Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 85 Second Escape
"Which skeleton is so blind as to throw a stone at my head? Believe it or not, I will kill you with my own hands."

Wang Yue was lying on the ground and almost fell asleep when he was suddenly hit in the face by a stone. He let out a click of the tongue and opened his eyes to see which of his men had lost control.

The copper ore in the room had been cleared away by the cannon fodder skeletons, and a familiar magic circle appeared on the ground. The hexagram pattern was exactly the same as the one he saw on the jungle altar.

[Mission Completed: Investigate the Truth of the Snowman Attack]

[Has obtained the command of the cat man]

"It's not a good place to stay for long. I won't have to stay here any longer after the mission is completed."

Wang Yue's intuition told him that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden in this magic circle, but it had nothing to do with him for the time being.

"Let me guess. The Snowman King wears black thorns on his head, and there are also such plants at the entrance of the cave. It must be the work of the pagans. In the end, the magic circle went out of control and blew up the cave, so they were buried under the stone."

After figuring out the whole story, Wang Yue could go back and report to the cat people.

He accidentally looked down and saw that what was thrown at him was not a stone, but a bone.

"bone?"

The room was empty. The [Basic Skeletons] summoned by Wang Yue had disappeared, and not even the bones left after death were left.

"Rog, are you there? Are you slacking off somewhere else?"

Even the priest NPC who had been guarding Wang Yue disappeared. Wang Yue carefully looked around but did not find any enemy.

"I'm not stupid. They must have been killed by a surprise attack from a monster."

He immediately drew his rapier and prepared to attack.

"clatter."

Another piece of bone fell and hit the ground next to Wang Yue.

Only then did Wang Yue come to his senses. He looked up suddenly and found that all the skeletons he summoned were tied to the ceiling with thorns.

"Rogge, I'll come to rescue you right away."

Rogue was also tied up on his head. He cast a shield on himself and struggled to hold on, but his health was only half left.

The height of the room is 3 meters, which is too difficult for Wang Yue.

Although he has no means of long-range attack, he can summon skeletons to lift himself up.

"I hope the thorns aren't too tough. I can't guarantee my little rapier will cut through them."

Riding on the skull, Wang Yue held the hilt of the sword with one hand and used the strength of his arm to make the blade move across the ceiling.

[Damage caused: 1]

"How come I can't see the health bar even though I've dealt damage?"

Wang Yue was very puzzled, he didn't know what this thorn was.

If it is a collectible resource, then you should be able to see the collection button on the game interface after getting close to it, but the thorn strips are not monsters, and they don't even have an explanation or health bar.

"I see. It must be a bug. Is Xiao Nuo here? Check the bug and work overtime to fix it."

"Information, the thorns are the product of the boss's summoning skill. They will disappear after multiple consecutive attacks."

"Boss?"

While Wang Yue was communicating with the game system, her hands did not stop moving. After causing 15 attacks, the thorns growing on the ceiling finally loosened and retracted into the cracks in the stone.

"Rogge, I don't have time to explain to you anymore, just follow me."

After rescuing Rogge, Wang Yue also jumped down from the skull that was carrying him, and pulled and pushed Rogge out of the cave.

Soon after they left, more thorns sprouted from the cracks in the stone, indiscriminately piercing every corner of the room.

These thorns were sharp and tough, completely sealing the room and directly piercing the skeleton left by Wang Yue in the room.

[Basic Skeleton Damage: 999]

"Rest in peace. I knew the boss would follow."

Wang Yue had anticipated the danger, but just running out of the room was not enough. He needed to lead the players to escape from the [Snowman Cave], otherwise they would have to face a powerful BOSS when they went online the next day.

Shortly after he ran out of the room, Wang Yue successfully loaded onto the players who were caught in the melee.

He immediately changed from running to strolling, took out a few pieces of [First-level Bone Fragments] from the package, and summoned [Skeleton Soldiers] in the center of the battlefield.

"Danger is coming!"

Wang Yue hit the floor with her rapier, making a loud noise and focusing the players' attention on herself.

The skeleton soldier pushed away the players in the fight, came to Wang Yue, and put him on his shoulders.

At this moment, a ball of fire gushed out from the depths of the cave, and the flames sprayed along the passage all the way to the cave entrance.

The players could only hurriedly stick to the walls of the cave and watch the flames pass by.

Any monsters that are swept by the flames will be eliminated, and players who remain in the path of the flames will also be killed, and their bodies will be pushed to the entrance of the cave by the heat wave.

Wang Yue was lucky; his skeleton protected him from the disaster and he himself was not burned by the flames as he stuck to the ceiling.

After the flames disappeared, the familiar [Demon Dog] jumped out from the room he had just come out of.

The monster's level has been raised to level 12, which is obviously not a target that the current level 8 players can challenge.

"The duel is suspended. Everyone escape to the cave entrance first."

"There's still a chance tomorrow, don't fight too long."

The two groups of players tacitly stopped attacking and fled towards the cave entrance together.

Thanks to the fire, the elite snowmen that refreshed along the way have all turned into corpses, and they only need to worry about the [Demon Dog] behind them.

"That woman is obviously dead, so why is there a demon dog?"

With Black Thorn and the demon dog, Wang Yue believed that the woman at the jungle altar had found him. He didn't know what he had done wrong to have provoked such an unkillable enemy.

However, the demon dog no longer poses a threat, so Wang Yue can run while summoning cannon fodder to slow down the monster's pursuit.

The players quickly rushed out of the cave and chatted and discussed in the snow outside.

Many people saw the [Demon Dog] for the first time. They saw the high level of the monster through the game system, and then found that everyone was running, so they ran out.

"Plot kill, what we just encountered is the main plot of Trial Island."

“There’s a huge conspiracy hidden on this small island, so the villain of the game is a demon?”

"It must be a demon. Have you ever seen a game where the demon isn't a villain?"

After Wang Yue rushed out of the cave, the last group of players followed him outside.

Just like the time in the jungle, when arriving at the new area, the [Demon Dog] stopped and could only wander around the border of the map.

[1 minute left for the third day of internal testing]

【Please arrange your offline time reasonably】

Now the players are divided into three groups. One group is the passers-by players who have not started PK. They are trembling in fear when they see the other two groups of red-named players.

Players on both the Maple Leaf and Dolly sides suffered losses, but the final outcome was not clear.

The offline time is only 1 minute, so there is no point in continuing to fight.

"You have achieved your goal. I believe the female anchor's audience has seen your strength."

Dolly said to her teammates. After looking at Maple Leaf, she took the initiative to lead her group of players away.

The players who had left were still sending provocative messages, and within a minute, the nearby channels were filled with vulgar language.

Just like that, the battle between the two groups of players ended in verbal abuse, and the third day of testing also ended at the same time.
