Chapter 167: Thanks
Shen Mengting finally squinted at Qian Hao. It's just that there isn't much care in his eyes.
"Hey, I said Qian Hao! Please don't always have this slippery tone in the future!" Shen Mengting's mouth seemed to reveal a bloody breath, "Do you know? Not only are you not a little charming, but you are also very annoying!"
When Qian Hao heard this, he instantly leaned back and moved his body, as if an emotional current was hitting him, making him stunned.
After a long time, Qian Hao reacted, and he blinked dryly.
"Really, is it annoying?"
Shen Mengting immediately lowered her head, and her gaze was still so empty.
"Ah!" Qian Hao's shoulders sank rapidly, and he seemed to have fallen into an endless whirlpool, and his expression was sluggish for a long time.
Shen Mengting didn't want to say anything more when she saw this, she quickly came to Zhao Yu's side, "Okay! You've rested enough!
Zhao Yu's knee-supporting posture continued, he nodded weakly, and his panting sensation did not decrease by the slightest.
"Indeed, we should get out of here quickly!" Qian Hao touched his chin solemnly, looking like he was reasoning and contemplative, "It's not just running away!
After seeing Shen Mengting's puzzled face, Qian Hao spread his hands and added, "At present, we have more than one threat from the Fire Demon. It's just ahead......" Qian Hao pointed ahead, "Those assassins don't know what happened now?"
Hearing the word 'assassin', Shen Mengting instantly thought of something. She let out an 'ah' sound, and slapped the side of her thigh with one hand, "Yes, Jingwen is still in that person's hands!"
Everyone also entered a state of shock, maybe the threat of the fire demon just now was too great, and they all forgot why they came to this place.
"Just now...... The Assassins...... They all ran in front of me quickly!" Qian Hao was trying to recall the scenes of the past.
The speed of the assassins can be said to be very fast, and in just a few seconds, they surpassed Qian Hao, who was running at the forefront.
"That means ...... They're all ahead!" Shen Mengting glanced sharply ahead, and her footsteps were already moving. "Jingwen, Jingwen!" she seemed to shout as hard as she could.
"Hurry up, we need to catch up!" Qian Hao also commented, no longer concerned about his own injuries, but desperate to know the situation of his companion's mother.
"Go, go......" Shen Mengting sent the word 'go' multiple times in a row, and her movement to lift her pace was a little crisp, not dragging at all.
Zhao Yu saw that the two of them were so anxious, so he didn't care about resting. He straightened up, took a breath, and then stepped along.
Although she has not yet reached the style of running desperately to escape for her life, Shen Mengting's pace is still relatively fast. Her heart was extremely anxious, thinking about what Jiang Jingwen was doing now.
'Jingwen, don't you want to have an accident!If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your father!' Shen Mengting shook her arm anxiously.
Zhao Yu was already tired in the back, and he wanted to shout 'slow down', but when he thought that his companion's situation was still in danger, he shut up and obediently followed.
"Tell me...... What will that assassin do to Jiang Jingwen?" Qian Hao was firmly rooted next to Shen Mengting, and the two had been in the same position for a long time.
"I don't know!" Shen Mengting narrowed her eyes, "But I think it shouldn't be a dead hand! After all, that Chen Tianhao wants to take Jingwen as a hostage, so he can threaten us!"
"That's true, but ......"
"What's the matter? Qian Hao! If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Now that Shen Mengting has spoken, Qian Hao doesn't have to hide anything. He directly straightened his chest and said, "You also said that he took Jiang Jingwen as a hostage in order to threaten us." However, we have not been around for a long time. Since he can't threaten us, there's a good chance that he won't treat Jiang Jingwen well!"
"What? Qian Hao...... You mean, Jiang Jingwen is in danger now?" Shen Mengting glanced anxiously at Qian Hao's side. The messy pace caused her to slip and fall.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Qian Hao hurriedly made a push-hand movement, "Don't get excited yet. I'm just going to say what I think. Jiang Jingwen is in danger or not, and what is the current situation, she still needs to wait until she catches up with those assassins to really know!"
"But ......" Shen Mengting lowered her head slightly.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhao Yu felt a little ashamed. Because he knew very well that it was because of his incompetence that caused his partner to return. It was precisely because of the return that Shen Mengting and the others had no time to take care of Jiang Jingwen's safety.
"I'm sorry!" Zhao Yu repeated these three words softly.
"Anyway, we have to hurry up and catch up with those people now! And two foreigners!" Qian Hao calmly recalled the characteristics of those assassins.
"It doesn't matter if it's a 'person' or not, the key is Jingwen's safety!" Shen Mengting clenched her fists unconsciously as she spoke.
Looking at Shen Mengting's anxious appearance, Qian Hao didn't feel a good feeling in his heart. All he wanted was to catch up with the Assassins so that he could take the fate of his companions into his own hands.
"Qian Hao!"
Just when Qian Hao fell into deep thought, a soft call from Shen Mengting next to him made him wake up in an instant.
"Huh?," Qian Hao then turned his face to Shen Mengting.
Since the two were still running at a rapid pace, one of them would be slightly behind when he was not looking straight ahead. However, Qian Hao still reacted quickly and followed.
"Qian Hao!" Shen Mengting's face was a little strange. Her overall expression was half a little sad, while the other was a little firm, "Thank you very much!"
"Huh?" Qian Hao was a little puzzled, because he couldn't turn Shen Mengting's remarks into some truths that he wanted to express. To put it in layman's terms, he was a little confused about Shen Mengting's sudden words, "What's wrong with you, why did you suddenly say that you want to thank me!"
Shen Mengting lowered her eyelids slightly, "Because I just want to thank you." Actually, this meaning has been pressed in my heart for a long time! I have been telling you for a long time, but for some reason I don't want to speak! But now, I feel that I should say it completely, so that I can be worthy of your hard work!"
Qian Hao repeated the word 'oh' slightly, he twisted his head away, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment with one hand, "You want to thank me! But too much gratitude is not necessary, and there are many things that I should do. We are still in an employment relationship, and I have a life guarantee for you and your companions. With that, he pouted slightly.
Try to keep yourself serious on your face, and Qian Hao's breathing rhythm is also slowing down. Of course, he couldn't be happier in his heart at the moment. It's like a villain, dancing in his heart.
"No! Qian Hao! I thank you not only because you helped me just now, nor because you helped me before. It's ......" Shen Mengting seemed to be a little eager to say something. But soon, with a sudden acceleration of her blow, the words also slipped out of her throat, "Qian Hao! every time I feel hopeless, you will stand firmly by my side. This led me to the idea that as long as you were by my side, I wouldn't face the greatest despair. That's why I want to thank you!"
Hearing this, Qian Hao only felt that a fierce stick was knocked on his chest. He then let out a sigh of relief, and was forced to stop because of surprise. However, he reacted very quickly and chased after him again.
"Qian Hao!" When she was parallel to Shen Mengting again, this woman's mouth moved again, "Sometimes I am thinking about a problem. How lonely I would have felt without you all this way!"
For a moment, Qian Hao's heart felt as if it had been hit by a hot stream. He suddenly felt that he was having trouble breathing, and he began to gasp for air.
'If there is no you' and 'feel lonely', these points have taken root directly in Qian Hao's heart, and they can't be pulled out.
"You ......" Qian Hao seemed to want to respond to something, but he couldn't reveal his words because of his heart congestion. But after a few seconds or so, he laughed exaggeratedly. He smiled a little shyly, "Oh, you woman, why did you suddenly say such a thing, which made everyone a little embarrassed." ”
Qian Hao used his index finger to scratch the position of his nose and mouth. He had a smile on his face from top to bottom, which seemed to tell his current spring full face.
"Actually......"
He seemed to be about to say something. However, Shen Mengting's sudden forced stop caused him to hurriedly shut up.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Qian Hao followed Shen Mengting's line of sight in surprise and quickly looked ahead.
The sudden halt of the team in front also caused Zhao Yu not to stop his steps. He was already in a trance, and that was because he was too tired. He hit Shen Mengting's back in front of him.
"Don't be a tiger!" Shen Mengting tilted her lower face, and said accusatory.
Zhao Yu had to obediently lower his head and not say a word.
The three of them went from running quickly to suddenly stopping. There is only one reason for this, and that is what is happening ahead.
Jiang Jingwen stayed in place, she looked very anxious, her hands were clenched into fists, and her body was still twitching from being at a loss. It's just that there aren't half a person around her, which is a little puzzling.
Jiang Jingwen seemed to be looking at something, and she had to shake her downward to face the perspective from time to time, with a feeling of carefully capturing the surrounding area.
What the hell is she doing? Shen Mengting took a big gulp.
"Jingwen!" then shouted, and Shen Mengting took a step forward.
Jiang Jingwen heard someone calling her, so she quickly cast her gaze. When she met Shen Mengting's eyes, Jiang Jingwen let out an 'ah'.
"Sister Mengting, you ......" Jiang Jingwen took turns looking at the partners in front of her, including Zhao Yu who was hiding in the back.
"Jingwen, why are you standing here alone?" said Shen Mengting, who was about to rush forward.
But as soon as Shen Mengting took the first step, Jiang Jingwen anxiously pushed out her hands, "Don't! Sister Mengting! Don't come here, it's dangerous!"
Following Jiang Jingwen's prompt, Shen Mengting stopped and carefully touched the surroundings.
Jiang Jingwen at the moment is indeed a person, she is standing on the edge of a cliff. There was nothing around her.
But......
In the process of mentioning it, Shen Mengting quickly discovered the clues over there. It seems that there are a lot of air currents colliding around Jiang Jingwen. The speed of the air flow is so fast that it is not visible to the naked eye.
"What is that?" Shen Mengting frowned, she no longer looked intuitively with her eyes, but lowered her head and touched it with her heart.
It wasn't long before she seemed to notice something. To be exact, there should be three streams of air, and they collide with each other at an extremely rapid pace. No, it should be said that two currents of air are constantly attacking one of them.
Shen Mengting raised her head instantly, "Could it be ......" She raised her steps again and ran towards Jiang Jingwen's side.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Qian Hao yelled loudly from behind.
"Qian Hao, shoot your light arrows!" Shen Mengting raised the giant sword in her hand fiercely, "Those three assassins are around. They're standing around Jingwen!"
Hearing Shen Mengting's words, Qian Hao instantly understood something. I saw him gasp, and the longbow was unconsciously lifted by him, "Yes!" He immediately opened the bowstring, "Here they are, still ......"
'Still fighting each other'.
With Shen Mengting's reminder, the surrounding scene was already a little obvious. Even Zhao Yu could feel that the three air currents were constantly colliding.
"Ahh She herself also ran quickly towards Shen Mengting, "Sister Mengting!"
"Jingwen!
The two were about to meet. Who would have thought that a stream of air would fly over quickly. After the air flow opened the other two strands one after another, it came to Jiang Jingwen's surroundings in the next instant.
"Jingwen!" Shen Mengting suddenly felt bad, she had to forcibly freeze her body.
The incoming air first slid down Jiang Jingwen's legs, and then circled over her body. Soon after, the air flow spread to Jiang Jingwen's back.
"Jingwen!"
"Ahh
The air flow gradually changed into a human shape, and a thin sword quickly reached Jiang Jingwen's neck. That humanoid was none other than the assassin Chen Tianhao.
"Chen Tianhao, you ......" Shen Mengting's face straightened, and her face twitched uncontrollably.
At this moment, Chen Tianhao completely appeared, and he hid behind Jiang Jingwen, but the thin sword in his hand still fatally touched Jiang Jingwen's throat.
"Tsk...... Tut...... Tut...... Ah, what a pity!" Chen Tianhao had already stood firm, and he shook his head quickly, "You can't escape again!"
"Chen Tianhao!"
"Don't come here, otherwise......" Chen Tianhao glared at Shen Mengting sharply, and held Jiang Jingwen hostage and retreated, "I will kill him." ”
Seeing that Qian Hao in the distance was already pulling up the bowstring, Chen Tianhao grabbed Jiang Jingwen's head in the same way, "I said, I really know how to kill!"
Shen Mengting hurriedly turned her head, "Qian Hao!"
Qian Hao tightened his lips, and he turned his light arrow away, "You assassins...... Do you only play yin?"
When his hand was released, an arrow of light was fired. The trajectory of the light arrow was at the far end of Chen Tianhao, so he naturally wouldn't make any drastic moves towards Jiang Jingwen. On the contrary, he even grinned and bared his teeth. For he knew very well that the arrows of light were being directed at his enemies.
The speed of the arrow is very fast, and the direction is extremely clear. The direction it pointed at was an air flow that had just collided with Chen Tianhao.
The air flow stopped flowing, and it realized that the light arrow was coming. Then, the air flow retreated, and the light arrow stopped in front of the air current.
"Huh?" Qian Hao looked alert. He touched the longbow in his hand and straightened up again.
The light arrow hovered in the air for a moment, neither continuing to shoot forward, nor dropping. It's as if there's a force acting on the light arrows.
Obviously, the force acting on the light arrow was the air flow that Qian Hao was about to shoot just now.
Sure enough, the airflow showed the prototype. Just like Chen Tianhao just now, it slowly became a personal mentality. However, instead of becoming a human, it became a creature with a wolf's head in the shape of a human.
"Werewolf Clan Ozturk!" Shen Mengting habitually handed over the name.
Ozturk held a light arrow between his fingers, and smiled at Qian Hao.
"Heh, you seem to be very happy!" Qian Hao laughed toothily when he saw this.
"Of course! With just two fingers, he organized an attack by an archer. Honestly, I'm really happy!" Ozturk smiled defiantly.
At the same time, a current of air spread around him. The air flow felt like water vapor, but after spreading to a certain extent, it did not disappear strangely, and became a troll with teeth.
Kapil appeared behind Ozturk and pointed his sword at Qian Hao.
In this way, all three Assassins were revealed.
Shen Mengting sketched the scene of the airflow collision just now in her mind. Obviously, that was the effect of the three Assassins in battle. The Assassin read the Wind Walk, soaking up their speed. So Shen Mengting didn't see them at first.
"You ......" Shen Mengting slowly stepped back. She knew very well that the form had changed to the moment before the fire demon appeared, that is, the appearance of the confrontation between the three parties.
Ozturk was still leisurely revealing the pattern in his hand, "Hehehe......" He kept twisting his two fingers, and the light arrow that was caught in it also swung from side to side, "Your light arrow is really nothing more than that!
Qian Hao raised an eyebrow when he heard this, "Huh, easy, is that really the case?" he pointed at Ozturk with a calm face, "Say...... Your fingers are all right!"
After Qian Hao's reminder, Ozturk seemed to sense something. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he looked anxiously at his two fingers.
"Ahh
Corresponding to the cry, the inside of Ozturk's two fingers has taken on a charred appearance.
"Damn, you archer archer!" Ozturk looked furious, his face contorted.
But Qian Hao innocently spread his hands, "Hey, don't look at me like this, okay? Don't you know?" he smirked, "The arrows of light shot by the archers are hundreds of degrees Celsius!"
