There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 270, Xiao Yang's Followers
The nightmarish journey seems to be coming to an end today.

In the towering city before them, the target of the mission, Xiao Yang, the sole survivor of the Order faction, was clearly marked.

Once the mission is completed, this period will be temporarily over for us in this world.

In a daze, the demonic cultivator squad stopped in front of Bell Tower City.

In the shack area outside the clock tower city, some very strange changes have occurred: a crude four-armed statue has been erected in the center of the shack area.

At dawn on that night of the blood moon, the agitated Xiao Yang simply silenced the dungeon monsters and the mutated corruptors, while sparing those who had also witnessed the exaggerated scene.

And so this statue came to be.

He eventually gained his own followers.

Upon encountering the severely mutated people in the shack area, this team of demonic cultivators began cautiously probing.

Demonic cultivators who enter the Land of Decay face all sorts of terrible situations, and their survival rate is truly less than one in ten. But what is surprising is that...

At the End Demon Feast, the desire of all those people—a group of demonic cultivators, evil races, demons, and all sorts of other characters—to flood into this world did not diminish in the slightest.

It is indeed dangerous, but when danger reaches its extreme, the rewards are equally enormous.

Leaving aside everything else, the sheer number of dungeon monsters that fill the world is already an unimaginable treasure for many magic players.

A small dungeon was once the reason why Ming Xuanzi was willing to take the risk, sacrifice himself to the evil god, and venture into the unknown world.

Now, in this rotten land, dungeons are everywhere, and the number of dungeon monsters that can drop equipment and provide experience is countless.

What an enormous fortune this is!

One after another, enviable miracles are unfolding.

A level 10 unorthodox player obtains a rare blue-quality class, finds epic-level treasures while searching through ruins, and after surviving, their level skyrockets like a rocket in just one or two days.

All of these things drive people crazy. Even such a terrifying casualty rate cannot frighten these demonic players, who frantically flock to this world.

Whether this is a good thing or not is really hard to say.

It's certain that the morality of magic-based players isn't very high. The aberrants in the shack area entertained them, and the two sides had a brief encounter.

It didn't even take much time.

These guys decisively chose to turn against us.

Because of greed.

The recent massacre and the terrifying blood moon caused turmoil, resulting in the deaths of many in the shantytown. A living ore growing on the body of a miner who was almost fully formed underwent changes during this special period.

It turned scarlet, and veins resembling blood vessels grew in the red ore.

Undoubtedly, a new type of epic-level special material is about to be created, and this is where greed originates.

These demonic cultivators quickly ascertained the situation in the camp and determined that these unfortunate mutants posed no significant problem.

The killings for ore extraction began.

The deformed people in the shacks initially tried to resist, but their resistance was ineffective.

At the critical moment, Baruch led the people to escape from the Clock Tower City.

These demonic cultivators did not pursue it, firstly because there were no more near-mature individuals among the people in the camp, and secondly because they feared the dangers of the wilderness.

The vice-captain leading the team suddenly spoke.

Will we succeed this time?

"Definitely!"

Some of the confused words received an affirmative answer.

No matter what kind of being they face next, Bai Gu Zi, as the commander of this demonic cultivator player team, has absolute confidence.

The information provided by the Evil Side Gods game is quite comprehensive.

"Level 27, Lord rank, he can be considered a prodigy, but his level is still too low, he is only a lord."

Eyes twinkling.

He has already killed many lords.

As the only disciple of this generation from the White Bone Temple who entered the White Bone Cemetery in the secular world and came out alive, he is undoubtedly a prodigy.

The opponent was just a level 27 nobody.

Even if the target's rank wasn't achieved through resource accumulation, the fact that they reached the lord rank at level twenty-seven is indeed somewhat exaggerated.

But so what!

"There's absolutely no way things could go wrong!"

Such certainty.

He certainly has every right to be proud of himself.

And this time he wasn't fighting alone.

There are forty magic players here, the lowest level being level 30. With such a large group, how could anything go wrong?

With a jolt of his aura, the demonic cultivators who were still wreaking havoc in the ruins, extracting bones and refining flesh from the corpses, immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered around him.

They will enter through the main gate of the Clock Tower City.

After Xiao Yang cleared out the numerous henchmen in the tower, the gates of Bell Tower City opened and were no longer closed.

For some reason, the moment Bai Gu Zi stood before the gates of this quiet city as they opened, a strange feeling of being unable to breathe arose in his heart.

This feeling prevented him from taking that step immediately, and he paused.

For some reason, he felt that if he took that step, he might die.

A terrible feeling arose that he was about to drive himself to his death. But he did not back down.

Although his inexplicable intuition had saved him many times since he began practicing demonic cultivation.

This time, however, he wasn't going to follow his feelings.

If he successfully completes this mission, the numerous rewards he gains will be enough for him to attempt an epic rank.

This is something that cannot be compromised under any circumstances.

Even if it might cost him his life, he was determined to fight for it for the sake of his future.

"No matter what, I will succeed."

"I will definitely succeed!"

He gritted his teeth and said these words to himself, one by one.

He waved his hand, and led the other demonic cultivators behind him into the quiet city in front of them.

In the center of Clock Tower City, Xiao Yang, who had just come out of the Silver Church, was somewhat confused.

My level is already 29, my traits have also undergone a transformation, and I've even unlocked my old friend.

Everything was going smoothly, yet not so smoothly.

It's just one level away from being epic, but that one level is incredibly difficult to overcome.

I need to find a better place and some suitable items to level up.

The Silver Church is a good choice. During this period, Xiao Yang has thoroughly cleaned up the Silver Church. It will take quite some time before the corrupted monsters that have been turned into dungeon monsters here are resurrected.

I originally thought that after obtaining the Holy Sword from here, I would be able to slaughter the vast number of corrupt residents on the street.

Unexpectedly, they didn't even manage to touch a hair of the Holy Sword.

"If only some kind monsters could give me some!"

Xiao Yang thought to himself with some emotion.

It's obvious that no such kind person will appear, and Xiao Yang's prayer can only be a helpless sigh.

We need to carefully consider our next destination.

Should we go to the Governor's Building, the Industrial Zone, the City Library, or the Magic Workshop?
These four places are the four most important areas in Bell Tower City, and they are also the main targets of Xiao Yang's exploration next.

Ultimately, based on the principle of proximity, Xiao Yang chose the Governor's Building.

As one of the two major buildings located in the center of Bell Tower City, its importance in Bell Tower City is self-evident. Moreover, it is also the closest important target to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang wanted to start the huge magic shield tunneling machine, but he was troubled by not having the key.

"Perhaps we can find the key in this governor's building."

A very simple logic.

The key to such an important piece of equipment as the magic tunnel boring machine is most likely stored in one of the two major institutions that control and manage the city.

Now that Xiao Yang has thoroughly explored the Silver Church and found nothing, the only thing left is naturally the Governor's Building.

Xiao Yang quickly snapped out of his reverie and strode forward toward the streets of Clock Tower City.

Behind me, the solemn, enormous, and magnificent Silver Church was eerily silent.

When Xiao Yang first emerged from the Silver Church, he was still fighting a group of corrupted guards.

The brutal killings have only just come to an end.

Every step Xiao Yang took on the central street of Bell Tower City left behind a trail of thick, black blood.

Faced with the swarming, corrupt inhabitants.

Filled with murderous aura and corrupted blood, Xiao Yang had no choice but to crawl through the dry bushes once more.

Soon after, Xiao Yang arrived in front of a strange building.

This is a square, pitch-black building that looks like a giant iron box.

This was also the next leveling spot Xiao Yang had chosen for himself: the Governor's Building in Clock Tower City.

Some less-than-ideal situations arose.

A colossal war machine, four or five meters tall (its exact height is uncertain), with four legs, its body covered in intricate patterns, wielding a silver lance, and exuding a powerful aura, hovered at the entrance.

Xiao Yang's timing wasn't good; a fierce battle was raging right in front of him.

On one side were four-legged war machines lingering in front of the governor's building, and on the other side was a corrupt tree that had completed its transformation.

Not all monsters in the city are peaceful beings. Silver Thorn, awakened from its parasitic state, will actively attack corrupted monsters.

The enormous weapon of war before us seemed to be the same.

This appears to be a puppet, a mechanical, magical creation.

Unconsciously, Xiao Yang, who was squatting to the side and carefully observing, offered several guesses.

Forget it, guessing is useless, it's easier to just use a detection spell.

Cast a probe spell.
