There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 271, Stealing the BOSS
The battle between the two sides has entered its most critical moment.

The Corrupted Tree displayed a completely different attitude in this battle.

The roots flared wildly, and the corrupt inhabitants that made up the body began to melt away amidst their terrified screams.

A brand new, twisted tree of flesh and blood is about to descend.

The corrupted tree, which had reached the epic rank in its aggregated form, began to rise even further in aura.

The tree trunk opened up like a mouth, but with sharp teeth growing inside. Strips of grayish-black branches were quickly painted bright red, like flesh and blood that had just been skinned.

The horrifying scenes and transformation are far from over.

The bodies of the corrupted inhabitants turned into flowing flesh and blood, while their heads remained unharmed and were lifted up to the top of the tree.

A bunch of blackened heads were piled together, still instinctively emitting loud howls.

Faced with such changes, the centaur knights who were fighting against the corrupt tree were not worried at all.

Holding up his silver lance, the intricate patterns on the lance began to glow, and the silver spear began to accumulate a dazzling light.

The construct knight was waiting for his chance.

Despite being merely a mechanical creation, its combat instincts during this battle were anything but dull.

Finally, just as the second phase of the corrupted tree was about to complete its metamorphosis, the construct knight made a move.

In an instant, it transformed into a beam of light, swiftly pouring in, and the silver spear in his hand pierced a node in the corrupted tree. In a split second, the incomparably powerful flesh-and-blood demon tree exploded.

In an instant, the decaying tree slumped to the ground.

Having seen this far, we can only temporarily set aside the Consul General's building in front of us.

From Xiao Yang's perspective.

The best course of action would be for the construct knight and the corrupted tree in front of them to fight each other to the death.

Even if the corrupted tree were to kill this construct knight, it would be a good thing.

Compared to the corrupted tree, this construct knight posed a much greater threat to him.

"If only it were silver thorns."

It's a pity that this construct knight wasn't Silver Thorn, and he also achieved a crushing victory in this battle.

Xiao Yang secretly observed the exquisitely crafted construct knight from afar and silently uttered this sigh.

The only safest option for him right now is to bully Silver Thorns.

Time to move on to the next target.

Xiao Yang was not confident in defeating the construct knight in front of him who was acting as a guardian.

However, coming here was not a fruitless trip.

A prompt from the Gods Game suddenly popped up.

[Congratulations player, Dungeon Invader has activated!]

[Congratulations, player! Dungeon Runner reward has been received.]

The primary safety net has been secured.

Glancing at the advancement reward, Xiao Yang saw three golden streaks appear before him.

The scale of the governor's building is indeed similar to that of the Silver Church.

If we can clear this place out, then level 30 will definitely be enough.

Of course, you can never have too much if you can gain more.

Ignore the construct knights who had begun their scheduled patrols and started loitering around the governor's building.

Xiao Yang's gaze fell on the decaying tree that had been lying on the ground, defeated, and never got up again.

The vitality of the corrupt is still very strong, not to mention that this corrupt tree also has a bit of the plant's vitality.

This decaying tree has a core, a bright red heart.

This doesn't seem like something that should appear on a large tree.

"But the Corrupted Tree is no ordinary tree."

In silence, Xiao Yang kept himself in suspense.

"It's a rotten tree!"

A lame joke that I was telling myself suddenly appeared.

What's embarrassing is that Xiao Yang himself doesn't seem to be supporting him, his expression is cold.

He really needs to pay more attention to his mental health.

A large hole appeared in the tree trunk, and the upper and lower parts of the tree were almost completely separated.

The most fatal flaw was that bright red heart, which was mostly shattered.

Dark blood kept gushing out of the large hole.

Clearly, this is a rather fatal injury.

Its vitality is truly remarkable; even so, it did not die completely.

This gave Xiao Yang an opportunity.

A chance to steal the BOSS!
The thought flashed through his mind, and his eyes lit up almost instantly.

Indeed, how can any game be complete without the thrilling experience of stealing a boss?

If you can successfully steal this dying, rotten tree, you can instantly go from level 29 to 30, completing half of the journey.

This is a huge upgrade, and there are also loot drops.

However, it's not so easy to steal. It's almost certain that if Xiao Yang dares to peek out now, he will definitely be chased down by this construct knight.

Although this construct knight is a magical construct, it should not be on the side of the Corruptors.

But problems also arose at the same time.

Xiao Yang isn't on the side of these construct knights. Should we make a move?
"Done!"

After a brief pause, Xiao Yang made a decision and immediately stealthily moved towards the armored knight lying on the ground, barely alive.

This construct knight isn't the kind that's bulky, dark, and lacks any senses or perception.

During his patrol, Xiao Yang saw some very high-tech things.

When it patrols to the end of this fixed route and when it turns back to the starting point, it will pause briefly, and then a light blue ripple will spread out from it as the starting point.

This should be a detection method.

The distance to be probed is unknown, and it will eventually stop in front of Xiao Yang.

He was quite cunning. Aside from receiving a small reward upon entering the Governor's Building area at the beginning, he stayed outside the area to spy on what was happening inside.

Even in its frenzy, the rotting tree spirit couldn't break free from the crudely constructed area of ​​the dungeon's rules. He had no idea that the construct knight's detection methods could penetrate this designated area.

Xiao Yang now not only wants to retract his overly sharp words about the dungeon rules, but also wants to greatly praise them.

It's better to keep it simple. If the rules were so strict, Xiao Yang wouldn't be able to stand so recklessly on the edge of the domain to spy on this formidable construct knight in front of him!

As it moved away from the area and reached the end of its patrol route, at the moment it paused briefly to explore the environment, Xiao Yang made his move!

"It's now!"

Xiao Yang suddenly produced a bright silver brick in his hand. Holding it tightly, he rushed forward and took a few big strides to reach the fallen, decaying tree.

The second phase completed the smelting of the corrupted inhabitants into a corrupted tree, which seemed to have detached from the overall concept and transformed into a single entity.

This made it convenient for Xiao Yang to steal the BOSS.

If it were severely damaged and immediately scattered into corrupted residents, Xiao Yang wouldn't even bother to glance at it.

Three steps become two.

Without the use of the rusty giant axe, the corrupted tree was now only on its last breath. Even though the pure silver bricks didn't have much actual killing power, they were just right to dissipate the last bit of life from the corrupted tree.

Upon getting close, it dealt a heavy blow to the last remaining piece of the heart in that huge hole.

Very effective.

Amidst the burst of silver light, the silver bricks fell heavily.

Suddenly, a large amount of black blood gushed out.

The corrupting tree couldn't hold on any longer. Before it died, it put on a show of dying strength, trying to turn over and be crushed by Xiao Yang.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yang easily dodged this last burst of energy.

Prompts for the God Game began to pop up.

Congratulations to the player for defeating the Corrupted Tree!

[Congratulations, player, for gaining experience...]

A large amount of experience points were credited to his account. Not far away, amidst a huge tremor, came the sound of the construct knight running on all fours.

The other side has spotted Xiao Yang's presence; it's almost there.

The harvest this time was already quite substantial, but Xiao Yang did not leave.

His heart was pounding, but he ignored the approaching rumbling sound and kept his gaze fixed on the corpse of the decaying tree in front of him.

Since you've decided to be greedy, then you might as well be a little greedy, and even more greedy.

Once you've gained experience, it's time to improve your equipment as well.

Xiao Yang waited.

He's been waiting!

"One legend, two epics."

For a moment, I felt a little disappointed. Taking such a risk only to get one legendary item and two epic items felt like a waste.

The construct knight has arrived.

Xiao Yang received the same treatment as the rotten tree, as a silver lance slammed into him.

Even though he disliked the equipment that dropped, Xiao Yang still immediately took it all.

The Dragon Hunter's armor was easily pierced, and even Xiao Yang's not-insignificant defense couldn't hold out.

However, Xiao Yang is still better than that corrupt tree; he came smaller and lighter.

The powerful blow sent him flying, which was exactly what he wanted and his true escape route.

It streaked across the sky, plummeted beyond the area, and passed over that invisible, rudimentary barrier.

The moment of flying in the sky.

Xiao Yang suddenly saw the little guy.

The little guy somehow escaped Xiao Yang's shadow and appeared beside the decaying tree.

To make matters worse, the construct knight noticed Little Bone, who was right beside it.

The thick lance was about to fall as it was being swung.

In that thrilling moment, Xiao Yang witnessed an even more outrageous scene, which made his eyes widen in astonishment.

Xiao Gu's figure blurred for a moment, appearing and disappearing again. Xiao Gu perfectly dodged this fatal blow.

Even at this moment, the lively flames in the little guy's eye sockets showed little fluctuation.

Reach out and grab it.

A golden object with seven colors appeared in Xiao Gu's hand.

After grabbing the clump of things, Xiao Gu's figure blurred and disappeared.

The MVP has emerged.

"Xiao Gu is the MVP!"
