There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

Xiao Yang took on an additional commission for himself.

This commission didn't go through the God's Game system, so he wouldn't get any extra experience or rewards.

It was essentially free labor, and not only free labor, but even the loot drops would be reduced. If he waited until the zombie transformation ended, the red-haired zombie might have dropped some decent loot.

It could be said that the current option was the worst one for Xiao Yang in terms of profit.

But it didn't matter much; he was happy.

His gaze landed in the stone coffin, where a somewhat crude, old rope knot appeared in Xiao Yang's sight. He took it out of the stone coffin.

【Peace Knot

Quality: Special

Description: A peace knot woven from a small piece of red string to pray for peace.】

He put away the rough peace knot.

A notification suddenly rang out.

【Congratulations to the player for successfully completing a Lightbringer action, gaining 33144 Lightbringer profession experience.】

【Congratulations to the player, Lightbringer has been upgraded. Current level: 3】

Okay, perhaps not all rewards were absent. Xiao Yang's own profession was witnessing his actions and choices.

… … … …

Four-sided courtyard, Xiao Yang returned here once again.

That was to defeat the final BOSS of the second level of the Corpse Tax dungeon.

Now, a question arose: where was he going to find that final BOSS?

Xiao Yang paused in front of the red shrine, picking up the notice that was pressed against it.

【Choose this day as the final term, the time set at Xu hour. This is the trial of the end, even if the body perishes, there will be no regrets.】

Opening the red notice, this calm passage appeared before Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's gaze landed on that word in this passage.

“Xu hour?”

Suddenly, Xiao Yang realized something. He raised his head, his gaze passing through the branches of the lush old locust tree, landing on the seemingly unchanging dim yellow sky.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was currently Xu hour.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xiao Yang felt that the long unchanging dim yellow sky seemed to have become a bit darker.

No, it wasn't an illusion!

“It's getting dark!”

Xiao Yang's judgment was not wrong. The red notice he picked up was indeed the trigger condition for the final BOSS of the second level of the Corpse Tax dungeon.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, everything in front of him was entering darkness. That strange wind appeared once again, howling and carrying a wailing sound.

In this situation, Xiao Yang lowered his head. If picking up the notice was the trigger for the BOSS battle,

then now, where was the BOSS? This question didn't seem to require too much complicated thought.

Xiao Yang lowered his head, his gaze landing on the red shrine. At this moment, he and the head enshrined in the red shrine met eyes.

Without any hesitation, he started by swinging an axe at the red shrine.

“I don't care where you're from!”

He'd take the hit first.

With a loud bang, the red shrine was instantly split open from top to bottom by Xiao Yang's rusted giant axe.

After chopping it down, from the feeling in his hand, Xiao Yang felt that something was wrong. It didn't feel like he was hitting a brick structure, but rather like he was chopping wood.

It was indeed chopping wood!

Xiao Yang saw the wood fibers inside the red shrine that he had split open. Not only that, but blood was also gurgling out of the split wood.

A round, scarlet crescent moon rose into the sky at this moment.

The strange wind still hadn't stopped.

After the scarlet crescent moon rose into the sky, the speed of the changes accelerated, continuing without end. That eerie rustling sound rang out.

It was as if something was constantly shuttling through the canopy overhead, constantly disturbing the leaves on the canopy of the giant locust tree.

In the blink of an eye, the crowned head in the red shrine disappeared.

Raising his head, a grayish-white vine dragged the split head towards the neck of the headless corpse that was hung high, the two halves of the head landing on the neck, slowly merging together, and beginning to heal.

However, Xiao Yang didn't feel flustered by the scene in front of him. Simply relying on these things to make him afraid was far from enough.

“Hmph, putting on an act!”

With a cold snort, this was Xiao Yang's evaluation of this series of opening performances.

How should he put it? He felt that even the Evil God's offspring didn't have as cool of an entrance as this BOSS, although this was also because of himself.

The infant was forcibly pulled out of the placenta after he had induced its premature birth.

The display was quite intimidating, but he didn't know what it was actually like.

At this moment, the two halves of the Taoist's head that were hung high were finally completely healed, and he opened his eyes again.

In the dim environment, Xiao Yang's eyes transformed from ordinary black to a faint blue.

The two sides met eyes again at this instant.

That strange rustling sound also reached its peak at this moment. Corpses fell from the dense locust tree canopy, appearing behind the Taoist in a highly hanged posture.

Pairs of obscure eyes opened at the same time.

Xiao Yang also cast an Appraisal spell towards these things in front of him at this moment.

【Hanging Corpse Locust Tree

Rank: Lord

Level: 36

Traits: Hanging Corpses, Driving Corpses, Corpse Herding, Corpse Nourishment, Corpse Refining, Source of Corpse Qi

Description: Ghost locust tree, encounters corpses, unwilling souls, enter within.】

The battle was about to begin.

Corpses fell from the canopy of the large locust tree, all of them zombies.

Mostly black zombies, with a certain number of flying zombies mixed in.

This BOSS wasn't as powerful as Xiao Yang had thought. Facing the constantly surging zombies in front of him, to be honest, this scene was quite familiar.

Not long ago, he had been on the small mountain of the corpse dumping ground, fighting for a long time with the zombies that were constantly crawling out and surging towards him.

The question was, would he face an even more difficult situation now than he did a few days ago?

With one axe, he knocked the head of a black zombie that pounced over to the side. Xiao Yang began to think about this question.

“Probably not.”

Compared to the rather impressive opening just now, the actual performance of this Hanging Corpse Locust Tree was really hard to evaluate.

It had a kind of "all bark and no bite" feeling, or perhaps Xiao Yang was just too strong.

Indeed, in this second level of the Corpse Tax dungeon, Xiao Yang, apart from being slightly constrained in front of the yellow corpse ghosts that could damage his equipment, was basically rampaging and killing everything else. Although his level wasn't particularly high, his actual combat power had already surpassed the second level of the Corpse Tax dungeon by a large margin.

More and more zombies rushed towards Xiao Yang.

In short, now, it was time for a satisfying battle!

“Battle! Satisfaction!”
