Chapter 207: Two-Pronged Attack (Part 1)
Zhao Yuxin took Xuebao to catch fish in the river, while Zhu Zhiquan stayed in the carriage reading various books incessantly; in order to successfully learn all the talent skills, he had read every single book more than six times.
Unfortunately, after reading for so long, not a single book allowed him to learn a new talent skill.
By the riverside, Xuebao was very nervous facing the small river and dared not go into the water to catch fish at all. In contrast, Zhao Yuxin had already caught a bucket of fish in the river, along with many river shrimp and river crabs.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear twitched; she turned her head to look in the direction the sound came from, then shouted: "Ajiu, people are coming over there soon; judging by the sound, they should be players!"
Hearing that players were coming, Zhu Zhiquan scrambled out of the carriage in excitement. This made Zhao Yuxin unable to help but cover her forehead, but that was just the sort of temperament Zhu Zhiquan had—he always liked to get into a fight with others all day long.
Zhao Yuxin then added: "Don't be impatient, the other party is still a few kilometers away from us; next, we can make some preparations first to prevent overturning."
Having said that, she went into the reed cluster to release various Combat Plants, preparing to ambush the other side at a critical moment.
Zhu Zhiquan, meanwhile, checked his equipment to ensure he wouldn't drop the ball when the battle started in a moment.
Seeing them in this state, Xuebao immediately understood that a battle was about to happen and instantly dove back into the carriage to hide behind the Guardian Goddess Statue.
After Zhu Zhiquan finished his preparations, he vaguely saw a Tricycle driving toward them from the middle of the reeds in the distance. Seeing this, he said to Zhao Yuxin: "Azhao, I'll test the other side's level first."
Zhao Yuxin rolled her eyes at him, "What? Are you looking down on these plants of mine? You should know that enemies you can't kill can be handled easily by the plants I create!"
Zhu Zhiquan dismissed this with disdain. What a joke! Opponents he couldn't kill could be killed by your plants? That is simply wishful thinking!
However, he did not argue with Zhao Yuxin, just quietly waiting for the other party to arrive.
In the middle of the reeds in the distance, Li Zixuan had seen quite a few uncollected supplies when he arrived, and judging by the scale, people from four vehicles had died in battle here.
And ahead was the last location Moyuhang sent before he died; it was clear he had been defeated by some expert.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly had Jiang Yuyue stop the vehicle and took out binoculars to observe. Soon, he saw Zhu Zhiquan in the distance, fully armed, looking in their direction, but he did not see where his teammate was.
Li Zixuan frowned, staring intently at Zhu Zhiquan's direction in thought. "This guy seems to be one of the two people who were stocking up yesterday. I remember their strength was quite good; presumably, Moyuhang and those unlucky ones from those few vehicles were killed by them!"
Li Zixuan put down the binoculars, then opened the panel to switch to the Friend Channel and sent a private message to a player named Xuan Yanwu: "Little Xuan, gather some people to come over. I have big trouble here; I'll send you the location in a moment."
"Okay."
Xuan Yanwu agreed readily. Li Zixuan did not intend to go head-to-head with Zhu Zhiquan and the others right now, ordering Jiang Yuyue to reverse the vehicle to keep as much distance as possible from Zhu Zhiquan and the others.
Zhu Zhiquan saw the Tricycle in the distance suddenly reverse and was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected the players in the distance to be such cowards! They ran away before the fight even started.
However, he didn't think about chasing them, as Zhao Yuxin wouldn't easily let him pursue. As Jiang Yuyue kept reversing, Zhu Zhiquan completely lost sight of the other party, but he did not relax his vigilance because of this; instead, he gripped his weapon tighter.
Zhao Yuxin listened carefully to the roar of the other party's engine. Relying on the keen hearing of her Bat Wing Ear, Zhao Yuxin immediately determined that the other party had not gone far.
Then Zhao Yuxin said to Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, they haven't gone far. I suspect they are waiting for someone."
After hearing this, Zhu Zhiquan returned to the carriage to take out a seed of the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine, his eyes filled with heat. He slowly walked into the reed cluster and planted the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine.
Watching the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine grow bit by bit, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Ajiu, what are you trying to do?"
Zhu Zhiquan turned his head, and the baleful aura on him was enough to scare someone out of their wits! Even Zhao Yuxin was so frightened by this scene that she took several steps back.
Zhu Zhiquan stretched out a hand and said: "Azhao, can you help lead the way? We absolutely cannot wait until we are being beaten to fight back; it would be better to chase them down and wipe them out!"
Looking at the fierce-looking Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Yuxin didn't know how to refuse. The surrounding reeds caressed their faces with the breeze, as if cheering her on.
In the end, Zhao Yuxin plucked up her courage to brush aside his invitation, then walked forward to touch his cheek and persuade him: "Ajiu, what I said just now was only a guess, and even if the other side really calls for help, we can avoid them now; there's no need to go on a killing spree!"
Zhu Zhiquan was shocked at first, then shook his head in disappointment, "Azhao, didn't you agree with me to get as many points as possible? Why are you going back on your word so quickly?"
At this moment, every word Zhu Zhiquan said was very gentle, yet every word revealed a murderous intent, which made Zhao Yuxin feel very uneasy; his ferocious face revealed nothing but a thirst for battle.
But seeing that Zhu Zhiquan was at risk of falling into a demonic obsession, Zhao Yuxin still tried to dissuade him: "No! Ajiu, I think you need to relax more right now! Be good, listen to me, let's leave here first and stop worrying about the players who just approached us."
Zhu Zhiquan didn't care about this; he took the newly planted Green Leaf Burrowing Vine with him, turned around, and used the reed cluster to cover his figure as he crawled toward the direction where Li Zixuan had retreated.
Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan refused to listen to her, Zhao Yuxin decided to take him away by force! Thus, Zhao Yuxin first retracted the plants she had released, then grabbed his ear and hauled him toward the carriage.
Being grabbed by the ear by Zhao Yuxin, the baleful aura on Zhu Zhiquan's body dissipated by more than half, and he followed her back to the carriage obediently.
Then, to prevent any accidents, Zhao Yuxin had Xuebao drive away from here at full speed.
Receiving Zhao Yuxin's instructions, Xuebao quickly went to the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the Tricycle away quickly.
The roar of the Tricycle passed through the village. Zhao Yuxin said earnestly to Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, don't you think your killing intent is too heavy?"
"Heavy?" Zhu Zhiquan was confused for a moment, "Where is my killing intent heavy?"
Zhao Yuxin was just about to explain, but her Bat Wing Ear keenly captured that three Tricycles were approaching from three kilometers ahead, and according to the sound waves transmitted, the engines of these three Tricycles were very different.
The situation was urgent, and Zhao Yuxin didn't have time to properly guide Zhu Zhiquan, so she had to say to him: "Ajiu, remember not to go on a killing spree at every turn in the future; it's very bad for your inner world!"
Zhu Zhiquan wanted to retort, but Zhao Yuxin grabbed his hands and asked expectantly: "Please, promise me, okay? Don't kill people unless necessary in the future!"
Looking at her trembling eyes, Zhu Zhiquan's heart couldn't help but soften, so he had to agree to Zhao Yuxin.
After receiving Zhu Zhiquan's promise, Zhao Yuxin then told him the information she had perceived.
