Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 28 Puzzle Trial
"You dog skeleton, it hurts me to death."

This was the first time that Wang Yue felt the pain of a knife piercing his body. The stinging pain spread from his shoulder to all parts of his body, and even the fingers that were holding the weapon felt numb.

[Damage received: 20 (weakness)]

By the time the stun effect wore off, the [Skeleton Soldier] had already raised his weapon and was ready to strike again.

At this moment, Goudan rushed over from behind it, and the two skeletons crashed into the wall together.

"Goudan, don't fight it head-on, scratch its back."

Wang Yue took the opportunity to escape quickly.

Using the shortest possible time to cast the effect of [Dark Healing] on himself, he began to run towards the castle gate.

[Dogdan receives damage: 10]

The skeleton soldiers knocked Goudan to the ground in just one round. He did not forget to stand there with his teeth bared and roaring silently.

The enemy slightly adjusted the angle of the skull, and after finding the target, it moved quickly towards Wang Yue again with its weapon in hand.

"I can only block the perspective first, and then find an opportunity to read the bar and continue to delay."

Wang Yue looked at his condition and found that he only had 55 health points left. To be on the safe side, he decided to spend more time.

After running to the gate, he immediately dodged to the side, causing the monster to lose its target at this moment, but the skeleton soldiers only paused for a second before moving again.

"That should be enough for now."

With the one second gained and the two seconds of distance, Wang Yue successfully summoned the [Basic Skeleton].

In order to prevent the cannon fodder from being eliminated immediately, he ordered the skeletons to move to a distant place.

"Here we go, it's time for a head-on confrontation."

Wang Yue outside the door heard the sound of footsteps, and he had already clenched his [Painful Bone Spur].

The moment he saw the enemy sticking his head out, he stabbed at the skull with his sword.

[You cause damage: 16 (restraint)]

The attack was effective, but the attack followed.

[You receive damage: 10]

The skeleton soldier slashed Wang Yue's chest with a knife, making him feel the gastric juice churning in his body.

"Let me show you the charm of a melee necromancer."

Wang Yue endured the discomfort, drew out the rapier, and continued to stab the opponent's chest skeleton.

The skeleton soldiers had no sense of pain. The long sword that had just chopped horizontally instantly changed direction and chopped again diagonally downward.

Wang Yue did not block and let the knife hit his body. Perhaps because he was wearing the [Inferior Demon Cloak], he did not feel that much pain.

He kept retreating, pulling the battlefield closer to the sea.

"Right now... I'll go ahead..."

Goudan and his little brother kept scraping in the back, and 2 points and 3 points of damage slowly floated out, while Wang Yue in the front blocked all the attacks, and he was also the source of the main damage.

Although he had a buff that continuously increased his health, Wang Yue now only had 20 health points left.

His opponent only had 51 health points left, and his own stamina had reached its limit.

"There's still a little left, but it's really hard to beat."

Seeing victory in sight, Wang Yue was finally able to breathe with a smile.

[Warning: Brutal collision]

"I forgot, its skill CD is also ready."

The skeleton soldiers are about to charge. If you are hit by the skill, all your efforts will be wasted.

Wang Yue listened to his own breathing and the sound of waves hitting the rocks in the distance, and he had a bold idea.

"Not all skeletons can swim, right?"

Wang Yue's heels slid forward and her whole body fell backwards.

Behind him was a shallow area of ​​water, with sand and stones mixed together. If the back of his head had hit the stones directly, he would have died on the spot.

So this is another way of gambling with your life.

"Shh."

The skeleton soldier rushed to the place where the sea water just touched it, stopped in place and swung a knife. The knife cut through the air, leaving only the sound circling above Wang Yue's head.

[Damage received: 0 (Dodge)]

"I didn't expect the stun to still work."

The stun took effect and Wang Yue fell down.

The shallow sea water could not support his head, and his whole body sank into the sand, leaving only his head floating on the water, looking up at the enemy.

The skeleton soldier was stuck in place and couldn't take another step, while the two skeletons behind it never stopped attacking.

“Slowly scrape, don’t rush.”

The minions continued to cause single-digit damage, and cracks slowly began to appear on the skeleton soldiers' bodies.

When the health bar dropped to zero, the skeleton soldier still maintained the posture of holding the knife, allowing his body to collapse from bottom to top, and finally turned into bones again.

[First-level bone fragment: A bone fragment that has absorbed a small amount of dark energy and is already very strong]

New trophies appeared, and Wang Yue also completed the first trial.

[Mission Target: Steward’s Trial (1/3)]

[Rapier proficiency improvement]

[Current proficiency level: 8]

"If I had known there would be such an opponent, I should have brought my boatswain brother with me."

Being both level 10, the boatswain in the [Shelter] has more skills and a more fluid attack method, whereas this skeleton soldier obviously only has the most common monster template.

Although he defeated the enemy, Wang Yue now felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Two followers pulled him up from the shallow water and prepared him to take on the butler's second test.

"Fortunately, my clothes didn't get wet after I came out of the water, otherwise I would have caught a cold sooner or later if I had been blown by the sea breeze."

In the game world, even if Wang Yue can't swim he doesn't have to worry about drowning.

The buoyancy of the water in the game is always enough to support the player. If the player wants to dive, he only needs to doggy paddle downwards to move.

In addition, players who can really swim will feel at home in the water world. As long as the posture is correct, the movement speed of a swimmer will be much faster than the default speed of the game.

After entering the hall, Wang Yue first noticed that there was a lot more light in the room.

"I've passed the first one, what's the second one?"

He threw a piece of [First-level Bone Fragment] at the butler's feet, then sat on the ground, resting and waiting for the second trial.

The hall changed again at this time.

An upward stone staircase appeared in the center. The ceiling of the hall was covered with [Secondary Light Runes] and there were torches on the walls. These were the reasons why the room became bright.

"The second test is to find the way to the second floor."

The skeleton butler took out a piece of parchment out of thin air and threw it to Wang Yue.

This was a piece of parchment covered with words. After the parchment floated into Wang Yue's hand, the butler retreated to the corner again.

Before Wang Yue could figure out the situation, a voice came from above the stairs.

"Young new master, please come to the second floor of the castle before all the words disappear."

The words on the parchment had begun to burn, and the black words were twisting and dancing on the parchment.

People cannot read ten lines at a glance, but the system prints all the text on the parchment on the interface.

[I have always been confused as to why our clan, which fears sunlight, carved so many lighting runes in the castle and even placed torches at the gate.]

[My grandfather likes to tell about his past, when we coexisted with humans, and the vampires had noble character and extraordinary taste. But on the day of reckoning for humans, it was us who suffered misfortune, while the dirty ratmen and trolls survived.]

[The recipe for sea snake blood wine is on the top floor, my grandfather put the ingredients in the cellar, and I live on the second floor. What a stupid behavior, if it were me, I would put them in the middle]

"Decryption mission..."

Wang Yue sighed. He knew that he would not be able to solve the problem in a short time with his IQ.

"Xiao Nuo, open the forum."

But it will be different if the difficult problem is given to the players. There will definitely be one out of a hundred players who can solve the problem.
