There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 302, The Gods' Advancers

The Dungeon Invaders, the most ruthless of bandits, did not disappoint Xiao Yang. The collapse of the dungeon was also counted as the completion of the raid.

Soon, three options appeared before Xiao Yang.

The Divinity of the Silver Tree

The divinity of the plague rat swarm

[Gift Box]

The time has come to make a choice.

The first option should be chosen. The divinity of the Silver Tree might be Xiao Yang's last chance to forge the Silver Crossbow, a god-slaying artifact.

You can recall the pitiful state of the Silver Tree you just saw.

Judging from the stories recorded on the stone slabs, the Silver Tree is not only not evil, but is even quite great.

At this point, adding a little more divinity to this ancient deity might become the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

It was inevitable that I hesitated a bit more.

Until the earth explorer's tail made another piercing sound.

A wildly surging root struck the tail of the Earth Explorer, and the massive magic-powered tunnel boring machine was once again in trouble.

He glanced at the dense roots behind him. Well, at least now was not the time for hesitation or doubt. He could pity the Silver Tree, but who could pity him?

If Silver Tree catches up with him, he'll probably be knocked out on the spot.

"select……."

Just as Xiao Yang was about to make a decision, a sudden, violent shaking occurred, and Xiao Yang, who was about to make a choice, lunged forward in the shaking.

An unexpected event occurred.

The scarlet notifications kept popping up one after another.

The scarlet countdown began its frantic leaps, starting from eight hours, then six hours, four hours, one hour, and half an hour.

[Warning, mission has changed!]

[Warning, mission has changed!]

[Warning, mission has changed!]

Three scarlet notifications popped up in a row.

The rising Earth Explorer was suddenly struck violently, and countless dark waves appeared before Xiao Yang.

In the dim light, Xiao Yang saw a giant rat, a huge rat crawling on the wall of this straight underground tunnel, with only half of its body and one head showing.

Undisguised malice emanated from the giant rat in front of them.

He wanted to kill Xiao Yang.

This is a plague rat swarm that is about to succeed.

Its transformation and ritual were not completely successful; the main head still had a huge, bloody wound on its edge, with flesh still writhing.

A smaller version of the giant rat's head was vaguely taking shape at the location of the wound.

Swarms of rats rained down on the returning Earth Explorers.

The Earth Explorers kept reporting errors.

Such a change occurred in a very short period of time.

Clearly, the plague rat swarm, which was almost finished with the ritual, was getting impatient and was trying to send the Silver Tree and Xiao Yang, this strange guy of unknown origin, to heaven together first.

Compared to being interrupted by an enemy suddenly appearing at the most important moment of the ceremony, it is definitely safest to deal with the enemy first before going through that most important moment.

This should be considered a correct, even wise, decision.

But then he ran into Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's decision, which was almost made immediately, changed in an instant.

"the second!"

He shouted out his choice through gritted teeth. His choice was incredibly powerful at certain moments.

"Just like now."

The dungeon raider, a complete bandit, began his looting. In an instant, a divine essence with a hazy golden glow appeared in Xiao Yang's hand.

The dungeon raiders seem to have stumbled upon a rare find.

The mere thought of holding this divine power in his hand unconsciously surfaced in Xiao Yang's mind.

【Dominator】

It is not just a divine essence; it also contains a considerable amount of authority.

This divinity was extremely important to the plague rats. After losing it, flesh and blood rapidly gushed from the gap in His neck, turning into a tumor and a rat's head.

The newly grown rat head, upon completing its formation, attacked itself almost without hesitation, frantically tearing at the head that sat in the main position.

Painful howls echoed through the dark passage, accompanied by angry and terrified cries.

"what have you done!"

The Plague Rats didn't quite understand the power that the Dungeon Invader represented. They didn't understand why a part of their power had suddenly disappeared, which filled them with fear.

Another head grew out of the body.

Its rituals are crumbling.

"No, no, give it back to me, give it back to me!"

Give it back to me, and I can give you other things, I can give you more!

Now the sounds of the plague rat swarm are no longer so chaotic, only one remains, but this change has also caused this guy to lose some of his manic energy.

The Gods' Game's summary of the plague rat swarm is very apt.

"A bunch of rats! No, now there's only one rat left! A damned rat!"

Among the shaking earth explorers, looking up, they see rats falling one after another; looking down, they see a terrifying swarm of roots rushing towards them.

A painting of hell.

"It's not a big problem."

He held the divine object containing the concept of domination high in his hand.

"Give it to me, give it to me, give it back to me! Don't you want more?!"

The incoherent and rambling words reached Xiao Yang's ears and entered his mind, but he remained completely unmoved.

"Fuck you, you evil god!"

This resounding roar was Xiao Yang's final answer.

A hazy, illusory figure appeared on Xiao Yang's body, and a tall, slender arm took the divine essence from Xiao Yang's hand.

The plague rats roared like madmen at that moment, and the Earth Advancers were almost torn to shreds in an instant. Xiao Yang did not die with the Earth Advancers; he used his divine self to protect himself.

With just a slight sway of her slender arms, she deflected that deadly force.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yang only made his move for a brief moment.

Free fall has begun.

They fell along with the fragments of the Earth Marcher, which disintegrated into pieces and burning fireballs.

At such a dangerous juncture, if he continued to fall, he would soon be swallowed up by the surging roots and silver thorns.

Xiao Yang twisted his body in the air. Fortunately, the Earth Advancer disintegrated at a depth between two and four thousand meters underground.

They were on that underground battlefield, which was filled with interconnected passages and cave entrances.

It streaked across the sky and plunged into a passageway opened in the wall of a dark cave. After several tumbles, it got up covered in dust and dirt, and then hurriedly ran away as fast as it could.

Be brave when you need to be, and after you're brave, you need to run fast enough, or you really will get killed.

The figure quickly disappeared into the vast, interconnected battlefield deep underground.
