Chapter 273

"Ajiu, are you alright?" Zhao Yuxin helped Zhu Zhiquan sit in a chair, while Gelina kept healing his wounds, and the self-healing effect of the healing sunflower continued without pause.

Zhu Zhiquan waved his hand, "Don't worry, Azhao, I'm fine." Saying that, he looked toward Zhang Moxin.

At this moment, Zhang Moxin was using her speed advantage to maneuver around four resentful-armor waterweeds, making them spin in circles, but unfortunately this girl had little damage, and all her attacks struck the opponent without effect.

Zhu Zhiquan wanted to stand up, but carelessly pulled at his wound, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.

Zhao Yuxin immediately wiped the sweat and blood from him, her eyes full of concern.

At this time, Zhang Moxin, to stall the four resentful-armor waterweeds, lured them into the dream realm, then, with the advantage of fighting on home turf and the speed from her winged flight, the four resentful-armor waterweeds could not hit her at all.

The resentful-armor waterweeds were also furious; initially they wanted to attack Zhang Moxin, but her speed was too fast, and no matter how they struck, they could not hit her, so they unanimously decided to first chase others.

Seeing them ignore her, Zhang Moxin increased her attack intensity, but her weapons broke and still could not pierce their defense. To buy enough time for everyone, she used Illusion Dream Arrival on the four resentful-armor waterweeds.

Although with the boost from the dream realm, Zhang Moxin still could not inflict any damage on them, but stalling them for a few minutes was still easy.

And the four resentful-armor waterweeds had no way to deal with this dream realm; they could only be toyed with by her like this.

Zhang Moxin teased the monster while sending a private message to her sister. When she estimated that everyone's vehicles had driven far away, she dispelled Illusion Dream Arrival and, based on her sister's shared vision, vanished instantly before the monster's eyes.

Seeing the human who had teased them just run off, the four resentful-armor waterweeds could only roar helplessly.

More than ten seconds later, Zhao Yuxin received a private message from Huang Jing, and immediately said to Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, Huang Jing notified us to meet at the place one hour from now; this happens to give us a chance to be alone, you see………"

Saying this, Zhao Yuxin tugged at her collar and deliberately unfastened the button above, her head unconsciously lowering, like a girl experiencing her first stirrings of love.

Zhu Zhiquan looked at her, thought for a moment, then pointed upward with one hand and shouted: "Oh~ I get it!"

Hearing Zhu Zhiquan's words, Zhao Yuxin implicitly said: "Then we……"

"We should take this opportunity to gather more supply boxes, and incidentally find some monsters to fight, to improve our strength, then everyone returns together to slaughter all the resentful-armor waterweeds!"

"Hah?"

"Pfft~"

Gelina heard Zhu Zhiquan's answer and Zhao Yuxin's reaction, nearly laughing out loud, covering her mouth with both hands to try not to laugh.

Zhao Yuxin stared wide-eyed at Zhu Zhiquan, her mouth open enough to fit a lightbulb, but she still refused to give up, so she cautiously asked: "That……you……are you sure?"

"Mm!"

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan's confident gaze, Zhao Yuxin for a moment didn't know what to say, so she continued hinting.

But no matter how Zhu Zhiquan was guided, he just wouldn't think in the direction she hoped, and finally Zhao Yuxin couldn't hold back, kicked him, and stormed back to the room angrily.

Bang!

Such a loud door slam startled Zhu Zhiquan into staying where he was, unable to understand why Zhao Yuxin was angry—had he said something wrong?

"Hahaha~" Gelina beside him finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, making Zhu Zhiquan, who was feeling gloomy inside, involuntarily frown.

So Zhu Zhiquan glared at her fiercely, frightening Gelina so her smile froze in place, her body also trembling uncontrollably.

Zhu Zhiquan's eyes were fierce, he slowly turned around, extended one hand and said: "Gelina, we happen to have nothing to do, how about we practice hand-to-hand together?"

Gelina looked at Zhu Zhiquan's blood-covered face and fierce expression, so frightened that the flowerpot beneath her trembled nonstop, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

"How……no……willing……!"

At this moment, a cold, sinister, terrifying aura permeated the air, even the snow treasure driving the car felt it, shuddering violently.

"Zhu Zhiquan, if you dare bully Gelina, I'll really get angry!"

Zhao Yuxin's voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the great fire in Zhu Zhiquan's heart, so he could only sulk as he climbed onto the car roof to sit.

One hour later, everyone returned to the magic array gathering point. Chen Ligang confirmed everyone was present and said: "Alright, we've already gone left, but found nothing. Next we'll try going straight ahead, see what we encounter."

"I have no objection."

"I have no objection."

"Me neither."

…………

Seeing everyone had no opinion, Chen Ligang turned to Zhao Yuxin and asked: "Miss Zhao, did those four monsters catch up?"

Zhao Yuxin let out a howl, then carefully listened to the surrounding sound waves: "Those four monsters are not nearby now, which means we are currently safe."

Chen Ligang nodded in thanks, then flipped and jumped into the tricycle's cargo compartment, ordering: "Depart!"

Immediately, the four vehicles set off, soon arriving at the gate of a laboratory, inside everywhere green slime and scattered lab equipment and data.

Almost everyone felt this place had nothing worth exploring, only Zhao Yuxin entered enthusiastically, also releasing the hooking tree spirit to help with transport.

Others stood guard at the door; once they spotted a monster approaching, they would first have to get past them. Of course, the resentful-armor waterweeds were excluded, after all, no one can beat this thing.

While Zhao Yuxin was collecting lab equipment and research materials, a researcher's record caught her attention.

"November 8, today multiple swamps have already been occupied by plant monsters, including my hometown, according to photos sent from home, I don't know what to say."

Zhao Yuxin glanced at the photo below, finding these trees somewhat familiar, especially the roots intertwined with each other, making her gaze involuntarily focus.

"Futai Era Year 302, November 50, end of the month, now that so-called Great Mage has created some monsters again, really annoying!"

……………

"March 14, warriors captured a monster called ghost-horn tree spirit, don't know what's special about it."

(Illustration)

"Ghost-horn tree spirit?" Zhao Yuxin saw this and couldn't help but wonder: "Looks like this dungeon might have information about the world boss; if so……we absolutely cannot ignore any detail here!"

Zhao Yuxin continued flipping through the records, discovering many were about the Magic Miasma Jungle world, and all the records pointed to Jiemodala, that so-called Great Mage.
