The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 344 Sebes Lizard

William finally regained consciousness from the unconscious coma. He opened his eyes, but there was darkness in front of him—his eyes had automatically exited the dark vision state.

His brain is now in chaos, and countless information is impacting his chaotic consciousness, which is the sequelae of the [mind link] with the aboleth.

William took a deep breath, trying to calm down his beating heart, so that his brain could be clearer, but he didn't want to, but he was almost fainted by an unimaginable stench.

It is a kind of odorous poisonous gas formed by the fermentation of carrion, feces, and various underground filth.In fact, William was awakened by the smell, and his body instinct sent a warning to his subconscious mind-this smell would cause damage to the body.

"What the hell kind of place is this?" William soon realized that he was in some kind of biological lair, with all kinds of corpses, bones and dirty excrement under his feet.

William knew that he had to leave here quickly, otherwise no matter how strong his physique was, he would be suffocated to death by the stench and poisonous gas sooner or later.

The owner of this cave is almost as dirty as a stupid goblin, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely an existence that goblins need to look up to, because William found a large number of bones of sand wolves and sand lizards on the ground. From the looks of it, the murderer who killed them must be a strong and ferocious creature.

Blind wandering is not a wise move. Although it is possible to miraculously find the way back to the surface, it is more likely to go in the wrong direction, sinking deeper and deeper in this underground world, and eventually run out of food and water Instead, it becomes a pile of rotting bones or the excrement of underground monsters.

But William didn't want to sit still. Since he didn't know anything about this underground world, he could only push all his sensory attention to the limit, trying to find a way out of this strange and dangerous cave shrouded in poisonous gas. .

William fumbled for a while, and the air in the cave gradually became less foul-smelling, and some slightly fluorescent moss gradually appeared on the surrounding walls and ceiling.With the help of this kind of fluorescent moss unique to the underground, William can already vaguely see the environment he is in.

Fluorescent moss is a kind of shimmering plant unique to the underground. They can use their own energy and luminous tissues to emit a faint shimmer of light, bringing precious "light" to the underground world.However, this light is an unbearable visual stimulus for most of the natives who have long been accustomed to the dark underground world. In severe cases, it may even lead to temporary blindness.

In fact, including the previous rancid gas and these fluorescent mosses, they are relatively effective defensive traps in the underground world.It can be seen that the owner here must be an existence with extremely high intelligence.

Sure enough, William soon saw the owners here, a group of fierce and powerful lizardmen.When he saw the lizardmen, the fetid monsters were fighting the Manticore.

The manticore, once famous for its evil and ferocity, is being violently beaten by three strange-looking lizardmen at the moment. The long spiny tail that the manticore is famous for has been broken off, and its wide wings have also been crushed. One was torn and pulled like a ragged sail without support.

The lizardmen who fought against the manticore looked very sturdy. Although they looked a head shorter than William in height, their bodies were almost half as thick as him. Their natural thick horny scales could hardly conceal their desire to expand. cracked wild muscles; behind them drag a thick and flexible spine-like tail - which is no less deadly than the fangs and claws of the lizardmen, except that the mouth is a little smaller, and the sharp claws on the upper limbs After a while, the appearance of these lizard people is exactly like a runaway crocodile walking upright.

The three sturdy lizardmen were covered with jagged spikes—they used to grow on the manticore's back and tail, and dots of fluorescent body fluid seeped out from the spikes.Regardless of the pain on their bodies, they screamed wildly, but cooperated cunningly and kept attacking the Manticore.

The lizardmen's little tactics are very wonderful. Two lizardmen are in charge of feint attack. It seems that they have left a deep impression on the Manticore lion from the very beginning. Their attack almost drew all the attention of the Manticore lion. The lizardmen seized the opportunity to launch a fruitful raid, leaving three deep gashs each on the manticore's abdomen and hind legs (the lizardmen have only four toes on their palms, with the big toe facing the other three) .

Blood gurgled from the wound and fell to the ground, where there was already a lot, new warm blood mixed with previous cold blood,
The wounded Manticore hissed miserably. It roared in despair. It had already lost the cunning it should have as an evil predator. It instinctively and recklessly fought back. It opened its mouth to bite the attacker, but it was feinted by the other two. The attacker took the opportunity to attack successfully.

The manticore has obviously lost its fighting spirit, it is just struggling.But the lizardmen didn't want to end it like this. After confirming that the manticores were still unable to make a comeback, they obviously slowed down their attacking rhythm, and the damage they caused was no longer so deadly. The lizardmen were deliberately torturing their prey. The prey is full of interest, especially the dying fear of those powerful prey, which is simply the most wonderful psychedelic stimulant for these cold-blooded races. .

Although William didn't trust the Manticore very much, he would not just watch the Manticore being tortured and killed.William took a deep breath, bowed his body and dashed out, punching the head of a lizard man whose back was facing him.

William's fist is heavy. With his current physical strength and explosive power, even if it is a tiger, if it is hit by his heavy punch, it will end up with its internal organs shattered and killed on the spot.

But when William's fist hit the lizardman's head, he immediately felt something was wrong.The lizardmen's heads are really too strong, especially the thick layer of horny scales covering their body surface, which is tough and elastic, and William feels like punching a rubber tire.

The vitality of the lizardman is indeed tenacious. Although the first lizardman was knocked into the air by a few steps and hit the stone wall, he was dizzy, bleeding from his orifices, and his brain temporarily lost the ability to think, but he still struggled and refused to fall down. , staggering from side to side like a drunk alcoholic.

However, William didn't stop attacking because the result of the battle didn't meet the expected goal—he originally wanted to smash the lizard man's head with a punch.William replaced the force with a fiercer and more destructive scorching fire, poisonous energy, and punched two Lizardmen on the back in succession. The punches were as fast as lightning, but the impact was as gentle as a breeze.

William's attack this time was unexpectedly effective. The lizard man who was severely injured by the dark energy turned around stiffly, with unbelievable pain and confusion in the cold and ruthless eyelids, and a dull roar, from the crocodile shape A stream of steaming blood sprayed out of his mouth, with a strong stench and burnt smell.

The fire-poisonous dark energy destroyed their internal organs and respiratory system, and the dying lizardmen let out a roar with difficulty: "Sebis!——"
