Chapter 180: Falling Crisis
Before Zhu Zhiquan could figure out what was going on, Zhao Yuxin had already come to the carriage and shouted down to the Black-Mouth Blade Group: "Um... excuse me, our Resurrection Scroll was stolen, could you please..."
"Idiot! Do you take me for a fool!" Jiugong Xizi cursed angrily. "You managed to lose something so important? And you say it was stolen? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe that! All members of the Black-Mouth Blade Group, attack!"
Instantly, the Black-Mouth Blade Group fired at Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle again, but this time, the Magma Cave Ant General held by the Hook-Lock Tree Demon appeared to remain at the same altitude, though in reality, they had already ascended to a position near 600.
Zhao Yuxin looked at the Black-Mouth Blade Group below, knowing that Jiugong Xizi would no longer listen to her explanation, so she simply began to think about how to get down.
She then asked Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, what do we do now? If we go down, we will definitely be focused-fired by the Player Group led by Jiugong Xizi, but if we don't go down, who knows where this Magma Cave Ant General will take us."
After pondering, Zhu Zhiquan said: "Let's wait until they are all tired, then we will slaughter the Magma Cave Ant General above, and then control the Five-Star Sword to act as a parachute to bring the vehicle to the ground. Finally, we will use the attached skill of the Spirit Valley Longsword to carve out a path!"
"Alright, I'll notify Sister Ling and the others first." As she said this, Zhao Yuxin sent a private message to Ling Xi, reminding them to check if anything of theirs was missing, and telling them to keep an eye out for the Daobanan they met last time.
Soon, the attacks from the Black-Mouth Blade Group below became fewer and fewer, and Zhu Zhiquan and the others prepared to follow the plan to kill the Magma Cave Ant General held by the Hook-Lock Tree Demon first.
But at this moment, two more Magma Cave Ant Generals and one Magma Cave Great General flew out from the ant swarm. Seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan immediately had the Hook-Lock Tree Demon let go, and he and Zhao Yuxin used the Five-Star Sword simultaneously to descend to the ground.
The Magma Cave Great General looked at the descending Zhu Zhiquan and the others, as well as the Black-Mouth Blade Group rampaging through the ant swarm, and let out a sinister smile.
Immediately, the Magma Cave Great General released its pressure, causing everyone present to be unable to move.
After being subjected to the pressure of the Magma Cave Great General, Zhu Zhiquan and the others lost control of their Magic Power, and the Five-Star Sword, having lost its source of Magic Power, could no longer support the Tricycle's descent, causing the Tricycle to plummet straight down.
Under the suppression of the Magma Cave Great General, the Black-Mouth Blade Group below suffered successive vehicle crashes, which made the surrounding Magma Cave Ant-Men see an opportunity, and they all became excited.
A powerful sense of suffocation and pressure weighed on everyone, making Zhao Yuxin feel that this time it was truly over, and she reached out desperately, wanting to grab Zhu Zhiquan's hand.
As for Zhu Zhiquan, even at this point, he did not give up struggling, directly activating the Boiling Blood talent to attempt to control the Five-Star Sword again.
This height of six hundred meters was like the hourglass of the Grim Reaper; as soon as they hit the ground, they would be smashed into meat paste and then devoured by the Magma Cave Ant-Men below.
At this moment, the Magma Cave Great General and the Magma Cave Ant Generals in the sky were grinning, and Jiugong Xizi, who was also in crisis below, was looking up expectantly.
Under the blessing of the Boiling Blood talent, the temperature inside the vehicle rose rapidly, turning the entire interior of the Tricycle into an oven. It even allowed Zhu Zhiquan to withstand the pressure and regain contact with the Five-Star Sword.
Thus, Zhu Zhiquan manipulated the Five-Star Sword to fly under the vehicle again, and the Five-Star Sword immediately flew toward the bottom of the Tricycle.
However, under the pressure of the Magma Cave Great General, its flight speed was restricted, which meant it was simply too late to fly under the Tricycle to provide buoyancy.
In the driver's seat, Xuebao was suppressed and unable to move, regretting not having eaten more delicious food before setting off, and now could only weep silently in the carriage.
Even while enduring the high temperature, Zhao Yuxin kept trying to get closer to Zhu Zhiquan; at this moment, she only wanted to die together with Zhu Zhiquan in these final moments.
Below, the Magma Cave Ant-Men who couldn't eat the Black-Mouth Blade Group looked up at the falling Zhu Zhiquan and the others, and tears of frustration flowed from their mouths.
Just as Zhu Zhiquan and the others were about to hit the ground, another, stronger pressure arrived to help them dissipate the stress.
It also caused the Five-Star Sword controlled by Zhu Zhiquan to suddenly accelerate, but just as it was about to reach the bottom of their Tricycle, Zhu Zhiquan's Magic Power was completely exhausted.
When Zhao Yuxin hugged him, Zhu Zhiquan's heart also calmed down. Zhu Zhiquan turned his head to look out the car window, as if the whole world had slowed down.
"Perhaps it is because of you that I am not afraid of death..." Zhao Yuxin's soft whisper was like a breeze, blowing past Zhu Zhiquan's ear.
At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan also deactivated the Boiling Blood talent, his heavy eyelids slowly falling, and he closed them completely with a heavy sigh.
The two waited quietly for the Tricycle to fall, but after waiting for a long time, they did not wait for the expected impact; instead, they heard Xuebao's cheerful voice.
Zhao Yuxin was the first to come to the window and look out, discovering that Xuebao was frolicking outside, and the Hook-Lock Tree Demon and the Durian Warrior were both on guard outside.
At the same time, there was a pile of Magma Cave Ant-Man remains lying below them, and beside their vehicle, a group of indigenous soldiers were guarding the surroundings.
And two hundred meters away from them, a large number of Magma Cave Ant-Men seemed to be suppressed by someone's massive pressure, all kneeling on the ground unable to move.
Zhu Zhiquan walked out of the Tricycle carriage and looked up, only to see a general staring at the Magma Cave Great General and the Magma Cave Ant Generals.
This general was draped in a red Taiji cloak, wearing a full set of pitch-black battle armor, with countless bolts of lightning circling around him, and the weapon in his hand was a ring-shaped blade.
Unfortunately, because Zhu Zhiquan was standing directly below this general, he could not see his face clearly.
However, Zhu Zhiquan could clearly see that the Magma Cave Great General, which had suppressed him until he couldn't breathe just by its pressure, showed a look of fear in front of this general.
The Magma Cave Great General waved its hand, and all the surrounding Magma Cave Ant Generals immediately rushed up, while it flew in the direction it had come from.
Facing the incoming Magma Cave Ant Generals, the general's eyes flashed with golden light, and then the lightning all over his body became incomparably violent, electrocuting the approaching Magma Cave Ant Generals into ash.
Zhu Zhiquan had a premonition that it would be over soon, so he activated the Nightmare Demon Eye, preparing to enjoy the battle of an expert.
But when the general disappeared amidst the crackling sound of lightning, Zhu Zhiquan did not even see how the other party had disappeared.
Boom—!!!
A thunderous explosion came from not far away. Zhu Zhiquan turned his head to look and found that the arrogant Magma Cave Great General had been killed in one move by this general.
This speed! This power! Filled Zhu Zhiquan's eyes with envy, and of course, even more so with a longing for strength! If he could have half of his strength, how could they have fallen into such a wretched state?
Inside the carriage, Zhao Yuxin also lost her usual enthusiasm, her eyes filled only with the shock of the scene just now and the lingering fear of having escaped death.
At this moment, she, like Zhu Zhiquan, had the same thought: to work hard to improve her strength, so that she could continue to move forward!
