Chapter 156: The Magma Cave General Moves Out

"Stop! Quickly, stop the vehicle!"

Sizzle—

Under Zhao Yuxin's shouting, the two tricycles stopped reversing. Before anyone else could ask what was happening, the three of them heard the sound of uniform, rhythmic footsteps coming from behind.

"Damn it! What is going on!" Sun Zi exclaimed as he looked at the ant swarm slowly approaching in the rearview mirror.

Ling Xi was also speechless as she looked at the ant swarm behind them, because not only was the ant swarm in neat formation, but the front row was also holding spiked shields.

This meant that if they reversed the tricycles directly, they would likely be turned into hedgehogs!

"Ajiu, what should we do?"

"Mm—mm—"

Zhao Yuxin and Xuebao both hugged Zhu Zhiquan's arm, hoping to seek a bit of comfort. And in the driver's seat of their tricycle, Zhuangzhuang was also trembling all over, having lost his usual naughtiness.

Zhu Zhiquan gripped the Xuangang Spear in his hand and instructed Zhao Yuxin: "Azhao, just have your plants assist me."

"Okay!" Zhao Yuxin immediately took out all her combat plants, while Xuebao was responsible for placing the plants she took out into suitable positions.

Then Zhu Zhiquan shouted to Sun Zi and his wife: "The ant swarm behind you two is left to you."

"No problem! Wife, come and switch places with me!" Sun Zi agreed decisively and quickly swapped places with Ling Xi, positioning himself inside the tricycle's cargo bed.

Once everything was ready, Zhu Zhiquan immediately activated Boiling Blood and the Nightmare Demon Eye, charging toward the ant swarm in front of them. Four durian warriors followed behind him, ready to clear a path for Zhu Zhiquan.

Seeing the prey deliver itself to their door, the Ghost-Horned Ants excitedly charged at Zhu Zhiquan first. Before they could even take a step, several grass swords cut off their thighs, and the Ghost-Horned Ants fell down one after another as a result.

Zhu Zhiquan's eyes narrowed; he injected 3 points of Magic Power into the Xuangang Spear and swung it fiercely, sending a massive slash toward the waists of the Ghost-Horned Ants.

Boom!

A wall of fire suddenly appeared, blocking Zhu Zhiquan's attack. Some of the grass swords were ignited on the spot upon touching the fire wall, and then the two Mind-Energy Mushrooms in the cargo bed trembled violently, causing the other grass swords they controlled to go out of control.

At the same time, the Chizha Xuanju leaped over the fire wall, aiming to strike at the heads of Zhu Zhiquan and the durian warriors.

Zhu Zhiquan waved his hand, and four Huofeng circled around him. Two Chizha Xuanju happened to land on the Huofeng and were melted on the spot.

After the other Chizha Xuanju landed, they swung their weapons at their respective targets, engaging in battle with the four durian warriors.

Zhu Zhiquan then pointed his hand, and the four Huofeng passed through the fire wall, burning the Magma Cave ant-men along the way until they disappeared into mid-air.

After the Huofeng passed through, the fire wall revealed a wide hole, and then the fire spread to the surroundings, making the entire fire wall look like it was covered in spiderwebs, yet it still did not shatter.

After using Phoenix Cloud Fire, Zhu Zhiquan did not continue to attack the fire wall, turning instead to assist the durian warriors in killing the Chizha Xuanju.

By this time, Zhao Yuxin had already swapped places with Zhuangzhuang and finished charging the vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon.

When Zhu Zhiquan was supporting the durian warriors, he happened to expose the fire wall to her, and Zhao Yuxin immediately fired the vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon at the fire wall, destroying it completely.

As for Zhu Zhiquan, after a brief exchange with the Chizha Xuanju, he felt that the combat power of these things was indeed decent, but the pressure brought by each one was far less than that of a Magma Cave Ant General, which made him lose some interest.

He simply swung the Xuangang Spear violently, forcing back all the Chizha Xuanju, and retreated with the four durian warriors to the side of the tricycle.

Zhao Yuxin slammed on the accelerator, and the tricycle shot out like a sharp sword. Those Ghost-Horned Ants whose hind limbs had been severed by the grass swords could not move and could only let Zhao Yuxin drive the tricycle over them.

The tricycle driven by Ling Xi slowly passed by them, dragging a long tail flame; this tail flame was Sun Zi firing at the ant swarm behind them from the cargo bed.

"Get on!" At Zhu Zhiquan's command, the durian warriors jumped onto the cargo bed of Sun Zi and his wife's tricycle one by one, and he himself boarded last.

In the driver's seat of the lead tricycle, Zhao Yuxin stepped hard on the accelerator, preparing to rely on the vehicle's performance and the firepower of the combat plants to reach the tunnel entrance, and then use the auxiliary skill of the Spirit Valley Longsword to give herself a chance to turn around.

After crushing countless Magma Cave ant-men, she finally saw the location of the tunnel entrance, then turned the handlebars all the way to prepare to adjust the tricycle's direction.

Just at this moment, all the tunnel entrances dug out by the Ghost-Horned Ants were blocked by a wall of ice. Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin immediately slammed on the brakes while covering her ears tightly with both hands.

Boom!

A loud noise reached the ears of the few people behind. Although Ling Xi was not clear about how Zhao Yuxin had crashed, she still got out of the vehicle to provide cover.

There was no help for it; the passage was too narrow, and even turning around was inconvenient. The vehicle's smart artillery could easily cause friendly fire, so she could only get out to provide cover.

But just as her hand touched the door handle, she saw a figure leap past the vehicle. Turning her head, she realized the figure was none other than Zhu Zhiquan.

She saw him quickly brandish the Xuangang Spear to kill the approaching Magma Cave ant-men, and then the four durian warriors followed behind to seal the gap, preventing any Magma Cave ant-men from approaching the driver's side door.

It was just that Zhao Yuxin still made no move, which made Ling Xi frown. She arrived at Zhao Yuxin's side in a few steps, and even the usually timid Xuebao ran out.

………………

At the center of the large nest, the Magma Cave General looked at the images of Zhu Zhiquan and the others and revealed a satisfied smile, then it had the Ant Wizard switch the images.

The next second, the scene in the Peeping Crystal switched. Although the image was very blurry, one could still tell that it was a group of villagers preparing to migrate.

In their eyes, these villagers were their backup food! How could they let them easily escape their control?

Thus, the Magma Cave General prepared to give these villagers a show of force first, then force them to go to the farm it had already prepared for them, so that they would obediently create more food for their Ant Empire.

Thinking of this, the Magma Cave General swiped a few times on the Peeping Crystal, and then ice cones fell one after another into the midst of the villagers; some villagers were struck by the ice cones and bled profusely on the spot.

Suddenly, a thundercloud emerged from the Peeping Crystal, electrocuting the insect shells of the Magma Cave General and the Ant Wizard beside it into charcoal.

At this time, the Ant Wizard's antennae emitted brainwaves, suggesting to the Magma Cave General: "General, let me counterattack. I will definitely make these humans pay a heavy price!"

The Magma Cave General thought for a moment and chose to take a step back to facilitate the Ant Wizard's casting. The Ant Wizard chanted spells toward the Peeping Crystal, its hands also constantly making various strange movements to duel with the experts among the villagers.

But it only lasted less than three minutes before it was beaten into fragments by the villagers' experts.

Watching one of its subordinates die, the Magma Cave General could not help but become excited, and then it led the majority of the ant swarm's forces toward the villagers' location.

And somewhere in the passage, a gray-haired old man with a three-foot-long beard in the middle of the crowd stared at the void and snorted coldly: "Hmph! You are still too green to want to go head-to-head with us!"

"Village Chief, now that the Magma Cave ant-men will come at any time, should we help the others? That way our survival probability could increase by a few points." A young girl suggested.

But such a suggestion made this Village Chief very angry, and he reprimanded: "Help them? Help them for what! Zaimier, don't let me warn you again; do not mention helping outsiders to me!"

"As you command, Village Chief!" Seeing the Village Chief was angry, Zaimier had no choice but to agree respectfully.
