Chapter 294: The Howling Regiment's Pursuit (Part 1)

After the beast tide dissipated, Zhu Zhiquan and his group were the first to descend to the ground and drive toward the distance.

At this time, after Zhao Yuxin sent the first batch of paper currency to Xintamu Haken in the carriage, she went to the Plantation to record the growth of the plants.

Zhu Zhiquan was responsible for driving behind the young couple's Tricycle; along the way, the group kept encountering other players, and from time to time, they could see players fighting each other over a Blue Material Box.

There wasn't even a single monster to be seen nearby, likely scared off by the nearby players.

However, several Tricycles were following behind Zhu Zhiquan's group, constantly leaving marks along the way. This was quickly discovered by Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear, and she immediately told Zhu Zhiquan about it.

Zhu Zhiquan narrowed his eyes, and a murderous aura erupted from his body. "Following us? Not bad. In that case, let's find a suitable location first before we round up these rats."

"Alright, then I'll notify Zhang Yu and the others." After saying this, Zhao Yuxin sent a message to Zhang Yu about them being followed.

The next second, Zhang Yu's message was sent over: "What should we do then!? How many people are on the other side? Will they be very strong? Liu Feng and I still have plenty of youth ahead of us; it wouldn't be worth it if we just died like this!"

Watching Zhang Yu act so cowardly, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, secretly complaining to herself: "Damn it, it's a good thing I didn't agree to let them join my Player Group, otherwise how embarrassing would it be if word got out?"

Though she thought that, Zhao Yuxin still comforted him and promised that the players pursuing them wouldn't require them to take action.

Zhang Yu: "Really? That's great. You guys remember to be careful, don't get counter-killed by them, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find such a good thigh to hug!"

Zhao Yuxin: "(′? _? `)"

Closing the panel, Zhao Yuxin came to the rear window and said to Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, I've already told Zhang Yu, but don't expect them to be of any help."

Zhu Zhiquan waved his hand at this. "It doesn't matter, that's their problem. In any case, we should still find a suitable location to counterattack."

"Alright."

Zhu Zhiquan stepped on the accelerator to overtake the young couple's vehicle, quickly putting some distance between them and Liu Feng's vehicle. Seeing this, Liu Feng hurriedly accelerated to catch up, following closely behind Zhu Zhiquan and the others.

The members of the Howling Regiment following behind saw the target accelerate and also hurriedly sped up to keep pace, while simultaneously sending a message to their Regiment Leader.

Two kilometers away, Li Jiang looked at the message sent by the player responsible for tracking, took a light drag of his cigarette, and ordered: "Everyone, accelerate and move forward."

Afterward, the entire Player Group set off in the direction of Zhu Zhiquan and his party, dozens of Tricycles moving together like an army pressing toward the border.

Such a massive momentum was quickly captured by Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear, and she immediately told this information to Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan's face revealed no expression; instead, he observed his surroundings at all times. Only when there were not many players around did he instruct: "Azhao, tell Gelina to lie in ambush in the trees and clear out the players following behind first."

"Alright." Zhao Yuxin immediately ran to the Plantation to relay Zhu Zhiquan's words to Gelina. The latter flew out of the carriage without a word; because she still maintained the appearance of a small sprite, none of the following players noticed her.

Thus, when the first vehicle passed the location where Gelina was lying in ambush, it was entangled on the spot by a large amount of Thorn. Seeing this, the other players immediately entered a state of alert to prevent attacks from other monsters.

At this moment, Gelina activated Flower Knot Maze City toward a Tricycle. A giant flower bud gradually took shape, then quickly turned into a solid, trapping the Tricycle inside.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know."

The two trapped players hadn't figured out the situation when the stamen inside began to spray a large amount of pollen. This pollen entered their bodies along with their breathing, and what followed were symptoms like coughing and weakness.

"Not good! This pollen is... poisonous..." one player said before collapsing in the carriage.

His companion, relying on his higher constitution, was able to hold on for the time being. So, this player operated the weapon on the vehicle, preparing to blast a large hole in the flower bud.

Boom!

The huge explosion caused the entire giant flower bud to deform briefly. Just as he wanted to fire a second shot, his body could no longer hold out, and he immediately went dark and collapsed.

The other players were still thinking about where the danger was coming from when the members of the Howling Regiment responsible for tracking Zhu Zhiquan's group narrowed their eyes.

Because both times they were hit, it was their own people, which made them suspect that they had been discovered.

When Gelina launched her third attack, the Howling Regiment members finally confirmed that they were being attacked. They reported the situation to the Regiment Leader, and the remaining people entered combat mode to find out who the attacker was.

After being attacked by Gelina, the Howling Regiment lost track of Zhu Zhiquan and the others.

Consequently, Zhu Zhiquan and Liu Feng took the opportunity to drive their vehicles behind ferns taller than a house and hid the vehicles thoroughly.

Zhao Yuxin also brought a large number of Durian Warriors and Lock-Hook Tree Demons out of the carriage, her extremely arrogant stride giving off the vibe of a gang leader.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin glanced at Liu Feng and Zhang Yu's Tricycle. Seeing them both walk off the vehicle, looking fully armed, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Eh? Didn't you two say you weren't planning on coming out to help? Why are you both fully armed?"

"What kind of talk is that! Is that how you look at your friends?"

"Are we the kind of people who would abandon friends just to save our own lives?"

The two spoke one after another, taking turns posing in various chuunibyou stances.

Zhao Yuxin didn't believe their nonsense either, and she took her thugs to support Gelina.

At the same time, Zhu Zhiquan had already taken the Jingtian Pozhen Gun and was running rapidly toward the Howling Regiment members, his momentum as terrifying as a missile.

The remaining Howling Regiment members saw Zhu Zhiquan's speed and immediately adjusted their muzzles to aim at him.

But at this moment, Gelina generated a large amount of Vine among them, knocking all their vehicles over. By the time they climbed back up, Zhu Zhiquan's staff had already landed on their heads, instantly smashing their skulls open.

The last two saw that the battle was lost and were so scared they turned and ran. But Zhu Zhiquan did a backflip and jumped in front of them, then turned his head to look at them.

This terrifying aura made the two retreat in fear, and at the same time, Zhao Yuxin's voice came from behind them.

"Ajiu, Gelina, you two are too fast. You only left these two for us, so what am I supposed to do with the army I brought out?"

Army?

The remaining two Howling Regiment members looked back and were stunned on the spot, because apart from Zhao Yuxin and the young couple, those dozens of Plant Monster-like troops were all standing behind them.

Other players watching the show clicked their tongues in wonder, even posting this scene to the World Channel and engaging in heated discussions with others.

The two Howling Regiment members wanted to surrender, but the next second, Zhu Zhiquan's staff smashed their heads into pulp.
