning instead to open the World Channel to see what content was inside.

Huahua: The follow-up rewards are too little! These villagers have so many good things but didn't give them to me; what a huge loss.

Moon Boat: Hello family, does anyone know how to pass the Ant-man nest without injury? We encountered a large nest here and don't know how to get past it.

Vanilla Wants to Go Home: I'm so unlucky today; I just escaped the pursuit of one monster and encountered an Ant-man nest. Can anyone help me? My teammate is still seriously injured!? _?

President of the Baiyou Association: Good news! Good news! Major good news! Our Baiyou Association has listed a batch of special Magic Potions that can make Magma Cave Ant-men kill each other. It is an important treasure for passing through Ant-man nests; come and grab them quickly!

Clear-Water Flower Group Sales Manager: Family! Family! The latest Magic Potion is on the market! A special Magic Potion formula taken from the natives, a great item to keep your aura from being discovered by monsters! Family members who need it, come and take a look!

……………

After a brief browse, Zhao Yuxin discovered that besides items for dealing with Magma Cave Ant-men selling for a high price, some items for mental needs also had high prices, such as cigarettes, alcohol, betel nuts, and other items.

The first thing Zhao Yuxin thought of was the Gajia Magic Potion, but this thing only came as a finished product, and not to mention the remaining quantity, there were already many such products for dealing with Magma Cave Ant-men on the Trading Channel; she didn't think she could compete with these people.

After ruling out the first product, she turned around and rummaged through the research table, soon finding a type of special mushroom spore that the people of Buyelu Village had given her earlier.

Name: Tobacco Mushroom Spore

Quality: Green

Introduction: A type of mushroom that can be used as tobacco; this is currently just a spore, and it requires a certain temperature and humidity to grow.

"I have the tobacco, but what about the pipe?" Just as Zhao Yuxin was worrying, she heard the sound of Zhu Zhiquan jumping off the vehicle and drawing his Spirit Valley Longsword.

Zhao Yuxin poked her head out of the carriage window, intending to reprimand Zhu Zhiquan, but when she saw the behemoth in front, she silently retracted her head and prepared for battle.
