Chapter 218: The Unhittable Opponent
"What a pity." Seeing the first opponent he encountered slip away, Zhu Zhiquan had no choice but to open the panel to check the Map Channel for where the next nearest player was.
Zhao Yuxin was somewhat surprised to see that Zhu Zhiquan chose not to pursue, and couldn't help but ask, "Ajiu, why didn't you choose to chase after them?"
Zhu Zhiquan did not answer explicitly, but instead had her open the panel to check the map function herself.
Zhao Yuxin suddenly grabbed his arm and acted spoiled, saying, "No, no, I want you to tell me yourself."
Zhu Zhiquan had no choice but to tell her to open the panel first so he could explain it properly.
Zhao Yuxin obediently did as she was told and adjusted the panel directly to the Map Channel; as soon as she entered, she saw two red dots and one green dot.
One red dot was moving away from the green dot, while the other was doing the opposite. This scene made her understand immediately, and without waiting for Zhu Zhiquan to speak, she judged, "Ajiu, are you planning to fight the car that is approaching from the front?"
Zhu Zhiquan's mouth, which had just opened, froze at Zhao Yuxin's judgment, and he then pouted and said, "No, you've already figured it out, why do you still need me to explain?"
"Hee hee~" Zhao Yuxin laughed and kissed Zhu Zhiquan, then looked at him with a shy face.
Zhu Zhiquan was stunned by this kiss, but soon he turned to the car window, lowered the outdoor extension platform, and placed the Combat Plants from their Flowerpots onto it.
Zhao Yuxin also finished putting on her gear, fully armed as she stared at the Map Channel.
"Oof~" At this moment, Xuebao suddenly shouted, then hurriedly turned the handlebars to change lanes.
Boom!
The road their Tricycle had been traveling on exploded, leaving behind a crimson crater.
Zhao Yuxin felt surprised, because her Bat Wing Ear had not heard anyone nearby launching an attack.
Zhu Zhiquan also poked his head out after the explosion and saw at a glance another player's Tricycle approaching from the front, though it appeared semi-transparent.
After being attacked, Zhao Yuxin immediately shouted, wanting to use the perception of her Bat Wing Ear to determine the opponent's position.
But the sound waves passed directly through the Tricycle in front without any refraction, which caused Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear to lose its effectiveness.
After waiting for a long time without receiving any rebounding sound waves, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but complain, "This Bat Wing Ear is really too useless; it didn't even detect the opponent!"
At this moment, a hand stretched out from the front of the Tricycle, a fist-sized ball of light slowly condensed in the palm, and it was thrown toward them again.
Seeing the light ball coming, Xuebao changed lanes again, and another explosion landed behind their vehicle.
The player in the front Tricycle continued to attack, but their teammate seemed to be dead; even until Xuebao drove the Tricycle to within 50 meters of the opponent's, this player was still using light balls to attack.
During this time, the plants on the outdoor extension platform also kept counterattacking, but those attacks hit the opponent's car as if hitting air, passing directly through the opponent's Tricycle without having any effect on the player inside.
"Virtualization? Interesting!" Zhu Zhiquan picked up the Xuangang Spear and flipped onto the roof of the car, his eyes filled with the desire to engage the opponent.
This time, their opponent was named Shen Yunqiu, who was currently looking at the approaching Zhu Zhiquan and the others with disdain on his face.
One second before the two cars collided, Shen Yunqiu looked into the rearview mirror, which reflected a blue hourglass-shaped Car Ornament in his cabin; at this moment, half the sand in the hourglass remained.
"There is still half the time left, enough for me to kill a player!" Shen Yunqiu muttered as Xuebao drove the Tricycle to collide with him; the two cars passed directly through each other as if the other did not exist.
During this, Zhu Zhiquan even made eye contact with him from the roof of the car, and seeing Zhu Zhiquan's burning eyes made Shen Yunqiu feel a hint of excitement.
At the same time, as Zhu Zhiquan passed through his car, he noticed the hourglass-shaped Car Ornament inside the cabin and immediately guessed that it was the source of his Virtualization!
Meanwhile, Shen Yunqiu quietly sprinkled a dash of fluorescent powder into Zhu Zhiquan's car; upon contact with their car, this fluorescent powder immediately merged into it.
After the two vehicles passed through each other, Shen Yunqiu rested his chin on his hand and thought, "It seems one of them is a lunatic, but that's not bad either; it's just right for me to see what this guy is capable of!"
Zhao Yuxin was different; seeing the opponent being so eerie, she immediately suggested to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, let's leave quickly. I feel like we might not be able to kill the opponent."
"No! Such a powerful talent skill must have its flaws; we don't need to run!" Saying this, Zhu Zhiquan used Phoenix Cloud Fire against Shen Yunqiu's car.
Four fire phoenixes flew rapidly toward Shen Yunqiu's car, and after weaving back and forth through Shen Yunqiu's car several times, the four fire phoenixes exploded inside his cabin.
But Shen Yunqiu's car was still in a special state, and Zhu Zhiquan's attack had no effect at all.
"My turn to counterattack!" Shen Yunqiu threw another light ball, but Xuebao dodged it easily while driving.
Seeing the opponent still throwing light balls, Zhao Yuxin immediately stuck her head out, made a face at him, and taunted, "Blehh~ You missed! Don't you have any other way to attack?"
"Wow~ How pathetic. I wonder what your teammate is doing; are they not attacking because they're saving it for the New Year? Or is it that you don't have a teammate at all?"
"Tsk tsk~ Could it be that miserable? A single method of attack and no teammate to help; I really don't know how you plan to survive in this game? If you really can't do it, just let us kill you; that way, at least you'll live until the next world."
Shen Yunqiu ignored Zhao Yuxin's words and looked at Zhu Zhiquan with anticipation, waiting to see what method he would have to break his ability.
Zhu Zhiquan, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, because the hourglass he had seen at the time still had about half the sand left, so he was not anxious, but instead stood where he was and observed Shen Yunqiu's car in detail.
He saw that there was a four-barreled Gatling turret on the roof of Shen Yunqiu's car; his Tricycle likely followed the Magic Route, as there were many special patterns on it whose purpose was unknown.
Zhao Yuxin poked her head out to look at Shen Yunqiu's car; at this moment, the opponent was no longer attacking, nor was he driving over to collide with them. This left her a bit confused, so she looked at Zhu Zhiquan and asked, "Ajiu, what is he up to?"
Zhu Zhiquan did not respond to her; at this moment, he felt that something was wrong. Because no matter how strong this Virtualization ability was, there was a time limit; the opponent should have driven straight into them, so why were they still in a standoff?
Suddenly, Zhu Zhiquan felt something was wrong, and immediately jumped off the car and shouted, "Everyone, get out of the car!"
Although Zhao Yuxin and Xuebao didn't know what was going on, they immediately jumped off the car and stood with Zhu Zhiquan.
Immediately after, their Tricycle suddenly extended a bunch of tentacles with Spikes; these tentacles were also dripping with some sticky liquid, which made one feel like vomiting just looking at it.
"When did we get hit by this!?" Zhao Yuxin immediately released two Durian Warriors and a Hook-Lock Tree Demon to stand in front of her, asking the question with an expression of disbelief.
Behind them, Xuebao saw their car turn into this and was so angry it wanted to rush up and beat it, but it was too timid, and as soon as it saw those sticky tentacles, it was scared into hiding behind Zhao Yuxin.
And Zhu Zhiquan, seeing this tentacle-filled Tricycle, felt even more excited. At the same time, the last grain of sand in Shen Yunqiu's Car Ornament fell, and his Virtualization ability vanished along with it.
