Chapter 178: Jiugong Xizi's Revenge

Upon hearing the three words "Phoenix Cloud Fire," Zhao Yuxin immediately knew that Zhu Zhiquan had arrived, so she took the Xunfeng Crossbow and went to the vehicle window.

As soon as she poked her head out, she saw Zhu Zhiquan stepping on his Five-Star Sword and fighting the Magma Cave Ant General, and this time, he seemed to be at a disadvantage again.

Zhao Yuxin didn't care whether Zhu Zhiquan had the upper hand or not; she shouted directly at him, "Ajiu, hurry back and stay in the back with me!"

Whether it was because the battlefield was too noisy or the fighting too intense, Zhu Zhiquan didn't seem to hear her shouting, and he continued to trade blows with the Magma Cave Ant General in mid-air.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin told Xuebao to drive more steadily while she aimed at the Magma Cave Ant General, preparing to deal it a fatal blow.

In mid-air, Zhu Zhiquan grew more excited the longer he fought, because he felt his combat techniques improving further; coupled with the upgraded Boiling Blood constantly raising his attributes, the gap in strength between him and the Magma Cave Ant General was narrowing.

Furthermore, as the battle progressed, the surrounding air began to distort due to the high temperature generated by the Boiling Blood talent, and even the Five-Star Sword beneath his feet began to turn red.

The Magma Cave Ant General was also feeling very stifled; it could sense that the opponent was growing stronger as his own temperature rose, and more importantly, this guy's blood was as hot as magma—every time it struck him and drew blood, it would scald its insect shell.

It simply condensed Magic Power on the surface of its body to reduce the risk of being scalded.

The two sides clashed for a long time, and soon the gap in strength between Zhu Zhiquan and the Magma Cave Ant General was leveled; before long, Zhu Zhiquan turned the tables and began to suppress the Magma Cave Ant General.

Just when Zhao Yuxin inside the carriage thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, another Magma Cave Ant General that had entered its second stage flew out from the Ant Swarm and joined the battle above.

Worried that Zhu Zhiquan would be in danger this time, Zhao Yuxin prepared to pull the trigger.

At this moment, a group of native soldiers flew into mid-air to fight the other arriving Magma Cave Ant General, and seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Zhao Yuxin silently retracted the Xunfeng Crossbow.

Dong dong dong~

"Player inside, can you come out? We have something we'd like to ask for your help with."

Zhao Yuxin poked her head out of the window and asked, "What is it?"

Standing before her was a person dressed in luxurious clothing, holding a document in their hand. They spoke slowly, "Greetings, Player. Our City Lord has arranged a new mission for me to relay to you all."

Zhao Yuxin: "What activity?"

The person opened the document in their hand and said, "As long as you help us destroy the Nest Core, you may receive our rewards; the more you destroy, the more generous the rewards."

"Hmm~ let me consider it."

"Very well, then could I ask you to post this document to that channel of yours?"

"That's simple!" Without a second thought, Zhao Yuxin sent the contents of the document to the World Channel, and for a time, intense discussion erupted on the World Channel.

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Oh? Is this document real? After we destroy the Nest Core, will these natives really give rewards?"

Ailutie de Zhanzhang: "Who cares if it's just this document? Can't we just find any native and ask them?"

Yangguang Xujie: "It's true. The natives were preparing to send someone to tell me. Believe it or not, it's up to you; I'm going to destroy the Nest Core with my teammates first."

Shamowangchu: "Sigh~ don't be like that. I believe you. Can you help disclose where the Nest Core is? I'll trade you 50 units of Gasoline!"

………………

Zhao Yuxin closed the panel, signaling that she had finished sending it. The native in the luxurious clothing thanked her simply and walked straight toward the center of the army.

Zhao Yuxin looked into mid-air again and found that the battle between Zhu Zhiquan and the Magma Cave Ant General had been decided; the current Magma Cave Ant General was completely suppressed by Zhu Zhiquan and could be killed at any moment.

So, Zhao Yuxin told Xuebao to drive the Tricycle back to the army formation, while she herself picked out a suitable tool in the carriage, preparing to teach Zhu Zhiquan a good lesson when he returned!

Soon, Zhu Zhiquan slew the Magma Cave Ant General before him. He had originally intended to kill the other Magma Cave Ant General, but his Nightmare Demon Eye had reached its limit and he had to go down to rest first.

"Zhu Zhiquan~ you're done fighting, right?" At this moment, Zhao Yuxin's voice came, making Zhu Zhiquan's hair stand on end.

He immediately looked at the army formation below and saw at a glance that Zhao Yuxin was standing beside the Tricycle, holding a stick in her hand, looking at him with a smile.

Yet Zhu Zhiquan could tell from her gaze that things didn't seem that simple, so he controlled the Five-Star Sword to land slowly beside Zhao Yuxin.

Before he even landed, Zhao Yuxin grabbed his ear and questioned him: "Come here~ Mr. Zhu, let me ask you, do you know how many times I sent you messages? Do you know how long Baobao and I waited for you in the car………"

Zhu Zhiquan kept his head lowered the entire time, being scolded by Zhao Yuxin while she held his ear.

Not until other players drove their Tricycles to the front line of the battlefield did Zhao Yuxin stop scolding Zhu Zhiquan and start discussing business with him.

"Alright, aren't you ashamed of yourself, a grown man hanging his head like that!" Zhao Yuxin said, sitting on the edge of the carriage. "Earlier, the natives found me and told me there are rewards for destroying the Nest Core.

They also wanted me to spread the news to the World Channel, and now all the players know about this. Anyway, what do you think about this?"

Zhu Zhiquan propped up his chin and analyzed: "These natives suddenly holding this kind of activity is clearly them wanting us players to work for them.

In my opinion, they will definitely give out the rewards, but as for what they give and how much, isn't that up to them? So, the activity they announced can only be for a small number of people."

Zhao Yuxin nodded: "Then do you think we should participate or not?"

"Participate! Of course we should participate!" Zhu Zhiquan said excitedly. "If we can take first place or something, wouldn't we have a chance to fleece the natives?"

"I think you just want more opportunities to satisfy your desire for battle!" Zhao Yuxin retorted as she entered the carriage and instructed Xuebao: "Baobao, let's go, we'll find a chance to pass through this nest."

"Mm!" Xuebao excitedly stepped on the gas, and the Tricycle quickly charged into the Ant Swarm.

But the two of them seemed to have forgotten that Zhu Zhiquan hadn't gotten on yet, leaving Zhu Zhiquan stunned in place. He soon reacted, chasing after the Tricycle while shouting: "Hey~ Azhao! Wait for me, I haven't gotten on yet!"

"Run and get on yourself! Xuebao, go faster." Zhao Yuxin said sulkily inside the carriage.

Zhu Zhiquan had wanted to control the Five-Star Sword to fly, but his Magic Power was already low, so to prevent any accidents, he had no choice but to hack a path through the many Magma Cave Ant Men.

At this moment, Jiugong Xizi also happened to see Zhu Zhiquan and the others entering the Ant Swarm. She turned to look at the body bag containing Jiugong Cilang, then gave the order: "Order everyone, chase after them! We must avenge my brother!"

"Hai!" Her secretary posted the order to the Player Group chat, and then the entire Black Mouth Dao Group let out a roar, driving their Tricycles into the Ant Swarm.
