Chapter 51: The Wild Wolf Strikes
Shen Mengting picked up her ears with her index finger, and she wondered if her ears were broken again.
"What did you say?"
Seeing the surprise on Shen Mengting's face, Zhao Yu also scratched the hair under his ears in confusion, "Huh, what's wrong?"
"What were you talking about?"
"Huh, I ...... Am I not answering your question?"
"Yes, I know you're answering my questions......! What's your answer?" Shen Mengting blinked.
"The answer is master!" Zhao Yu also responded with a wink, he didn't know what Shen Mengting was surprised about.
"Oh, master. Shen Mengting pursed her lips, and after lowering her head and taking a deep breath, she suddenly exhaled, "Zhao Yu, why don't you look at yourself again?
"What's wrong?"
Shen Mengting slapped Zhao Yu's arm with her backhand: "Then you can tell me, why do you want to become a master-level swordsman?"
"Needless to say, of course, avenge your mother! Most of those Saurons are expert-level professionals. If I become a master-level swordsman, won't I be able to seek revenge on them?" Zhao Yu said without blushing or beating at all.
Shen Mengting's head leaned heavily against the fault wall she was leaning on: "Alas, but Zhao Yu, have you ever thought that you can really achieve that goal? Master level! It's not just any cat or dog who can pass through! Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that in Qingse City, the country of our Saran country, do you know how many master-level people there are?"
Before Zhao Yu could move his mouth, Shen Mengting took the lead in replying: "I can tell you unequivocally that since Uncle Yang Jiening died, there have been no more master-level figures in Qingse City. It's true. Shen Mengting shook her head, "No matter what profession it is, including swordsmen, archers, magicians and the like." There is no such thing as a master in any profession. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Yu was clear about the scarcity of the master level. But he quickly clenched his fists excitedly, "But...... But if you don't become a master-level figure, you won't be able to avenge your mother!"
Zhao Yu's expression became slightly sad. Shen Mengting can also understand this person's feelings, he can't wait to ask his mother for revenge, so he put forward such an unrealistic goal. However, even if there is such a reason, it is completely impossible to ignore reality!
Shen Mengting decided to persuade Zhao Yu to correct her position.
"Zhao Yu! Let me tell you! In order to avenge your mother, you set a higher goal for yourself, which can also be respected. I also understand your position. But you can't completely ignore reality, right! As I told you before, the master level is not so easy to achieve, and you don't have that talent. So, I think you still have to think about your own characteristics and put yourself in the right position. Then set a goal that you can do. ”
Shen Mengting said a lot of words, and Zhao Yu was stunned when she heard it. He then rolled his eyes in his socket, "But...... Remember, didn't you say before, don't talk about death, you have to believe in miracles. ”
Shen Mengting immediately twitched her body, she did seem to have said something similar, but it was just a formal remark of comfort.
However, Zhao Yu didn't take that kind of thing seriously, his head fell down quickly, "Well, but I also understand what you mean." I'm not a smart person, so I'm never going to be a master. I should see the characteristics of my own waste wood, and then target the junior swordsman, and that's it. As for avenging his mother, that's also a fantasy. There's no way I'm going to defeat those Sauronites anyway. ”
"Oops! Zhao Yu!" In the face of Zhao Yu's negative remarks, Shen Mengting was also anxious, she slapped one of her thighs violently, "I didn't mean that! I'm just saying that everyone has an upper limit for each person, and this upper limit is too dependent on talent, and ordinary people can't reach the master level that a genius should achieve no matter how hard they try. So I hope you can be calm and don't get too attached to how many powerful levels you can reach. That will only lead you into the abyss. ”
Shen Mengting has her reason for saying this. In the past, in Qingse City, she didn't know how many young people with ambitions and ideals did not believe in evil when their talents were limited, and forcibly tried a higher level. As a result, the body is broken, not to mention, even what should have been achieved has completely disappeared.
One of the most typical examples of this is a certain archer friend that Shen Mengting knew. This archer has average talent, but he is not willing to be mediocre, and after reaching the intermediate level, he is still a hard trial. He once set himself the goal of being an expert archer. However, no matter how much he tried, he could not get rid of the title of mediocrity. In the end, he didn't want to talk about expert and advanced, and even the minimum intermediate title couldn't be kept due to physical damage.
Therefore, the bloody facts tell Shen Mengting that everyone has an upper limit of talent, and it is not possible to become a genius by hard training. If a person does not put his own value right, he will only gain more than he gains, and even lose what he once had.
Shen Mengting told Zhao Yu about the examples around her, especially the archer and archer. But Zhao Yu didn't seem to understand at all, just nodded sluggishly.
"Alas, Zhao Yu, are you listening to me!" Shen Mengting's neck was about to be crooked to the side by ninety degrees, "I said so much, I just wanted to say it to you." The most important thing for a person is to recognize their own roots, and then put themselves in the right position through hard work. Instead of blindly working indiscriminately and setting a goal that is completely unrealistic and cannot be achieved. ”
Zhao Yu's mouth bulged into a balloon, and he kept 'en'en'.
"Zhao Yu, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, understood, understood!" Zhao Yu scratched the tip of his nose and inhaled suddenly.
Shen Mengting could feel the unwillingness in Zhao Yu's heart, but she didn't want to sympathize with anything. At present, Shen Mengting knew that she had to interrupt the unrealistic fantasy in Zhao Yu's heart.
"Zhao Yu, since you understand what I mean, then I have to mention what happened just now. Shen Mengting's hand fiddled in front of her for a while, "Sometimes, things are as they should be! Take the previous incident as an example, you don't have the ability to cut down that big tree at all, how can you lie and deceive me?"
Zhao Yu suddenly raised his head in a big reaction, and he looked at Shen Mengting firmly: "What do you mean by me deceiving you." It was true, I really had to cut down that big tree!"
"Is it true? But then? I told you to demonstrate it again, why did you keep chopping it again?"
"How do I know this?" Zhao Yu shook his arm violently. Then, he muttered intermittently: "Maybe as you just said, the big tree was already crumbling, and I just went to push it, and I pushed it." But that's exactly what I did, okay? How can you say I'm lying to you?"
Shen Mengting sighed deeply, and spit out quickly. "Oh, well, even if I have wronged you, you don't have to lie and deceive me subjectively!" her arms spread as if they were swimming in front of her, "but, as far as I speak. You have to keep it in mind. Don't be whimsical and think like you can do great things. ”
"Why is your tone the same as my mother?" Zhao Yu turned his face impatiently. He was afraid that when he looked at Shen Mengting, he felt the ghost of his mother from it.
"Zhao Yu!"
"Oh, you've said so much, don't you just mean to tell me. I don't have the strength to become a master! I know, I'm self-aware, so I don't bother you to murmur in my ear anymore. I know, I'm just a piece of waste, okay! Please, don't say any more persuasive words. Zhao Yu clasped his hands together as he spoke, and made a gesture begging for mercy, "I won't have any illusions anymore." ”
"Zhao Yu, I made it very clear, I don't mean anything to count you. ”
"But isn't every word you say counting?" Zhao Yu stood up suddenly, probably thinking that he was a little out of breath because he was excited, "You have already said so much, and I haven't come to refute anything." Why are you so persistent?"
"I didn't stick to it. Shen Mengting also stood up, "I just want to lead you to the right path." Because I can see that you are not convinced in your heart. ”
"Of course I'm not convinced. Do you want me to admit that I will never be able to make it?"
"I'm not asking you to admit it, I just hope you understand. ”
"Hehe! understood!" Zhao Yu suddenly walked towards the distance, he waved his head as he walked, "Fuck understand! I don't understand, why do you want to give my life in the future. Who do you think you are? To put it bluntly, we've only known each other for a long time, and you're not qualified to talk about me at all!"
"Zhao Yu!"
"I'm fed up with you woman. One moment he was angry and wanted to beat someone, and the other time his mother-in-law was telling him something. I don't understand, why are you so self-righteous? I can't stand it. Zhao Yu waved his arms sharply, and the steps in front of him were also heavily struck on the ground, "What the hell! I still don't know how much I have been told by this woman." I can't take it anymore. I think you just let me die, anyway, I can't avenge my mother!"
"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting caught up when she saw this.
He could feel the sound of running behind him, so Zhao Yu simply didn't look back.
"Zhao Yu! you wait!" Shen Mengting kept waving her hands and ran quickly.
However, just as she was about to shout something again, a chill suddenly hit her. She stopped suddenly. Years of experience in the field told Shen Mengting that there seemed to be an unknown threat in the surroundings. She began to look around uneasily, feeling only a chill on her spine.
Zhao Yu didn't know anything clearly and continued to walk forward, he was about to walk to the edge of the woods.
"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting suddenly shouted.
This unusual voice still made Zhao Yu stop. His eyes glanced to the side, but he didn't look back.
Shen Mengting's breathing became extremely unnatural, and she sped up her movements to look around, just to figure out where the threat was. Soon, Shen Mengting came out of the woods in front of her and found a clue.
In the woods in front of Zhao Yu, there was a bush quietly shaking. Shen Mengting, who was at the tip of her ears, could even hear the sound of her 'swish' swing.
Is that......
In an instant, all the warning cells in Shen Mengting's body were turned on, and she shouted at Zhao Yu:
"Zhao Yu!
Zhao Yu didn't react. As if realizing that Shen Mengting was shouting something at him in a hurry, Zhao Yu turned his head stiffly.
At this time, Shen Mengting had also determined what was hiding in the woods. She habitually grasped the hilt of the sword behind her with her backhand, and at the moment when she was about to pull it out, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the woods in front of her.
The figure was a four-legged animal lying horizontally, and it was quickly rushing towards Zhao Yu.
"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting quickly pulled out the giant sword, she had already seen what it was.
Out of the woods was a Steppenwolf.
Steppenwolves are the most common beasts of prey in Celos, they are about three meters long and are very ferocious. Normally, they will take refuge in the bushes and then suddenly come out to hunt humans.
Shen Mengting saw that a steppenwolf was rushing towards Zhao Yu, so she quickly gathered her own breath.
However, Zhao Yu was not aware of the danger, he was looking at Shen Mengting blankly, not noticing the Steppenwolf running towards him behind him.
"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting shouted out the name again. She then prepares to unleash her swordsman ability, Shockwave, on Steppenwolf.
But just when she was about to put it into action, she realized that Huang Yu was already very close to Zhao Yu, and if she released a trick against that beast now, it would definitely hurt Zhao Yu.
Damn! Shen Mengting gritted her teeth helplessly, and chose to throw out the sword in her hand directly.
The sword was like a giant dart, flying in the sky. It spun so fast that it continued to attack Zhao Yu's side towards the wheel of a carriage that was running rapidly.
Zhao Yu didn't know what was going on, and when he saw the sword flying towards him, he fell to the ground in fright. But it was at this moment that he realized the danger from the rear.
There seemed to be a strange noise behind him, and when he turned his head, he realized that a steppenwolf had pounced in front of him.
Zhao Yu's chest felt like it had been injected with acid, destroying all the thoughts in his brain. His brain was also like a short circuit, and he didn't do anything to defend himself.
Steppenwolf was opening its bloody mouth, and the saliva from its mouth was still dripping down from time to time until it dripped onto the mud below.
"Ahh
But just as Steppenwolf was about to pounce on him, he was stuck in the head with a giant sword. For a while, blood flew out, and along with the wolf's saliva, it sprayed onto Zhao Yu's face.
Feeling the smell of fish, Zhao Yu crawled a few steps into the plain uncontrollably. Of course, his cry for help never stopped.
The flying greatsword was so powerful that it thrust into the wolf's head and pushed it far away.
After Zhao Yu came back to his senses, the scene he saw was that the giant sword hit the Steppenwolf and rushed to the woods ahead with it. In a short time, it should be said that it was only a second or two of effort, and Steppenwolf was given to die on the trunk of a certain tree by the giant sword.
It was as if something had struck the woods right into the woods, and it brought out a violent shaking sensation and a complete rumbling sound towards the sky. These are all caused by Shen Mengting's strong arm strength.
The Steppenwolf didn't seem to be dead yet, and it struggled on the trunk. However, after not being able to escape the greatsword's demise no matter what, it finally stopped moving. And its blood flowed down itself, and the greatsword stuck into its head, forming a pool of blood.
"Ah......" Zhao Yu wanted to stand up, but before he could stand firmly, he fell to the ground again. He just felt slippery under his feet. In the midst of stumbling, he was able to stand up in embarrassment.
"Zhao Yu, what are you still thinking? Come to me quickly. Shen Mengting waved her hand, still running towards Zhao Yu at a fast speed.
Zhao Yu also saw the so-called safe haven, so he ran towards Shen Mengting.
The two of them were running at a rapid pace opposite each other, and the movement in the woods was not over yet. A 'swish' sound sounded again, and another steppenwolf sprang out of the woods. It stared at it as fiercely as it could, and the sound of grinding teeth came out of its mouth.
Zhao Yu turned his head back, and almost fell in a panic. He also kept his balance in a hurry, and only then did he stumble and connect with Shen Mengting.
Shen Mengting grabbed one of Zhao Yu's arms and pressed him behind him.
With Shen Mengting in front of him, Zhao Yu instantly felt a sense of comfort. However, this comfort diminished as the situation deteriorated. There was another 'swish' sound, and then a steppenwolf sprang out of the woods. Not only that, in the woods ahead, there were cunning wild wolves slowly running out, and their eyes were all staring in one direction, that is, Shen Mengting and Zhao Yu.
How could there be so many Steppenwolves?Zhao Yu looked around in a panic.
Steppenwolves are still growing, looming out of the woods in all directions, as if vowing to avenge their companions.
Shen Mengting realized this. She estimated that these Steppenwolves were eyeing them right now, and they wouldn't stop if they didn't treat them as a meal today.
Steppenwolf all tensed their bodies, and slowly walked towards Shen Mengting and them alertly. Count them at random, and find that there are as many as a dozen.
"That...... How...... What should I do?" Zhao Yu grabbed Shen Mengting's clothes.
"Don't panic! I'll figure it out!" Shen Mengting turned her head and scolded. She turned her gaze back to the Steppenwolves in front of her.
Suddenly, several wild wolves on the edge seemed to have received some message, and suddenly ran towards Shen Mengting's side. But instead of pounced on her, they swooped for her.
When Shen Mengting glanced in the direction behind her with the corner of her eye, the steppenwolves stopped again. And the wolves in front of them naturally did not stop, they were slowly approaching Shen Mengting.
Oh yo! Do you want to have a complete encirclement? Shen Mengting snorted, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked. She couldn't have imagined that these brutes were so clever that they would use tactics to snipe them both.
Shen Mengting and the others were indeed surrounded, if they were still in a semi-encircled state of arc a few seconds ago, then now they are a turtle in an urn. And the situation is not good, those wild wolves are slowly approaching, and the encirclement is still shrinking.
