Description: A dead warrior who has risen again, it remembers some of its past combat experience, and wields its rusty short sword.

This Skeleton Warrior made Xiao Yang feel a bit troubled.

A large part of the reason he could bully those ordinary skeletons so easily was because he had an advantage in agility. Xiao Yang preferred to call the agility stat a combination of reaction speed and flexibility.

Ordinary skeletons with only two points in agility generally had somewhat sluggish movements in Xiao Yang's perception after facing Xiao Yang with three points in agility. Xiao Yang could easily dodge these sluggish movements.

This advantage allowed him to thrive when bullying those ordinary skeletons.

So, could he use the same method to bully this Skeleton Warrior, which was stronger than ordinary skeletons?

Xiao Yang decided to give it a try, and he had also leveled up during this period of exploration.

He leveled up from level one to level two and received one attribute point. Xiao Yang directly added this attribute point to agility, and his stats were no longer all threes.

In the early stages of exploring the dungeon, Xiao Yang felt that he should prioritize the attributes that would allow him to break the deadlock.

This was a correct strategy. This one point of agility played a role far exceeding other attributes in Xiao Yang's exploration of the skeleton dungeon.

Relying on this extra point of agility, Xiao Yang could barely dodge left and right, but he could still exchange a few moves with this Skeleton Warrior wielding a rusty short sword.

Like a monkey, he moved left and right in front of this Skeleton Warrior, occasionally landing a sneak attack.

Although the attacks were painless, the Wild Short Axe with only six attack power against the Skeleton Warrior with six defense could be said to barely break through the defense, only dealing a pitiful one point of damage.

Once again, he struck the joint of the Skeleton Warrior's hand, causing its arm to tremble slightly.

That's it!

Based on the experience gained from those ordinary skeletons, the Skeleton Warrior's arm would tremble so obviously.

It wouldn't take many more hits.

Breaking the arm holding the rusty short sword was Xiao Yang's only chance to win.

Another backward dodge, and in this dim dungeon room, the Skeleton Warrior's rusty short sword missed again.

Making such large dodging movements was not easy for Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang felt like his back was about to break.

Raising his hand, he heavily struck the joint of the Skeleton Warrior's sword-wielding arm again, and the Wild Short Axe dealt a pitiful one point of damage.

But fortunately, damage wasn't the most important thing now.

After another heavy blow, the arm finally couldn't hold on anymore.

A bony arm, along with the short sword it held, fell to the ground.

The opportunity had come!

The Skeleton Warrior wanted to swing its sword again, but the arm holding the sword had already broken off and fallen to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, he lunged forward! He slammed hard into the armless Skeleton Warrior in front of him.

The impact staggered it. During this process, Xiao Yang was also hit hard in the face by the Skeleton Warrior's other hand. The punch made Xiao Yang see stars and also popped up a notification.

[Health -3]

The punch almost took away half of Xiao Yang's life, but Xiao Yang grabbed the broken arm.

After a clumsy roll, he left with the broken arm, not giving the Skeleton Warrior a chance to restore its limb.

After the roll, Xiao Yang had a bottle of light red potion in his hand. He pulled out the stopper and poured it into his mouth.

It was the Minor Healing Potion.

Hmm? The taste was strange, like sour lizard urine, but the effect was real. Xiao Yang's health began to recover, increasing second by second. Around the sixth second after drinking the Minor Healing Potion, Xiao Yang's health was full.

Now, the situation had finally changed. Xiao Yang looked at the weaponless and armless Skeleton Warrior in front of him, a kind smile on his face.

He should be able to embrace victory.

Soon after, the bony skeleton head rolled to the ground.

In Xiao Yang's kind smile, the Wild Short Axe was raised high.

One axe, two axes, in the piercing sound, the skeleton head rolling on the ground was completely shattered, and the soul fire within was extinguished as well.

The Skeleton Warrior was completely still. Xiao Yang had defeated it, even achieving a victory against a higher level enemy.

Opening his personal panel, Xiao Yang glanced at his experience bar. Just this Skeleton Warrior had contributed almost half of Xiao Yang's experience, and not only that, but there was also a treasure chest in the room waiting for his favor.

But he had to wait a moment, just a little longer. Behind him, at the dungeon room entrance, several skeletons swayed and climbed up from the ground again.

These were the skeletons that Xiao Yang had just scattered. Xiao Yang had not shattered their life fire, so they climbed up again.

After another fierce battle, Xiao Yang finally completely defeated all the skeletons in this room, leaving him panting for breath. Well, well, although defeating a skeleton with a rusty short sword, defeating the weakest undead creatures, didn't seem like much.

But Xiao Yang still fought quite hard. After all, just a few days ago, he was just a fragile college graduate.

His experience increased again, and he was almost about to level up.

On the ground, the dead skeletons dropped some materials with a light white glow.

Xiao Yang ignored them. At this moment, nothing else was the most important thing. The most important thing was opening the treasure chest!

With an excited face, Xiao Yang couldn't wait to come to the wooden box, raised the Dim Light Lantern, and happily opened the wooden box in front of him. The decayed box contained a pair of dim leather bracers.

[Adventurer's Bracers

Quality: Fine

Type: Light Armor, Bracers

Effect: Increases 2 points of Defense, 1 point of Agility.

Description: A pair of leather bracers favored by adventurers, lightweight and with a bit of defense.

These leather bracers were perfect for Xiao Yang. Defense and agility were both needed by Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang excitedly put them on his arms, and with a flash of moist green light, they fit perfectly.

He had been fighting hard in this skeleton dungeon for several days, and this was the first real piece of equipment he had obtained.

His current stats were:

This panel wasn't luxurious, but it already allowed Xiao Yang to easily face those ordinary skeletons, and even those Skeleton Warriors were now within Xiao Yang's reach.
