Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 92 With bad intentions
There is a type of people who don’t eat, don’t sleep, and are only dedicated to working. In real life, they are only robots, and in the game world, they are called NPCs.

But Wang Yue is not like that. He has not slept for more than 4 hours for two consecutive days. The dark circles under his eyes are more in line with his identity as a necromancer. His haggard face is no different from that of a dead spirit.

"If I don't go to sleep, I'll be a dog."

He had no memory of how he fell asleep. Perhaps he lost consciousness the moment he swung the pickaxe. When he woke up, he was lying on the wall with the pickaxe still embedded in it.

Compared with the cat people, they are indeed inferior. After working all night, the cat people have emptied the cave, leaving only iron ore that cannot be dug by wooden pickaxes.

Wang Yue filled the package that had just been emptied with copper ore again, and returned to the Ice Fortress with the help of the cat people.

"Where's Roger? Why haven't I seen him all night?"

Roger quietly left when Wang Yue was dozing off while fishing. He had vowed that he would follow Wang Yue, but in the end he ran away.

If he really left without saying goodbye, Wang Yue would also have to calculate the loss of the snowman mount, which would be the biggest loss for him.

"Ah, it turns out that men are not trustworthy. It's hard to be a good person in this world."

Wang Yue was waiting in the fortress for the players to come online, and took a short nap with her eyes closed.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, he was suddenly awakened by someone pulling his clothes.

Following the direction of the cat man's finger that woke her up, Wang Yue saw Rogue appearing again, and three familiar NPCs beside him.

Although the names are the same, the appearances of the three people have changed drastically.

"Hat" not only lost his hat, but also his ears, and even only a few hairs were left.

The strong man Ent lost an arm. He simply wrapped the wound with a rough cloth, and Roger was treating him.

The woman suffered no obvious injuries, but her hair covered half of her face. Her expression was as grim as ever, but her eyes were filled with fatigue.

"The three bullies have become much stronger. I really congratulate you."

Although several of them were missing limbs, their level had already grown to level 10. Rogge, who had been fighting steadily beside Wang Yue, was only level 9. It seemed that they were in big trouble.

"Will you come to the third trial?"

The woman no longer had the sharpness she once had. Her eyes were still fixed on Wang Yue, but she could not see anything from Wang Yue's increasingly haggard face.

"You were tortured too, right? Yes, we all suffered in order to pass the trial."

The woman chose to take advantage of Wang Yue’s empathy. She believed that this man had become what he is now because of the trial. Since both parties were there for the trial, there was a possibility of continued cooperation.

"I suggest you don't believe what you see, I just"

"I understand that this power will confuse your eyes. You must use your ambition to conquer it."

The woman interrupted Wang Yue. In fact, Wang Yue just wanted to say that she had stayed up too late and just needed to rest for a while. However, the woman seemed to be more satisfied with Wang Yue.

"Please forgive me for introducing myself now. My name is Morgana, and I will help you complete the third trial."

"Oh, do I have to tell you my name, Arthur, or the plot won't go on?"

"You're very humorous, William."

The conversation between the two made Ent very unhappy. In order to enter the third trial, he paid an arm, but in return he only got Morgana to call him "waste".

Now this man who suddenly appeared has stolen all the limelight. He has already decided to make Wang Yue pay at least the same price as him.

"The next trial will be held at the Vicious Blood Pool. You'd better bring your followers with you. Perhaps they will be more useful than the group of adventurers we met before."

Hearing this, Wang Yue raised her eyebrows.

Since the adventurers in the other map have all failed, now is the time for him to integrate the players, and going to the vicious blood pool cannot be delayed.

When the fourth day's opening time came, Wang Yue immediately cheered up after the first player logged in. He straightened his back, his eyes became firm, and he acted like a big boss again.

Morgana and the other three now followed behind him, and seeing Wang Yue's power expand again, the players once again expressed their praise.

"Aren't they NPCs from our jungle? Why are they following Boss William today?"

"This game is awesome. The NPCs' understanding of the game is almost as good as the players'. They all know where to find key characters to cling to."

Only a few players stayed offline in Ice Fortress, and more players simply quit the game in the wild.

While waiting for the main force to return, Wang Yue issued the final orders to the cat people.

"When I'm not around, the three cats 'Do Re Mi' will be your leaders. Don't patrol the fortress when you have nothing to do. You won't be able to level up this way. Go hunt ice boars when you have time. Don't be lazy!"

The cat people responded to Wang Yue with "meow meow meow", and the cat guards immediately ran out of the fortress and began an endless upgrade hunt.

The players also returned to the fortress, but not everyone came back. A group of people were taken away by Dolly and went directly to the jungle map to continue experiencing the game.

Another group of people choose to stay. They will complete the tasks issued by the cat people and gradually become familiar with the game operations.

In the end, only 20 players followed Wang Yue to the vicious blood pool, which was much fewer than Wang Yue had expected.

"I think I'm still charming enough. The problem may be that forget it. They're already in such a miserable state. I shouldn't abandon them."

Wang Yue glanced meaningfully at the people following her, especially Hat and Ent.

And judging by his intuition, he felt that the way the two looked at him was a little strange, and maybe they would do something secretly later.

"Wait until it's dark and windy, and find an opportunity to kill them without the players knowing."

When Wang Yue thought of this, the curve of her lips could no longer be hidden.

Rogge put a shield on him at the right time to remind Wang Yue to uphold integrity.

The journey was very fast. The players rode on snowmen, Wang Yue rode on a skeleton, and he was kind enough to give skeleton hounds to NPCs who had no mounts.

It took the group less than 5 minutes to walk westward from the ice and snow world to the stinking mud ditch polluted by evil.

The blood in the blood pool is green. The map and the ice field are in the same cold location, but the boiling blood pool is bubbling, making the temperature here like summer.

In addition to the blood pools everywhere, the road surface is covered with dirty black mud that is as difficult to get rid of as oil.

"If I had come here to take a look in advance, I would never have wanted to take the third trial."

This place is even darker than the castle, and the monsters inside must be the most difficult to deal with.

But it was too late to retreat, and players were eager to try out the new map.

After all, their strength has become much stronger, and greater difficulty means more interesting challenges.
