There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 339, Wild Dog Trainer
"How many hours has it been?"

Five or six?

"I can't quite remember."

"These damned evil gods have really created a bunch of inhuman and ghostly things."

"It's disgusting."

"We can't stop any longer, it's getting dark."

"Find the treasure chest here quickly."

There's always something to gain.

"Wait, is there a treasure chest here?"

"The rules have changed."

"damn it!"

"Never mind, let's pick up the fallen items. We should be thrifty and manage our household well."

"Covered in blood, all wet."

"call……."

"How come there's another one here!"

"No matter how you look at it, these things are disgusting."

"That guy never stops."

"here we go again!"

"It's getting completely dark."

"We can't stop any longer."

"Why are these guys still charging at us?"

"So this is ah."

In the mountains, on a newly built checkpoint.

Countless corpses, wild dogs standing upright, clutching all sorts of things in their hands.

Rusty scimitars, cheap muskets, and figures dressed in crude leather armor, mimicking human appearances, swarmed together in a chaotic mass.

It looks quite professional, but in reality, it's full of all sorts of oddities.

During the battle, stimulated by the blood, many reverted to a complete wild dog state, haphazardly throwing away what they were holding and running wildly on all fours.

It seems that this is how they were originally.

But this appearance also carries an indescribable strangeness.

"They are no longer wild animals."

It's a wild beast, but it doesn't quite look like one anymore.

Both the sharp teeth and claws gradually molted.

It is in an intermediate stage.

No matter which side it leans towards, it's still a hybrid that doesn't quite fit into any particular category.

But it's not a big problem.

A crimson figure stands atop the checkpoint, atop piles of corpses.

Even when the world was shrouded in darkness, his presence remained unmistakable.

He raised the giant axe in his hand high; it was a reddish-black axe.

He stepped over countless corpses, over the corpses of countless incongruous creatures.

It seems impossible to defeat them no matter what.

Of course, he wasn't the only one.

A jet-black banner, carried on his back like a battle flag, appeared densely behind the Crimson Knight, with countless figures, each vaguely outlining a single shape, swarming around him.

The cheers and shouts were both for the war and for the carnage.

The figure became increasingly terrifying.

Its power and influence grew increasingly terrifying.

An unparalleled existence, yet it brings death.

The battle continues, continuing into the darkness.

These were wild dogs that no longer resembled wild dogs; their corpses almost filled the valley.

Xiao Yang felt his eyes were painfully dry.

He had just crawled out of a pool of blood.

There was a thick, sticky substance on his eyes; it looked like flesh, but it also looked like blood.

Or there's nothing at all, it's just too dry.

"It's so dry it hurts."

Blood vessels had unknowingly crept into my eyes.

The shouts behind me grew clearer and more frantic.

Since these stray dogs had become like people, they naturally possessed true souls. The soul banner was accumulating more and more souls.

But he didn't know if it was a good thing to let the Soul Banner absorb so many souls of humanoid monsters.

These souls are not so normal.

With their arrival, the goblins in the Soul Banner no longer seemed so normal.

Let's consider these things later.

"Stray dogs keep appearing."

Finally, that guy, that crazed beast, could no longer hold back.

A pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that seemed to occupy almost the entire space in front of him from the moment they appeared, a wild dog as huge as a mountain, appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

"A beast of plunder and occupation."

He finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She finally appeared before Xiao Yang.

Overall, it still feels somewhat illusory and hazy.

The dungeon rules are on the verge of collapse, but they still retain some effectiveness, and the more powerful the individual, the more effectively they are bound.

In Xiao Yang's observation, it was this wild beast that was the first to react to the changes in the world.

Xiao Yang was already prepared for his appearance.

A crude, silver hand crossbow appeared in his hand.

Not a drop of the thick, sticky blood on his hands touched the dented crossbow.

No further action was taken.

He crouched down, raised the crossbow, and pulled the trigger.

A silver arrow streaked across the sky.

The beast's painful howls echoed through the sky.

The silver branch sank deeply into one of the eyes of the beast of plunder and conquest.

The gods who had just appeared had not yet had a chance to demonstrate their power or do anything to Xiao Yang.

And so they fled in a sorry state once again.

From afar, Xiao Yang saw a pool of murky blood flowing from its eyes.

After the beasts of plunder and conquest fled in disarray.

The stray dogs that had been continuously surging into this area finally stopped.

Like a soulless shell, or a machine without instructions, it stood motionless in place.

Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

The countless hazy figures behind him were drawn back into the soul banner.

Ignoring the bewildered figures standing on the field, he simply collapsed amidst the pile of corpses.

The achievements started popping up.

[Legendary status increased by 5]

No more notifications popped up.

Xiao Yang's reaction to these pop-up notifications wasn't particularly dramatic.

Perhaps it was because he had been fighting tirelessly for a full day and night, or perhaps something more surprising and noteworthy had occurred.

Head up.

In the darkness and silence, the moon, hanging high in the sky and not tinged with crimson, carried a sense of gloom and death, much like the sun during the day.

Night has fallen once again over the Rotten Lands. Darkness descends, and everything should return to deathly silence, but now things have changed.

One by one, figures peered into the darkness, while another was briefly released into the sky to engage in lively discussions.

They disappeared.

"It's getting dark."

He slumped down on the pile of corpses.

Xiao Yang sighed helplessly.
