Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 185 Life hangs on a thread

A group of blue-skinned trolls were carrying backpacks of coal, and behind them a red-skinned troll who looked like a contractor was cracking a whip to tell them to move quickly.

After arriving at the cave entrance, the stone spirit moved the stone on its head away and staggered several stones on its body to form steps for the trolls to walk out of the cave one by one.

After sending this batch of trolls away, the entrance was blocked again.

After confirming that there was no other movement, Finko walked out from behind the stone spirit. She looked at the unknown cave and chose to continue exploring forward.

A stone suddenly appeared in front of her. It was a stone spirit stopping her from moving forward.

"You think I shouldn't go any further?"

Shi Ling placed another stone and knocked on the entrance at the same time, signaling her to get out quickly.

Fink took two steps back, and the stone spirit, thinking she was retreating, took the stone back to its side.

But the next second, Finko, who had pulled away from the opponent, just ran up and disappeared from the hole in a sprint.

The stone spirit originally tried to chase after it, but thinking of the several times it had been stabbed by the spear, it chose to stay at the entrance of the cave.

Finko rushed into the cave and pricked up his ears, trying to listen to the movement in front of him.

The sound heard on the snowy mountain was getting closer and closer, and the sound was gradually becoming louder. The surrounding temperature was rising, and hot air was constantly coming out from inside the cave.

"It's the sound of mining. The trolls are mining inside."

Finn leaned against the wall and stuck his head out to observe the interior of the snowy mountain.

This place is called "Barber's Heart". The mine occupied by the trolls and the heat source of the trolls are all transported from here.

In addition to coal, iron ore can also be mined for forging armor, so this place is extremely secretive and there are many soldiers stationed here.

The mined ore is transported to the center of the mine, where special trolls are responsible for sorting and transporting the ore.

And all around, there are five-story platforms built with stones. Every two meters on each platform, there is a blue-skinned troll wielding an iron pickaxe, chiseling stones off the rock wall.

The red-skinned trolls act as overseers here, keeping an eye on the laborers to prevent them from slacking off or hiding ore.

At this point, Finko finally achieved her intended goal.

We can go back now that we know the specific situation inside the snow mountain. If Beifeng Town can take over the mine, the resource problem will be solved, and most of the potential trolls can be eliminated.

"Mr. William will definitely praise me if he knows."

Fink slowly backed away, but now she realized that all the trolls were moving away from the center of the mine.

The pitch-black ground slowly turned red, and a mark like a magic circle appeared on the ground.

The intense fire energy condensed into a fire dragon. The slow-moving trolls would have their clothes singed, while the fully formed fire dragon raised its head upwards and rushed to the top of the mountain, causing a violent vibration.

The fire dragon was smashed into pieces, leaving behind hundreds of flames that scattered and hit the hard-working trolls.

The unfortunate peon would die on the spot, and even if he was only slightly touched by fire, the burning pain would cause the troll great pain.

One or two flames fell into the cave, illuminating Finko's shadow, and at the same time a spear was shot accurately at Finko who was hiding in the cave.

"Intruder!"

The giant troll stood up, using its body to block all the flames that fell on it. Although the flames would leave scorch marks on its red skin, it threw several trolls towards the cave entrance as if nothing had happened.

Finko immediately activated [Sprint] and turned to run towards the cave entrance.

She was faster than all the trolls, and the distance between her and the pursuers kept increasing, and she soon reached the exit.

"Shi Ling, let me out."

Fink pointed at the exit and quickly ran to Shi Ling.

But the stone spirit did not move the stone blocking the cave entrance. It made a low sound, and a mark appeared on the huge rock representing its body.

"Slave Contract Technique?"

Finko was very familiar with the pattern of the mark, although the mark on her forehead had not appeared for a long time. She understood that this was a phenomenon when slaves rebelled against their masters.

The stone spirit was not willing to be a slave guarding the gate. Its master was the giant troll who threw the spear at Finko.

The stone spirit waved his arms reluctantly, and several stones hit Finko unexpectedly.

If Finko hadn't seen its health bar turn from yellow to red, he probably wouldn't have been able to react and dodge.

However, it is not so easy to get out. He has to quickly defeat the stone spirit in front of him, otherwise the troll chasing behind will definitely kill Finko.

But it is not easy for a level 22 werewolf to kill a level 25 stone spirit. Even defeating it is difficult, let alone making it unable to move in a short period of time.

"Mr. William, I'm afraid I can't make it back alive."

Finko drew his weapon, ready for a fight to the death.

The heat wave hit again, and the firelight in the cave reflected the shadow of the troll.

But in the next moment, an even more violent cold current surged out from the depths, and the troll holding the spear was frozen in the ice, unable to take another step forward.

Wang Yue's sweet dream was disturbed and the banging on the door forced him to get up.

He had already drawn his rapier, determined to teach the troublemakers a lesson.

"I am the boss of Beifeng Town. Don't knock on my door casually, no matter what the matter is."

He kicked the wooden door open and thrust his rapier forward, just glancing at Finch's hair.

"So it's you. What's wrong with you? Come in and tell me."

Looking at the werewolf with tearful eyes, Wang Yue thought that he had scared the other party. He did not have the heart to pursue the matter of waking her up while she was sleeping. Instead, he had to find a way to comfort the wolf girl who had been made to cry by him.

"Lord William, go and save Finko."

"Finko?"

Finch hugged Wang Yue from behind, twisted his head hard and wiped his tears on Wang Yue.

"Okay, okay, take your time."

In order to appease the aggrieved Finch, Wang Yue stood at the door and listened to her finish her words.

Finch told Wang Yue about the red-skinned troll that the group had discovered, and also told him that his sister had gone to explore deeper and had not returned yet.

"So, she might have gone to enemy territory and acted on her own initiative?"

Finch nodded, with the sweet berries unique to the ice field in his mouth, and his tears had completely disappeared.

"Well, with her level 22 strength, she will definitely not win if she encounters a bunch of monsters. Slowing down, imprisoning, or freezing will make her sprint ineffective."

He took out the evil spirit map and tried to sense the slave mark on Fenke's body. A gray icon appeared on the west side of the map, accurately telling Wang Yue Fenke's current location.

"Isn't this the snowy mountain that Miffy wanted to go to? Why did she go so far away?"

Wang Yue thought for a moment and then set off immediately. Although she started half a day earlier than planned, it was still in time for her to act now.

He took out a handful of [Ice Berries] and asked Finch to turn his grief and anger into appetite. He ran to Miffy's house to wake up the blue dragon in advance.

"It's a pity that such a nice house is going to be demolished soon."

The wooden door was completely frozen. In order to wake Miffy from her slumber, Wang Yue could only insert the weapon into the door.

Relying on the effect of [Corruption], he penetrated little by little, and finally roared inside from the hole he had drilled.

"Get up!"

The house exploded instantly, and ice and wood chips flew into the air.

The roaring snow and wind were mixed with a large amount of ice. The figure of the Dragon Girl was vaguely visible, but the blue light in her eyes was already burning like a flame.

"Are you looking for death? Didn't I tell you to wake me up tomorrow?"
