There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

The last strike landed heavily on the head of a skeleton crossbowman, sending its skull flying, its soul flame extinguished, and its body collapsing into a pile of bones.

This skeleton crossbowman dropped the crossbow it was holding, a plain soldier's crossbow, which Xiao Yang planned to keep for himself. Before this, the skeleton archers he had rushed and beaten in the face had already dropped quite a few bows.

However, he didn't quite understand how to use them. Bows weren't that easy to master. In comparison, crossbows were a little easier to use.

However, both of these were still no match for Xiao Yang's righteous bludgeoning with his club.

In the process of frantically farming skeleton warriors, Xiao Yang leveled up his Heavy Blow skill to level five. Level five was already the limit for the Heavy Blow skill. The Heavy Blow skill no longer increased his damage multiplier, but the stamina consumption required for Xiao Yang to use the skill was much less than at the beginning. Oh right, there was also Thrust. Those skeleton spearmen also dropped Thrust skill scrolls.

However, these spear-wielding skeletons didn't make up a particularly high proportion of this skeleton army. Xiao Yang only managed to raise Thrust to level three in the process of clearing out this entire skeleton army. Now, Thrust could deal five points of defense-ignoring damage.

The harvest wasn't over yet. Next came a large pile of rotten leather armor and broken shields. It could only be said that with a sufficient quantity, the drop rate of various equipment increased.

Xiao Yang collected his adventurer's five-piece set: Adventurer's Wide-brimmed Hat, Adventurer's Bracers, Adventurer's Boots, Adventurer's Linen Pants, and Adventurer's Chest Armor. The Adventurer's Wide-brimmed Hat, Chest Armor, and Pants were all obtained in the process of farming skeleton warriors.

A question inexplicably arose: why did these skeleton warriors drop adventurer's sets?

After brief consideration, he came up with two somewhat hellish answers: adventurers died at the hands of these skeleton warriors, or adventurers became these skeleton warriors.

Not equipping the Adventurer's Wide-brimmed Hat, Xiao Yang equipped the Adventurer's Chest Armor and Adventurer's Linen Pants. For a moment, Xiao Yang finally got rid of that strange look and gained a bit more of a capable adventurer's appearance, except for his head, of course.

The Adventurer's Chest Armor added two points of Defense and one point of Agility, and the Adventurer's Linen Pants added two points of Agility. It was a pity that this adventurer's five-piece set didn't have a chain set effect; otherwise, Xiao Yang would definitely have taken off the Wraith Helmet on his head to be a pure adventurer.

Now, Xiao Yang's stats were as follows:

【Level: 8

Health: 200 (200)

Strength: 13 (13)

Defense: 26 (15)

Agility: 27 (20)

Remaining Talent Points: 3】

The experience required to level up was still fifty points short. Regarding this level increase, Xiao Yang curled his lips. The experience decay in this God's Game was too outrageous, and the experience required for each level increase was too high. If you want to level up quickly, this God's Game only gives one way out, and that is to fight across large level differences and tier differences.

Xiao Yang directly leveled up three times when he defeated the Dungeon Guardian.

But normal elite bosses are not easy to fight, and the opportunity to encounter an elite boss like the Dungeon Guardian in a severely worn-down and poor condition is not always available.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yang leveled up too quickly. After all, it hadn't even been two months since he became a player in God's Game.

After completely clearing out these skeleton warriors, Xiao Yang cleared out this small square. After a happy, fierce, and even somewhat deadly crazy grind, Xiao Yang was finally able to take a little energy to carefully observe this small square that was filled with skeleton warriors not long ago.

After clearing out these skeleton warriors, a rope bridge behind them that didn't look very safe appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

Fortunately, even the underground rift valley had failed to completely tear this rope bridge apart, only making it a little dangerous. Just a little dangerous, right?

The rope bridge connecting the two sides was stretched straight, and a large part of the wooden treads laid on it had fallen off, lying horizontally above the darkness, causing people to swallow involuntarily.

If possible, Xiao Yang didn't want to take this road, but there seemed to be no choice. This was the only way to the other side, but it wasn't yet time to enter the next area.

【A Set of Incendiary Grenades

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Can be split into three incendiary grenades.

Introduction: "Like I said, throw it out, and then watch those guys scream in the flames!" An arson expert made such a remark when he was burned by the flames.】

【Incendiary Grenade

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Creates a field of fire, dealing 10 points of continuous burning damage per second to creatures in the field of fire】

Xiao Yang could use this. He could throw a few at the corpse mushrooms later. Besides this, there was also a map engraved on the stone wall of the square and a somewhat blurred sentence.

There were several names on the crooked and simple map: Windmill Town, Blackwater River, Kingdom Post Station, and the name that was greatly circled, Black Stone City.

Xiao Yang didn't quite understand this map, but he had an impression of Windmill Town and Black Stone City. Windmill Town was the hometown that the lingering resentment longed for, and Xiao Yang had three pieces of equipment related to Black Stone.

Obviously, the story that happened in the hidden map was inseparable from the Skeleton Dungeon where Xiao Yang was now. But what exactly happened in the past?

There was still too little information to make a reasonable deduction. Perhaps more information could be obtained in the deeper parts of the dungeon and the next hidden area. Thinking this way, Xiao Yang focused his attention on the blurred sentence engraved next to the map.

【I will bet everything I have to defend this place until your return!

Knight: Harden】

In the light of the Dark-Chasing Lantern, Xiao Yang took this sentence into his eyes. This seemed to be a vow. He seemed to know the name of that undead knight, although he didn't know what exactly had happened here, but the Knight Harden who left this sentence had indeed carried out his vow.

He did stay here until death.
