There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 345, Mocking Falsehood

After he said this, there was a brief silence. The huge wild dog beside him barked and tried to hang on Xiao Yang's head, but he held it down.

Regarding Xiao Yang's words.

The short man raised his head.

Stubborn, even obsessive, rejection.

Xiao Yang was rejected.

"It's not surprising that this happened."

An even bigger scene unfolded.

A shattered sky, a vanished town, and a beast of plunder and conquest crawling on the ground with a hideous, gaping wound on its chest.

And there was that little guy kneeling before a scarlet crystal.

At that moment, the residents of the town all transformed into the stray dogs that stood upright, launching a frenzied attack on Xiao Yang.

He easily tore a stray dog ​​that pounced on him in two.

"The level of happiness can no longer be maintained."

Xiao Yang is about to be kicked out again.

The gaze finally settled on the small figure kneeling before the crimson crystal.

They appeared once again in front of the valley.

This attempt to conquer the valley failed again, and once again they faced the strange fog outside the valley.

Xiao Yang was not annoyed.

Instead of immediately and recklessly advancing into the dungeon in front of him, he paused, pondering a question.

Regarding the fog in front of us.

Suddenly, Xiao Yang thought of something, squatted down, reached his hand into the hazy mist in front of him, and reached for the ground.

Cool to the touch.

"A handful of snow."

Xiao Yang grabbed a handful of snow.

Looking at the handful of snow in my hand, suddenly many things became clear.

First of all.

"The horrific disaster has brought the world order to a standstill."

This collapse affected the small town nestled deep in the mountains.

Finally, the beasts of plunder and conquest arrive.

There's still something missing.

"Fortunately, this small town, located in a remote area, was not affected by that terrible disaster."

But unfortunately...

"The resources that the town depends on for survival are imported from the outside world."

On the day of the harvest festival, merchants from outside would bring enough supplies to exchange for herbs and furs produced in the mountains.

But now, during the harvest festival, nothing will come of it.

At last.

"The heavy snow has fallen."

I gaze at the handful of snowflakes in my hand that have not yet melted.

"The once harmonious town was trapped in the mountains by heavy snow due to a lack of resources and food. The mayor also had connections with bandits in the mountains."

With all these factors piled up, it's almost impossible to guess what will happen next.

"But that's not enough."

If that's the case, this place will probably just be an ordinary town destroyed after the disaster.

Moreover, due to its location, Happiness Town will likely be the most ordinary and neglected of the many things destroyed.

"So some unexpected things happened."

Hunger and fear, coupled with the watchful eyes of outsiders, combine to create the perfect breeding ground for evil gods.

"The beasts of plunder and conquest have arrived."

However, his condition does not seem to be very good.

Was it attacked during that long-ago catastrophe?

This injury has persisted to this day.

Xiao Yang went through these matters one by one.

The story is becoming clearer.

"The beasts that plunder and seize are not enough."

“Something else happened, otherwise this place would just be an ordinary dungeon, instead of becoming as active as it is now.”

One idea after another began to pop into my head.

"This town was founded by a druid."

"Spiritual bloodline?"

"Or is it related to the beast of plunder and conquest itself?"

"Something has restrained the beast of plunder and plunder."

Here, I've hit another roadblock.

I understand 90% of it. But I'm stuck on the remaining 10%.

The problem is not big.

The missing piece can be obtained from the most important core of this dungeon, from that little guy.

Another journey begins.

He strode into the large dungeon before him.

It appeared once again on that desolate mountain ridge.

This time, the dungeon seemed unusually unwelcoming to his arrival.

We will no longer continue with that endless cycle of role-playing.

As he entered, one after another, wild dogs standing upright appeared before him.

It seemed they had been waiting for Xiao Yang here all along.

for such a situation.

He remained calm.

"Whatever exactly happened here, what is being maintained right now is just a lie, a huge lie."

Realizing this, Xiao Yang's attributes began to decline.

He drank two bowls of delicious soup.

It brought about five points of spiritual growth.

Now, all those spirits that had brought about growth have fallen back.

It's not surprising; it's simply a matter of seeing the truth.

"That delicious soup was absolutely awful."

Facing the monsters surging towards him, Xiao Yang took out a strange item from his personal backpack.

A very special mask.

A mask with two faces.

The two faces were combined, both maintaining that strange smile.

This is a very special and rare item that Xiao Yang obtained from Zhongta City.

It is also a very suitable prop for this occasion.

Sharp mockery behind one's back
Quality: Legend

Type: Strange Object

Limited to: once

Effect: Perform a fraud.

Introduction: I've only ever planned one scam in my life, but this time, I successfully fooled the gods.

A strange mask was worn on the face.

Xiao Yang's deep voice took on a strange, mocking quality after passing through the mask.

This is a peculiar artifact born from lies, but today, Xiao Yang is going to use it to lock onto the truth.

A mocking remark was made.

"Now, everything that is happening here has become the real thing."

This sentence appeared.

Rare objects are truly a very special kind of thing.

The operation of the dungeon rules experienced brief pauses.

The damn happiness rule has been abolished.

The world before me is crumbling inch by inch.

Xiao Yang's equipment was restored to his hands one piece at a time.

Before them appeared the beast of plunder and conquest.

Weak and prostrate among the mountains.

A desolate town, with only ruins remaining, appeared before Xiao Yang.

All of this comes at a price.

Fine cracks have appeared on the double-headed mask on Xiao Yang's face.

"It's time to hurry up."

He murmured like that.

These people in front of him were like wild dogs, almost lunging at Xiao Yang's face.

But no problem.

After the happiness system and equipment shielding mechanism were temporarily taken offline.

Xiao Yang was finally able to spend a little more lavishly.

A huge, dark red axe appeared in his hand.

To be honest, he had long been very annoyed with these guys.

His voice was low and menacing as his crimson eyes fell upon the monsters before him.

He raised the giant axe in his hand high.

"They're just things that can be easily killed."
