There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 277, Before Advancing

The King of the Dungeons returned once again to his beloved homeland.

Advancing requires returning to your own plane.

Xiao Yang wasn't very prepared for the challenge of advancing to the Epic rank; all he had was the Lantern of Hope at his waist.

Time is of the essence, and there is no room for further preparation.

Let's do it this way.

To reiterate, if even Xiao Yang's impressive stats can't get him to this level, then who is qualified?

In this trial of advancement, the part Xiao Yang was least confident about was the possibility of the Pale Hand spying on him.

Just like the first and second time I encountered it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang sighed.

However, he couldn't avoid it; he was indeed too involved with the Pale Hand.

Take off your suit.

The upgrade application has been submitted.

The game "Gods" provides a 24-hour countdown.

During this time, Xiao Yang was instructed not to wander off.

Since that's the case, I might as well just stay home obediently.

With the lavender sachet in hand, and the cleaning technique activated, the dust in the old house was thoroughly cleaned.

There are many things to deal with.

First, there's the upgrade of equipment through killing, then there's the loading of magical runes and bloodlines, and methods for concealing player information.

"Once we get back, we can start cleaning up those epics."

Xiao Yang is very vengeful.

Rotten Commander, Silver Moon Skeleton, Corrupted Tree, Quadruped Construct Knight.

After this upgrade, he'll be able to shower these guys with gold coins when he gets back!
Upgrading your equipment through kills isn't a big problem; just kill a few more enemies and everything will go smoothly.

Another issue is the loading of the magic rune bloodline. After careful consideration, Xiao Yang still had some hesitation and concerns about loading the bloodline.

The damage to the body and soul is secondary; the real fear is that the loading time will be too long and delay their advancement.

Let's save it for after this upgrade.

Although the description suggests that this thing probably won't have any particularly serious side effects, it's common knowledge that you can only believe half of the panel prompts given by God's Game.

It's safest to wait until the upgrade is complete.

Finally, there's the method of hiding player information, which is the least possible; we can only wait for a response from the Holy Light expert.

We should focus more on the Clock Tower City issue going forward.

An unexpected turn of events occurred; Xiao Yang sensed that the plague rat swarm was about to make a major move.

We can't let the land we've chosen be taken away.

He is the King of the Dungeon. Although he bestowed this title upon himself, it represents that Xiao Yang has a natural right to claim all dungeons.

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt an urge to work my liver out again.

However, the process of advancing to the next level should not be rushed.

Xiao Yang turned on the TV.

Not knowing how to relax, I simply do what my grandfather used to do: turn on the TV and sit on the sofa.

He was momentarily stunned.

Twenty-four hours felt inexplicably difficult to endure.

Ever since he entered the Rotten Lands and started grinding like crazy, the old house has lost all its vitality. I guess the aunties and uncles in the village all think he can't stand the countryside and has gone back.

However, it's good that he has such thoughts, as Xiao Yang is indeed in a somewhat shameful situation right now.

In a daze, Xiao Gu suddenly appeared beside him, and the little guy climbed onto the sofa.

On television, a news report is playing about some animals exhibiting unusual behavior.

A new type of rabies virus has recently spread among wild animals, and infected animals are showing a significant increase in aggression and a tendency to grow larger.

However, residents are urged not to panic. This new type of rabies virus does not have the ability to spread to humans. If you encounter an infected animal, please call the rescue hotline as soon as possible. Professionals will arrive quickly to handle the situation. Now, here's another piece of good news.

my country's independently developed world-class...

At this point, Xiao Yang's attention was drawn to him.

"New fighter jets? Well done!"

Xiao Yang was delighted upon hearing the news.

Although he could easily control the world on his own to some extent, he had no desire to do so.

In order to preserve something.

For example, right now, in this old house, leaning back in the sofa chair, with the TV on, I still feel happy when I hear good news.

It's as if I've never changed.

But in reality, Xiao Yang has now grown to be over two meters tall, with a slender figure, a hint of dark blue in his eyes, and terrifyingly pale skin.

For ordinary people, Xiao Yang's slightest smile would likely have an effect akin to a soul-stealing spell.

Sometimes, the most important thing about staying rational is deceiving yourself.

At least at this moment, Xiao Yang's joy was quite genuine.

However, suddenly, Xiao Yang seemed to discover a blind spot, or rather, he finally noticed a blind spot.

"Little Bone, why are you out here?"

He remembered that he hadn't been using spirit coins to renew his real-world subscription.

Just as Xiao Yang was wondering about this.

On the hill behind his house, a lame stray dog ​​was devouring an unusually large squirrel.

Normally, an ordinary squirrel is no larger than the size of a palm, but this squirrel being torn apart by a lame wild dog is larger than that, about the size of a basketball.

Clearly, it must have been something unusual, and with that unusual quality, it shouldn't have ended up being torn apart by ordinary stray dogs.

Very strange.

Soon after, the lame wild dog that devoured the squirrel seemed to have inherited some kind of mutation that had occurred in the giant squirrel.

The body began to swell.

This change brought forth that sharp howl.

Soon after, the mystery was solved.

Why did that unusual big squirrel die because of this lame wild dog?

The transformation was complete, and the lame stray dog ​​was able to see.

Suddenly its eyes widened, its body stiffened, and in unparalleled terror, the wild dog that had just become unusual collapsed abruptly, its body quickly stiffening and dying instantly.

What did it see?
unknown.

At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yang was interrupted from his daze by a howl.

"Whose dog is barking in broad daylight!"

Time passed slowly, and while Xiao Yang was lost in thought, his bloodshot eyes recovered somewhat, and his condition improved considerably.

The closer Xiao Yang got to his third breakthrough, the more curious he became about what kind of test his third breakthrough would present.

Is it about the spirit, or about presenting a powerful enemy, or about doing something?

The question is about to appear.

The Gods game has started displaying a notification.

[The theme for the advancement test has been confirmed: Slaying the Dragon]

Xiao Yang saw the question.

Fortunately, for Xiao Yang, the combat test was undoubtedly the simplest and most convenient test.

Just as he was preparing to begin his exciting battle...

Suddenly, the theme of the advancement test changed.

[An unexpected event has occurred, and the theme of the advancement test has changed. The current theme is: Defend the World!]
