Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 3 Hidden Missions
[Warning: trigger emergency battle]

There was a sound of closing the door behind him, and there was a continuously descending staircase in front of him, which was still some distance away from the basement of the target point.

Fat Cat put the candle on her chest. The range that the candle could illuminate was very limited, so she could only go downstairs cautiously.

"What do you mean by emergency combat? Are you not allowed to run away?"

"Yes, emergency combat is to force you to fight, kill all monsters, or be killed by monsters before you can leave."

Wang Yue knew that this battle was special, and there was only one leader-level monster guarding the basement.

In order to surprise players who like to challenge, he hid a monster that needs to be challenged by a team of five at the foot of Novice Village in advance, paving the way for future dungeons in the game.

Originally, it was necessary to complete the series of tasks of "Guide to Rest" to open it, but the pre-tasks were skipped by relying on the prayers revealed by Wang Yue.

Even if you go through the normal process, the way of receiving tasks is very special.

If a player who has completed all Novice Village tasks is still wandering around the church, he has a chance to encounter nuns who come to pray.

By accepting and completing her errands, the player will receive a note with prayers written on them.

After reading the notes completely, the nun will release the last task. She will tell the player that the evil thing is hidden under the church. After the challenge is successful, the hidden reward will be obtained.

"So you think this lady is strong enough to fight five against one, you have a good eye, Wang Yue."

After listening to Wang Yue's mission introduction, Fat Cat understood that he was about to challenge a powerful enemy.

Compared with a rabbit that was stabbed to death with a few knives, unknown enemies seem to be more interesting.

"Don't forget what I said, only players who have completed the novice mission can receive the mission. Simply put, this is an enemy that only five level 6 players can defeat."

Fat Cat's footsteps stopped suddenly, Wang Yue looked back and found that she was counting with a wrench.

"Are you calculating how many levels are missing? You are now level 2, and the monster level in the game is 3 levels higher than it is very dangerous. If you match it..."

"Do not."

Fat Cat interrupted Wang Yue, and her fingers stopped at five.

"It was you who asked Miss Ben to come to this kind of place, and lied to me that it was good. If I die, I will ignore you for five consecutive days."

At this moment, she had unknowingly walked to the last step of the steps, and by the light of the candle, she could clearly see the figure in the center of the basement.

【The Lost Priest John: Countless believers accepted his guidance, but no one guided the lost priest】

【Level: 6】

The number of the level has turned into a terrible red, and the blood bar is longer than that of ordinary monsters.

What's more special is that the target prompt box is gold-rimmed, which is a special prompt for elite monsters.

The attributes of this type of monster are three times that of ordinary monsters, and they have special skills.

"Drop the candle and sneak back."

The figure in the dark turned his back to Fat Cat, so he couldn't see his face.

In just a split second, the black shadow suddenly turned around and rushed towards the stairs, leaving an afterimage in the air with a pair of glowing red eyes.

[Warning: Malicious swooping]

Relying on Wang Yue's reminder, Fat Cat used the skill before the voice warning came out.

"sneak."

Blue smoke appeared around her, and the girl retreated in time to avoid the flying pounce.

But the dropped candle was not so lucky. The candle was crushed on the spot, and the basement was completely plunged into darkness.

"You might as well just let me die, I can't see anything now."

The fat cat can only see the priest's health bar on the game interface, but the specific movement and position of the target cannot be seen clearly.

"It's all in my plan, stick to the wall and go right."

The fat cat in the dark moved its right foot, and when it was about to move, she heard a murmur in the dark.

"Forgive me...forgive me."

The Priest is groaning as he's lost his target and will return to his starting position to wait for the player to reveal himself.

"Your stealth time is only 30 seconds, quicken your pace."

Wang Yue knew that her friend might be a little scared, but now that the skills had been activated, if she wasted any more time, she would have to wait for death.

"You're so long-winded, right? I know what to do."

The fat cat was indeed frightened by the priest's swoop. She vaguely saw the white bones on the target's body, as well as a few pieces of rotten flesh that had penetrated into the white worms.

"It's really bad fun, be careful when players report that your game contains horror elements."

"It's okay, ordinary players will not enter this room."

The fat cat walked down the stairs, felt the wall and came to the wide basement.

The room is closed, and the fat cat walking to the right will soon hit the right wall.

"Keep going and go left after hitting the same wall."

"There are still 20 seconds, is there time?"

"Let's go first, I have other plans."

They have already reached the basement, Fat Cat can only follow Wang Yue's words and move on.

There were dilapidated wooden boxes in the basement, and the old wooden boxes fell to the ground as soon as they were touched. The sound of falling apart caught the priest's attention.

"Stop, wait for it to turn its head."

"You can't blame me if you encounter it, it's too dark here for me to see."

The fat cat that stopped in place watched the remaining time of the stealth, and there were only 10 seconds left.

"It's too late, take a gamble now, hurry up!"

When the time came to 9 seconds, the fat cat started to run.

She pulled out the dagger to boost her confidence, quickened her pace, and quickly exhausted her physical strength.

"Forgive...forgive...forgive me"

Noticing the movement in the room, the already alert priest spotted the stealthy fat cat.

The stealth skill at the initial level will only take effect when moving slowly, and there is a high probability of being spotted by ordinary monsters after running, let alone elite monsters.

"It should have spotted you, jump forward."

The priest only hesitated for three seconds, it picked up the broken wooden box on the ground and threw it towards the fat cat.

The monster squatted down and swooped again like a black panther.

[Warning: Malicious swooping]

The box was dodged by the fat cat, but the sprint consumed too much energy, and she couldn't dodge the swoop.

"Damn, such a disgusting guy can find me."

"No way, after all, you have a gap of 4 levels."

The swoop hit the fat cat, and the priest knocked the fat cat back with his bare hands.

[Damage received: 17]

Seeing that her blood volume was only 3 points in an instant, she subconsciously handed out a knife.

【Damage caused: 1】

The contrast between before and after the injury was too strong, making Fat Cat dumbfounded.

"It's not that you let me come to this ghost place. Its blood bar is so long that I can't beat it even if it is hung up."

After the attack, the priest lay on the ground and howled, his whole body covered in blood.

There is an additional "blood tooth" icon under its blood bar, which is the gain state.

"When the challenger has a player whose health is below 30%, Father John will enter the bloodthirsty mode, and his movements will become slow, but he will be immune to a lot of damage."

"Great, but I'm down to 3 health now, you don't think we're playing Dark Souls?"

Fat Cat glanced at his stamina bar, it only recovered to 20% in such a short time.

Considering you can only do 1 damage, your odds of winning should be as high as winning the lottery.

"Wang Yue, don't forget that this is the first day Miss Ben is playing your game. If you can't kill him without injury, it doesn't mean I'm no good. It's just..."

Just when Fat Cat was about to give up, the monster attacked again.

[Warning: Bloody Swipe]

"Jump to the left, then fall forward, grabbing the book on the ground."

When people are nervous, they will obey any orders. At this time, Fat Cat didn't even think about it, and moved according to Wang Yue's command.

Jumping and throwing herself down, she caught a book in her hand.

"A rare item? If you die like this, I can barely forgive you."

Fat Cat glanced in the direction of the book. Although he couldn't see the book, a description box of the item popped up on the interface.

【John's Confession: The Lost Priest Wrote His Confession】

"White quality props have no effect yet!"

Judging from Fat Cat's game experience, this book is just a battle egg. It may sell for some money, but it is definitely not a treasure.

The priest's attack missed, even if the movement became slow, it only left the fat cat with time to check the props.

"My lady's first blood is confessed in this ghost place. Heh, she is also the first player to be killed in the game."

Fat Cat raised the dagger symbolically, she just wanted to die decently now.

But Wang Yue showed a smile instead, the plan has reached the last step, success or failure depends on it.

"Take out your dagger and stab the book."

"Poke props?"

Destroying props with weapons is something that Fat Cat has never thought about. She happens to be holding a dagger in her hand all the time, and stabbing it is just a matter of chance.

The blood is approaching, and the priest's attack is coming.

"Trust you once."

The knife stabbed into the book, and white light burst out of the hole at that moment, illuminating the entire basement.

[Woodland Sister's Prayer: A Holy Prayer Gives You the Power of Light]

[Effect: You feel warm]

[Duration: 2 minutes]

"What the hell effect?"

Fat Cat noticed the buff effect of an angel icon in the upper right corner of the interface, and his health bar was instantly filled.

She looked back and saw the half-human, half-skeleton priest, whose red light was being washed by white light.

"You have been strengthened, hurry up."

Wang Yue hastily reminded Fat Cat to hurry up, because of the existence of the Holy Light, the monster on the opposite side was frozen.

The situation was reversed, Fat Cat turned around and raised the dagger, stabbing fiercely at the priest's chest.

[Inflict damage: 4 (restraint)]

Her weapon glowed with white light, and her attacks carried light energy.

The priest is still being weakened, bones and flesh are dissolving.

The long blood bar is shortening rapidly, the golden border of the elite monster has also turned into the copper color of an ordinary monster, and the bloodthirsty buff has been completely removed.

"He's just an ordinary monster now, plus you have unlimited blood, stab him to death slowly."

"Of course, Miss Ben is only showing her true strength now."

The underground is bright, plus she has obtained a buff like a cheat, the fat cat is no longer afraid of ugly monsters, but the more it stabs, the more vigorous it is.

"This monster is 4 levels higher than me, and it's still a small boss. Wang Yue, remember to call me next time there is such a good thing."

"Eh? Who has been questioning me before, and said to ignore me for five days."

"Miss Ben was joking. How could I question you? We are best friends."

Fat Cat chatted happily with Wang Yue while slowly scraping off the monster's blood with a dagger.

It wasn't until the monster died that the buff on her body just disappeared.

"If I hadn't told you the secret of hiding the book, you probably owed this monster 10 lives."

"Okay, you have one-third of the credit."

After the challenge was successful, the light in the book suddenly disappeared, and the basement returned to darkness.

[Level increase: 3]

[Task Reward: Elementary Prayer]

Fat Cat was about to check the instructions of the prayer technique when a bright light appeared in the originally dark passage, and a girl condensed by the light walked towards her.

"Don't look, remember to pick up the loot."

Fat Cat gave Wang Yue a blank look.

The loot is around and can be picked up at any time, but if you miss the plot, you may never see it, let alone this hidden plot.

The white light girl knelt down in front of the priest's corpse, praying silently.

[Sister Raisa: Woodland Church nun who died in prayer]

【Level: 1】

After the girl prayed, the white light condensed into her body and dissipated.

Most of the light spots are attached to the priest's body, and the free light spots illuminate the dark basement.

"Don't forget the loot."

"You are really long-winded, I will never forget."

The priest's body has been dissolved by the light spots, leaving only the cross and the white cloak.

[John's cross: the cross of atonement records sin, but also records faith]

[Effect: Resurrect the target in the state of the living dead, lasting for 1 minute]

"Oh, I remember this piece of equipment. It can be used once a day, and it has miraculous effects when fighting in a team."

After listening to Wang Yue's introduction, Fat Cat hung the cross on his chest, and then checked the white cloak.

[Prayer's Cloak: Your current identity is a member of the Woodland Church]

[Effect: Intelligence +3 Defense +2]

The white cloak is of green quality and requires equipment level 3.

This is equipment that can also be dropped by ordinary monsters, but the real drop rate is 2%.

"Not bad, I'm back with a full load."

"It's a pity that your profession is an assassin. If you are a priest, the early experience will directly take off."

The fat cat smiled, and she put the cloak on her body, and turned around to make the cloak fly.

The wooden door of the reliquary was opened for Fat Cat at the moment of the battle, and the light guided her back from the underground to the church.

It was dusk at this time, the sunset light was orange, and the colored lights in the church turned into warm colors.

"I also got a skill called Elementary Prayer. How do you say I, an assassin, use this skill?"

"This skill, I call it a small healing technique. It is less effective than the priest's healing technique, but the advantage is that it consumes less."

Fat Cat clicked on the skill and used it on himself.

Her hand put down the dagger involuntarily, and then clasped her hands together in prayer.

Dots of white light appeared out of thin air above Fat Cat's head, and then fell like snowflakes.

"Look, the sense of ritual of using skills is very strong."

[Health point recovery: 10]

You need to keep praying for 3 seconds during the casting period, and it is only suitable for use in non-dangerous situations.

"A tasteless skill... No, my intuition tells me that there must be suitable occasions to use it in the future."

"By the way, fat cat."

"You said."

"I have some business going abroad recently, can you help me tell my parents the news, they never go online."

"You didn't bring your mobile phone with you when you went abroad? Could it be that you committed a crime and ran out of the country to hide from the limelight?"

"My situation is more complicated..."

Hearing Wang Yue's faltering tone, she didn't pursue and continue to question him.

The internal experience of this game is almost over, Fat Cat received the news of the assembly.

The testers all returned to the door of the church, and Fat Cat walked over to discuss the results of this experience.

"How is the result?"

"The physics engine is working fine, and the collision part uses the latest algorithm."

"The image rendering is perfect, truly worthy of my friend's work."

"No loopholes have been found in the monster logic for the time being. The creator is an old acquaintance. There is nothing wrong with this problem."

"Except for some details, I'm not very satisfied, it's generally okay."

"I am very satisfied with this game, I think it is perfect."

"No doubts."

Six testers have reached a consensus and the initial test has passed.

"The next thing is the event and task test, let's conduct the second internal test the day after tomorrow."

Dolly said to a man beside him, he nodded, and immediately called up the mail system to reply to Wang Yue with the test result.

Peeking at such a result, Wang Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"See? Xiao Nuo, this is our first step."

"One small step for us, one giant leap for the game."

With the success of the first internal test, as long as there are no major problems in the second internal test, the game will enter the external closed internal test.

At that time, more players will join, and the experience map will be larger and more content.
