There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

"But, why is there a safe house here too?"

With this question in mind, Xiao Yang slowly approached the towering altar.

As he got closer, the tall figure standing in front of the giant red crystal turned its gaze towards Xiao Yang, silently watching him approach, making no movements, just standing there quietly.

This tall figure was guarding the red crystal wall behind it.

Getting closer to the bottom of the scarlet staircase, the scene that appeared before him wasn't as terrifying as he expected; in fact, it could be said that it was almost too normal.

There weren't piles of corpses, no tangled pale arms, no heavy-duty flesh abominations, fanatics, hand-disease sufferers, or large clusters of evil god's kin.

There was only a red crystal wall, a safe house, and a guy standing in front of the crystal wall who at least looked like a person.

This red crystal wall looked a bit familiar to Xiao Yang. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered: at the bottom of the crack on the second level of the Skeleton Dungeon, deep within the gem mine, where Xiao Yang used the Shovel of Freedom to extract the Heart of Elements, there was a similar crystal wall there as well.

The time in the upper right corner was slowly passing, leaving Xiao Yang with sixty-seven hours and thirty-one minutes.

He didn't rush forward recklessly.

He cast an Appraisal spell on the tall figure on the platform.

【Tyranny Governor

Rank: Epic

Level: 41

HP: 5000

Strength: 203

Defense: 85

Agility: 118

Traits: Fist of Tyranny, Shameless One, Bone Crusher, Tormentor, Interrogation, Oppression, Shaking Strike

Introduction: The more fear there is, the more delightful the sound of bones breaking becomes.】

This tall figure was a typical strength-breaker, with high attack, good agility, and not-so-exaggerated health, a standard high-attack warrior.

This gave Xiao Yang an opportunity.

Now, Xiao Yang was thinking about how to solve this gatekeeper.

He was also becoming ambitious, daring to think about taking on a level 41 Epic-ranked enemy while only being level 19, a very crazy thing, but it had to be admitted that perhaps Xiao Yang could really do it.

With the help of various wonderful gadgets on his body, and the not-too-high health and defense of this Tyranny Governor in front of him.

At least, Xiao Yang could at least break through its defense, and with the newly acquired Scarlet Main Eye, perhaps it wasn't impossible to fight.

The Scarlet Main Eye might not be enough, plus a cup of Blood of Corruption, plus those Vortex Crystals, plus his Light-Dark Misalignment, plus the Lord Killer's ten points of unavoidable damage.

The chance of victory was increased.

Now, the only enemy appearing in front of Xiao Yang was this Tyranny Governor.

It seemed that this mission wasn't that difficult, not that impossible. The more Xiao Yang thought, the sharper and more dangerous his gaze became as it fell on the Tyranny Governor.

The tall Tyranny Governor noticed Xiao Yang's extremely offensive gaze. He slowly raised his head, and the two locked eyes at that moment. A somewhat ferocious smile appeared on the Tyranny Governor's face.

This staredown ended with Xiao Yang's retreat. Hope was hope, but Xiao Yang wasn't prepared to excitedly pull out the Rusty Great Axe and rush up.

Xiao Yang's worries were correct. High-intelligence enemies could sense the existence of this safe house. After all, there was no powerful force supporting this safe house.

It was just a helpful measure from a hearty adventurer for those who came later.

At the same time, just as Xiao Yang's figure disappeared, the red crystal wall began to show turbulence. It was clearly a giant crystal, but the content within the crystal wall was rippling like flowing water at this moment.

The tall governor excitedly knelt down at this moment. A face emerged from inside the turbid and rippling crystal wall.

It was an infant, an unremarkable infant whose facial features hadn't even fully developed.

At this moment, the infant勉强 began to open its eyes.

Its face was pressed against the inner wall of the crystal wall, its figure blurred, and it stared at the safe house that radiated a soft and warm light. It stared at Xiao Yang's disappearing figure.

If Xiao Yang had entered the safe house a little later, then he would have come face to face with this ordinary infant.

The layout of the safe house was extremely similar: a long table, a candlestick, a letter placed on the long table, and of course, the figure lying on the ground.

Xiao Yang cast an Appraisal spell on the corpse-lying figure on the ground.

【Explorer Robert】

Okay, it seemed that Xiao Yang had finally met his old predecessor.

The newest novels are at Six/Nine/Books/Bar/First/Release!

He plopped down on the long table in the safe house and picked up the letter left by Robert on the long table.

It was at this time that Xiao Yang didn't notice that Robert's body lying on the ground involuntarily trembled.

【: This is Explorer Robert. It's unbelievable. Everything I've seen here seems to indicate that a part of an evil god is sealed here.

Everything that's happening here is very clear. Those hyena-like cultists are trying to summon their god.

I must stop them!】

This time, Robert left more than one letter. Xiao Yang found a second letter on the long table.

【: These cultists are too well-prepared. They actually created an infant.

Friends who come later, have you found a white candle in the dungeon? We urgently need it now.

We can't let these cultists succeed. Offer this white candle to the evil god's offspring in gestation, so that it will be born prematurely. In this way, the prematurely born evil god's offspring will enter a weakened state.

This is the last resort. We can't let this evil god's offspring be fully gestated.】

After reading this letter, Xiao Yang obtained a lot of information.

"The way to stop this evil god's descent is to defeat that Tyranny Governor and offer the Flesh and Soul Candle to the evil god's offspring in gestation, causing it to be born prematurely into a weakened state."

This set of logic made sense, and it was something Xiao Yang could do.

Defeat the guardian of the evil god's offspring, the Tyranny Governor, and also have the tool for inducing labor, the Flesh and Soul Candle.

Everything was so logical and there was nothing wrong with it.

Chapter 137: I've revised it again, and this time it should feel much better.
