Chapter 317: Cave Exploration (Part 3)

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuxin stomped her foot and turned her head away angrily, "You must have other women, otherwise why would you disdain my kisses!"

Zhu Zhiquan: "????"

Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan did not reply, Zhao Yuxin was so angry that she kicked him in the leg. If they weren't currently inside a monster cave, she would have loved to have a huge argument with Zhu Zhiquan right then and there, although in all likelihood, Zhu Zhiquan wouldn't argue with her.

Zhu Zhiquan stood where he was, unable to understand why Zhao Yuxin was angry again, but to ensure there would be no trouble during the battle, he gently nudged Zhao Yuxin a few times.

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuxin twisted her head to the side, "I'll settle the score with you later; let's solve how we're getting out first."

At this moment, the explosions had also ceased; after this round of blasts, the number of one-eyed monkeys still capable of maintaining their normal strength was less than half of the original amount.

But these successive explosions still alarmed more one-eyed monkeys within the cave, and they roared as they set out from the depths of the cavern, determined to figure out exactly what was going on.

And those one-eyed monkeys that had been blasted by the Landmine Pinecones heard their companions' voices and shouted back one after another. Their companions, whose bodies were still relatively intact, helped them up and moved them to the side to clear a path for the main force.

Hearing such aggressive footsteps, Zhao Yuxin immediately opened the panel to contact Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, hurry and evacuate the players outside the cave; we won't be able to look after you once the fighting starts!"

"Got it." After seeing Zhao Yuxin's message, Zhang Yu immediately stopped what she was doing, went outside the vehicle, and shouted to the players watching the show at the cave entrance: "Everyone run! The monsters inside are about to come out!"

Hearing that the monsters were coming out, the players who had been watching the fun near the cave entrance immediately slipped into their respective vehicles and accelerated away from there.

Liu Feng heard there was danger and immediately dove into the driver's seat, putting a foot on the accelerator, ready to flee at any moment.

After confirming there were no other players, Zhang Yu sent a private message to Zhao Yuxin: "Regiment Leader Zhao, there are no other players outside the cave now; Xuebao and I will drive away first."

Soon, Zhao Yuxin's message of agreement was sent over, and Zhang Yu said to Xuebao: "Um... little one, we have to leave here for a while; dangerous monsters are coming to attack us soon."

"Hmm?" Xuebao put down the kitchen knife in its hand, trying to understand what Zhang Yu had just said.

"We have to start running for our lives; go start your car, come with us, and leave here in a bit, do you understand?" Zhang Yu explained while gesturing.

Xuebao understood at this moment: this was asking it to abandon its mom and dad, as well as Gelina, and go with them all by itself!

Thinking of this, Xuebao immediately ran toward its family's vehicle, which led Zhang Yu to mistakenly believe that Xuebao had agreed to her suggestion, so she turned her head and continued processing ingredients.

At the same time, Zhao Yuxin planted the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine and then released all the plants she had brought with her.

At the very front were five pots of Frost Shooter, acting as the front-line firepower on the outermost perimeter. Next were three Hook-Lock Tree Demons responsible for control, and finally, the Durian Warriors were responsible for covering the rear.

Zhu Zhiquan and Gelina scattered a large number of Landmine Pinecones at the very front of the defensive line, and after everything was ready, Zhao Yuxin shouted, drawing the attention of all the other one-eyed monkeys to their path.

Then, the Durian Warriors continuously pounded their chests to ensure all the one-eyed monkeys could find them.

The reason for doing this was that after analysis by Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin, they unanimously concluded that Xuebao would likely not listen to the couple's advice and would refuse to leave the spot.

If that happened and these monsters didn't find them, they would likely rush out of the cave, and even if Xuebao dodged the car and coordinated with the Snake Vine Creepers, it might still be a case of two fists being no match for four hands.

Furthermore, this way Zhu Zhiquan could still experience the pleasure brought by battle, and it was also a good opportunity to increase his attributes.

As long as the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine could quickly dig a passage, not only would they get the attribute experience, but they could also collect all the Material Boxes.

As the one-eyed monkeys approached the dead-end path, Zhao Yuxin immediately ordered the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to begin digging.

The Green Leaf Burrowing Vine began to execute the order, but the vine, which had always been able to dig a tunnel quickly, was now digging significantly slower.

"This is a bit troublesome," Zhao Yuxin muttered while supporting her forehead, then she looked toward the front of the defensive line.

At this moment, a group of one-eyed monkeys was charging toward them aggressively, but as the Frost Shooters began to fire, ice shards shot out from them, hitting these one-eyed monkeys like raindrops.

After these ice shards hit the bodies of the one-eyed monkeys, they began to freeze, and their speed slowed down as well.

In the blink of an eye, this batch of one-eyed monkeys was completely wiped out, but even more one-eyed monkeys were gathering toward them.

Zhao Yuxin turned her head to look at the tunnel and found that it had already been dug more than ten meters deep by the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine, so she jumped in directly and said to Zhu Zhiquan and the others: "Ajiu, I'm going to get the Material Boxes; you guys hold on!"

Zhu Zhiquan did not respond to Zhao Yuxin's words, but instead turned his head to look at Gelina, "Gelina, do you have any problems?"

Gelina shook her head; seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan excitedly pulled out the Jingtian Pozhen Gun and looked toward the tunnel entrance with a predatory gaze.

At this time, the intersection was already filled with one-eyed monkeys, and this group of monkeys, each holding various stone tools like Stone Spears, Stone Knives, and Stone Axes, was slowly closing in on the direction of Zhu Zhiquan and the others.

Among them was one with a massive build, wearing a crown made of various bones, and a garland made of various fresh flowers around its neck.

Beneath it was a bone throne, and four one-eyed monkeys were carrying the sedan chair below the throne. This was the king of the one-eyed monkeys—the One-Eyed Monkey King!

At this moment, a small, thin one-eyed monkey passed through the monkey troop to reach the front of the Monkey King, and then gestured squeakily toward the path where Zhu Zhiquan and the others were located.

The One-Eyed Monkey King felt shocked by the language of this one-eyed monkey, and then it let out a loud roar; a group of one-eyed monkeys carried over a giant stone axe.

The One-Eyed Monkey King took the stone axe and then raised its arms to shout; the surrounding one-eyed monkeys also roared along, crowding around the Monkey King as they entered the passage where Zhu Zhiquan and the others were waiting.

Their roaring sounds soon reached the ears of Zhu Zhiquan and the others, and immediately after, they felt the monsters' footsteps become synchronized.

"The boss is here!" Zhu Zhiquan judged by instinct, and at the same time, a flash of fanaticism crossed his eyes, because this time he could finally face an opponent with decent strength.

Soon he converted this excitement into fury and let out a roar toward the direction of the one-eyed monkeys; the blood in his body began to boil, and his total attributes increased by 50% all at once.

The one-eyed monkey troop naturally did not want to be outdone, and under the leadership of the One-Eyed Monkey King, they responded to Zhu Zhiquan's roar.

As the one-eyed monkey troop continued to close in, a great battle inside the cave was about to erupt.
