The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 337 The Manticore's Ambush
Section [-] Ambush of the Manticore
William shouted loudly: "Yasuna, you and Finia stay here, Ms. Tabari and I go in to check." He was a little worried and left Tabari outside with the two little guys. Because this woman who has lived for an unknown number of years obviously has other thoughts.

William took out another bucket of clean water and put it on the ground, and said, "I'm not sure how long I need to stay in there, but I will get out as soon as possible. Misha, you are in charge of supervising, don't let Yasuna and Phiniya be consumed too quickly This bucket of water."

Being able to be assigned a task by her brother is definitely a dream for Mi Shaer. She jumped up excitedly, climbed up to the top of the wooden barrel in two or three steps, stood on it with a fine gold rapier, and said solemnly : "I will take good care of this bucket of clear water, my brother William. Anyone who wants to get it must go through the consent of my sword."

"I believe you are trustworthy, my sister." The words of encouragement from William made Misha'er intoxicated. She danced and nearly fell off the barrel until another competitor pushed her off the top.Whatever Misha did, there was always an imitator beside her, and Miluna mounted the barrel and performed the same, and enjoyed it, though it was not as much appreciated by William as she had hoped, Because William had already got into that deep crack.

William slid lightly along the rock wall into the crevice, and he took a deep breath. The air in the crevice was not dull, with a slight humidity, indicating that the front was not closed, and the air could flow smoothly. .Although the rock crevice was pitch black, it didn't have much impact on William's vision. The special spectral vision gave him the ability to see things in the dark.William walked quietly and carefully for a short distance, and found that the rock cracks became narrower and narrower, and the terrain tended to rise gradually.Moreover, the stone wall under his feet was very smooth, as if it had been specially polished.

At this time, Tabari also bent down and got in. It seemed that the female arcanist also had the ability to see in the dark, but she didn't know whether it was the effect of magic or she also had a pair of night vision eyes.Tabari caught up and said: "This section of the road is a sand-proof tunnel that has been artificially transformed earlier. This inverted terrain can effectively prevent the intrusion of sand and soil. The section that is further ahead is the downward passage."

At the beginning, the terrain of the passage of more than ten feet gradually increased, but then it gradually descended. The surrounding dark and cold stone walls gave people a feeling of oppression and discomfort.William had already put away his warhammer. Holding the iron shield in one arm, he bent his body and walked through the narrow stone passage unhurriedly. Tabari followed closely behind, holding a one-handed magic crossbow in each hand.

This narrow road is more than a hundred feet long, but it gradually widens after that, and the terrain has a clear downward trend.After walking for about a few cups of tea, William found that the surrounding stone walls began to show irregular cracks and gaps, and the gravel and intermittent stalactites under his feet made it difficult to move forward.

Although William's body was huge and heavy, he walked silently, giving people a sense of disobedience of ghosts and ghosts.But the sound of kicking gravel kept echoing in his ears, William stopped and looked back at Tabari.

Seeing that William was no longer moving forward, the female arcanist stopped for some unknown reason, and the sound of kicking gravel also stopped.Tabari asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

William said: "Your footsteps can be heard several kilometers away. You'd better have a useful spell to cover it, otherwise it will only alert the monsters here in advance."

Tabari smiled slightly, but it was difficult to distinguish people's expressions under dark vision, and William didn't see it.Tabari smiled and said: "Of course I know that the monsters here will be disturbed. However, in the wild magic area like Ennook (wild magic area: also called frenzied magic area, it refers to some areas that are caused by the distortion of the magic net. area cannot cast spells normally), instead of wasting precious spell slots to cover up the sound of walking, it is better to save your life at a critical moment. Besides, with you in front, I don’t think anything can break through your defense and hurt me , unless you deliberately release water while fighting."

William snorted noncommittally, turned his head and continued walking, but Tabari provocatively said behind his back: "William, tell me, will you deliberately release water when we are attacked, and put me in danger?" situation?"

William said with some displeasure as he walked: "I think that although I am not a good person in my life, I can't do such an ugly act of betraying my comrades-in-arms on the battlefield. As long as I stand in front of you, you can play with yours with confidence." Fancy stuff."

Tabari asked in an exaggerated tone pretending to be skeptical: "Really? But I'm still a little worried, can you promise again? You promise to do your best to protect me and not let me suffer any harm. Can you swear? Just a small oath"

"Enough! Stop your tricks!" William was really impatient, he turned and shouted at the female arcanist, "If you are really worried, you can quit now. But don't play tricks in front of me , once your behavior exceeds my warning line"

"What will happen to you? Will you kill me? Just like killing a poor little animal?" Tabari's pretending to be pitiful just drove William crazy, and he regretted being with this damned woman more and more. Traveled.

Tabari deliberately teased William for a while, but stopped before William completely lost his mind.She said: "Let's get straight to the point. William, you've been on my guard. You don't trust me, or anyone. You're too defensive. I don't know how to win you over." trust, but you must go to Inleento—it is your destiny. Moro. Ah—"

While the two were talking, William suddenly felt something strange, and suddenly there was the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air around him.Everything happened so fast, William only had time to cover his and Tabari's vitals with the iron shield, the sound of four consecutive crossbow bolts striking the iron shield, William had to take a step back to relieve the impact due to the powerful impact .

William was too careless, distracted by a discordant conversation with Tabari, making him ignore a possible crisis.William was not harmed, but he guessed that something was wrong with Tabari, because William heard a total of six crossbow bolts piercing the air.

William didn't have time to check on Tabari's injuries, because he had already spotted the enemy who was sneaking up.To William's surprise, it was not a humanoid creature holding a crossbow, but a huge beast.It was a monster with a head resembling a humanoid animal face, a lion's body, and dragon wings. There was a row of arc-shaped thorns on the monster's back, shining with a strange luster.

William had never seen such a strange looking beast, but the next move of the monster was even more unexpected. The monster could speak.The monster roared like a lion: "Human! Either defeat me and let me tame! Or become my food—"
