Chapter 157: Breakout Battle at the Nest (Part 1)

"Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao~"

"Azhao! Azhao, how are you? Azhao!"

"Mm~ mm~"

Amidst the interweaving sounds of shouts and the clashing of weapons, Zhao Yuxin covered her ears and slowly regained consciousness.

Before she was fully awake, Xuebao was already hugging her and licking her incessantly, expressing concern in this way.

Zhao Yuxin paid no mind to this, looking up to see Zhu Zhiquan and the Durian Warriors blocking the approach of the Magma Cave people with the cooperation of the Combat Plants.

Ling Xi and Xuebao were by her side with worried expressions, which made Zhao Yuxin feel quite moved.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin wake up, Ling Xi hurriedly asked, "Sister Zhao, how are you? And can your Tricycle still start?"

Zhao Yuxin shook her head and said, "I'm fine, and our vehicle is very sturdy; it's not that easy to break."

"Alright, you restart it first. I'll take Zhuangzhuang back to follow behind you." Having said that, Ling Xi took Zhuangzhuang back to her own Tricycle to wait for Zhao Yuxin to restart.

Seeing that her mother was fine, Xuebao licked Zhao Yuxin's face again and immediately dove back into the carriage. Zhao Yuxin shifted into reverse, sweat from her forehead dripping continuously onto the seat.

Rumble~

The sound of the Tricycle engine reached Zhu Zhiquan's ears, which made him heave a sigh of relief. He immediately shouted to Zhao Yuxin, "Azhao, we are going to charge straight toward their nest!"

Looking at the endless Ant Swarm in front and behind, as well as the narrow passage, Zhao Yuxin understood that none of them had a way out. She simply let Zhu Zhiquan and the others clear the path, then stepped heavily on the accelerator to ram into the Ant Swarm ahead.

Three Chizha Xuanju tried to stop the Tricycle, but two of them were shot into hedgehogs by the plants on the vehicle, and the last one was pierced through the body by the Impact Cone on the Tricycle, becoming an attachment to the vehicle.

Yet it still had a breath left, raising the steel blade in its hand to try and hack at the Spike above. At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan flipped onto the roof of the Tricycle and used the end of his Xuangang Spear to poke it down.

Ling Xi sat in the driver's seat following behind Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle, watching the plants on their vehicle kill Magma Cave Ant-men on the extension platform.

The powerful firepower left no living Magma Cave Ant-men in front, and even the last few Chizha Xuanju were shot dead by the powerful firepower after only slight resistance.

Confirming there was no danger ahead, Ling Xi looked at the Ant Swarm behind through the rearview mirror again.

At this time, Sun Zi had stopped firing, and the Magma Cave Ant-men, having lost the suppression, launched a charge like madmen, throwing skills to attack from time to time.

Unfortunately, their attacks were too weak for the four people's vehicles and couldn't stir up any trouble at all.

Just as they were about to reach the location of the nest, four Ghost Horn Ants suddenly drilled out from both sides of the passage, their wide forelimbs falling like hoes.

The plants on the vehicles fired continuously, their dense attacks successfully killing two Ghost Horn Ants. The forelimbs of the two missed Ghost Horn Ants landed on Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle, causing a dent in the roof.

Just as these two Ghost Horn Ants raised their forelimbs again, the plants on the vehicle fired collectively, but only killed one; the other took the opportunity to flee.

The plants did not continue to shoot the fleeing Ghost Horn Ant because other Magma Cave Ant-men had already swarmed over again.

Some Magma Cave Ant-men smashed some Flowerpots while the plants were killing the Ghost Horn Ants, causing that portion of the plants to wither rapidly.

Others approached the Tricycle to cause damage, attempting to break through the Tricycle's defenses with their crude weapons.

Bang bang bang~

Bang bang bang~

Bang bang bang~

………………

The Simple Long Spears landed on the armor of the Tricycle, making a sound like raindrops, and combined with the negative effect of the Bat Wing Ear, it made Zhao Yuxin's head spin.

Just as the Magma Cave Ant-men were preparing for a second attack, a cold glint passed through their bodies, leaving a scratch on the necks of these Magma Cave Ant-men, followed by a sense of weakness in their bodies that caused them to fall to the ground.

The Magma Cave Ant-men behind looked closely and discovered it was Zhu Zhiquan standing outside the vehicle again with four Durian Warriors.

The Ant Swarm then let out a shrill screech and launched an attack again, but they did not notice that Zhu Zhiquan had scattered a large number of Ion Chimera Bombs at their feet.

Boom boom boom~

The Ion Chimera Bombs exploded one after another in the nest, blowing up a large group of Magma Cave Ant-men, but this also made Zhao Yuxin's dizziness more severe, even causing her to vomit.

"Xuebao, you come and drive for Mom!" Seeing Zhao Yuxin unable to drive, Zhu Zhiquan stabbed a nearby Magma Cave Ant-man to death and shouted to Xuebao.

Just as he finished speaking, a Magma Cave Ant General flew over from mid-air. Seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan immediately used the Spirit Valley Longsword's auxiliary skill—Spirit Valley Music.

As the music played, the surrounding Magma Cave Ant-men either yawned or fell into a deep sleep, but it had no effect on the Magma Cave Ant General in mid-air.

Bang!

The Magma Cave Ant General struck its thick hands against an energy shield; this was the Wrist Energy Shield Zhu Zhiquan had strapped to his arm.

At this moment, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Wrist Energy Shield, and the massive impact force caused Zhu Zhiquan to drop to one knee.

Two Durian Warriors nearby took their Wave Energy Scimitars and hacked at the Magma Cave Ant General, but the Magma Cave Ant General flew back into mid-air to dodge the blow.

Just as it prepared to fly to a higher position to launch an attack on Zhu Zhiquan and the others, Ling Xi controlled the smart Artillery to aim at the Magma Cave Ant General and fired a shot.

Boom!

The Magma Cave Ant General used the vision of its compound eyes to graze past the shell, which exploded a large hole in the cave ceiling. Then, countless rubble and ice shards fell, and a ray of sunlight mixed with wind and snow descended upon the entire large nest.

The Magma Cave Ant General flew in mid-air, the light falling from the cave entrance landing on its body, like a god from the heavens looking down on Zhu Zhiquan and his group.

The Ant Swarm below was like its army; even though they were affected by the Spirit Valley Music, they still exuded an aura of slaughter, standing tall before Zhu Zhiquan and his group.

The Ant Swarm behind was like demons from hell, and even though they were suppressed by the combined efforts of Sun Zi and the plants, they still approached them without fear of death.

"Damn, what are you showing off for! Take this ultimate move—Levitation Magnetic Cannon~" Sun Zi really couldn't stand the Magma Cave Ant General's posturing, so he channeled the Magic Power in his body to form four crescent-shaped Floating Cannons around him.

Then he jumped onto the roof of the vehicle and opened his mouth, aiming at the Magma Cave Ant General. The Floating Cannons behind him followed suit while continuously charging, and the moment Sun Zi opened his mouth, they opened fire, four beams of light erupting and hitting the Magma Cave Ant General in mid-air.

Furthermore, after the Floating Cannons fired, a beam of light also issued from Sun Zi's mouth, though this beam was dodged by the Magma Cave Ant General.

At this moment, four fist-sized holes appeared on the Magma Cave Ant General's body, one of which pierced through its body and shattered one of its wings, causing its flight to become unstable.

"Hahaha~ How about that? It doesn't feel good to be hit by my attack, does it!" Sun Zi looked at the injured Magma Cave Ant General and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

Zhao Yuxin finally recovered at this moment. The first thing she saw was the injured Magma Cave Ant General and the sleepy Ant Swarm, with Xuebao beside her pulling at her, trying to move her position.

Zhao Yuxin leaned on Xuebao and looked around, then her gaze fell on Zhu Zhiquan as she spoke: "Ajiu, what should we do? We are still surrounded by the Ant Swarm!"

Zhu Zhiquan drew another Spirit Valley Longsword, used its auxiliary skill again to plunge the Ant Swarm into a deeper sleep, and quickly scanned the entire Ant Swarm.

At this moment, his eyes narrowed as he discovered that the number of the Ant Swarm in the entire nest had decreased significantly; did this not mean they had a great hope of breaking through the blockade of this nest?
