Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 82: Cave Exploration
The Icefield Hills were originally inhabited by snowmen. After the Snowman King took away all the snowmen, a rock rolled down from a small hill on the hill.

People wearing black cloaks walked out from the mountain behind the rocks, and the three of them lifted their cloaks one by one, revealing their true faces.

"You are such a waste. Nothing good will happen to you when I meet you."

There were many scars on the woman's face, and it seemed that things did not go well inside.

Another companion called Hat had a bruised face and the green hat on his head was about to fall off.

"Ent, I feel like you haven't been using your full strength. Are you on guard against me?"

The strong man was hunched over. He was so tired that he wanted to lie down. He couldn't even speak and could only express his denial with his hands.

"Miss, do we only have two more trials before this ends?"

"Finish?"

When the woman heard "The Hat" say this, she frowned, walked to the hat, slapped him in the face, and completely broke the hat on his head.

"What's that look in your eyes? Hurry up and get in front and lead the way."

Hat covered his hurt face with his hand, turned sideways and looked at the woman out of the corner of his eye, spat a mouthful of blood onto the snow, and returned to the wind and snow in silence.

After the three left, heat waves gushed out from the hill behind them, melting the snow at the entrance of the cave.

Then, a few thorns crawled out from the land that had lost its frost, growing quickly and taking root in the frozen soil.

After the players had mounts, they could travel faster. They followed Wang Yue westward and came to the foot of a small hill on the ice field.

"Let's form a team. We're only missing a healer. Let's start the fight right away."

"A handsome warrior, preferably one with a shield, a good tank that can take a beating and block."

"Give me three ranged players and a healer. I will lead the charge."

After the BOSS battle, players realized the rationale of forming a team. A team must have a member who can add blood, and it is best to have a front row that specializes in resisting damage.

The mission received from Wang Yue was of elite difficulty, so the players were more careful and more picky about the people they formed a team with.

"Why did you kick me? Weren't we on the same team just now?"

"Your output is too low. You're ranked 70th out of 40 players. You can't even reach the damage of a support profession."

At this time, internal competition has already appeared. Players are worried that if another BOSS appears, the low-damage players in the team will only hold them back, causing them to get less equipment.

[Haha, these people are so shameless that they even want us to kick a team member out]

[Ignore them. Your captain wouldn't do that.]

The Maple Leaf team, which is ranked first, is of course favored by everyone. Some people have already chatted privately with Paocai, hoping to pay money in exchange for his position in the team. Some people have even directly approached Maple Leaf, hoping to replace Persia in the name of live broadcast fans.

"I won't kick a player out of the team unless they voluntarily quit."

Fengye politely rejected the excessive demands of some players. Her firm behavior won the recognition of the live broadcast audience, and the audience posted positive comments one after another.

After Wang Yue and other players regrouped, they asked Rogge to get off his mount. They were going to explore on foot and keep an eye out for sudden enemies at all times.

"Rogge, follow me closely. This time we are alone, and there is no other means."

After the players divided the loot, the Yeti King's body did not disappear.

In order to create a green environment for the ice field, Wang Yue asked the zombies to carry away the BOSS's body and send it back to the castle through a teleportation array.

“I hope the leatherworker can make me some new equipment. This orange coat doesn’t suit my temperament.”

In addition to the monster spoils, every part of his body is also a treasure. The leather can be made into armor, the meat can be processed into food, and the broken bones can become Wang Yue's summoning materials.

Moreover, with such a large body of the Snowman King, the [First-level Bone Fragments] that can be produced will definitely be useful for a long time.

"I can't see what's wrong, but the Necromancer map shows that the mission area is right here."

There are no more snowmen on the hills, only wandering monsters called [Ice Boars].

The players were scattered across the hills. They searched everywhere, and with their numerical advantage, they finally found the strange cave entrance.

"Look here. There are thorns growing at the door. They are only found in the jungle. This must be the problem."

"Shh, don't tell the other players, let's sneak in first."

A team that discovered the entrance first rushed in rashly, and after passing through the entrance blocked by thorns, they saw a vast cave underground.

The cave was filled with brown-furred snowmen, and unlike the one tested the next day, the snowmen's eyes were black, and the word "violent" was added before their names.

"The warrior goes first, we will continue to attack in three seconds."

The warriors in the team rushed to the monster's feet, then fought and retreated, pulling the elite snowman into the team.

After three seconds, the output begins and the healer replenishes the warrior's lost health.

"Okay, that went very smoothly."

In addition to having higher attack power than ordinary snowmen, elite snowmen are not difficult for a five-man team.

It took them less than half a minute to reduce the monster's health to 10%, but danger loomed. The monster suddenly glowed red all over, ignoring the warriors in front and rushing straight to the players in the back row.

"Wait a minute, don't run over there."

The mage who was targeted by the monster left and interrupted the spell, fleeing frantically to the side.

It was a big mistake for him not to retreat to the entrance. He ran to the right and ended up attracting more monsters.

The attack power of the snowman in the berserk state is doubled, and the ranged enemy can be killed in two hits.

The warrior who lost his support could only escape from the cave entrance. Looking at the player who was suddenly low on health, the others quickly noticed the snowman’s cave.

Players rushed in and started fighting for monsters at the entrance of the cave.

Wang Yue was neither hurried nor slow and became the last person to enter the cave. His job was to explore rather than kill monsters. Under the condition of a 90% experience penalty, he generously gave the monsters to the players.

"I guess the mastermind is hiding deep in the cave. It will be safest for me to show up then."

When Wang Yue finally entered the cave, there were three rows of tombstones neatly arranged at the entrance. In the distance were several fallen elite snowmen, indicating that the battle was very fierce.

"No way? Elite snowmen can be killed with just a few slashes. How come players become weaker after getting new equipment?"

Wang Yue continued forward and saw the Maple Leaf Team concentrating on dealing with a jealous elite snowman.

Just like the first team that came in, the early stage was very smooth. Persia's health volume hardly changed, while the monster's health bar was decreasing rapidly.

But when the elite snowman had 10% of its health left, it became manic and directly attacked the maple leaf farthest away.

Fortunately, Fengye reacted in time and immediately turned around and ran back.

Fat Cat and Pickle also used their skills at this time, and the team eliminated the snowman as quickly as possible, making its doubled attack power useless.

"The gap between the teams is really huge. The other players need to work harder."

Wang Yue will stand there waiting for the players to clear the way for him. He will only draw his sword and attack if he encounters an enemy who is blind and actively attacks.

The furious snowman could only cause 28 points of damage to him, and was stabbed to death by Wang Yue before breaking through Rogue's shield.

"Hit them slowly. These monsters should have a higher chance of dropping equipment."

As the players fought, heat waves continued to blow in from deep within the cave.

As the time spent in the cave increased, the temperature of the heat wave became higher and higher, which made Wang Yue feel that something was wrong.
