Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 165 Hunting the Lion
The weather in the northern grasslands is fine today, but there are far fewer adventurers usually hunting outside.

"Even if some people pass over the northern ice sheet, there are too few people today."

After leaving Liberty Town, she realized something was wrong, but Wang Yue had no time to return.

The Finke werewolf team had already run ahead of him, and they were looking for the king of the prairie, the prairie lion.

"I happened to see it last time. The monster level is 20, the standard elite template data. The difficulty lies in other monsters following the lion."

Every time a male lion appears, it will bring ten [young prairie lions]. Although the juvenile lions are not elite monsters, their level is also 19.

If it's just a team of adventurers challenging the lion, rushing up can only lead to death.

"There is no one on the grassland today, so it's time for me to summon the undead to fight."

Wang Yue immediately revised the battle plan. She originally planned to let the werewolf team lure away the mobs, but now she can let her cannon fodder skeletons do it.

While the werewolf team was searching for lions, Wang Yue specifically picked up wandering prairie wolves to kill, collected bone fragments and summoned [Skeleton Wolf] to prepare for the battle.

"I have enough potions, and the werewolf weapons have been replaced with new ones. Armor is not a problem. I can't find a reason to lose."

Wang Yue wandered leisurely on the grassland, the drowsiness after waking up quickly disappeared with the wind.

"Unknowingly spent a lot of mana, let me drink saliva and rest for a while."

He couldn't count how many prairie wolves he had killed, and the number of skeleton wolves following him had reached 30.

"Sir, we found it!"

Finke grabbed the ground and ran fast. Although Wang Yue bought a horse for her, the silver werewolf was still used to this faster way of moving.

The target has been locked, and the werewolf team quickly assembled.

Wang Yue rode the skeleton wolf and moved towards the distance. The skeleton under her kept making noises due to its weight.

"Be quiet, don't startle the snake."

Hearing the sound, Wang Yue slapped the skull wolf on the head.

The aggrieved skeleton doesn't have a voice to complain, it can only slow down to make the voice smaller.

"It's too slow, you see the werewolf is overtaking again."

The spiritual skeleton wolf didn't speed up, it tilted its head and looked at Wang Yue, its empty eyes filled with doubts.

"Forget it, that's it."

Unable to find a suitable explanation, Wang Yue is no longer demanding on the summons.

"Strange, why am I so irritable today, is it because I didn't sleep well?"

The inexplicable irritability may indicate that something is about to happen. Recalling the abnormality when she left Liberty Town, Wang Yue felt that she had to be more careful after returning.

Exactly the same as what I saw last time, 【Prairie Lion】leads the tribe wandering.

The beasts on the grassland dare not approach, and the prey that is targeted by the lions will be killed in seconds during the siege. When the hunter leaves, there will be no flesh left on the body.

"If it's a comparison of quantity, our side obviously has the advantage."

Wang Yue and the werewolf team hid behind a tree, waiting for the lions to stop.

Thirty skeleton wolves are ready to go, as long as Wang Yue gives an order, they can rush out to provoke the lions.

"Wait for my little brothers to lead the lions away, but you have to keep an eye on that male lion first, and don't let it run away too."

The werewolves nodded, and Wang Yue kept her eyes on Fink.

"If an accident happens, don't think about anything, just run with the team, and it won't be a problem for me to help next time."

The life and death of several werewolves is what Wang Yue is most concerned about, after all, NPCs will not be resurrected.

His blood boosting skill [Dark Healing] does not take effect immediately. If he receives a lot of damage in a short period of time, there is no way to increase his blood volume with one skill.

"Yes sir, we all listen to you."

After confirming the tactics for the last time, Wang Yue issued orders to the skeletons.

"Attack, then move towards Liberty Town."

The skeleton wolves rushing out of the grass moved in unison, and the few blades of grass left on the battlefield were all trampled down by them.

When the distance between the two sides came to 30 meters, the lions with red names moved into action and bumped into Wang Yue's skeleton cannon fodder head-on.

"It's now, all about running."

Ten skeleton wolves were lost in the first collision, and the remaining 10 hadn't rushed to the front line, and they turned immediately after being ordered.

"Look at the one with the brightest hair, let's go together."

Wang Yue picked up a stone and accurately hit the level 20 elite monster.

【Damage caused: 1】

The prairie lion noticed the guy who threw stones at it, and it ran against the lion group quickly, approaching at twice the speed of a normal monster.

The werewolves tried to intercept, but the lions dodged their weapons and claws, unable to attract the target's hatred without causing any damage.

"Careless, why am I fighting monsters?"

The lion has shown its sharp claws, and its strong muscles have bulged. With this claw, Wang Yue felt that she would only have half of her life left.

Reflexively held the rapier across in front of Wang Yue, he had already squatted down, and the dirt was his last buffer.

"Block me."

[Damage received: 152 (block)]

After barely blocking it, the lion stepped on Wang Yue's body and jumped behind him.

But Wang Yue felt that she had sunk a lot, and when she looked down, her feet had already stepped out of the big hole.

"It hurts so much, I feel like I've been punched all over my body."

Taking advantage of the few seconds when the lion fell stiffly, the werewolves stepped forward and stretched out their claws, leaving bloodstains on the monster's body.

The lion's 2000 health points were only reduced by 200 points, and the enraged monsters began to fight back, swooping and clawing, and the werewolf was severely injured just by meeting him.

"Necromantic call. Skeleton troll, slow it down."

The moving speed of the target is too fast, so not only the attack will be dodged, but also Wang Yue's party who is attacked is not easy to defend.

As soon as the skeleton troll came out, the temperature dropped by two degrees.

[Frozen Slowness] Let the frost climb up the lion's limbs, slowing down its movements.

Wang Yue raised the bone spur and ran quickly in front of the lion, aiming at the open lion's mouth with a sword.

"Bleeding heart sting."

The monster lowered its head, and Wang Yue's sword penetrated into its head.

[Damage caused: 520 (weakness)]

Before the rapier was drawn, another empty hand had already drawn the rune.

"Rotten and corrupt."

The black worm representing the plague erupted from the mouth, and the spilled blood and dark energy flowed from the lion's mouth to the ground.

[Damage caused: 80 (resistance)]

[Fen can cause damage: 160]

The silver werewolf launched a backstab, and her team members also used the warrior's powerful skill [charged blow].

All the sharp claws aimed at the [Backstab] broken animal skin, and the toughest defense could no longer resist the attack of the werewolf.

"Roar!"

The smell of blood stimulated the lion, it has already felt the passing of life, and is ready to fight for the last time.

[Warning: The Lion Roars]

The one closest to the beast's throat was Wang Yue, but he couldn't pull out the bone spur for the time being.

Reluctant to part with the weapon she had only strengthened, Wang Yue could only cover half of her ear, preparing for injury.

In the first second, the lion opened its mouth wide.

In the second second, blood gushed out from his throat, drenching Wang Yue all over.

In the third second, there was only a whimper of unwillingness.

【Mission Complete: Eliminate the Prairie Lion】

[Mission Reward: Finco Squad Promoted to Silver Rank Adventure Team]

[Task Reward: Owner of the Lion Pride]

"Eh? There are additional rewards, but you didn't tell me when you accepted the mission."

A strand of mane floated into Wang Yue's hand. At this time, he had pulled out the bone spur, stepped on the lion's head, and his body was covered with hot blood.

Lifting the mane of victory over the top of the head, and gnawing bones outside, the lions were all sensed and gathered towards the new king of the lion group.
