The Swordsman of Faerûn

Since the Felin Sorrel was sealed, in order to revitalize the Great Desert of Ennook, the warlock kings tamed an extremely huge king of slime monsters - Lord Black Emptines, who came from the mud element The demigod of the plane is said to be one of the descendants of Gulamba (the god of the earth element) and Istisia (the god of the water element).

Lord Black Emptines is always in a state of uncontrollable hunger. He can eat any tangible substance, and then turn it into viscous mud and excrete it.Legend has it that Lord Black Empdins was the first mud-shaped monster in the entire Toril world. His birth led to a rich and beautiful plane being transformed into a filthy mud elemental plane. Originally, Black Empdin Lord Star's body is as big as a planet. After he completely infects the entire plane of his birth, almost half of the entire plane becomes a part of his body, while the remaining half is his body. excrement.

After being defeated by the Warlock Kings of Netheril, Lord Black Emptines had to delay his entry into the Pantheon, and was forced to make an unchangeable covenant——the yellow sand of Ennook will never die a day. At the end of the day, Lord Black Emptines had to break free from his bondage and return to the elemental plane of mud.

Lord Black Emptines, who was summoned to the main material plane, is actually just a clone, but he has not been able to maintain two bodies at the same time, and his main body in the mud elemental plane has to temporarily sleep .

In order to prevent this terrifying monster that could destroy the world from losing control, the warlock kings contracted the size limit and eating speed of the Great Lord Black Emptines who came to the main material plane (this makes the slime monsters) The king hates his contractors), but his clone cannot grow and expand infinitely like the main body.

For the residents of the Ennook Great Desert, the excrement of the king of slime monsters is undoubtedly the best source of oasis.The Bedai barbarian tribes are based on tribes, driving herds to follow the footsteps of the king of slime monsters (of course, it is more appropriate to describe it with a series of excrement remains)-new oases, they are constantly migrating from one oasis to another An oasis that rarely stays in the same area for long.

William and his party did not prepare enough water because they left in a hurry.William and the others underestimated the disturbance of the magical power of this land. The consumption of [Water Creation] in this desert is almost ten times that of the outside world. Reserve your strength to deal with possible emergencies in the desert.Although William has a powerful [Asylum] scepter in his hand to provide a perfect shelter every ten days, William's water storage is not optimistic.

Because according to Tabari, the places they were going to were all along the arid sand sea and wasteland, and there was no oasis for docking at all. William and the others had to find another way to find additional water sources.

"Brother, I want to drink water—" Misha'er, who was sitting on Mo Xiao's back and playing with Miluna, suddenly lifted the gauze covering her head, shaking her little head, and said abruptly.Even under the extremely dry hot wind of the Enook Desert, the little girl was still as fresh as a flower fairy in the garden of life, and there was no sign of thirst on her delicate and charming face.

William kept turning his head and asked, "Where's your kettle?"

Misha begged for a palm-sized water jug ​​from Finia next to her. The small water jug ​​was carved from the shell of a hard-shelled emerald nut and wrapped with some kind of thin and tough ivy thread. The braided straps are embroidered with gorgeous and exquisite patterns and patterns, clearly carrying the demanding and gorgeous style of the elves.

Misha'er shook the delicate little kettle in her hand, indicating that it was empty.

William looked up at the sky, there was no cloud, only the sun endlessly releasing his enthusiasm.For desert creatures, this is indispensable and in many cases fatal.

He looked at Finia who looked slightly tired behind him, and Yasuna who also looked tired, and shook his head helplessly.He took out a thick wooden barrel half as tall as a person from the ring of space, pulled out the cork, and a stream of clear water gushed out. William pulled the plug of the small kettle with his other hand and gently connected it, and the water flowed into it without leaking. In the small kettle.Although the small kettle looks small, it has a unique hole inside, and it takes half a bucket of clean water to fill it up.

When Yasuna and Finia saw William's movements, their eyes immediately brightened, and the tiredness on their faces was swept away.Sure enough, William handed over the remaining half of the barrel of clear water without hesitation, and the mother and daughter took the thick wooden barrel and drank it one after another. This scene has been performed several times today.

For creatures of the cold subspecies such as frost giants, the Great Desert of Enook is definitely an unimaginable nightmare for them. In fact, the blood of frost giants becomes very unstable above the freezing point. As a frost giant with natural frost power, its own magic resistance suppresses this, allowing the frost giant to live normally even in warm places.It's just that the Great Desert of Ennook interferes and hinders the magical power extremely powerfully. The frost giant's own magic power can no longer regulate the temperature of the body fluids normally, so Yasuna and Finia need to consume a lot of water every day to suppress their body fluids Seething pain.

William handed the small jug full of water to Misha. He knew that the jug of water would eventually be shared by Finia and Yasuna, but he couldn't refuse Misha's innocence and kindness, even if that kindness existed in many places. Time for another dose of poison.Because for William, it was the bond that Misha made him cherish and care about the most.Similarly, William could not bear to watch the two women who lived together day and night being tortured and remained indifferent. His ruthlessness only blossomed for the enemy, and his ruthlessness burned with blood.

William really didn't expect Enook's influence on Yasuna and Phinea. The clear water that was originally prepared for several months was consumed by their mother and daughter in three to five days. There is also an increasing trend of consumption.

In fact, William was not worried about their desert trip. The lack of water was a big deal and he gave up and returned to the lonely wasteland, because he felt that the danger behind him had gone away, but the road ahead felt a little uneasy.

Chapter 2 Water Sources and Spider Eaters

William deliberately ignored the cunning and pride of Misha on horseback when her little plot succeeded, and was also indifferent to the unreasonable use of clear water by the frost giant mother and daughter.Tabari, who had been leading the way, had already stopped in her tracks. Although her face was covered by a large cloak, William could still feel her disappointment and impatience.He kicked the soft sand under his feet, frowned and shouted to the female arcanist: "Miss Tabari! I think it's time for us to turn around now, our drinking water is no longer enough to support this journey."

Tabari looked back at William, and snorted coldly at Yasuna, who was wasting water recklessly. In the hot summer, the cool water spray is extraordinarily dazzling in this dry desert.

The female Arcanist coldly accused: "You spoil them too much, do you know how precious a bucket of clear water is here? In some places, it may even bring you five enchanting Bedai barbarian women. William, you shouldn't be hindered by these two aliens."

William shook his head and said: "No! I don't think my family is a burden. On the contrary, they are the meaning of my foothold on this land. We don't have enough drinking water to support us, unless we find a new water source , or we must turn back."

Tabari proudly said: "In terms of understanding of this area, I'm afraid even the gods can't compare with us. I know everything here. Enook was once a paradise for all life. The most indispensable thing here is It is the source of water, the key is that you have to know how to find it, and of course you have to have enough strength."

The biggest difference between the Enuooke Desert and other deserts is that the formation of the Enuooke Desert is due to the effect of magic, not because of drought and the transformation of the ecological environment.In fact, there is no shortage of water in this area. If you uncover the rolling yellow sand and go deep into the underground rock formation, you will find the boundless Youyu Sea (the later Youying Sea is the Youyu sea extracted by the shadow mages of Shadow City. An aboveground lake formed by the currents of the sea).

The ground of Youyu Sea and Enook are not isolated from each other. There are too many gaps and caves in the rock formations, either natural or caused by some kind of external force, to connect them together.And these gaps and caves are the most important habitats and hunting grounds for many desert creatures, except for the few poor oases in the Ennook Great Desert.

Tabari told William that near a piece of Gobi not far from where they are now, there is a crack connecting the Youyu Sea, and a small puddle is formed in the crack area not far from the ground.There lived a group of subterranean rock spiders, as well as the world of subterranean rock spiders - spider eaters.

Subterranean rock spiders are ferocious carnivorous spiders that hunt all prey they can catch, including various insects, animals, birds, and even some beasts and fish in the water.The spider-eater, on the other hand, was a predator resembling a giant two-legged wasp, known for its speed, with a pair of tiny forelimbs and huge bat wings.The body surface of spider eaters has a certain oily quality, which can make it easy to get rid of the entanglement of spider webs, and they like to lay their eggs in the bodies of arachnids.

While leading the way, Tabari introduced to William the various creatures and dangers he would encounter in that gap.When introducing the spider-eater, Tabari focused on explaining it, because the spider-eater is a domesticable flying mount. Although the flying speed of this creature is not as fast as that of eagles or pegasus, it is one of the few A mount that can be domesticated in batches.

In the great desert of Enook, there is a group of desert bandits that are disconcerting. This group of bandits rides spider-eating beasts and moves quickly like the wind. Almost all the passing merchants and all Bedai tribes nightmare.

Tabari hoped that William and the others could capture some adult spider-eating beasts near the gap, and temporarily tame them with the help of some magic props for transportation.Of course, adult wild spider-eaters can only be trained temporarily, and only unhatched spider-eater eggs are the best trophies.

It is not easy to identify the direction in the desert. There is no eye-catching or fixed sign here, but as an arcanist who has lived for many centuries, Tabari has his own secret method that is unknown.As the survivors of the Netherese, Tabari and her fellow arcanists have never given up their research on the lost homeland. It is difficult to find anyone in this world who knows more about Enoch than they do. The Great Desert exists.

The so-called Gobi is actually just a few weathered rock mounds more than ten feet high, surrounded by fine gravel and sand, and it looks like ordinary sand dunes and ravines from a distance.Without the female Arcanist leading the way, it would be hard for William to imagine that there is a hole in the sky here. Following Tabari, who is familiar with the road, a group of people came to the rock hill.

Tabari pointed to the bottom of one of the rock mounds, and said, "It's right there! It can lead directly to the crack in the underground Youyu Sea." William followed the guide and looked as far as the eye could see, but he didn't find anything special.

He waved his hand to make Yasuna and Finiya stop at the same place protecting the two little girls, and walked up to take a closer look alone.This time William finally discovered the problem. He gently pulled out the sand covering the bottom of the rock mound, and there was a layer of moss faintly on the hard stone wall.Bryophytes prefer a damp environment, and moss can appear here, indicating that they must not be far from the water source.

William removed the nearby sand and stones according to Tabari's instructions, and there were some gaps on the stone wall, and some moisture leaked from the gaps, which made William very excited.He quickly cleaned up the surrounding sand and soil, and a rock crevice more than half a person high and more than ten feet wide appeared in front of him immediately. The rock crevice was extremely damp, and standing in front of it, he could clearly feel layers of moisture coming from his face.

William stood in front of the stone wall, staring blankly at the crack in the rock, and remained silent. Tabari waited for a while, but William didn't move, so he asked, "Why don't you go in? Do you still want me to explore the way ahead?"

William shook his head and said, "There's something wrong here! In the desert, where there are places near water sources, there are bound to be many small creatures living there. Beetles, small lizards, ants, mosquitoes, etc., can't be seen here at all."

Tabari said: "This is normal. Subterranean rock spiders are the natural enemies of almost all small animals. Of course, there are no traces of them here."

William was still a little worried. He pondered for a while and asked, "I feel a little uneasy. It's too quiet in here. I'm worried that there might be some danger. How much do you know about this place?"

Tabari said indifferently: "The whole Ennoorc is under my teacher's arcane surveillance. As for this place, half a century ago, I followed a few groups of Mithr warriors a few times, and I gained a lot. There were quite a few spider-eating beast eggs. Later, because the Salamanders reawakened from their slumber, Inlentor's hands began to tense..."

I haven't visited it for more than 50 years. Who knows what monsters and monsters are there? William's face suddenly became a little ugly. He quickly pulled out a spare claw hammer, ready to deal with possible dangers.Because of Qiu Shui Knife's uncontrollable mutation, William has rarely used her.

At this time, William somewhat missed the King's Grip scepter that he missed in the treasure room in Iolum. It would be much more convenient if there was a weapon that could change its shape instead.

Chapter 3 The Manticore's Ambush

William shouted loudly: "Yasuna, you and Finia stay here, Ms. Tabari and I go in to check." He was a little worried and left Tabari outside with the two little guys. Because this woman who has lived for an unknown number of years obviously has other thoughts.

William took out another bucket of clean water and put it on the ground, and said, "I'm not sure how long I need to stay in there, but I will get out as soon as possible. Misha, you are in charge of supervising, don't let Yasuna and Phiniya be consumed too quickly This bucket of water."

Being able to be assigned a task by her brother is definitely a dream for Mi Shaer. She jumped up excitedly, climbed up to the top of the wooden barrel in two or three steps, stood on it with a fine gold rapier, and said solemnly : "I will take good care of this bucket of clear water, my brother William. Anyone who wants to get it must go through the consent of my sword."

"I believe you are trustworthy, my sister." The words of encouragement from William made Misha'er intoxicated. She danced and nearly fell off the barrel until another competitor pushed her off the top.Whatever Misha did, there was always an imitator beside her, and Miluna mounted the barrel and performed the same, and enjoyed it, though it was not as much appreciated by William as she had hoped, Because William had already got into that deep crack.

William slid lightly along the rock wall into the crevice, and he took a deep breath. The air in the crevice was not dull, with a slight humidity, indicating that the front was not closed, and the air could flow smoothly. .Although the rock crevice was pitch black, it didn't have much impact on William's vision. The special spectral vision gave him the ability to see things in the dark.William walked quietly and carefully for a short distance, and found that the rock cracks became narrower and narrower, and the terrain tended to rise gradually.Moreover, the stone wall under his feet was very smooth, as if it had been specially polished.

At this time, Tabari also bent down and got in. It seemed that the female arcanist also had the ability to see in the dark, but she didn't know whether it was the effect of magic or she also had a pair of night vision eyes.Tabari caught up and said: "This section of the road is a sand-proof tunnel that has been artificially transformed earlier. This inverted terrain can effectively prevent the intrusion of sand and soil. The section that is further ahead is the downward passage."

At the beginning, the terrain of the passage of more than ten feet gradually increased, but then it gradually descended. The surrounding dark and cold stone walls gave people a feeling of oppression and discomfort.William had already put away his warhammer. Holding the iron shield in one arm, he bent his body and walked through the narrow stone passage unhurriedly. Tabari followed closely behind, holding a one-handed magic crossbow in each hand.

This narrow road is more than a hundred feet long, but it gradually widens after that, and the terrain has a clear downward trend.After walking for about a few cups of tea, William found that the surrounding stone walls began to show irregular cracks and gaps, and the gravel and intermittent stalactites under his feet made it difficult to move forward.

Although William's body was huge and heavy, he walked silently, giving people a sense of disobedience of ghosts and ghosts.But the sound of kicking gravel kept echoing in his ears, William stopped and looked back at Tabari.

Seeing that William was no longer moving forward, the female arcanist stopped for some unknown reason, and the sound of kicking gravel also stopped.Tabari asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

William said: "Your footsteps can be heard several kilometers away. You'd better have a useful spell to cover it, otherwise it will only alert the monsters here in advance."

Tabari smiled slightly, but it was difficult to distinguish people's expressions under dark vision, and William didn't see it.Tabari smiled and said: "Of course I know that the monsters here will be disturbed. However, in the wild magic area like Ennook (wild magic area: also called frenzied magic area, it refers to some areas that are caused by the distortion of the magic net. area cannot cast spells normally), instead of wasting precious spell slots to cover up the sound of walking, it is better to save your life at a critical moment. Besides, with you in front, I don’t think anything can break through your defense and hurt me , unless you deliberately release water while fighting."

William snorted noncommittally, turned his head and continued walking, but Tabari provocatively said behind his back: "William, tell me, will you deliberately release water when we are attacked, and put me in danger?" situation?"

William said with some displeasure as he walked: "I think that although I am not a good person in my life, I can't do such an ugly act of betraying my comrades-in-arms on the battlefield. As long as I stand in front of you, you can play with yours with confidence." Fancy stuff."

Tabari asked in an exaggerated tone pretending to be skeptical: "Really? But I'm still a little worried, can you promise again? You promise to do your best to protect me and not let me suffer any harm. Can you swear? Just a small oath..."

"Enough! Stop your tricks!" William was really impatient, he turned and shouted at the female arcanist, "If you are really worried, you can quit now. But don't play tricks in front of me , once your behavior exceeds my warning line..."

"What will happen to you? Will you kill me? Just like killing a poor little animal?" Tabari's pretending to be pitiful just drove William crazy, and he regretted being with this damned woman more and more. Traveled.

Tabari deliberately teased William for a while, but stopped before William completely lost his mind.She said: "Let's get straight to the point. William, you've been on my guard. You don't trust me, or anyone. You're too defensive. I don't know how to win you over." trust, but you must go to Inlentor—this is your destiny. Moro... ah—”

While the two were talking, William suddenly felt something strange, and suddenly there was the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air around him.Everything happened so fast, William only had time to cover his and Tabari's vitals with the iron shield, the sound of four consecutive crossbow bolts striking the iron shield, William had to take a step back to relieve the impact due to the powerful impact .

William was too careless, distracted by a discordant conversation with Tabari, making him ignore a possible crisis.William was not harmed, but he guessed that something was wrong with Tabari, because William heard a total of six crossbow bolts piercing the air.

William didn't have time to check on Tabari's injuries, because he had already spotted the enemy who was sneaking up.To William's surprise, it was not a humanoid creature holding a crossbow, but a huge beast.It was a monster with a head resembling a humanoid animal face, a lion's body, and dragon wings. There was a row of arc-shaped thorns on the monster's back, shining with a strange luster.

William had never seen such a strange looking beast, but the next move of the monster was even more unexpected. The monster could speak.The monster roared like a lion: "Human! Either defeat me and let me tame! Or become my food—"

Chapter 4 The legendary untamable Manticore

Rao William was used to seeing all kinds of strange things in recent years, and the opening speech of this nondescript monster really made him laugh and cry, and the anger and killing intent that was originally full of him also dissipated a lot.

There are quite a few monsters in this world who can speak a not-so-poor common language. It's not the first time William has encountered a strange species who can speak human language, but every time he has a sense of unreality like a Tang monk bumping into a monster.

When the monster roared out that shocking sentence, it walked towards William without haste.The use of William's binocular spectral vision is still in the exploration and exploration stage, and his night vision ability is not perfect, so he didn't notice the long dim tail dragging on the monster's buttocks at the first time.The end of the almost invisible tail rubbed against its back from time to time, and then there was an extra thorn at the end of the tail, while the thorn on the monster's back was missing one.

William didn't relax his vigilance, he clasped the somewhat deformed iron shield and asked tentatively, "What are you?"

The monster did not answer in the common language, but roared softly, and took the opportunity to get closer to William a few steps, but it was still far enough for a safe distance according to normal adventure standards. Although William faintly felt that something was wrong, but For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the problem was.When William looked down and saw the nearly deformed iron shield, he finally came to his senses. Where was the crossbowman who attacked them just now?Where are they?

"William be careful! That's the Manticore—" the injured Tabari suddenly yelled urgently, reminding William of the identity of the opponent he was facing, but unfortunately, the reminder didn't have enough effect.

The Manticore is an extremely rare and ferocious monster.They are cunning and evil, and their intelligence is equivalent to that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old human boy—similar to an orc, with a calm and rational mind, good at sneak attacks and using cunning tactics.Manticores are undoubtedly evil in nature, but they have a very special nature. As an enemy, a Manticore is deadly and dangerous, but as an ally and companion, this monster is more powerful than even the most loyal hound. reliable.

Anyone who knows about Manticore hopes to have such a manticore as a partner, but so far there is no reliable case of taming Manticore. Don’t be fooled by the opening rhetoric of Manticore, it is just used by some cunning guys to confuse The lie of the greedy.Occasionally in history, there have been a few lucky people who have been recognized by the Manticore, but the process is not the same, and even the parties involved cannot explain why the Manticore is willing to follow them.

William didn't know what kind of existence the Manticore was, and the unknown danger made him pull out the Autumn Knife without hesitation. He didn't put this almost psychic soldier into the space ring, but kept it close to his body. , so as to cultivate the tacit understanding between him and the sword, in order to finally reach the state of perfection.William actually didn't want to use the Autumn Knife before reaching the Dzogchen, but he would not sit still when it came to a crisis. At worst, it would be better to spend more time on re-sharpening the sword later than to lose his own life.

After experiencing a series of encounters, William's perception ability has reached an unbelievable level. It is hard for him to believe that there is no one in this world who can hide his induction and approach him.But if there is really something that can hide from William's perception, it will definitely be an extremely terrifying existence to William.

With the Autumn Water Knife in hand, William's aura immediately changed drastically, as an invisible wind swept across all directions, and his whole body was filled with an incomparable sense of oppression.At this time, William no longer needs to see things with his eyes. The almost substantive mental power allows everything around him to be included in his perception. Every shadow, every corner, every gravel, every speck of dust...

still none!No ambush found!William searched every inch of space within the limits of his control, but he still couldn't find the target he thought.But soon, William found that his cognition was wrong, because the Manticore shot the second batch of thorns that were as powerful as a heavy crossbow.

Although the temperament of the enemy in front of him suddenly became extremely terrifying, the Manticore still did not give up its attack plan. This rare beast will never lack the courage to fight to the death.The long tail of the manticore flicked suddenly, and the six spikes broke through the air and shot towards William in an instant. Then the manticore roared and jumped up, and then it would fight with its claws and teeth.

Because of the closer distance, these spikes were more powerful, but they were no longer in William's eyes.With just a slight twist of the autumn water knife, William smashed the six spikes into pieces and scattered them on the ground.Afterwards, he crossed his left hand and held the knife upside down. With his right hand, he clenched his fist and punched the void in front of him. A group of flaming fist prints sprayed out with a long tail flame, and directly slammed into the rushing manticore.

William's punch was extremely abrupt, as if Enoch's magical mutation had no effect on his flame power.The red flames illuminated the entire cave, and the heat emitted by the flames greatly affected the dark vision, which is dominated by infrared vision. Both the Manticore and the female arcanist Tabari temporarily lost their ability to see. .

Although the Manticore's vision is affected, its excellent sense of smell and hearing can still provide it with sufficient sensory support.The manticore's dragon wings on its back suddenly spread out, and then changed the direction of its attack, dodging the attacking flame fist.The missing flame fist hit the stone wall and exploded suddenly, stirring up sparks and gravel all over the sky.

After William punched, he rubbed his body and chased after the flame. The manticore avoided William's flame fist, but couldn't avoid William's melee attack.The heavy punch full of dark energy exploded four times in a row under the Manticore's jaw in an instant, almost breaking its entire cervical spine.

The poor ferocious beast even suppressed its screams back into its stomach. The bursting dark force almost tore every inch of skin and muscle on the Manticore's neck, and tore its trachea and throat. Can fall to the ground and roll and twitch before dying.

William looked at the dying beast expressionlessly. The darkness covered his figure, but it couldn't cover his huge mental power that was constantly tumbling and surging. It was easy to tell that William was not in a calm mood.

The female arcanist didn't care about treating the wound on her body, and she couldn't wait to come closer and said, "William, how is the Manticore?"

William put away the Autumn Water Knife, and the vigorous spiritual power on his body suddenly subsided, and the domineering aura also subsided.He glanced at the Manticore on the ground, and said calmly, "It's been resolved. How is your injury?"

Tabari forced a guilty smile and said, "I'm fine, it's just a little skin trauma. That manticore... If you don't need it, give it to me."

William said: "Whatever, I don't think Misha'er would like such an ugly beast, it belongs to you."

Tabari was overjoyed when she got the answer, she used the best powerful healing spell [Great Restoration] she had mastered on the Manticore who was about to die without hesitation, and didn't care at all what this high-level spell would entail. Consumes a lot of spell slots.

Chapter 5 The Power of Cursed Fire

In order to be able to see everything around him better, William lit the spare bull's-eye lantern. Under the light, he could clearly see that the bloody wound of the Manticore, which was twitching and about to die, quickly disappeared, replaced by New flesh and skin, intact fur, and the Manticore's own vitality is also recovering rapidly, even the thorns on the monster's back are also fully recovered.

It was the first time for William to see [Great Restoration Spell]. Restoration spells are more advanced healing spells. They can not only heal wounds, but also regenerate mutilated limbs.The [Great Restoration Technique] is the most powerful among them. This super magical technique is known as "as long as there is still a breath, even if there is only one finger left, it can immediately restore your full state to its full state."

Seeing that the Manticore recovered from his injuries, Tabari finally thought about dealing with the wounds on his body.The thorns fired by the Manticore contain a mild neurotoxin that sharpens the nerves of the victim, which means that the pain felt will be more intense.Of course, this toxin similar to the [Intensified Pain] curse will not make the victims suffer more damage, but it will make them reduce the degree of resistance because of fear of pain.

But Tabari didn't seem to take the pain seriously, she pulled out the bloody thorn and threw it on the ground nonchalantly, as if the sharp weapon was pulled from someone else's thigh.William held a bull's-eye lantern and took a look at the wound on Tabari's leg. It seemed that the aorta in the thigh had been injured, and the blood was not flowing.William said: "You'd better deal with your wound quickly - use your magic. A ruptured artery is no small matter. Even the slightest wound is enough to cause you to bleed to death."

But Tabari took out a roll of medical bandages from his rucksack, and said: "Don't worry! I have a lot of blood, even if I bleed like this for a day, it's okay. Keep an eye on that Manticore, its temper Not so good."

Medicinal Bandages are sackcloth strips coated with a potion that slightly speeds the healing of wounds.For most mercenaries and fighters who are short on cash, the cost of going to the temple to ask a priest to heal their wounds, this simple bandage is undoubtedly much more affordable and convenient, and of course its effect is also greater than the simplest healing technique. Not as good.

Tabari just wrapped up the wound with a medical bandage, but did not use spells to heal the wound.In fact, for most spellcasters, especially those archmages who have profound attainments in mysterious knowledge, healing spells are only used for emergencies at critical moments, and what is really reliable is the self-healing ability of the human body.

Untamed Manticores are vicious and brutal by nature, thankful for nothing, and fiercely vengeful.Realizing that he was alive and well again, the Manticore immediately jumped up and chose someone to feed on. This cunning beast is extremely smart. It already knew that William is not easy to mess with, so the Manticore deliberately avoided William and chose the man who had just been treated. Its Arcanist.

Compared to William, who was majestic and powerful, Tabari, who was smaller and injured, was undoubtedly easier to deal with.The Manticore has an amazing talent in hunting tactics. This time it chose a more secure attack method, using its claws sharper than a dagger and powerful wings, while the Manticore's semi-horn tail is extremely vicious He drew towards William to prevent this "terrible enemy" from taking the opportunity to intervene in the sneak attack.

However, the Manticore's counterattack did not hinder William at all. He didn't want to become the farmer in the story of "The Farmer and the Snake", and he didn't want his companions to suffer this fate either.At the beginning of the manticore's leap, William had already made the first move. He threw the bull's-eye lantern in his hand, stepped forward and reached out with both hands, and instantly grabbed the manticore's long tail. , dragging and throwing the nearly thousand-pound beast out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, William quickly rushed to Tabari, protected the injured female arcanist, and made preparations for the Manticore's counterattack.But William didn't wait for the expected attack, and the beast kept whimpering and rolling in the darkness, as if enduring great pain.

Although it was hard to believe that the beast would also use a trick to cheat, William still watched cautiously until he did feel a drastic change in the Manticore's blood fluctuations.William picked up the bull's-eye lantern again, and the carefully polished steel mirror made the light brighter and clearer. William and Tabari finally saw the condition of the Manticore clearly.

I saw that the neck of the Manticore was red and swollen as if it had been boiled, and there were clusters of horrible scorching bubbles that kept popping out, and soon the scorching bubbles burst automatically, splashing out a purple-black stinky liquid, emitting With a strange scorched smell, it landed on the ground with a "chi chi" sound.William was a little surprised. He knew that it was caused by the fire poison formed by the blood power contained in his fist, but William didn't understand why the [Great Restoration Technique] failed to eliminate the remaining flame power on the Manticore.

It's just that William noticed the emotional changes of the female Arcanist around him more than he paid attention to the Manticore.The woman's expression became very strange after seeing the horror of the Manticore.After the initial excitement, Tabari suddenly became extremely relaxed, as if she had suddenly received a positive answer to a long-standing question.

Tabari said in a rather brisk tone: "Oh! Look at this lucky poor kitten, it should be proud of it. Cursed fire! How long have I not seen this most original The magic power, although it is only the simplest prototype."

When used in battle, the curse fire is a powerful and terrible ultimate holy flame."
