Chapter 177: Charging into the Nest

Wanhua Regiment Leader: "Oof~ That was close. If not for someone summoning the King of Samsara, I'd likely be severely wounded even if I managed to survive!"

Huahua: "Yay~ That's great! I actually killed a Magma Cave Ant General!"

May Heaven Protect Us: "Oh, has anyone seen General Buerduo? You know, that drunkard who was hanging the Magma Cave Great General up and beating him? Has anyone seen him?"

…………………

Zhao Yuxin closed the World Channel and used a Xuangang Spear as a cane to reach the vehicle window.

While Zhao Yuxin was receiving treatment from Ling Xi, the players had already approached the nest alongside the indigenous army.

Now, the players and the indigenous army had charged into the giant nest; their goal was to assist the army in killing the Magma Cave Ant General and destroying the Nest Core.

Of course, some players only wanted to fight their way through the nest. After all, the players' main goal was to reach the surface before 9:00 PM tonight; they had absolutely no need to fight to the death with the indigenous people over the nest.

Zhao Yuxin looked at the bustling, massive troop and muttered: "Sigh~ That Ajiu is really something. As soon as I woke up, she ran off to kill ants without saying a word, claiming it was to 'clear obstacles for the players behind.' I see it clearly—that old habit of hers has flared up again!"

Outside the vehicle window, there were only the sounds of players driving their Tricycles and the marching of the army. From time to time, one could hear the sounds of artillery fire and slaughter, but Zhu Zhiquan's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Yuxin opened her panel to check Zhu Zhiquan's information. Relieved to confirm that Zhu Zhiquan was not in mortal danger, she immediately shouted to Xuebao: "Baobao, speed up! I want to see where this guy surnamed Zhu has disappeared to!"

"Oof~" Xuebao immediately stepped on the accelerator. The Tricycle's engine roared instantly, and it accelerated toward the front of the formation.

On the front lines of the battlefield, most of those fighting were indigenous soldiers; basically, few players would charge this far forward.

But one player had mixed in here—it was none other than Zhu Zhiquan, who had nothing better to do than slaughter Magma Cave Ant-men here.

At this moment, he was charging wildly through the Ant Swarm, specifically targeting Magma Cave Ant Generals. There was no other reason than that his strength was closest to this thing's, making the fight more exhilarating.

Naturally, Zhu Zhiquan's performance was seen clearly by Ma Lailaiyin and his party. Compared to other players who were just muddling through, it was rare to encounter someone like Zhu Zhiquan who charged into the ant swarm and slaughtered everything in sight.

Watching the valiant Zhu Zhiquan, Ma Lailaiyin let out a helpless sigh: "What a pity. If he weren't a player, I would truly hope he could stay and serve us."

A handsome general said: "Indeed. If this player could join us, he would certainly become a pillar of our cause. Unfortunately, according to ancient records, players who haven't left this world by the deadline will soon die."

Jiuhunuan waved his fan and said: "City Lord, now is not the time to discuss this. Shouldn't we talk more about how to reduce our army's casualties?"

Ma Lailaiyin came back to his senses and asked Jiuhunuan for advice: "True. What are your thoughts?"

Jiuhunuan waved his fan and said: "Let's follow the old tradition and promise them a large batch of rewards."

At this time, Bu Nazha countered: "But our city still needs a large amount of funds for a successful migration. If we really give it to those players, I wonder if it will affect our subsequent migration?"

Jiuhunuan replied calmly: "It's simple. We just need to announce that whoever destroys the most Nest Cores will receive the final incentive. Besides, whether or not that final incentive is actually issued isn't up to us to decide?"

Bu Nazha: "But what if we don't give it and they come to demand it?"

Jiuhunuan: "Bu Nazha, you are just too concerned with keeping your word. There is no need to keep promises to these players. Furthermore, the strength of this batch of players isn't even that great, so there's no need to worry."

Bu Nazha: "But………"

"Enough, General Bu Nazha." At this moment, Ma Lailaiyin suddenly interrupted Bu Nazha's speech. "Anke, I leave this matter to you to handle."

"As you command!" A gorgeously dressed woman walked with a seductive gait to arrange the relevant matters.

At this time, Zhao Yuxin also arrived at the front lines, but it was filled with soldiers fighting the Magma Cave Ant-men, and various artillery shells and skills were constantly alternating back and forth.

All sorts of chaotic noises were collected by her Bat Wing Ear, making Zhao Yuxin feel dizzy and even a bit nauseous.

"Baobao, remember to tell me if you see Dad." Zhao Yuxin couldn't stand it anymore. After instructing Xuebao to look for Zhu Zhiquan in her stead, she used cotton to plug her ears and rested in the carriage.

"Oof~" Xuebao responded and drove the Tricycle around, searching for Zhu Zhiquan's figure.

But with the battlefield so large, how could it best find Dad? And it couldn't speak, nor had it learned to read, so it couldn't communicate with others.

But if it asked Mom to communicate with these people, would that be bad? After all, Mom had just entrusted this task to it, and it couldn't let her down.

Suddenly, Xuebao had a flash of inspiration. It controlled the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon to blast a path, then drove the Tricycle along the edge of the two armies.

The surrounding Magma Cave Ant-men held Simple Long Spears, trying to block it head-on. But not to mention how sturdy the players' Tricycle was, even just the length of the Impact Cone on the Tricycle was longer than their weapons; before they could even extend their weapons, they were skewered like hedgehogs.

It was just that Xuebao doing this made the indigenous soldiers in the rear feel a bit awkward; after all, if it accidentally hit them, where would they go to reason?

If the Tricycle weren't relatively large and easy to identify, they would have blasted this thing to bits in a minute!

This behavior also attracted the attention of a Magma Cave Ant General. Seeing prey daring to charge wildly through the ant swarm, the Magma Cave Ant General felt provoked! It immediately entered its second phase, preparing to flip this vehicle.

"Watch out!" A soldier saw the Magma Cave Ant General entering its second phase and immediately issued a warning to Xuebao.

But by the time Xuebao heard the person's voice, that Magma Cave Ant General had already reached the side of the Tricycle and slammed a fist into it.

The massive blow was first partially absorbed by the Guardian Goddess Statue, and the remaining kinetic energy was completely absorbed by the Tricycle's armor.

The Magma Cave Ant General retracted its arm and saw that the vehicle didn't even have a dent, so it immediately mobilized its Magic Power, preparing to strike again.

At the same time, the huge noise also woke Zhao Yuxin, so she hurriedly released two Durian Warriors, preparing to see what was happening.

Boom!

At this moment, the Magma Cave Ant General's attack struck again, shifting the entire Tricycle a distance toward the indigenous side and leaving a dent on the carriage.

Seeing that its attack had taken effect, the Magma Cave Ant General immediately condensed Magic Power, preparing to swing another punch.

"Phoenix Cloud Fire!" At this moment, a loud shout came, and then four fire phoenixes knocked the Magma Cave Ant General back several steps, the insect shell on its body sizzling from the heat.

When it looked at the Tricycle again, it found a man holding a long spear with two swords strapped to his waist looking at it excitedly. And this man was none other than Zhu Zhiquan!
