Chapter 99: Zhao Yuxin is Trapped

"Go Yihao, go Yihao..." Zhao Yuxin cheered on the Durian Warrior from the side, attempting to overwhelm Ma Weidong with sheer momentum.

Ma Weidong, however, found himself in a bind when facing the Durian Warrior, who was encased from head to toe in spiked armor; he truly couldn't cut through the thing. Plus, with those sharp spikes on its body, he felt utterly stifled.

But he soon discovered that Zhao Yuxin was only shouting cheers from start to finish, and the Durian Warrior was lacking in speed and agility, so Ma Weidong changed his strategy; after dodging an attack from the Durian Warrior, he turned and charged toward Zhao Yuxin.

Seeing Ma Weidong charging at her, Zhao Yuxin was terrified, her face pale as she hurriedly ran out the door, cursing, "Hey! Do you have any martial virtue? Don't you know you can't hit the audience?"

Ma Weidong did not answer, simply pulling out his Magnum Pistol in silence to prepare to kill her.

"Ajiu, save me! Ajiu~ wuwu~" Zhao Yuxin cried out for Zhu Zhiquan in fear, and just as Ma Weidong fired, a figure rushed into the room and pulled Zhao Yuxin away.

Clang~

The bullet struck the Special Combat Suit on Zhu Zhiquan; the powerful kinetic energy was blocked by the suit and did not cause much damage to Zhu Zhiquan.

"Ajiu! Ajiu, are you okay!" Seeing Zhu Zhiquan hit by the bullet, Zhao Yuxin ran over, worried.

Zhu Zhiquan shielded Zhao Yuxin behind him, staring fixedly at Ma Weidong. Seeing that his attack had no effect, Ma Weidong hurriedly rolled away to put distance between himself and the Durian Warrior behind him, then quickly emptied his magazine at it.

Although the armor on the Durian Warrior could not stop the bullets, fortunately, not a single bullet hit its Core, so the two sides began a chase within the room.

Seeing that the Durian Warrior could never keep up with Ma Weidong's speed, Zhu Zhiquan loaded a Multi-functional Crossbow Bolt into his Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow and adjusted it to Tracking Mode.

He then fired it at Ma Weidong, but surprisingly, Ma Weidong was actually able to dodge the shot; unfortunately, it was a Tracking Arrow Zhu Zhiquan had fired, and Ma Weidong was caught off guard and struck by the bolt.

Before Ma Weidong could react, the Durian Warrior had already caught up and slashed his throat with a blade.

When Ma Weidong regained consciousness, he found himself already hanging on the Execution Platform, with only Zhao Yuxin and the Durian Warrior nearby.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin was examining his backpack, while the Durian Warrior stood to the side, looking around vigilantly. Beside Zhao Yuxin was a Flowerpot containing a strange plant of unknown purpose.

This plant was none other than the Xunfeng Pea Shooter, which Zhao Yuxin had crafted while he was unconscious.

Zhu Zhiquan was not here at the moment; he was likely off catching other Survivors.

Zhao Yuxin noticed Ma Weidong had woken up, took an apple from her backpack, held it to his mouth, and said, "Want a bite?"

"Ptooey!" Ma Weidong spat at Zhao Yuxin. Zhao Yuxin immediately took out paper to wipe it off, looking aggrieved: "Why are you doing that? I was kind enough to offer you an apple; you can't treat people like this!"

Ma Weidong did not answer, simply waiting silently for the countdown to end. Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Zhao Yuxin began to talk to herself.

At this moment, some movement occurred outside the room. Zhao Yuxin immediately hid behind the Durian Warrior, clutching the potted plant in her hands. But after waiting for a while, she found there was no further movement outside the door, which made Zhao Yuxin even more nervous.

"Strange? Why didn't my Bat Wing Ear detect any movement? Yihao, let's go take a look." After saying this, Zhao Yuxin hid behind the Durian Warrior and slowly approached the door, at which point a head poked out from the wall behind them.

Ma Weidong became excited the moment he saw the person, for the one who had arrived was none other than Geerfu Batuo.

At this time, Geerfu Batuo was floating in the air, flying silently like a ghost to Ma Weidong's side to rescue him.

After being rescued, Ma Weidong nodded at Geerfu Batuo. Geerfu Batuo nodded in response and then slowly drifted toward Zhao Yuxin, while Ma Weidong picked up his backpack to check the status of his weapons.

Just as Geerfu Batuo approached Zhao Yuxin, her ears twitched; hearing someone's breathing behind her, she immediately turned around and commanded the Xunfeng Pea Shooter to fire.

Whoosh~

An Arrow infused with immense energy struck Ma Weidong's shoulder, leaving a fist-sized hole in it. Ma Weidong's arm went limp, and drops of fresh blood fell to the ground.

At the same time, Zhao Yuxin and Geerfu Batuo locked eyes. Geerfu Batuo realized he had been exposed and immediately flew toward Zhao Yuxin, intending to kill her.

Zhao Yuxin discovered that her Bat Wing Ear could not sense Geerfu Batuo, so she retreated from the room, leaving the Durian Warrior to block him.

But when the Durian Warrior swung the Wave Energy Scimitar to strike Geerfu Batuo, the scimitar passed through Geerfu Batuo's body as if it were air.

Geerfu Batuo then passed through the Durian Warrior's body and flew toward Zhao Yuxin.

Seeing that the Durian Warrior could not stop Geerfu Batuo, Zhao Yuxin swallowed hard, set down the Xunfeng Pea Shooter, and turned to run.

Geerfu Batuo glanced at the watch on his hand and muttered, "Might be too late." As he spoke, his flight speed increased, and he accelerated toward Zhao Yuxin.

After being set down, the Xunfeng Pea Shooter fired at Geerfu Batuo, but its attacks, like the Durian Warrior's, could not cause any damage to Geerfu Batuo.

"Ajiu~ Ajiu, save me!" Zhao Yuxin sprinted down the corridor while sending a message to Zhu Zhiquan.

Just as Geerfu Batuo was about to catch up to Zhao Yuxin, Geerfu Batuo suddenly dropped from the air, and at the same time, Zhao Yuxin discovered she could use her Bat Wing Ear to detect Geerfu Batuo's position.

Zhao Yuxin tentatively took a pear from her backpack and threw it. Caught off guard, Geerfu Batuo was struck in the face by the pear; thinking it was some hidden weapon, he clutched his face and retreated repeatedly.

But upon realizing it was just a pear, he felt mocked and immediately gritted his teeth, his body trembling.

Geerfu Batuo then spat out a cloud of ice mist from his mouth. Zhao Yuxin could not dodge in time and was frozen on the spot, with only her head left exposed.

After subduing Zhao Yuxin, Geerfu Batuo drew the long sword at his waist. The Xunfeng Pea Shooter fired an arrow at Geerfu Batuo, but it was easily dodged by him.

Looking at Zhao Yuxin, who was trapped in the ice, Geerfu Batuo looked back at the Xunfeng Pea Shooter. At this moment, the Xunfeng Pea Shooter fired another arrow, but it was still easily dodged by Geerfu Batuo.

After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, Geerfu Batuo decided to kill the Xunfeng Pea Shooter first, then kill Zhao Yuxin.

Geerfu Batuo then took advantage of the gap in the Xunfeng Pea Shooter's attacks to leap in front of it and slash down with his sword. Just as Geerfu Batuo's long sword was about to land on the Xunfeng Pea Shooter, an arm covered in spikes blocked the strike.

Geerfu Batuo looked up and discovered that the one who had blocked the sword was none other than the Durian Warrior.

After helping the Xunfeng Pea Shooter block the attack, the Durian Warrior swung the Wave Energy Scimitar in its hand at Geerfu Batuo. Geerfu Batuo dodged one strike and retreated repeatedly, while the Durian Warrior pressed forward step by step.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin struggled with all her might, finally creating a tiny crack on the surface of the ice.

Just as Zhao Yuxin was filled with hope, Geerfu Batuo suddenly bypassed the Durian Warrior's defense and successfully held his sword to her throat.

The Durian Warrior and the Xunfeng Pea Shooter were instantly stunned, not knowing what to do. Ma Weidong, who had just arrived, aimed his Magnum Pistol at Zhao Yuxin, but seeing that Geerfu Batuo had gained control of the situation, he did not waste any bullets.
