Chapter 249: Dust Dissipates
After a joint decision by the two, the two v6 Exclusive Vehicle Components were placed together.
"Hmm, not bad. Next, we just need to find the Technology Exclusive Vehicle Component and the Magic Exclusive Vehicle Ornament," Zhao Yuxin said with a nod of satisfaction.
Zhu Zhiquan also listed some Plant Rings for sale, then told Zhao Yuxin the content of Gelina's report, while he himself went outside the vehicle to keep watch.
"So that's how it is." Zhao Yuxin stroked her chin and mused, "Looking at it this way, we have to notify the others on the World Channel."
So she opened the World Channel, preparing to tell everyone about this discovery. At this moment, some people on the World Channel had already seen the massive Dust behind them, and the boundless scale of it made everyone feel despair.
Jiangnan Scholar: "Damn! I want to know what that thing behind us that looks like fog is!"
Aspiring to Lie Flat Youth: "I don't know. With the blessing of my talent, I feel like it's a cloud of Dust."
Station Master Who Loves Lifting: "Dust? What kind of thing could stir up such a huge amount of Dust!?"
Yangguang Xujie: "Everyone, be careful not to enter the Dust, otherwise you will be eroded until only bones remain."
Caoxie Meimei: "@Yangguang Xujie, is what you said true?"
Yangguang Xujie: "It is true. The plants I sent to investigate earlier informed me of how lethal the Dust is.
Also, as far as I know, the reason the Plant Monsters have become so violent is because of the influence of this Dust, which triggered the beast tide."
Cat Messenger: "So, according to you, if we run too slowly, we will likely be swallowed by the Dust behind us, and then we will turn into a pile of skeletons, is that what you mean?"
Yangguang Xujie: "Yes, that's right."
Giving the World a Big Shock: "Oh~ my god! Why, when we all descended into this world, are we the only ones so unlucky!"
Duyan Chuanzhang: "To the one above, I can only say your fate is sealed, I can only say your luck isn't very good."
Caoxie Meimei: "@Brother's Little Driver, is your brother awake yet? I want to know when this disaster will end!? _?"
Bei Ye's Hardcore Fan: "That's right, everyone wants to know when this crisis will end. @Brother's Little Driver, how is your brother now? I am willing to trade!"
Brother's Little Driver: "Sorry everyone, although my brother has woken up, he will be unable to perform Divination for a period of time. Please forgive me."
Huahua: "Ah? Then what should we do! Without your brother's Divination ability, what should I do when I have difficulty choosing in the future!"
Adventure King: "Wait, who is his brother? Why are you all asking him for help?"
……………
Zhao Yuxin closed the panel, feeling a bit of a headache. "Luo Jincheng, this Prophet guy, has finally woken up. It's a pity he can't use his talent for a while. What a nuisance!"
At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan's voice came from outside the vehicle: "Lock-Hook Tree Demon, hurry and untie the Vines. Xuebao, you are responsible for driving. We have to go!"
Then Zhu Zhiquan entered the carriage and said: "Azhao, hurry and find a place to sit down. The Dust has caught up. At the speed of these big guys, I'm afraid we can't outrun it!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan entered the double room together, preparing to face the upcoming bumps.
As the Lock-Hook Tree Demon retracted all the Vines and placed the Tricycle back on the ground, it then followed the Vines back onto the Tricycle carriage.
Xuebao also drove the Tricycle at high speed through the herd. Even though the behemoths around it scared it into breaking out in a cold sweat, it still gripped the handles tightly, ensuring the Tricycle would not crash into any monsters.
Inside the carriage, after the Tricycle landed, Zhao Yuxin redeployed all the Combat Plants to shoot and kill any monsters that might hit the Tricycle from behind.
Players everywhere in the Magic Miasma Jungle who were caught in the beast tide were, without exception, driving their tricycles in a mad dash. Especially after seeing the Dust, the players' fear was further intensified, leading to faster and faster speeds and frequent traffic accidents.
Time passed bit by bit. With the movement of the beast tide, more and more players were forced to join this life-and-death chase, and an atmosphere of despair shrouded everyone's heads.
The endless running brought many players to the brink of mental collapse, and some players even had thoughts of suicide. If it weren't for the fact that most had teammates with them, who knows how many players would have become the dust of history by now.
"You're saying that inside that Dust, there is still a behemoth that wants to control you?" Zhao Yuxin was somewhat shocked after hearing Gelina's report.
"Y... yes," Gelina lowered her head and said, "That thing is... extremely huge. It can for... forcibly make the Dust en... enter my bo... body.
Th... then make... make me de... develop thoughts of ha... hatred toward humans. I... I don't know if... this will..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Zhao Yuxin really couldn't stand her stuttering. "Let's do this, you come with me. Ajiu, the safety of the Tricycle is left to you."
Zhu Zhiquan didn't say anything, just silently went to the roof of the vehicle and looked at the Dust behind.
Inside the Dust, Plant Monsters that had fallen into madness popped out from time to time, slaughtering those monsters that ran slowly. More importantly, the height of that Dust seemed to be shrinking.
Zhu Zhiquan stared intently at the Dust behind him. A Ghost-Horn Tree Demon happened to attack at this moment, and a large number of tree roots drilled out from the ground to strike at him.
Zhu Zhiquan didn't even look at it, backhanded the incoming tree roots into pieces, and threw the Five-Star Sword at it.
The Five-Star Sword bypassed seven or eight monsters in flight, directly severed the body of the Ghost-Horn Tree Demon, and then circled back to Zhu Zhiquan's hand.
The Dust behind was getting further and further away, and its speed and volume were also slowing down. Some players who noticed this also spoke up on the World Channel.
For a moment, the World Channel was full of activity again, and many people speculated that this chase would end soon.
The private messages of Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin were filled with messages from their friends, all containing words of early celebration or encouragement.
However, Zhu Zhiquan didn't pay attention to them, but looked at the ground. At this time, the ground had long since turned into intertwined tree roots, and the gaps between them were chaotic and irregular.
Just now, some inattentive monsters, not paying attention to the ground, accidentally got stuck in the gaps between the tree roots. There were also some monsters that fell down on the spot because they stepped on more brittle tree roots, and it was unknown if they could climb out again.
Zhu Zhiquan carefully examined the surroundings and finally shouted: "Xuebao, stop the car!"
"Wu~" Although Xuebao was very scared, it still chose to step on the brake. Zhao Yuxin, who was examining Gelina inside the carriage, also ignored this and had no objections to Zhu Zhiquan's decision.
Clatter, clatter~
The tires of the Tricycle made a dull sound on these tree roots, and finally, the Tricycle stopped quietly on the roots.
"Moo~"
A cow with a cross-shaped pattern rushed over, its tenacious vitality allowing it to withstand the attacks of the plants as it rammed into the Tricycle's carriage.
Just as its horns were about to hit, Zhu Zhiquan controlled the Five-Star Sword to carry the Tricycle and fly onto the head of a giant python.
Although the giant python hated having things land on it, it was currently in a state of fleeing for its life, and since Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle was too small for it, it was at most like an extra leaf on its head, so it didn't shake them off.
