Chapter 551 Varro’s New Book

There is only one passage, so there is no need to worry about finding the way.

With Tang Sen's observation ability, he has not seen any traces of other creatures around him for the time being. The terrain of the Underdark is extremely complex. In some places, caves thousands of meters wide can be formed, and sometimes they shrink into narrow spaces that are difficult for halflings to pass through. space.

This is a three-dimensional world. Even people living in dark areas do not dare to stray away from the places they are familiar with, because this means that they will most likely never be able to find them again, and will be lost forever in those places big and small. , in a cave where you can't tell the direction at all.

Moreover, this huge underground world hidden in Faerûn does not only have one layer, but is divided into three layers.

Tang Sen has been to the Underdark before. Because it is close to the surface, the danger is not too high - this is of course compared to those adventure teams who are experienced and familiar with the Underdark. After all, even in the Upper Underdark, the danger is not too high. Countless monsters are also active in the Underdark, as well as drow, gray dwarves and underground gnomes.

In this layer closest to the surface, underground rivers flow here, water and food are relatively abundant, and luminous fungi are also widely distributed.

In the middle and dark regions, the underground rivers gradually dry up, and food becomes more difficult to find. This is a world of darkness and killing. Unless you accidentally fall to this level, or seek some ruins buried in the dark region, it is almost impossible to find anything. No adventurer wants to set foot here.

In short, there is no doubt that there are a large number of illithids on this level.

As for the people at the bottom of the Underdark, they know very little about it. After all, there are very few people who can escape from there and tell stories about it.

Even with a team of legendary spellcasters, entering the lowest level requires great courage and a reason to go.

After all, this is a completely weird and incredible world, where the most dangerous creatures have formed the most terrifying societies. Some of them have magic so powerful that they can survive without water and food, and some live in eternity. Fighting for the right to survive.

It can be speculated that the creatures that can live at the bottom are all the top hunters.

Of course, there will be no shortage of lichs in this kind of place, even some lichs that have existed since ancient times. They live in seclusion in this dark place and are obsessed with evil and powerful magical knowledge. No one knows that in the past How powerful they will be over the years.

In short, even Tang Sen doesn't think he can calmly deal with a place like the Underdark.

Going deeper along the passage, the luminous moss has disappeared, and there is only pure darkness around. Fortunately, Tang Sen can see in the darkness, avoiding the need to use dangerous spells such as lighting, which are equivalent to monster luring spells.

After walking for several hours, during which he passed through several passes that would have been impossible to pass without shrinking his body, Tang Sen finally came to a relatively large cave.

The traces of luminous moss finally appeared again, vaguely illuminating the cave - only part of the ground and stone walls, and the light of the moss could not extend to the top of the cave, which was tens of meters high.

Townsend noticed that there seemed to be a sculpture standing in the center of the cave.

"Is there some kind of intelligent race around here?"

Tang Sen spread the space of the surgical fruit and then carefully moved it in front of the sculpture.

Surprisingly, this is actually a human sculpture - he has a thick, neatly trimmed beard, a blue hat, and a rather decent tight-fitting outfit with white velvet lace. The neckline looks like that of a coquettish and wealthy bard.

His right hand reached for his waist bag, his steps stepped back, and his posture froze.

"etc."

Only then did Tang Sen realize the magical aura on the other party's body.

This is not a sculpture, but a living human being, just petrified.

In a place like the Underdark, a human would actually appear and be petrified here alone?

Tang Sen looked at this unlucky guy up and down. He was pretty sure that this guy was really weak. He couldn't even compare to Cui Xi when he first met him. Moreover, the things he was wearing were very unprofessional, except for a bunch of necessary items. In addition to the magic props, the most popular ones are actually notebooks and pens.

After thinking about it, Tang Sen snapped his fingers, and the magic power in his body circulated, directly removing the petrification effect on the opponent.

"Beholder!"

The man quickly took out a suspicious-looking piece of dried meat from his pocket and threw it towards Tang Sen.

Tang Sen turned his head slightly to avoid the meat.

At this time, the man finally realized that the person standing in front of him was not a monster, but a human being.

"It seems that I have been saved." His ability to accept seemed to be extremely strong. The panic on his face quickly disappeared and he smiled: "Did I just be petrified by the beholder? I'm really lucky. If it fired dissociation As for the ray, maybe I can no longer stand here and speak. In short, please accept my most sincere thanks, Mr. Spellcaster."

"Tang Sen." Tang Sen introduced himself: "You can call me Mr. Tang."

"Oh, a Karatu-style name." The man stretched out his hand: "I am Varro."

Tang Sen raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person again: "Varo? The Varo who wrote "Varo's Monster Manual"?"

Any adventurer in Faerûn should know Varro.

This guy appears in almost any place where legendary stories may occur, and records everything he sees. Of course, what he writes is really helpful to adventurers. For example, the Monster Manual contains almost all records. It describes the various monsters that adventurers may encounter in various places, including their abilities, habits and even challenge levels.

Before he was keen on eating dragons and abyss demons, Tang Sen once read this book as a recipe.

"It seems you know me." Varro suddenly showed a smug smile: "Of course it's not just this one, I also wrote "Varo's Guide to Everything", "Varo's Guide to the Sword Coast", "Varo's Guide to the Sword Coast" The Guide to Waterdeep, etc.”

"I can give you a full set of course, this might not be a good occasion."

He is very familiar with people and likes to talk. Before Tang Sen could send a message, he had already told the reason why he was here.

"I'm preparing a new book, and I think Varro's Guide to Menzoberranzan would be a good title."

"Of course, judging from the current situation, maybe I need to reconsider the title of the new book——"

"Varro's Guide to the Lower Underdark."
