There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

These skeleton warriors are much higher level than the skeleton warriors on the first level of the Skeleton Dungeon. They are almost all around level ten or twelve, with defense being the most prominent attribute, and other attributes that are considered balanced.

Being surrounded and ganged up on by such monsters, an average level eight player would definitely have a hard time dealing with them, but unfortunately for them, Xiao Yang is already starting to take the shape of a numerical monster.

After experiencing the baptism of that arrow rain just now, Xiao Yang's health is still considered healthy, having lost twenty-two health points, about one-tenth of his total health.

The green number '1' popped up again, and that little bit of extra health recovery is still going on, recovering about one health point every ten seconds, and this health recovery can be done in combat.

This little bit of health recovery makes the Dark Dispelling Lantern's out-of-combat health regeneration not so appealing anymore. As for the World Primordial Membrane (Life), its effect will only be more significant after Xiao Yang's health increases.

I'm afraid that before long, his health will be able to recover to full on its own, but now is not the time to be distracted. The battle between Xiao Yang and these skeleton warriors in front of him is about to break out.

The Justice Consoler in his hand slammed down hard on the head of the skeleton warrior in front of him. Xiao Yang attacked first, and thanks to the effect of the Heavy Strike skill, a damage number of ten popped up, giving the skeleton warrior a beating, and even its soul flames flickered.

Xiao Yang wielded the Justice Consoler in his hand almost non-stop, enduring the attacks of the other two skeleton warriors behind him to forcefully attack the skeleton warrior in front of him.

One strike! One strike, and another strike! There are no fancy maneuvers, just simple and unadorned continuous pounding.

In this way, this skeleton warrior was beaten to death by Xiao Yang's simple and unadorned attacks.

The Justice Consoler is not particularly effective against these skeleton warriors. To be more precise, the Blackrock Prison three-piece set, which is Xiao Yang's main equipment at the moment, is not very effective against the undead.

This is partly because the undead are not very susceptible to mental debuffs, and also because the Justice Consoler, a typical negative-type weapon, is weak against high-defense enemies. For example, this skeleton warrior that Xiao Yang is forcefully attacking did not enter a state of flinching until he was beaten to death by Xiao Yang.

But how should I put it, great strength creates miracles. Although Xiao Yang currently doesn't have any suitable equipment, not many skills, and no class, he has stats!

A true numerical monster, his terrifying basic attacks make people feel invincible.

Just like that, enduring the attacks and striking down again and again, these three skeleton warriors were quickly torn into a pile of bones by Xiao Yang.

During the battle, Xiao Yang discovered a fact that made him unable to hold back. He found that after arriving on the second level, it seemed that any random monster was almost as strong as the Skeleton Warrior, the boss of the first level.

Is it really the case that the boss of the early-stage map is just a stray dog on the later-stage map?

He understands this kind of power inflation very well, but isn't this inflation happening a little too fast!

After clearing out the few skeleton warriors who were running fast around him, a large group of skeleton warriors behind him also approached.

Xiao Yang glanced behind him and saw a skeleton knight wearing a set of rusty plate armor and holding a chain hammer mixed in with the pile of skeletons.

He quickly ran away. This was something he couldn't fight. The safety zone with the glowing light was at the end of the corridor ahead. The skeleton warriors behind him were chasing closely. The choice to max out his agility was the right one.

Xiao Yang is running very fast now!

He rushed into the safety zone and quickly closed the iron gate and pulled down the bolt. Instantly, the movements of the skeleton warriors stopped.

In this way, it was as if they had lost their target and suddenly stopped in the corridor.

The pause caused these guys to push each other, and the skeleton warriors who were running fast in the back slammed into the skeleton warriors who had stopped in front, and then with a bang, bones rolled all over the ground.

They don't seem to be able to perceive the existence of the safe house, but this is not absolute. The skeleton knight is repeatedly wandering in the corridor.

Its intelligence seems to be higher than that of ordinary skeleton warriors.

Gradually, the skeleton warriors around it slowly retreated, back to the small square where they had come from, but the skeleton knight was still wandering back and forth in the corridor.

Xiao Yang noticed this. At this time, he was secretly peeking at the situation outside through the observation window on the safe house door.

This seems to be an opportunity. This skeleton knight has begun to become detached from the skeleton warriors. He might be able to take this opportunity to forcefully kill the skeleton knight first.

But there is one problem. This safe house is not far from the small square. If a battle starts, then if he can't successfully kill the skeleton knight, it will inevitably trigger another skeleton riot.

[Skeleton Knight

Rank: Normal

Level: 20

Health: 200

Traits: Undead Mind, Minion Summoning, Undead Domination, Heavy Weapon Proficiency, Heavy Armor, Knight Instinct]

This is the skeleton knight's stats.

Its defense attribute is extremely exaggerated. Now Xiao Yang's regular damage is only twelve points, including eight points of damage from the Justice Consoler and four points of conversion from the Blackrock Prison Warden's Code for strength.

Even if the skeleton knight flinches, the Blackrock Prison Warden Badge is activated, and the Heavy Strike skill doubles the damage, it is still difficult to deal with such an exaggerated defense.

What a frustrating number!

And this is the best-case scenario. In reality, even if Xiao Yang swings his stick until it smokes, it will be difficult to produce a proper flinching state.

But it's not like he can't try.

Xiao Yang also has the Elite Assassin's five points of unmitigated damage and the Undead Slayer (Skeleton)'s two points of extra damage.

After a brief thought, Xiao Yang quickly made a decision, but he still needs to wait a bit, waiting for the skeleton warriors to leave completely.

During the wait, Xiao Yang poured a bottle of health potion into his mouth. He still has a lot of health potions left from the last big purchase. If he has time, it would be safer to concoct a little Unstable Life Entanglement, but there may not be enough time now.

The skeleton knight started to turn back, exposing its back to Xiao Yang.

The opportunity has come! Since there is such an opportunity, then he must not let it go, he must take advantage of it!

At the moment when the skeleton knight turned back and exposed its back, with a harsh creaking sound, Xiao Yang suddenly opened the door of the safe house, jumped out, and started with a backstab, the Justice Consoler in his hand stabbing hard into the back of the skeleton knight's head.
