Chapter 29 Chapter 23 Datak

She stretched out her hand to touch the arrow, with the crossbow in front of her, at this moment, the green ball of light ejected from the wand rushed towards her.Catti-brie's bow suddenly tightened against her chest, sending her flying and crashing into the wall.It was as if someone had tightened her chest with one hand and her waist with the other, making her legs unable to move.She can't even fall off the wall!She wanted to scream, but she couldn't open her mouth, she couldn't open one eye, she couldn't see anything in the other, she had difficulty breathing, she was suffocating.

Entreri turned back, sword and dagger drawn.Three drow women had entered the house, their crossbows aimed at him.Entreri slid to one side and rushed to the center of the room, running to Catti-brie. The nimble killer squatted down and lunged forward again, as if he was about to jump towards the opponent, but then he bent down and stabbed straight out with the long sword. The well-trained drow women saw through the killer's feint and took a step back before letting go of the bowstring.The first short dart caught Entreri in the shoulder, hurting him more than he expected.Suddenly, he suddenly froze and straightened his body.The black arc was like tentacles flashing sparks coming in and out of the short dart, burning his body and forcing him back a few steps.

The second short dart rushed towards him screaming, and it didn't cause him too much pain when it pierced into the body. However, the electric storm came immediately, knocking him to the ground.His long sword flew out of his hand, missing the trapped Catti-brie by a hair. Entreri crouched at the young woman's feet.He still gripped the jeweled dagger tightly, thinking he would soon get over the sting.But he could only watch helplessly as his fingers twitched and twitched unconsciously, and his grip on the dagger became weaker and weaker.He tried to raise the sharp blade, but his muscles gave in, and the dagger fell from his trembling hands quickly.

He lay on the ground at Catti-brie's feet, bewildered and terrified.For the first time in this life, the warrior's muscles did not answer his call. A third woman, the one in the middle of the trio, caught Drizzt's attention: Vanders Baenre—Datak—his most ruthless torturer during these long days.Drizzt held his chain mail in front of him, and stood motionless, not daring to blink.The two women standing next to the cruel Baenry daughter dropped their crossbows and drew two gleaming longswords each. Drizzt expected a gust of wind or some other spell to surround him, for Vanders had begun to whisper and chant quickly.

"Brave friends." The malicious noble elf said sarcastically, speaking the standard common language of the surface. Drizzt immediately understood the nature of her spell, which enabled her to communicate with Entreri and Catti-brie. Entreri's lips moved strangely, and his expression showed that he wanted to say more than just ask for an explanation. "What about the ceremony?" "As a matter of fact," Vanders replied, "my mother and sisters, as well as many visiting matrons, were gathered in the shrine. I was not required to attend the initial ceremony, as I was ordered to bring Drizzt Durmore Den bring them to them." She stared at Drizzt with great satisfaction, "Looks like your friends have saved me the trouble of pouring a potion down your throat."

"You really thought it would be so easy to get into Baenry's house and take our most valuable prisoner?" Fenders asked Entreri. "You were caught long before you climbed the cobweb fence. Put it on my brother's mask, we'll find out! Gromph, or that dangerous Jarlaxle, has problems to deal with." "And, I'm amazed, Assassin," she continued, "you've earned your reputation—I expected better. Don't you see the point of having all men guarding our precious prey? ?” She turned to Drizzt, shaking her head. "Of course, there can be more guards who pretend to be." Drizzt remained motionless, showing no signs of expression.He felt that the strength was returning, and the medical potion was taking effect.However, he knew that in the face of Fan Desi and the other two well-equipped and well-trained women, it didn't make any difference whether they regained their strength or not.The ranger cast a disdainful glance at his armor—it was of no use to him with it hanging from his hand.

Entreri was sane, but not physically.The electric shocks continued, and every attempt at coordination of movements failed.He wanted to put his hands in his waist pockets, but hearing Vanders's words, the hints, killed his will to live. "We guessed that the human woman was still alive." Fandes explained, "It is likely that she fell into the hands of Jarlaxle—I didn't expect her to be sent to us so easily." Entreri wondered if Jarlaxle had set a double trap.Had the mercenary chief planned such an elaborate plan to send Catti-brie to Baenry's house? The mention of Catti-brie made Drizzt's eyes light up.He could not believe that she was here, in Menzoberranzan, and at what risk she had taken to follow him.Where is Guanhaifa?he thought.Did Bruno and Regis come along besides Catti-brie?

He flinched as he gazed at the young woman trapped in the green goo.How fragile she looked, how delicate and helpless. The fire in Drizzt's lavender eyes burned brighter as he turned to Fanders.The fear of torturers disappeared, and the frustration of wanting to die quickly disappeared. With a quick thought, Drizzt threw down the chain armor, and the scimitar was already in his hand. Fan Desi paused, split left and right suddenly, and double-teamed up.One tapped on the arc of "Shining" with his sword, forcing Drizzt to abandon the sword.He looked down at the "Flash", rationally asking him to let it go.

But Drizzt turned back with a wild arc, and pushed the sword aside.Another knife rushed forward, and the opponent's straight stab was blocked before he could make a move. "Fool!" Fenders yelled excitedly at him, "I've been waiting for you to do it. Drizzt du Merden—Dandro wants to kill you!" The way she said this made Drizzt very angry She wondered who she wanted to win in that possible battle.He didn't have time to analyze the endless conspiracies in this chaotic world. When the two drow women pressed him, he didn't have the time to think about it. In Dark Elvish, Fenders ordered her warriors to teach Drizzt a lesson, but not to kill him.

Drizzt suddenly swirled like a gust of wind, the light of the knife weaved a deadly net around him, and then jumped out suddenly, stabbing the woman on the left with his knife.One move was useless, and the excellent drow armor blocked the blade - but Drizzt had no armor on his body.The thought was brushed aside when the point of the sword from the right struck Drizzt.With a sneer, he turned around and backed away, flipping the blade of the sword away, never letting the sharp edge hurt himself. ※※※※ Entreri hoped that Fenders was drawn to the battle as much as her guards were, for his every movement was clumsy and conspicuous.He had to take the spider mask out of his waist pocket anyway, to stop his trembling hands, so he reached up and grabbed Catti-brie's belt.

Trembling fingers failed to grasp, and he fell back to the ground.Fanders glanced in his direction inadvertently, smiled coldly—obviously not noticing the mask—and turned back to watch the battle.Entreri sat halfway against the wall, trying to restrain the unpleasant drow spell with willpower, but all efforts were in vain, his hands still twitching involuntarily. ※※※※ The sword slashed at Drizzt from all directions, and a ray of sword light slid across his cheek, causing a sharp pain.The experienced women cooperated tacitly to trap him in the corner, with no room for turning around.Drizzt's dodging skills, however, were remarkable.Fenders applauds his brilliant but useless struggle.Drizzt knew he was in a tough fight.There was no armor to protect him, and, despite the magic potion flowing through him, his body was weak.To break through such a powerful attack.There was nothing he could do.One sword came low, and the other fell from the other side.Drizzt jumped up, raised his knees and lowered his head, raised the "flash" to parry the sword edge, and the other scimitar separated the middle attack of two people in front of him, one person and one sword, and completed the first attack at the same time. Dodge four times.There were continuous attacks, but Drizzt might not be able to retaliate with every move.He jumped up and dived, swinging his swords left and right, trying to prevent the stinging swords from poking deep holes in his vulnerable body, but there were more and more small wounds.The Ranger cast a hopeless glance at Katie, and Brie glanced, but was overwhelmed by the danger she was about to face. ※※※※ Entreri continued his futile struggle, finally defeated, feeling that he could not break free from the powerful magic.Accepting defeat, however, would have prevented Entreri the Killer from gaining a foothold in the treacherous alleys of Calimport, the leader of that southern city's underworld.He changed his mind and decided to deal with this variable imposed on himself.Entreri jerked his arms upward.There was no grasping motion in his fingers—he hadn't intended to grab anything—but he slapped his arm hard against the glue on the wall.This is strong enough.With this amazing bond, Entreri twisted his arms and pulled himself to the side of the trapped woman.Catti-brie watched him helplessly, wondering what on earth he was trying to do.When the killer's free hand was waving in the air, she didn't back away or duck her head, even though she was afraid he would punch her (however, she couldn't move her head if she wanted to).But what flew out of that hand was not the gem-encrusted dagger, but the spider mask.It landed directly on top of Catti-brie's head, and at that moment Catti-brie understood Entreri's intentions.The mask didn't slide off right away because it was stuck, but the green mud succumbed quickly to the magic of the mask.Catti-brie couldn't see anything as a wave of goo washed past, and then the bottom edge of the spider mask covered her open eyes.After a while, her other eye blinked and opened as well. ※※※※ The fierce fighting intensified, and sparks flew everywhere.The females attack the dogged defense of the male traitor even more violently. "That's it!" Fan Desi yelled impatiently, "Clean him up, drag him to the shrine, and let him watch that stupid woman sacrifice to Goddess Rose with his own eyes!" Van Dess can say whatever he wants, as long as he threatens Drizzt Do'Urden, nothing could be more inappropriate than this sentence.Catti-brie, sweet and innocent Catti-brie was to be sacrificed to the loathsome Rose, which Drizzt would never tolerate. He was no longer Drizzt Do'Urden, the rational man had been replaced by the anxious hunter, and here stood the original hunter, ruthless. The woman to his left returned the blow cautiously, while the attack from the right was much bolder—a sword pierced through the net of his scimitar. This sword is extremely light and nimble, but in the eyes of the swift hunter, it is just a slow movement. Drizzt let the point of the sword penetrate into his stomach, and immediately slashed back with his left hand, parrying the long sword, cutting At the same time, the ranger's right hand sealed her other sword. The two knives were staggered in front of the body, the left hand was slashing upwards, and the right hand was slashing downwards, switching the targets of the attack. His waist suddenly sank, and the swords of the two women rushed towards each other.Drizzt's right wrist twisted lightly and slashed at the enemy's knee, and his left hand stabbed forward fiercely.His opponent's leg snapped suddenly, and the scimitar pierced through her abdomen, and she fell down. Still crouching, Drizzt turned sharply.When the woman on the left rushed straight, she parried the attack. She was too aggressive.The machete swung one sword away, but the other stabbed straight down.The sword sliced ​​through Drizzt's flesh and wounded his ribs. Back and forth, dodging and moving, this new injury did not make the hunter feel pain, and even more serious injuries did not feel pain.Fenders couldn't believe that Drizzt was able to prop up a leg and stand up so quickly under the onslaught of her highly skilled fighters. And her other warrior was curled up on the ground, holding his broken leg with one hand, and clutching his bleeding abdomen with the other. "Enough!" Fenders shouted angrily.The wand pointed in Drizzt's direction.She loves to watch the fights, but she's never willing to lose any women to it. "Guan Haifa!" Suddenly there was a scream. Fanders glanced aside and saw the woman crouching far away from the glue—she was wearing a spider mask!As soon as Catti-brie was clear of the wall, she pulled out the onyx and picked up a dagger. Vanders instinctively shot another goo, which slid across Catti-brie's body and stuck to the wall. Catti-brie staggered dazedly forward and thrust the dagger out.She tried to cut Fenders' hand, but the whirling staff pulled it aside before the blade sliced ​​through flesh. Catti-brie bumped into the drow's leg, and the two fell to the ground together.Catti-brie grabbed Vanders, who kicked and writhed to break free. ※※※※ Drizzt slammed swiftly at the opponent's twin swords, letting out a long cry.The female warrior fought back fiercely for a while, but gradually, her movements became slower and slower, unable to cope with Drizzt's intensive attacks. She swung her sword upwards, blocking the "flash" on the right.A sword raised to intercept the stabbing of the other scimitar. But this stab of the scimitar was just a feint, only her own sword rushed out.As soon as she realized that it was a feint attack, she immediately stopped her sword move and counterattacked to defend. Too late.Drizzt's knife sank into a gap in the fine armor.He opened the empty door wide now, but the female warrior had no strength or life to attack again.The beautiful blow of the machete pierced her heart, and she had lost everything.She only shuddered when Drizzt drew the knife back. ※※※※ Catti-brie hugged Vanders's leg tightly and rained her fists on her head.With the spider mask on one side, Catti-brie couldn't see anything, but she knew that if Vanders had a weapon in her hand, she'd be in trouble. Catti-brie reached forward blindly to grab the drow's wrist, but Fenders moved much faster, not only out of the way, but also wriggling to free a leg.She twisted and kicked, and Katie-brie was nearly knocked out. Vanders pushed her away, and Catti-brie scrambled forward to catch the legs that had suddenly retreated.The young woman only hesitated for a moment, then turned the nasty mask back, and when she saw that Vanders's feet had been hidden far away, she couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but let out a cry. The Ban Rui family's daughter quickly stood up and ran out of the room. Catti-brie was well aware of the consequences of letting Vanders escape.She stubbornly stood up to stand up, but was gently stopped by the hand of the person who came.She saw Drizzt Do'Urden's bare feet land on the stony ground in front of her, and she chased at full speed. The moment Drizzt stepped into the hallway, he twisted and fell backwards so hard that Katie-brie thought he had been hit.But seeing a cloud of green slime fly over him, she knew immediately that he had fallen on purpose. Drizzt leapt up and dashed out like a big, light cat. Gwenhhvar, a really light cat, followed, leaping over Catti-brie and into the hallway.It turned around so nimbly that the moment its paws hit the ground, Catti-brie unconsciously blinked and thought she was hallucinating. "No!" The drow who was about to die screamed from the corridor.Fenders had tortured, and the tortured warrior caught up to her, his eyes beating with vengeance. Guenhwyvar was right behind Drizzt, eager to help him.But the big cat was a step too late—a scimitar had already sunk into Fan Desi's belly. ※※※※ A moan nearby caught Catti-brie's attention, and she saw the wounded elf crawling towards the fallen weapon. Katie-brie quickly crawled closer, wrapped her legs around the opponent's neck, and tightened it tightly with all her strength.Two black hands tugged and hammered at her, but stopped shortly after, and Catti-brie thought she had surrendered, then suddenly noticed her lips squirming. She is reciting a spell! Catti-brie poked her fingers into the elf's eyes, purely on instinct.The chant turned to a scream of pain, which turned into a gasp as Catti-brie locked her legs tighter. Catti-brie hated doing it.Killing sickened her, especially a fight like this, where she had to live with the passing minutes until the other person suffocated. She caught a glimpse of Entreri's dagger not far away, and reached out to grab it.Tears of anger and loss of innocence filled her blue eyes as she held this wounding weapon in her hands. ※※※※ Guenhwyvar stopped, and Drizzt roughly pulled out the cutlass that had been driven in deeply, and took a step back. "Nau." A dazed Vanders repeated the drow word "no."It was almost tragic that the hateful Datak was so small in Drizzt's eyes now.Her pain intensified and she trembled violently. She fell at Drizzt's feet.Her lips moved, mouthing the word for the last time, but no sound came out of her breath-stopping mouth, and the red light disappeared from her eyes forever.
