Chapter 29: Sandstorm Crisis (Part 1)

Zhu Zhiquan came to the carriage to check on Zhao Yuxin's condition; at this moment, Zhao Yuxin was still in a state of dizziness.

Zhu Zhiquan fumbled his way to her side to soothe her. Zhao Yuxin felt someone touching her and instinctively dodged, but upon seeing it was Zhu Zhiquan, she let down her guard.

"Don't be afraid, that scoundrel has already run away. Can you hear what I'm saying now?"

Zhao Yuxin watched Zhu Zhiquan's mouth open and close, but there was still a buzzing sound in her ears. "Ajiu, what did you just say? My tinnitus is so severe right now, I can't hear what you just said."

Zhu Zhiquan sent his previous words to her. Zhao Yuxin, her face streaked with tears, said, "Ajiu, do you think I will become a cripple? Will you abandon me because of this?"

Zhu Zhiquan did not know any comforting words, so he simply gave her a big hug. Zhao Yuxin was caught off guard by his embrace, but soon the two were hugging each other.

After a while, Zhu Zhiquan came out of the carriage. He had originally intended to perform a Soul Sacrifice, but discovered it had already dissipated, so he had no choice but to return to the driver's seat to pedal the Tricycle while carefully observing the road and the tracks on both sides.

He ultimately decided to proceed at full speed along the road. After opening several Material Boxes in a row, Zhu Zhiquan still had not seen the bastard who wanted to ambush him earlier.

Turn back to find him now? No, that would be a pure waste of time; it would be better to just keep driving forward.

"Ajiu~"

Creak~

Zhu Zhiquan quickly came to the carriage to look at Zhao Yuxin. Zhao Yuxin said excitedly, "Ajiu, I feel like my hearing has recovered now."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded slightly and turned back to the driver's seat to continue pedaling the Tricycle. Zhao Yuxin was stunned for a moment, then quickly felt relieved.

"Forget it, don't be angry over such a trivial matter. Explaining emotions to him is like playing the lute to a cow!" Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan was not at all considerate, Zhao Yuxin opened the World Channel to chat.

As soon as she opened the World Channel, the system sent out an announcement that shocked everyone.

"Dear players, hello. I have good news for you: in order to enrich the players' gaming experience, we have arranged a Sandstorm for everyone."

"This Sandstorm is not an ordinary Sandstorm; it is the Sandstorm from Wang Wei's poem. It is expected to arrive in ten minutes. Have a pleasant game."

Duyan Chuanzhang: "Damn it! You dog system, what do you mean by this!"

Loves Iron's Station Master: "Luckily I obtained a carriage canopy yesterday; I will hide in the canopy with my teammates when the time comes."

Yangguang Xujie: "Hee hee, me too. Not only do I have a canopy, I also have a car cover."

Loves Drinking Milk Tea's Little Princess: "But we don't have anything on our Tricycle, how are we supposed to hide!"

Xiagu Houwang: "Haha, I told you all not to keep moving forward, now look at you."

………………

A sense of crisis spread among the players, but fortunately, at this moment, Luo Jinrui sent his brother's Divination to the World Channel, which put everyone at ease.

After all, when everyone left the Oasis earlier, the Luo Family Brothers had performed a Divination for everyone to avoid the Hidden Boss, which had earned everyone's trust.

Therefore, many players, in order to better survive the Sandstorm, sent many supplies to the Luo Family Brothers one after another.

"Ajiu, be careful, there are two lions crouching by the Material Box ahead. Just shoot them with the crossbow, don't dawdle," Zhao Yuxin reminded him.

Zhu Zhiquan stopped the vehicle and observed his surroundings, discovering that the only place to hide was the grass next to the Material Box, so he fired a Crossbow Bolt at it.

"Awoo~"

A large amount of fresh blood flowed out of the grass, and a lion stumbled out from the grass.

Swish!

After killing the two lions and dismantling them, Zhu Zhiquan first performed a Soul Sacrifice on the two lions' souls, then rubbed his hands in front of the Material Box and opened it.

Name: Black Steel Spear Blueprint

Quality: Green

Introduction: A very tough long spear; it can also cause a dizzying effect when attacking an opponent.

Materials: 15 units of metal, 8 units of wood, 5 units of Level 2 Metal.

After learning the blueprint, Zhu Zhiquan once again pedaled the Tricycle onto the road. Ten minutes passed quickly, and the originally clear weather in the desert was soon obscured by yellow sand.

Zhu Zhiquan pedaled the Tricycle along the Desert Highway, the yellow sand mixed with flying stones pattering against the canopy.

"Ajiu, be careful! There's something nasty!" Zhao Yuxin suddenly shouted to Zhu Zhiquan.

Immediately after, a piercing sound came along with the wind. Although Zhu Zhiquan could not see what was rushing toward him in the Sandstorm, with Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear, he was confident he would not collide with these things.

Under Zhao Yuxin's direction, Zhu Zhiquan dodged one impact after another, and in the process of evading, Zhu Zhiquan vaguely saw a block on a handcart.

Zhu Zhiquan was so scared that cold sweat kept breaking out on his palms; if he wasn't mistaken, those handcarts were loaded with bombs!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous explosions came from behind them, and Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin felt very strange.

Zhao Yuxin listened carefully to the direction of the sound. "Strange? Why are so many puppets hitting these handcarts? Could it be him?"

Zhao Yuxin listened carefully again and didn't find anything wrong. "Forget it, he probably used some method to hide himself. I'll tell Ajiu first to avoid any trouble."

Zhao Yuxin told Zhu Zhiquan her deduction, and Zhu Zhiquan looked solemn without responding. Zhao Yuxin patted her chest confidently. "Don't worry, Ajiu, if there is real danger, I will definitely discover it in advance."

Zhu Zhiquan did not respond, only silently judging the direction of the danger based on the sound.

Gradually, the handcarts decreased until the piercing sound disappeared completely. Just as Zhu Zhiquan breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Yuxin shouted: "Ajiu, let me drive. The area ahead is mainly a trap zone."

But what they didn't know was that behind them, a V2 Tricycle covered in a layer of energy had come alongside them. Under the effect of the energy shield, the two of them did not discover this tricycle.

Inside the V2 Tricycle, Ma Chen lay next to a sacred sculpture and said to the person in the driver's seat: "Zheng Ge, don't be anxious. I know you want to avenge your shooting death, but let's get through the Sandstorm first."

Zheng Ge put down the bow in his hand and said: "But I just can't swallow this! That man shot me earlier, why can't I take revenge now that I've been resurrected!"

Ma Chen climbed up to help Zheng Ge fasten his mask. "Let's not be impulsive. Don't forget that we are all in the Sandstorm now, and besides, as long as we launch an attack, this statue will lose its effect."

"Alright then, let them spend some more time together." Zheng Ge stared viciously at Zhu Zhiquan.

At this time, Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle moved forward again, with Ma Chen and the others following behind. Watching Zhu Zhiquan and the others nimbly avoid every trap, Ma Chen was a little surprised.

"How are they so flexible in avoiding these traps? Even if they had asked a Diviner to perform a divination, it shouldn't be like their own backyard!"

"Perhaps they have a perception-type talent, which is why it's so easy for them. How about this, we'll find an opportunity to secretly add some 'ingredients' for them."

"Zheng Ge is brilliant!"
