The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 42 Monster Battlefield!reward

A scavenging beast (Gravorg) woke up from its hidden underground lair. It smelled a strange smell from afar. This cunning underground beast first looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly, and ran away excitedly after confirming that there was no danger. Leaving the lair, it quickly and clumsily ran towards the source of the smell, but it did not let down its vigilance. The scavenger would stop suddenly at every suspicious turn, camouflage with the help of the protective color on its body, until it was sure that there was nothing wrong with it. Dangerously so far.

This large carnivorous wild animal is different from another subterranean scavenger (Otugh), which is stronger and more greedy.The four-legged, sloth-like monster was ten feet long, and its fur was a mixture of white, gray, and black markings that gave it the resemblance of a boulder when at rest.In order to forage, this scavenger can run from one dungeon or cave to another dungeon far away, and the places it passes leave only bones and broken and scattered equipment.

Gravorg is a large magical beast. Although it has sharp teeth and claws, Gravorg seldom uses them for self-defense. Instead, it uses them to tear apart the food corpses it has already got. It prefers to use itself spell-like abilities to hunt.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the scavenging beast excitedly tapped its claws on the stone wall, but its slow speed seriously restricted the number of prey it could obtain, because there were too many scavenging monsters in the underground world.

The scavenger passes through a narrow mine at the fastest speed. In fact, it does not like to walk through such a narrow space, which is not conducive to its natural ability. The scavenger prefers large, tall and wide Space and territory, but hunger and greed overcame its sanity.

When this beast stepped into the battlefield, several scavengers who were eating big pieces suddenly screamed in panic.These multi-legged, jointed, eight-nine-foot-long monsters look like a hybrid of green cabbage worms and cephalopods. Eight slender tentacles extend from the lower jaw of the carrion worm's head, each Each tentacle is about two feet long, and the end of the tentacle secretes a paralyzing sticky substance.This large strange monster with extremely keen vision and sense of smell detected the approach of the scavengers very early on. They desperately twisted their fat bodies to try to escape, but the speed of the scavengers slowed down due to swallowing too much food. Like a cow.Seeing the scavengers getting closer, the scavengers had to gather together, waving their tentacles in an attempt to warn their opponents not to approach.

The scavenger (Gravorg) is not a qualified pursuer, after all, its running speed is relatively too slow, and the scavenger is more accustomed to using its unique spell-like ability to ambush and attack.However, the scavenger that eats too much is obviously slower, and the scavenger approaching a certain distance excitedly activated its innate ability, and immediately all the surrounding objects, including the scavenger, the few kobold corpses left, and the kobold The wreckage, equipment fragments, and various broken stones all floated to the top of the tunnel, and then suddenly lost their support and fell down naturally.

Holding a kobold corpse and constantly tearing and beating the scavenger, the scavenger kept activating and canceling its own spell-like spells. All objects in the tunnel with the scavenger as the center and within [-] feet around it were like a group of ruins. Like a rag doll being raised and dropped.The tunnels were only fourteen or fifteen feet high. Although the scavengers' spell-like ability knocked the scavengers to pieces, it obviously couldn't cause them too much damage.

As highly aggressive underground scavenging monsters, the irritated scavenging insects are not just waiting to die. They wave their tentacles and approach the scavenging beasts with difficulty, trying to use their unique paralysis ability to restrain them.The scavenger that ate up the few remaining kobold corpses set its sights on the struggling and roaring scavenger. Although it can use its natural abilities at will, it will consume the energy of the scavenger after all. It began to attack one of the scavengers with its sharp claws, but its poor melee skills let it down, and the paralyzing tentacles of the scavengers whipped and entangled it.

William and the others encountered many strange monsters on the way back, and most of these monsters avoided the excavation team hastily.However, there were still a small number of violent monsters who attacked everyone. Of course, the fate of these overwhelmed monsters was extremely tragic. They were either chopped into cold corpses by Phinia's ice giant axe, or smashed into flesh by the tyrannical dwarves. Sauce.

When everyone approached the battlefield where they encountered the kobolds, an extremely strong smell of blood and a strange stench rushed over their faces.Singers' face immediately changed, and he roared in panic, "Damn it! It's scavengers! These brainless evil bugs!" Apparently, Singers recognized the source of the weird stench.

Scavengers are the subterranean foe of dwarves, and the paralyzing tentacles of these fetid monsters are a source of fear to all melee fighters, though the tentacles do no damage other than paralysis.Fortunately, dwarves can be alerted in advance by their body odor.

But William and the others didn't back down, they didn't want to return empty-handed, especially William's strength gave everyone enough confidence, of course Singers believed in William's fire power, although he didn't like magic, but the dwarf admitted that The power of mysterious power.But within a day, the corpses of sixty or seventy kobolds had all been devoured by the scavengers, leaving only broken spears and wreckage all over the ground, but the meatball in front of them shocked everyone even more.

The scavengers finally tasted what it means to be aggrieved today!If it were to change the environment, even if there were ten times more scavengers, it would not be its single enemy, but today it was beaten to death by just four monsters in this narrow tunnel.The scavengers were also killed and one seriously injured, and the remaining two slightly injured fled the scene after victory, because their paralyzed tentacles were almost pulled out by the scavengers.

The bad scene made the two little guys hide far away, and William and Singers approached the monster's body with torches and bull's-eye lanterns.

"It's scavengers! This group of disgusting bugs! It looks like a fierce battle!" Singers held his nose and looked at the tangled monster in surprise.The paralyzing tentacles of scavengers are extremely valuable magic materials. It is said that the poison of the paralyzing arrows of the dark elves of the underground comes from them, and the mages on the surface also love this precious and scarce item.The severely injured scavengers also slowly lost their vitality, and William chopped off the only two remaining tentacles.

"What an unexpected harvest! Haha! I can almost smell the aroma of the vat of high-quality ale!" The one-eyed dwarf excitedly carried the leather bag containing the paralyzing tentacles of the scavengers. Except for the eight tentacles that were crushed into meat paste, William Together with Singers, they found ten complete tentacles and nine half-ends.

None of William and the others knew the more precious scavenging beast, but now the group faced a more difficult problem, whether they should return to Mirabar City or move on.If you move forward, the thick blood here will attract more unknown monsters. According to the horror of scavengers mentioned by Singers, they are likely to face greater danger. No one can tell the truth about the underground world. How many kinds of ferocious and dangerous monsters are lurking in the end.But the purpose of this trip has not been achieved, and he is a little unwilling to go back like this. Singers is also in a dilemma.

Looking at the little girl behind, William decided to return to Mirabar. This place is too dangerous for the little guy, and maybe something weird will appear.Now that he decided to go back, Singers didn't want to return empty. Several people were firmly opposed to bringing the stinky carcass of the scavengers, so the body of the scavengers washed with clean water became the ultimate spoils of war.

There are special magic item shops in Mirabar, which are run by the Mercenary Association or other organizations. The magic item shops will buy some magical items and materials that adventurers accidentally get during the journey, but they don’t need them, or release some Material collection announcements for wizards, and of course they occasionally sell expensive magic items.

The return of Singers and others caused quite a commotion. At this time, foreign merchants gathered, and the strange stench on the bodies of several people (mainly William, Singers and the contaminated scavenger) made the young Some of the onlookers understood the monsters they encountered, and the comments of these people made others admire Singers and William. This is an era of braves and heroes. People respect and praise those powerful warriors and their heroes. deeds.

When Sunderland got the news, William and others who had already rushed to the entrance of the magic item shop were surrounded by visitors. Singers' friend, the commander of the Ax of Mirabar, Togg Danzo Hammer He is commanding his soldiers to maintain order.
