The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 382 Am I an amphibious operation?

A very strange visitor, with strange looks and strange behavior.Seeing it, an insect—a praying mantis—immediately appeared in William's mind.

Let’s call it the mantis monster. Its head is like an enlarged mantis head, with a triangular head, a crown of bones on the top of the head, a pair of huge and ferocious jaw-like mouthparts, a slender body, and a pair of arthropod-like arms. And a pair of locust feet (rear thighs similar to locusts), with barbs at the joints.

The mantis monster was carrying a pair of bone machetes with jagged blades and many barbs on the back, which looked very ferocious. William knew it was a strong enemy the first time he saw it.

It was a little difficult for William to confirm the origin of the mantis monster in front of him.

But he knew the terrifying existence of another kind of praying mantis, and the information came from the memory bank "gifted" by the aboleth.

It is said that in the depths of the mysterious Underdark, there exists a terrifying insect-like creature named Swordwing Mantis because of the scimitar-shaped blade at the front of one arm.Sword-winged mantises are terrifying assassins. They are born as extraordinary species (legendary species, similar to natural level 20+), and they are terrifying existences standing at the apex of the food chain.

Sword-winged mantises are excellent collectors, amassing rare items and storing them in huge lairs by category.Like petrels, they build their nest towers by chewing up building materials. From a distance, the nest towers look like pale stalactites or stalagmites, but in fact, their structures are as solid as rocks.

When a sword-winged mantis satisfies a certain quality, it can obtain a metamorphosis. Its forearm scimitar-shaped blade will fall off by itself, and then regenerate a scimitar-shaped arm blade with the power of death. This is the crown-winged mantis.

The mantis monster in front of him didn't have arm blades, but had a pair of terrifying scimitars. William clearly felt the danger of a scimitar, which was the smell of death.

This may represent a terrible fact that the monster in front of him may have completed its second transformation.

Of course, these so-called terrible information could not dampen William's fighting spirit. When the mantis monster came not far from William, he gently pulled out his battle gun and pointed it at the mantis monster.

The mantid stopped in its tracks, stared at William for a while with its icy compound eyes, and then said in a hoarse voice as if rubbing broken boards: "Reptiles? Do you want to block the footsteps of the great Three Fools?"

William raised his eyebrows and said: "I didn't expect you to be a talking guy. I don't want to stop you. I feel the fatal death (common language) on your weapon. My family is behind me. They have suffered I can't live with this danger. I hope you can stop your steps, or take a detour."

"It's a bold idea! Ignorant reptile!" The mantis monster laughed silently. It shook its two knives, and suddenly jumped forward. Its vicious momentum caught people off guard.But this does not include William. He had already anticipated the opponent's sudden attack, and only relying on his own intuition, he stabbed a two-foot-long spear out quickly. A ball of light can barely block the sudden attack of the mantis monster.

The mantis monster attacked and killed William, and William blocked the circle as if they were attacking each other. It seemed that neither side took any advantage.However, William knew very well that he was the one who suffered the most. The Zhang Er spear was supposed to be an invincible weapon, but now it was in a stalemate with the mantis monster's pair of scimitars. Although it seemed to block the attack of the two knives , but can't break through the opponent's limit. In this case, William consumes much more physical strength than the opponent. If he really wants to continue to consume like this, he can't be exhausted alive here.

It was a similar situation in the real mirror image battle between William and Monaco III. If he hadn't taken the initiative by surprise, he would have been smothered alive by that guy under normal circumstances.Of course, when William replayed the game later, he found that his risky move seemed a bit redundant at that time, because the main body of Monaco III could no longer support it. As long as William delayed for a while, the real mirror image would naturally die. Then it collapsed.

However, most of these so-called replays are like afterthoughts, and they cannot be completely taken seriously. At least William took a risky attack and successfully won the victory, and the impact of this victory was far beyond his imagination. .

Seeing that he couldn't gain an advantage with a gun, William suddenly shouted loudly and stomped his feet on the ground. The whole person jumped up and flew more than three feet high. The praying mantis monster fell down.

In mid-air, William dropped his gun and drew the knife, and the blade of the Autumn Water Broken Dream Knife shook, making a melodious "Zheng" sound.William fit together and turned into a mass of sword lights, and went straight to the mantis monster who rushed up again.

The sound of Qiushui knife and machete colliding is not pleasant, it can even be said to be very unpleasant, because the two sides are fighting very fast, it sounds a bit like the sound of a broken chainsaw sawing rotten wood, and at the same time, it is accompanied by some debris. No sawdust, it was the sharpness brought by the mantid monster's bone scimitar, which couldn't withstand the fine gold material of Qiushui knife, and it was the residue that was destroyed by cutting.

It was precisely because the speed of the fight between the two sides was too fast, by the time the mantid realized something was wrong, William's autumn water knife had already chiseled more than 20 knives on the bone machete.The distressed praying mantis couldn't help but let out a piercing hiss. It hurriedly jumped and retreated, but the direction of this fellow's retreat was not very good. It was the direction to go deep into the oasis. How dare William relax his oppression on it, otherwise Really let this monster break into it, no matter who it meets in his family, it's not just a matter of raising a knife and falling.

So William also exploded with all his strength, chasing and slashing the mantis monster every step of the way, killing like glue like paint, inseparable, and sprinkled countless bone chips along the way.

The mantis monster was heartbroken with regret at this time, thinking how did he meet such a lunatic?Still a very, very powerful lunatic!It's still entangled, isn't it?

Seeing that the mantis monster could not get rid of William's pursuit on the ground, it was shocked, and saw two pairs of membranous wings protruding from its back, and the transparent wing membranes flashed a metallic luster.As soon as it vibrated its membrane wings, it jumped up to a height of more than three feet, and then glides quickly.

The mantis monster showed an indistinguishable vicious smile, and it was about to say something, but the following changes made the poor monster almost fall headfirst.

I saw a pair of wings protruding from William's back, but they were snow-white like swan-like wings, and then saw William fluttered his wings and chased after him at an even faster speed.

The fight between the two sides continued in mid-air, but William was not used to flying combat after all, and his speed of using the knife was greatly slowed down. He just relied on his wings to fly faster than the mantis monster, and launched a slightly clumsy guerrilla warfare .

In this way, one person and one mantis monster killed through the entire oasis. William stopped the pursuit until he got out from the other side of the oasis, and then watched the mantis monster retreat nearly a hundred yards before slowing down Slowly fell to the ground.

While retracting the wings behind him, he spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and cursed secretly: Damn it!You really can't deal with this guy without getting chicken wings!It seems that I have to practice aerial warfare in the future!Otherwise, if you encounter another hard stubble, you may have to suffer a lot.
