Chapter 61: Volcano Maze (I)

Hell Resistance: Allows your body to withstand higher and lower temperatures, and increases Strength by 5 points when your Health is below 30% in a dark environment.

{Note: This ability cannot exceed the upper limit. }

Bloodthirsty Body: When you consume fresh flesh, you can repair partial damage to your body, and when night falls, you will be able to temporarily strengthen yourself by consuming souls.

{Note: This ability cannot exceed the upper limit, and the boost will disappear prematurely after daytime arrives. The boost duration is 5 minutes, and the effect and duration cannot be stacked. }

Bitter Refining Scales: By absorbing the surrounding painful emotions, a layer of tough scales covers your skin. In a dark environment, every time you take damage, the scales will automatically wail, causing indiscriminate soul damage to surrounding life forms.

After reading the three options, Zhu Zhiquan immediately chose Hell Resistance as his upgrade path, because this option could coordinate with the Boiling Blood talent to make it perform better.

As for Bloodthirsty Body, it was indeed good, but when he thought about how he could not break through the Qilin's defense no matter what, he still felt a lingering fear.

Finally, this Bitter Refining Scales looked quite good, but the problem was that if damage was taken in a dark environment, Zhao Yuxin would likely be accidentally injured.

"Selection successful, your Hell Body gains the Hell Resistance effect. Furthermore, the Magic Power provided by Hell Body becomes 7, and becomes All Attributes +5 when in a dark environment."

Zhu Zhiquan moved the items opened from the Material Box into the Tricycle carriage and set off again.

Beep beep beep~

Beep beep beep~

Beep beep beep~

Not long after moving forward, a group of players kept sending private messages to Zhu Zhiquan. Zhu Zhiquan immediately stopped the vehicle and chose to trade with the player who provided four electronic parts plus one electronic component and two sleeping bags among these players.

The moment the trade was completed, the Eating Doll swallowed the Team Building Card and spat out the items Zhu Zhiquan traded for.

Zhao Yuxin, who was taking a nap, happened to be hit by them. Just as she was about to get angry, she discovered there were sleeping bags, so her eyes immediately lit up, and she crawled into a sleeping bag to continue sleeping.

But as the Tricycle moved forward, the bumpy road still shook Zhao Yuxin awake from her sleep.

Zhao Yuxin rubbed her eyes and said, "Ha~ Ajiu, what is this world? The road is so bumpy!"

"See for yourself," Zhu Zhiquan said coldly.

Zhao Yuxin lifted the cloth curtain of the carriage window, and a wave of heat hit her cheeks. When Zhao Yuxin saw the narrow road and the magma below, she understood and retreated back into the carriage.

Looking at the Ice Cream Cactus sleeping soundly to the side, Zhao Yuxin complained, "This Ice Cream Cactus really has good sleep quality, it can sleep so well on such a bumpy road." Saying this, she packed up the sleeping bag.

At this time, Zhu Zhiquan drove the Tricycle to a stone gate, and Zhu Zhiquan was making a Hand-cranked Flashlight to scout the surrounding environment.

Zhao Yuxin shouted once and listened carefully to the information conveyed by the echo, "Ajiu, let's go in first, there is a sign inside and I don't know what is written on it."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded slightly, got out of the vehicle with Zhao Yuxin to open the stone gate, and then drove the Tricycle into the stone gate.

"Give me the flashlight." Zhao Yuxin took the flashlight from Zhu Zhiquan and shone it to the right, "Huoshan Migong..."

Boom!

The stone gate suddenly closed, startling Zhao Yuxin. Zhu Zhiquan in the driver's seat was calm, seemingly having no reaction to the door being closed, and continued to read the content on the sign.

"Huoshan Migong rules are as follows:

One, after entering the maze, all players must exit from the exit;

Two, to leave the maze, you must obtain the Core of the Stone Statue Knight to open the exit;

Three, you may encounter other players in the maze, please be careful, because every time a group of players is killed, the system will likely reward a White Supply Box, and with a small probability reward a Green Supply Box."

Zhao Yuxin came back to her senses, patted her chest lightly and said, "Ajiu, you are too calm, right!? The door behind us closed and you aren't worried?"

Zhu Zhiquan said expressionlessly, "Worried? Is being worried useful? Anyway, the road has extended to here all the way, there are no other forks. If the system wanted to kill us, it wouldn't need to be this troublesome, so what is there to be worried about?"

Zhao Yuxin said very surprised, "Then you are too calm! Ajiu, are you not afraid of death? Every time you fight, you are so fierce! Are you sure you were really just a homebody before you transmigrated?"

Zhu Zhiquan said faintly, "Are you afraid?"

"Who said I was afraid! Go this way!" Zhao Yuxin pointed in a direction, and Zhu Zhiquan pedaled the tricycle in the direction she pointed. After moving a few steps, Zhao Yuxin stopped him, "Wait a minute, why don't you turn off the flashlight and let me take over."

Zhao Yuxin came to the driver's seat and stepped on the pedals, moving forward in this unsettling maze. After passing a fork in the road, Zhu Zhiquan heard the sounds of other players fighting each other, which made him eager to try.

However, although he was a battle maniac, he still had a brain and did not actually rush out to fight others to the death. But watching Zhao Yuxin drive the tricycle, stopping and going, and sometimes even reversing, Zhu Zhiquan wished he could take over the driving rights of the tricycle right now.

After all, there was no need to be so afraid of having a conflict with others; at worst, just fight it out.

One thousand meters after passing a crossroads, Zhao Yuxin stopped pedaling. Zhu Zhiquan originally didn't care, but when he heard the sounds of tricycles driving from both front and back, he immediately became excited.

"Hit me, hit me, hit me... hurry up and let me have some fun!" Zhu Zhiquan murmured.

Zhao Yuxin in the driver's seat put her hands together, "I hope the two groups of players coming don't like to fight, killing and fighting is very bad, don't fight, don't fight..."

When the two tricycles arrived next to their tricycle, Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan were both extremely tense.

Subsequently, a man got off each of the two vehicles. One held a portable lamp and the other held a lantern, and they came to Zhu Zhiquan and the others' tricycle to look them over. Afterwards, the person holding the lantern said, "Brother, I think we can pass."

"I also think we can pass." The man with the portable lamp first agreed with the other's idea, then tapped on the window of Zhu Zhiquan's tricycle, "Brother, you can pass, just pedal forward."

Zhao Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly pedaled. Zhu Zhiquan, who was sleeping in the carriage, had a disappointed look on his face and had to slowly put down the weapon in his hand.

But after driving for a distance, Zhao Yuxin noticed that the vehicle that was behind her just now had been following her, and she also heard the sound of drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

"Ajiu, watch out for the Crossbow!"

Swish~

Clang!

The slender Crossbow Bolt pierced through the tricycle's cover, making a hole in the cover's glass.

Zhu Zhiquan immediately became excited, shot a Crossbow Bolt toward the rear, grabbed a Dagger Spear, and rushed out.

Zhao Yuxin did not hear the sound of armor plates colliding and was greatly alarmed. She hurriedly got out of the vehicle and shouted, "Ajiu, you haven't put on your armor yet!"

But what came toward her was the sound of weapons clashing and the sizzling of electric current. Zhao Yuxin wanted to join the battle, but a sudden scream made her whole body tremble.

"A... Ajiu?" She called out softly, and then another scream came. Zhao Yuxin turned on the Hand-cranked Flashlight and looked over.

She discovered that the Dagger Spear in Zhu Zhiquan's hand was skewering a man, fresh blood flowing down the tip of the pole to his hand and dripping onto the ground. At the same time, there was a corpse on the ground, but because Zhu Zhiquan was blocking it, it was temporarily impossible to tell if it was male or female.

Beside the corpse was a White Supply Box, which had clearly just refreshed.

Zhu Zhiquan just gave a light shake, and the corpse on the Dagger Spear fell to the ground. Afterwards, he performed a spear flourish and handed the Supply Box on the ground to Zhao Yuxin. Although Zhu Zhiquan tried his best to maintain a smile, the blood on his face was hair-raising.
