Chapter 81

Hearing the woman's voice, the Black Suo Bandit players on guard duty, curious, looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw Ling Xi sitting on the canopy of a tricycle belonging to a Black Kou Dao Group player, shouting at them, with a large number of Black Kou Dao Group tricycles pursuing them aggressively behind.

Seeing this, the player quickly called the squad leader; upon seeing the scene, the squad leader immediately recalled what the regiment leader had said earlier about two traitors, and it seemed these two traitors had been exposed.

The squad leader then hurriedly reported the situation, soon receiving an order, and immediately commanded: "Everyone, attack! No mercy for anyone who approaches the banner!"

One player hesitated: "But... the person sitting on the canopy of the lead tricycle looks like one of our Black Suo Bandit people—could it be..."

"No more talk! Attack!" The squad leader instantly flew into a rage.

"Yes, yes~" All the players assumed attack stances, preparing to eliminate Ling Xi along with them.

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan assume an attack stance, he was so frightened he jumped, immediately slammed the handlebars to a stop, made a sharp ninety-degree turn, and ran off in another direction.

The next second, a large volley of attacks was fired; part of the attacks originally aimed at Zhu Zhiquan and his group landed on the pursuing Black Kou Dao Group players behind.

Under attack from the Black Suo Bandit, the Black Kou Dao Group players immediately abandoned pursuit of the traitors, one by one returning to the fortress.

As the Black Kou Dao Group players departed, Zhu Zhiquan's group's tricycle instantly became the focus of concentrated fire; Zhu Zhiquan controlled the tricycle, dodging and weaving, and with trees providing cover, they finally escaped.

"Honestly, this Black Suo Bandit is so unscrupulous—after our traitor identities were exposed, they went all out on us, just for skimming a bit of wool? Is it really necessary to be this stingy?" Zhao Yuxin complained.

"Mmm~" With no life threat remaining, the Ice Cream Cactus regained its usual liveliness, constantly licking Zhao Yuxin's cheeks in an attempt to soothe her emotions.

Ling Xi sat slumped on the canopy, suddenly remembering her husband was still near some banner controlled by the Black Suo Bandit; thinking this, she hastily sent a message to Sun Zi.

But after one minute, then two, Sun Zi still hadn't replied to her message. Ling Xi's heart clenched; she checked the teammate information again and found Sun Zi had merely fallen into a coma, his health still good, no life danger.

Ling Xi instinctively wanted to open a portal to go rescue Sun Zi, but this thought instantly vanished. After thinking it over, Ling Xi jumped down from the tricycle and discussed the matter with Zhu Zhiquan and the others.

Just as Ling Xi and the others were being driven out by the Black Suo Bandit, Sun Zi was loafing around in a Black Suo Bandit camp when suddenly a group of people seized him.

"What are you doing? You suddenly—" Sun Zi was suddenly knocked unconscious by someone; before losing consciousness, he vaguely heard the Black Suo Bandit regiment leader's mockery.

"Hmph, since you're already useless, then figure out how to wipe you all out to make up for my losses. Hahahaha..."

When Sun Zi woke up again, he found himself imprisoned in a cage, with several people patrolling around.

Sun Zi smirked contemptuously, planning to use his talent to destroy the cage and fight his way out. But no matter how he activated his talent, the talent effect never triggered.

"What's going on?" Sun Zi began examining the cage; upon seeing the item information, he finally understood why he couldn't use his talent skill.

Name: Player Prison Cage v1

Quality: Blue

Description: A cage that can nullify a player's talent, skills, equipment, etc.; as long as the player's own strength does not exceed 10 points, they cannot destroy it from within.

Sun Zi immediately opened the teammate information; seeing Ling Xi's health was normal, he also relaxed, and with nothing to do, he opened the World Channel in the cage to see what players were currently discussing.

Huahua: "By the way, does anyone know how the Black Suo Bandit and Black Kou Dao Group are doing? Has anyone said anything?"

The soldier longing to go home: "Yeah, now the Black Kou Dao Group has driven out the two traitors and recaptured several banners; I think we now have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Merchant Group Leader: "Traitors? After entering the player group battlefield, aren't you able to monitor subordinate players' panels? How did these traitors develop?"

The one who loves sugar candy: "By the way, what caused these two player groups to start fighting?"

One who wishes to offer everything to the Lord: "Unclear; now my Lord will remove their ignorance for them."

…………

Sun Zi was intently watching the World Channel when suddenly an explosion occurred somewhere, and a large number of players rushed over to investigate.

Then followed several more explosions in different locations; the players responsible for guarding were also mobilized in large numbers.

At this moment, a faint digging sound appeared beside the Player Prison Cage, then a shovel resembling a green leaf drilled out of the ground, and subsequently kept expanding as a vine-like thing drilled out from inside.

Before Sun Zi could figure out what was happening, the next second the vine-like thing seemed to be pulled away, and then a familiar head drilled out from within.

"Hey, old brother, we've come to save you." Zhao Yuxin lowered her voice and said.

Sun Zi asked curiously: "What was the name of that new plant just now?"

"This is the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine; it's good at digging tunnels in the soil, although its lifespan is only one day, but it leaves seeds before dying for future planting. How's that, impressive, right?" Zhao Yuxin said proudly.

Sun Zi nodded and said: "Then let's first get me out, then talk."

"Simple, Green Leaf Burrowing Vine, dig for me." Zhao Yuxin gave the order, and the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine immediately began digging beneath the cage; the next second, Sun Zi, together with the Player Prison Cage, fell into the tunnel.

The huge commotion drew curious players guarding nearby to come check; upon seeing the two additional holes, they immediately sent private messages to the regiment leader.

At this time, the Black Suo Bandit regiment leader Ethan Hunt was resting in his own tent enjoying dessert when suddenly a dripping sound echoed in his mind; he opened his panel and instantly flew into a rage.

"Damn it! Didn't I tell you to set up a heavenly net and earthly trap? How could someone still escape! Hurry up and give me chase!" After replying to his subordinates, Ethan Hunt also lost his appetite for dessert, simply summoned all battalion commanders to prepare to retake the lost ground.

……………

"Huff huff~ Ajiu, hurry over and help me open this cage—I ran all the way, exhausted, utterly worn out." Zhao Yuxin plopped down on the ground.

Zhu Zhiquan activated Boiling Blood, forcibly breaking the iron pillars of the Player Prison Cage. After Sun Zi emerged, he immediately lunged at Ling Xi, and the two embraced for a while before separating.

"What should we do now? We're being squeezed from both sides; we can't just stay underground forever, right? Feels so boring." Zhao Yuxin said, sitting on the ground.
