There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 537, Heroic Warriors

Chewing on a mint candy, Xiao Yang finally incorporated these stubborn individuals into the banner of heroes.

finally.

Xiao Yang left the newly acquired artifact, the Banner of Heroes, in the Heroes' Cemetery of Hope City as a special urban structure.

The cultivation of heroic spirits in the City of Hope has begun.

Xiao Yang ordered that the banner of heroic spirits must not restrict the heroic spirits conceived within it.

The most important thing.

"These heroic spirits should still have the right to choose their own resting place."

At the same time, it serves as a warning.

Xiao Yang opened his mouth and took a big bite out of the artifact.

In other words, my current condition is not very good.

Otherwise, Xiao Yang would definitely give this strange flag a special performance.

But enough is enough.

Xiao Yang left a tooth mark on the flagpole that he could never erase.

Using the teeth marks as a starting point, Xiao Yang used the Silver Crossbow to physically strike the banner of heroes.

Amidst the banging noises.

They were intimidating him.

"What if something unexpected happens!"

"as a result of!"

The banner of heroes has become obedient.

Soon after, a batch of full-body armor with magical runes, ordered in the name of the City of Hope management organization, was delivered deep into the Heroes' Graveyard.

One dark night.

With the arrival of a naive soul, the first Heroic Spirit was born in the City of Hope.

A second group of natives, besides the skeletons who were driven into the dungeon, has appeared in the Heroes' Graveyard.

Xiao Yang ignored these guys.

Some restrictions have remained.

First, Xiao Yang forbade them from meeting the living directly.

However, at certain times each year, they can meet in dreams through the connection of the goddess of rest.

Secondly, they are not under Xiao Yang's jurisdiction, nor even under the banner of heroes, but are managed by the City of Hope's urban management agency.

At last.

"Let's get to work!"

………….

these days.

New players in City of Hope feel like the sky is falling.

The sewer monster cleanup bounty, which was almost a permanent quest, was somehow canceled.

This is the simplest way for them to transition in the early stages and incidentally accumulate their first pot of gold.

Other beginner tasks either involve gruelingly joining a transport team, where you'd be working like an ox or a horse, running around in the wilderness for one or two months at a time.

Or you could go down into the underground mines to hunt rats.

It was pitch black, and they didn't make a sound when you hit them.

Moreover, the sewer cleaning mission is also a good place for some casual players to collect materials and earn some takeout money on the side.

This small change caused a wave of lamentations among novice players and some casual gamers who were leaving the game.

In this situation, some players made their move.

Nighttime, the entrance to the sewer system in the industrial zone.

Several players met here.

"I think something special must have happened for this to happen!"

"It might be a hidden quest!"

The player leading the group waved his arms and made this assertion with great confidence.

During this process of dissemination.

Just then, a clanging sound rang out from deep within the entrance.

"Quick! Follow up!"

The group of players rushed into the sewer in front of them.

Honestly, the sewers in this industrial area are not a place where just anyone can stay.

"Wastewater, pollution, toxic substances, mutated rats and highly toxic slimes."

All these things combined make it a cesspool within a cesspool.

However, those noble mages still have a constant demand for the gel containing mutated rats and highly toxic slimes, coupled with the unlimited cleanup missions that the City of Hope's Municipal Administration Bureau regularly undertakes.

The industrial sewers have become a challenging yet highly rewarding dungeon for players in the City of Hope's receding tide.

Following the tinkling sound.

As they got closer, the players became more cautious, bending down and carefully approaching little by little.

They're not stupid; they wouldn't just go up and offer you food voluntarily.

Even the most excited leader became cautious at this moment.

Approach cautiously.

"Let me take a look!"

In the sewer, amidst the murky, oily film on the surface of the sewage, ripples suddenly appeared from ahead. A panicked, yellowish-brown slime materialized before them.

Suddenly, it was smashed to pieces by a metal fist.

A figure in black, clad in full-body magic-patterned armor, suddenly appeared before them.

He noticed these players who had sneaked over.

At this moment, all the players' bodies tensed up.

The black figure drew closer little by little.

The guy in the lead swallowed hard.

Finally, the tall, steel figure stood before me.

Raise your head and look up at the other person.

On the helmet, two flames were faintly visible around the eyes.

At that moment, I swallowed hard.

Suddenly.

"hello!"

The tall, steel figure greeted them happily.

Another steel figure appeared.

"Come here quickly, we can't talk to the living!"

"I forgot, I forgot, I'm here!"

And so, to the stunned gazes of the players, these two obviously formidable individuals vanished into the depths of the sewers.

Shortly after.

A tearful and accusatory post appeared on the Tide Game Forum.

"Look at these guys! Their armor alone is worth at least a thousand Hope Coins!"

"Aren't they human beings?!"

"They're actually competing with us newbie players for the rats and slimes in the sewers!"

“He’s not a human!”

Well, Xiao Yang might have deceived these heroic spirits.

In reality, the sewers of Hope City do not require them to be on duty around the clock.

Initially, keeping these rat slimes and giant bats was just a routine task that Xiao Yang assigned to these new players.

………….

In an ordinary village.

A beautiful courtyard.

Three brick and tile houses.

The courtyard was kept spotless.

This must be a family that lives a fairly good life.

But today, the low sobs never stopped.

News of the victory spread like wildfire as the wounded soldiers returned.

In that joy, excitement, and fervor.

The list of the dead was also circulated.

A dark figure appeared in the courtyard at some unknown time.

He stood quietly in the darkness, watching the room where the lights had come on, and listened to the sound of sobbing.

Watching quietly.

Until yet another figure appeared.

“We’re already dead, kid.”

"I know."

"Give us a little more time, Captain."

"I'll go back with you after I finish feeding the cows."

Done.

The figure tiptoed toward the one on the far side of the three brick houses.

This beautiful house turned out to be a cowshed.

An exaggeratedly large bull lies quietly on the ground.

A pile of hay was placed outside the house, but somehow it wasn't added to the empty feeding trough in the cowshed.

Move quietly and gently.

This figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

Da Niu's reaction was calm; he simply got up from the ground and nudged the ground with his head.

"Moo!"

As if to say.

"Add more grass quickly!"

The commotion in the cowshed eventually caught the attention of the figure inside the house.

Open the door.

The figure that was just there has vanished.

"Over a long period of time, they have ample time to observe and reflect, to let go or find peace."
