There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 258, Silver Moon and Proud Sun
A silver medal, not equipment.

Perhaps because it had been in the slime for too long, the badge looked very dull overall.

A silver moon is engraved on the front of the badge.

The back of the badge features a name and a date.

[Silver Moon Year 496, Deline Artemis Silver]

"Silver Moon Era 496?"

This was a word that Xiao Yang found somewhat unfamiliar.

He couldn't determine which stage of the Rotten Lands this Silver Moon 496 belonged to.

Neither the records of the community elders nor those of the logistics management center contain any information about Yin Yue Nian.

Xiao Yang tends to believe that the Silver Moon Year was the year before or after the Calamity of the Evil God.

The records he found were most vague for this period, where history almost ended. The next hundred years were extremely chaotic and unclear, and there were no records at all before that.

After the disaster, Clock Tower City developed its own unique calendar, a city calendar.

According to the city calendar, nearly 372 years have passed since that catastrophe caused by the evil god.

Of course, this record is not entirely accurate, because Bell Tower City has experienced several upheavals over the past three hundred years.

It's not that there are no records of anything from before the Calamity of the Evil God in Clock Tower City.

"Silver Moon Year?"

Xiao Yang recalled some old blueprints he had found in the logistics management department, on which the name of a special type of component was described as follows.

[The 344th Anniversary Standard for Hexagonal Screws]

Perhaps it was because of the somewhat familiar part of the name that Xiao Yang had a particularly strong impression of "Screw".

But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that screws would appear in this rotten land.

The Rotten Lands once had a decent industrial sector, and it was also once home to a powerful magical empire.

The name of this screw contains a clue about the year.

"A year of blazing sunshine and a year of silver moon?"

Everything came to an end here.

It's a bit of a headache; exploring these things is really a daunting task.

It's very difficult; the clues are fragmented, and I don't even know if the answer I've deduced is correct or wrong.

This matter should not be addressed by him, but by archaeologists or historians; Xiao Yang is neither of them.

The main issue is the past, the civilization of the decaying land. Everything that happened there has been obscured by the passage of time, or torn to pieces.

It's really a headache.

But we still have to do it, to record and understand, because it's really important.

One very obvious point is that if Xiao Yang can now clearly obtain information about the Silver Tree and the Plague Rat Swarm, then everything he does afterward will be much easier.

He put away the silver medal in his hand.

There were no more clues, so I stopped thinking about it and focused on finishing what was in front of me.

His gaze fell on the silver branch wedged in the ribs of the silver skeleton, and he paused briefly before reaching out rashly.

A skeleton, a sacred arrow stuck in the skeleton, and a figure standing in front of the skeleton, ready to pull out the arrow.

This scene feels both familiar and unsettling.

"What if the silver skull stands up after the silver arrow is pulled out?"

A strange thought popped into Xiao Yang's mind.

He shook his head, dismissing the lingering thought. Regardless, he absolutely had to retrieve the Silver Branch.

"At that possible moment, all these silver branches will become weapons to attack the evil god."

As he prepared to reach for the arrow, Xiao Yang took a precaution before acting. He pulled out his rusty giant axe from his personal backpack, ready to strike immediately if anything went wrong.

Xiao Yang was still somewhat hesitant to take action here, as the rotten tree spirit in the ancient underground temple posed a significant threat.

Somewhat embarrassingly, the rotten tree spirit seemed to have been revived by Xiao Yang's reckless actions.

Many times, you really have to control your curiosity.

Reaching out, and seeing Xiao Yang's serious expression, he grasped the end of the silver branch in front of him, and with a gentle pull, he easily and slowly pulled the silver branch back.

Even as he made this move, Xiao Yang's gaze remained fixed on the silver skeleton in front of him, as if afraid that the worst-case scenario would actually occur.

Sometimes, what you fear most is exactly what happens.

Shortly after Xiao Yang drew the Silver Branch, under his gaze, two silver flames suddenly burst forth from the empty eye sockets of the silver skeleton before him.

"Oh no, the undead transformation has begun!"

Without the suppression of the Silver Branch, the silver skeleton instantly began to turn into an undead—it was too fast!
Xiao Yang had no chance to stop it; the soul flame had already been ignited.

Perhaps it's not a big problem?
Normally, most skeletons, even if their soul flames are ignited, will at most become ordinary skeletons, like the ones Xiao Yang collected on the first level of the Skeleton Dungeon.

There's only a tiny chance left to become a skeleton warrior, which is already quite an achievement.

If either of these two scenarios applies, then Xiao Yang has absolutely no need to panic.

Xiao Yang cast a detection spell.

Silver Moon Skull

Quality: Epic

title:???
Trait: ? ? ?, Blessed by the Silver Moon, Agile Combat
Introduction: For someone who has even forgotten his own title, perhaps rest in peace is the best choice.

The situation is not so good.

The identity of this silver skeleton is definitely not that simple.

Not only is it an epic, but it's also an unknown epic with a title. However, for some reason, the panel that Xiao Yang explored this time has three more question marks.

It should be noted that even the legendary-level rotten tree spirit, Xiao Yang, could see it clearly at a glance with his detection technique, without any question marks appearing.

His explanation clarified the issue for Xiao Yang.

Have they forgotten their title?

The threat level of an epic character will decrease significantly after losing their title. The enhancement provided by a title is not so exaggerated as to be irresistible, but it is very special.

The power brought by the title is on a higher level, and it carries a hint of rules.

Now, the Silver Moon Skeleton, who has just awakened from its long slumber, seems to have forgotten its title.

This is great news! It means that Xiao Yang now has the potential to confront him.

So now.

"Should we fight?"

Xiao Yang only spent a short time thinking about this problem.

A decision was made.

The time lost due to this series of thoughts was only a brief moment.

Xiao Yang completed the U-turn and start moving almost instantly.

Turn around and run.
