The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 342 From the Shadow in the Water

To deal with large swarms of small monsters like ants and maggots, using fire attack is undoubtedly the best choice.

Although Tabari talked about the power of the curse fire and warned William not to abuse it, he didn't take it seriously.

William's strength was obtained through his hard work bit by bit. Even if it came from the flame power in his blood, William had gradually explored it from weak to strong.This is completely different from the traditional warlocks and mages of Faerun.

The traditional spellcasters of Faerun, except for some very few beings who are born with innate spell-like abilities, most of them need the power of the magic net to use magic. As far as their real power is extremely limited.They study the magic net, explore the magic net, borrow the power of the magic net, and at the same time have worship, desire, greed, and fear of the magic net... In the final analysis, their power is borrowed, but the power that William possesses is completely his own power.

This is like two people with a huge sum of money, one of which is completely their own and can spend it as they like; the other is a loan from a bank. The investment was in vain.

But when William released the first flame, he was completely shocked by this terrifying ultimate power.It can be said that William's heart is not weak, but he is still shocked by the power of this extraordinary flame.

William discovered that a big difference between the cursed fire and ordinary flames is that the lethality of the cursed fire does not come from the super high temperature she emits. In fact, the temperature of the cursed fire used by William is even higher than that of the most common flame. Candlelight is also slightly inferior, so the method of killing the cursed fire is not to destroy the molecular structure of the target with high temperature, but in a form that William can't understand.There is no stench of burnt flesh, no smoky choking, all the ant maggots affected by the flames seem to be weathered by the years and the curse of aging, gradually dry up and sand, and finally turn into fine dust and drift with the wind.

After sweeping away all the ant maggots that could be found, the cursed fire in the sky did not go out because there was no burning medium. Instead, it shrank into a fist-sized small fireball with a slightly darker color, and floated tremblingly towards William.

In this dark underground cave, the small fireball looks inconspicuous, like a faint candle flame, casting a hazy halo on the surrounding palm-sized space.William stretched out his palm and held the cursed fireball in his palm. The fireball exuded a faint warmth, which spread into the flesh and blood through the palm of his hand, as if some strange vitality had been injected into it, which made people intoxicated.

William held the fire ball in one hand, but noticed that the manticore next to him was staring at him with a face of fear, staring at the flame in his hand that kept retreating, as if it was the most terrifying source of evil in the world.

With a movement in William's heart, he clasped his palms together and crushed the fireball, bursting out a brilliant spark that spread all over his body.Those sparks flickered on and off, and finally dissipated into the air.

The bleak darkness returned to the underground cavern, and suddenly a light of fire flashed again, but it was William who lit the bull's-eye lantern again, and the bright light broke through the dull dark area and illuminated the rough and dark road ahead.Compared with the cursed fire just now, this light lacked some indescribable mysterious atmosphere, but it still startled the Manticore who wanted to approach.The Manticore growled lowly at William who was holding a lantern to express his dissatisfaction, and then slowly followed with four paws.

The appearance of ants and maggots meant that they were very close to the water source, and William drew out the autumn water knife.He knows that in the wild—especially in places with little water and drought, the area near the water source is always the most dangerous and needs to be careful. Generally, the most ferocious and terrifying predators in this area will entrenched in this area and wait for rabbits.

William is not worried about huge beasts, but more about those seemingly inconspicuous poisonous insects and ticks. Maybe these small things do not have strong muscles and sharp claws, but even a small drop of venom is enough to wipe out a strong life .

Normally, although William had the utmost vigilance against these predators lurking in the dank corners, there was no good way to do it. Even with his martial arts cultivation, he could barely protect himself from it.

However, ever since he killed Ibrando, William discovered that his sword, which was stained with the blood of God and fused with the power of the soul of God, unknowingly gave birth to an inexplicable power.The power of this power is still relatively weak. Ordinary people only feel that Qiushui Dao is sharper and more aggressive, but it has a great deterrent effect on smaller beings.

Sure enough, following William's footsteps, there were many noises around him. They were the "ambushers" lurking on William's path. These hunters in the dark have evolved an incomparable ability to hide , some of which William did not even notice before escaping.

When William came to the water source, he reached for a handful of water. The water temperature was very cold, almost as cold as winter ice, which meant that most aquatic organisms could not survive in it, including many common microorganisms.William took a small sip, and the taste was not bad. His keen senses allowed him to easily distinguish harmful substances in the water, such as certain mineral toxins.

Fortunately, the water source here is just like Tabari said, and it belongs to the category of normal drinking.William took out all the liquid-holding utensils on his body one by one and filled them with clean water.

Just as William finished fetching the water and was about to leave, he suddenly felt something strange in the water source, and a huge reef at the bottom of the water seemed to be a little closer than before.His perception was so keen, and when he sensed something was wrong, he immediately retreated away from the water source.

Perhaps because of the failure to discover the lurking, the "reef" stretched out immediately, turning into a huge fish-shaped shadow, swimming slowly at the bottom of the water, its movements twisted and twisted, which made it look more like a snake, and Not fish.

Although he was a little curious about this unknown underground monster, William thought about his family outside the burrow, so he started to retreat.Just when he turned around to greet the Manticore and was about to leave, an indescribable strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Reptiles! Killed my lambs, and you want to leave like this?"

William was sure he hadn't heard anything, that his keen senses wouldn't deceive him.It wasn't the first time William experienced the secret language of the soul, but he still purposely looked around, showing a bewildered and panicked look.

Although this action seems a bit redundant, William believes that it can confuse the existence of the unknown friend and enemy to a certain extent.

It's a pity that William's little calculation came to nothing, and he knew almost nothing about the experience of spiritual communication. "Reptile! Your ignorance and cunning delight Tabinakos, and Tabinakos almost forgets the last time he felt this way."

"Hahaha! How could Tabinakos forget the last delicious enjoyment? Tabinakos remembers it very clearly. It was the great Pascassis who conquered the nearest twelve planes Before. That delicious reptile is as ignorant and cunning as you are..."
