Chapter 229: The Thick Fog That Pursues

Zhu Zhiquan listed a large batch of outdoor restrooms at nearly cost price, immediately posting on the World Channel: "Outdoor restrooms are now available; they can prevent being ambushed by beasts, bitten by insects, or affected by harsh weather while answering the call of nature."

Huahua: "What's the use of this thing? We all just find a spot in the wild to squat anyway."

Desert Tycoon: "The person above is so stupid, how have they even survived until now?"

Huahua: "@Desert Tycoon, f***&*#$..."

Desert Tycoon: "@Taiquan Xiaozhu, we need four outdoor restrooms here, don't pay any attention to the person above."

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Hurry and give me one, we are in urgent need of one here too."

River Scholar: "@Duyan Chuanzhang, why are you only buying one? Are you afraid you won't have room for it?"

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Damn it, the supplies we got yesterday filled the carriage to the brim; I don't even know if we can fit this thing now."

Princess Who Loves Milk Tea: "Hahaha~"

Caoxie Meimei: "Hahaha~"

………………

As transactions increased, the space inside the carriage was gradually filled with supplies, even affecting Zhao Yuxin's research, which forced her to tell Zhu Zhiquan to stop selling.

Zhu Zhiquan quickly took down the remaining goods and once again fell into a state of having nothing to do.

Having nothing to do, Zhu Zhiquan soon set his sights on the Ghost Horn Tree Demons nearby; the Ghost Horn Tree Demons felt Zhu Zhiquan's gaze and scattered away from him one after another.

Three minutes later, two Ghost Horn Tree Demons were tied together by Zhu Zhiquan to serve as a Barbell, and he even spun them around from time to time like he was wielding a spear.

This made the two tied-up Ghost Horn Tree Demons feel incredibly aggrieved, but since they couldn't beat the two-legged beast below, they could only obediently let him handle them as he pleased.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhiquan saw a dark green mist in the distance moving toward them. He also noticed that the small animals nearby ran for their lives as soon as they saw the thick fog approaching; this abnormal phenomenon was unsettling.

Zhu Zhiquan immediately dropped the "Barbell" in his hands, entered the carriage to warn Zhao Yuxin that a thick fog was approaching, told her his thoughts, and then headed to the driver's seat to prepare to drive without looking back.

"Got it." Zhao Yuxin continued her research without looking back, while Xuebao, who had been slacking off on the side, saw that they were about to drive and proactively leaned in front of Zhu Zhiquan.

"Fine, you guy, is it really that tiring to be my assistant! Forget it, you go drive; at worst, I'll just continue my research later." Zhao Yuxin helplessly began to pack up her things.

After being told off by Zhao Yuxin, Xuebao immediately put on an obedient face and leaned against Zhao Yuxin to act spoiled.

Zhu Zhiquan couldn't be bothered with their affairs and proactively went to the driver's seat to restart the engine.

Rumble~

The Tricycle let out a roar, weaving through the uneven jungle.

Along the way, the Tricycle ran over protruding tree roots, bumping Zhao Yuxin so much that she complained: "This is f***ing too bumpy. Luckily I wasn't doing research in the car this time, otherwise I wouldn't know how to clean up."

The thick fog behind them was still following closely; some of the slower animals were caught by the fog first, then let out shrill screams.

More importantly, the speed of this thick fog seemed to be increasing, gradually closing in on their Tricycle. But hindered by the tree roots on the road, their speed simply couldn't get any faster.

Coupled with the interference from Plant Monsters led by the Ghost Horn Tree Demons along the way, Zhu Zhiquan didn't dare to drive too fast at all, lest they flip the car if something went wrong.

"Azhao, release a Thought-Energy Mushroom Grass to specifically clear the tree roots on the road!"

"Okay!" Zhao Yuxin immediately followed suit, releasing a Thought-Energy Mushroom Grass and issuing the command.

The Thought-Energy Mushroom Grass received the command and immediately began controlling the Grass Sword, cutting off all the tree roots left on the ground along the way. Most of the roots were easily severed, with only a small portion of Ghost Horn Tree Demon traps requiring a few more strikes.

With the assistance of the Thought-Energy Mushroom Grass, Zhu Zhiquan also increased his speed slightly, keeping pace with the spreading speed of the fog behind them.

Zhao Yuxin listened carefully to the faint sounds around them, suddenly opened her eyes, and said: "Ajiu, this thick fog seems to be following us!"

"Following us?"

"Yes, I discovered that the range of this fog hasn't been very large, but its speed is so fast; I suspect..."

"You mean there is a monster chasing us!"

"Yes, but I haven't been able to find out exactly what kind of monster it is."

"No matter, that monster definitely cannot maintain this state for long. When its Magic Power is about tapped out, we'll go back and give it a beating!"

"Okay!!!"

After that, the two stopped communicating and kept their distance from the fog behind them; they didn't know how long they had been driving when the fog began to retreat.

But how could Zhu Zhiquan, who had been chased the whole way, swallow this anger? He immediately drove the Tricycle to turn around and pursue, but the surrounding Plant Monsters acted as if they had gone crazy, constantly obstructing their pursuit, with the commotion even greater than when the fog was chasing them.

"Ajiu, forget it. Looking at how hard these plants are trying, I'm afraid there's no benefit for us if we keep chasing. Let's just let that fog monster go for now." Zhao Yuxin suggested at this moment.

Zhu Zhiquan thought for a moment, stopped the car, and watched quietly as the fog moved away into the depths. "True, it wouldn't be good if we fell into an ambush." As he said this, he lay back on the seat to relax, but in his heart, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. To shift his focus, he opened the World Channel.

Zhao Yuxin also checked the World Channel to see if there were any gains on it.

Believer in Force: "Damn it, what is up with this fog! It almost swallowed our car; it scared the hell out of me!"

King of Odpiao: "To be honest, although the road here is very hard to drive on, it's nowhere near as dangerous as hauling cargo in my hometown! It wants to catch up to me? In its dreams!"

Huahua: "What did you all encounter? Why don't I understand what you're talking about?"

Yangguang Xujie: "We should have all encountered a thick fog capable of devouring life, and this fog might even be an illusion created by some monster. As for why it's chasing us, it's not very clear yet; it just needs further research."

Sleeping in Class: "Then why didn't we encounter the fog? Could it be that this thing is out foraging?"

Duyan Chuanzhang: "That's not right. When the fog was chasing us, it specifically followed behind us, and the nearby Plant Monsters would help block us. If it weren't for my teammate's solid skills, we probably would have flipped the car long ago!"

Yangguang Xujie: "Not only that, when the fog retreated, my teammate drove to pursue it, but those plants blocked us as if they were crazy. If we weren't worried about something going wrong, we would have caught up already."

Fan of Bear Grylls: "This is simple, everyone just needs to say what they were doing before being chased by the fog."

Yangguang Xujie: "Before being chased by the fog, I asked my teammate to help me catch a Plant Monster for research, and then we encountered the fog pursuit."

King of Odpiao: "We, on the other hand, have been hunting these Plant Monsters."

Believer in Force: "We were constantly hunting these Plant Monsters in order to stockpile more food."

…………………

More and more players spoke on the World Channel, and soon the reason everyone was being chased by the fog was guessed.
