There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 100, Flames and Battles
In the Temple Square, at the edge of the spider web area where densely packed dried-up corpses were hanging, a stealthy figure approached.

Xiao Yang was able to approach here smoothly thanks to the night shelter given by the Dark Boss. This special treasure looks like a black full-moon gem, and its effect is that footsteps are silent in the dark.

Although its judgment is effective in the night state, in fact it can work as long as the ambient light is dim enough. As long as Xiao Yang puts away the lantern of hope for a short time, he can enter the silent footsteps state anytime and anywhere in this already dim skeleton dungeon.

This situation is perfect for stealing. Otherwise, with the noise made by Xiao Yang walking in this heavy armor, he would be attacked by everyone before he even gets close to the spider's nest.

What is Xiao Yang going to do? He is going to be an arsonist.

Before doing anything, Xiao Yang first took out a light brown incense stick. This was the epic consumable he had just obtained, the calming sandalwood. It looked so ordinary that it was hard to imagine that it was a precious epic-level item.

Xiao Yang obtained a total of three soothing sandalwood sticks in the advancement reward. These three soothing sandalwood sticks exist as a set of consumables.

It was extremely expensive, and even Xiao Yang felt a little distressed about using it. However, there was no other way. If Xiao Yang still wanted to advance into the dungeon, then mental protection was something he could not avoid.

Compared to his various attributes and resistances that are strong enough, his spirit is really weak. With only 35 points of spirit, he will be overwhelmed by just a touch or a bump.

The spiritual attribute has become the biggest shortcoming in Xiao Yang's numerical panel.

Xiao Yang was very dissatisfied with this, although in fact his spiritual attributes were not low or weak. After all, what level was the enemy he was facing now?

Corpse of the Saint (head), level 32, lord rank.

What level is Xiao Yang now? Level 16, elite.

Just like this, Xiao Yang was indignant that he could not withstand the mental attack of the saint's corpse for too long, um...

When the calming sandalwood was lit, a sharp and cool fragrance spread out, making people feel very calm. However, this did not affect what Xiao Yang was about to do. It was just that the existence of the calming sandalwood changed Xiao Yang's state when he did these things.

From a violent arsonist to a calm arsonist, Xiao Yang took out a fire grenade from his personal backpack. Compared with the secondary dragon flame, the fire grenade takes effect faster and the flame field can be spread larger, making it extremely suitable for ignition.

"Try this."

The calming sandalwood is very effective. Amidst the sharp fragrance, Xiao Yang's harsh words were spoken without a trace of hesitation.

Xiao Yang threw the fire grenade out fiercely. With a crisp cracking sound, the flames rose up and began to spread rapidly.

About one-tenth of the entire spider-filled area was ignited by the fire grenade. This was already a large area. The area of ​​this temple square was unusually large. The spiders and the dried corpses hanging on the silk threads were terrified by the burning flames.

However, as a kind of extraordinary creature, they are not completely helpless against the flames. A large number of spiders crawled out from the dried corpses, and with shrill wails, these fist-sized spiders began to point their butts at the area where the flames were burning. The wet spider silk covered with mucus was thrown out quickly, and the flames were immediately brought under control.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yang grinned. He never said that he would only set a fire once!
He threw out one fire grenade after another. In such a commotion, it didn't matter whether he was exposed or not. Xiao Yang exchanged the Night Shelter on his waist for the Lantern of Hope. The flames were constantly burning, but this was not the end, there was still the Secondary Dragon Flame.

Xiao Yang's thinking was correct. While the calming sandalwood couldn't help Xiao Yang recover his spirit, it could help stabilize his mental attributes. Amidst the chaotic and piercing screams, the same thing that happened earlier today reappeared. Soul depletion began to pop up repeatedly above Xiao Yang's head, and a tug-of-war ensued between the Lantern of Hope and the screams of the withered corpses.

But compared to earlier, this time with the blessing of calming sandalwood, Xiao Yang's mental decline was not very large. Although it was still declining, the rate of decline had dropped to a negligible level.

Calming the mind, settling the spirit, and soothing the mind, these effects are effective for Xiao Yang. After verifying this, things will be easier. At least he will not lose the chance to fight these monsters.

The corners of Xiao Yang's mouth curved up into a big arc.

His return was noticed by the human-headed spider. With a resentful expression and a sharp roar, the human-headed spider suddenly pounced towards Xiao Yang. In response, Xiao Yang grasped the rusty giant axe in his hand.

Start with a roar.

"Die!"

The roar only caused the human-headed spider to pause for a moment. With a resentful expression, the huge spider suddenly pounced towards Xiao Yang.

"Like a wild beast, more than a spellcaster."

This was Xiao Yang's most intuitive feeling towards the human-headed spider that was violently rushing towards him, but it was just right, because this was exactly what gave Xiao Yang a chance.

He swung the rusty heavy axe in his hand and swept it across with great force. The axe hit the huge human-headed spider heavily, and hit it hard. Xiao Yang chopped off one of the legs of the big spider, and the spider leg with rough and short hair flew out.

With the Rusty Heavy Axe, the Blackrock Prison Guard Rules, and the Elite Killer, Xiao Yang dealt a solid blow of 175 points of damage, which cut off a large section of the human-headed spider's health bar.

As for the attack of the human-headed spider, Xiao Yang did not make any defense at all, but just let it attack him. Its forelimbs, as sharp as knives, suddenly pulled Xiao Yang over. Xiao Yang's powerful and heavy blow with short limbs made the human-headed spider howl in pain, but it did not stop.

Dense sticky silk threads were sprayed onto Xiao Yang's body, and they were about to tie him up like a dumpling in an instant.

The closer the two sides got, the clearer Xiao Yang could see the sacred face, and the more he could feel the deformity and disharmony in it.

As for the silk threads wrapped around his body, flames suddenly rose from Xiao Yang's body. The flames melted the silk threads and freed him from the restraints. At the same time, Xiao Yang also made an upward slash.

He didn't bring any skills, just an ordinary slash, but relying on the high damage and defense-ignoring ability of the Rusty Axe, Xiao Yang still easily dealt a heavy blow to the giant spider.

But this battle is not that simple.

In pain, the human-headed spider finally suppressed some of its instincts, and used the power contained in the wreckage.

A dazzling light flowed over the human-headed spider, and its blood was instantly restored. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yang's mouth twitched violently.
