Chapter 287: The Dead End of Wang Ce (Part 1)
At noon, Zhu Zhiquan and his group sat around a table eating.
However, around the giant lizard they were riding, a group of Nine Platforms Immortal Group members were riding smaller, faster monsters, aiming their weapons at the giant lizard's limbs.
Boom! Boom...
The successive sounds of cannon fire caused Zhu Zhiquan and his group to stand up one after another; before they could even react, the giant lizard beneath their feet collapsed to the ground.
Zhu Zhiquan immediately pulled out the Jingtian Pozhen Gun and headed to the edge of the giant lizard first to assess the situation, while Zhao Yuxin released a large number of plants on the spot to stand guard.
But at this moment, black smoke appeared out of nowhere in the rear, covering an area of at least two to three kilometers, and it was still constantly expanding.
At the same time, with the perception of Bat Wing Ear, Zhao Yuxin discovered that a large number of monsters entering the smoke in the rear had collapsed with a crash.
At this moment, she widened her eyes, and just as she was about to give a warning, black mist appeared in front of and on both sides of the giant lizard, surrounding them completely.
Zhao Yuxin immediately realized what was happening and said her judgment to Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, we've been set up."
"What!"
When Liu Feng and Zhang Yu heard Zhao Yuxin's words, they were the first to grab her thighs and weep bitterly.
"Zhao Yuxin, what should we do now? I don't want to die here! I still have so much youth left~"
"That's right~ Regiment Leader Zhao, save us both. My darling and I don't want to die yet~ Wuwu~"
"Ugh~" Xuebao pushed them away in disgust, thinking to itself, how are these two people even more cowardly than me?
Gelina: "C-can... can we fly into the sky...?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Zhu Zhiquan entered the carriage to plant the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine, brought the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine outside the vehicle, and ordered it to dig downward.
Zhao Yuxin also took Gelina and Xuebao back into the carriage, taking charge of driving the Tricycle into the hole dug by the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine.
Zhu Zhiquan gave the couple a look of disgust before jumping into the hole dug by the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine.
Liu Feng and Zhang Yu were stunned for a moment; seeing that they had all entered this cave, they also entered the Tricycle and followed behind.
The two vehicles traveled through the tunnel dug by the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine; at first, it was painless and itchy for the giant lizard, but as the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine dug deeper and touched its nerves, the giant lizard immediately wailed in pain on the spot.
They stopped only when they reached the internal organs, but that was just Zhu Zhiquan and his group discussing whether or not to change to a different spot to dig.
Such tenacious vitality made the Nine Platforms Immortal Group feel it was incredible, and they each expressed their opinions on the Player Group Channel from the backs of their own giant monsters.
Soon the giant lizard stopped wailing; it must have inhaled too much toxic gas.
Just when everyone thought that Zhu Zhiquan and his group were surely dead, Zhu Zhiquan and his group had already begun to dig through the ground covered by tree roots.
And as the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine dug, black gas began to emanate from the soil, and the deeper they dug, the more black smoke there was, and the speed of excavation was also slowly decreasing.
Zhao Yuxin squinted her eyes, because she felt that this black smoke seemed to be the same as the black smoke that surrounded them.
"Everyone cover your nose and mouth! This black gas is likely poisonous!" After Zhao Yuxin finished speaking, she covered her nose and mouth and drove the Tricycle to follow the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine.
Zhu Zhiquan found some Buli in the carriage, dampened it, and after dividing it, handed half to Zhao Yuxin, while Xuebao and Gelina entered the Plantation and closed the door tightly.
The Green Leaf Burrowing Vine had dug for less than ten minutes before it turned completely black and died. However, the good news was that before it died, it successfully brought Zhu Zhiquan and his group to a location without toxic gas.
Watching the beast tide fleeing in the distance, Zhao Yuxin increased the horsepower and sprinted forward.
"Regiment Leader Zhao, wait for us!" Zhang Yu slammed on the accelerator and followed closely behind them.
Gradually, the two vehicles caught up to the herd of beasts in front, and Zhu Zhiquan jumped onto the body of a giant monster in anger, searching for the people who had just backstabbed them.
But looking at it, he didn't find even a single person on those large monsters.
However, this small movement could not be hidden from Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear; she closed her eyes to feel the sound vibrations in the air and soon found a place with the sound of many engines.
She immediately shouted to Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu~ those people are hiding in the beast herd, do you want me to help you find them?"
"No need!" Among the many monsters, Zhu Zhiquan discovered a Tricycle driving through the herd, so he vaulted over the bodies of countless monsters and unleashed Phoenix Cloud Fire at this vehicle.
Instantly, four fire phoenixes slammed into the vehicle, destroying it on the spot. The remaining Nine Platforms Immortal Group members were terrified, and they sought the opinions of their Regiment Leader and various Captains on their Player Group Channel.
But Zhu Zhiquan's revenge continued; every attack was guaranteed to take out two members, scaring most of them into scattering and fleeing into the distance before they could wait for orders from their Regiment Leader or their own Captain.
Although this escape successfully reduced the possibility of being discovered by Zhu Zhiquan, it increased the chances of traffic accidents; many people failed to dodge in time and were hit and killed by monsters, leading to a significant increase in the number of casualties.
Wang Ce looked at the rapidly decreasing number of people on the Player Group Channel and the messages about these people deserting, and couldn't help but curse: "You damn idiots! If you all run away, who will act as bait to attract Zhu Zhiquan's pursuit for me!"
After taking a puff of his cigarette, Wang Ce said to his driver: "Why aren't you driving faster! What? Do you want to be killed by the monsters behind us!"
"B-but, if we drive too fast, it's very easy to hit a monster or..."
Slap!
Before the driver could finish, Wang Ce disregarded the risk and killed him, then transformed into a bat-man, flew to the driver's seat, discarded the corpse, and drove the Tricycle to quickly cut across the beast tide.
But the sound of this gunshot was too loud; even without Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear, Zhu Zhiquan heard it clearly.
So Zhu Zhiquan sprinted toward the source of the sound, occasionally using the bodies of passing monsters to leap, ensuring his own safety while maintaining a certain speed of travel.
The distance to Wang Ce was getting closer and closer. At the same time, it made Wang Ce feel an aura from hell approaching; he understood that Zhu Zhiquan had already discovered him.
So he stepped heavily on the accelerator, turning the handle in his hand from time to time to control the Tricycle as it traveled through the beast tide.
And in order to escape Zhu Zhiquan's pursuit, he kept throwing out Yellow Talismans; these Yellow Talismans exploded in mid-air, releasing large amounts of black smoke.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan did not dare to be careless; he immediately climbed onto a towering tree and used the gaps between the trees to leap quickly, his eyes fixed tightly on the monsters below.
Wang Ce discovered Zhu Zhiquan through the rearview mirror, which made the hand gripping the handle sweat, with the sweat even dripping down the handle onto his pant leg.
Wang Ce understood that it was only a matter of time before Zhu Zhiquan found him, and when that time came, he would not escape death.
So he took out a potion from his pocket, his body trembling violently. Because the potion in his hand could directly increase his strength in a short period of time, but the side effects were too great; if things went wrong, he might be left with a permanent ailment or even lose his life.
"Damn it! All or nothing!" Wang Ce gritted his teeth and slammed the needle into his thigh.
