There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

Raising his hands, Xiao Yang looked at the bracers in his hands with increasing delight. Behind him, a petite skeleton rogue dragged a bulging sack, rummaging through the bones of the fallen skeleton warrior.

It was Xiao Yang's summoned servant, Little Bone.

Before long, it actually found something, raised it high, and happily ran towards Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang took the item Little Bone handed over; it was a piece of broken bone, a tool.

【Undead Slayer (Skeleton)】

Quality: Common

Type: Accessory

Effect: Damage against skeleton-type undead +1

Introduction: Yes, yes, you have found a smooth bone fragment from the skeleton's bone frame, which means you are no longer afraid of these guys.】

Although it was just a white-quality item, it was still usable for Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang took the broken bone fragment and patted Little Bone's head with a smile.

"Amazing, Little Bone!"

Little Bone couldn't express any joyful movements, but it seemed very happy and began to take out all sorts of things from the small bag behind it.

【A Large Bone】

Quality: White

Type: Material

Introduction: This is just a large bone, and it has all the uses a large bone should have.】

Little Bone kept taking out such white bones and sending them to Xiao Yang.

These skeletons would drop materials, but they basically didn't drop anything good, mostly just bones. If luck was even worse, they wouldn't even drop bones, only low-quality bone fragments.

This was the first time Xiao Yang had seriously obtained a tool from these things, well, even saying Xiao Yang obtained it was a bit of a stretch.

Putting away the materials Little Bone took out, although Little Bone wasn't a combat-capable servant, Xiao Yang was already very satisfied. After all, this little guy not only picked up a lot of miscellaneous materials for Xiao Yang after each battle, but also accompanied him in this silent and dim skeleton dungeon.

Raising the Wilderness Short Axe in his hand, Xiao Yang shouted happily to Little Bone.

"Let's go! Little Bone! Next room!"

In an excited voice, Xiao Yang continued to explore the first level of this skeleton dungeon with Little Bone.

During the careful exploration, in order to ensure that he would not miss any place, Xiao Yang also specially drew the structure and map of this floor on the walls of the safe house.

Fighting this skeleton dungeon felt like playing a game to Xiao Yang, but it wasn't exactly playing a game. The game-like aspects were leveling up and monsters dropping things. The aspects that weren't like a game were that dying meant really dying and the world engine was based on the real world.

Xiao Yang dragged the wooden box containing the Adventurer's Bracers back to the safe house and lit it with the magical inextinguishable flame of the Darkness-Dispelling Lantern, using the charred charcoal to draw a map on the walls of the safe house.

In addition to the progress of exploration, some very real problems also appeared after staying in this skeleton dungeon for a long time. As a living person, he needed to eat and drink.

He could still maintain his food supply with the five loaves of bread. The five loaves of bread in the novice set were the long baguette type, and one loaf was enough for Xiao Yang to eat for two days. It was just that the water problem was not easy to solve.

Fortunately, on the edge of this first-level dungeon, on the wet and cold walls made of smooth stone bricks, there was a lot of moss growing. These mosses were like sponges, storing a lot of water inside, which could be drunk after heating them with the skulls of those skeletons.

Xiao Yang turned the good dungeon exploration into a wilderness survival experience.

In the safe house, Xiao Yang carefully examined the simple map he had drawn. He had not yet found the road leading to the next level of the dungeon. On the simple map in front of him, there were still two passages in the first level of this skeleton dungeon that Xiao Yang had not yet explored, one to the east and one to the west. Today, Xiao Yang was going to choose a direction to explore.

The most important thing now was to find the road to the next level of the dungeon.

Just like the God's Game, this skeleton dungeon was both a game and not a game. There were treasure chests, but the monsters would not respawn, whether it was those ordinary skeletons or the skeleton warriors, they would not respawn.

This brought a problem. Even if Xiao Yang wanted to grind levels, after he had cleaned up all the skeletons on the first level of this skeleton dungeon, he would have nothing to grind.

At this time, it was necessary to advance to the next level of the dungeon.

He was still a little worried.

He felt that even if he cleaned up this entire level of the dungeon, he would not be able to defeat the patrolling dungeon guardian.

Stretching lazily, Xiao Yang looked back and peered out through the small window of the iron door. The dungeon guardian wielding the giant axe was still patrolling the corridor.

"What if I go down to the second level of the dungeon and then it becomes a one-way ticket? What if I can only climb back by clearing the dungeon?"

Xiao Yang muttered in a low voice.

This was a problem that had to be considered, but Xiao Yang didn't have any good solutions. In short, he should find the road to the next level of the dungeon first.

Xiao Yang scratched his greasy and messy hair that hadn't been washed for several days and made this decision.

So, which passage to explore?

Xiao Yang took out a dim gold coin from his pocket and tossed it on the table. This was a gold coin that Xiao Yang had found in a room of the dungeon, a pure gold coin. If he took it outside, he estimated that he would be very happy. One gold coin would be enough for him to live for a long time. But after staying in this skeleton dungeon for a long time, he had also seen things clearly. He might not even be able to get out and return to his house. In this situation, the gold coin or not was irrelevant.

The gold coin stopped spinning, and with a crisp sound, the face facing a bone gate faced Xiao Yang.

"Alright! Go west!"

Having made a decision, Xiao Yang decided that he would go in that direction today, to the unexplored passage to the west.
