Chapter 52: The Liaobiyan of the Scorched Arm

"It's nothing, I just used my talent too much, *cough cough*—it's no big deal." Luo Jincheng waved his hand to show he was still quite robust.

Zhao Yuxin: "That's enough, you're already like this, you should rest first. By the way, we've been walking in front, have you two obtained any Material Boxes?"

"We have, we already opened three on the road today. No more talk, we're heading off, let's chat another day." After answering Zhao Yuxin's question, Luo Jinrui immediately pedaled the Tricycle frantically and ran off.

"Seriously, why run so fast? I wouldn't eat you. Ajiu, I really want to eat ice cream, could you make me another one, please?" After complaining, Zhao Yuxin turned around and acted coquettishly toward Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan rolled his eyes at her, "Alright, if you want to eat it, just say so, don't act all cute and coquettish." Although he said that, he still made an ice cream for Zhao Yuxin.

"Hehe~" Zhao Yuxin hopped and skipped over to the driver's seat of the Tricycle to eat her ice cream.

Zhu Zhiquan was responsible for organizing the supplies spat out by the food-play doll in the carriage when he suddenly saw a group of various species of animals approaching them, and Zhu Zhiquan also sensed a murderous aura.

After these animals got a bit closer, Zhu Zhiquan discovered that the majority of them were a group of herbivores, with a small number of carnivores.

Zhu Zhiquan didn't care much; he made a Dagger Spear and the Dingtang Sword, then jumped off the vehicle to prepare for battle. Zhao Yuxin sensed Zhu Zhiquan getting off and intended to ask why, but when she saw that group of animals in the rearview mirror, she felt somewhat displeased.

"Damn System, you really are something. You don't refresh at any other time, but you just have to refresh while I'm eating ice cream!" Zhao Yuxin pressed one hand against the Dingtang Sword and activated the Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow with the other, cursing as she got off the vehicle.

"Ajiu, what's the plan?" Zhao Yuxin asked after arriving at Zhu Zhiquan's side.

Zhu Zhiquan finished counting the number of visitors and took out a Molotov Cocktail and a Fire Tinder, "Azhao, you just need to go back and pedal the Tricycle; I can wipe them out by myself."

Zhao Yuxin snatched the Molotov Cocktail and Fire Tinder from Zhu Zhiquan's hand, then roared as she charged out. "Eat one of my incendiary bottles, you little brats!"

*Patta~*

"Awoo~"

"Roar~"

"Owoo~"

………………

The fire spread through the herd, enveloping all the animals. In an instant, the animals fled in all directions, with the flames clinging to their bodies and devouring their lives.

"Hmph! How about that? Now you know how powerful I am!" Zhao Yuxin held her nose in the air, looking quite proud of herself.

*Clap clap clap~*

"Azhao is amazing, truly worthy of being my wife." Zhu Zhiquan clapped his hands and flattered her from behind. Although Zhu Zhiquan didn't really want to flatter her like this, he knew if he didn't praise Zhao Yuxin, she would definitely get angry.

"That's right!" Zhao Yuxin hopped and skipped over to Zhu Zhiquan, reached out her hand and said, "Ajiu, give me that thing."

Zhu Zhiquan handed the Skinning Knife to Zhao Yuxin, and after all the animals had been burned to death by the fire, Zhao Yuxin took the Skinning Knife and dismantled them all.

Before long, the two continued on their way. After opening a Material Box on the road, another small group of animals came knocking, only this time they were led by a humanoid animal that looked like both a cow and a horse with fire erupting from its shoulders; it was just unclear how strong its combat power was.

Zhu Zhiquan felt a hint of excitement looking at this thing, because this meant he had something good to play with again.

He immediately jumped off... well, this time he was stopped by Zhao Yuxin again, so Zhu Zhiquan had no choice but to obediently watch from the vehicle.

Zhao Yuxin threw the Molotov Cocktail to finish off the other animals and then fought with that cow-horse-like thing. Soon, Zhao Yuxin was knocked flying by this animal.

"You cow-horse! How dare you hit me! Watch me... Ouch! How can you breathe fire! You!!! You're cheating! Ajiu, save me!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuxin was in danger, Zhu Zhiquan arrived in front of the monster in the blink of an eye and stabbed it to death with one spear thrust.

Zhao Yuxin hid behind Zhu Zhiquan to observe for a good while, then went up and kicked it. Finding that the monster was truly dead, she started showing off again: "Hmph, how about that? Got taken out in one move by my man, didn't it? Telling you to bully me, hmph!"

After Zhao Yuxin finished showing off, she dismantled the monster along with the animal remains. "So this cow-horse is called a Liaobiyan. Ajiu, could this thing be some kind of demon?" Zhao Yuxin said, holding a crimson bead.

"Maybe, I didn't check its information anyway." Zhu Zhiquan turned and walked toward the Tricycle, "By the way, can you let me drive this time?"

Zhao Yuxin said with a serious face: "No! Your HP is only at 50% right now! You are absolutely not allowed to drive!"

Zhu Zhiquan said calmly: "You were just at full health and still got beaten up by the monster."

Zhao Yuxin frowned and said in a gentle tone: "Ajiu, be good, you should rest well now. I'll give you a chance to get on the field later, okay?"

Zhu Zhiquan still said with a calm expression: "You were just at full health and got beaten up by the monster."

Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but want to get angry, and her volume suddenly increased: "Don't look at the fact that I got beaten up by the monster this time, my combat power is still decent!"

Zhu Zhiquan remained expressionless and said: "Oh, last time you also got beaten up by a zombie."

Zhao Yuxin's forehead wrinkled into a 'chuan' shape, the veins on her hands bulged, and she roared at Zhu Zhiquan: "Last time was an accident! Didn't I win in the end!"

There was no change on Zhu Zhiquan's face, "I remember someone saying confidently before fighting a zombie that it was a piece of cake, and in the end, they still got beaten up by the zombie!"

Zhao Yuxin finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted angrily: "Fine, fine, fine, Zhu Zhiquan, you're not allowed to eat today!" After saying that, she returned to the Tricycle's carriage to fiddle with her potted plants.

"Why is this girl angry?" Zhu Zhiquan was baffled by this, so he opened the World Channel and sent: "May I ask if any great god can answer this, how should one coax an angry wife? Waiting online, it's urgent."

After a while, while Zhu Zhiquan was pedaling the Tricycle, Sun Zi sent a message. "Yo, little brother, your wife is angry? That's simple! You came to the right person! My experience is quite remarkable!"

Afterward, Sun Zi taught Zhu Zhiquan the routine he used to coax Ling Xi. Zhu Zhiquan immediately went to the carriage to coax Zhao Yuxin. At this very moment, as luck would have it, two new Liaobiyan led a group of animals to their door.

Zhu Zhiquan intended to eliminate the invading enemies, but Zhao Yuxin rushed out, first using a Molotov Cocktail to burn the animals to death, and then fought the two Liaobiyan without falling into a disadvantage.

This scene left Zhu Zhiquan stunned, "No way, are women this terrifying when they're angry? This combat power has multiplied several times! Should I just make her angry before every fight from now on?"

That's what he said, but it was still a bit strenuous for Zhao Yuxin to fight two Liaobiyan alone, and she soon fell into a disadvantage.

*Swish~*

Zhu Zhiquan held the Dagger Spear and forced the two Liaobiyan back, even wounding the arm of one of them. When he was about to continue his attack, he was kicked away by Zhao Yuxin.

"Zhu, why are you interfering in my fight!" Zhao Yuxin ignored Zhu Zhiquan and continued to engage the two Liaobiyan.

Before many moves had passed in the battle, the Liaobiyan that had been wounded by Zhu Zhiquan suddenly had its wound split open while attacking, which allowed Zhao Yuxin to seize the opportunity to behead it with one sword strike.

The other Liaobiyan was also quickly killed and dismantled by Zhao Yuxin. Zhu Zhiquan stepped forward to try to coax Zhao Yuxin into a good mood, but was met with a kick from Zhao Yuxin.
