Chapter 33: Strange laughter
Zhao Yu wanted to ask, 'Are you Shen Mengting'. But as soon as the words reached her mouth, the woman's hand suddenly exerted force again. It was a forward pulling action, and Zhao Yu was about to fall forward. Fortunately, the woman's other hand reacted extremely quickly, and she grabbed Zhao Yu's waist, which saved him from falling like a dog eating.
The companions who watched from a distance were a little surprised, and the development of things was beyond their imagination. They all looked at each other, but none of them stepped forward to ask what was wrong.
"By the way, I'll ask you one more question - hey! "The woman's voice is very short and the volume is very confident.
For a moment, Zhao Yu only felt as if he was being reprimanded. Coupled with a push from the woman, although Zhao Yu said that he was standing up straight, it was still difficult to stand firmly. He has the feeling that he is a puppet pulled by others at will.
Tell me to stand up, why do you want to pull me casually - Zhao Yu showed unhappiness on his face.
Even at this time, the woman did not relax her grip on Zhao Yu's arm.
"I ask you, is there anything else besides the staff and some books?" the woman tightened her angular sword eyebrows, "like documents or something?"
Hearing the word 'document', Zhao Yu straightened up. "Documents?ahhhhh
Zhao Yu clearly remembered that he hadn't mentioned anything about the black covered document bag to anyone. And if anyone knows about this, it means that this person must have a high degree of connection with the old man.
"That means there is?" the woman's right hand clenched.
Zhao Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain again. Now, he didn't even dare to shake his hand, for fear that the woman would hold it tighter. He craned his neck, his teeth clenched.
Seeing this, the woman still relaxed a little and said, "There should be!"
Zhao Yu immediately nodded.
"Okay, take me to your house and give me the 'things'. β
Without waiting for Zhao Yu to react, the woman walked around on her own. Because his arm was tightly pulled, Zhao Yu had to follow behind the woman in embarrassment.
"Wait, can you let me figure things out first. β
Even though Zhao Yu pleaded hard, the woman ignored him at all. The woman continued to walk in the opposite direction of the proving ground.
"Hey, can you think a little bit about my feelings? Can you not cling to people like that?"
The woman seemed to hear Zhao Yu's shout, and her eyes immediately squinted to the side. At first, Zhao Yu thought that the woman would put down her hand, but what she was waiting for was a more violent pull forward.
The woman's hand that was clenched on Zhao Yu's arm waved forward casually. Zhao Yu fell forward. And at the moment when she was about to fall, the woman suddenly came to remember again, and Zhao Yu was tightly pulled to the woman's side.
Zhao Yu felt dizzy, and he didn't dare to take a breath. And just as he looked around, he realized that he had reached the front of the woman.
"You lead the way, take me to your house, and give me the things. The woman muttered loudly.
Why is this the case again? Zhao Yu's mouth bulged into a ball. Once he was able to stand firmly, he quickly straightened up again. However, this effect of showing one's own height is almost equivalent to nothing. The woman is a little taller than Zhao Yu, who is 1.75 meters taller.
Helpless, Zhao Yu also curled up slightly, "But you must at least tell me the context of the matter in detail first, right?" β
"It's all said that it's not necessary. You don't need to know the context of things, and even if you did, it wouldn't work. The woman replied forcefully.
"But...... The old man said that I must give my things to the person he said he would say, and no one else could get them. β
"What?" a hint of surprise crossed the woman's face, "You said he once spoke to you?" The woman's two black eyeballs collided with Zhao Yu blatantly, "Didn't you say to others, 'What you meet in the woods is a corpse'?"
Zhao Yu only felt a chill hit him, and he found that he could no longer look at the woman.
"Right...... I lied at the time. I didn't want anyone else to know that the old man was alive, and he repeatedly told me not to mention it to anyone else. So all I can say is that what I encountered was a corpse. Zhao Yu swallowed, "Actually, he was still alive at that time, and he handed over all his things to me for safekeeping." Finally, he said to me, 'No one can give anything but one name...... Shen Mengting's female swordsman'. β
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu slowly raised his head and glanced at the woman quickly,
The woman's hand that was holding Zhao Yu's arm relaxed, and she actually showed a surprised face at this moment. Her eyes fluttered rapidly and irregularly, and her mouth exhaled a chaotic breath.
The woman's thoughts seemed to be firmly covered by a big hand, as if there was a tendency for five thunderbolts to crash.
"So...... Is he like this now? Is he still alive?"
After a long time, the woman pointed her eyes at Zhao Yu. It's just that Zhao Yu found that there seemed to be a moist breath coming out of the woman's eye sockets.
Zhao Yu avoided the woman's gaze: "Hungry! I'm sorry! He died after handing over the things to me." β
The woman's body began to shake slightly. She took a sharp step back, staring at the sky with nothingness in her eyes. "Ahh......h
The woman's abnormal behavior caused Zhao Yu to dare to look at her. At this time, Zhao Yu calmed down and completely saw the woman's face.
The woman's age doesn't seem to be very old, maybe a little older than Zhao Yu. Although her face is a little strong, she also exudes a strong sense of heroism in her gestures. However, judging from the sadness she had shown before, she seemed to be an ordinary woman again.
A bit of a baby fat face, plus bright facial features. Zhao Yu, who barely had the slightest contact with women, seemed to be attracted by this face.
After sighing, the woman suddenly regained her previous strength. She looked at Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu was so frightened that he took a small step back. Of course, the grip on Zhao Yu's arm was naturally restored.
"Now, then, take me to your house and give me what the old man has entrusted you. The woman exerted her strength again, and walked around while pulling Zhao Yu.
is full of a sense of being pulled, but Zhao Yu feels that the woman is a lot gentler at the moment.
"Hungry...... But, wait. Didn't you hear what I just said? The old man only allowed me to hand over the things to a person named Shen Mengting. Are you Shen Mengting?"
As soon as the words 'Shen Mengting' were mentioned, Zhao Yu could personally feel the change in the woman's expression. The woman's footsteps stopped.
The woman looked at Zhao Yu indifferently, and was about to blurt out something, but was stopped by the voice at the gate.
"Zhao Yu, what's going on, is something happening?"
The students in the trial ground all walked out, and they all looked tense. I believe that the actions of Zhao Yu and the woman before were all seen by them.
The woman looked at the men who were rushing towards her, the corners of her mouth curled to one side in disdain.
"Hungry, wait. Actually, it's nothing. This ......" Zhao Yu blinked blankly, "Actually...... Yes...... Actually......"
He didn't know how to introduce the woman. In fact, as long as a woman is patient, things will not evolve to this point at all.
"Who is this woman?" Zha Hongliang walked between Zhao Yu and the woman, his eyes firmly locked on the arm that was grasping the arm of the other person.
"She's ......"
Zhao Yu opened his mouth slightly, and raised a large number of women with a surprised gaze. None of the women seem to want to explain to others.
"Zhao Yu, you won't be in any trouble, right?" Liang Chaowei tilted his neck, "If so, don't be afraid, you can talk to us." We'll all help you. β
As soon as Liang Chaowei's words fell, the surrounding students quickly crowded again.
Seeing that things were about to develop in an unpredictable direction, Zhao Yu looked blankly at the friends he knew around him.
Suddenly, the woman's expression was slightly strange. Her eyes widened like lanterns, and she turned her head in a lightning-fast manner.
"Hey, who the hell are you, did you come to our trial ground to get in trouble?" said one of the cadets.
But the woman ignored him. The woman looked uneasily behind her, it was a broad avenue, and there was nothing but the low jungle on either side.
What is the woman looking at? Zhao Yu followed the woman's gaze strangely, and also looked at the road that came out of the testing ground.
"Danger!"
Without warning, the woman shouted at the crowd. Then, in the next instant, the woman put her hand behind her back. She has a greatsword almost equal to her height on her back.
As she grasped the hilt, the sword was pulled out of its scabbard with a metallic grind.
Zhao Yu could feel a hurricane slicing across his cheeks, and he didn't have time to be surprised or frightened, a giant sword slashed over his head.
At the same time, an inexplicable blue glow appeared in the distance of the road. The light was coming in their direction.
What's going on?" Zhao Yu took a sharp breath.
The woman held the greatsword in both hands and blocked it directly in front of her. The light grew closer and closer, until it was visible that it contained a blue ice arrow.
What is this? Zhao Yu's body began to tremble violently.
The rest of the people also looked panicked, except for the woman, of course. The woman clenched the sword in both hands, and her body sank slightly. Although it was facing back, Zhao Yu also saw the back of the woman's neck and the back of her hand, and the green tendons on it had already burst out.
The blue ice arrow came at her and struck her directly. No, it should be the giant sword held by the woman, to be exact.
Immediately afterward, the woman's body swiped backwards and touched quickly. Even though she firmly fixed her feet on the ground, it had little effect, and the sides of both feet were almost sparkling.
The woman who retreated quickly slammed into the crowd behind her, and they all fell.
Since Zhao Yu was the closest to the woman before, he also suffered the greatest impact. After falling to the ground, he clung to his waist in pain.
The woman was okay and didn't fall down. But judging from the two long straight lines in front of her feet, she withstood a lot of force.
"Damn!" the woman cried, her teeth clenched. She suddenly turned her head and yelled at the men scattered around her, "Anyone who wants to live should run quickly." β
After a few words, the men scattered in fear. Some of them didn't even stand still, and even ran to both sides of the road.
Zhao Yu also wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, and he was about to sprint to the left when he held the ground with both hands. Unexpectedly, he didn't take a single step, and the clothes on the back of his neck were suddenly grabbed.
"You don't want to go. You're going to take me to get something. β
Corresponding to the woman's words, Zhao Yu felt an opposite pull, and he was pulled to the side by the woman's left hand.
"Hey! You ......" Zhao Yu was at a loss and wanted to struggle away.
At this moment, another ice arrow flew in the distance. Seeing this, Zhao Yu quickly hugged his head and curled up behind the woman.
With a force on the woman's right hand, she slammed her giant sword in front of her. The greatsword struck the flying ice arrow, sending it diagonally into the bushes to the left.
Suddenly, the dwarf bushes on the diagonal left changed. Large areas of the trees were frozen in ice, as if they would shatter when they were knocked on.
Zhao Yu gasped for thisβwhat the hell is going on?
To this day, he still has an illusory and strange feeling about what is happening in front of him.
Then, no more ice arrows flew, and the surroundings became quiet. Only then could Zhao Yu calmly look around. It's just that he still clings to the woman's back, not daring to take even a small step.
"Haha...... Ha ha...... Haha......"
A burst of treacherous laughter penetrated into the eardrums, and Zhao Yu's face distorted. The woman, on the other hand, looks at the front with an alert look.
A figure leaped nimbly out of the bushes on the side, and he landed in the middle of the path with a staff in hand.
"Haha......"
The laughter continued, which meant that whether it was the blue ice arrow from before, or the treacherous and weird laughter, it should have come from the mouth of this man.
Zhao Yu's heart was also rapidly expanding and contracting 'bang', and it didn't slow down at all because the attack stopped. He leaned against the woman's back and poked his head out of one of her shoulders.
The man with the staff laughed for a long time, and only when he stopped talking about it did he slowly straighten up.
For some reason, Zhao Yu always felt that he had seen this person somewhere - the face of the shoehorn and the full forehead that was exposed.
However, Zhao Yu couldn't say specific information about meeting the man.
"You're here too?" the man bared his teeth, "Shen Mengting." β
When he heard this name, Zhao Yu instantly looked at the woman in front of him. She is really Shen Mengting! Zhao Yu's mouth was opening slightly.
At least now that the identity of the woman can be determined, Zhao Yu doesn't have to be wary of her anymore.
Shen Mengting stabbed the sword she was holding forward out of thin air: "Zhang Zhijie, it turned out to be you! You were originally alive and well in the Sauron Empire, why did you run to our Saran if you had nothing to do? Do you want to know how to write the word 'traitor'?"
What shocked Zhao Yu even more was knowing the man's name was that he seemed to have heard the words about the 'Sauron Empire'. That's not a good name, and Zhao Yu's nightmare for the past few days has also revolved around it.
What the hell is going on? Zhao Yu's brain became a little short-circuited. He didn't know what to do next, but he simply set Shen Mengting's back.
"Don't be so stubborn, little girl. You should know what I'm here for?" the man, known as Zhang Zhijie, laughed wickedly.
"Are you the only one of the pursuers?"
"Exactly. Zhang Zhijie's inverted chin slammed down, "And you know what? β
Shen Mengting's eyes widened after hearing this: "It seems that you have lived quite well in the Sauron Empire in recent years." β
"You don't have to send me blessings. Zhang Zhijie waved his hand disdainfully, "I advise you to get to know each other and stop resisting uselessly." As he spoke, he coldly raised his index finger towards Shen Mengting.
Shen Mengting immediately put on a fighting posture, only to see her holding the giant sword, and the blade on one side was firmly aimed at Zhang Zhijie.
"What? Do you still want to resist?" Zhang Zhijie's eyes were full of nothingness.
"I'm not going to let people like you get away with it. β
"Hehe! Are you still worthy of telling me this? Let me tell you! Yang Jiening has long since died, and your Saran Kingdom has lost its last chance to resist. So, really...... If you can put down your sword, maybe I can still remember my old friendship and spare your life. β
"Who's going to have a relationship with a traitor like you!"
"Oh, I'm so sad for you to say that, I've known each other for so many years. Zhang Zhijie slowly moved a few steps to the side, "Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
The sword in Shen Mengting's hand moved with the displacement of the enemy. Jian Feng never left Zhang Zhijie, and Shen Mengting did not relax for a moment.
"I've made it clear. Yang Jiening is dead, even he can't stop us, let alone you?"
"I'm not going to tell you anything...... Oh no. It should be said that the Sauron Empire. I'm not going to compromise with anyone in Sauron. β
"Oh, is that so?" Zhang Zhijie quickly sank his face, the face that was still full of smiles was now full of death, "Then don't blame me for being rude." β
"Do whatever you want, and don't always act like you're standing on the moral high ground. β
"Well, you're just like the old man, self-righteous. How did the Sauron Empire hurt you, and you want to resist like this?"
"It's a shame that you can still say it. Shen Mengting said in an important sentence.
"I can't say anything. It is clear that you are looking out for the interests of humanity. Well, I don't want to talk about that kind of thing anymore. You can give me your life!" Zhang Zhijie lifted his staff slightly.
Shen Mengting also held the giant sword tighter, ready to face an earth-shattering battle at any time.
Zhao Yu was behind her, and she didn't know what to do. If you want to escape and hide to the side, you are afraid that if your speed is too slow, you will not be exposed to the enemy's attack. Therefore, Zhao Yu had to continue to curl up quietly and hide, not daring to move.
Mother, the burden in Zhao Yu's heart made him think of his mother again. If his mother is here, he will definitely protect him. Zhao Yu's body trembled slightly.
Zhang Zhijie didn't seem to attack at the first time, he didn't even move his body. However, the expression on his face was unpredictable. In the end, with a smile that hooked the corners of his mouth, he faced Shen Mengting, who was tense.
At this time, Zhao Yu noticed that there was a sound of bushes moving behind him. He looked back in surprise.
In a bush, a figure slowly stepped out of it. He was also holding a staff in his hand, and he looked so calm and calm.
It wasn't until Zhao Yu saw this person's face clearly that he thought of something in a trance.
Whether it's this new man, or that Zhang Zhijie. Aren't they all the people Zhao Yu encountered when he was testing in the suburbs before, and he met a group of people who claimed to be from the garden survey team?
