Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 433 Cold
“Invasion! Roar!!”

The swamp bear man stammered out a common language, and then immediately rushed towards Noshir!
The swamp bear people are a wild and primitive species. Because of their living habits that are no different from those of wild beasts, these creatures have developed powerful strength and a tough physique. The strong lower limbs of normal swamp bear people can propel their bodies across a distance of dozens of meters in an instant with just a sudden leap!
The bear man in front of Noshir was obviously able to do this. He demonstrated a textbook way of jumping forward in front of Noshir. After crossing the longest distance in this way, the swamp bear man directly used his hands and feet, in an abnormal posture that could even be described as crazy, and rushed towards Noshir!

At this time, Noshil instantly realized that the bear man was abnormal. He originally planned to kill him with one blow, but he chose to stop. Noshil stuck the axes in both hands into the belt around his waist, raised his hands horizontally to his sides, and took a posture of facing the attack head-on, launching a counterattack against the swamp bear man!

At this moment, both of them burst out with extremely high movement speeds, and just when they were about to fight, Noshir unexpectedly showed explosive power far superior to that of the Swamp Bear Man!
When the swamp bear man's strong lower limbs had begun to push off the ground, and he was only 0.5 seconds away from bursting out with an extremely powerful momentum and knocking Noshir down, Noshir actually got there first!
Using the wings behind him and legs that were far stronger than the bear man's, he flashed in front of the swamp bear man's body that was ready to attack with almost teleportation speed!
"Get some sleep first!!!"

Noshir's left palm instantly clenched into an iron fist, and with the explosive power of that moment, he punched the broad and tough beast-like head of the swamp bear man!

This punch directly broke the Swamp Bear Man's prepared explosive posture! The Bear Man had no time to react at all, and his head fell forward with his entire body!
The next second, the bear man's head was embedded in the rock surface in front of Noshir, and his limbs, which had been twisted and swollen and ready to go, were also tensed! After hovering in the air for a few seconds, the body of the swamp bear man fell straight to the ground.

"I think I used too much force."

Noshier's punch had actually been used with less power, but even so, his blow still managed to knock down the swamp bearman, whose normal strength was 17 points and constitution was 16 points.

However, because the bear man had at least used up a little bit of his strength, he did not die immediately, allowing Noshil to reluctantly fulfill his request to keep him alive.

"Forget it, as long as I didn't die immediately."

Noshil moved his wrists and took out a scroll of psychic energy detection from the space box on his waist. This scroll can detect psychic energy fluctuations in living organisms.

The reason why living things are necessary is because psychic energy fluctuations will not exist in the body of a dead person. Regardless of whether they were affected by psychic energy fluctuations during their lifetime, as soon as they die, their psychic energy will quickly dissipate.

At the same time, as far as Noshir knew, the race of swamp bear people could be said to have almost no psychic talent, at least ordinary swamp bear people would never possess psychic powers, so as long as this scroll could detect psychic power in the body of the bear person in front of him, it would mean that this swamp bear person was indeed controlled by the main brain.

Without hesitation, Noshier tore the scroll directly towards the bear man in front of him. The moment the scroll was opened, a faint, visible purple illusory energy wave flashed across the swamp bear man's head.

"The energy is very weak, but it is indeed a psychic fluctuation. It seems that my guess is right. The main brain has indeed controlled many monsters to act as temporary guards." Noshiel breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer, then directly pulled out the axe at his waist and sent the bear away neatly. Noshiel was not afraid of exposing his position for many reasons, but the main reason was that before coming here, Noshiel had carefully studied the biological knowledge about the main brain in his mind.

Noshier knew that the Mastermind might possess powerful mental powers, but it was not omniscient. The Mastermind could not search the memories of the creatures controlled by it at will. This was not to say that the Mastermind could not do this, but if it wanted to achieve this, the creatures controlled by it had to be very close to it.

The only existence whose memory the Mastermind can search at will is the Mind Flayer transformed from the Mind Flayer tadpoles it produces. When facing other creatures, the Mastermind cannot obtain information so conveniently, so Nosil is not worried that the Mastermind will see him through the eyes of the bear man.

Moreover, Noshier did not feel the mental fluctuations emitted by the main brain here. The main brain can emit a kind of instinctive mental fluctuations with its body as the center. The coverage range of this fluctuation is very large, as far as five kilometers.

Within the range of this mental fluctuation, any sentient rational creature, as long as his perception is not too low, can feel an inexplicable sense of being watched, but Noshir did not notice this feeling, which means that he did not get within five kilometers of the main brain, and outside this range, the main brain could not detect the abnormality here.

The sudden extinction of a slave's mental fluctuations is not a big deal for the Mastermind, but the Underdark is very dangerous. The bear man is so far away from the Mastermind that even if he doesn't meet Noshir, he may encounter other dangers in the Underdark.

If any slave suddenly died and the Mastermind had to spend a lot of time investigating, even a mental energy reactor like the Mastermind would probably not be able to handle the load.

After wiping the blood off the axe and throwing the bearman's body into a hidden corner, Noshir set out on his journey again.

The sudden appearance of this swamp bear man was not without benefits. At least he clearly pointed out a passage that could lead directly to the location of the main brain to Noshir, so that he didn't have to rely on guessing where to go.

The swamp bear man suddenly appeared from the left. Noshil walked a few steps in that direction and indeed found a relatively hidden tunnel. Noshil moved forward quickly along the tunnel. In just five or six minutes, he found more traces that could only be left behind by the Mind Flayer when it was in action.

Following these traces carefully, Noshir knew that he was not far from his destination. But as Noshir continued to move forward along the tunnel, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

It was like suddenly walking into a cold lake.
