Chapter 154: Ling Xi's Rescue

"Mm~ mm~" The Ice Cream Cactus acted coquettishly toward Zhao Yuxin, begging her to give it one more ice cream.

Zhao Yuxin rolled her eyes at it and said, "Be good, you've already grown so fat, you aren't allowed to eat any more!"

"Mm~ mm~" Upon hearing this, the Ice Cream Cactus immediately threw a tantrum, even hugging Zhao Yuxin's thigh and refusing to let go until she agreed to let it eat one more serving of ice cream.

Just as Zhao Yuxin was about to agree, the ground began to vibrate, and a rhythmic sound of footsteps slowly approached from the distance.

Before Zhao Yuxin could react, Zhu Zhiquan, from the driver's seat, saw a massive wave of Ant Swarm approaching from the tunnel they had dug, illuminated by the vehicle's lights.

And behind the Tricycle, another massive wave of Ant Swarm had formed a battle formation and was closing in on them.

At this moment, they were caught in the middle of the tunnel by the Ant Swarm; the intense pressure made the Ice Cream Cactus hide behind Zhao Yuxin, letting out terrified whimpers.

At first, Zhao Yuxin wanted to use the digging ability of the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to help them escape, but the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine dug so fast it was practically smoking, yet it couldn't even dig a single pit.

"Ajiu, what do we do!? The permafrost here feels like it suddenly turned hard; even the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine can't dig through it!"

"Everyone sit tight!" Zhu Zhiquan said, then began to adjust the Tricycle, while Zhao Yuxin summoned the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine and pulled out all her offensive plants.

The roar of the Tricycle's engine excited the two leading Magma Ant Generals, who each led their Ant Swarm to charge at the Tricycle.

But before they had taken many steps, a unique melody drifted over, making them feel exhausted; then, Zhu Zhiquan activated the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon to pierce through the Magma Ant General and the Magma Ant-men behind it, finally slamming on the accelerator to ram into them.

The Magma Ant General that had just been pierced didn't even understand what had happened before it was impaled by the Impact Cone on the Tricycle. But even so, it didn't die, raising its hand to try and smash the windshield glass in a desperate struggle.

At this moment, a longsword embedded with five gems flew out from the carriage and stabbed into the neck of the battered Magma Ant General; the Magma Ant General's raised hand dropped powerlessly, and it breathed its last.

Then, countless Grass Swords circled around the Tricycle, making the Tricycle like a land of no one, reaping a straight line of Magma Ant-men.

And when the Magma Ant General in the rear reacted, the Tricycle had already broken through by several hundred meters. Thus, it decisively entered its second phase, preparing to rely on its flight ability to get up close.

But just as its wings extended, Arrows and Explosive Fruit filled its entire field of vision.

The moment before being hit by the attacks, the Magma Ant General still thought about using flight to dodge the damage. But it was too narrow here! Plus, with the Ant Swarm blocking behind it, it could only take all the damage head-on.

In the carriage, Zhao Yuxin held a notebook and pen, recording the status of the offensive plants. "After the upgrade, the Sea Buckthorn Bomber can throw over two hundred meters, the power of the Xunfeng Pea Shooter has also clearly increased, and also..."

After recording the plants' performance, Zhao Yuxin first recalled the Five-Star Sword, then made three more Spirit Valley Longswords for emergencies.

Finally, Zhao Yuxin used a flashlight to shine into the back of the carriage; the light emitted by the flashlight illuminated the tunnel, and the appearance of the Ant Swarm was exposed before Zhao Yuxin's eyes.

At this time, the Magma Ant General's body had become tattered, and only one wing remained on its back. The Magma Ant-men beside it were either dead or injured, suppressed by the plants to the point where they could hardly get within two hundred meters of the Tricycle.

Seeing the plants' performance, Zhao Yuxin leaned against the rear window and said smugly, "Hmph! Ajiu, did you see that? These little ants are easily handled by me!"

Just as Zhao Yuxin was feeling smug, the Tricycle had already entered the large nest of the Magma Ant-men, and the entire Tricycle was surrounded by thousands of Magma Ant-men.

"Zzzzz~"

"Zzzzz~"

"Zzzzz~"

……………

The moment the Tricycle entered the large nest, all the Magma Ant-men inside attacked the Tricycle like they had gone mad.

But Zhu Zhiquan was not panicked at all; he stepped on the accelerator to drive the Tricycle at its fastest speed, and by relying on the Tricycle's Impact Cone and the Grass Swords of the Psychic Mushroom Grass circling around, the blocking Magma Ant-men fell in swathes like harvested wheat.

However, no matter how powerful the Tricycle was, it consumed fuel, and as the Psychic Mushroom Grass continued to use its ability, the mushroom cap on its head began to shrivel.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuxin relied on her Bat Wing Ear to quickly lock onto several exits, so she prepared to have Zhu Zhiquan turn around and fight their way to the nearest exit!

But the ground suddenly vibrated violently; the sound waves from the shifting terrain were all heard by Zhao Yuxin, and she immediately showed a look of surprise, turning to shout at Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, we're trapped!"

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's words, Zhu Zhiquan stepped on the brake and said resolutely, "Azhao, do we have Ling's mark?"

"We do! That mark has existed ever since we separated last time... Oh, right!" Reminded by this, Zhao Yuxin immediately called for help from Ling Xi and her partner.

However, before Ling Xi and the others could reply, Zhu Zhiquan and the others still had to endure the Ant Swarm's attack.

Immediately, Zhu Zhiquan had the Psychic Mushroom Grass speed up the movement of the Grass Swords, while he himself used the cover of the Grass Swords to find the Ice Cream Cactus, which was still shivering in the carriage.

But this time, the Ice Cream Cactus was scared to tears by the surrounding environment, and no matter how Zhu Zhiquan called it, it wouldn't listen.

Helpless, Zhu Zhiquan had to first use the auxiliary skill of a Spirit Valley Longsword to make the surrounding Magma Ant-men drowsy, and exchanged a look with Zhao Yuxin.

Zhao Yuxin immediately understood Zhu Zhiquan's meaning and decisively moved to the driver's seat to take on the tasks of communication, driving, and firing the cannon.

As Zhao Yuxin stepped on the accelerator, the Tricycle's engine roared, continuously reaping the lives of the Magma Ant-men.

And Zhu Zhiquan prepared to go to the roof of the vehicle with the Durian Warrior, taking the opportunity to test his new skill. But just as his hand reached outside the vehicle, he heard Zhao Yuxin shout "Sit tight!", and then the Tricycle dodged the attacks from above with an S-shaped maneuver.

At this time, several pits suddenly appeared in front of the Tricycle, waiting for the Tricycle to accidentally fall into them.

The Magma Great General hiding in the Ant Swarm looked at its perfect trap and couldn't help but reveal an evil smile.

But just as it watched with anticipation as the Tricycle gradually approached the trap it had ordered its subordinates to set, a Portal suddenly appeared in front of the Tricycle, teleporting the Tricycle to another place.

The Magma Great General stood up abruptly, looking at the battlefield in disbelief, then looked at the Magma Ant Wizard's Crystal Ball, and soon found the location of its prey again.

…………………

And in another underground tunnel, Zhao Yuxin hugged Ling Xi and said gratefully, "Sister Ling, it's a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise I wouldn't know how much longer we could have held on!"

Ling Xi nodded gently and smiled, "We've already experienced life-and-death situations together many times, no need to be so polite. Come, let's sit down and talk about how you've been doing during this time."

"Okay, okay~" The two held hands and leaned against each other, chatting happily.
