Chapter 263: Nighttime Ambush Battle (Part 1)
"Miss Zhao, you aren't joking, are you? Your plants can help stand guard?" Zhang Mofeng pointed out everyone's doubts.
Without waiting for Zhao Yuxin to explain, Li Yue said, "Everyone can rest easy on this point. The plants Zhao Yuxin sold in the previous two worlds were all the 'hacked' kind, so we don't need to worry about this problem at all."
Huang Jing also chimed in, "Yes, as long as her plants are here, after clearing the nearby monsters, everyone can rest in peace."
Everyone nodded in unison after hearing this, and at this moment, Zhang Mofeng asked Zhu Zhiquan, "You, can you guarantee that what your teammate said is true?"
Zhu Zhiquan, standing behind Zhao Yuxin, was taken aback and looked around, then Zhang Mofeng sternly singled him out: "Stop looking around, it's you! Can you vouch for your woman?"
Zhu Zhiquan nodded, but Zhang Mofeng remained relentless and said, "What's with the nodding? Are you unable to speak?"
Zhang Mofeng's voice was very soft and did not disturb the sleeping Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons, but it was incredibly loud, echoing in everyone's hearts.
Zhu Zhiquan still did not speak, and Zhao Yuxin also frowned, blocking in front of Zhu Zhiquan to question him: "What is your problem? What has my Ajiu done to you? Don't forget that your sister was saved by the creature I created!"
"Sister... everyone is watching!" Zhang Moxin tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear.
Zhang Mofeng sighed and said, "It seems you are someone who can't even stand up for your own woman; what a pity~"
After hearing Zhang Mofeng's words, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Zhiquan's mouth, but he still did not speak, just staring at her the whole time, as if a cold killing intent was radiating from him.
Others also hurriedly mediated; fortunately, it was only a verbal conflict between them, and neither side made a move on the other.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Chen Ligang immediately issued an order: "Everyone, clear out the nearby monsters for me! Otherwise, no one is allowed to sleep today!"
Liu Yuchang also echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, let's clear out these Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons together, and then go to other nearby buildings to clear out monsters."
Just as everyone was preparing to act, Zhao Yuxin directly opened the Plant Transport Bag, released a whole row of Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters, and simultaneously activated Plant Command.
At that moment, she manipulated the vines clinging to the walls and the trees outside to bring in the Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons from other places.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters turned into machine gunners, spitting out shots one after another from their mouths, shooting the first row of Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons into hedgehogs, yet failing to kill them, instead causing them to show signs of waking up.
Zhao Yuxin released the Xunfeng Pea Shooters and simultaneously released Plant Joyous Song; the firing rate of the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters was increased slightly, and the arrows shot out pierced deeply into the bodies of the Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons, killing them completely.
The Xunfeng Pea Shooters also began to fire; although their attack speed was clearly inferior to the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters, every Arrow could penetrate one or two Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons.
But the vitality of the Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons was very strong; even after being penetrated, they could wake up after being attacked, though their intelligence seemed lacking, as they hadn't even realized they had been hit.
Others also became vigilant, and a few individuals cast suspicious glances at Zhao Yuxin.
"Hit the head, that's where the main central nervous system is." Zhao Yuxin revealed the weakness of the Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons just as they were about to come to their senses.
Immediately, the plants aimed at the heads of the Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons, and the Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons fell in rows, with very few able to wake up again.
Afterward, a new batch of Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons was sent in by the plants outside, waiting to be killed like death-row inmates.
When the first Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter began to wither, Zhao Yuxin immediately swapped in a new batch of Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters or other Combat Plants with low noise, such as Xunfeng Pea Shooters or Mind-Energy Mushroom Grass.
Such efficiency stunned everyone; one by one, they stared wide-eyed and unblinkingly at the Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons being transported to the "execution ground," even though these Blood Grievance Mushroom Demons were still in a state of sleep.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhao Yuxin proudly held her nose in the air, revealing an expression that said, "Hurry up and praise me."
Zhu Zhiquan gave her a thumbs-up from the side, his eyes full of Zhao Yuxin's proud appearance.
Others also gave Zhao Yuxin a thumbs-up one after another, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that many of Zhao Yuxin's plants could only "scrape" (deal minimal damage).
Zhao Yuxin could naturally see this and decided to properly upgrade these plants tonight.
After Zhao Yuxin's plants finished clearing the monsters, everyone began to clean the monsters' bodies, obtaining a large batch of harvests such as Magic Cores, meat chunks, and spores.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Zhu Zhiquan and Zhang Moxin patrolled the vicinity together; whenever a Blood Grievance Mushroom Demon was found within two kilometers, they immediately set it on fire to burn it.
At night, everyone gathered around the campfire, opened all the Material Boxes found today, and talked about their respective harvests.
Only Zhao Yuxin was alone in the carriage doing research, and Zhu Zhiquan was taking Gelina to improve her combat skills.
Above, an Urban Flower Demon, under the cover of night, saw the firelight and immediately lowered its altitude to watch the people chatting around the fire.
"Hmm?" Chen Ligang always felt something was staring at them from the sky; he immediately looked up at the sky and locked eyes with the Urban Flower Demon... no, it should be the Blood Chain Flower Empress.
The Blood Chain Flower Empress, hiding somewhere, used the Urban Flower Demon's vision and glared back just as fiercely.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?" Zhang Moxin's words attracted the attention of others, and they looked over in the direction of Chen Ligang's gaze.
"Urban Flower Demon? It seems their Empress is nearby." Zhang Mofeng drew his whip, his eyes filled with the image of his sister almost dying in front of him.
Zhu Zhiquan and Gelina also looked up at the Urban Flower Demon; the Blood Chain Flower Empress hiding somewhere immediately felt a gloomy, cold aura and was so scared that she immediately stopped reading the vision of this Urban Flower Demon.
"Damn flower demon!" Zhang Moxin conjured a magic wand in her palm and aimed it at the Urban Flower Demon, "Watch how I knock you down!"
Boom!
A pale blue beam of light shot out, piercing the head of the Urban Flower Demon; that wasn't all, Zhang Moxin fired several more attacks, beating the Urban Flower Demon in the air until not even dregs were left.
Chen Ligang crossed his arms and suggested with a serious face: "Everyone, prepare to relocate; this so-called Empress is actually a 'sneaky camper' (laoliu). If I'm not mistaken, this 'sneaky camper' will definitely make a move tonight!"
Zhang Moxin said with a reluctant face: "But are we just going to give up this temporary camp? We worked so hard to clear this place out, just like this..." As she spoke, Zhang Moxin lowered her head silently.
Chen Ligang sighed and said: "I know, but our goal is not to clear all the monsters, but to complete the Dungeon mission!
If everyone is exhausted because of the previous night, let alone whether we can complete the mission, what if there are powerful monsters near the lake? If we are in poor condition then, how many more people will die!?"
The scene fell into a deathly silence, and Chen Ligang continued: "So we must withdraw now, lest that 'sneaky camper' comes up with some way to deal with us!"
After hearing Chen Ligang's words, Huang Jing and Li Yue were the first to return to their Tricycle, and the others returned to their Tricycles one after another, leaving only the two sisters and Chen Ligang.
Zhang Mofeng patted Zhang Moxin's head, nodded to Chen Ligang, and then said to his sister: "Let's go, sister."
Zhang Moxin stomped her feet helplessly and returned to the carriage angrily. After everyone had returned to their vehicles, Chen Ligang then entered his own Tricycle carriage.
