Chapter 155: Despicable to the point of no bottom line
The 'squeak' sound emitted by the Shadow Demon was in the cave, although it was very clear that it was around, but there was nothing to do with it at the moment! Zhao Yu swallowed saliva into his throat.
His worries continued, if the Shadow Demon attacked him again, would he be able to save the day this time?
Zhao Yu trembled and shook his head again. He understood the urgency of the situation, and he clenched his staff, trying to surround his safety on his own.
The voice of the Shadow Demon appeared here and there. What is very clear is that it is constantly shaking, moving rapidly around people. It did so with one purpose, to disrupt the rhythm of the trio's defenses.
Shen Mengting was already a little upset, and her face was constantly adjusting with the sounds around her. But there will be a time when I can't keep up. No, the Shadow Demon roared to their left, and then suddenly sprang to the rear.
"Ahh But after this action, the sound of the shadow demon disappeared again.
After that, the Shadow Fiend made a movement above their heads.
"Damn!" Qian Hao couldn't help but roar after raising his head, "I was played around by this monster, and I couldn't find the point of the attack at all!"
"There's no way around it! Who called this its territory!"
Shen Mengting's words reminded Zhao Yu. This is the home of the Shadow Fiend, and it is the place where it has lived for many years. Therefore, it can use its surroundings to interfere with the enemies it is fighting against.
Also, the darkness of the cave has helped it, allowing it to threaten much more powerful humans with ease!
"It can't go on like this. If we let it run around again, our momentum will be gone!" Shen Mengting changed to a posture of holding a sword in both hands. Her idea was clear, and that was to deal with the monster quickly.
But the idea is there, but it's a bit difficult to actually do it. She hadn't figured out how to catch the enemy yet, and if she did, she would leave room for them to attack.
"Hurry up and find its behavior trajectory and win it with one blow!" Shen Mengting lowered her body.
But at this moment, the sound of the Shadow Demon changed, and it no longer acted in the posture that surrounded them. Its body seemed to be far away.
When Shen Mengting found out about this, she felt that this shadow demon was gradually moving away from them.
"What's the matter? Isn't this monster going to attack us?" said Chanho's hand pulling the bowstring was a little sore.
"Not only did it not attack us, it seems to be moving away!"
Listening to Shen Mengting's words, Qian Hao raised his eyebrows in an instant, and blurted out a question of 'what'.
Zhao Yu in the back was also so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, "So...... So...... It's ......"
Zhao Yu's questions didn't have time to be released, and Shen Mengting had already looked into the distance. She did this to find out where the Shadow Demon was moving.
The Shadow Demon is indeed moving away, and its movements are completely inscrutable.
The sound still spreads around the perimeter, sometimes it is lowered on the right, sometimes it is attached to the left. Shen Mengting's eyes flickered with the Shadow Demon's movements, and although she sometimes couldn't keep up, she could still feel most of them.
Soon, she seemed to realize the truth.
The Shadow Demon didn't seem to be about to sneak up on them, it made a noise around it, as if it was just making a maze array, thus confusing Shen Mengting and them.
So, what is the real purpose of this monster? Shen Mengting suddenly looked into the distance.
Soon, she saw the Shadow Demon's movements, as if she was gradually approaching Chen Tianhao.
"It's not good!" Shen Mengting immediately raised her sword and ran towards Chen Tianhao, "Qian Hao! its target is not us for a long time, but ......"
Halfway through the words, the Shadow Demon seemed to show its fangs. It let out the biggest roar to date, and then quickly appeared to Chen Tianhao's side.
"Jingwen!"
With Shen Mengting's roar, Jiang Jingwen raised her heart to her throat.
It was obvious that the Shadow Demon was about to attack Chen Tianhao. And Chen Tianhao is holding Jiang Jingwen hostage in his hands, which means that both of them are in danger.
"Oh no! I was deceived by this brute!" Qian Hao immediately pointed the longbow he was carrying towards Chen Tianhao.
Chen Tianhao's ears moved, and he was already aware of the impending threat. I saw that his eyes suddenly glanced at the oblique angle, and it happened to touch the sound released by the Shadow Demon.
"You want to attack me?" Chen Tianhao glared at the shadow to his left. He could foresee that the Shadow Fiend was in the shadows.
"Be careful!" Shen Mengting rushed there desperately.
The Shadow Demon is getting closer and closer to Chen Tianhao, causing Chen Tianhao to completely put his mind on defense. However, because he still holds hostages in his hands, his weapons are absolutely unavailable.
So, Chen Tianhao also stood in place, letting the shadow demon pounce.
"Dangerous!" Qian Hao immediately shot a light arrow.
The arrow of light sped towards the Shadow Demon. But just when everyone thought that the monster was going to be shot, there was an unexpected scene.
The Shadow Demon skillfully twisted his body, avoiding the arrows of light.
"What?" Qian Hao's body quickly lifted back, and his teeth clenched.
Danger! Zhao Yu was also about to shoot an ice arrow. But the power swirled in the palm of his hand, and quickly dissipated. He felt dizzy again, and fell to one knee.
"Ahh
"Jingwen! beware!" Shen Mengting continued to roar.
The Shadow Demon was already about to pounce on Chen Tianhao. But the strange thing is that Chen Tianhao didn't look like he wanted to dodge, he still stood calmly in place, and he didn't even move the thin sword in his hand.
Jiang Jingwen was already panicked, she wanted to run away, but because the thin sword in front of her neck was resisting, she didn't dare to act rashly.
Although she turned her head to look at Chen Tianhao, to show that danger was coming. But Chen Tianhao never paid attention to it.
"Ahh......h
"Don't move!" Chen Tianhao glared at Jiang Jingwen, who was being held hostage by him.
At this moment, the Shadow Demon's body emerged from a dim shadow, and the tentacles that adhered to its body shook violently, matching its already open mouth of blood. It seems that in the next second, Chen Tianhao and Jiang Jingwen will be devoured by that monster.
"Dangerous!" Zhao Yu stretched out his spell-casting arm, but there was nothing else on his palm except for the remaining mana.
The Shadow Demon was already about to pounce on Chen Tianhao, and it seemed that he was about to become the undead under the mouth of the monster.
But at that moment, or the moment the Shadow Demon bit Chen Tianhao, a sudden light shone out. Subsequently, a yellow comet-like object appeared in the cluster of lights.
The object was rapidly approaching the Shadow Demon.
"Shock wave?" Chen Tianhao's mouth moved slightly.
Sure enough, the shockwave struck the Shadow Demon, causing the monster to lose its balance completely. Its body was also smashed against the wall of the cave next to it.
There was a loud bang on the wall, and the Shadow Demon was smashed all over the wall. A few small debris fell, and the Shadow Demon smashed a large hole in the cave wall. Because its body was too much into the cave wall, it was frozen in the hole and did not fall.
And then there's the strange tranquility.
It seems that everyone here is not used to the sudden shift from emergency to safety. And they were all silent.
Until Shen Mengting slowly put down the giant sword in her hand, and after taking a deep breath, she inserted the sword into the scabbard behind her back.
In this way, the cave has the breath of a human again. The sound of everyone's breathing came as the times came.
Qian Hao's body sank rapidly, and the longbow he was holding was also put down, "Ahhh......hhhh
Jiang Jingwen was still a little dazed at the moment, no wonder, she was also directly facing the threat of monsters just now. After slowly regaining her thoughts, she stroked her chest with her hand.
In comparison, Chen Tianhao is much calmer. The thin sword in his hand was still raised, and even then he had no intention of putting it down. He just firmly controlled Jiang Jingwen and threatened Shen Mengting and them.
Finally...... It's finally over! Zhao Yu finally regained his breathing, but because of the urgency of the form, his chest was holding his breath.
"That's right! Sure enough, it's not a loss to the swordsman I fancied!" Chen Tianhao spoke after a short time. His first sentence seemed to be a compliment to someone.
But I can feel that behind this praise, there is a provocative meaning in it.
Shen Mengting breathed a long sigh of relief, she was pleased that she had acted quickly. If only she had sent out a shockwave later, and not strong enough for the monster to dodge. It is estimated that Chen Tianhao and Jiang Jingwen will be in danger.
However, Shen Mengting still had a breath in her heart, and after she handed over her breath in a big gulp, she strode towards Chen Tianhao's side.
Even Zhao Yu could see that Shen Mengting's appearance was quite angry.
Seeing Shen Mengting walking towards him, Chen Tianhao tilted his neck and quickly closed his eyes.
Shen Mengting's footsteps were quite loud, and the echo of walking echoed in the cave.
"I said you're really interesting!" Shen Mengting shook her arms violently.
The torches planted in the ground lit with firelight, and the light they emitted also completely projected Shen Mengting's posture of teeth and claws onto the cave wall.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Chen Tianhao shrugged disapprehantly.
"Are you embarrassed to say?" Shen Mengting stood not far in front of Chen Tianhao, her feet were also stomping towards the ground, "You were really good enough just now!"
"So what's wrong? How can I?" Chen Tianhao smiled at Shen Mengting defiantly.
"I ask you, why didn't you hide just now?" Shen Mengting excitedly pointed at the Shadow Demon Finger, which had now turned into a corpse and was firmly embedded in the cave wall, "Why did you still stand stunned when the Shadow Demon pounced on you? Can't you dodge? Don't tell you that you will be afraid! It is impossible for an assassin to face this situation, and he can't react!"
Chen Tianhao deliberately looked away, "I don't understand what you're talking about? The form is so dangerous just now, must it be useful for me to dodge?"
"Don't fool me, do you want to prevaricate by being too frightened to move? I tell you, I can see very clearly, you are not frightened at all. On the contrary, you're calm, but why don't you stay away?"
"You ask me this question, how should I answer it?" Chen Tianhao's gaze wandered, sometimes looking here, sometimes looking there, "The key is that the crisis has passed?"
"Yes! But that was also passed in a thrilling way. If I slower it by a beat and a half, or the shock wave released is not strong enough. Aren't you going to be bitten by the Shadow Fiend?"
"Ahh
"Not caring about you. It doesn't matter if you bite me. But the key is her!" Shen Mengting pointed at Jiang Jingwen angrily, "Jingwen is in your hands." If something happens to you, Jingwen will never be injured. So...... Are you embarrassed that your behavior almost caused my friend to be unlucky?"
Chen Tianhao was silent. But soon, he fixed his eyes firmly on Shen Mengting, "Don't be so excited! The reason why I don't avoid it is because I trust you?"
"Huh, what are you going to put in the quibble again?"
"No matter what threat I faced. But I still believe in you. I think that even if I get threatened again, I can keep my life safe. Because...... Isn't there a powerful swordsman and archer here, and as long as you two are here, I won't be afraid of being attacked!"
"What you say is quite nice!" Qian Hao walked a few steps towards Chen Tianhao.
"You listen to his nonsense!" Shen Mengting couldn't help but yell, "I think he just can't let go of Jingwen." If he is so frightened that he moves, or chooses to return fire to the Shadow Demon. Then he had to free up his weapon. So he's afraid of giving up the chance to threaten us, so he'll let the Shadow Demon attack!"
Qian Hao blinked after hearing this, he felt that Shen Mengting was also reasonable.
But Chen Tianhao twitched the corners of his mouth, "Honestly, madam!
"What? Am I wrong?"
"But why don't you want to think about it, wouldn't I lose my life if it were as you say?"
"How can you joke with your own life! You already wanted it!" Shen Mengting raised her head into a fist and mentioned it to herself. There were already a lot of green tendons on the back of her hand, which showed how tightly she clenched, "If the Shadow Demon is about to bite you." You're going to push Jingwen out of your hand, right? You really don't want to give up the Jingwen in your hand, but if things are in danger of your life, you won't hesitate to push the hostage out of your hand. When the time comes, it's Jingwen who will be bitten, not you!"
Chen Tianhao's face quickly fell, and his two eyes were still shaking violently in his sockets. After a long time, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Your imagination is still so rich!"
"How?
"Say whatever you want, but everything is just your reverie, you can say whatever you want!"
"It's obviously the reality in front of you, do you still want to admit it?" Shen Mengting's fist raised in front of her finally put it down. However, she stepped aside and slammed it against the cave wall, "If you want to continue to quibble, I can't help it." But there is one thing that everyone knows. ”
Shen Mengting gritted her teeth and walked back and forth not far in front of Chen Tianhao.
"With the strength of a high-level assassin like you, it is absolutely impossible to face a shadow demon and be too frightened to move. Since you don't care about the Shadow Fiend coming at you at all. Then there is only one answer, that is, you have already thought of a countermeasure!" Shen Mengting stopped, her body twisted towards Chen Tianhao's side, "When a monster pounced, he didn't think about dodging or counterattacking." The answer is also very obvious, you will throw the hostage in your hands. ”
"Chen Tianhao!right! Your name is Chen Tianhao!" Shen Mengting glared at Chen Tianhao viciously, "You are too despicable! You have disregarded the lives of my companions for your own interests." What a despicable person you are! Now, I have to think hard about whether I really want to continue to work for you!"
When Chen Tianhao heard this, he grabbed Jiang Jingwen's arm, and his sudden pull made Jiang Jingwen shout.
"Hey, what are you doing......" Shen Mengting shouted excitedly when she saw this. She also held out an arm, as if to dissuade her.
"What's the use of saying so much, no matter how much you think, you won't change the fact that your companion is now in my hands. Even if you accuse and dictate again, you don't want to do things for me. But the reality is, you have to serve me, or your companions will be in danger!"
Chen Tianhao's volume increased, and he also raised his left hand and raised Jiang Jingwen's head. In this way, Jiang Jingwen's neck was directly exposed to the edge of the sword below.
"You ......"
"I've made it clear, I'm just going to let you do things for me! I know my actions are a bit despicable, but it's normal to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. So...... Don't accuse me of anything, let alone think that I don't dare to do anything to your companion!" Chen Tianhao lowered his eyelids, "After all, your companion is still being held hostage by me. So don't think we're really partners. I'm here to save face. Otherwise, I will now say that you are my slaves and must do things for me, and you have nothing to do!"
Shen Mengting listened to this, and the anger in her heart was about to explode completely, "You...... You ......"
"What? Do you want to emphasize my meanness again? Or do you want to talk about things like, 'This doctor saved me, and I don't deserve revenge?' I tell you, I won't listen. ”
"You ......"
"I see that you know each other, so let's keep hurrying and help me find the treasure!"
"You ......" Shen Mengting seemed to be in the most angry state, her face was about to reveal slender veins, "I thought you were just despicable, and you would do something bad to achieve your goals." But I didn't expect you to be so bottomless. How can we say that we have no grievances with you? Why do you not even care about our lives? Don't you have the slightest conscience?"
When Chen Tianhao heard the word 'conscience', he couldn't help but laugh miserably.
