Chapter 98: Crisis hits
"Let's go, get me fast in and find it. “
With Shen Mengting's order, Zhao Yu didn't dare to slack off and rushed into the room. Both of them began their search, and both were eager to turn the contents of the room throughout.
Shen Mengting was eager to see the shadow of the frost source staff, because if it was not found in the hotel, it would prove that the staff was not left naturally, but was stolen by others.
If someone else steals it, it's very difficult to find. They also didn't have time to stay in Fukui Town and connect with the thieves who sold the stolen goods in order to find the staff.
Therefore, the result must be that Zhao Yu carelessly lost his staff, which is the best result.
Shen Mengting searched on the bed and in the corner of the cabinet, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find any sign of the staff. In fact, the fact that the staff was not seen when it first stepped into the room already means that it is unlikely to have been left in the room. Because Zhao Yu won't be full of food, hide the staff!
After still finding nothing, Shen Mengting was about to give up.
Zhao Yu also walked out of the bathroom with his head down, and it seemed that he had not found the staff there either.
"It doesn't look like the staff has been left here. Shen Mengting squeezed the key tightly, she didn't want to scold Zhao Yu anymore, so she shook her head towards the door, "Let's go, go to the public toilet in the hall to find it." ”
Shen Mengting also knew that the chance of finding the staff over there was very small, because even if Zhao Yu really left the staff there, it would be picked up by others. But the situation has already become like this, so we have to try to find it.
The two of them walked to the door.
However, just as he was about to walk out of room 408, Zhao Yu inadvertently turned around, which made the whole thing change.
"Wait!" Zhao Yu stayed at the door, only half of his body leaned out of the corridor.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mengting, who was already in the corridor, turned her head in annoyance.
"That ......," Zhao Yu pointed into the room. But soon, he rushed through the door.
"What the hell is going on?" Shen Mengting followed back to the room in surprise.
The room that Zhao Yu rushed to was the single bed. He walked to the bedside, and then he bent down and fell to his knees. Not only that, but he looked under the bed, as if trying to get something from below.
"Zhao Yu, what's wrong?" Following Zhao Yu's movements, Shen Mengting saw something peeking out under the bed, she squinted her eyes and found that it seemed to be a cylindrical object.
In an instant, Shen Mengting's eyes enlarged: "Ah! this ......"
Zhao Yu pulled out the 'thing' from under the bed. It was clear that it was the Frost Source Staff.
"Ah! the staff has been found. Zhao Yu clasped the staff with both hands, and lit up at Shen Mengting's side, "See? ”
Zhao Yu was about to cry, and he put his staff to his mouth and kissed it lovingly.
Shen Mengting was a little surprised at first. But gradually, she looked almost speechless. "Hey, I said Zhao Yu, why did you hide the staff under the bed!"
Zhao Yu was suddenly a little petrified, he froze his body, and slowly put down the two hands that lifted the staff, "Hungry...... This ......"
Anyway, he didn't know how the staff came under the bed. He scratched his head with one hand, trying to remember the scene from last night.
"Ahh I couldn't sleep last night, and I thought the staff was too much of an eyesore to be around, so I tucked it under the bed. ”
Zhao Yu did this, he only felt that the energy exuded from the staff made him irritable, so he decided to take the staff away. But he was sleeping on the bed at the time, and he didn't bother to move, so he stuffed his staff under the bed. After all, because there is a base cloth on the side of the bed, it just covers the bottom of the bed.
Moreover, since he had woken up in the morning, he was still groggy and had not thought much about the staff. So, naturally, the staff was forgotten in the room.
Regarding Zhao Yu's move, Shen Mengting shook her head again and again, "Zhao Yu, it's very dangerous for you to do this." In the world of Celros, you have to hold weapons from time to time, and you give them up because you can't sleep, that's really ......"
Zhao Yu scratched his cheek embarrassedly, "Okay, I know it's wrong." If you want to teach you anything, let's wait until you leave Fukui Town!"
Shen Mengting thought about it and felt that there was some truth, she held her lips tightly, and then raised her hand and pointed to the door, "Then let's go!
Zhao Hui replied with an 'oh' and was about to leave.
It can be said that the atmosphere is still quite cheerful now, and I thought that the staff would have a high chance of being lost, but it was just forgotten under the bed. Shen Mengting was not only dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's carelessness, but also because of the joy of finding a staff. At the very least, they don't have to worry about the Frost Scepter anymore.
"I'm sorry, it's because of me that you want to be in this town again. Before Zhao Yu was about to take a step, he still apologized to Shen Mengting.
"Don't say anything more, don't you wait until you get out of the town to talk about it!" Shen Mengting muttered to Zhao Yu, "But you still have to keep this matter in mind for me, and don't have any more things like losing weapons that are equivalent to being mentally retarded." ”
Of course, Shen Mengting still owes more to Qian Hao in her heart. Before, she also thought that the staff might have been stolen by Qian Hao. Now that I think about it, it was really because I was too irritable that I wronged people indiscriminately.
Shen Mengting sighed in a low voice, and she also touched the tip of her nose. It seems that after leaving Fujing Town, in addition to reprimanding Zhao Yu for a few big words, he will also vaguely express some apologies to Qian Hao.
With a relaxed step, the two of them officially walked towards the door of the room. However, just as they were about to approach the door, a figure came out directly from the edge of the door frame.
The man didn't say anything, and shrugged himself in front of the door.
Shen Mengting and Zhao Yu also stopped. The two first looked at the person who came out, and then looked at each other.
"Who?" Zhao Yu puffed out into a balloon and tilted his head.
The man didn't respond, just stood in the doorway with a blank face.
Shen Mengting clenched the key in her hand, "Maybe it's the tenant after that!"
It turned out that the owner did not lie, and this room 408 had indeed been rented to someone else. Shen Mengting didn't want to cause trouble, she took a few steps forward and said in a more polite tone: "Hello, I'm sorry." We were travelers who rented this house yesterday. But because something was missing, I rushed in to look for it. Excuse me, are you an existing occupant of this room?"
After Shen Mengting asked, she exhaled deeply. It would be nice if the other party didn't say anything, but if she refused to forgive, she would also take out gold coins to show comfort.
However, the man didn't say a word, he just stood at the door, completely unable to understand what he wanted to do?
"Hungry! what's wrong?" Zhao Yu poked his temple with his staff. For some reason, he always felt that the person blocking the door seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Zhao Yu sped up the action of poking his temples, and his eyes narrowed. His action caused the man to twist his neck and look deeply. The man's gaze fell directly on the staff in Zhao Yu's hand, looking a little frightening.
Helplessly, Zhao Yu stopped moving his staff, he swallowed his saliva, and looked at Shen Mengting next to him somehow.
Shen Mengting couldn't help but take a closer look at the person standing at the door - he was about twenty-seven or eight years old, more than 1.85 meters tall, and his body was unusually erect. His chest muscles seemed to be very developed, and even if he was covered by clothing, he could be clearly seen. And the most eye-catching appearance for him is his angular face.
Shen Mengting gasped for this, and she immediately recognized that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person. She glanced at the right side of the man's neck, and saw that the hilt of the sword was also exposed.
Are you a swordsman?Shen Mengting's eyes widened. The other party's sturdy body, as well as the huge hilt of the sword behind it, gave people a sense of strength.
Shen Mengting instantly tensed her body, and she also paid attention to the giant sword behind her back.
"Hello!" Shen Mengting looked at the mysterious man vigilantly, "May I ask ...... you are?"
"You are Shen Mengting!"
The mystery man finally spoke. However, his first sentence made Shen Mengting and Zhao Yu stand upside down.
"You...... You ......" Shen Mengting only felt that someone was knotted in her throat.
The man smiled wickedly: "You've made us so miserable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man backhanded the sword behind him.
"Zhao Yu, be careful. ”
said that it was too late, and at the moment when the other party pulled out the sword, Shen Mengting pushed Zhao Yu next to him away with all his might. Then, the strong man hid in the direction of Shen Mengting, and came to the heavy slash.
The light shone throughout the room, and before the enemy's moves could attack, Shen Mengting felt bursts of sword qi in her face, and she shook her head incredulously.
This force, this ......
She didn't think about it for long, and a blade of light like a scimitar came straight at her. She gripped the hilt of the greatsword behind her backhand, but now she had lost the chance to draw her sword to defend herself. Helpless, she quickly jumped to the side.
The blade of light was dodged by her, hitting the single bed behind her. In an instant, the bed was split in half, and with a terrible boom, the blade continued to slam against the walls of the room. After that, the wall was also torn open, and the whole thing was a large crack.
For a moment, flying debris fluttered violently in the room.
The man's random flick of the sword actually made such a terrifying power. Shen Mengting quickly recognized that the man's swordsman level might be above the expert level.
Shen Mengting, who fell to the ground, looked at the man, "You...... Who the hell are you?"
The man laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha...... You're still asking who I am? You've probably forgotten who you're hiding from in the east of Saran, right?"
Shen Mengting suddenly came to her senses, she first straightened up her upper body on her knees, and after looking up at the man, her eyes suddenly widened: "You...... Are you the group of Sauron chasers who killed Uncle Yang Jiening?"
"What...... What?Sauron's pursuers?" Zhao Yu, who had just been pushed against the wall and was still a little dizzy, opened his mouth wide at the man in surprise.
At this moment, Zhao Yu also remembered that he had indeed met that man. It was in the woods outside of Vortex Town, where he had a brief chance encounter with the Sauronian.
"Yes, I'm a Sauron. My name is Lu Lei!" The man called out his name loudly, and he spread his hands, as if the heavy sword in his hand did not burden his arm at all, "Hahahaha......" Then, he burst out laughing maniacally.
Shen Mengting slowly stood up, she forced herself not to have any sense of fear, because it would affect the sword qi she used, "You...... You...... Unexpectedly, you found me in this town. ”
"Wherever you're hiding, we can find it. Lu Lei bared his teeth.
"You ...... It was you who killed Uncle Yang Jiening. ”
"Yes! We killed it. We killed the old immortal magician in the woods outside Vortex Town!How about it?Do you have any opinion on this?hahahaha......" Lu Lei looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
"You...... Damn!" Shen Mengting gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands, imagining how to deal with it.
When Lu Lei stopped laughing, he raised the left corner of his mouth again, "Hey, I said you are that Shen Mengting! Our magician Zhang Zhijie often mentions you to me! He said that you are a very powerful swordsman." No, I want to learn your strength!"
As soon as he heard the name 'Zhang Zhijie', Zhao Yu instantly seemed to be injected with a strong current, and he angrily slammed his fist against the wall: "Where is that Zhang Zhijie now?"
Lu Lei's eyes slanted slightly towards Zhao Yu: "Oh! This must be the 'little bastard of Vortex Town' in Zhang Zhijie's mouth! I didn't expect that the old immortal staff would actually fall into the hands of someone like you." It seems that he is a wise man, but he has accepted you stupid waste apprentice!hahaha...... By the way, let me ask you a question, how is your mother doing!"
The word 'mother' was like an electric current, which shattered Zhao Yu's heart and made him fall into a state of madness.
"You ......" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his face were about to be exposed. He was about to rush towards Lu Lei. But at the moment of stepping, Shen Mengting's voice stopped him.
"Zhao Yu, stop. Shen Mengting shouted at the highest volume, "You step aside for me." ”
"However, he ......" Zhao Yu angrily pointed at Lu Lei.
"Retreat!" Shen Mengting's eyes widened extremely fiercely, and there was an irresistible order in her tone.
Helpless, Zhao Yu also withdrew his hand and shrank to the wall. However, his hatred for the Saurons did not diminish in the slightest.
"Your name is Lu Lei, right?" Shen Mengting frowned, "Lu Lei, I'll tell you." Don't think you Sauronites can invade our kingdom of Saran. ”
"Hahaha...... Aggression?Why do you want to say it so ugly?" Lu Lei bared the tiger teeth at the corner of his mouth, "Why don't you say that you Saran people don't know how to lift up and refuse to cooperate with us Sauron?"
"You don't have to quibble, whatever you try to whitewash your country's behavior, it's all naked aggression. I tell you, we in Saran will not compromise easily. ”
"Okay, let me see how the Sarans are uncompromising?" Lu Lei said as he raised his sword.
Shen Mengting was also preparing to fight, she looked at Lu Lei, and had already sensed the terrifying energy of this person.
Shen Mengting's initial guess was correct, this person was an expert-level swordsman, and he was still an elite subordinate under the eldest grandson Wenwei. Now that Shen Mengting can face this person, there is also infinite fear flowing out of her heart.
'Can I defeat him?' Shen Mengting always observed Lu Lei.
"Come on, Shen Mengting, don't delay any longer, let me see what kind of strong woman Zhang Zhijie is capable of!" Lu Lei made a sword-swinging gesture out of thin air.
Don't be so scared!I'll definitely let you taste my power!Shen Mengting prepared to make an attack style.
However, for an expert-level swordsman, Shen Mengting really had no confidence to deal with it. She carefully observed Lu Lei's body, hoping to find this person's weakness. But this weakness is certainly not so easy to find.
What to do, where to attack, how to attack? She couldn't find a way to do it.
"What's wrong, Shen Mengting. Don't you want to attack yet?Do you want to wait for me to attack first?" Lu Lei may have been impatient, he laughed provocatively again, "If I really attack first, I'm afraid you won't even be able to catch a move!"
Shen Mengting gritted her teeth, she had never been so insulted in her life. "Don't worry, I'll make you miserable in no time. She whispered a few words.
Lu Lei's smile became distorted, he slowly put down the sword, and the head of the sword fell to the ground in response, "It's really boring! It seems that Shen Mengting is nothing more than that." I thought she was such a daring girl! I know I'm scared of my expert level, but you don't even have to make a move!"
'Who said I didn't dare to make a move?, I'm just waiting for a suitable moment!' Shen Mengting's gaze shifted to the sword in Lu Lei's hand.
When the sword had been on the ground for a long time, Shen Mengting suddenly jumped up.
It's now-she raised her sword in both hands, aiming at Lu Lei not far away. The strength of her whole body had been put into her hands, and she made the biggest slash in her life. Whether or not you can defeat the enemy today depends on this heavy split.
Corresponding to what Shen Mengting thought, the giant sword in her hand also flashed with light. It was a ray of light wrapped in sword qi, and the light radiated to the surrounding area, and then spread to the entire room.
"I'm going to let you see!
Lu Lei just watched the whole process, and he barely made any moves.
"You're done!" Shen Mengting showed a hideous smile.
Just when the giant sword was about to fall on Lu Lei's head, something strange happened. I saw the corners of Lu Lei's mouth to one side, and the sword in his hand was easily lifted by him. Then, he raised the sword horizontally to his forehead. In this way, Shen Mengting's attack was blocked.
Zhao Yu was greatly surprised, the blow that Shen Mengting made just now seemed to be infused with the strength of his whole body, but it was actually blocked by Lu Lei's random sword.
