The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 347 The Weird Passage
The four-armed lizard man is no stranger to magic. He himself is proficient in many evocation spells related to fire. He can burn the internal organs of the Sebes lizard man to death without harming the outer skin. In cognition, there is no known evocation-type arcane method that can cause this kind of damage.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a master of the evocation department developed an arcane method that specifically burns the internal organs in a flash of inspiration.But this is a barren land of magical power——Enook, the power of Felin's magic sunflower still shrouds this great desert.

The four-armed lizardmen were intrigued by William's unique method of killing the Sebes lizardmen. It seemed that he had a high prestige among the Sebes lizardmen. The person "hissed" a few times, and the Sebes lizardmen quickly suppressed their anger and calmed down one after another.

The four-armed lizardman and his companions tidied up the body of the dead Sebes lizardman, and immediately chased after William in the direction he left.

The lingering fragrance provided the Sebes lizardmen with good tracking marks, and they were also relatively good hunters. Hunting wild beasts in the dark underground was already commonplace.
They know how to consume the prey's physical strength and reduce the prey's will to resist, so that they will not suffer too much trouble when they finally kill the prey.But the Sebes lizardmen soon discovered that they had underestimated the difficulty of this "hunt".

The four-armed lizard man and the others did not directly catch up and kill William. They controlled their speed and tried to keep a certain distance from William.Several Sebes lizardmen let out threatening roars while running. The roar of the lizardmen was relatively deep, but it had amazing penetrating power, and could be heard for more than ten miles. Moreover, the frequency of this roar May cause slight annoyance to the listener.

They intended to use this ability to exert psychological pressure on William, causing him to exhaust himself in a panic.
The four-armed lizardmen chased for more than ten kilometers, but found that William was "escaping" faster and faster, and the distance between them and them further widened. The Sebes lizardmen couldn't help but feel confident. It worked.

Not only were they guided by the scent of the brains of the Sebes lizards, the Sebes lizards knew almost everything about the terrain in this area, and they knew very well that the direction William was walking in was almost a dead end.Although the hundreds of kilometers of underground tunnels have some twists and turns, there are almost no branching exits.The lizardmen were not at all worried that they would not be able to catch up with the enemy. They did not immediately speed up their pursuit. Under normal circumstances, the prey that was running at full speed lasted at most ten kilometers, and would inevitably have to slow down due to the decline in physical strength.

After chasing for thirty or forty miles, the four-armed lizard man faintly felt that something was wrong. They found that the distance between them and the "prey" was getting wider and wider, and the speed of the other party's escape did not decrease at all, on the contrary, it was getting faster and faster. fast trend.

In order not to be left too far behind, the Sebes lizardmen had to speed up their pursuit, from trotting all the way to striding, and finally managed to keep from being thrown farther and farther away by William at a speed that was almost sprinting.

William was advancing very fast, and he completely let go of his pace without being dragged down.The way William walks is a bit weird. His pace doesn't look fast. He is as leisurely and comfortable as a lady walking in the back garden, but the distance covered by each step is more than ten feet. This is a very clever way of walking. The untold secret of ancient Taoism is called "shrinking the ground into an inch".

It is said that "shrinking the ground into an inch" can be practiced to the extreme, and you can walk tens of feet in one step, and you can travel three thousand miles a day.The untold secrets of such a high-ranking Taoist school are naturally not something that ordinary people can see. Even William in his previous life, if he wants to learn the secret method of "shrinking the ground into an inch" through normal channels, it is impossible for everyone.But the so-called everything is possible. In the previous life, the ancestral land of Taoism, Shenzhou, was fully invaded by aliens. During the war, a large number of precious cultural relics and classics were exiled. But unexpectedly, there is an ordinance recording the secret method of "shrinking the ground into an inch".

However, the records in the ordinances are too obscure, and he has only learned some superficial insights, and the starting point for the practice of the secret method is extremely high. Real immortals and the like on land are existences beyond what William could have imagined.In this life, William has only recently begun to re-enlighten and practice, and with his level of more than one step at this time, it is far from the legendary level.

However, even if it is a beginner who "shrinks the ground to an inch" and is leveling up, it is not something that four-armed lizards can underestimate.William walks through the rugged and winding underground tunnel, like a shadow, faster than a galloping horse. No underground creature has ever dared to run so blatantly in the dark underground.

The complex and changeable terrain, the ubiquitous natural traps, and the hidden predators in the dark are fatal threats to any existence walking in the dark underground.However, William had traveled more than a hundred miles at this time, but he had never encountered a threatening underground creature, and even some natural traps were rare. He began to have a very bad feeling in his heart. William suspected that he might be heading towards something. An extremely dangerous Jedi.

William has been gone for a long time, it's not that William didn't think about turning around and going back, it's just that he secretly felt that if he turned back, there might be a situation that made him extremely regretful.

William chose to trust his intuition, which may seem unwise in many cases, but William is not afraid of the exhaustion of his physical strength. The powerful body that has been carefully tempered has endowed him with unimaginable strength. At its peak.But strong strength does not necessarily equal a strong heart. Facing the unknown uncertainty, he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.

With the extension of the underground passage, the surroundings began to change. The stalactites that were hanging high above the head gradually became rarer, and some traces of similar artificial development appeared on the walls of the cave, instead of the natural appearance.

Being able to see the traces of civilization development, no matter what kind of civilization, righteous or evil, human or non-human, William still felt relieved, and the fear in his heart dissipated a lot.

William stopped and touched the wall around him, but found that the original stone wall was severely corroded, and clusters of stone powder and stone chips fell casually, revealing some "reliefs" that could barely see the original appearance, let's call them reliefs.

William sighed, even an ordinary person is enough to find something wrong here.According to the degree of weathering and corrosion of the surrounding stone walls, this amazingly long underground passage should have existed for thousands of years, and it has been sealed for thousands of years without being disturbed, otherwise the corroded surface of the stone walls It is impossible for the dust to remain so intact.

But what is incredible is that the road surface of this passage is almost clean. There is neither thick dust and floating soil nor a humus layer overgrown with grass. It does not look like no one has stepped on it for a long time.
