Chapter 55: Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter
After cleaning up the battlefield, the two returned to the Tricycle to rest; while cleaning the battlefield, they learned the names of the two newly spawned monsters.
One was called Lava Caterpillar, and the other was called Zhitian Owl. Zhao Yuxin did not really care about this; after making an ice cream cactus, she opened the World Channel to see how other players were doing.
Station Master Who Loves Pumping Iron: "It's so hot~ @Brother's Little Driver, did your brother say when this weather will end? I'm about to be roasted!"
Huahua: "Yeah, it's one thing that the cacti on the side of the road can be roasted, but every once in a while a group of monsters spawns to attack us. It's fortunate these monsters aren't very strong, otherwise I reckon we would have died long ago."
Yangguang Xujie: "The spawned monsters are getting stronger and stronger, we even have air forces appearing here!. jpg"
Bear Grylls Fan: "And damn it, we can't stop for too long! If we stop for too long, we'll attract fireball attacks."
Caoxie Meimei: "I don't think these are the most disgusting; I think the most disgusting thing is that the ground will suddenly collapse. Damn it! I was pedaling the Tricycle on the road and suddenly fell into a pit and almost couldn't get out!"
Duyan Chuanzhang: "I think it's..."
………………
After venting with the players, Zhao Yuxin felt much better; then she exhausted all her Magic Power to make three more ice cream cacti, keeping only the one with the best effect and selling the others on the Trading Channel.
The cold air emitted by the ice cream cactus Zhao Yuxin kept lowered the temperature of the entire Tricycle, and water droplets even appeared on the windshield of the driver's seat.
Zhao Yuxin held her nose high, clearly very satisfied with this ice cream cactus. She showed off to Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, how is it? The cooling effect of this ice cream cactus I kept is pretty good, right!"
Zhu Zhiquan glanced at it slightly and nodded in response, then climbed from the back window to the driver's seat and started pedaling the Tricycle.
"I... sigh~ forget it, Ajiu is always like this, too lazy to chat with this sesame seed. I'd better wait for my Magic Power to recover and do my research on new plants." Zhao Yuxin sat down in disappointment.
Suddenly, the Food-Eating Doll spat out a jade bracelet, which made Zhao Yuxin quite curious. Before she could ask, Zhu Zhiquan quickly climbed from the driver's seat back through the rear window into the carriage. Just as Zhao Yuxin was about to open her mouth to ask, Zhu Zhiquan suddenly pressed his finger to her lips.
Zhu Zhiquan squatted down to pick up the jade bracelet on the ground and looked at the Food-Eating Doll with some confusion.
"Notification: The Food-Eating Doll is requesting food from you, otherwise it will be unable to take out any items."
Zhu Zhiquan didn't say anything either; he took out a large portion of meat and gave it to the Food-Eating Doll. The Food-Eating Doll swallowed all the meat in one breath and spat out a necklace, a phoenix coronet inlaid with jewels, and a set of gorgeous clothes and shoes.
After it finished spitting out the items, a system prompt sounded in their minds: "The Food-Eating Doll is very satisfied with the meal. It will not request food from you for the next period of time."
The two ignored the system prompt. Zhu Zhiquan helped Zhao Yuxin put on the newly traded clothes and jewelry. Zhao Yuxin flipped through the clothes several times and discovered that the patterns on the clothes and shoes were embroidered.
Especially the clothes! The patterns on the front and back were clearly embroidered, yet the patterns on both sides were completely different. Zhao Yuxin asked excitedly: "Ajiu, how many supplies did you spend to trade for these things? They definitely weren't cheap!"
Zhu Zhiquan just smiled and said nothing, then returned to the driver's seat to continue pedaling the Tricycle. Zhao Yuxin lowered her head, muttering: "Wasteful, it's not like I don't have clothes to wear, honestly."
After traveling a distance on the Desert Highway, a new batch of monsters spawned again. This time the quantity was particularly large; acting as cannon fodder now were Hell Tortoises, and judging by the scale, there were at least forty of them.
Behind them followed two Lava Caterpillars, and in the sky, a Zhitian Owl was watching them covetously.
Zhu Zhiquan frowned tightly, gripping his weapon, feeling incomparably excited and nervous about the coming battle. Zhao Yuxin, however, was not afraid at this moment; instead, she excitedly moved out a strange plant.
This plant looked similar to a pea shooter, except the head was flatter and the opening was smaller; it was unclear what it would shoot.
"Ajiu, hurry and help me move the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters back." Zhao Yuxin's words left Zhu Zhiquan somewhat stunned, but he still moved two Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters out with Zhao Yuxin.
Zhao Yuxin said excitedly: "Hmph, you little brats, come taste the power of the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter! All Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters, listen to my command! Ready—fire!"
Pfft, pfft, pfft~
Emerald green Arrow after Arrow shot rapidly toward the herd of beasts. The two Lava Caterpillars trembled, each losing a crystal from their backs, and two walls of fire appeared in front of the herd.
Pop, pop, pop~
The Arrows were quickly vaporized upon hitting the fire walls, while the Hell Tortoises bypassed the two fire walls and cautiously approached them. The Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters dutifully fired Arrows non-stop, successfully shooting and killing several Hell Tortoises.
At the same time, the Zhitian Owl in the sky also condensed a fireball, preparing to throw it down.
Whoosh~
Pfft~
Zhao Yuxin fired an Arrow and knocked the Zhitian Owl down. The Zhitian Owl fell to the right side of one of the Lava Caterpillars. She touched her nose and said: "Hmph! I was guarding against you from the start! Take another Arrow from me!"
Whoosh~
Clang!
At the critical moment, the two Lava Caterpillars consumed the crystals on their backs to block the fatal blow for the Zhitian Owl.
Seeing the Lava Caterpillars always releasing crystals at the same time, Zhu Zhiquan couldn't help but complain: "What a waste! At this rate, there are only two times left."
The Zhitian Owl wanted to spread its wings and fly again, but unfortunately, Zhao Yuxin's Arrow hit its chest; even if it could fly up, it would soon fall back down. Soon, the Zhitian Owl stared fixedly at the direction of the two and slowly closed its eyes.
Pfft, pfft, pfft~
"Roar~"
The Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters fired continuously, and the Hell Tortoises were soon shot to death or injured in large numbers. Suddenly, the firing speed of one of the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters became slower and slower, and finally, its head drooped and it slowly withered.
Zhao Yuxin took out paper and pen to start recording: "The first Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter shows signs of withering after two minutes of continuous attack. Based on visual judgment, the firing speed is about 20 Crossbow Bolts per minute."
Soon the second Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter began to wither, and Zhao Yuxin recorded the data for the second one. The remaining Hell Tortoises endured the fear in their hearts and slowly approached. After they reached a certain distance from the Tricycle, Zhu Zhiquan threw a bomb and wiped them all out.
"Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters, stand by in place! Ajiu, help me move the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters onto the car." Zhao Yuxin directed Zhu Zhiquan to move the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters, while she went to the driver's seat and drove a few dozen meters forward.
The two Lava Caterpillars in the rear were ridiculously slow, taking a full ten minutes to crawl less than five meters.
Zhu Zhiquan couldn't wait any longer, so he took the initiative to get out of the car to finish them off and send them to the Western Paradise.
Zhao Yuxin backed the car up: "Ajiu, how are the plants I created?"
Zhu Zhiquan gave a thumbs up, then took out a Skinning Knife to begin the decomposition.
