Chapter 32: Crisis on the Narrow Bridge (Part 1)
Zhao Yuxin looked back and said, "Ajiu, the good news is we will be out of this Sandstorm soon; the bad news is that the actual distance to the edge of the Sandstorm is still very far."
Zhu Zhiquan: "No matter, just drive as best you can."
"Mm." Zhao Yuxin stepped on the pedals again, and the Tricycle moved and stopped on the narrow bridge, nimbly dodging the various crises on the bridge.
After passing seven or eight mechanisms, Zhao Yuxin and the others encountered a traffic jam on the road. Zhao Yuxin listened carefully to the sound waves transmitting information in the surroundings to determine the cause of the jam.
"Ajiu, there are many players ahead still trying to pass through the mechanisms, so we are going to be stuck in this traffic jam for a long time."
"Understood, we'll just wait slowly."
"Mm~" Zhao Yuxin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Ajiu, the mechanisms ahead are linked, I'm a little scared."
Zhu Zhiquan took three duck eggs from the Micro Poultry Breeding Platform, "Not acting tough anymore?"
Hearing Zhu Zhiquan's questioning, Zhao Yuxin immediately retorted: "Who's acting tough! Passing these... these mechanisms is clearly a piece of cake, okay! I... I'm just worried about... about breaking the things in our vehicle!"
Zhu Zhiquan: "……………"
After half an hour passed, Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle had only advanced less than fifty meters, and two more tricycles had appeared behind them.
"What are the people in front doing! Why are they blocking the way here?"
A female voice with a Northeast accent came over, which gave Zhao Yuxin a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't recall it for a moment.
"The people in front are still passing through the mechanisms, can you wait a moment?" At this time, a player answered the woman's confusion.
"Wait? Hmph!"
Boom!
"Ah~"
Boom!
"F*** you! You bastard!!!"
The woman knocked the two tricycles behind Zhu Zhiquan and the others off the narrow bridge. A woman holding a giant Wolf-tooth Mace and covered in Earth Armor, along with a v3 Level Tricycle, arrived behind Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle.
The woman was just about to knock their Tricycle off the narrow bridge as well, but was blocked by Zhu Zhiquan using a Dagger Spear.
"It's you!" The moment the woman saw Zhu Zhiquan, she recognized him, but Zhu Zhiquan did not recognize her.
Both sides retreated to their own tricycles. Another woman poked her head out from the woman's tricycle, and the moment she saw Zhu Zhiquan, that woman revealed an angry expression.
If Zhao Yuxin could see the faces of these two people right now, she would definitely be able to recognize that these two people were exactly the two women who had obstructed her and bullied her in Corrupted Erosion City before Zhu Zhiquan was resurrected.
It was just that everyone was currently in the Sandstorm, and on top of that, she was responsible for driving, so she couldn't see the two women behind.
"Liu Jie, this man is here, which means that woman must be here too!" said the woman with the Wolf-tooth Mace.
"Xiaowan, you're right. It just so happens that today I will help you take revenge for the assassination!"
Having said that, Liu Jie snapped her fingers. A Magic Array appeared behind their tricycle, and out of it came a monster that only had a human head and a pair of bat wings.
When Zhao Yuxin learned via her Bat Wing Ear that a monster had appeared out of thin air behind them, she immediately remembered who the familiar voice from before actually belonged to.
"It's those two? We're in trouble now!" She immediately poked her head out and shouted to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, be careful! Those two are not easy to deal with!"
While Zhao Yuxin was warning Zhu Zhiquan, Zhu Zhiquan was already fighting them, but because Zhu Zhiquan hadn't used his talent yet, he was briefly at a disadvantage.
Listening to the sounds of fighting behind her, Zhao Yuxin had a flash of inspiration and shouted to the front: "Players ahead, there are two bullies behind who want to kill us and even summoned a monster to wipe us out, let's all work together to deal with them!"
The players ahead who were passing through the mechanisms heard this and turned their heads one after another. Already irritated by the traffic jam, they were suddenly filled with burning rage.
"Hmph! We are all players, why should we let them run wild!"
"That's right, brothers, let's f*** them up!"
Some players took out weapons, stepped on each other's tricycles, and rushed toward the back, while other players used talents to provide help to the group.
Seeing that Zhao Yuxin had called all the players in front over with one shout, they immediately stopped fighting and hurriedly returned to their tricycle to keep backing up.
Seeing them continuously reversing, the crowd cursed a few times symbolically and then returned to their respective tricycles.
From this point on, an unspoken rule was added to the group: no fighting or physical conflict was allowed here.
After advancing about ten meters, Liu Jie and the others' Tricycle quietly drove to the back of Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle. Even though they really wanted to slaughter Zhao Yuxin, they didn't dare to make a move anymore.
Soon, there was only one tricycle left in front of Zhu Zhiquan and the others. Zhao Yuxin's palms were sweating from nervousness, and she kept muttering to herself, seemingly trying to cheer herself up.
The tricycle in front seized the opportunity and rushed out when the blades retracted, but soon there was a sound of shattering, followed by a miserable scream.
This was not the first player to fail. Zhao Yuxin took a deep breath, slammed her foot on the pedal, and the Tricycle shot out like an arrow from a bow.
With the help of the Bat Wing Ear, Zhao Yuxin dodged nimbly among the mechanisms. Not far from them, the strange creature summoned by Liu Jie stared at them closely, and the scene it saw was transmitted to Liu Jie's mind.
Liu Jie sighed at the image in her mind of Zhao Yuxin nimbly avoiding the mechanisms: "Quite agile, huh. Human-faced Bat Demon, interfere with them for me!"
The Human-faced Bat Demon received the order and dove toward the path Zhao Yuxin had to take. Zhao Yuxin subconsciously braked when she sensed danger, but this also caused the Tricycle to be unable to rush out of the danger zone in time.
A giant axe slowly descended, and Zhao Yuxin was so scared she closed her eyes, not daring to look directly at it.
Zzzzt~
Boom!
At the critical moment, Zhu Zhiquan activated his Boiling Blood talent, jumped into mid-air, and kicked the handle of the giant axe, snapping it.
The axe head fell into the abyss as a result, while Zhu Zhiquan landed steadily on the hood of the Tricycle, simultaneously deactivating Boiling Blood.
The scene was transmitted to Liu Jie, and Liu Jie immediately became wary of Zhu Zhiquan, "It seems that when we fought before, this man didn't use his full strength..."
"Hey! How much longer are you people in front going to take!" At this time, a player shouted impatiently.
Liu Jie glared at the back, not discovering who the person scolding was. "Forget it, let's set off too. Xiaowan, clear the path in front."
Xiaowan touched the spikes of the Wolf-tooth Mace, and the next second, Xiaowan's entire body was covered in metal. Afterward, Xiaowan strode into the trap zone to destroy the traps, while Liu Jie pedaled the tricycle and controlled the Human-faced Bat Demon to launch interference against Zhu Zhiquan and the others.
The players behind saw the traps being destroyed and rushed forward one after another, but when they reached the halfway point, those destroyed traps suddenly restored themselves, causing a large group of players to die as a result.
But the players also discovered a new approach because of this: those with powerful attack talents directly used their talents to open a path, and those without powerful attack talents provided powerful weapons or items.
Furthermore, to ensure safety, all players consciously kept a certain distance to prevent being hurt by the restored mechanisms.
Zhao Yuxin noticed that Liu Jie's vehicle behind them was getting closer and closer and felt a headache, "Ajiu, what should we do? Those two hags are about to catch up."
