Chapter 72 Lost and Found

Whoosh, boom—

The sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air was like a supersonic fighter plane flying across the sky, getting closer and closer!
Wang Yao was like a frightened kitten, with his hair standing on end and cold sweat pouring down his body.

Could it be that Lu Bu was not convinced and came back to seek revenge on him? !
In fact, Lu Bu's bravery that was unmatched by ten thousand men left a big shadow in Wang Yao's heart. After truly witnessing the power of the heroes, he was already like a frightened bird!
However, Wang Yao's fear only lasted for 3 seconds.
A streak of starlight streaked violently across the sky overhead, like white thunder that seemed to tear the sky apart and pierce straight into the earth!

pat!

The high-heeled iron boots landed on the ground, stomping hard on the ground, bringing up a strong airflow, and the half-kneeling graceful white figure raised her face.

The snow-white and smooth hair seemed a little messy, and the fair and pretty face looked tired.

The one who came was not an enemy hero at all, but Luna!

swoosh-

I don’t know if it was because the friction with the air was too strong during the high-speed movement, but when Luna landed, a white mist rose from her body.

"Luluna?"

After finding out that it was a false alarm, Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little depressed thinking; with such a big commotion, could it be that Luna was using her ultimate move and rushing over here at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour?

What are you doing rushing back in such a hurry?
"Lady Luna, why are you back again?" The centurion on the side was also startled.

The centurion was not as sensitive as Wang Yao. He did not recover until Luna landed on the ground and revealed her true form.

"Ah, Captain? Well, I... um, I have something to do." Luna responded in a strange voice, and when she saw Wang Yao standing next to the captain and smiling at her, the girl seemed a little surprised.

"Why are you still here? Go back quickly."

The girl's tone was strange, and it sounded like she was reluctant to see Wang Yao at this time.

"Ah?" Wang Yao was stunned.

Wait, this opening line is not right!

If it were in the past, if Luna saw me covered in scars, with her personality, she would definitely be very considerate and comfort me, right?

And if you look closely, the girl's eyes seem to be slightly red.

"What's wrong? You"

Wang Yao was about to move closer, but Luna immediately turned away, leaving only her slender back, and said, "No, it's okay, you should go back quickly, I have something else to do."

Having said that, he walked away quickly.

what?

Looking at the girl's lonely back, Wang Yao was confused and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s used to Luna’s usual meticulous care, and that sudden indifference made Wang Yao feel a sense of loss and panic for no reason.

Wang Yao didn't know what was wrong with him, he just subconsciously left the captain behind and followed him.

Luna seemed to be looking for something along the way. Sometimes she used the mercury scimitar in her hand to pick up the debris and soil, and sometimes she squatted down to turn over the weeds. Soon, she came to the first defense tower of Wei State that they had destroyed.

"Did you drop anything?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask.

Luna trembled, as if she was frightened. No one knew what she was thinking. She didn't even notice that Wang Yao had been following her.

"Go back quickly and don't worry about me!" Luna didn't even turn her head, but instead quickened her pace.

Snapped!
Wang Yao grabbed the girl's soft hand and said with a little annoyance: "What's wrong with you? Tell me if you are unhappy!"

As he spoke, Wang Yao grabbed the girl's slender shoulders and forced her to face him. However, when he saw Luna's face, Wang Yao was stunned.

Crystal tears.

Tears as crystal clear as stars spread across the girl's fair face.

Wang Yao panicked all of a sudden. It was the first time he saw Luna cry. Luna had a soft personality and was prone to crying, but no matter how wronged she was, she had never shed a tear.

Wang Yao suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He couldn't stand girls crying, let alone Luna. He immediately wiped away the girl's tears in panic and clumsily, and comforted her repeatedly: "Don't cry, what's wrong? Did something happen?" "It's okay, it's all my fault for being too stupid." However, the more Luna wiped her tears, the more cold and crystal tears kept pouring out of her beautiful eyes.

"Did Zhang Fei scold you again?" For some reason, Wang Yao recalled the scene when Luna was scolded by Zhang Fei when he first met her.

Luna didn't say anything, she just kept crying.

"I'll go settle the score with that big idiot right now!" Wang Yao felt a nameless anger coming out of nowhere. Although he didn't know why, Wang Yao knew that Zhang Fei had always been very repulsive to "outsiders" like Luna.

"Are you worthy of a fight? Really." Holding Wang Yao who was about to go back and fight Zhang Fei, Luna couldn't help wiping away her tears and chuckled. At the same time, a seductive blush quietly appeared on her fair and pretty face.

"Don't blame General Zhang and the others. This time, it is indeed my fault."

"What do you mean?" Wang Yao stared at the girl.

"I lost something very important." She didn't know if it was Wang Yao's comfort that worked, but the girl's emotions finally stabilized.

"So what's so important? At worst I can just compensate them!" Wang Yao also calmed down a little.

"This is not something you can afford to pay for lightly."

Seeing Wang Yao's bewildered expression, Luna looked around and found that there was no one else around, so she asked softly, "What do you think of the defense tower?"

"The power is terrifying, but I'm still curious about the principle behind its unlimited output." Wang Yao turned around and looked at the defense tower that had been reduced to ruins. Thinking of the unlimited firepower coverage when attacking the tower, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"You hit the nail on the head, Ayao. You must not mention what I'm going to say next to any of the soldiers, because these things are nominally not to be known by you soldiers." Luna said with a serious face, "In fact, the reason why the defense towers can output unlimited damage is because they have a kind of energy crystal inside. It is these crystals that provide the defense towers with a constant supply of energy. At the same time, this precious and rare energy crystal is also the only resource for our heroes to upgrade."

"Upgrade?!" Wang Yao was surprised.

It was not until this time that Wang Yao was shocked to discover that the heroes in this world also needed to be upgraded!

"Yeah." Luna nodded her head and said, "Heroes also have different strengths and weaknesses. The most direct difference is the difference in level. The reason why the two countries are so keen on demolishing towers during the war is not only because the defense towers are obstacles on the route of advancement, but also because the energy crystals inside the defense towers are upgrade resources that our heroes need very much. They are very important."

At this point, Luna looked very discouraged and said, "But I was careless for a moment. After destroying the defense tower, I was suddenly summoned by the military advisor and forgot to look for the energy crystal and ran back. Now the energy crystal has probably been picked up by a soldier."

As she spoke, Luna's eyes turned red again, and she looked so pitiful as she stubbornly held back her tears.

"Well, in that case, why don't we ask the captain to call back all the soldiers from the main force and see which soldier picked it up and bring it back, right?" Wang Yao suggested.

"No!" As a result, Luna's reaction suddenly became a little strange: "You'd better not get involved in this matter. It's not good for you to know too much. Anyway, this is all my fault for being too stupid."

Wang Yao frowned, and in an instant, he understood. It seemed that the heroes were intentionally hiding the true purpose of the energy crystal from the soldiers?
Wouldn't it be nice to make it public? If the minions knew that the tower contained resources that the heroes were eager to get, maybe they would be more motivated to attack the tower!

But since Luna said so, Wang Yao was tactful and stopped asking questions. Instead, he said, "Then I'll help you look for it. Maybe the energy crystal is still buried somewhere in the ruins. What kind of thing is it?"

"It looks like a gem." Luna thought for a moment and said.

"gem?"

"Yeah, it's diamond-shaped, very beautiful."

"Red? Are there faint electric wires flowing inside?" Wang Yao asked tentatively.

"Yeah, yeah. Eh?!" Luna came back to her senses and widened her beautiful eyes: "How did you know?"

Wang Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

How could such a coincidence exist in the world?!
"You wait."

After searching for a while, Wang Yao soon found a diamond-shaped gem with a gorgeous red glow in his hand: "Take a look, is this it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the diamond-shaped crystal in Wang Yao's hand disappeared. Luna quickly snatched the red gem from Wang Yao's hand. After carefully examining it for a moment, her voice suddenly rose an octave: "That's right! Energy crystal! It's an energy crystal!"

The feeling of happiness came too suddenly, like a waterfall falling from the sky, shocking Luna so much that she was dizzy!

Even if Luna destroyed the defense tower herself and got the energy crystal, she would not be so happy. The joy of regaining something is always much stronger than simply obtaining it! !

"That's great! That's great!" Luna was so excited that she couldn't control herself. Contrary to her usual reserved behavior, she hugged Wang Yao and jumped around in surprise like a child who received a Christmas present.

"Thank you, Ayao! I love you the most!"
