Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 72 Next Day Internal Test
Before reaching the Ice Fortress, the snowmen finally stopped, and they, led by the [Elite Icefield Snowmen], built a snow barrier on the spot.

The snowmen advanced slowly while piling up snow. If any units approached actively, they would be killed instantly by the snowmen.

"Don't waste your fighting power."

Wang Yue drew his rapier and retreated back to the entrance to the fortress.

Some players were still hesitating, but after seeing Dolly decisively retreating, all the players followed suit and retreated into the passage.

The passage of the Ice Fortress is only wide enough for five players to pass through. If a snowman wants to enter, the passage can only accommodate one snowman.

Watching the cat people leave the snow in front of the fortress, the snowman leader ordered a small group of snowmen to leave the advancement team and approach the target alone.

When they approach the only entrance to the fortress, they first need to walk from both sides of the "T"-shaped entrance to the middle before they can enter the entry passage.

Because the AI ​​logic is too simple and cute, the snowman turned the corner and immediately moved forward along the path finding method.

But by the time it found its first target, it was too late. Melee players had already been waiting around the corner, and ranged players cast spells and shot as soon as it appeared.

Now they have become targets and will fall down in just three seconds.

"The current progress is only 10%. There will definitely be more snowmen in the future. Don't let your guard down."

This is the tactic arranged by Dolly. Although it doesn't look very good, it is safe and efficient.

After the player is hurt, the [Cat Guardian] will immediately attack the attacking snowman, but often the snowman will fall down before the snowman walks out of the passage.

The cat-man who lost his target could only return to his original place, but soon a new target appeared, and the cat-man who had just returned to his original place kept running back and forth in the passage.

"If it's just this pace, it seems like I have nothing to do with it."

Wang Yue stood there supervising the battle. He didn't need to take action as long as there was no snowman approaching.

Now the players have killed several snowmen by taking advantage of the buildings, and the opponent should be serious about it.

None of the snowmen who had set out came back, which undoubtedly made an elite snowman realize that something was wrong. He stopped a dozen snowmen who were building snow barriers on the ice field.

Since the cat-people didn't move out to attack, they didn't need to defend themselves.

As the [Elite Icefield Snowman] roared, the snowmen it led stopped their defensive fortifications and ran towards the fortress gate together.

The leading elite snowman directly used the skill [Snowball Technique]. Driven by the ice energy, the snow on the ground accumulated into snowballs in front of it.

The snowball grew bigger and bigger, and the snowman's speed became faster and faster. It aimed at the entrance of the fortress and smashed it with the snowball, which eventually became the size of a house.

"boom!"

The players in the passage heard a loud noise, and a big hole was smashed opposite.

The "T"-shaped entrance became an open cross because the front was smashed.

The snowmen can directly see the players in the passage, and they directly cast [Frost Arrows] aiming at the players in front.

Now the roles are reversed, the players become the targets of being killed, and the snowman casting spells in the distance becomes a "meat grinder".

"What should we do? Continue to retreat into the fortress?"

The front row players were quickly cleared out by the monsters, leaving only the fragile back row players.

Dolly was about to let the players retreat to the next location, but Wang Yue drew his sword at this moment and rushed forward.

"Although I should retreat logically, if I retreat any further I won't be able to see the skeletons I arranged to appear."

When everyone was retreating, Wang Yue, whose whole body was flashing with black light, rushed to the front.

Rogue's [Shield of Truth] wrapped around Wang Yue, and his [Painful Bone Spikes] wrapped in dark energy pointed at the snowman leader.

"Take your head."

[Elite Ice Snowman] With the support of the elite template, its health will reach 200 and its attack power should also be 20.

This level is the same as Wang Yue's level 10, but the opponent has snowmen around him. If these monsters punch Wang Yue one by one, he will not have an easy time.

Following Wang Yue were not only Rogge, but also the cat people guarding the fortress.

They only identified Wang Yue who triggered the trial, so after he attacked, the level 5 [Cat Guard] also chose to move forward to attract the hatred of the snowman.

[Add blood to William, don't let him die! ]

The fat cat kept refreshing the frequency in nearby channels and finally attracted the attention of the players.

The retreating players found that the cat people had all moved forward, so they stopped retreating and continued to provide support from the original position.

The close combat that they had survived was of no use from a distance. Seeing the situation reversed again, they turned back without hesitation and charged again.

[Are the weak resurrected people ready? I'm dead, hurry up and take over]

[Keep an eye on William's health. Even if I die, I have to make sure he's alive.]

Wang Yue, who was at level 10, was very touched. His health barely dropped to 90%.

Although he cried out in pain every time the snowman hit him, Wang Yue always remembered that he was a hero now, and heroes cannot cry out in pain or retreat.

"Dog Snowman, I am a necromancer. I am the one who gangs up on others. When have I ever seen anyone gang up on me alone?"

Wang Yue decided not to wait any longer; it was time to use the method he had already arranged.

【Dead Soul Summon】

[First-level Undead Conditions Met]

【Mana Satisfied】

[Skeleton Hound Summoning]

The first-level bone fragment obtained from the demon dog was used to summon new subordinates. Wang Yue pushed the snowman's fist away with a sword, and then inserted the rapier into the ground.

"Summoning the Dead, hunting these snowmen."

Behind the snowman, the snow that buried the bone fragments was washed away by the black light.

The hound driven by dark energy is more agile and its sharp teeth have a corrosive effect.

They rushed into the snowman pile from the back, interfering with the snowman who was casting [Frost Arrow] from a distance, reducing the pressure on treatment.

On the other side, the ten minutes of [Weak Resurrection] have arrived, and more players have joined the battlefield.

There is no strategy in the battle now. As long as players see the snowman casting a spell, they will pounce on it. Players with low health will retreat on their own initiative, and there will be healers to heal them.

This is just the first wave of a dozen or so snowmen led by the elite snowman.

Almost all the players died once, and the cat people, except for the leader, all died one after another. Wang Yue also used up all the bone fragments hidden in the snow, and the summoned hounds were smashed to death by the snowmen because they were too fragile.

The mission progress has only reached 30%, the situation is extremely bad.

[1 minute countdown to next day's internal test]

【Please arrange your offline time reasonably】

"What? You asked us to log off so soon? Didn't we just play for a short time?"

"I haven't killed enough people yet, why is there a sudden countdown?"

The players were complaining about the system. This challenge mission had not been completed yet and everyone was still unsatisfied.

Wang Yue also immediately contacted "Xiao Nuo" and asked him what was going on.

"According to the system calculation, the player's chance of winning is 0%."

"Then adjust the difficulty. There are so many fierce snowmen, how can we possibly defeat them?"

Wang Yue said that she had tried her best and the players also actively participated in the battle, but the opponent also suppressed her with long-range firepower.

"The problem is you, you're too conservative."

"keep?"

Wang Yue thought about it and understood that the system was asking him to find someone stronger for help.
