Chapter 78

After reading the intelligence left by Ling Xi, Zhao Yuxin immediately tore it up, while the Ice Cream Cactus beside her tilted its head, puzzled by her actions.

Thinking that perhaps the information left by that person earlier had made her mother angry, the Ice Cream Cactus came over to Zhao Yuxin's side and nuzzled her.

Zhao Yuxin gave the Ice Cream Cactus a hug before heading out of the carriage to find Zhu Zhiquan, leaving some fertilizer for the Ice Cream Cactus on her way out.

"Hmm~" The Ice Cream Cactus watched her mother leave, lowering its head in disappointment.

Just then, Zhu Zhiquan happened to be walking back toward his tricycle with a bottle of "Happy Water" he had swiped from somewhere, and Zhao Yuxin pulled him into the vehicle the moment she saw him.

Seeing that both Mom and Dad were back, the Ice Cream Cactus was overjoyed, rushing toward them and licking them enthusiastically.

"Be good, baby, sit still and don't fidget, be good." Zhao Yuxin soothed the Ice Cream Cactus, and once it had calmed down, she told Zhu Zhiquan about the intelligence Ling Xi had left behind.

Zhu Zhiquan: "Ling Xi notified us that they are about to attack this banner, but did she say where exactly they are going to strike?"

Zhao Yuxin: "According to the intelligence, they will be coming from the west in a while. If that's the case, we should place a large number of Sea Buckthorn Bomb-men on the west side, and then the Black Rope Bandit Group will be able to successfully capture this place."

Zhu Zhiquan lifted the curtain to check on the surrounding guards, then said to Zhao Yuxin: "You stay here and make a few more Sea Buckthorn Bomb-men; I'm going to check the placement spots." With that, he stepped out of the carriage.

"Okay." Zhao Yuxin immediately began drawing magic circles inside the carriage, preparing to craft more Sea Buckthorn Bomb-men.

The Ice Cream Cactus sat to the side, eating the fertilizer Zhao Yuxin had given it and nuzzling her from time to time.

Zhao Yuxin simply patted its head and focused entirely on crafting four Sea Buckthorn Bomb-men in the carriage. When Zhu Zhiquan returned after confirming the locations, he carried the bomb-men out one by one.

Zhao Yuxin was about to help, but when she saw the Ice Cream Cactus also trying to pick up a Sea Buckthorn Bomb-man, she quickly stopped it.

"Hmm?" The Ice Cream Cactus tilted its head, not understanding why her mother was stopping her.

………………

As Zhu Zhiquan moved the Sea Buckthorn Bomb-men, others noticed the plants in his hands and felt it was strange, all eyes turning toward him.

"Brother, where did you get these plants?" a player from the Black Mouth Bandit Group asked.

Zhu Zhiquan didn't respond; he simply placed the Sea Buckthorn Bomb-man in the appropriate spot and walked back silently.

Just as the man was about to get angry, Zhao Yuxin happened to be carrying another Sea Buckthorn Bomb-man to hand to Zhu Zhiquan.

The player immediately asked Zhao Yuxin: "Hey, what is that stuff you're moving?"

"You mean this plant?" Zhao Yuxin pointed at the Sea Buckthorn Bomb-man. "We found this plant on the road when we were fleeing. I thought it looked quite nice, so I brought it onto the carriage. It adds a nice aesthetic touch here."

The player nodded and went back to his own work. By the time the two of them had finished moving the plants, Ling Xi had just teleported to their tricycle.

Ling Xi: "How is it? Can the plan begin?"

Zhao Yuxin: "Everything is ready. Sister Ling Xi, hurry and notify the main force to attack this place. Zhu and I will be responsible for cleaning up any stragglers."

Ling Xi nodded, left behind a piece of cloth, and teleported away. After reading the content on the cloth, Zhao Yuxin said: "Zhu, Ling Xi and their player group want us to go to other islands to assist them in capturing banners."

Zhu Zhiquan sat in the driver's seat and nodded slightly. Zhao Yuxin said with some displeasure: "Zhu, aren't you going to offer any suggestions?"

Zhu Zhiquan immediately broke into a cold sweat. His brain processed for only 0.1 seconds before he came up with a plan: "Zhao, I think we should handle the stragglers first before heading to the mission location, otherwise it will be easy to expose our identity as double agents."

"Hmph!" Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan had offered a suggestion, Zhao Yuxin couldn't be bothered to argue with him. After petting the Ice Cream Cactus, she began researching new plants.

Zhao Yuxin had just finished drawing a magic circle when she heard shouts of battle outside, and even the sound of explosions from time to time.

"Enemy attack! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Grab your weapons and get out there!"

……………

Hearing the commotion outside, Zhu Zhiquan slammed on the accelerator and drove the tricycle toward the battlefield.

Upon arriving at the scene, Zhu Zhiquan heard the commander's orders as other Black Mouth Bandit Group players tried their best to block the Black Rope Bandit Group's advance.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin ordered: "Sea Buckthorn Bomb-men, blow up all the guards for me!"

Boom, boom, boom~

The Sea Buckthorn Bomb-men threw their fruits, and each fruit exploded, killing the defending Black Mouth Bandit Group players.

The players of the Black Mouth Bandit Group were stunned by the sudden explosions, which also caused their firepower to falter briefly.

The Black Rope Bandit Group seized the opportunity to break through the defenses, and suddenly, the Black Mouth Bandit Group began to flee in a rout.

"Get back! Get back here!" The captain of the Black Mouth Bandit Group in charge of command tried to stop the retreat, but with little effect, so he could only send a message to Kugo Kiko.

Boom!

Suddenly, a fruit exploded beside him. The captain was blown away on the spot and landed hard on the ground. Before dying, he managed to send one last message to Kugo Kiko, then his eyes widened and he perished.

"Nobody move! Or I'll kill whoever does!" As he said this, Zhu Zhiquan threw Explosive Chili Peppers at those who wouldn't listen. After an explosion, those nearby were killed instantly, while those further away lay on the ground rolling around, shouting about how spicy it was.

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan's brutal methods, many began to kneel and surrender. Some players who returned to their tricycles ignored Zhu Zhiquan's words, so Zhu Zhiquan simply injected mana into his Xunfeng Crossbow and fired.

Whoosh~

The mana-infused arrow was like a gust of wind, destroying everything in its path and finally piercing through the player who was trying to drive away in a tricycle.

This arrow made the other players attempting to drive away stop and choose to surrender. A player from the Black Rope Bandit Group then captured the banner.

Zhu Zhiquan and his partner couldn't be bothered to deal with the prisoners and simply dumped them on the Black Rope Bandit Group. Zhu Zhiquan sacrificed the souls of eight people on the spot, and after Zhao Yuxin and the Ice Cream Cactus scavenged some supplies, they left.

Not long after they left, the Black Rope Bandit Group players looked at the surrendered Black Mouth Bandit Group members with mocking eyes...

Kugo Kiko, who was under a certain banner, was feeling depressed after learning there was a mole. At this moment, her younger brother, Kugo Jiro, and several loyal subordinates were waiting for her decision.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, Kugo Jiro stepped forward to advise Kugo Kiko: "Onee-san, we currently have an absolute advan..."

Bang!

Before Kugo Jiro could finish his sentence, Kugo Kiko slammed the table hard and scolded: "Otouto, what do you mean by this? You want me to admit defeat? Hmph! If it weren't for the mole, how could I have lost!"

Everyone fell into silence. A moment later, Kugo Jiro had a flash of inspiration and said to Kugo Kiko: "Onee-san, I have a way to find out who the spy is!"

"Speak quickly, what way!" Kugo Kiko's eyes widened, her body trembling continuously.

Kugo Jiro explained: "Onee-san, we can monitor the facial expressions of every member of the player group. So, if the spy wants to avoid our surveillance, they can only do so through innate skills. My talent is sensitive to space, so..."

Kugo Jiro didn't finish his sentence, and Kugo Kiko immediately frowned and asked: "But Otouto, the cost of your talent is too great, I'm afraid..."

Kugo Jiro said firmly: "Onee-san, to root out the mole, this cost is nothing."

Kugo Kiko smiled with relief. "Yoshi, that's my Otouto. Uesugi Musashi, you are responsible for protecting my Otouto."

"Understood!" Shangshan Wuzang nodded in response.

After the two siblings said their goodbyes, Jiugong Cilang and Shangshan Wuzang set off together.
