Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 58 Activating the Altar

The basic attributes of skeleton soldiers are still the same as ordinary skeletons, but it has the skill [Charge], which can quickly approach the target by using the skill.

Compared with the monster in [The Butler's Trial], even though it has the same name, it can only be seen as a shrunken version of [Skeleton Soldier], which is exactly in line with the principle of washing white and weak three points.

But it is still very easy to deal with level 5 monsters. The characteristics of high attack and low HP are very similar to the thorn monsters in the berserk state.

The player only saw a huge red afterimage passing by, and the skeleton soldier ran to a distance by [Charge], and collided with a [Rage Lasher].

【Skeleton soldiers cause damage: 20】

[Skeleton soldiers take damage: 10]

After taking 4 damage, the skeleton soldier disappeared into the monster pile.

The group of berserk monsters also disappeared together. This was Wang Yue's order to send the skeleton to death, and it happened to be stuck at the very second when the task was completed.

"Thanks to your help, the jungle has been saved."

Wang Yue walked back to the altar calmly, he had already recovered some mana by [extracting dark energy], so he didn't have to endure the discomfort of overdrawing mana.

All the players present received [Professional Skill Book Ⅰ]. Through this book, they can learn the second skill at level 5.

This is the secret of Lao Zhou's ability to obtain the [Charge] skill in advance. As long as he completes the hidden mission, he can be one step faster.

"All adventurers, on behalf of the nobles of Freedom Town, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

In the NPC five-member group, another blond curly-haired man took out a handful of coins from his bag, and he scattered these copper coins into the air. When the gold coins fell on the players, everyone got 20 extra copper coins.

The man's name is [Rogge], and he hid in the center of the defense circle during the siege. The man has been secretly observing Wang Yue, and seems to be very wary of him.

"I know this is excessive, but could you guys do us a little favor."

After Rogge finished distributing the money, Paulie, who players are familiar with, rubbed his hands with a flattering expression.

He already knew that the players were very powerful, so he wanted them to continue to serve as bodyguards.

[Mission Objective: Help Pauli complete the magic circle]

[Task reward: Open the sub-profession of inscriber (optional)]

[Mission reward: a sharp weapon]

The task reward is a white weapon, and different types of weapons will be obtained according to different occupations.

What's even better is that there is an optional side job, even if you don't like it, you don't have to claim the reward.

None of the other players present had sub-professions, and this was the first life specialty they saw in the game, so many people were ready to choose it with the attitude of giving it a try.

"What is a sub-profession?"

In the [Secret Words] chat channel, Wang Yue gave Fat Cat extra lessons alone.

It soon made her understand that sub-jobs can create items or improve combat power, and the items produced can be sold for money even if they are not practical.

"Come friends, I just need a little bit of thorn bush for paint."

After all players accepted it, a [Current Progress 0%] prompt appeared at the top of the game interface.

After the players hand over the fruit to Paulie, he can start to draw the magic circle. As long as he keeps the paint in his hand, the task can be completed quickly.

"It means that we all work together to collect materials. Don't grab the cooperation missions. Let's each find a place to collect them by ourselves."

Because they share a common mission goal, the players were assigned to the jungle around the altar under Maple Leaf's command.

The current picking happened to be a break time, everyone was chatting and collecting [Blood Red Thorn Fruit], and the players in the same team also added friends, preparing to continue forming a team in the next day's game.

"Why does the magic circle he drew look familiar?"

Wang Yue continued to pretend to be an NPC, and he stayed by the altar to watch Pauli make the magic circle.

He has seen many magic circles in the castle, the smallest is the magic circle given to him by Sith, and the largest is the magic circle on the [Transportation Node] platform in the north of [Shelter].

"And the color of these fruits is the same as that of the monster just now. Why did he draw a magic circle on the ground?"

Only from the perspective of an NPC can you find that Paulie's mission is very weird. He deliberately concealed his purpose and confuses the player's eyes with high-quality mission rewards.

"He speaks so well, he must be a villain."

When the magic circle was 50% complete, Wang Yue's sense of déjà vu became more and more serious.

He has already held his hand on the hilt of the sword, and if something goes wrong, he will take action immediately.

Although Baoli is an NPC with a green name, Wang Yue can test his combat effectiveness as a test account. He only needs to be classified into hostile targets through the system, and Wang Yue can take the initiative to attack him.

"Forget it, what if the player doesn't have a follow-up mission after killing him."

Thinking of the lovely players, Wang Yue still relaxed.

Even if it is a villain, there are many "bad" NPCs in this world. As long as Wang Yue is not persecuted and the player's game experience is not destroyed, he can let Pauly complete his plot with his eyes closed.

"I hope the demon he summons is not too strong."

Wang Yue had already remembered that Pauli's magic circle was exactly the magic circle he had seen for summoning demons.

The teleportation point in the castle produced [Demon Minotaur], one of the Thirty Pillars of Hell. If [Captain Peter] hadn’t sacrificed half of his body, the castle would have been occupied by demons.

With the efforts of the players and Paulie, the magic circle was finally completed.

When they were still immersed in the joy of harvesting equipment, Paulie had already started his chant, and the ritual of summoning the demon was started.

"Okay, let me see how your summons are."

Wang Yue doesn't believe that a little guy at level 5 can summon a big guy. At most, there will be a leader-level elite monster to make everyone nervous.

【The iron chain connecting hell and nothingness wakes up from the thorns】

【You and I can see the fall of the Hanging Garden】

【It's revenge, it's emptiness, it's infinite hatred】

After Paulie finished chanting the spell, the whole jungle began to twist, and the constant sound was like a weeping woman.

The altar glowed with a dark orange light, the ground began to shake, and something passed under Wang Yue's feet.

"Warning, please step back immediately."

Xiao Nuo, who hadn't responded for a long time, suddenly went online, and Wang Yue already felt that something was wrong, and with the warning from the game system, he immediately retreated.

Thorns broke through the thick stone bricks of the altar, piercing the cursed poly.

Rogge turned and fled immediately after his companion died, and the other three also ran away without looking back.

"Xiao Nuo, what's the matter?"

Wang Yue immediately sent a message to inform Fat Cat to evacuate together, they ran at the front of the team, their cloaks fluttered due to running too fast.

"The system has detected the established destiny—the brave, and has started the real trial mission."

"what?"

Wang Yue didn't expect the problem to be her own.

But fortunately, the players are not stupid. Seeing the NPC running and the map shaking, they also ran out of the jungle.
