After over ten minutes of processing, Zhao Yuxin collapsed onto the ground and said, "Mommy, I'm exhausted! Why are these tentacles so hard to deal with?"

Zhu Zhiquan tossed the last tentacle to the side of the road, scooped Zhao Yuxin up, and carried her back into the carriage; Xuebao also returned to the carriage, crawled into its own sleeping bag, and began to sleep.

The two Durian Warriors and the Hook-Lock Treant stood guard around the Tricycle to prevent any accidents from happening.

Zhao Yuxin looked at the sleeping Xuebao, then asked Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, what are we doing next?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "I'll take the first watch; I'll ensure we can kill a player at any time within half an hour."

Zhao Yuxin: "Alright, then let's tidy up the things here, and we'll switch shifts after one o'clock in the morning. As for the loot, we'll tally it tomorrow."

Zhu Zhiquan said nothing more, called the Hook-Lock Treant over to help pick out some supplies and useful blueprints, and drove the Tricycle forward along the road.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yuxin arranged the surviving Combat Plants neatly, crawled into her sleeping bag, and began to sleep, while the two Durian Warriors and the Hook-Lock Treant kept watch inside the carriage.

Next, Zhu Zhiquan drove the Tricycle and encountered players three times in succession; in two of those instances, the players managed to run away completely unscathed.

The remaining time, he encountered a complete group, but it seemed they had just killed a player not long ago and didn't want to engage in a bitter fight with Zhu Zhiquan; in the end, one of the two people was left behind and killed by Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan grumbled, "These players are really cowardly. Have they all put their Survival Points into running away now? Why are there so few who can fight me to my heart's content?"

When he opened the Map Channel, he saw a small convoy gathered about twenty kilometers away. The fire of battle in Zhu Zhiquan's heart climbed step by step, but he turned to look at the sleeping Zhao Yuxin and Xuebao, and shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, even if I'm confident I can wipe out this squad, if a single expert holds me back and launches an attack on the Tricycle, even if I win, I might get scolded by Azhao." Thinking of this, Zhu Zhiquan drove away from the convoy on the map.

As it turned out, after driving a short distance, Zhu Zhiquan kept feeling like that convoy was following him, so he stopped to observe the situation.

He saw this convoy accelerate toward Zhu Zhiquan after he stopped. Even when encountering other players, this convoy did not stop.

This made Zhu Zhiquan very excited, because this way he could fight them openly and honestly without worrying about being reprimanded by Zhao Yuxin!

Just as he was about to close the panel, he discovered that there were several other convoys approaching him from other directions.

"This isn't right! This shouldn't be a convoy, but a Player Group!" Having realized this, a scorching light ignited in Zhu Zhiquan's eyes once again, "Perfect, just let me properly experience your strength!"

In the direction Zhu Zhiquan and his group were previously heading, Wang Ce stared at a White Crystal Ball, which displayed the distance between Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin and them.

An assistant to the side compared it to the map display and reported: "Regiment Leader, according to the comparison between the Map Channel and the crystal ball, the person who caused you embarrassment is within our encirclement."

Wang Ce took a puff of his cigar, then jammed it heavily into an ashtray, exhaling smoke as he said: "Very good. You tell everyone, no matter what, do not let them get away!"

"Yes." The assistant immediately sent his order to the Player Group Channel.

……………

In the middle of the night, on a road, Zhu Zhiquan had a Durian Warrior scatter Landmine Pinecones along the way and arranged for the Hook-Lock Treant to secure the Combat Plants in their Flowerpots, making it convenient to launch a counterattack at any time.

The last Durian Warrior stood guard next to Zhao Yuxin and Xuebao; once there was an emergency, it would be convenient for Zhu Zhiquan to wake them up.

"Where should I use as the breakthrough point next?" Zhu Zhiquan stared at the map, analyzing the enemy's movements. "Currently, the enemy occupies an absolute numerical advantage; a head-on collision is definitely impossible. I must find a suitable location to start the battle!"

After repeated analysis and calculation, Zhu Zhiquan finally determined that an ancient town not far away was suitable for a counterattack, and he immediately drove toward the ancient town.

While driving, Zhu Zhiquan watched the map and discovered that seven or eight players in the direction of the ancient town were also approaching them. Seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan did not rush over, but instead observed the surrounding environment.

At this moment, he was on a country path, and the map would only display the locations of players; it would not display the creations of players.

Zhu Zhiquan simply ordered the Hook-Lock Treant to hide the Combat Plants from the Flowerpots in the surrounding flowerbeds, and the two Durian Warriors each held a Xunfeng Crossbow, one on the left and one on the right, lying on the roofs of the village houses.

Next, Zhu Zhiquan turned off the Tricycle's engine, then scattered Landmine Pinecones and thumbtacks in front, only then returning to the Tricycle carriage to pick up his weapon and stand ready.

At the same time, for easier observation, Zhu Zhiquan leaned against the rear window; the sweat in his palms dripped onto the carriage floor, and an excited smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Soon, a series of roars accompanied by bright light slowly approached from the distance. When the headlights of the lead vehicle in the squad shone on their Tricycle, Zhu Zhiquan immediately controlled the Five-Star Sword to reach the roof along the shadows.

At this moment, the convoy saw the engine-off Tricycle, immediately stopped moving, and uploaded the situation here to the Player Group Channel.

Seeing that the other side did not intend to come over, Zhu Zhiquan lowered his head and pondered, "Since they refuse to come closer, I can only let those two Durian Warriors attract their attention first."

Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan made a gesture at the windows on both sides respectively. The two Durian Warriors immediately understood Zhu Zhiquan's meaning, crawled on the roof to quietly reach the end of the convoy, switched their weapons to Ion Chimera Bombs, and launched a surprise attack on them.

Boom—

An explosion rang out. The people who encountered the sudden attack turned their heads back, and Zhu Zhiquan controlled the Five-Star Sword to rush from a certain roof into each of the tricycles, which undoubtedly dealt a direct blow to everyone's morale.

"Retreat! Retreat!" the squad leader shouted, commanding the team to rush out of the encirclement.

But at this moment, the Hook-Lock Treant fired Vines, flipping all their tricycles over, causing everyone to have no choice but to flee from their vehicles.

Just as they were preparing to resist, Zhu Zhiquan activated Hell Lament to launch a soul attack on the members of the convoy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two Durian Warriors threw Ion Chimera Bombs to bombard them one moment, and fired Multi-functional Crossbow Bolts adjusted to explosion mode the next, blowing everyone into chaos.

Finally, Zhu Zhiquan activated the Energy-Storage Slash, killing the last three people. The entire process took no more than a minute, and a convoy of over a dozen people was completely wiped out.

"Ajiu, what happened? Why is it so noisy!" Zhao Yuxin rubbed her eyes; she had just come out of the carriage when she saw a large area of white light in front dissipate, leaving behind a large amount of supplies and blueprints.

Zhao Yuxin then used the white light to scan the surroundings and discovered Landmine Pinecones covering the road ahead, which made her unable to help but be somewhat shocked: "Ajiu, this... what is going on! You didn't provoke someone, did you!"

Zhu Zhiquan took the Hook-Lock Treant to quickly clear the battlefield, pulled her back into the carriage, and recounted the sequence of events.
