There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 400 Advancement
The long and drawn-out battle is finally coming to an end.

In the end, Xiao Yang successfully earned the title of "Ultimate Endurance King".

Unfortunately, this behavior did not bring him any new achievements.

Having successfully expelled the Abyss Sleeper and forced it to abandon its dream, Xiao Yang was finally able to make the final shaping of the evil god's dream before him.

The falling hammer made a crisp sound, like shattering a piece of glass.

The prototype of a long lamp gradually took shape in front of Xiao Yang.

It's not particularly refined in appearance, with a metal casing and an old-fashioned handle.

It's not very eye-catching, nor does it have that extremely luxurious feel.

"An ordinary lantern."

Just like the lamp that Xiao Yang saw on the long table when he first entered the Skull Dungeon.

Perhaps this is where his deepest impression of light lies.

Once all that's done, the rest is much simpler.

At least we no longer need to compete with an evil god to see who can outlast the other.

Xiao Yang carefully opened the protective cover of the lamp in front of him and took out an extremely dazzling fragment.

Place it in the center of the lantern, where the flame will soon ignite.

Then comes the final step.

Take the old friend out of your personal backpack.

Amidst the endless light and heat, the outer shell of the lantern seemed to be unable to bear the weight any longer.

A piercing creaking sound rang out.

Xiao Yang's gaze fell on the long lamp in front of him, and he murmured softly.

"Old friend, show me the way forward."

A soft whisper.

At that moment, the lantern seemed to understand, and its outer shell shattered.

A bright flame was held in Xiao Yang's palm.

"Hope is ignited by faith."

And so this arduous forging process came to an end.

A lantern radiating seven-colored light fell into Xiao Yang's hands.

Dawn Lamp

Quality: Mythical

Effect: Guides the way forward

Introduction: I will protect you.

The dawn lanterns are quite special.

The descriptions of divine artifacts in the game remain vague.

The final introduction brought a knowing smile to Xiao Yang's face.

I hold up the long lamp of dawn before me.

Further roles and abilities are all vague, and Xiao Yang can only explore them on his own.

The spiritual connection made the old friend more lively. Although he still didn't like to talk, Xiao Yang could feel joy and a unique warmth from him.

After making contact, I received the following message.

"Guiding the way forward in extraordinary times."

Isn't it obvious?

However, Xiao Yang trusted his old partner.

Give up thinking.

The most important thing right now is to get out of this scorching furnace.

………….

real world.

Xiao Yang returned here once again.

They returned in full force and glory, fully armed.

Dressed in scarlet slayer attire, carrying a dark slayer, wearing a silver crown, and clutching a silver whistle in his hand.
A small silver crossbow, ready to be fired, hung on his left waist, while an unremarkable waist lamp shone on his right. A dark blue battle flag fluttered in the wind behind him.

Such a display of luxury is the epitome of extravagance.

The sheer number of artifacts she wore alone was an astonishing five.

This outfit is so expensive that even the life of a god could probably be bought.

Anyone who takes one look at it will immediately say something like that.

"Big dog owner!"

Of course, such calls are mostly made in private.

On the bright side.

"A master! A god!"

Such cries are probably the most likely to occur.

"A cry from a poor player." To be fair, Xiao Yang isn't really the kind of pure rich player.

The entire outfit he was wearing was something he had painstakingly saved up for bit by bit.

"Have you ever seen the Rotten Land at three o'clock in the morning?!"

Such a righteous and eloquent statement.

"It's all due to individual effort and hard work!"

Of course, it is also possible to follow the previous sentence with such a declaration.

This time, I'm returning to the real world for only one purpose.

"Ascended to Legendary Status".

All preparations have been completed.

The place I returned to was still that familiar old house.

After being neglected for a while, it's covered in dust again.

Soon after, a breeze carrying the scent of lavender swept through every corner of the house.

He pulled off his mask and sat sprawled out on his old sofa.

Not far away, Xiao Gu stealthily emerged from the shadows.

The little guy appeared next to Xiao Yang and sat down on the sofa.

The flames of his soul flickered in his eyes, and the little guy still looked the same, with a bewildered curiosity about everything around him.

I turned my head and looked at this scene.

"I feel like I've seen this before."

With a sudden attack, they grabbed the little guy and expertly rubbed his head.

The promotion was scheduled for midnight.

That is, the point where time alternates.

A prompt from the Gods Game appeared.

[The ascension ceremony will begin in 00:12. Players, please prepare accordingly.]

Twelve minutes left.

Xiao Yang was not afraid of the upcoming advancement; he simply waited calmly.

After Xiao Yang rubbed her head repeatedly, Xiao Gu flashed and appeared in the shadows not far away.

The little guy stared at Xiao Yang with some wariness.

The flames of the soul in his eye sockets began to flicker violently.

Xiao Yang felt no remorse for his offensive behavior; instead, he laughed heartily, completely oblivious to the world around him.

To be fair.

The current Xiao Gu is no longer the skeleton thief she encountered with Xiao Yang.

Its combat power is not only not weak, but even very strong.

The little guy just used his ability.

It seems to be more than just ordinary shadow leaps; it's a highly proficient and even more powerful core skill of the Shadow Assassin: "Shadow Dodge."

Xiao Yang simply didn't notice this difference, nor did he pay attention to the changes in Xiao Gu's abilities.

This is also something that cannot be helped.

Compared to Xiao Yang's rocket-like leveling speed, Xiao Gu's growth is really not obvious.

He still treats the little guy like the skeleton thief he first met.

Suddenly, time passed.

Current time: 12:00

Upon reaching this boundary, Xiao Yang, who had been lying sprawled on the bed, vanished instantly.

His promotion ceremony began.

Xiao Gu lost sight of Xiao Yang in this sudden situation.

At that moment, Xiao Gu, who was originally far away from Xiao Yang, appeared in a flash at the spot where Xiao Yang had just been sitting.

But it never found Xiao Yang again.

Xiao Yang seemed to have entered a special latitude.

It can't be found.

The little skeleton froze at that moment.

At this moment, one could clearly discern an emotion from the little guy's actions and expression.

"disturbed."

It looks like an abandoned puppy.

In the end, the little guy didn't leave. He stayed where he was, and found the closest shadow to where Xiao Yang had disappeared. He quietly stopped and remained motionless, like a statue.

Just like before.

Standing quietly.

Quietly waiting for Xiao Yang's return.
