Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 6 Reasonable Rules
When you reach the edge of the fog, a friendly reminder pops up in the center of the interface.

[Death Mist: The living shall not enter, the dead shall not leave]

"Xiao Nuo, don't search for weird stuff on the Internet. Players won't understand what you write."

"Okay, I'll revise all the map instructions again."

After the feedback, the system quickly modified the description.

[Death Mist: Danger Ahead]

“This change really makes it a lot clearer.”

There were also bone fragments piled up on the ground in the foggy area. Wang Yue went forward to take a look and saw a mountain of [Basic Bone Fragments].

"The scene is set up exactly the same. It looks like I will encounter elite monsters."

Wang Yue picked up the bone fragment and threw it into the fog to explore the way. He only heard the normal sound of it falling to the ground.

Then he tried to use [Bone Spike] to provoke the fog in front of him. After retracting the weapon, he continued to check and found nothing unusual.

"No emergency battle has been triggered. It should still be a field map."

While hesitating in front of the fog, his stomach began to growl again, and Wang Yue had no choice but to rush into the fog.

"It's okay. If I encounter a strong enemy, I still have ways to take advantage of it."

As Wang Yue entered the new map, the surrounding fog rushed towards him, and the purple air penetrated into his skin, making him feel a chill on his spine.

[Dark Energy: The spirit of death continues to flow into your body, and the dark energy fills your stomach]

[Duration: Permanent]

A charging buff effect appears in the upper right corner of the interface, which is an icon of a swollen demon.

"Is this possible? Fill your stomach by eating air?"

Wang Yue opened her mouth and swallowed the mist in big gulps. Although her mouth felt cold, her limbs suddenly became strong.

There were more broken bones piled on the ground in the foggy world, and there were many bone piles taller than him. The vision was unclear, and he had to be careful of lurking monsters.

"It's very dangerous. If there are monsters here, they must be at least level 5."

With the energy in my body, the feeling of hunger has disappeared and my steps are more powerful.

Wang Yue took every step very carefully, always paying attention to the movements around her.

"There won't be... no monsters here, right?"

After looking around, I saw nothing but bone fragments.

"I almost forgot. I have the map."

Wang Yue took out the [Ghost Map] from the package, and a map in the shape of a long-necked cup appeared on the parchment. At this moment, he was at the bottom of the cup. The [Bone Cemetery] where he was just now was the bottom of the cup, and the mouth of the cup was the exit of the fog map.

There were no other symbols on the map except for the purple dot representing his location.

"This is a one-way street. If there are monsters guarding it, I will definitely not be able to escape."

After going deeper into the purple mist, two red dots appeared on the parchment, which was a sign of the presence of monsters.

"Sure enough, there is something strange."

Wang Yue continued to move forward, and the two monsters finally appeared in the fog.

White skeletons float in the air. They are larger than [Skeleton Claws] and of a higher level.

[Skeleton Body: The core part of summoning a first-order skeleton, which is also the hardest part]

【Level: 5】

"This position is very awkward. It seems that we can only fight back."

The map was sandwiched between high mountains on both sides, and it was impossible to bypass the enemy and escape to the exit. Two [Skeleton Bodies] blocked the middle of the road, motionless and dormant.

They are very close to each other and there seems to be a treasure chest behind them.

"Fighting head-on is not my style. Even if I summon a bunch of cannon fodder it would just be a waste of time."

Wang Yue stopped and hesitated. She had no way to upgrade in such a short time and her means of improving her strength were very limited.

"It's not that there's no way, but if you make a mistake and get yourself killed, it's a big loss."

Just as he was thinking, Wang Yue, who was hiding behind the pile of bones, suddenly heard a noise.

He was panicked for a moment, thinking he had entered the monster's warning circle, so he ran back.

"Impossible, I'm so far away from them."

As he ran back, the sound continued and did not change in volume.

"Xiao Nuo, did I attract a monster?"

"Detecting... the player is out of combat."

The fog around was the same as usual, and there was no prompt other than [Dead Fog] in the interface.

When half of his physical strength was exhausted, Wang Yue still didn't find any figure catching up with him.

"What? Don't scare me."

Just when he was at a loss, an electronic prompt sounded in his ears.

[Experience gained: 90]

[Level Upgrade Current Level: 2]

"Eh?"

The voice message about the level increase made Wang Yue stop in his tracks. He found that a thin black light was covering his body.

The black light lasted for a long time before disappearing. Although Wang Yue did not feel that she had become stronger, her waist was no longer bent due to years of sitting.

"I was wondering why the noise was so loud, it turns out it was my bones making the noise. It doesn't feel bad, except that I feel a little cold..."

Wang Yue was very confused by the sudden experience she gained, as she did not complete the task or achieve any achievement.

Looking at the charging icon in the upper right corner of the interface, Wang Yue remembered what the system had said to her: "Please absorb energy in time."

"So that's what it meant."

In order to verify his idea, he decided to lie on the ground and wait quietly.

"Even if absorbing energy can help me level up, aren't people who rely on dark energy to become stronger usually villains?"

While waiting, my strength is slowly recovering.

When the physical strength is restored to the upper limit, the familiar prompt sound sounds again.

[Experience gained: 400]

[Level Upgrade Current Level: 3]

"Who cares? Long live dark energy!"

Wang Yue, who is at level 3, found that his bones had become a little harder, the joints of his fists had become thicker, and the bones in his wrists had also become thicker.

Wang Yue couldn't wait to reach a higher level, and the sound of celebration just now seemed to wake up the monster.

"Huff, Huff."

At this time, all the high-level [Skeleton Bodies] have woken up, and their ribs are moving, making unpleasant noises.

The two monsters moved outwards. With their large size and fast speed, they even knocked away the purple mist.

"There seems to be some movement... Oh no, those monsters have woken up."

Wang Yue heard the sound of "grunting" and he knew that the monsters were coming.

The monsters patrolling in the purple mist will discover him sooner or later, so he must take the initiative and kill one of them first.

"Dead Soul Calling."

After the upgrade, Wang Yue only used half of the mana consumed in casting spells, and the [Basic Skeleton] he summoned was level 3.

Although it is still cannon fodder compared to ordinary monsters, its attributes have been comprehensively strengthened.

"We can change the plan now. Let's try the normal way first."

[Skeleton Body] moves faster than [Skeleton Claws], and its huge skeleton makes it more difficult for Wang Yue to dodge.

The clear distance that can be seen in the purple fog is 50 meters, and the warning range of ordinary monsters is 30 meters, which can only give him 3 seconds to react.

"Little brother, go to the left and run back when you encounter a monster."

The map showed two red dots moving slowly towards Wang Yue, one on the left and one on the right.

Here, a time difference is needed to allow one of the monsters to enter the battle in advance. After entering the battle, the monster will move quickly, which can free up half of the battlefield for Wang Yue to fight head-on.

"Go."

The Level 3 [Lower Level Skeleton] was still stupid and silly. It nodded and ran towards the fog.

Wang Yue waited until his younger brother completely disappeared from his sight, then he turned around and started running back.

"Every second I hold out helps me cover more distance."

A smaller purple dot appeared on the map, representing the little skeleton he had just summoned. The purple dot soon met the red dot, and the two pressed together and entered into a battle.

However, three seconds later, the small purple dot disappeared from the map, indicating that it was destroyed by the monster.

"It can actually resist for three seconds, which means it's not an elite monster, but just an ordinary level 5 monster."

When the monster killed the little skeleton, Wang Yue saw the red dot accelerating towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Skeleton Body] can float in the air and is not affected by the terrain, but Wang Yue who is running on the ground has to avoid the piles of bones that serve as obstacles.

"It's really amazing to be able to fly."

It didn't take long for the monster to catch up with Wang Yue.

The floating monster made sounds with its ribs, and several white bones stretched out towards Wang Yue's back like sharp claws.

Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Wang Yue had already used up half of his strength in running, so he could only stop to save his energy for counterattack.

"It should be safe here."

Seeing that the other monster had not caught up and that he had successfully moved the battlefield far away, Wang Yue knew it was time to attack.

Wang Yue pulled out the [Bone Spike], turned around and stabbed at the floating enemy, aiming at the inside of the ribs.

[Damage caused: 3]

"Oops, it seems the rapier is a little short."

The weak point of [Skeleton Body] is wrapped by the ribs, which is the part of the spine.

However, its ribs are actually longer than the rapier, and a frontal attack cannot trigger a weakness determination because the weapon is too short.

[Warning: Bones Embracing Thorns]

The warning sounded, and the monster's open ribs approached Wang Yue like a Buddha's hand.

"Don't come over here. If you get hit you'll be disfigured."

He knew he couldn't be greedy for the sword, so he could only step back and parry.

However, the opponent had too many ribs, and the rapier was not a weapon used to block attacks. This attack failed to pass the blocking judgment, causing Wang Yue to suffer a great loss.

[Damage received: 5]

After reaching level 3, Wang Yue's maximum health reached 30. This attack hit him head-on, causing him to feel pain in about five places on his chest.

"If you fight me head-on, I will lose. I must avoid it."

After the monster cast the skill, its entire body fell downwards.

[Warning: Impact]

"good chance."

If the target falls to the ground, Wang Yue has the opportunity to stab its weak point from behind.

He dodged behind a pile of bones and used the scene obstacles to avoid collision.

[Damage received: 0 (Dodge)]

The monster crashed into the pile of bones. Seeing that the target was in a state of stiffness, he immediately approached and stabbed it from behind with a sword.

"Look at my righteous backstab."

The spinal bones were very hard and smooth, and Wang Yue's sword failed to pierce the bone in the middle, but instead slid towards the ribs.

After being stabbed in the ribs, Wang Yue felt the recoil from his arm, and the force almost made him let go of his weapon.

[Damage caused: 1 (deflection)]

"Bad luck, even the backstab was wrong."

When the player's level is lower than that of the monster, there is a high probability that the attack will be deflected, and the damage caused will be greatly reduced.

Wang Yue failed to hit the weak point, and instead his whole body became stiff due to the recoil.

What was worse was that the opponent flew up again, and he was unable to dodge even with the early warning.

"Damn it, I was careless."

The skill [Bone Thorns] was taken head-on by Wang Yue. His body was knocked away and his chest was stabbed countless times, each of which made him feel painful.

[Damage received: 5]

"You forced me to do this. The situation is critical now, so I have no choice but to use the most despicable tactics."

There were wails of pain coming from the pile of bones. After a long while, Wang Yue finally got up in a panic.

After several rounds, he found that his health bar had been reduced by half, while the opponent still had 90% of his health left.

"Okay, if you're a man, follow me."

He cursed all the time, but his body could only dodge awkwardly and his energy continued to be consumed.

The enemy's defense is so high that his attacks are ineffective. Now Wang Yue has only one thought, which is to escape.

"This monster's template is almost as strong as an elite monster. How could an ordinary undead monster be so strong?"

After the [Skeleton Body] flew up again, Wang Yue dodged to the side.

After dodging the attack, he immediately got up and used his last bit of strength to flee towards the border of the map.

This time he started running without looking back, and his energy consumption rate doubled.

"Luckily I've upgraded to level 3. If I were only level 1, I wouldn't be able to run halfway through."

The hint of [Bone Burial Ground] finally appeared in his sight, but the monster behind him was still chasing him relentlessly.

"Go back, the front is not your territory."

Seeing that his stamina bar was almost running out, his feet began to ache, and Wang Yue, who was slowing down, was about to be caught up.

At this moment, he happened to come to the edge of the purple mist, and the [Skeleton Body] hit his butt, causing him to fly out of the [Undead Mist].

"Ouch."

[Damage received: 3 (deflection)]

Relying on his butt as a buffer, Wang Yue did not suffer much damage.

He fell into the [Bone Graveyard], and the monster stopped at the edge of the map, motionless, with a layer of fog separating the two.

"saved."

Wang Yue, lying down, found that her heart was beating very fast, which was a sign of nervousness after surviving a disaster.

After he left the [Dead Mist], the [Dark Charge] status in the upper right corner also disappeared.

"Because I didn't leave the monster's alert range, but I was in another map that you couldn't reach, so you can only stay where you are."

He sat up slowly and spoke to the [Skeleton Body] in a preaching tone.

"That's the charm of the rules of the game, you understand."

The monsters on the opposite side cannot leave due to the rules of the game and just stay at the border.

"We are all forced by the rules. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

After his strength was half recovered, Wang Yue stood up, pulled out the bone spur, and prepared to test it carefully.

He tiptoed to the edge of the fog, quickly stabbed the monster with the bone spur, then turned around and ran away.

[Damage caused: 1 (deflection)]

Wang Yue ran two steps and looked back, only to find that the other party was still standing there, so he turned back with a sly smile on his face.

"I can't get through, it's always my turn now."

Convinced that the other party could not leave the purple mist, Wang Yue simply stood at the edge of the mist.

"After I've used this bug, I'll have Xiao Nuo fix it. It turns out that this kind of opportunistic method can't bring happiness to players."

He repeated the fencing thrust, completely treating the level 5 enemy as a target.

Prompts of 1 point of damage kept appearing, and the health bar of [Skeleton Body] was slowly shortening.

"You're really tough, but unfortunately I'm better than you."

When her right hand got tired, Wang Yue switched to her left hand. After both hands felt sore, Wang Yue simply sat on the ground to recover.

While resting, he did not forget to pick up the bone fragments on the ground. Any throw would cause 1 point of damage.

"You have to use the rules properly. A reckless person won't get far."

As Wang Yue stabbed out the last sword, a crack appeared on the monster's largest bone.

As more and more cracks appeared, the entire monster began to collapse and shatter, and the level 5 monster was killed by his sword.

"Hey, sometimes being mean isn't such a bad thing."
