Chapter 212: Highway Chase Part 1

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's warning, Zhu Zhiquan immediately picked up his weapon and observed his surroundings. Soon, he discovered a large group of Player Group Tricycles following behind; they had clearly followed them from the temple area!

Zhu Zhiquan: "Azhao, what happened!?"

Zhao Yuxin: "I should be asking you that! How did you reject those people just now? You made them increase the bounty!"

Zhu Zhiquan frowned deeply. They were currently on a highway; although there wasn't much traffic, even a single vehicle on the road posed a great threat to them!

"Xuebao, accelerate! Floor the gas pedal!" Zhu Zhiquan said, raising the Xunfeng Crossbow to aim at the pursuing players behind them.

"Mm?" Xuebao didn't know what had happened, but still floored the gas pedal as much as possible, driving the Tricycle at high speed along the highway.

The pursuing players behind saw their target accelerate and successively increased their speed to close in on Zhu Zhiquan and the others, while simultaneously adjusting their cannon muzzles to aim at them.

But at this moment, Zhao Yuxin ordered the plants to counterattack. In an instant, a large pile of fruits vaulted over the heavy traffic in between, covering the route the players were using to pursue them.

Boom, boom, boom~

Some players who couldn't dodge in time were blown up on the spot. Their Tricycles were overturned by the explosions, triggering a butterfly effect that subsequently caused a traffic jam across the entire highway.

"Hmph, just you lot? That's practically a piece of cake." Seeing the plants' performance, Zhao Yuxin had intended to show off, but the scene before her left her stunned.

She saw the ruins caused by the fruit explosions suddenly Float in the air, and immediately after, a large group of players drove their Tricycles to continue their pursuit.

What was even more dire was that the previous wave of explosions had cleared away almost all the vehicles blocking their path, and the pursuing players behind quickly aimed their cannon muzzles at them.

"Xuebao, change lanes!" At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan shouted and threw out an Explosive Chili, and a cloud of Chili Dust instantly obscured their Tricycle. Xuebao also reacted immediately, changing the lane they were driving in.

Boom, boom, boom~

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Rat-tat-tat~

Bang, bang, bang~

Just the moment they changed lanes, cannonballs, fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, and other attacks flew past, grazing their Tricycle.

At the same time, the players' Tricycles passed through the Chili Dust. The players, having no protection, came into direct contact with the pervasive Chili Dust, causing their entire bodies to burn, which made them unable to even hold onto their handlebars firmly.

Zhao Yuxin took the opportunity to scatter a large handful of Pinecone Mines. The players in the lead sensed danger; some hurriedly turned their handlebars to swerve, while others slammed on their brakes.

As a result, the sudden, excessive turning caused many vehicles to flip over on the spot. The players behind didn't see Zhao Yuxin's actions and crashed directly into the vehicles in front, pushing them all the way until they ran over the Pinecone Mines, triggering a series of explosions.

Boom, boom, boom~

"Damn it, what are you doing!"

"Hey! What happened in front! Why did you stop suddenly!"

"Oh~ brothers, we're just going to speed right past; you lot can just follow behind our butts and eat dust!"

"Screw you! Who told you to run so fast! Take a big fireball from me first!"

"Damn it! Aren't we on the same side?"

"Who's on the same side as you!? Whoever touches our bounty is our enemy!"

………………

After the successive bombings by the Pinecone Mines, the players in the rear began to blame each other and open fire, but their pursuit did not stop.

While these players were still busy blaming each other, Zhao Yuxin assisted the Hook-Lock Tree Demon in fixing various Combat Plants from their Flowerpots onto the outdoor extension platform.

Zhu Zhiquan, meanwhile, took the Durian Warriors and used the Xunfeng Crossbow to shoot at the fastest Tricycles, and system notification sounds rang out in their minds continuously.

"Congratulations on killing a player, you have gained 250 points."

"Congratulations on killing two players, you have gained 500 points."

"Congratulations on killing a player, you have gained 250 points."

"Congratulations……………"

After continuously killing who knows how many players, the pursuing players behind were perhaps frightened, and they all slowed down, fearing they would be shot by Zhu Zhiquan and the Durian Warriors.

Zhao Yuxin, who had just finished fixing the various Combat Plants with the Hook-Lock Tree Demon, was preparing to direct a counterattack, but seeing that all these pursuing players had slowed down, she was stunned on the spot.

Zhu Zhiquan also opened the World Channel; it was filled with fear and insults directed at them, as well as some appreciative Player Groups sending them invitations.

Looking at the players keeping their distance behind, Zhao Yuxin rested one hand on a Vine, turned her head, and asked Zhu Zhiquan: "How is it? How should we deal with the players behind?"

Zhu Zhiquan closed the panel, his eyes filled with killing intent, and then asked Zhao Yuxin in return: "Where is the Psychic Mushroom Grass?"

"Right here." Zhao Yuxin patted the Flowerpot beneath the Psychic Mushroom Grass.

Zhu Zhiquan took a few steps to the side of the Psychic Mushroom Grass, then threw another question at Zhao Yuxin: "Are there any intersections ahead?"

"Wait a moment." Zhao Yuxin immediately closed her eyes, carefully listening to the environment within a three-kilometer radius.

At this moment, her ears were like super sonar, gathering the received sound waves into an image in her mind, and she soon locked onto an intersection.

Zhao Yuxin then said: "Ajiu, there is a crossroads about two kilometers ahead. I think that place could be advantageous for us to shake off the players behind."

"No!" Zhu Zhiquan said decisively, "Baobao, slow down!"

Zhao Yuxin opened her mouth, about to drop, and said in a questioning tone: "Ajiu, what are you doing!"

Zhu Zhiquan ignored Zhao Yuxin and instead instructed the Psychic Mushroom Grass: "Don't release the Flying Sword for a moment; wait until I tell you to release it."

The Psychic Mushroom Grass shook its mushroom cap, as if giving a simple response to Zhu Zhiquan.

Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan raised the Xunfeng Crossbow again, preparing to shoot the approaching players along with the Durian Warriors, and Zhao Yuxin also raised her Xunfeng Crossbow.

The pursuing players saw that Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle had slowed down and were unsure what the other side was planning, but still, no one recklessly rushed forward.

Immediately after, Zhu Zhiquan told Xuebao to reduce the speed further, and the Tricycle's speed dropped even more, causing some players to start guessing.

"Could it be that they've run out of fuel?"

"Very likely, otherwise it doesn't explain why they would slow down."

"That's true, but there are really too many local vehicles here; I'm worried this will affect our chance to kill Zhu Zhiquan!"

"But even without the interference of the locals, the strange plants on their vehicle don't look like they're just for show!"

…………………

While the players were deliberating, one player suddenly accelerated and circled behind a small sedan, attempting to use it to get closer to Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle.

Zhao Yuxin sneered as she looked at that player, immediately raising the Xunfeng Crossbow to prepare to kill the approaching player.

But Zhu Zhiquan pressed down on her crossbow, his eyes filled with a bit more cunning.

Zhao Yuxin was puzzled by this and asked, "Ajiu, what are you doing? If..."

"Shh—" Zhu Zhiquan suddenly made a gesture for silence, then plucked some Chili from the Explosive Chili Tree and secretly pulled the curtain at the back of the carriage shut.

Zhao Yuxin really could not understand what Zhu Zhiquan was trying to do, so she simply knelt before the Guardian Goddess Statue, placed some offerings, and prayed to increase the defense of the Tricycle.
