Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 78: Fighting the Snowman Again
[Countdown to continue the mission: 5 minutes]

【Players please be prepared】

With the main character Wang Yue in place, the [Cat Guards] once again gathered behind him.

After one night, these guards increased from level 5 to level 6, and the players also reached level 7 yesterday.

What was different from yesterday was that the players no longer swarmed outside the fortress, but stayed inside the fortress, leaving the passage to the NPCs.

"They don't want me to be cannon fodder, do they?"

Players can hide in corners, but Wang Yue cannot. He must guard the passage to prevent the snowmen from attacking inside.

Fortunately, he took care of all the troublesome elite snowmen at night, and the remaining ordinary snowmen could not pose any threat to him at all.

[The players have unified their tactics. We will use you as a target at level 11. Good luck to you.]

Fat Cat sent the internal information in time, and Wang Yue shuddered after seeing it.

When Wang Yue thought of more than a dozen [Ice Arrows] hitting her fragile body, she worried whether she would still have unbruised skin after this battle.

"You guys are playing games, but I'm playing with my life."

[Quest continues: Trial of the Ice Fortress]

After the prompt popped up, Wang Yue had no choice but to rush into the passage.

While sprinting, he did not forget to shout "For the lost glory" to show off his status, but looking at the dark army of snowmen in the distance, his hand holding the sword was shaking a little.

"This can't be... all of them are here?"

All the ordinary snowmen in the camp ran towards the fortress like crazy. When they woke up from the strange state, they found that their leaders had died mysteriously.

Driven by anger, the snowmen no longer used the clumsy method of slow advancement and wave-by-wave consumption. Instead, they used the simplest method of overwhelming the enemy with a large army, charging towards the fortress in a disorganized manner.

Looking at the large number of snowmen, the cat people following Wang Yue took a few steps back and left the task of bearing the damage to the hero in front of them.

"Don't retreat anymore. How can you let the Necromancer be a meat shield?"

If there weren't dozens of pairs of eyes watching him from behind, Wang Yue would have already run to the corner and backstabbed the snowman using a despicable perspective-blocking tactic.

Now he can only strike poses and speak his lines in a calm and relaxed manner.

“May the force be with you!”

After saying that, Wang Yue pulled a [Basic Skeleton] to his side to give him courage.

"What does the foreign language William just said mean?"

"I just checked, it means don't be too presumptuous, it's useless."

"As expected of a big boss, what he said is so profound."

The snowmen are approaching, and of course they are also the ones who have become stronger after overnight.

From level 7 to level 8, the Snowman is more difficult to kill, but the damage of [Frost Arrow] is only slightly increased.

Several snowmen charging ahead had begun to accumulate ice energy, but Wang Yue still stood there, motionless.

"Humph, if I can't run too far, I would definitely stab you to death."

Players cast spells at a distance. If Wang Yue runs into a group of monsters to fight, he will be too far away from the player responsible for treatment, resulting in no blood being added.

For the sake of her own safety, Wang Yue could only watch the snowman throwing ice cubes at her.

While Wang Yue was suffering, Feng Ye was explaining things calmly and calmly.

"The poet's initial skill is Thorns. They can use the anti-injury skill on others, which can also increase the poet's output."

After Maple Leaf explained the effect of [Thorns], she asked "Kimchi" to cast Thorns on Wang Yue, successfully causing counter-damage to the snowman who cast the spell.

"The hatred of the anti-injury caused by Thorns will only be counted on the target that receives the buff. The poet must keep Thorns on the player who attracts the monster's hatred."

When the other players saw the thorn ball floating on Wang Yue’s body, they immediately understood what they should do.

The poet players all cast [Thorns] on Wang Yue, and in an instant you can see Wang Yue's body covered with thorn balls, which looks very dangerous.

"It would be great if I could counterattack, but it makes me look like a bit of a loser."

Wang Yue was just about to express some opinion about his appearance when suddenly his body was wrapped in golden light. As the golden light continued to accumulate, he could not even see the situation in front of him.

[Benefit obtained: Truth Shield]

The priest's shield that absorbed damage continued to be put on Wang Yue. The light pollution caused by more than a dozen shields made Wang Yue close his eyes.

The advantage is that the damage from the [Ice Arrow] is absorbed by the shield, so Wang Yue no longer suffers physical pain.

Even if the shield is broken, as long as Wang Yue's blood volume drops a little, the scale-arranged [Light Healing] sound effect will sound in his ears, so he doesn't have to worry about death at all.

"Paladin, pay attention to your mana and restore it on time according to the groups we have divided. Gin, your mana is running low. If you don't have a mana-restoring drink, come and trade with me."

Under Fengye's command, players began to maximize the use of Wang Yue, a high-level human shield, while relying on long-range stealth output.

Melee combatants are only responsible for cheering from a distance and waiting for a suitable opportunity to enter the field.

"The snowmen are out of mana. They are going to engage in close combat. Melee teams, keep an eye on the health of your team members and only attack the nearest target."

After Wang Yue took 20 rounds of damage, the snowmen finally ran out of mana to cast [Frost Arrow].

Without the threat of ranged spells, melee fighters can safely find targets to attack.

The warriors in front were looking at the same target and beating him, and the assassin went around and backstabbed the snowman who was attracted by Wang Yue.

The ordinary snowmen who lost their leader fell one after another, and the task progress bar increased to 90% at a very fast speed.

Because of the reasonable division of labor among the players, Wang Yue never had the chance to let the zombies appear.

He led the skeletons to deal with the snowmen around him in the final melee phase, leaving the battlefield to the players to clean up.

"It seems that I don't need to kill those elite snowmen. If I knew that the players had this tactic, I guess even if there were elite snowmen, the players would be able to find a way to deal with them."

However, Xiao Nuo calculated that the winning rate was 0% at that time. It is impossible that the game system did not take into account the advantages brought by tactics. The forced offline must be a solution accurately calculated by Xiao Nuo.

After the last [Icefield Snowman] fell, players saw that the mission progress was stuck at 90%, and there were no living monsters on the ice field.

"Is there a bug? We have already cleared all the monsters."

"It was forced offline yesterday. It seems that the quality of the game is still good, but there are still many problems."

"Where's the game administrator? Please save the mission progress bar."

Not long after the players complained, a sharp cracking sound was heard from underground.

The ice field beneath their feet suddenly cracked, and any player who fell under it died instantly.

A four-meter-tall snowman jumped out from the broken ice. It wore a crown woven from black thorns and had sharp blue ice shards on its arms.

"Wow, this is the BOSS!"

"World Boss, let's defeat him together."

The players' passion was ignited by the huge snowman BOSS. They threw the so-called plan out of their minds and just wanted to take up arms and defeat this big guy.
