Chapter 244: The Rampaging Beast Tide

"Hahaha~ It's so ticklish~" Zhao Yuxin was surrounded by many small deer nuzzling against her. The tips of the deer's noses moved back and forth on her body, and the ticklish sensation made her curl up and laugh out loud.

As for Zhu Zhiquan, he subconsciously jumped onto a tree branch whenever a deer approached, because he didn't really like being surrounded by a large group of animals; it made him feel insecure.

"Hmm~ You are all so cute~ Let me kiss one, okay?" Before she even finished speaking, Zhao Yuxin's face was already pressed against a deer, seemingly having completely forgotten the reason why she came here.

Watching Zhao Yuxin overdoing it, Zhu Zhiquan reminded her: "Azhao, are you still looking for that fire-extinguishing monster? If you aren't, we're hitting the road."

Zhao Yuxin rubbed a deer's face and replied nonchalantly: "Relax, I'll get that done. Also, if you don't want to get close to these deer, then call Xuebao and the others over; it's a good chance for everyone to get to know each other."

Before leaving, Zhu Zhiquan suddenly remembered something and asked: "A... Azhao, did you use that Talent Upgrade Card?"

Zhao Yuxin rolled her eyes at him, "Used it long ago. You really are something, taking this long just to think of asking this question!"

Zhu Zhiquan was too embarrassed to speak, one foot already turned toward the direction of the Tricycle.

Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan hadn't left yet, Zhao Yuxin mistakenly thought he wanted to ask which skill she had upgraded, so she blurted out: "This time I upgraded Basic Array Mastery. The upgrade effect is to improve my learning of basic arrays. Any other questions?"

Zhu Zhiquan lowered his head and touched his nose, then turned and headed toward the Tricycle. After returning to the Tricycle's carriage, he recounted what had happened earlier. Hearing that they could meet new friends, Xuebao rushed excitedly toward the deer herd.

Gelina, the Durian Warrior, and the Hook-Lock Tree Demon remained in the carriage, and except for Gelina who was socially anxious, the others didn't even know what a friend was; they were just like robots with slight intelligence.

Zhu Zhiquan scanned the area, and after confirming there was no danger, he returned to the location of the deer herd.

At this moment, Xuebao was playing with the small deer, while Zhao Yuxin reached her hand into a deer's mouth to extract syrup-like saliva from inside.

"Ajiu, hurry and help me bring the Portable Plant Research Table over. If it runs out of durability, help me bring the materials. I need to research their saliva now."

Confirming that Zhao Yuxin and the others were not in danger, Zhu Zhiquan could only obediently follow orders and carry the Portable Plant Research Table over. Afterward, Zhao Yuxin fell into a state of research, completely forgetting what she had originally come here for.

Zhu Zhiquan sighed helplessly and went straight back to the side of the Tricycle to prepare for a new round of training.

Time flowed like a rushing river. A faint sound reached the ears of the researching Zhao Yuxin, causing her to look sharply in the direction the sound came from.

But her view was blocked by the trees along the way, so she couldn't see what the source was.

Boom—

Boom—

A series of noisy sounds came, and the sound was constantly expanding, no... it should be constantly approaching!

As the sound became clearer in Zhao Yuxin's ears, the deer herd also raised their heads to look in the direction the sound came from.

"This is... footsteps? Oh no!" Zhao Yuxin guessed something and hurriedly packed her things, "Baobao, let's go quickly!"

Xuebao raised its head and looked at her with some confusion, but this was not the time for explanations. Zhao Yuxin pulled Xuebao and hurried back to the Tricycle's carriage.

Zhu Zhiquan, who was using a tree as a punching bag on the side, was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, but trusting Zhao Yuxin's superhuman hearing, he immediately ran to the driver's seat to flee the scene.

Zhao Yuxin also had the Thought-Energy Mushroom Grass assist Zhu Zhiquan in clearing the protruding tree roots along the way, allowing Zhu Zhiquan to drive the Tricycle more steadily as they escaped.

Boom—

Boom—

……………

The footsteps behind them grew louder, meaning the danger was also gradually closing in.

Soon, the source of the footsteps gradually revealed itself; it was a Shichao Baodong!

These panicked monsters kept running, and the scale was so large that even Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear could not distinguish it, which made Zhao Yuxin curious about what had happened in the distance.

"Gelina."

"Yes!"

"Go and check the reason for the monsters' riot. No problem, right?"

"No... no problem."

"Good." Zhao Yuxin patted her on the shoulder, "Be careful."

Gelina lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed, but still flapped her wings and flew against the direction the monsters were running.

"Silly child," Zhao Yuxin muttered, then shouted to Gelina: "Lina, fly out of the jungle first~ That way you might be able to see more clearly!!"

But Gelina's speed was too fast, and with many monsters already rushing behind the Tricycle, Gelina didn't hear what she said at all.

"Forget it, it's the same anyway." Watching Gelina disappear into the beast herd, Zhao Yuxin ordered: "Xuebao, take all the Durian Warriors and use the Xunfeng Crossbow to shoot and kill the approaching monsters in the carriage. Hook-Lock Tree Demon, you..."

At this time, Gelina was flying close to the beast herd. The surrounding trees retreated rapidly under her high-speed flight, and afterimages appeared from the flapping of her wings behind her, all just to see the cause of all this faster.

After flying for more than ten kilometers, Gelina saw a cloud of cyan-green Dust. She flew out of the jungle to look and discovered that this dust covered hundreds of miles, and the height reached more than ten meters.

Moreover, she always felt that something in this dust was calling to her, and the Magic Power in her body began to boil, making her feel that her strength had increased quite a bit.

"Something's wrong!" Feeling the abnormality, she slapped her cheeks hard, "Must go back immediately!"

Immediately, she returned the way she came. On the way, she also noticed that the Plant Monsters along the road seemed to have become exceptionally irritable; as long as it wasn't a member of the plants, they would kill without mercy.

The sound of countless monsters wailing made Gelina feel panicked and uneasy, and her speed became even faster.

On the World Channel, players who encountered the Shichao Baodong were discussing it non-stop.

Huahua: "Shichao Baodong? My god! What on earth happened!"

Jiangnan's Number One Handsome Guy: "Don't know, anyway I had just started preparing lunch, and then I encountered a Shichao Baodong. It scared me so much I didn't even want my pot!"

Wind and Rain Proof Fisherman: "That's right, and more importantly, after the Shichao Baodong, for some reason, those Plant Monsters that were originally cowardly as hell suddenly became brave. They ignored the risk of being trampled to death by the beast herd and launched attacks on us!"

Cub Longing for Home: "Everyone, I might be dying. Our Tricycle was overturned by a Ghost-Horn Tree Demon. Now we can only climb a tree to survive, and there are many Plant Monsters under the tree staring at us... I..."

Cub Longing for Reunion: "Huaqiang! No! You have to hold on! I'm coming to save you!"

Cub Longing for Home: "Forget it, Xiaojiang, remember to take good care of my sister."

Cub Longing for Reunion: "What are you saying! Hold on! I'm having my teammate turn around to find you now!"
