Chapter 432: The Werebear
The complex and terrifying monster types in the Underdark are as famous as their dangers, and in the face of the powerful spiritual power of the Mastermind, most of the monsters in the Underdark are unable to escape. Its mind control, coupled with Kesrick who is probably next to the mastermind now...
'Stop imagining while I still have the courage to move forward. ’
Nohir shook his head and dispelled the complicated thoughts in his mind. The Underdark is the territory of the underground race. It is indeed dangerous there, but it will not definitely kill him.
Although the unique environment of the Underdark has eliminated his ability to teleport and escape, with Nohill's strength, if he really wants to run away, there is probably nothing in this world that can stop him head-on. Not even Catherick!
‘The risks... are bearable, and the benefits... are beyond imagination. In this case, there is nothing more to say. '
Nohir first took out the sound transmission stone and reported to Jaheira and the others the information he had searched before, including the existence of evil thoughts, the types, quantity and distribution of the undead inside the Moonrise Tower. , and this strange area below the Moonrise Tower.
Nohill emphasized that he is currently exploring here, but because the environment here is a bit unexpected, he may not go back in a short time to distract the enemy's attention and fight guerrillas with them. I'm afraid they can only leave their plans to themselves for the time being. After all, what Nohill wants to do now cannot allow him to continue to be half-hearted.
......
In order to better observe the surrounding environment and to respond to various emergencies in a more timely manner, Nohill did not choose to continue to transform into mist. He had modified it himself, removed the iron boots with the ability to summon nightmare spurs inlaid on them, and replaced them with elf boots that were more suitable for stealth operations.
At the same time, due to the narrow tunnel environment, Nohir did not take out his wide and conspicuous legendary ax, but instead took out his two-hand ax as a self-defense weapon after a long absence.
Because of the Elf Boots, Nohir will not make much noise even if he runs. Coupled with his already high agility attribute, for a while, his movement speed is actually Not the slightest drop.
As he went deeper and deeper into the Dark Territory, Nohir finally found some traces of the existence of the Mind Flayer, some glowing mucus, and skulls with brains sucked out. These were all evidence of the existence of the Mind Flayer. .
While following the evidence, Nohill also discovered that the tunnel that originally had only one passage also had bifurcations. Those bifurcations were the same as this tunnel. It can be seen that they should be the same tunnel. It was done by a creature, but perhaps because the end of those intersections did not lead to the location of the mastermind, Nohir did not find traces of the mind flayers on those forks.
Nohir quickly retreated from those incorrect intersections, and as he continued to move forward, he finally encountered some welcome gifts unique to this dark world.
The first danger Nohir encountered was a dark veil monster lurking above his head. This kind of monster belongs to the aberration category in the secular biological classification.
The appearance of the Dark Veil Monster looks like a stalactite-shaped squid, except that the junction between its head and tentacles is covered with six large and small dim yellow eyes that can be closed. , and a dozen squid tentacles whose ends are covered with pointed cones, and half of the inner side is made of cortical membrane. The Dark Veil Monster's attack method is very insidious. This monster will deliberately hang its body on the top of a rocky cliff, disguising itself as an upside-down stalactite.
The Dark Veil Monster will use the echo of sound to locate its prey. When a prey passes under it, the creature will instantly fall from the sky and wrap it with its tentacles and canvas-like body. While suffocating the creature's head, it will also pierce its tentacles into the victim's body, and then immediately secrete powerful venom to help bring down the unlucky guy.
The Dark Veil Monster can be said to be the most common and most dangerous creature in the Underdark. Especially for humanoid creatures, the Dark Veil Monster is something that must be carefully guarded against. Because of its size, as a Small aberrant Dark Veil Monsters will only attack humanoid creatures, so as long as you walk in terrain like this kind of tunnel, you must be careful of the hanging rocks above your head.
Because the disguise of this monster is too realistic, there will not even be any biological reaction when it is still, there is neither movement nor heartbeat, and it is the first time in Nohir's life that he has set foot in this dangerous world. , of course he did not discover this target.
It wasn't until the Dark Veil Monster suddenly launched an attack after passing under him that Nohill was able to react. Then before he hugged Nohill's head with his body, Nohill immediately raised his right hand. The battle ax directly faced the Dark Veil Monster's body, cutting it in half from bottom to top!
Because of the timely attack, the Dark Veil Demon Beast died under his battle ax without causing too much difficulty to Nohir. At the same time, it may be because it has not captured prey for too long, or it may be because it has not caught its prey for too long. Because of the unique biological signs of aberrations, there is not much blood, digestive juices, and leftover prey body tissues in the body of the Dark Veil Monster.
Of course, even if there are not many, these things still exist. Due to the sudden incident, Nohill had no time to get out of the way completely, which caused his body to be stained with some highly irritating unknown liquid. .
Nohir had to spend some time cleaning up these things. Fortunately, because during his time in Eltoril, Nohir's body was filled with all kinds of unique things. Potions and magic scrolls.
All it takes is a simple cleaning technique, whether it's blood or smell, it can be completely cleaned. But I don't know if it's because of bad luck. Just when Nohir had just cleaned himself with a spell scroll and wanted to leave there, a sudden The monster that could only be attracted by the blood of the secretly admiring monster suddenly appeared in front of Nohir.
It was a humanoid monster with a stooped and thin body, but a broad body and a strong frame.
His whole body is covered with gray-white hair. A ferocious bear head has a pair of narrow and cunning eyes. The teeth are very sharp, but the claws seem to be blunt. The lower limbs are anti-jointed. Visually, he has many With his extraordinary jumping ability and knowledge of monsters, Nohir quickly recognized what this monster was.
"Werbears, generally speaking, only drow elves will tame these creatures in large numbers and train them into combat slaves, but the mind flayers will also control them and use them as hard labor. In short, It is one of the standard slave races in the underground world. It seems that I am really close to finding that place.”
