Chapter 154: Shadow Demon
I don't know how long I walked, Zhao Yu already felt a little tired. Although it can be colloquially called a stick, it must be much more difficult to carry a torch than to hold a staff.
Zhao Yu became a little out of breath, and his breathing rate was also increasing.
"Zhao Yu, do you feel tired?" Shen Mengting next to her was the first to notice Zhao Yu's abnormality again.
Zhao Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "Ah! It's okay...... It's okay......"
"What's okay? You see you can't even speak clearly!"
"It's really fine......
"What's wrong?" Chen Tianhao looked ahead, his brows slightly tightened, "Could it be that the magician can't walk again?"
"......Ahh
In this way, he was separated from Chen Tianhao's direct contact.
Shen Mengting slightly pushed Zhao Yu's abdomen with her elbow, intending to remind him not to talk much.
"This magician is tired again?ah! I wonder how he became a magician? Of course, what surprises me even more is why he is in your ranks?"
Facing Chen Tianhao's question, Shen Mengting approached and strode down, "This has nothing to do with you! But my team members are tired, and he needs to take a good rest!"
"Why does he always feel tired? I, who have just recovered from a serious injury, are not so pretentious!"
"Are you embarrassed to tell me, if it weren't for the doctors on our side who poured the light of treatment into you, you would be alive and kicking around here and still threatening us?" Shen Mengting seemed a little anxious.
But Chen Tianhao waved his hand casually, "How many times do you want me to say it? I didn't force you to save me! Since you have saved me, don't talk about it often, it will easily cause people to be disgusted!"
"Ha! Look, he doesn't have the slightest gratitude for our salvation!" Qian Hao twitched the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help but shake his shoulder when he laughed.
"Anyway, it's an indisputable fact that we saved you, do you need to resist us like this?" Shen Mengting's voice was increasing in decibels.
"I didn't contradict you!"
"Then I want my team members to rest, why not? Just take a little rest, and I didn't say I wouldn't help you!" Shen Mengting's eyes were already in a state of staring.
But Chen Tianhao still looked leisurely, "It's not that I don't want to rest, I'm not a harsh person." But look at that fellow magician of yours. I've never seen a young man as poor in fitness as he is, and walk a few steps like this?"
The dispute between the two of you and me, not only their words, but even the sound of their body movements are resounding in the hole**, and because of the echo, the quiet cave** is almost as noisy as beating gongs and drums.
Zhao Yu hated this atmosphere the most in his life, although he knew that the source of the dispute between the two came from Zhao Yu himself. But he still unacceptably chose to stay away as much as possible.
His footsteps slowly retreated until he was about to touch the cave wall.
"Won't you empathize, if you can't walk, and someone forces you to hurry, how will you feel?" Shen Mengting said righteously.
"Hehe! I'm sorry! I'm not going to be able to walk on my legs after just a few walks, and I'm going to have to beg others to rest. ”
"Don't say that! The reason why you don't feel tired now is not because you have been carefully treated by a doctor!"
"Well, why are you bringing this back to the topic?"
"I'm just giving you an example!"
The argument between the two is still increasing, and one of them has no intention of compromising. Zhao Yu leaned against the cave wall in fear, he touched the wall with his backhand, and his back seemed to be glued as a whole.
"Your example is clearly inappropriate!"
"What's wrong?" Shen Mengting shook the torch in her hand, "You have been carefully treated by a doctor, so naturally you will not understand the current pain of others." ”
"This has nothing to do with whether the doctor has treated it or not! A normal person will not feel tired because he has only traveled so much. If you don't believe me, ask someone else. Chen Tianhao took turns snorting at Jiang Jingwen and Qian Hao, "These two people are not tired at all, and you are not tired either." But he was the only one who couldn't walk anymore. There is only one reason for this!"
Chen Tianhao immediately pointed sharply at Zhao Yu: "That is, his physical fitness is too poor!"
Zhao Yu only felt that a stream of heat rushed straight into his heart, and his movement close to the cave wall was even more obvious. In other words, he also thought that this assassin was not wrong, and Zhao Yu's physical fitness had always been very poor.
Shen Mengting was also a little dumbfounded, but she was still trying her best to argue for Zhao Yu.
"In many ways, it can't be a simple reason. It's one thing that his physical fitness is not good, but it's also one thing that you let people force their families to go at night. So he has the right to rest!"
"Hah! You're going to have a lot of. I remember......" Chen Tianhao looked like he was meditating, "I shouldn't have forced him to hurry! I first turned to you and the archer for help." As for this crappy magician who can't even get around, I didn't ask him to do anything!"
Shen Mengting was speechless again after hearing this, her mouth was moving violently, but no words were released. finally rushed to the restraints, but she still explained to Zhao Yu.
Seeing that the dispute between the two was intensifying, Zhao Yu felt a little headache. Luckily, he leaned the back of his head and neck against the cave wall. In an instant, a chill spread around his neck.
"So in the end, it's still his physical fitness that is not up to par. If he had been exercising diligently, how could he have reached such a state of panting now. Also, I noticed a problem before. I can't understand how a woman who is almost perfect in doing things would speak for a man who can't even get on the road!" Chen Tianhao repeated the words in his heart expressionlessly.
"You...... Why do you talk like that!"
"I'm just telling the truth!"
How long is it going to be argued? The facial features on Zhao Yu's face were almost clustered together. He wanted the current environment to be quiet, not this noisy bickering. Although it is only two words, because it is in the cave, it is full of echoes.
Zhao Yu tried to raise his head, which seemed to make him more relaxed. He tried his best to avoid every word of the others, and even the rapid breathing slowed down.
Zhao Yu looked up at the top of the cave, and his mouth was wide open.
Suddenly, there seemed to be some movement on the top, and Zhao Yu quickly blinked. He instinctively clenched the torch in his hand. Realizing that he had a torch in his hand and not a staff, he quickly touched the staff behind him with his other hand.
"Your so-called facts are the subjective cognition in your heart! You must be as you think others should be! To put it bluntly, people like you are jealous, selfish, and self-centered. ”
"You are really merciless in your criticism of me, but I still have to say, a man who can't even get a little way, doesn't he have a very big problem? As for the rest, I bother you not to talk nonsense with me!"
Watching the further dispute between the assassin and the swordsman, Qian Hao was also a little annoyed. In fact, he originally wanted to help Shen Mengting speak, but sometimes he felt that the assassin had not said anything wrong.
Zhao Yu's physical fitness really doesn't look like a man's. Earlier, when he was on the way, Qian Hao was about to say a few words.
"Alright! Alright!" Qian Hao walked between Chen Tianhao and Shen Mengting, and he was still slapping his palms downward, "Let's say a few words!"
"I don't want to say that this female swordsman has been unrelenting!" Chen Tianhao spread out his arms helplessly, looking very indifferent.
"You ......"
Zhao Yu had reached the point of having a splitting headache, and his body leaning against the wall was gradually declining. But he realized that there was something above, so he could only force himself to continue to look overhead.
Soon, a slight sound was released, and although it was extremely hidden, it was still discovered by Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and he continued to look at the top of the darkness.
The sound came from overhead, a 'squeak' from the mouth of a beast. It's hidden in the arguments of people, so that no one else notices.
Zhao Yu's cheeks seemed to twitch, and his jaw was already shaking as if it was cramping.
'There is indeed something wrong!' Zhao Yu immediately wanted to remind his companion.
However, the people in the cave ** have no other actions except for arguing.
"That...... That ......" Zhao Yu looked at the top and quickly looked at everyone, "I want to say ......"
But as soon as the words were spoken, the movement from above was added. Zhao Yu could feel that the danger was approaching rapidly.
"Everybody...... Listen to me......" He hurried to the crowd. But as soon as I stepped out, my legs became weak. He was going to fall soon. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, pulled out the staff behind his back, and held it to the ground.
But it is this little bit of time that drags on the threat overhead, and the threat is even closer.
Soon, Zhao Yu seemed to see something above. It was a spider-like object that was slowly sinking down from the roof of the cave.
"That'...... That ......"
Before Zhao Yu could shout, the object suddenly sank down and rushed straight to Zhao Yu below.
"Ah......h
His shouting instantly alarmed the other companions, and they all looked towards Zhao Yu's side.
The monster was already about to rush to Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu hurriedly dodged to the side, and the monster pounced.
"Ah...... Ah......" In a panic, Zhao Yu threw away the staff in his hand, and the aura in his body was also regulated.
"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting shouted in disgrace. Not far from Zhao Yu, she saw a monster in the shape of a spider.
What is this? Shen Mengting instinctively thrust the torch into the ground. She took advantage of the situation to draw the sword in the rear and make a fighting stance.
"There's something! there's danger!" Chen Tianhao glared at him fiercely, and he retreated towards the cave wall. He also pulled Jiang Jingwen's arm and made her step back together.
Qian Hao also ripped off the longbow, which was his habitual action when he was in danger.
"What's going on?" Qian Hao looked at Zhao Yu's side.
"Something is approaching!" Shen Mengting was about to swing her sword at the monster and slash it.
Zhao Yu gasped, and after he woke up from his panic, he carefully observed the monster that suddenly attacked. Although the light was not very strong, he was able to get a pretty good view of the monster.
The monster doesn't look like a spider, but it has dozens of legs. The legs are no longer under the monster, but stick to the front of it, like tentacles.
And that's not all. The monster's body seems to be a little transparent, and it doesn't seem to be a normal creature. However, like many beasts, the monster's mouth slowly flows a viscous liquid, which looks like disgusting saliva.
What the hell is this? Zhao Yu's right hand emitted the light of the law system.
The monster was about to pounce on Zhao Yu again, only to see it push two of its tentacles to the ground, and then jump into the air. Its beating trajectory naturally pointed straight to Zhao Yu's side.
"Zhao Yu, beware!" Shen Mengting quickly rushed towards Zhao Yu as well, "That's the Shadow Demon! an extremely sinister creature. ”
Shadow Demon?Zhao Yu drew this term in his heart. He was very unfamiliar with creatures like the Shadow Demon. No, I should say he didn't understand what it was.
Just as Zhao Yu was thinking wildly, the Shadow Demon was already about to pounce on him. He quickly activated the energy in his body and released a mana bullet.
However, just after the mana bullet came out of his hand, it was easily dodged by the monster!
"Ahh He had time to call for help, and the Shadow Demon was already in front of his eyes.
Zhao Yu's body suddenly relaxed.
But just as he was about to give up, a ray of light burst out of his perspective. The light struck the Shadow Demon directly, knocking the monster elsewhere.
And at the base of the trajectory where the light shoots out, is Qian Hao with a longbow. Obviously, Qian Hao shot a light arrow just now!
"Is it faster than me?" Qian Hao's mouth moved slightly, "You monster is still tender!"
Of course, Qian Hao's words were not just for the Shadow Demon, he hoped to use this to tell Chen Tianhao on the side. As an archer, he shoots arrows at a speed that is not at all worthy of an assassin.
Chen Tianhao understood what this meant, he hugged Jiang Jingwen who was held hostage, and the corners of his mouth were hooked to one side.
"Zhao Yu, are you okay!" Shen Mengting had already come to Zhao Yu's side, she grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and shook it quickly.
Zhao Yu woke up from the crisis just now. He looked at Shen Mengting blankly, and finally revealed, "Shen ...... Miss Shen Mengting!"
"Stay back! Hide behind me!" Shen Mengting pushed Zhao Yu back with her hand, and she herself stood in front of the Shadow Demon.
The Shadow Demon howled on the ground after receiving an arrow of light.
Shen Mengting defiantly smashed the giant sword in her hand to the ground. The movement made this monster squirm.
"You're coming, you're coming at me!"
The Shadow Demon was a little weak when facing Shen Mengting, and it didn't rush to Zhao Yu as soon as it did.
Actually, this is normal, the Shadow Demon is a terrifying and deformed creature. But its height is only about fifty centimeters, which is obviously weaker than a normal human.
The Shadow Demon continued to make a beast-like sound, but it didn't pounce. It just moved its body slowly, as if in circles around people.
Qian Hao also rushed over at this time, he pulled the bowstring, and leaned next to Shen Mengting.
"This thing is also bullying and bullying Zhao Yu, it has no means of attack, and there are not many threats!" As soon as he said that, a light arrow appeared in Qian Hao's longbow.
"I know this!" Shen Mengting put the giant sword in her hand in the right position, and the blade was also pointed at the Shadow Demon. Then, she leaned her head towards Qian Hao, "Hey, I'll tell you the tactics! Later, you can shoot an arrow of light to attract its attention." Then I'll just hack it to death!"
"Huh?" Qian Hao's body shook after hearing this, "What? I've come to attract its attention?"
"What's wrong?
"Why am I here to attract it, not you to attract the monster's attention? Anyway, the light arrow in my hand is fast! you should get its attention, and then I shoot an arrow to kill it!"
Shen Mengting was stunned in an instant, "Why do you even have to argue with me about this! Whoever attracts attention and who results in it, isn't it all the same? As long as you can kill it!"
"yes! Then let me solve it!" Qian Hao's appearance with his bow was even more dashing.
"You ......"
It's a useless argument again, but it's because of the passage of seconds. The shadow demon seemed to sense something, and it pressed down on the ground, saliva coming out of its mouth even more.
Over time, the Shadow Demon's body changed significantly, becoming more transparent, and there was an illusion that people couldn't touch.
Shen Mengting noticed this, she jerked down the sword in her hand, and the word 'bad' came out of her mouth.
The Shadow Demon didn't attack again, it ran to the side. The cavern was filled with darkness, and its unnoticeable body. Soon, the Shadow Demon became one with the darkness.
"What?" Qian Hao took a step forward in shock.
"I can't see it! it's still quite cunning!" Shen Mengting also stomped her little foot.
Zhao Yu looked around in a panic, he knew that even if he couldn't see the shadow demon on the surface. But the monster never left, and Zhao Yu could feel its aggressive aura.
Sure enough, the 'squeak' sound from the Shadow Demon sounded again, and it hid around the person, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
"Damn! it plays tricks with us!" Qian Hao looked around with a blank look.
"It knows that it won't end well with us, so it's ready to carry out a sneak attack!"
As Shen Mengting spoke, the Shadow Demon's cries seemed to fill the cavern.
Zhao Yu's breathing has always been like a pumping machine, squeezing his chest again and again. He listened to the sound of the monster that had just attacked him, and his whole body became a little paralyzed.
'Just prepare for a sneak attack!' Zhao Yu remembered Shen Mengting's words.
However, even knowing the trick that the monster was about to do was difficult to deal with completely. Because they don't know who the Shadow Demon's next step is to sneak attack?
If according to Zhao Yu's thinking, the average enemy who wants to sneak attack first must be the weakest one in the team.
Unconsciously, Zhao Yu thought of himself. He was the weakest of the team, and he couldn't even catch up on the road.
That is to say......
There was a wave of worry, hovering above Zhao Yu's head and heart.
