Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 70 Gathering and Preparing
After all the players left, Wang Yue was finally able to open her eyes and continue walking.

"This is really annoying. If hundreds of players surround me in the future, I will definitely go crazy. I must ask Xiao Nuo to help me think of a solution."

"Notice, the game can enable the function of blocking other players."

"That's great, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"The NPC's job is to communicate with players and serve their gaming experience."

Xiao Nuo’s words left Wang Yue speechless. Although he couldn’t find any reason to refute him, if he was surrounded by players again, he would definitely block this group of “annoying mosquitoes”.

"One or two is fine, but I clearly don't have any missions, but you still come to me for one. Am I a cow? You can't just squeeze in and get the missions."

After experiencing the hardships of being an NPC, Wang Yue felt that he still had a long way to go.

Fortunately, Rogge was by his side this time. Wang Yue felt much better when he thought that he was not the only one being annoyed.

"After I hand in the quest, I will probably be able to start the team battle. By then, I will have to think of a grand opening and introduce myself to the local players."

Wang Yue took out five [First-level Bone Fragments] from her bag and gave them to Rogge, asking him to bury the bones in the snow in advance.

"Is this related to the trial?"

“It’s just a little preparation.”

When the two returned to the Ice Fortress, cat people were already there to greet them.

“There will definitely be big moves next.”

A team of cat people led by the cat person [Mimi] were fully armed. They wore protective gear made of animal skins and were also equipped with slender wooden spears.

"This proves my strength. You can start the trial now."

Wang Yue handed her 20 portions of [Snowfield Silverfish]. After the cat man received the food, he took out the mission reward from his back.

[Catman Felt Shoes: Made of pure natural cat hair, can protect your feet in winter]

[Effect: Ice resistance +1%]

[Effect: Immune to the Snowman's Ice Storm]

"Another special prop."

This kind of equipment without defensive attributes can often only be used to deal with special battles. After completing the combat objectives, it can be thrown into the store and sold.

"As long as you are ready, the trial can begin at any time."

"Eh? Don't we have to wait for other players?"

[Mimi], standing in front of the fortress, directly threw out the task.

[Mission Objective: Resist the Snow Monster Attack]

[Task progress: 0%]

[Quest Reward: Trial Mark II]

Wang Yue felt that there was no need to rush this mission. Although he was very strong, a large number of ants could eat an elephant. He absolutely could not fail in front of the players.

So he chose to reject the mission and enter the Ice Fortress alone.

"I'll go in first to see how many players are here. If there are a lot of people, we can start the trial directly."

Rogge nodded and left him outside to bury the bone fragment that Wang Yue gave him first.

He started digging snow in front of the cat man openly, and then put the bone pieces in place one by one.

Inside the Ice Fortress, many players gathered in front of the statue.

A large group of equally armed cat people surrounded the statue, led by [Duoduo] who was introduced to the players.

As Wang Yue walked in, everyone focused their eyes on him.

"Should we start?"

"It seems there aren't enough people. There are only about twenty people here."

"Hurry up and call someone to bring all your friends over."

"I will start the live broadcast immediately and witness this great moment with the audience."

Players with nothing to do can have a [duel] here and kill time through PK.

Different from the red-name PK at night, [Duel] is a battle invited by players and can be carried out without turning on the PK mode.

And in the end, no one will die from the duel, the system will lock the loser's health at 1 point.

"Game plot animation, you can take a look if you are interested."

Dolly glanced at Wang Yue who was walking slowly, but soon lost interest and turned her attention to the next [Duel].

Surrounded by players, Wang Yue walked to the statue, pulled out the bone spur, and knelt on one knee.

"Please don't make the enemy too difficult. Goddess, please help me complete the trial easily."

Players could only see Wang Yue's mouth moving slightly, but could not hear him talking to himself.

"Master William must be saying some mysterious spells and getting blessings."

"I see he has so much hatred and bitterness, he must have a lot of stories."

After Wang Yue finished praying, he turned towards the fortress gate and stood quietly waiting for the players to arrive.

[Activated Teleport Node - Ice Fortress]

Wang Yue didn't expect that she just wanted to imitate the plot of a movie, but she actually triggered the function.

The ice sculpture emitted a dazzling blue light, and then the blue light shot out from the cat queen's eyes and carved a hexagram pattern in the center of the fortress.

The words were slowly lifted up from underground to the surface, and some of the symbols were exactly what Wang Yue had seen in the ruins outside the [Shelter].

The cat people guarding the fortress were attracted by the noise. In addition to the [Cat Guards] who were originally surrounding the ice sculpture, there were also ordinary cat people living in the fortress who gathered in front of the ice sculpture.

There are quite a few kittens among ordinary cat people. They are all weak level 1 beings. They look cute and well-behaved, making people want to touch them.

"We have now triggered a key plot. Under the leadership of NPC William, we will guard the Ice Fortress and protect these weak cat people."

Maple Leaf had already started the live broadcast, and the audience witnessed the ice sculpture teleportation array, and later the cat people gathered in the center of the fortress.

“I think, even though we are just players, I also want to protect them now.”

Protecting the weak is instinctive, and with such a huge formation, the difficulty of the mission and the rewards must be extremely rich.

Players rushed to the fortress through messages from their friends. Players from the entire map gathered here, 50 more than the expected 20 people.

When all the players arrived, Rogge completed the task assigned to him by Wang Yue and came under the ice sculpture.

"Everyone, we will definitely win today."

Amid the cheers of the players, Wang Yue pointed his sword at the gate of the Ice Fortress and led the players to the door.

Following him were the [Cat Guards]. All the cat people were mobilized in this battle, and all level 5 cat people came to the outside of the fortress.

[Task accepted]

After the players accepted the mission, a group of snowmen appeared under the snowy hills on the ice field.

They look like gorillas, with long white hair covering their bodies. The snowman is stronger than the three wild boars and has a certain degree of intelligence.

As if they had received some kind of inspiration, the snowmen moved towards the [Ice Fortress] in groups. Due to their huge size, they trampled the snow into slush.

The frightened [Snow Wild Boar] could only flee far away, simply because it sensed the danger.

The attributes of these snowmen are 20% higher than theirs in terms of panel alone, and there are elite monsters as leaders in the team.

They are all level 7, and they are huge in size and have a wider attack range, which is a big challenge for players.
