There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

Xiao Yang began to study the "Bestiary of Magical Creatures," focusing on the sections about gem insects, which he read several times.

According to this Bestiary, gem insects can essentially be classified as a special type of energy being. They only appear and stay in places with extremely abundant energy.

This means there's no need to worry about these gem insects running around; they'll probably just crawl around aimlessly within this gem mine.

Raising them is also very simple. It doesn't require much; just an environment with extremely abundant energy will suffice.

The elemental pool that Xiao Yang bought from the mage master is perfect for creating an environment with extremely abundant energy.

Everything is ready. Now, Xiao Yang needs to speed up his conquest of the second level of the skeleton dungeon and take these gem insects out.

He didn't bring the clay golem to the mine for large-scale mining. Without the colorful gems, the gem insects might move. Everything belongs to him anyway, so there's no need to be shortsighted.

Once he clears the second level of the dungeon and moves all these gem insects to a new home, the gem mine won't run away.

Continuing his exploration at the bottom of the crevice, Xiao Yang discovered a path leading upwards. He could climb upwards along the giant eye socket exposed on the cliff face.

This path, though not really a path, should allow him to leave the bottom of the crevice smoothly.

However, there were still some obstacles ahead: the lair of the cave fishmen, a crude fishman village, blocking the upward passage.

In this fishman village, Xiao Yang saw a large group of cave fishmen, including an unusual multi-armed individual—an exceptionally tall fishman with an extra hand growing from his back, holding a bone staff. He appeared to be a priest, and the fishmen seemed to be engaged in some activity.

A large number of fishmen, led by the fishman priest, were gathered together, shouting and waving their arms wildly.

Xiao Yang cast a detection spell on the fishman priest.

[Cave Fishman Priest

Rank: Common

Health: 200

Attack: 15

Defense: 21

Agility: 17

Traits: Cave Fishman Commander, Tide Caller, Multi-Armed Sorcery

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang drew the Sanction of Justice. "I don't care about any of that! Eat my stick!"

Xiao Yang charged towards the cave fishmen waving their arms at the edge of the fishman village and delivered a Sanction of Justice.

The commotion disturbed the cave fishman priest who was presiding over the activity. He turned his head and immediately saw Xiao Yang, the extremely arrogant destroyer who had broken in from the front.

Shouting angrily, the cave fishmen around him roared and charged towards Xiao Yang at his command. Unfortunately, it was useless.

Xiao Yang was a true stat monster, a well-rounded warrior.

One by one, the cave fishmen fell quickly. The rapidly swinging staff was teaching these barbaric and aggressive cave fishmen a profound lesson: respect justice! Revere justice! After all, my justice can swing six times a second!

Seeing this situation, the cave fishman priest became even more enraged. The third hand on his back, holding the bone staff, waved rapidly, and a layer of blue light enveloped all the cave fishmen, seemingly some kind of buff spell.

This buff spell was somewhat effective. It changed the number of strikes Xiao Yang needed to kill these aggressive cave fishmen from two in most cases to exactly two.

After his Strength reached 25, Xiao Yang's regular damage reached 18 points. Ten points of damage came from the Blackrock Prison Warden's Code conversion, and eight points of damage was the base damage of the Sanction of Justice.

With a simple strike, without any skills or buffs, the damage could reach 18 points. Moreover, Xiao Yang's Heavy Blow skill, after being maxed out, could be used as a regular attack.

A single strike dealt 36 points of damage. Even with the slime skin characteristic that allowed these cave fishmen to reduce damage, they would still be crippled by one strike and killed by the next.

In this situation, these cave fishmen didn't even have time to flinch or fear because they died too quickly. They fell in an instant, without even having time to think about flinching or fearing.

With such a one-sided crushing, the buff spell couldn't change anything.

In the cave fishman priest's gaze, Xiao Yang, the detestable intruder, was still slaughtering them one-sidedly. In this situation, he became anxious and waved his staff even more fiercely, launching a series of high-speed water bullets.

Unfortunately, the effect wasn't very good. Hitting Xiao Yang was like tickling him. It couldn't compare to the rainbow light spray of the gem insects. Thus, with the corpses of fishmen as stepping stones, Xiao Yang gradually approached the cave fishman priest.

Amidst angry and fearful roars, the cave fishman priest waved his two thick arms and charged frantically towards Xiao Yang.

A futile struggle. The current Xiao Yang had completely become a standard newbie village war god.

A strike landed on the cave fishman priest's head, triggering Flinch and interrupting his attack. The Blackrock Prison Warden's Badge activated, reducing defense and increasing attack. Two strikes directly reduced him to low health, instantly sobering up the furious cave fishman priest. His eyes became clear.

Realizing that something was wrong, the cave fishman priest wanted to escape, but it was too late.

At that moment, the third strike landed, and the cave fishman priest fell into the water on the side and didn't move. He simply kicked the bucket.

With such ease, Xiao Yang cleared out these cave fishmen. With his own strength, he annihilated an entire tribe of cave fishmen. Times have changed.

"Not much!"

Xiao Yang once again made such a showy statement, and at that moment, the God's Game popped up a notification.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the achievement, Fishman Slayer.]

[Fishman Slayer: Damage against fishman-type enemies increased by two. Hatred from all fishman-type creatures towards you increased by ten (I know what you want to say, but I want to tell you for sure that Nagas and Mermaids do not admit that they are fishmen, so it doesn't matter!)]

This popping up achievement instantly interrupted Xiao Yang's complacent showiness, looking at the God's Game's quite spiritual supplement.

"So Nagas and Mermaids don't belong to fishmen?"

Xiao Yang was successfully led astray by the God's Game's introduction.

Suddenly confused.

"Wait, but whether Nagas and Mermaids belong to fishmen or not, what does that have to do with me becoming a Fishman Slayer!"

Xiao Yang issued such an incomprehensible question.

It can only be said that he is still too young. How could there be no relationship? Mermaids aside, Nagas are all top-notch with their snake waists!
