readx;? The ambush of the Thorntail Lion in the third section
William shouted, "Yasuna, you and Phinea stay here, and Lady Tabari and I will go in and check it out." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He was a little uneasy about leaving Tabari outside with the two little ones, because the woman who had lived for an unknown number of years was obviously thinking about it.
William took out another bucket of water and placed it on the ground, saying, "I'm not sure how long I'll need to stay inside, but I'll get out as soon as possible." Mi Sha'er, you are in charge of overseeing that Jasuna and Finia don't consume this bucket of water too quickly. ”
Being able to be assigned a task by her brother is definitely something that Mi Sha'er can't ask for, she jumped up excitedly, climbed to the top of the barrel in three or two steps, stood on it with a pure gold sword in her hand, and said solemnly: "I will take good care of this bucket of water, my brother William." Test Text Watermark 6. Anyone who wants to get it must get my sword's permission. ”
"I believe you can be trusted, my sister. William's words of encouragement meandered Mi Sha'er, and she nearly fell off the barrel with her hands until another competitor pushed her off it. Test Text Watermark 3. Whatever Mi Shar did, there was always an imitator next to her, and Miluna climbed into the barrel and performed the same performance, and enjoyed it, though it was not as appreciated by William as she had hoped, for William had already burrowed into the deep crack.
William slid lightly into the rock crevice along the stone wall, he took a deep breath, the air in the rock crevice was not dull, with a slight moisture, indicating that the front was not closed, and the air could flow smoothly. Test Text Watermark 3. Although it was pitch black in the crevice, it did not have much effect on William's eyesight, and the special spectral vision gave him the ability to see in the dark. William quietly and cautiously walked a short distance, and found that the crevasse became narrower and narrower as he went, and the terrain tended to rise gradually. And the stone wall under your feet is very smooth, as if it has been specially polished.
At this time, Tabari also bent over and burrowed in, it seems that the female arcanist also has the ability to see in the dark, but I don't know if it is the effect of spells or if she also has a pair of night vision eyes. Test Text Watermark 9. Tabari caught up and said: "This section of the road is an artificially modified sand control tunnel earlier, and this inverted terrain can effectively prevent the intrusion of sand and soil. A little further down is the lower passage. ”
At the beginning, the ten-zhang passage gradually rose, but then gradually declined, and the surrounding dark and cold stone walls gave people a feeling of oppressive discomfort. William had put away his hammer, and with his iron shield in one arm, he bent his body unhurriedly through the narrow stone path, while Tabari followed closely behind with a one-handed magic crossbow in each hand. Test text watermark 7.
This narrow road is more than 100 zhang long, but then it gradually widens again, and the terrain has a significant downward trend. After walking for about a cup of tea, William noticed that the stone walls around him were beginning to show irregular cracks and gaps, and the rubble and intermittent stalactites under his feet made it a little difficult to walk.
Although William's body is large and heavy, he walks silently, giving people a ghostly sense of disobedience. But the sound of kicking the gravel kept echoing in his ears, and William stopped and looked back at Taparre. Test Text Watermark 2.
Seeing that William was no longer moving forward, the female arcanist stopped for some unknown reasons, and the sound of kicking and trampling gravel also stopped. Tabari asked, confused, "What's wrong?"
William said, "Your footsteps can be heard from several kilometers away, and you'd better have a useful spell to cover it up, otherwise it will only alert the monsters here." ”
Tabari smiled slightly, but it was difficult to distinguish people's expressions under dark vision, and William didn't see it. Tapari laughed, "Of course I knew it would alarm the monsters here. Test Text Watermark 1. However, in a wild magic area like Enoch (wild magic area: also known as a frenzied magic area, which refers to some areas where spells cannot be cast normally due to the distortion of the magic web), it is better to stay at a critical time than to waste precious spell slots on covering up the sound of walking. Besides, with you in front, I don't think anything can break through your defenses and hurt me, unless you deliberately let out water during the fight. ”
William snorted coldly and said noncommittally, turned his head and continued to move forward, but Tabari provoked behind his back: "William, let's talk about it, will you deliberately release water when we are attacked, and put me in a dangerous situation?"
William said with some displeasure as he walked: "I ask myself, although I am not a good person in my life, I can't do the ugly act of betraying my comrades on the battlefield. Test Text Watermark 4. As long as I'm still in front of you, you can play with your fancy stuff with confidence. ”
Tapari asked in a tone of exaggerated suspicion, "Yes, but I'm still a little uneasy, can you promise it again?" and promise to do everything you can to protect me from harm." Test Text Watermark 6. Can you swear, just a little oath..."
"Enough! stop your little tricks!" William was really impatient, and he turned to the female arcanist and shouted angrily, "If you are really not at ease, you can withdraw now." But don't play tricks in front of me, once you behave beyond my cordon..."
"What will you do? Will you kill me? like you would kill a poor little animal?" Tapari's pitiful appearance drove William mad, and he regretted his journey with this damned woman more and more. Test text watermark 8.
Taparius deliberately teased William for a moment, but stopped before William could completely lose his mind. She said, "Let's get to the bottom of it." William, you've been on guard against me, you don't trust me, not even anyone, you're too wary. I don't know how to earn your trust, but you have to make a trip to Inleento—it's your destiny. Moro... Ahh
As the two of them were talking, William suddenly felt something different, and suddenly the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air suddenly sounded around him. Everything came too fast, William only had time to cover himself and Tapari with the iron shield, and the sound of four consecutive crossbow arrows hitting the iron shield strongly, the powerful impact of William had to take a step back to unload the momentum.
William was careless, and the discordant conversation with Tabari distracted him and made him ignore the possible crisis. William was unharmed, but he estimated that something might be wrong with Tapari, as William heard a total of six bolts breaking through the air.
William didn't have time to check on the extent of Tapari's injuries, as he had already spotted the attacking enemy. To William's surprise, it wasn't a humanoid creature with a crossbow, but a giant beast. It was a monster with a head that resembled a humanoid beast face, a lion's body, and dragon wings, and a row of arc-shaped thorns on its back, shining with a strange sheen.
William had never seen such a strange-looking beast, but the monster's next move was even more unexpected, the monster could speak. The monster roared like a lion, "Human, either defeat me and tame me!or be my food—" (To be continued.)
