Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 106 Cleanup Begins

The players logged in as usual, and after the fourth day, they discussed the next battle on the seabed.

However, the players who broke through believed that it would be impossible to clean up all the monsters that kept appearing, so most people were not optimistic about today's battle.

"Do we really have to surround and kill so many demons? I don't know how many times we have to revive to kill them all."

"Who said we have to kill them all? We haven't received the mission yet. Maybe they want us to take the enemy general's head directly."

"I guess it's another escape mission. Most likely, they're escorting the mermaid queen away and running away in disgrace."

"I always feel that this game is getting more and more difficult. No wonder the previous batch of players failed."

While waiting for their companions to come online, the players discussed today's tasks.

They noticed that there were many more merman guards around them, but compared to the demons outside the palace, their number was still too small.

"Warriors, don't give up. Victory is just around the corner."

Wang Yue approached the players and cheered them on.

The real threat has been eliminated by him, and the demons will not increase anymore. Even without Baby's help, the players can survive on their own.

"Look, there's a new young lady here."

"Hmm? This sister is not small. Don't yell, she is my sister."

Baby was hammering herbs at the bottom of the stairs. She looked harmless, but that was only if no one disturbed her while she was making the potion.

So the players who were noisy and approached her were naturally treated by the plants. Each player had his legs grabbed and was thrown far away.

"It's thorns that are entangled. She is a poet of a high level."

"It's a pity that I can't see what level she is, and I don't know if she will help in the battle."

"Hehe, now that there's a stronger NPC in charge, I won't leave. I'll just wait here for the demon to come and die."

The player who was looking for trouble finally received a notification from the game system that the mission would be issued in 1 minute, requiring everyone to reach the protective shield facing the palace.

Wang Yue was also one of them. This time he called Morgana and the other two who were following him and asked them to join the battle together.

When Morgana met Wang Yue today, she first smelled a more complex scent, and then she sensed the triple trial mark on Wang Yue's body.

"Master Trialist, I didn't expect that you could complete the trial without our help. This really surprises me."

"It's on my way, because it's blocking my way back."

Although Wang Yue knew that he had collected three types of trial marks, these marks were neither props nor enhancements, and he did not understand the functions of the marks.

"I know too well that the trial-takers are different. You may not need me anymore, but please don't abandon a delicate woman like me. I hope to witness your final reward."

Morgana changed her cold and fierce expression, her face was full of flattery, and her words were full of tenderness.

She also deliberately moved her body closer to Wang Yue, trying to show her goodwill.

"There's actually a reward. No wonder I couldn't find the mark. It turns out to be an invisible key-like item."

Wang Yue quickened her pace, and the woman's thoughts came to nothing.

He now has to follow the players to clear out the demons, with his mind completely focused on the monsters.

"Trialists and followers, please lead us to drive out the invaders. In return, our guardian beasts will send you to the Holy Land of Trial to receive the final reward."

[Mission objective: Clear the demons from the Mermaid Holy Land (0%)]

[Quest Reward: Teleport to the Holy Land of Trial]

The one who spoke was an ordinary mermaid guard. He was only responsible for initiating missions, and the mission rewards would be settled automatically after completion.

After the players accepted the mission, the front protective shield opened for them, and the mermaid guards who had recovered from the potion rushed out first.

"This is the final battle and I will never retreat."

After realizing that the Skeleton Snowmen would be indistinguishable from each other, Wang Yue used the bone fragments obtained from the Faceless Man to summon a tentacle monster made of bones.

[Tentacle Skeleton: A slimmed-down version of the Faceless Man, capable of stealing skills from monsters]

【Level: 14】

The skeleton with bones connected together is a weakened Faceless Man. Although it retains the level +1 feature, it can only steal one skill.

Wang Yue summoned two at once, one on the left and one on the right to protect him.

In front of him is the mermaid who has a blood feud with the devil, and behind him is the player who can be resurrected infinitely. There is no suspense in the battle anymore.

The demons sensed such a large number of enemies and woke up from their slumber, ready to launch a sneak attack from the darkness on the seabed.

The huge white crystal stone now served as a cover for the demons. They targeted the mermaids who were looking for enemies above, hid behind the stone and began to cast [Ice Arrows].

"howl!"

After the Faceless Man shouted, more than a dozen [Ice Arrows] were aimed at the first mermaid guard that appeared. It was shot into an ice sculpture on the spot and died instantly.

However, the tail of the [Ice Arrow] also exposed the position of the demons. The mermaid cast a shield for herself and moved quickly towards the demons behind the crystal.

The battle turned into a chaos from the beginning. With the advantage of long-range firepower and numbers, as well as the cunning demons hiding in the dark, the mermaid guards suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, their sacrifice has opened up a safe path for the players. The players following Wang Yue only need to help the mermaid and output with the second hatred without the danger of being attacked.

"This mission is very stable, and no elite monsters appear."

"You better shut up, just in case a boss shows up and wipes us out."

"I've learned my lesson this time. Look, I've put on the mermaid's necklace. It's mission-critical equipment, understand?"

The players watched the progress bar increase rapidly. It only took half an hour to complete from 0% to 50%. Although most of the mermaids died, none of the players died once.

Wang Yue also discovered that this attack was too smooth. It seemed that the demons had no leader, and the monsters they cleared out were all his subordinates.

"That shouldn't be the case. Even if no boss-level demon appears, there should at least be an elite monster here for the players to test their swords on."

The new summons perform well on the battlefield. The skill they stole is [Frost Arrow], which can cause 14 damage when used by a level 30 [Skeleton Tentacle].

At the same time, because it is a long-range skill, there is no need to worry about attracting monsters and being killed immediately.

"Let me think, these demons won't go and steal my house, right?"

Wang Yue looked back and saw that the water bubbles protecting the palace had been upgraded and would not be destroyed immediately even if attacked violently.

The protective shield was now intact, and he did not see any demons escaping from behind.

"It should be fine. Baby is there. If they steal, it would be the devils seeking death."

[The summoned Skeleton Snowman has died]

A message suddenly popped up on the game interface, and the skeleton snowman he stored behind the palace was actually dead, which meant that the enemy had already gone around to the back of the map.

"My house was really robbed?!"

Wang Yue had to turn back immediately, and some players, out of curiosity, also followed her back to the Mermaid Palace.
