There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 257, Caregiver Xiao Yang (Part 2)

Xiao Yang eventually sent out his red envelope.

He gave Hongli 100,000 spirit coins.

Redbeard has a niece.

A dwarf girl who wasn't too short, had no beard, a chubby face, and dark skin that made her stand out from other dwarfs.

This person is of mixed race, but Xiao Yang doesn't know anything more about them.

Redbeard was fond of his niece, but also somewhat troubled by her.

As for the specific reasons, Xiao Yang was probably aware of them as well.

"Uncle Redbeard, can you take me to see the bottomless abyss?"

The little girl's adventurous spirit is a bit too much, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. At least, Redbeard is quite troubled by this.

"Next time, next time!"

Clearly, he didn't really want to take his little niece to play in the abyss.

Xiao Yang became the best shield, and the red-bearded man pulled the girl to stand in front of Xiao Yang.

"This is your Uncle Xiao Yang."

"Hello, Uncle! My name is Ai Wen Iron Felt!"

Ai Wen had an extremely strong curiosity about Xiao Yang, this uncle who had suddenly appeared.

Uncle Redbeard's friends are no ordinary people; his bright red eyes were fixed on Xiao Yang, blinking rapidly.

Xiao Yang took off his Dragon Hunter suit while drinking yesterday.

She changed into a casual outfit.

The old hag's backpack was filled with clothes she had bought from the real world.

In such situations, there's no need to worry about combat, so naturally, attributes don't need to be considered when choosing outfits.

A simple white T-shirt paired with black pants—a very simple black and white combination.

Xiao Yang did not fit the image of a powerful warrior she had imagined.

He wasn't very strong; he was quite thin and too tall, with a slender and tall style, much like those annoying long ears.

Redbeard's niece was obviously equivalent to his own niece.

Xiao Yang revealed a gentle smile.

Perhaps it was because he had been alone for too long recently, but Xiao Yang's smile always seemed a bit stiff, almost like a fake.

He doesn't look like a powerful person at all.

However, Xiao Yang did not notice the girl's scrutiny and examination, and took out a silver card from his body.

This is a spirit coin certificate recognized by the Gods' Game, containing the red envelope that Xiao Yang is going to give out this time.

With Xiao Yang, this unfamiliar uncle, present, Ai Wen behaved very obediently and accepted the silver card.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao Yang!"

Redbeard started chasing people away, and Aiwen obediently left.

At this moment, both Xiao Yang and Redbeard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Redbeard, can you get your hands on a tiny spark?"

"Do you need this?"

Xiao Yang nodded.

"It's useful. If you have it, I can use it."

He hesitated for a moment, realizing that the faint spark was a mythical treasure, and Xiao Yang really didn't have anything to offer in exchange.

The mythical items on him each have their own purpose.

The speech was interrupted.

Redbeard thought for a moment.

"If you want it, Brother Xiao Yang, then that won't do."

"There are prizes on both sides, so I can ask Ai Wen for them later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang raised his head.

“Don’t underestimate Awen. Her forging talent is the best among this generation of dwarves. If you want that faint spark, I’ll talk to her when she gets the prize.”

"is this okay?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it. She doesn’t need this fire source, and she’ll have to give it up eventually anyway. But it’s hers after all. If you’re going, you’ll have to come and help her later.”

"What kind of help do you need?"

"After you get the Epic rank, help me snatch a Hellfire from a Demon Lord."

It seemed like a difficult task, but it wasn't a big problem. Xiao Yang felt that if he could complete the epic mission, it shouldn't be too troublesome.

"Row!"

After Xiao Yang agreed, a clear look of joy appeared on the red-bearded man's face.

"Great! This makes me much more confident!"

Xiao Yang was very happy to have solved the problem of lighting up his old friend, but as happy as he was, it was time to say goodbye.

Time is of the essence, so I won't stay here to drink with Redbeard today.

He was going back to the land of decay.

"I'm leaving now, Brother Redbeard."

"it is good!"

The two parted ways quite decisively and gracefully, without exchanging any further words or pleasantries.

The blood-stained Dragon Hunter armor set was put on piece by piece.

He put on the helmet, pulled down the mask, and a scarlet light shone from his eyes. Instantly, an indescribable aura of menace and ferocity appeared.

The reason why Redbeard extended an invitation to his younger brother, who was still quite inexperienced not long ago, was largely due to Xiao Yang's attire.

At first glance, you can't tell if it's good or bad, but it's definitely very strong!

It's time to return to the Land of Decay.

An ordinary-looking door appeared before Xiao Yang; it was the door to the dungeon.

Although most of the time the dungeon doors are pretty useless.

However, as Xiao Yang repeatedly used the dungeon gate to travel back and forth to the Rotten Land and grow himself.

The dungeon gates gradually began to favor Xiao Yang.

When she was in a good mood, she was even willing to act as Xiao Yang's private teleportation portal.

Just as Xiao Yang was about to open the door and leave the Hellforge plane, Redbeard seemed to suddenly realize something.

"By the way, Brother Xiao Yang!"

………….

In the starting point, in the Great Hall of the Goddess of Rest, Xiao Yang's face showed a headache.

A pop-up window from the game "Gods".

【Adorable dwarf girl!】

Redbeard made a final request to Xiao Yang: if he had time, he should take care of Ai Wen.

Xiao Yang was given the qualification to be Ai Wen's caregiver.

Redbeard's niece wasn't too old, only sixty, almost three times the lifespan of Xiao Yang. But sixty was considered a long lifespan among dwarves, and she was just coming of age.

To put it in perspective, Aiwen is currently roughly equivalent to a sixteen-year-old human girl.

To be honest, Xiao Yang wasn't very good at dealing with young girls who had just entered puberty.

But after all, this little dwarf girl called him "uncle."

Upon seeing the pop-up prompt, Xiao Yang sighed helplessly and ultimately chose to agree.

[A cute little dwarf girl! : Hello, Uncle!]

The pop-up message ended with a cute smiley face emoji.

He really wasn't good at dealing with teenage dwarf girls, especially in the Gods' Game.

[The Emperor of Shrieking: Hello, Aiwen.]

Xiao Yang regretted his hasty decision to name his child and now desperately wanted a name change card.

[A cute little dwarf girl! : Uncle Xiao Yang, your name is so powerful!]

Xiao Yang's lips twitched violently.

[The Howling Emperor: I'm alright.]

[A cute little dwarf girl: Uncle, you must be very strong!]

A blinking emoji appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

How should I answer that?

Think about it.

Xiao Yang felt that he was quite strong in some ways.

[The Howling Emperor: It's alright.]

[A cute little dwarf girl! : That's great! My parents and Uncle Redbeard don't allow me to go to dangerous places, and if I do go, someone has to go with me, and they themselves are never available!]

[A cute little dwarf girl! : You'll help me, right, Uncle Xiao Yang!]

Finally, the true intentions were revealed, and the dwarf girl showed her true purpose.

Feeling somewhat tricked, but knowing he was obliged to help, and knowing he might need to get a tiny spark from Ai Wen soon, Xiao Yang ultimately had no choice but to comply with his little niece.

[The Howling Emperor: Okay.]

Having finally finished dealing with these matters, I shifted my gaze from the game panel in front of me, and before I knew it, Reina had appeared beside me.

Lena was wearing an exquisite dress made of ghost cloth, and she looked very beautiful.

That Ghost Cloth can indeed be worn by ghosts, proving that Xiao Yang's considerable expense in purchasing it from the All-Heavens Trading Zone was worthwhile.

Lena looked at Xiao Yang, who was breathing a huge sigh of relief, and covered her mouth with a soft laugh.

Xiao Yang rolled his eyes at Lena in response to this.

"What are you laughing at!"

"I just feel that my hero is happier after going out and relaxing."

Sometimes it really does have its benefits to relax.

It wasn't so tense anymore; even some of the chaotic thoughts left over from the liberation not long ago and the furrowed brow that had been there since liberation had relaxed a bit.

However, this relaxation cannot continue indefinitely. He still has his own things to do.

Born with a life of toil, once you enter the Skeleton Dungeon, there's hardly any time to rest.

If possible, Xiao Yang would naturally prefer to relax.

But what about the Pale Hand, the Crimson Moon, the Clock Tower City, and all those other miscellaneous minor evil gods?

My level isn't high enough, there are things to deal with, I haven't figured out the conspiracy, and there's a whole mess of other things.

Spend more time and energy, and be a beast of burden for a while longer.

In short.

"Use your liver! Use just a little more liver!"

Clock Tower City.

Xiao Yang returned to the city management center once again. This time, the three-story building of the logistics management center had been broken open with a huge hole.

Xiao Yang strongly suspected that if it weren't for the dungeon's rule maintainers, this three-story building would have completely collapsed the day the rotten tree spirit crawled out.

Carefully observing from the outside, good news emerged.

The rotten tree spirit seemed to have retreated; at least Xiao Yang didn't see it lingering on the ground.

Of course, the situation is not so certain; they may have retreated into the underground tunnels, or they may have retreated into that ancient temple.

It's still not entirely clear which situation it is.

But it's not a big problem. Just muster up some courage, go over and take a look for yourself, and you'll know.

Crouching in the yellowing bushes, Xiao Yang cheered himself up.

"It's just a legend. I've seen plenty of real evil gods!"

This matter is still somewhat dangerous, after all, it involves facing a true legend.

He had indeed seen evil gods, but the evil gods he saw were either the kind of guys that were hard to understand, or they were firmly suppressed by the rules of the dungeon, or they were premature babies who had just left the delivery room.

In short, the circumstances are all very special, but a legend could really kill him with a single punch.

The situation here is quite different.

Taking a step forward, carefully observing the surroundings, I approached the three-story building that had been punched with a large hole.

The rotten tree spirit has truly retreated completely underground.

The corrupted residents and mutants inside the three-story building have not yet spawned, while the corrupted residents outside are prevented from approaching by the dungeon rules.

This area is very quiet.

Xiao Yang arrived at the dark, imposing cave entrance once again.

It's a bit scary.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yang had the Dragon Hunter's Shield taken from his back and held in front of him.

"rush!"

Shouting out this slogan, Xiao Yang strode forward without hesitation.

He has never lacked courage, although he became quieter once he entered the underground tunnel.

As we slowly advanced through the cave, we still couldn't find any trace of the rotting tree spirit; it must have returned to the ancient temple.

This is really good news.

Feeling his way forward, Xiao Yang suddenly heard the sound of dripping water.

"arrive!"

After turning a corner, a collapsed wall revealed a space, and a glimmer of silver emerged from the darkness.

"right here!"

Carefully move aside the collapsed brick walls.

What comes into view is an old-fashioned sewer system.

The walls were covered with a thick layer of moss. If it weren't for the bluish bricks exposed after scraping away the moss, I would have almost thought I had entered a natural underground cave.

Xiao Yang took out the sewer planning map he found at the Zhongtacheng Logistics Management Center, but he couldn't find any plans for this old sewer system on it.

My gaze swept across the dark space.

I have a feeling that things aren't as simple as they seem.

Stepping out onto the soft moss, my feet inexplicably felt like they were walking on a grassy field.

Slowly, step by step, they approached the silver light in the darkness.

Suddenly, a sticky thing jumped out of the moss, and Xiao Yang's gaze immediately fell on the sticky creature.

It wasn't anything special, just a green, slimy blob.

"A slime?"

Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Yang walked past the strange slime.

Slowly approaching that silvery hue.

Upon arriving at the location, he swept away the silvery moss, and a skeleton gleaming with silver light appeared before Xiao Yang.

At the chest area of ​​the skeleton, where two ribs meet, a silver arrow is stuck.

This is what Xiao Yang wants to reclaim.

A silver branch.

Not only was this silver branch stuck in the skeleton, but there were also many green slimes intertwined and hanging on the skeleton.

It seems to have been used as a nest by the slimes in the sewer.

It's a bit of a shame, because of the presence of these slimes, everything on this skeleton has disappeared, probably because it was corroded and digested by the slimes.

Otherwise, Xiao Yang would probably have been able to gain more useful information and some usable equipment from it.

No, it's not that nothing is left.

Pushing aside the moss beside the silver skeleton, a very special piece of silver leather with scales appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

Silver Moon Fire

Quality: Mythical

Prerequisite: Completion of the ceremony "Homage to the Silver Moon"

Effect: Summons a silver moon to shower holy flames upon the battlefield.

Introduction: Legend has it that only the most virtuous girl can summon the silver sacred fire to worship the silver moon.

It's actually a mythical-level skill.

"Silver Moonfire?"

There is no further description of its power, only a hint that it can summon a silver moon.

This is probably the highest quality skill Xiao Yang has obtained besides Praying for Blessings, and it is also the second mythical skill Xiao Yang has encountered.

It's a pity that he can't study it for the time being.

Skills reaching Mythic quality seem to involve various deities.

Praying for blessings stems from the ill intentions of evil gods.

And this silver moon fire is related to that silver moon.

The prerequisite for learning the Silver Moon Fire is to have an audience with the Silver Moon.

The problem has arisen.

For Xiao Yang, this rotten land has no night, at least not for him. If night doesn't exist, how can he possibly meet Silver Moon?

This is a big problem.

"Silver Moon?"

Xiao Yang seems to have acquired a skill related to Silver Moon from the elite city guards.

"Silver Moon Slash".

Silver Moon and Silver Tree should not be the same deity.

So where do these skills related to Silver Moon come from?

An anomaly has occurred.

Xiao Yang's actions startled the slime inside the silver skeleton.

The green slime wriggled and broke off from the skeleton, falling in front of Xiao Yang, and then suddenly straightened up.

The environment here is indeed quite nice. Slimes are generally low-level monsters with a level of only one to three, but some special variants can break through this limitation.

But this is quite difficult.

The slime that appeared in front of Xiao Yang was already level 20, an elite, and it even seemed to be growing a gelatinous crown on its head.

At this moment, it launched an attack on Xiao Yang, howling and wailing.

And then, that was it.

A foot covered in hideous armor slammed down on its body, and an exaggerated number popped out, instantly like crushing a jelly.

The King of Slime rose, the King of Slime died.

In an instant, the menacing King of Slimes fell to the ground.

Congratulations to the player for gaining 413 personal experience points.

With a helpless pursed lip, Xiao Yang realized that an elite-level monster could only give him a few hundred experience points.

If this guy weren't so clueless, Xiao Yang wouldn't have bothered with him.

Why did the King of Slimes have to provoke Xiao Yang so bravely?

Something exploded.

In addition to the regular slime glue, Xiao Yang also obtained a very special epic treasure.

Slime Crown
Quality: Epic

Type: Treasure, Building
Effect: Placing this crown will cause slimes to appear.
Introduction: Slimes have many uses. They can clean up castles and help rats compete for ecological niches, act as biological garbage cans, or dispose of corpses. In short, raise some; they have many uses.

This slime crown does have some use.

Xiao Yang's monster dungeon is about to add a new type of member.

"Dungeons really do need to be paired with some slimes to look proper."

Said so.

It's not over yet; there's still a lot to discover in King of Slimes.

Xiao Yang picked up a dull silver badge from the disintegrating gel.
