There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

These slippery cave fish-men provided Xiao Yang with a sizable haul of loot at their own expense.

Fish-man scales, fish-man short spears, fish-man slime, various gems, and a pile of piercing skill scrolls.

Among this jumble, aside from the various gems, the rest would likely be sold off by Xiao Yang, as they weren't particularly useful items. Now, these things had a more realistic collective name for Xiao Yang: useless junk.

However, it wasn't as if there were no good items at all; there was a fish-man staff with a green magical aura.

【Fish-man Staff

Quality: Fine

Effect: Increases water-based spell damage by five points; comes with the Water Bullet spell.

Introduction: This is a staff used by fish-men. To those not-so-bright fish-men, each priest is precious, possessing all sorts of strange names and titles. Their staffs also have all sorts of exaggerated names, but what does it matter? It's just a staff used by a fish-man.】

Holding the bone staff in his hand, Xiao Yang curiously waved it around. With a flick, a faint blue water bullet shot out, hitting the cliff face not far away and leaving a small white mark.

Frankly, the power of this Water Bullet spell was decent, but it didn't have much effect on Xiao Yang, as he had resistance to all elemental attributes.

He fired off two more water bullets, simulating the enemy engagement style of a venerable mage. At this time, Little Bone was exploring the chaotic fish-man village, rummaging through the corpses of the fish-men, and also searching the area for any potentially useful loot.

Little Bone raised its head and glanced at its master in the distance, who was gleefully waving the fish-man staff in his hand. After watching for a moment, it continued its work.

After firing three water bullets, the Water Bullet magic inscribed on the fish-man staff officially went into cooldown, requiring a period of charging before it could be used again.

This fish-man staff wasn't very practical in combat, but it might have unexpected effects in other situations, such as creating water. He could keep it as a survival kit reserve.

Next, his gaze shifted to another item, an azure blue scale. Xiao Yang had obtained something very interesting from these fish-men: a bloodline transformation item.

He wasn't surprised by this kind of thing; in the Heavens Trading Area, these miscellaneous bloodline items were quite popular.

【Strange Fish-man Origin Scale

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Grants a certain percentage of the fish-man bloodline.

Introduction: Plunge into the deep sea, sleep peacefully, witness the ancient god, or blow a bubble.】

Bloodlines were a popular path for advancement. For many God's Game players, a good bloodline was more attractive than a good class.

After all, even after choosing a class, one still needed to train.

But a good bloodline truly guaranteed a base level of combat power as long as you had it. At the same time, those transcendent races also possessed enviable innate levels.

For example, dragons. Mature dragons were transcendent creatures with an innate level exceeding eighteen.

If a player could obtain a complete dragon bloodline, then even if they did nothing but lie down, they could easily and naturally advance to level eighteen at the point when their bloodline matured. This was already a decisive attraction.

In God's Game, there were many ways to increase levels. Different races had different innate levels. Bloodlines, challenging and killing enemies, combat, drawing upon transcendent elements to cleanse oneself, cultivation, and receiving the favor and gifts of higher-level beings.

These were all ways to gain experience and increase a player's level. It wasn't just about grinding monsters, but each method wasn't particularly easy.

Among them, Xiao Yang had already experienced the hardship of leveling up through combat, and the other option, cultivation leveling, wasn't much better than combat leveling, and it was also very resource-intensive and required talent.

The most enviable was still being blessed. You didn't have to do anything. As long as you pleased a big shot, instantly going from level one to level fifty wasn't impossible.

But this was also the most difficult to pursue, because the big shots who could do such a thing were at least god-level beings.

After counting them all, bloodlines were actually the easiest path to take.

Stowing away the Strange Fish-man Origin Scale, Xiao Yang subsequently joined the search of this swamp fish-man village. After some searching, there were no more gains. These swamp fish-men were even poorer than skeleton warriors.

At this point, Xiao Yang had thoroughly explored the bottom of this crevice. It was time to climb up. Xiao Yang was already prepared to knock the head of that rope-cutting bastard.

Slowly climbing upwards along the eye socket of the giant skull, the speed was not fast. Reaching a high point, facing the increasingly steep situation, Xiao Yang had to use both hands and feet to continue moving forward.

Xiao Yang's current position was probably at the top of the giant skeleton's eye socket. Reaching this position, there were suddenly many blood-thirsty bats around. This exposed giant skull seemed to attract an unusually large number of blood-thirsty bats to roost, densely packed and hanging upside down in the upper half of the giant's eye socket.

Every step forward, Xiao Yang would startle several blood-thirsty bats. They flapped their wings and flew out of the giant's eye socket in panic, then angrily swirled around Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang didn't plan to pay attention to these annoying big bats.

After all, these blood-thirsty bats couldn't break his defense. In his current state, he couldn't make any large movements. After all, at this height, any accident would mean becoming a flying man again. Xiao Yang didn't want to experience that feeling again.

Moreover, he was almost at the top. He would deal with everything after he climbed up.

Wait a moment, once Xiao Yang climbed up, he would have plenty of means to deal with these annoying big bats.
