Chapter 84: Searching for Ethan Hunt

Ling Xi gave a light cough to draw everyone's attention, "Everyone, I think..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhao Yuxin's ears twitched, and she shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's warning, the group reacted immediately and dodged in all directions.

Boom!

A massive sound accompanied by thick smoke and dust obscured the four people's vision. From the Tricycle parked not far away, the Ice Cream Cactus saw a huge noise coming from the direction of its mom and dad, so it dropped the fertilizer in its hands and ran over in a hurry.

Zhu Zhiquan helped Zhao Yuxin up and looked ahead cautiously. Zhao Yuxin, however, was watching the direction of the Ice Cream Cactus. Seeing the Ice Cream Cactus running toward them, she pushed Zhu Zhiquan aside and ran toward the Ice Cream Cactus.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a detachment of the Black Rope Bandit Group looked at the four people present, excitement appearing on each of their faces.

"Captain, these must be the four players who have been attacking our Black Rope Bandit Group. If we kill them, the Regiment Leader will definitely reward us!" one squad member said excitedly.

Before anyone else could speak, Zhu Zhiquan threw out an Explosive Chili.

Boom!

After the Explosive Chili exploded, this detachment was mostly wiped out, with only one or two players left rolling on the ground. Most of the capsaicin produced by the explosion of the Explosive Chili flowed away through the hole.

Sun Zi walked forward, preparing to pick up a player by hand to get some information, but Zhao Yuxin immediately shouted, "Wait a second, don't touch these two players with your hands! Otherwise, your hands will be swollen from the excessive capsaicin!"

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's words, Sun Zi hurriedly retracted his palm and kept backing away, cold sweat breaking out on his face.

Looking at the two people rolling on the ground, Sun Zi asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, is there any saving these two?"

"Husband, what time do you think it is, and you're still worried about whether these two can be saved." Ling Xi pushed Sun Zi away, "Let's finish what I wanted to say just now."

Zhu Zhiquan glanced at the hole above the tunnel and said, "I think we should move to a different location first."

The others thought about it and felt that Zhu Zhiquan's words made sense, so they walked toward their Tricycle.

Only Zhu Zhiquan took the Xuangang Spear and walked toward the two people wailing on the ground. Seeing Zhu Zhiquan approaching, the two on the ground hurriedly begged for mercy, "Big boss, spare us! Please give us the antidote! We can't stand the spiciness anymore~"

"Big..."

Puchi~

Puchi~

But the only response they got was the sound of the Xuangang Spear piercing through their bodies. Zhu Zhiquan expressionlessly withdrew his weapon and slowly returned to the Tricycle cabin.

"Green Leaf Burrowing Vine, dig this way!" Zhao Yuxin directed the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine from the driver's seat to dig in one direction, and the group followed behind the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine driving the Tricycle.

The Green Leaf Burrowing Vine received the order and quickly dug in one direction. It wasn't until they were about to dig into the seawater that Zhao Yuxin told the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to stop digging.

To ensure safety, Zhao Yuxin ordered the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to dig a fork in the tunnel behind them.

Ling Xi came to Zhao Yuxin's side and asked, "Is it safe here now?"

Zhao Yuxin patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, if there is any danger, I will tell you all immediately."

"That's good." Ling Xi continued with what she hadn't had time to say before, "Everyone, I think there is still room for maneuver here."

"Room for maneuver?" Zhao Yuxin was a bit confused when she heard Ling Xi's words, and Sun Zi was also completely bewildered.

Zhu Zhiquan didn't understand at first either, but after thinking about it briefly, he understood what Ling Xi meant by room for maneuver, only he didn't say it out loud.

Ling Xi continued, "Yes, think about it. Now that the Black Rope Bandit Group's main target has become us, who do you think benefits the most?"

"Of course it's the Black Rope Bandit Group, because this way they can achieve victory over the Player Group at the lowest cost." After Zhao Yuxin said her answer, she immediately had a sudden realization.

She then leaned over to Ling Xi and said, "I understand, Sister Ling Xi. You mean we can negotiate with the Black Rope Bandit Group. Not only will our pressure be reduced, but we can also find an opportunity to make a profit. Am I right, Sister Ling Xi?"

Ling Xi nodded with a smile. Only Sun Zi didn't understand. He leaned toward Ling Xi and asked, "Wife, I still don't understand why the Black Rope Bandit Group can be negotiated with?"

"Sister Ling Xi, let me explain it to your husband. You go ahead and negotiate with the Black Rope Bandit Group Regiment Leader," Zhao Yuxin said to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi nodded and then sent a private message to the Black Rope Bandit Group Regiment Leader, Ethan Hunt.

Before long, Ethan Hunt sent a reply, though his tone carried a hint of arrogance. "Oh~ isn't this Miss Ling Xi, who used to work under me? What wind made you think of contacting me? Have you felt my pressure?"

Seeing Ethan Hunt's attitude, Ling Xi did not intend to state her purpose directly, but rather to chat about some daily matters first and then slowly plot her course.

Seeing Ling Xi chatting with him about small daily matters, Ethan Hunt immediately became convinced that it was his wise decision that had made them start to submit, so he became even more overbearing.

His tone carried a hint of sexual harassment, which made Ling Xi feel very uncomfortable, so she simply closed the panel with a face full of resentment.

The three of them saw Ling Xi's attitude and knew the negotiation had collapsed. Sun Zi asked with concern, "Wife, what did he say?"

Ling Xi said angrily, "That guy is too arrogant and even sexually harassed me with his words. There's no way to talk properly!"

"What!" Hearing that his wife had been sexually harassed, Sun Zi was immediately furious.

Killing intent also flashed in Zhu Zhiquan's eyes. It just so happened that he also wanted to test the strength of the Black Rope Bandit Group Regiment Leader, so he suggested to the group, "How about we go find this Regiment Leader ourselves, beat him up, and then make him form an alliance with us."

Zhao Yuxin tugged on Zhu Zhiquan's arm and said, "Ajiu, this is a Player Group Regiment Leader! It's not that easy to deal with him, and besides, where are you going to find this damn Regiment Leader?"

Zhu Zhiquan's gaze became even colder, "It's simple, just find a tongue to ask. As for how to catch this Regiment Leader, as long as you trust me, just cooperate directly."

The other three looked at each other, then looked at Zhu Zhiquan's determined gaze, and they all chose to agree.

Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan waited for the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine to return, directed it to dig a tunnel upward, and then drove the Tricycle toward the surface. Although Sun Zi Fu Fu and Zhao Yuxin didn't understand what Zhu Zhiquan was doing, they still drove their Tricycle to follow.

After they reached the surface, they picked a direction for a Black Rope Bandit Group camp and drove. Soon, after arriving near a Black Rope Bandit Group camp, the four saw players from the Black Rope Bandit Group and the Black Mouth Bandit Group drinking in the camp.

Zhu Zhiquan said to the three, "Everyone, be careful to collect some mud and mix it with water, apply it to your faces to make some disguise, and then we will go directly into the camp to ask someone."

Zhao Yuxin lay on the rear window in shock and asked, "Ajiu, are you sure about this? We're going in to ask someone?"

Zhu Zhiquan nodded, "Alright, enough nonsense, let's put a little disguise on our faces before we go in."

The three couldn't say anything. They grabbed a handful of mud from the side of the road, mixed it with water, painted a makeup on their faces, and then entered the camp.
