Chapter 55: Sudden failure
Nasa was still wrestling with the three Steppenwolf, but the half-lame posture had reduced its agility considerably. Nasa no longer opts for kicks and offenses, but is all about defending passively.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu was going to help.
"Nassa. He waved his right hand casually, "I'll help you!"
Zhao Yuxuan put his right hand in front of him, and the blue ball hanging on the palm of his right hand also spewed out a gas bomb. The air bomb struck Steppenwolf behind Nassar, who was about to bite her leg.
The wolf instantly jumped in the air as if it had cramped. Then the wolf fell to the ground.
"Hahaha!How is it?, am I good?" In addition to success, Zhao Yu did not forget to show his words of compliment.
When the other two Steppenwolves saw their companions being beaten, they quickly shifted their targets to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu immediately made preparations for the battle, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and held up the palm of his right hand as if he was in control. He hadn't felt such a thrill in years.
Since you two wild wolves are coming to die, then I will fulfill you-Zhao Yu turned his right palm forward.
However, just as he made a forward palm push, trying to do the same as all the previous air bombs, he made a squib in his hand, and the air bombs were not fired.
He was stunned at first, and then he kept pushing his hand in front of him.
Indeed, the mana gas bullet was not emitted. Zhao Yu hurriedly brought his right hand closer and saw what was wrong at the bottom. But no matter how he looked at it, he didn't understand what was wrong. He couldn't even figure out why he was so powerful all of a sudden.
Zhao Yu returned to his previous discouraged appearance, and he retreated in a panic.
The two steppenwolves didn't care about anything, and continued to rush towards Zhao Yu. After reaching a similar distance, they quickly jumped. Two steppenwolves pounced on Zhao Yu at the same time.
Zhao Yu was so frightened that he observed his palms again, and he was hiding with his legs in a panic backwards. But now in this form, he obviously can't escape.
Seeing that the two Steppenwolves were getting closer and closer, and what was worse was that Zhao Yu suddenly felt a burst of collapse, and his whole body shivered. Immediately after, whether it was the staff he was holding or the blue ball of light on his right hand, the light source disappeared violently.
The air currents that had been smoothly surrounding him before also spread outwards one by one. The air flow is like some broken ice crystals, making bursting sounds, and forming a strange mist in the sky.
Zhao Yu knelt on the ground, his body twitching uncontrollably. He didn't seem to be able to support his upper body anymore, so he held the staff together with both hands, and forced his strength to prevent his body from completely falling.
What's going on?,Zhao Yu slowly raised his head. His two eyeballs were still violently pounding in their sockets. His mind seemed to be completely disorganized, and the image of him beating Steppenwolf just now kept spinning back and forth in his mind.
"Ah......h
In the end, it was by yelling that Zhao Yu gradually regained consciousness. He felt like he had broken through the veil that bound his body and rejuvenated himself.
Now, his body was finally relaxed, and Zhao Yu gasped a few times weakly. Just as he was about to relax, he realized that the two Steppenwolves were close at hand.
When Zhao Yu raised his head and made contact with one of the Steppenwolf wolf eyes, he could feel the hatred of the other party very intuitively. Zhao Yu took a deep breath, anticipating the fact that he was about to be bitten.
Immediately showed an indescribable expression, Zhao Yu was about to close his eyes in resignation.
But just when he thought he was going to die, a huge sword slashed out of the corner of his eye. The sword slashed down to Steppenwolf's belly from the bottom up, and the Steppenwolf never moved again. Then, the greatsword was thrown towards the other Steppenwolf, and the curved blade that burst out of it struck the wolf. The wolf was shot away.
Zhao Yu was dumbfounded, he gradually turned his head, only to see Shen Mengting holding a giant sword and standing next to him.
For a moment, the surrounding situation seemed to be quiet. When the other Steppenwolves saw such great power, they all turned and fled. The rest were either injured and ran slowly, or they had turned into corpses lying quietly on the ground.
"You kid. After a few casual moves, it swelled, and it actually overdrew its own strength like this!" Shen Mengting thrust the giant sword in her hand into the ground.
Zhao Yu didn't understand what Shen Mengting's words meant, so he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
But Shen Mengting didn't pay attention to it, but ran to Nasa next to her. She approached Nasa and comforted the loyal white horse.
Zhao Yu also sat down on the ground. He knew that things were over, and that the Steppenwolf crisis was completely resolved.
But......
Zhao Yu quickly looked at the staff just now. What the hell was going on? He thought about it again.
Shen Mengting suppressed her breath and checked the injuries on Nasa's body. Except for a more fatal bite on the back side, nothing else was serious. But at the very least, it can be concluded that Nassa has lost the chance to run for the next few days.
With Nassa's injuries checked, it's her turn. Shen Mengting stretched out her arms and began to check herself. It's about the same as Nassa, that is, there is a bite on the left arm, and everything else is fine, but it is all blunt trauma.
Shen Mengting raised her left arm slightly, and she stroked it slightly with her right hand. To be honest, this injury was a bit too severe compared to the others. The leader wolf was a merciless fellow, and his mouth was scarred like this. Shen Mengting frowned, and gently stirred up the blood stains that were still flowing on it.
Even a whole piece of meat was bitten off, and Shen Mengting began to travel around with her pain in her hands.
Zhao Yu was still thinking about the magical scene just now, he took the staff in front of him and began to check it like a treasure hunt. He seemed to have completely forgotten God, and he no longer paid attention to his own wounds. It wasn't until Shen Mengting's greeting that Zhao Yu suddenly woke up.
"Hey, you're okay kid now, are you hurting somewhere?"
With Shen Mengting's inquiry, Zhao Yu checked himself. Although there was a little pain all over his body, there was not a single bloody scar. Of course, this should also be due to the fact that some of the injuries were grasped by wolves, and now they have all scarred and no longer bleed.
Zhao Yu recalled the scene when he was forced under the leader of a steppenwolf to be grabbed indiscriminately. At that time, it was really dangerous, and if you were not careful, you would be bitten off by the other party. Fortunately, something strange happened after that, he was able to send a gas bomb out of thin air, and then he escaped.
"Hey, I'm asking you!" Shen Mengting's confident words came out.
Zhao Yu turned around, slowly stood up and shook his head.
After Shen Mengting took a look at Zhao Yu, she lowered her head and walked around the plain. She seemed to be looking for something. Sure enough, after walking somewhere, she bent down and picked up a small bottle cap.
This small bottle cap should have been placed in the package, and due to Nassa's fight with the wolves just now, everything was scattered all over the ground.
Screwed the bottle cap, and Shen Mengting ran back to Nasa's side. There was an overabundance of concern in her eyes. After shaking the vial slightly, she poured the liquid from the bottle onto the palm of her left hand.
Then, Shen Mengting evenly smeared the liquid on one of Nasa's hind limbs. When Nassa let out a cry of pain, she made a note of lifting her forelimbs.
Just now, Shen Mengting touched Nasa's hind limbs with a healing ointment, which was still a very expensive kind. As long as the ointment is applied evenly to the wound, the healing of the injury can be delayed by several days.
Shen Mengting expects Nasa's hind limbs to recover in just three days.
After finishing Nasa, Shen Mengting still had to deal with her own wounds. Instead of rubbing it on the palm of her hand, she poured the plaster from the vial on the scar on her left arm. The moment the plaster reached the wound, she felt a sharp pain that she had never felt before.
Shen Mengting closed her eyes tightly and pressed the wound with her right hand. It was almost as if the ointment was about to be fully absorbed before she opened her eyes and strolled over to the package.
She picked up the wrap and quickly tore it in half. Half of it was thrown away, and the other half was used as a bandage by her. She wrapped the wrap around her left arm, which also isolated the wound from contact with the outside world.
Zhao Yu saw all this, and he asked tentatively: "You...... Are you alright?"
"It's okay, don't worry, you can't die. Shen Mengting replied competently.
Zhao Yu made an 'oh' word, and then focused his attention on the staff in his hand.
"Do you care about that staff?"
Shen Mengting's sudden question caused Zhao Yu to tilt his head and look at her tightly.
"Let me ask you if you care about this staff?" Shen Mengting accentuated her tone again, repeating the question just now.
"Ah......" Zhao Yu reacted, "I don't care, it's just ......" His Yu's gaze wandered back and forth between the staff and Shen Mengting.
In the end, Zhao Yu still decided to ask, he thought that with Shen Mengting's experience in handling things, this woman would definitely know a thing or two about the strange scene just now.
"That...... I'd like to ask you, what the hell just happened, how could that happen to my body?"
"What kind of thing are you referring to happening?"
"Of course it's ......" Zhao Yu almost couldn't find the right words to cover for a while. He had to scratch his head, and after thinking about it, he still revealed a word.
'Magic'.
Well, it's magic! Zhao Yu really wanted to knock on his head at this moment, thinking that he had only thought of this word until now. Aren't those unknown blue lights just now, and the blue air currents wandering around you, just magic?
Zhao Yu recalled the appearance of the two Sauron Empire mages when they attacked in front of the Vortex Town's proving ground. Aren't they also full of blue light shining on their hands?
But if that's magic. Then new problems arise. Why was Zhao Yu able to use magic?
"Yes, you're right, you just used magic!"
"Hungry!" then I ......" Zhao Yu scratched the position below his earlobe, "How did I use magic?"
"Isn't this for yourself, what's the use of you asking me this question?" Shen Mengting replied quickly and neatly.
Zhao Yu immediately entered into thought. Why did he use magic? He hadn't been exposed to anything about magic at all. Even, before he got involved in the Envelope Incident, he had never met a magician in a decent way.
Shen Mengting was approaching Zhao Yu, she came to Zhao Yu, grabbed his shoulder and shook it suddenly.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just going to check all over your body to see if there are any wounds. Shen Mengting said calmly.
Zhao Yu was a little awkward, and he showed a speechless expression. It was confirmed that there was not much pain, and the uncomfortable shaking stopped.
After a pause, Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva again. "So, what was it like to see what I was doing, and why did I suddenly use such a powerful spell?"
Just when he wanted to think deeply, Shen Mengting's words sounded again.
"Do you know?" she pointed to the staff in Zhao Yu's hand, "Where is this staff?"
"Huh?" Zhao Yu squinted at the staff, "Is it coming from?"
"This is Uncle Yang Jiening's staff, and its name is the Frost Staff. This staff has been with my uncle for more than thirty years, and it can be said that it represents the weapon of the strongest magician. ”
"Wow! that's amazing!" Zhao Yu's gaze at the staff deepened.
"Yes. It's a rare staff. ”
"Oh, but...... What does this have to do with me?"
Shen Mengting didn't answer immediately, but walked around Zhao Yu in a circle. Her pace was very slow, and the gaze that looked at Zhao Yu was quite strange.
What's wrong? Zhao Yuzhi felt a chill down his spine.
"Haven't you learned about magicians before?"
Shen Mengting's question made Zhao Yu feel funny. He certainly hadn't touched anything about the mage's profession. You must know that magicians are a very, very high-level profession for ordinary children like Zhao Yu. Not to mention the high cost of study, the venue for the trial is also strict.
Therefore, Zhao Yu would not be able to touch the magician-related learning no matter what.
"How could there be?" Zhao Yu lowered his head and pinched his nose with his hand.
"Is it really not?" Shen Mengting narrowed her eyes, "You won't lie to me, will you?"
"Hey, why do you always think I'm lying to you? Don't you ever believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it. But judging from the few moves you just made, it was exactly the magic bullet trick in the magician. If a man has never studied magician, how can he use the tricks associated with this profession?"
"How do I know that? That's why I asked you!"
"Alright, I'll ask you another question. You ran away just now, why did you go back to help me? Do you know how dangerous that stance was. Maybe we're all going to die in Huangquan!" Shen Mengting twitched behind her with her thumb.
Zhao Yu curled up. Actually, this question was quite embarrassing to him. He explained to Shen Mengting his mental activities at the beginning, including from being scared at first, to finally mustering up the courage to come back and save his companions. He said it hesitantly, and he glanced at Shen Mengting from time to time.
“...... Well, that's it. That's pretty much it...... Yes...... In short, I don't want my companions to be bitten to death by wolves. Also, I don't want to be a coward anymore. I want to be a decent man. ”
Shen Mengting smiled when she heard this, "What! What kind of upright man do you want to be!"
Zhao Yu was a little annoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect that after such a sincere narration by himself, he would actually get Shen Mengting's ridicule.
Zhao Yu 'cut' and swung his head stiffly.
"Hey, I'm just kidding, you don't need to be so sensitive!" Shen Mengting clasped her arms together, "Well, after this fight with Steppenwolf, I really have to be impressed by you." Although you were still a coward at first, you just ran away. However, after some ideological struggles, you are still willing to risk your life to come back, which shows that you are still a little courageous, and you are indeed an upright man. ”
Zhao Yu listened to this, and his heart suddenly became beautiful, and he showed a triumphant expression.
"Hey, don't get too excited just yet. After the praise, of course, there is still criticism. ”
Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and opened his mouth blankly.
"To be honest, I was a little disappointed by your performance. Because you didn't show the scheming you should. I won't talk about you running away in fear. Just tell me what you did after you came back?" Shen Mengting pointed into the distance, "You actually only brought some stones, thinking of throwing wild wolves with stones." Have you ever wondered if this kind of behavior is useful at all?"
After saying that, Shen Mengting flashed a toothy smile at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu's heart was churned with a different feeling, and Shen Mengting had never smiled at him so openly in the image.
After dragging the long sound of the word 'oh', Zhao Yu pinched his earlobe, "Yes, you said this! But I couldn't help it at the time! The situation was so critical, I wanted to help again." What else can I do but the stones on the road! It's better to throw stones at those wolves than to fight them with your bare hands!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Mengting suddenly shook her head, and she suddenly pointed to the position behind the left: "Who said that there is nothing else to take? Isn't there your sword where there is a fault? Can't you run over and take it at that time, and then think about saving me?"
Zhao Yu's face froze instantly, and he twitched his cheek and looked at it, only to feel that it seemed to be the case. However, he still forcibly explained it around his face.
"Hungry...... The situation was so urgent, how could I have gone all the way to pick up a sword! Besides, the stone is also effective, it can distract the wolf. You know, it was because I threw a stone that the leader wolf didn't bite you anymore, right?" Zhao Yu said this without confidence while rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.
"Well, that's the end of it, don't mention it again. ”
After that, Shen Mengting began to sort out the items that had fallen on the ground. She first re-tied the fallen scabbard behind her, and then pulled the greatsword into the ground. When the sword was reinserted into the scabbard, it was obvious that the woman was much more relaxed.
Zhao Yu thought about it, and he also lowered his head to search for the dropped items. This plain is really a mess, and the fight with the Steppenwolf pack just now is really scary to think about. Zhao Yu shook his head vigorously and supported his staff on the ground.
Shen Mengting picked up some usable items one after another, such as dry food and water bottles. As she was about to pick up the book on the ground, she suddenly hesitated for a moment. She looked at Zhao Yu behind her for a long time before picking up the books one by one.
The books were neatly folded together and placed inside her clothes. Then, she filtered out the unnecessary stuff and was ready to hit the road.
"Let's go! It's not safe here. ”
Shen Mengting was worried that those Steppenwolves would come for revenge.
Zhao Yu nodded, and was about to return the staff to Shen Mengting. However, Shen Mengting waved her hand.
"Put it here for you first. ”
Zhao Yu felt a little strange, but since Shen Mengting had said so, he didn't resist anything.
And just like that, they were on their way again.
