Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 28 The Trial of Puzzle Solving
"You dog skeleton, you hurt me to death."

This was the first time Wang Yue felt being cut into the body by a knife. The tingling pain spread from his shoulders to all parts of his body, and even the fingers holding the weapon felt numb.

[Damage received: 20 (weakness)]

When the stun effect disappeared, 【Skeleton Soldier】had raised his weapon and was about to chop down again.

At this moment, Goudan bumped into it from behind, and the two skeletons hit the wall together.

"Dog, don't fight hard with it, scratch its back."

Wang Yue took the opportunity to escape quickly.

Casting the effect of [Dark Healing] on himself in the least amount of time, he started running towards the gate of the castle.

[Dog eggs take damage: 10]

The skeleton soldier threw the dog egg to the ground in just one round, and it still opened its teeth on the spot, roaring silently.

The enemy slightly adjusted the angle of the skull, and after finding the target, it moved towards Wangyue quickly again with the weapon in hand.

"I can only get stuck in a perspective first, and then find an opportunity to read the article and continue to procrastinate."

Wang Yue took a look at her own state, and there were still 55 health points left, so he chose to spend more time just to be on the safe side.

After running to the gate, he immediately dodged aside. This moment made the monster lose its target, but the skeleton soldier only got stuck for a second before moving again.

"Should be enough for now."

With the one second gained plus the two seconds of the distance, Wang Yue successfully summoned [Elementary Skeleton].

In order to prevent the cannon fodder from leaving immediately, he ordered the skeleton to move far away.

"Here we come, it's time for head-to-head confrontation."

Wang Yue outside the door heard the sound of stepping on the ground, and he had already clenched the 【Bone Spur of Pain】.

The moment he saw the enemy poking his head out, he thrust his sword towards the skull.

[You cause damage: 16 (restraint)]

The attack takes effect, but the hit follows.

【You take damage: 10】

The skeleton soldier slashed at Wang Yue's chest, making him feel the gastric juice in his body churning.

"Let you see the charm of melee necromancers."

Wang Yue endured the discomfort and drew out the rapier, and continued to stab the opponent's chest with one sword.

The skeleton soldier didn't even feel pain, and the long knife that had just been split horizontally changed direction instantly, and it slashed diagonally downward again.

Wang Yue didn't block, and let the knife slash her body, maybe because she was wearing the [Inferior Coat], he didn't feel so much pain.

He kept retreating, pulling the battlefield closer to the sea.

"It's now... come on, little brother..."

Goudan and the younger brother kept scraping at the back, 2 and 3 points of damage slowly floated out, while Wang Yue in the front resisted all attacks, and he was also the source of the main damage.

Although she has buffs that continuously increase her blood, Wang Yue only has 20 health points left.

But his opponent still has 51 health points left, and his physical strength has reached the limit.

"There is still a little left, but it is really difficult to fight."

Seeing victory in sight, Wang Yue was finally able to breathe with a smile.

[Warning: Savage collision]

"Forgot, its skill CD is also good."

Skeleton soldiers are about to rush in. If they are hit by skills, all efforts will be in vain.

Wang Yue listened to the sound of his own breathing, and the sound of waves beating against the rocks in the distance, and he had a bold idea.

"Not all skeletons can swim, can they?"

Wang Yue's heel slipped forward, and her whole body fell backwards.

There is a shallow water area behind him, and the sand and stones are mixed together. If the back of his head directly touches the stones, he should die on the spot.

So this is another way to gamble.

"Shh."

The skeleton soldier rushed to the place where the sea water just touched, and it stopped at the same place and swung the knife, the knife pierced the air, leaving only the sound hovering above Wang Yue's head.

[Damage received: 0 (dodge)]

"I didn't expect the dizziness to still take effect."

The dizziness took effect, and Wang Yue fell down abruptly.

The shallow water failed to support his head, and his whole body sank into the sand, leaving one head floating on the water to look up at the enemy.

The skeleton soldier stagnant in place could not take another step, and the two skeletons behind it never stopped attacking.

"Scrape slowly, don't rush."

The younger brothers continued to cause single-digit injuries, and cracks began to appear on the skeleton soldiers.

When the blood bar returned to zero, the skeleton soldier still maintained the posture of holding the knife, causing the body to collapse from the bottom to the top, and finally turned into bones again.

[First-order bone fragments: bone fragments that have absorbed a small amount of dark energy and are already very strong]

New trophies appeared, and Wang Yue also completed the first trial.

[Mission Objective: The Trial of the Steward (1/3)]

[Rapier proficiency improvement]

[Current proficiency level: 8]

"If I knew there was such an opponent, I should have brought Brother Sailor out."

Also at level 10, the boatswain in [Sanctuary] has more skills, and the attack method is smoother. This skeleton soldier obviously only has the most common monster template.

Although the enemy has been defeated, Wang Yue is now physically and mentally exhausted.

Two attendants pulled him up from the shallow water area, ready to accept the second trial of the steward.

"Fortunately, I won't get my clothes wet after getting out of the water, otherwise I will catch a cold sooner or later when I blow the sea breeze like this."

In the game world, even if Wang Yue can't swim, he doesn't have to worry about drowning.

The buoyancy of the water in the game is always enough to support the player. If the player wants to dive, he only needs to go down to the dog to move.

In addition, players who can really swim will feel like a fish in water in the water world. As long as the posture is correct, the movement speed of a good swimmer will be much faster than the default speed of the game.

After stepping into the hall, Wang Yue first noticed that there was a lot more light in the room.

"I've passed the first item, what's the second item?"

He threw a [first-order bone fragment] at the butler's feet, then sat on the ground, rested and waited for the second trial.

At this time, the lobby has changed again.

There is an upward stone staircase in the center, the ceiling of the hall is covered with [Secondary Lighting Runes], and there are more torches on the walls. These are the reasons why the interior becomes bright.

"The second trial, find the way to the second floor."

The skeleton butler took out a piece of parchment out of thin air, and threw it at Wang Yue.

It was a piece of parchment full of words. After the parchment floated to Wang Yue's hands, the housekeeper retreated to the corner again.

Before Wang Yue could clear up the situation, the voice came from above the stairs.

"Young new owner, please come to the second floor of the castle before all the words disappear."

The words on the parchment had already started to burn, and the black characters twisted and danced on the parchment.

People can't see ten lines at a glance, but the system printed all the words on the parchment on the interface.

【I have always been puzzled, why our family is afraid of the sun, but carved so many lighting runes in the castle, and even put a torch on the gate. 】

[Grandfather likes to talk about his past, it was the era of coexistence with human beings, the blood race has noble morals and extraordinary taste.But on the day of human reckoning, we are the ones who suffer misfortune, and the dirty ratmen and trolls survive]

[The recipe for Sea Snake Blood Wine is on the top floor, my grandfather puts the ingredients in the cellar, and I live on the second floor.What a stupid act, if it were me, I would put them in the middle]

"Decryption mission..."

Wang Yue sighed, he knew that with his IQ, he couldn't solve it in a short time.

"Xiao Nuo, open the forum."

But if the problem is handed over to the players, it is different. One out of a hundred players must be able to solve the problem.
