There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 47, Gem Bug
These cave fishmen contributed a lot of messy things to Xiao Yang.

He ate a cave fish that secreted slippery mucus, a bone spear, fishman scales, a scroll of stabbing skills, and some gems.

Xiao Yang's Stab skill maxed out, changing its effect to [Stabbing (+7): Causes a piercing attack that grants a -point defense immunity.] It was a simple and crude upgrade logic, but Xiao Yang expected the sole effect of Stab to be armor-piercing, which was in line with expectations. After all, not every white skill was as simple, crude, violent, and surprising as Smash.

What is puzzling is why these cave murlocs, which are about to transform into large loaches, would explode murloc scales and gems?
Xiao Yang was holding a round ruby ​​that was almost the size of a pigeon egg in his hand and was confused.

【ruby
Quality: Excellent

Introduction: This is a ruby. It has many uses: equipment crafting, mage materials, jewelry inlays, and collections. To some extent, these shiny things are the true hard currency of the universe.

However, Xiao Yang's doubt was soon answered. When he waded through the wet mud and explored further step by step, Xiao Yang found that the bottom of the underground crack was much wider than he had imagined.

Leaving the pool and wandering in this dim underground environment, he could occasionally find some lone skeleton warriors, but more often he would find a new kind of monster that he had never seen before, as well as a huge amount of wealth guarded by these monsters.

During the exploration, Xiao Yang stepped on a round stone that hurt his feet. He lowered his head and was surprised to find that it was actually a gem.

Emerald ore
Quality: Excellent

"A piece of blue quality gem ore? Ah!" Xiao Yang picked up the emerald ore.

"I got it so easily?" He exclaimed.

By stuffing it into his personal backpack, Xiao Yang easily obtained a precious material of blue quality. He fell into thought and looked up. A crack in the cliff emitting a bright light appeared in front of him not far away.

This piece of emerald ore probably rolled out from this crack. Looking into the depths of the crack, Xiao Yang saw a large number of glowing mineral crystal columns.

In the silence, Xiao Yang's eyes became sharper and more dangerous.

This is no coincidence! Xiao Yang is also a heavy map player, he loves exploring the most!
Maybe being an aerialist isn't such a bad situation after all. This underground area is truly rich. No, it really makes people want to explore!
With big strides, Xiao Yang strode into the crack at the bottom of the cliff in front of him. In short, he likes mining!

Xiao Yang felt that he was probably going to make a fortune.

But not long after, Xiao Yang, who had just taken a big stride forward, began to run back in a panic. Suddenly, several beams of colorful light shot out from the crack behind him and hit Xiao Yang's butt, making him scream. He lost more than a hundred points of blood and was so scared that he ran for his life and flew out, and only escaped by hiding behind a huge rock.

Where did this come from? Why are there so many laser turrets stationed in the mine?
At this time, this was the only thought echoing in Xiao Yang's mind who was still in shock.

Just when Xiao Yang escaped, seven or eight insects of different colors, the size of basketballs, with sparkling crystal shells on their backs, crawled out of the mine with a grunt behind him.

It was them. Just now, their concerted attack almost killed Xiao Yang and forced him to go see Tai Nai.

Something was wrong, something was very wrong! Logically speaking, with Xiao Yang's current defense, not only would the common level 11 or 2 monsters he encountered be incapable of harming him, even the level 20 Skeleton Knight could only inflict very limited damage. What was going on with this group of bugs? They couldn't all be regional bosses above level 20, could they?
Xiao Yang poked his head out from behind a big rock and cast a detection spell at the group of insects.

【Gem Bug
special creature
Characteristics: energy enrichment, energy convergence, energy burst, energy series connection.

Introduction: This is a very special creature. They live in energy-rich areas, have no clear hierarchy, and are also extremely expensive.

Xiao Yang probably knew why these colorful insects had such strong attack power. With these four energy characteristics on their bodies, they formed a mobile high-concentration energy aggregate and could be connected in series. It would be strange if their attack power was not strong.

The cascading energy burst from seven or eight gem bugs almost gave Xiao Yang a skin off. These small guys were really dangerous.

Xiao Yang withdrew his gaze and squatted behind the huge stone and fell into deep thought. These gem bugs were not easy to deal with, but Xiao Yang was not going to let them go. After all, this was an extremely huge fortune.

I have to give it a try no matter what, otherwise I will not be willing to give up no matter what!
Xiao Yang made such a decision. Afterwards, he wandered outside the mine for a long time but could not find a suitable opportunity to attack. He sneaked into the mine in front of him several times, but the result was no different. Xiao Yang was hit by the lasers of the gem bugs and fled in a panic.

After several rounds of this, he really discovered a blind spot, and a breakthrough appeared. Xiao Yang found that the attack frequency of these gem insects did not seem to be too high. No, it should be said that the energy storage of these gem insects has a limit.

After being destroyed several times, Xiao Yang discovered that the shells of several of the gem bugs chasing him had dimmed, and these dimmed gem bugs did not participate in the subsequent chain attacks of this group of gem bugs.

While thinking, Xiao Yang called out his summons. Outside the bright gem mine, Xiao Yang gave instructions to the ordinary skeleton summoned in front of him.

"You! Get over here!"

At Xiao Yang's command, the ordinary skeleton swung its crackling bony body and rushed into the mine, and was then directly exploded by the gem bugs. Of course, Xiao Yang, the instigator, was not moved by the miserable end of this ordinary skeleton. He just wondered why the skeleton summoning of the Ghost Helmet was limited and could only be summoned once a day.

Xiao Yang's judgment was correct. The intensity of the energy chain explosion of these gem insects was obviously much weaker than last time. The shell of another gem insect dimmed.

But now there are no cannon fodders, and Xiao Yang can only absorb the energy explosion later.

There is actually nothing wrong with him doing this. His recovery speed is definitely faster than the charging speed of these gem bugs, and these gem bugs can't kill him in seconds.

It’s just that, but this is not without cost. Being bombarded by such a powerful energy beam, Xiao Yang will also feel pain, and it will be very painful.

Soon after, another painful howl echoed at the bottom of the underground crack.

Of course, all this will not be without gain.

[Congratulations to the player for increasing their elemental resistance! ]
