There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 276, Level 30
Experience gradually increases, bringing you closer and closer to that limit.

In this damned, rotten, absurd world.

In this equally damned, stinking, conspiracy-ridden city.

Xiao Yang's excitement grew.

In order to make the most of this last bit of experience, he ultimately chose to take action against the corrupt residents.

There's no way around it; these are the guys who gather the most densely and in the largest numbers.

Today, Xiao Yang finally understood what these guys were transforming into.

It hunched over, its face became sharp, sharp claws emerged from its hands, its body was covered in black fur, and a tail grew out.

All of this is quite clear: these creatures are transforming into a giant rat.

Or a mouse standing upright?

Not only that, but also today, a deeper change has occurred: the huge silver church in the center of Clock Tower City, the silver church that represented the wishful faith of the residents of Clock Tower City, collapsed with a roar today.

Such commotion naturally attracted Xiao Yang's attention.

On the ruins, a new building is taking shape.

Xiao Yang saw a guy playing the flute.

Dressed in a jet-black robe, with an exaggerated yet eerie smile on his face, he played a cheerful tune on his flute, and giant rats, the same kind seen outside the Bell Tower City, swarmed out from every crevice of the Silver Church.

Such a scene is truly difficult to evaluate.

What's even more difficult to assess is this guy's strength.

Xiao Yang seemed to be somewhat familiar with him. After a brief moment of thought, he realized that he had connected him with the ruins outside the Bell Tower City.

The ruins of that town, inextricably linked to the plague rats and a plague rat messenger, a place where secrets and doomsday prophecies are buried.

The detection technique confirmed Xiao Yang's ominous thought, and the information obtained was almost entirely question marks, even his name.

Legend has it, a very strange legend, unlike that of the rotten tree spirit.

No, we should give these messengers in the hands of evil gods a different name: messengers.

Not far in front of Xiao Yang, a messenger of an evil god stood tall.

The two locked eyes at that moment.

It probably wouldn't be too difficult for the other side to crush him. Fortunately, the Bell Tower City has been completely turned into a dungeon.

The dungeon rules apply to evil gods, their followers, and dungeon monsters, but Xiao Yang, a genuine and authentic player of the God game, is not subject to these rules.

The dungeon rules saved Xiao Yang's life.

The two were separated by that area, which restricted their eye contact.

She smiled broadly at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang did not respond to this, but simply turned and left.

These suddenly appearing, jet-black rats seem to be building a bell tower from the ruins of the Silver Church.

The plague rats have won another move in this contest.

I wonder if the Silver Tree can hold on.

No, that's not right. Xiao Yang paused here, suddenly remembering something.

In some ways, what he needs is not the same as what the Silver Tree needs.

"He needs this land."

It's hard to say whether he and Silver Tree are on the same path.

This is a very reasonable demand, at least Xiao Yang feels that his demand is particularly reasonable.

The great dungeon king was simply taking what was rightfully his.

“A dungeon, the heart of a large dungeon.”

Just like the place where it all began.

Although this damned world is rotten, thankfully it's not completely rotten yet. At least the dungeon rules, which have replaced the reins that bind the evil gods in the increasingly decadent world will, are still playing their most important role.

Bind the evil god.

Without the dungeon rules, Xiao Yang would have exploded on the spot right now.

They were killed on the spot by the evil gods one by one.

Before him stood the messenger of the evil god.

Let's focus on what we can do first.

"More experience, more experience!"

Just as a lord has difficulty challenging an epic, and an epic has difficulty challenging a legendary, a lord is even more unable to contend with a legendary.

Wielding his rusty giant axe, each strike sent hordes of the already rat-like, corrupted inhabitants collapsing.

As Xiao Yang carried out his killing spree, he also cautiously glanced around.

The destruction of the Holy Sword is almost certainly the work of the Plague Rat swarm, or perhaps the messenger. Without him, Xiao Yang's leveling up has become less smooth.

But it's not a big problem. If there's no way, we have to create a way. Even if we can't force it, we still have to find a way to force it.

Xiao Yang ultimately chose to force himself on the corrupt residents of Bell Tower City.

If there's any sign of trouble, running away immediately is a good option.

This clock tower city is so big, there's bound to be something to gain.

The Devourer of Evil Gods has reached level twenty-two.

The Glimmer Advancer has reached level sixteen.

A question arises: after mastering the three skills "Glimmer," which skill should you invest those precious "Glimmer" skill points into next?
I was a little unsure for a moment.

Forget it, let's postpone it for now. There's something more important to do right now.

On the chaotic street, a swarm of creatures resembling giant, upright rats surged toward Xiao Yang.

These corrupt residents are still a little short of transformation.

In terms of wisdom or soul, his eyes are dull and empty, and even if a flash of inspiration occasionally appears, it is quickly suppressed.

It seems that the rules of the dungeon are involved here. Of course, Xiao Yang couldn't actually give a definite answer to this speculation.

This speculation is largely based on intuition.

Faced with a massive horde of corrupt residents rushing towards them.

"No matter how you look at it, these guys are more like dungeon monsters!"

His experience points gradually increased, but it was a pity that he only encountered some of those high-level experience chest monsters yesterday, and then none more.

Without stopping, a large number of corrupted residents soon fell in front of Xiao Yang.

Instead of indulging in food, every step we take now is under the premise of making the most of every moment.

Among these corrupt residents, Xiao Yang found some special individuals and used a detection spell on them.

Plague-infected rats

The result was this vague name.

Not far away, a corrupted tree bursts forth from the corrupted inhabitants it parasitizes, and the super assembly begins.

Xiao Yang's gaze fell on this guy.

The rotten tree is already charging towards Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's hands continued moving, but his body became even more tense.

"Come on, come on!"

He kept muttering to himself.

How much experience do we still need?

The countdown has begun.

"Ten thousand, eight thousand, seven thousand, five thousand, two thousand, one thousand, eight hundred, five hundred, one hundred!"

It was at this time that the corrupt trees arrived, and not just one, but several at once.

There was no time to waste. He couldn't worry about the little bit of experience he was missing. Xiao Yang abandoned the experience packs that were still pouring towards him and fled in panic.

Amidst the chaos, a frantic sprint ensued.

Xiao Yang fled for quite a long distance before finally shaking off the guys behind him.

When I breathed a sigh of relief again, I was already in the sewer.

I'm still a little short on experience, just a tiny bit short!

This tiny gap caused Xiao Yang's obsessive-compulsive disorder to flare up.

For a moment, he scratched his head and ears like a monkey with lice on its body.

Suddenly, he sensed a subtle sense of unease and something unusual about his surroundings.

Suddenly, his scratching stopped, and he lowered his head, staring intently at a seemingly ordinary sewer area.

Although Xiao Yang didn't have the cheating abilities of those cultivators with their spiritual senses, his spirit was higher and his soul stronger, so the results he achieved were still somewhat similar to those of those cultivators.

He took a step forward, his gaze fixed on the seemingly unremarkable empty space in the sewer.

We've gone halfway.

Suddenly, he stopped walking.

"I must be imagining things. There's clearly no one here."

He immediately turned around and prepared to leave.

Xiao Yang's intuition was correct; his powerful mental strength gave him considerable accuracy.

There is a person hiding here, a person who holds their breath and dares not move.

He was one of the demonic cultivators who survived yesterday.

He was still injured, with a gruesome gash clearly visible on his abdomen; Xiao Yang had almost cut him in half yesterday.

Injured, he dared not reunite with his companions and hid in the stinking sewers, barely surviving. The moment Xiao Yang took a step towards him, he was almost scared to death.

He withdrew his spiritual sense and held his breath. The way he faced Xiao Yang at this moment was just like those mortals who had faced him before.

In sight, Xiao Yang's figure slowly disappeared into the sewer and vanished without a trace.

I breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled, and that was at that moment.

A pair of scarlet eyes slowly peeked out from behind the corner of the sewer.

He was lying; Xiao Yang didn't leave.

His lips curled into a wide grin, and his words carried an indescribable excitement.

"I found you!"

At this moment, the demonic player who held the title of "Bone Demon Child" in his own world completely broke down.

Having abandoned his concealment techniques and illusion arrays, he dragged his weakened body and threw his natal treasure, a blue natal equipment that was about to be upgraded to the epic rank, towards Xiao Yang, and then frantically tried to escape.

This exquisite blue skeleton cage is the origin of its name, as it is made up of a large number of fresh bones.

In an instant, it was smashed to pieces by Xiao Yang.

Not long after, Xiao Yang beheaded a terrified man.

Accompanied by prompts from the Gods Game.

[Congratulations to the player for completing a bloody defeat and gaining experience.]

Congratulations on your level increase!

Current player level: 30

Finally, after all this effort, his level has finally increased.

Although epic rank is still not the ultimate pinnacle in Bell Tower City, at least now Xiao Yang won't be in such a sorry state when facing those messy guys and those bizarre, twisted trees.

At that moment, an irrepressible smile of joy appeared on his face.

Level 30!

Xiao Yang's words were filled with barely concealed excitement.
