Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 172 Team Assembling
When the Maple Leaf team returned to the town, the three friends couldn't wait to buy mining tools.

There are randomly appearing mining sites in the forest. To mine, you need a little bit of luck, or learn about the mining sites from other players.

But they haven't left the team yet. After all, they are following the host, so no matter how excited they are, it's not easy for them to speak directly.

"How about this, why not leave the opportunity to other viewers in the live broadcast room, giving you time to experience the fun of a secondary profession."

Helping others to achieve their goals is a virtue. Fengye saw that the team members were eager to try, so she spoke up and gave them a way out.

The fans apologized and left the team, leaving a vacant position. Many players in the live broadcast room quit watching and turned online to join the team.

At this moment, Fengye saw the familiar fat cat walking towards her.

"Eh? Aren't you the female anchor from the beta test?"

Fat Cat was the first to say hello, and she was accompanied by Kotonoha and Lao Zhou.

Maple Leaf's memory was not very good, and he only felt that Kotonoha looked a little familiar, but he did not connect the girl with the killer on the Trial Island.

"I remember you're a big streamer, right? How come there are only two people in your team? Oh, I remember you, the pickle who bought the beta account and didn't know anything."

Paocai touched the back of his head and felt embarrassed. The two of them had fought in the same team before, but at that time Paocai's presence was very low and his strength was not strong.

"Three people just left Sister Fengye's team, so it's just right to add the three of you. Since you are all level nine, let's go to the border of the map to look for tasks together."

While waiting, Paocai read the comments of netizens. Some players who reached level 10 ahead of time shared the tasks at the intersection of woodland and grassland. If completed, they can reach level 10.

"I don't have any problem, but do your two friends mind?"

Maple Leaf looked at Yanye and Lao Zhou. The warrior Lao Zhou waved and greeted them, but the wizard Yanye didn't move, but just sent a "OK" on the nearby channel.

Maple Leaf and Pickle joined Fat Cat's team, and a new team was formed, with Assassin Fat Cat as the captain.

"Why is there no voice this time? And why are your movements a bit stiff?"

Shortly after the group left the town, the robot-like Fat Cat and Kotonoha caught Maple Leaf's attention.

Fat Cat could only respond by typing, saying that he was using a non-holographic projection device to play the game.

"Their controls may be a bit stiff, but both of them have good equipment. Haha, anyway, this is the first time I've seen such a lucky player, but you have to be more careful in the battle."

Lao Zhou has been taking care of the two girls' leveling up like a nanny. He doesn't know why, but even though there aren't many monsters spawning, every time they move to a new place, the two always get an extra piece of green gear.

Fortunately, their equipment is so good that they have overwhelming numerical advantages, so they can play so easily using machines from the last era.

"It was the same during the internal test. Fat Cat Sister was not only good at using the dagger, but she also got the good equipment, except for the time with the Snowman King."

Paocai immediately shut his mouth. He remembered that this young lady had a bad temper. If he mentioned the black equipment again, she would probably be backstabbed.

"Haha, it's a pity that I don't have the qualification to be tested, so I can't see our young lady's active figure. I have nothing to do on the road, so why don't you privately chat with me for some inside information."

Seeing that Fat Cat and Kotonoha were indifferent, Kamachi plucked up the courage to continue speaking.

Maybe it was a problem with the equipment, or maybe it was because both parties were very familiar with each other, Fat Cat asked Paocai to play in the team channel, and everyone recalled the stories of the internal test together.

Maple Leaf occasionally chimes in, but most of the talk is done by editor Paocai.

Unknowingly, the team arrived at the border of the [Dead Leaf Forest], ready to complete the last mission of the Novice Village.

When all the adventurers were heading towards the northern grasslands, two cloaked figures were heading towards the woods against the crowd.

The two are [Louis] and [Gilly]. Among the players, only Wang Yue knows that Louis is the mayor's biological son. However, he is wrestling with trolls on the ice field and has no time to tell the players the story behind this.

It is natural to strike up a conversation when you meet an NPC. Even if passing players have not seen the quest, they will tentatively approach and ask.

"Where did all these bronze-level adventurers come from? But what's the use of bronze-level adventurers? They are no match for those beasts."

"Please don't talk nonsense outside. The mayor had a hard time getting you out."

"Watch your attitude, Silver Level. My father will definitely lead humanity back to its feet, but now he needs time and some bargaining chips."

"Yes, I believe Mr. Ross."

Every time they asked, the conversation was exactly the same. Players asked too many questions but there was nothing new to come, so they just left it alone and continued to move towards the new world.

Louis and his duo were not walking all the time. They would also be attacked, and they would stop to rest after walking for a while, as if they were waiting for something.

"I have a feeling. I keep hearing a name when I was half asleep these past few days. He will be the key to saving Liberty Town."

"But what is that name? You never told me."

"Hush, maybe it was a dream from the gods. This place is very close to the god of the North Wind. Maybe..."

They walked to the junction of the map, which was the [Dead Leaf Woodland], where grew a unique creature called [Woodland Treeman].

[Woodland Treeman: A plant driven by natural energy that can move and hit people with branches]

【Level: 9】

Treemen are yellow names. If you don't actively attack, these monsters will not attack passers-by, and the same goes for NPCs.

The two were just passing by at this time, and their destination was [Woodland Town], which was the nearest human town.

Louis thought that since they were human forces, the soldiers over there would probably help.

"Compared to humans, these tree people have neither strength nor appearance. They are completely inferior creatures."

Louis is level 19. With a simple swing of his iron sword, he can chop the tree man in half, and the opponent's health is also reduced by half.

Then another stab pierced into the heart of the tree, and an innocent [Woodland Tree Man] lost his vitality instantly.

"Let's go, Jili, this is really boring."

The force suppression made Louis' sword as smooth as cutting tofu, which made the second generation mayor lose interest.

But the dead leaf forest did not intend to let them go. It attacked not the tree people, but the tree roots that emerged from under its feet.

"Be careful, it's the trees around you that are attacking."

The bodyguard Gilly took off the iron bow behind him, and Louis replaced the iron sword with a silver bow. The two of them first shot randomly at the ground below, but only broke some tree roots, and the main bodies were not injured.

The two are not players, so they cannot see the health bars and monster descriptions, and can only attack based on their feelings.

The dead trees around were the most suspicious targets. After shooting a few arrows, instead of stopping the tree roots from growing, it seemed to have angered the forest, and more roots grabbed the two men.

In the end, even the silver-level adventurer Jili lost his ability to fight and was hung in the air by the tree roots, unable to fight back.

"Look, there's an NPC hanging in the air."

At this time, the Fat Cat Team arrived and saw Louis and Gilly being hung up.
