There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

"Kneading the soul into a wick, melting flesh and blood into oil?"

For some reason, Xiao Yang thought of these words.

He already had the oil made from flesh and blood, but what about the wick made from the soul?

Amidst Xiao Yang's silence, a cracking sound arose. It was Little Bone, the lovable little fellow tilting its head. "This look is really unfair!" Stowing away the corpse oil in his hand, Xiao Yang, while saying such words, rubbed Little Bone's head.

For some inexplicable reason, he felt a sudden urge to seek death. Xiao Yang wanted to brandish the Shovel of Freedom in the second layer of the Skeleton Dungeon and the hidden dungeon within the second layer.

To test the advancement task of this Shovel of Freedom, to try out just what kind of judgment method "Excavate All" was, and to see if new excavations could be done in the new level of the dungeon.

Such actions carried a certain risk, but Xiao Yang felt it necessary to try. These messy things were making his sense of crisis grow stronger and stronger. He needed more clues to investigate the problems he might face, to deduce the risks he might have to confront.

Walking out from the treasure room, standing tall in that dim corridor, he paused briefly, then strode out with large steps.

… … … …

In the second layer of the Skeleton Dungeon, Xiao Yang didn't immediately lower the Shovel of Freedom in his hand. Before attempting such a dangerous experiment, Xiao Yang still had some things to deal with.

First, he arrived at the gem vein at the bottom of the Skeleton Dungeon.

Before seeking death, he needed to harvest these gems that were being mined. These dazzling and brilliant gems were the greatest resource for Xiao Yang to promote the growth of his attributes later on.

To be honest, at his current level, it was still very difficult to achieve a mutually beneficial exchange with those big shots. Even though Xiao Yang couldn't be considered poor at the moment, almost all the good things of value on him couldn't be moved casually.

Epic equipment, curiosities, and some special things, these were all untouchable.

In such a situation, Xiao Yang's choices suddenly became scarce.

He couldn't possibly take zombie viscera or wyvern scales to trade, could he? Three thousand sets of zombie viscera for a bottle of amplification potion? Or three hundred wyvern scales for a bottle of amplification potion?

Even if he wanted to, "You might not even be able to get an amplification potion for three thousand sets of zombie viscera!"

The only thing he could take out to trade was these newly mined gems. Of course, those gem worms that were being cultivated could also be counted on, but they couldn't be harvested batch after batch like chives.

During this time, Xiao Yang had indeed acquired a lot of materials, a very large amount, so large that he himself didn't know how to deal with these strange things.

Various bone clubs, scales, claws, fangs, viscous mucus, these series of strange things were very difficult to handle. Dumping them in the Heavens Trading Zone at a heavily discounted price might be a good idea, but it was too much of a loss and couldn't bring him greater gains.

He might indeed need to find a reliable partner, a force, a capable fellow, to help him sell these messy low-level materials in his hand, and then exchange them for something more useful to him, something useful to high-level players in the God's Game as well.

This matter really needed to be considered. Those messy, useless little scraps were about to fill Xiao Yang's personal backpack, but it wasn't so easy to find a satisfactory partner.

The most important and most difficult point was still trust.

Let's not think about this matter for the time being.

During this time, the clay golems had been working tirelessly for Xiao Yang almost without rest. The mining progress of the entire vein had reached more than ninety percent, and large piles of colorful gems were piled up in the open space in the gem vein.

Xiao Yang became more curious, and immediately had this clay golem lead the way.

Following it, Xiao Yang continued to move towards the depths of the mine. As the mining of the gems was nearing completion, this mine that had been opened on the cliff wall no longer had the colorful brilliance it had at the beginning, it was a dark patch. In order to deal with this darkness, Xiao Yang had to hold up the Lantern of Hope high.

In the clay golems' tireless actions day and night, this gem mine had been dug extremely deep. Advancing in the darkness, suddenly! From afar, Xiao Yang saw a dazzling red glow from afar.

Just taking a step suddenly in this mine, crossing a boundary, in an instant, everything in front of him became radiant and moving.

A huge red crystal pillar appeared in front of Xiao Yang, an unspeakable gem heart was buried within it. Just at a glance, Xiao Yang was sure that this was an absolute treasure.

If there was nothing wrong, this was the source of the situation that the clay golems were difficult to deal with.

The Investigation Skill was cast out.

"This?"

At a glance, Xiao Yang's breathing became heavy because of this dazzling heart.

He never thought, never thought that there would be such a good thing in the depths of this gem vein.

To be honest, Xiao Yang didn't quite understand why such a precious Heart of the Elements would appear here, but this didn't prevent him from trying to get his hands on it.

Taking back these motionless clay golems, Xiao Yang took out the Rusted Great Axe. As the Heavy Strike skill was activated, the Rusted Great Axe smashed hard on the thick red crystal pillar in front of him. A harsh sound echoed, but there was no effect, even though Xiao Yang was hitting the crack that had opened on this crystal pillar.

It was far harder than Xiao Yang had expected.

After a good deal of effort, Xiao Yang found that he had no way to deal with this red crystal pillar at all.

Physical attacks had little effect, or rather, no effect at all. Magic was the same, dragon language magic had no effect, or rather, no effect at all.

Stopping the actions in his hand, panting heavily, Xiao Yang felt like he was the rabbit being dangled by a carrot. The Heart of the Elements in the red crystal pillar was the carrot, the red crystal pillar was the stick holding the carrot, and the crack on the red crystal pillar was the rope connecting the stick and the carrot.

Entering a treasure land and returning empty-handed, no one would be willing to do this. Xiao Yang watched a golden treasure appear in front of him, but he just couldn't get it. This kind of feeling was not pleasant.

He stopped the actions in his hand, but perhaps it wasn't necessarily impossible to get it, but rather, he needed to bear some risks, he needed to make some psychological preparations.
