The primeval forest at night.

The rain was pouring down.

Outside the tree hole of a giant tree with its bottom hollowed out.

Four dark green revolving lanterns were hung on the branches in the four directions.

The surface of the lamp is made of human skin.

Imprisoned inside is the impetuous "will-o'-the-wisp".

Necromancers like to use the sometimes effective "will-o'-the-wisp" as a lower-level substitute for the gem of true knowledge.

Of course there is only one reason -

poverty.

Outside the will-o'-the-wisp lantern.

The protective barrier drawn with bone meal and phosphorus ash had long been washed away by the rushing waterfall.

Even though the tree house still has a "medium negative energy shield" as a backup.

The owner of the house still looked a little uneasy.

Joudry stood at the door of the tree house.

Silently gazing into the depths of the jungle on a rainy night.

It seems that any little disturbance can get on his nerves.

In his hand he tightly grasped an extremely thick and ugly staff.

Rustle!

A strange sound came from the branches.

Jodley raised his head suddenly, and the negative energy ray in his hand was about to pour out -

Fortunately, he pressed down the head of the staff in time.

Next second.

A group of demonized squirrels jumped over happily.

Jodry watched them quietly disappear in the rain.

"I was so nervous."

Jodley comforted himself in his heart:

"Since you have made a plan, you shouldn't be so worried about gains and losses."

Think of this.

He couldn't help but look back.

Deep inside the tree house.

The two flamboyant fellows were holding up his most beloved treasure and commenting on it, which made Jodry upset.

If the incident had not happened suddenly, he, who always lived in seclusion, would not have invited anyone to his home.

Not to mention showing off the great treasures you have treasured for a long time!

"This thigh bone is really nice..."

A necromancer's voice of amazement came from the room:

"She must have been a beauty when she was alive, right?"

Another added:

"It's really good. It's a pity not to use such long legs to make a "Bone Carriage Princess"."

Go to the bone carriage girl!

Jodley cursed in his heart:

These Necromancers have really weird XP!

At this moment.

The necromancer holding the thigh bone suddenly turned around with a smile and looked at him:

"Joadry, are you in trouble?"

Jodley's face tightened.

"Don't look at me like that. Even the Rainforest Ecology Research Institute can't keep a loner like you, and you suddenly invited us to be their guests today - anyone with a little bit of brains would know that something is wrong, right?"

The speaker's name was Johnson.

He is a level 33 necromancer and one of the senior managers of the Ecological Research Institute.

He put down his thigh.

He strode over to Jodley.

"Tell me, what kind of enemy is it?"

Johnson lit a cigarette for himself and handed one to Jodley:

" That's the good thing about us necromancers."

"Anyway, the speed at which tobacco leaves destroy the lungs is definitely not as fast as the speed at which negative energy erodes the brain, so it is better to enjoy life while you can."

Joudry gave a forced smile and refused.

"I don't know the details."

He said in a deep voice:

"All I know is that he has a level 34 elite gargoyle as a servant."

"That's really not easy..."

Johnson smoked a cigarette and suddenly smiled strangely, revealing his yellow teeth:

"What kind of secrets are you hiding? Why are you so unwilling to accept the protection of the institute when facing such a dangerous enemy?"

"If you ask me, you are not an undercover agent of another force, right?"

Jodley's face turned pale.

Who says all necromancers are dumb?

He explained in a panic:

"How is that possible? I'm just not used to it..."

At this moment.

There were heavy footsteps coming from the front.

The three of them looked around.

But in the dark rain, a strong man walked towards them, dragging a huge tree with one hand!

That is a real hellish devil!

Although they were not elite templates, the dangerous aura from Purgatory made the necromancers nervous in an instant.

On the shoulders of the macho man.

A little guy was lying there, pointing at the tree house.

“I can add money!”

Jodry couldn't help shouting.

However, long before he shouted.

Johnson and another necromancer had disappeared without a trace!

He raised the ugly staff in his hand tremblingly.

His face was full of fear and despair.

…

“What a joke!”

"Our magic is like giving a massage to a pure-blooded devil!"

In the rain.

Johnson quickly applied "Grease Your Feet" and "Forced March" to himself and started running at full speed.

The other necromancer ran much slower.

Amid the latter's increasingly faint shouts.

The two sides quickly distanced themselves from each other.

Johnson ran a long way before finding a relatively safe place to stop.

After quickly activating the negative energy protection shield on the clothes.

He began to summon "low-level bone horses".

"It should be safe now."

When he thought so.

Suddenly I felt something flying over my head.

He looked up.

All I saw were dense branches and water droplets.

Pearly drops of water hit his neck.

He felt cool.

Then he forever lost the ability to lower his head.

…

"You killed 1 Necromancer (Elite/Human)"

"You gained 21 XP points"

"You have gained 44 chivalry points."

"Getting the reward for the killing order..."

"Failed to obtain the reward. You cannot obtain the expertise from the Necromancer."

…

"What did I say?"

"Necromancers are just unlucky. Killing them is not fun at all."

Roger touched the body indifferently.

Except for the standard robe that comes with a "negative energy protection shield".

The rest of the stuff like bone meal, blood salts, and phosphorus ash is pretty much useless.

I managed to find a few decent rings and necklaces, but they were all powered by negative energy.

Not only is the effect mediocre, but it can also erode the user's body.

It was worthless to Roger.

He stood up helplessly.

In the rain.

Ugu came over dragging the body of another necromancer.

Demons usually have high spell resistance.

Although not as ruthless as Roger, he is still a big boss in front of low-level wizards.

The strength of the Contract Master in the early stage gradually emerged.

The only hurdle is the carrier on which the contract is written.

Poor Capella was probably still searching for “ancient bamboo” or “stubborn stone” during his lifetime.

Few people know that rabbit fur can be used as an alternative.

…

"Owner."

"The woodpecker is injured..."

Ugu's expression was a little solemn:

"There's something wrong with that guy."

"Um?"

Roger was slightly surprised.

The woodpecker is a strong man that even the female brontosaurus can hold on to!

"But it seems that guy is the culprit who imprisoned the gargoyles."

“It’s not surprising to have something.”

Just think of this.

He shook off Ugu and rushed back as fast as he could.

…

The battlefield outside the tree house was in chaos.

The woodpecker angrily waved the giant tree in his hand, razing all the obstacles to the ground!

Edge of the battlefield.

The gargoyle was pinned to the ground by a light blue web, waving its claws angrily.

Every time it moves.

The net on your body will tighten a little.

Just a few dozen breaths.

Its stony skin was actually cracked by the force!

A shadow quickly moved away from the battlefield.

He held two daggers in his hands and moved as fast as a ghost!

The woodpecker had several wounds on its waist and ankles!

The wound was bleeding rapidly, and light green decay elements appeared around the edges.

The dagger was obviously poisoned.

If the devil's resistance to poison wasn't equally high, the woodpecker would have probably fallen by now!

His health was dropping rapidly.

The opponent didn't even give him a chance to fight head-on.

No matter the timing or the angle of attack, the grasp was very accurate and steady.

What an old pervert.

…

"I worry too much. The owner of the gargoyle is no better than that."

Jodry held the dagger and used the "Shuttle Step" skillfully.

This elite assassin's unique skill allowed him to successfully trick the horned demon in front of him.

As for that gargoyle.

Once caught in the most notorious "fly net" in the Western Woods, even the highest-level magical beasts will become prisoners.

"Almost."

He licked his lips out of habit.

The demon in front of me was becoming more and more agitated, and most likely had lost his mind.

It's time to deal him the fatal blow.

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill Johnson with this devil's hand."

He thought with a little regret.

Next second.

He appeared behind the horned demon like a ghost, and went straight for its heart with the dagger in his hand!

However, at this moment.

A murderous intent quietly and silently blossomed behind him!

Jodley was very alert. At that moment, he used a "quick escape" to try to hide his figure, and then planned to land and flash to the edge of the battlefield.

But the unexpected pain still pierced his nerves.

"How is that possible?!"

He watched helplessly as the lower body, which was about to disappear into the shadows, was slashed by a scarlet blade.

Then it fell silently on the muddy ground.

The cold raindrops hit his face.

The world turned black and white.

Everything comes to an end.

…

"Reminder: 'Enemy First Move' is in effect..." (Note 1)

"You killed Jodry (Human Assassin/Elite)"

"You gained 35 XP"

"You have gained 27 chivalry points."
