Chapter 89: Escaping the Monster Pursuit

Those five centaurs rapidly approached Zhu Zhiquan and the others' tricycle, and the Xunfeng Pea Shooter on the tricycle took the lead in attacking the centaurs.

The five centaurs dodged the attacks by relying on agile footwork, while simultaneously opening their mouths to condense fireballs for a counterattack.

Boom, boom, boom—

A large number of fireballs hit the tricycle, but because there was a Guardian Goddess Statue, the tricycle did not suffer any major harm.

"Baobao, watch out and dodge!" Zhao Yuxin shouted to the Ice Cream Cactus in the driver's seat.

"Hmm~" the Ice Cream Cactus responded, then drove the tricycle to continuously dodge the centaurs' fireballs.

These centaurs were very fast; a few minutes later they entered the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter's firing range, but the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter's rate of fire was so fast that the centaurs could not dodge all of them.

In just a short three or four seconds, two of the five centaurs died. The remaining three centaurs suddenly let out a roar, then the flames on their bodies suddenly became more vigorous, and immediately after, they were enveloped by flames.

When the flames dissipated, the three centaurs were covered in a layer of Lava Armor, and when the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter's Arrow hit them, these armors just happened to block the incoming Arrow.

Even the Xunfeng Pea Shooter's attacks only stuck into the armor without causing much damage; the three centaurs thought the other side had no more tricks, so they covered their faces with their hands and charged up while enduring the attacks.

After they approached to within about forty meters of the tricycle, the Sea-Buckthorn Bomb Thrower threw its own fruit, which landed at their feet.

Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, and the three centaurs were blown onto the stone wall, after which they fell heavily to the ground.

The Ice Cream Cactus slammed on the accelerator, and the tricycle had already dashed a hundred meters away by the time the three centaurs landed.

After landing, the three centaurs quickly climbed up and continued to charge at them; at this moment, the two of them clearly saw that the powerful impact mixed with fruit pits had blasted fine cracks into the armor on the centaurs' bodies.

Zhao Yuxin was shocked to see that these centaurs were actually fine, "No way! Is this monster's armor that strong? Even this couldn't blow them to death!"

Zhu Zhiquan, on the other hand, was full of excitement, starting to loosen his muscles and bones, and preparing for battle.

This time, the three centaurs became much more cautious and did not choose to take the attacks head-on again.

A large number of Arrow were dodged by the three centaurs, but this time all the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters fired simultaneously; the dense attacks made it difficult for the centaurs to dodge everything in the passage, hitting the armor and making ping-pong sounds.

Zhao Yuxin looked at Zhu Zhiquan and asked: "Ajiu, can the Xunfeng Pea Shooter perform a charged attack?"

Zhu Zhiquan frowned and said: "I haven't tried whether the Xunfeng Pea Shooter can perform a charged attack."

Zhao Yuxin took out a pen and a notebook, then said: "Alright then, I'll order them to try."

After Zhao Yuxin gave the order, the Xunfeng Pea Shooters that were firing tilted their heads, each using brainwaves to ask Zhao Yuxin what a charged attack was.

After Zhao Yuxin received the brainwaves, she nodded gently and wrote a record in the notebook.

During Zhao Yuxin's recording, the centaurs slowed down and spat out fireballs to attack the tricycle; the Ice Cream Cactus saw the centaurs spitting fireballs again in the rearview mirror and immediately performed a serpentine maneuver to try to dodge the centaurs' attacks.

In this volcanic underground passage, the sounds of explosions and plant shooting were constant, and the interior of the passage also became riddled with holes.

Gradually, the three centaurs entered the tricycle's forty-meter range again; seeing the Sea-Buckthorn Bomb Thrower start to throw fruit, the three centaurs immediately scattered, trying to avoid the damage from the fruit.

But because the passage was too narrow, the three centaurs really had no room to dodge, and were eventually swallowed by the explosions.

"Congratulations on defeating the third wave of pursuing monsters. Now you are about to face the final wave of monster pursuit, which will descend in one minute. Please be prepared."

Hearing the Game System prompt, cold sweat kept streaming down Zhao Yuxin's body. Zhu Zhiquan's body trembled continuously, and a look of excitement was on his face.

After half a minute, Zhao Yuxin pressed against Zhu Zhiquan and said: "Ajiu, are you afraid? The next wave of monsters might be even more powerful."

Zhu Zhiquan: "Excited and panicked, I suppose. But you're pressing against me—are you the one who's afraid?"

"Who says I'm afraid! I'm telling you, let me get off the tricycle and fight the monsters next wave, I guarantee I'll have them in the palm of my hand!" Zhao Yuxin suddenly raised her volume, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Just then, a white light shone a hundred meters behind the tricycle, and after the white light dissipated, five bloated monsters appeared in their field of vision.

The two looked closely and discovered that these five monsters were about two meters tall, their torsos like a worm; each monster occupied the passage completely, and it was estimated that only those with a good figure could squeeze through the gaps, yet their heads were huge flowers.

As soon as the five monsters appeared, the Xunfeng Pea Shooters immediately fired, but after the Arrow pierced through these monsters, they scattered a large amount of acid, which hissed when it landed on the ground.

The next second, the wounds pierced by the Arrow gradually Yùhé, and soon not a single wound could be seen.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin kept shouting for the Ice Cream Cactus to accelerate, but the tricycle had already reached its top speed; no matter how much the accelerator was pressed, it was the same.

At this time, the five monsters immediately became ferocious after being attacked, their flower buds opening to reveal the sharp teeth and slender tongues inside as they chased toward the tricycle.

Don't look at the bloated size of these five monsters; their speed was not slow at all. The five monsters used long tail flames sprayed from their rear to propel their bodies, but because they were too bloated, they did not catch up immediately.

The two estimated that the speed of the five monsters was only a little faster than their tricycle, which gave them a sliver of confidence.

Zhao Yuxin immediately ran to the Guardian Goddess Statue to pray, "Noble Guardian Goddess, I hope you can give a little more energy this time, and I hope those five monsters don't have any long-range attack methods."

After the prayer, the Game System prompt told her that she had obtained four hundred energy this time; Zhao Yuxin was just about to mutter to herself when the tricycle suddenly shook violently.

"What happened?" Zhao Yuxin looked at the five monsters and discovered that the monster in the very front had something like a fruit pit in its flower bud, and just the exposed part was as big as a fist.

Zhao Yuxin looked in the direction of the plants and found that some plants placed on the edge of the tricycle had obvious wounds.

Just as Zhao Yuxin came to Zhu Zhiquan's side to ask, the monster in the front spat out the fruit pit, which was the size of a head.

Even though the Ice Cream Cactus drove the tricycle to dodge the fruit pit's attack in time, the acid scattered after the fruit pit landed corroded some of the plants.

As for the tricycle, if it weren't for the protection of the Guardian Goddess Statue, it would probably have been corroded as well.

"Drive steadily!" Zhu Zhiquan suddenly spoke, loaded a Multi-functional Crossbow Bolt onto the Xunfeng Crossbow, and adjusted it to demolition mode.

The Ice Cream Cactus gripped the handlebars tightly, doing its best to ensure the tricycle drove steadily.

At this time, the monster in the front spat out another fruit pit from its flower bud. Just as the fruit pit revealed a fist-sized portion, Zhu Zhiquan immediately fired the Crossbow Bolt, and the Crossbow Bolt hit the fruit, causing an explosion.

After the explosion, the monster's blood sprayed everywhere, and traces of corrosion appeared wherever the blood landed; at the same time, the bombed monster's corpse did not fall, but instead kept growing granulation tissue.

Zhu Zhiquan was quick-eyed and fast-handed, firing a demolition Crossbow Bolt above the monsters; the next second, a large amount of earth and stone collapsed, pinning the five monsters underneath.

The Ice Cream Cactus drove the tricycle at top speed to escape the monsters' detection range.
