There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 299, The Silver Tree's Refusal

However, immediately after making that statement, he got stuck on another important part of the silver crossbow forging process.

Having obtained the most important materials and successfully taken up the blacksmithing profession, Xiao Yang had already met two-thirds of the requirements for forging the Silver Crossbow. Logically speaking, this matter should have been more than half successful.

The difficulty lies in the last third of the silver crossbow's forging requirements.

"The creation of the Silver Crossbow requires the blessing of the Silver Tree."

This is reasonable; divine artifacts, their creation and appearance must be closely related to the gods.

Moreover, if the Silver Tree knew that Xiao Yang was going to forge the Silver Crossbow to deal with the plague rats, it would surely generously offer its blessings and power.

"Probably?"

The idea is wonderful, but we have to face a real problem.

The Silver Tree is currently in a very bad state; it's frantic and dangerous, making it difficult to determine whether it can truly communicate effectively.

In some ways, the Silver Tree might be more dangerous than the plague rats who seemed hesitant about it because of the Pale Hand Mark.

How can one receive blessings in such a situation?

After a long silence, no proper answer was reached.

He didn't know; he had no idea how to obtain the proper Silver Tree Blessing.

Perhaps we should try some unorthodox methods.

If the normal methods don't work and you can't get this blessing, then you have to rely on dungeon raiders to steal it!
Bell Tower City is a large dungeon. If it is a dungeon, then completely clearing it means being able to release the dungeon invader, that unscrupulous bandit.

"Not receiving a blessing is no different from manually casting some divinity upon it!"

Xiao Yang gritted his teeth and said this fiercely at this moment.

"I'm definitely having this silver crossbow made!"

He said it so harshly, but whether things would really go so smoothly remained to be seen.

There's no better solution right now.

"Let's continue downwards."

The matter has once again come back to the large dungeon of Clock Tower City itself, and the issue of how to conquer it.

He found the path that led him further down.

Not far in front of them, a grotesque underground fissure appeared.

If you go any further down, that should be the location of the real Silver Thorn.

Before you go down, there's one thing you shouldn't forget to do.

First, he collected the contaminated silver fragment. Xiao Yang did not follow the instructions of the Divine Game to destroy the silver fragment.

It should still have some effect.

Then, his gaze fell upon the half of the plague rat swarm in front of him, which had been disemboweled and was completely dead, without making a single movement.

The giant rat had been dead for some time, but fortunately it hadn't rotted much, and a considerable amount of its power remained.

It wasn't that fresh, but it was still somewhat edible.

The hazy, illusory shadow overlapped with Xiao Yang.

The time to feast has come.

Although it wasn't fresh, it was indeed the most lavish meal Xiao Yang had ever eaten.

Both the Devourer of Evil Gods and the Vanguard of Glimmer gained a significant boost in experience.

[Evil God Devourer: 29]

[Glimmer Advancer: 19]

The Evil God Devourer's class level is almost catching up with Xiao Yang's personal level. Xiao Yang is very curious whether there will be any new changes when the Evil God Devourer's class level surpasses his personal level.

The Glimmer Advancers' class level has fallen far behind, dropping by a full ten levels. This is not a good sign, but there is no better way to deal with it.

However, there was some good news as well.

Both the Devourer of Evil Gods and the Vanguard of Glimmer are only one level away from being able to choose one of the three. That's progressing quite quickly.

"If it weren't a long-dead corpse, but a real, living half-god of evil, the power-up would probably be even greater!"

After consuming the food, he came to his senses in a daze.

But somehow, this thought suddenly appeared.

It seems that the consequences of the widening gap between the Devourer of Evil Gods and the Advancers of Glimmer have already appeared.

More chaotic, greedy, and confused thoughts.

Fortunately, the gap between the two professions has not yet widened to that extent.

Xiao Yang quickly realized that he was thinking unrealistically, and shook his head to dispel this rather unrealistic and greedy thought.

He had accumulated four points in his Glimmer skill, but hadn't decided which skill to use them on. He decided to just save them, since he was only one level away from level 20. He would save them for his third Glimmer skill and max it out in one go.

This is also pretty good.

After doing all this, Xiao Yang continued downwards, toward the crack in front of him that led to a deeper underground.

above the ground.

The simple tower is almost completely finished.

The unfinished silver dragon ultimately failed to defeat the rat rider, becoming a torn mess that was discarded aside.

Despite his weakened state, the rat-tamer did not enter the underground cave to pursue Xiao Yang, but instead raised his head with burning eyes.

As time goes by, occasionally, a bell will suddenly ring out.

The sound of the bell wasn't particularly auspicious; it was a death knell.

Each toll of the bell signifies the defeat of yet another part of the plague rat swarm in an invisible battle.

Even though it was an unlucky omen, the ringing of the bell still filled the rat-tamer with unparalleled excitement.

Seven heads, six heads, five heads, three heads.

Xiao Yang's time is running out. The plague rat swarm is about to succeed, and He will soon determine the true one.

underground.

The countdown is ticking away, making people anxious and wanting to hurry up.

Until Xiao Yang actually arrived in front of the Silver Tree.

The Silver Tree was not in good condition; it was withered, covered in wounds, with broken branches and dense, intertwined roots that wrapped itself up.

It's a self-protective posture, just like a human being.

In this state, Xiao Yang couldn't even get close to the Silver Tree.

When he arrived at the Silver Tree, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

But now, one thing has been confirmed: I really won't get a single bit of help.

But the countdown continues.

There are only 24 hours left. No matter what you want to do, this time is very limited. Although I made some grand promises before, clearing a large dungeon is not that simple.

It is certain that the Silver Tree is indeed one of the core elements of this large dungeon, and it is indeed possible to obtain the opportunity to clear the dungeon from it.

but now.

"The Silver Tree has rejected you."

Whispering softly.

In silence, Xiao Yang began to ponder once again; he was not prepared to give up so easily.

"Think again, think again, think about what else we can do."

This is very important.
