There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 72, Return to the Dungeon, Flame of Hope
Xiao Yang, holding a helmet, appeared in the sewer safe house of Blackstone Prison. He felt a little uncomfortable when he came back here. The safe house in front of him was still the same old one, dim, small, and damp, and there was a stench of corruption that could not be dispelled.

This commission was successfully completed, and Xiao Yang got both legitimate and illegitimate gains.

There were two bright lipstick marks on his face, one on the left and one on the right.

I have to say, this feeling is quite strange. For some unknown reason, Xiao Yang felt as if something was watching him.

He lowered his head and saw that it was Xiaogu. The little guy raised his head and his eyes fell on the purple lipstick mark on Xiao Yang's right cheek. Xiao Yang coughed slightly and raised his head as if nothing had happened. He was inexplicably nervous, although he didn't know what he was nervous about.

"Alright alright!"

In the end, Xiao Yang couldn't stand this kind of scrutiny anymore and chose to wipe off the lipstick marks on his cheek. After all, this would not have a good impact on his image.

Of the two lipstick marks, the pink one came from the petite affairs officer, while the purple one came from the tired yet mature commander of Hope Sanctuary, Yuli.

Xiao Yang couldn't help but think of the scene that just happened.

Yuli embraced him in her arms with such strength that Xiao Yang was unable to react for a moment and was completely wrapped in the extreme softness.

It’s hard to describe the feeling. After all, Xiao Yang never took off his equipment. He only remembered that he didn’t dare to move at all at that time. The exaggerated lines pressed out by the heavy armor were all over his body, the kind of full and tight lines.

Yuli put her mouth next to Xiao Yang's ear and whispered to him in an extremely charming tone with a moist breath.

"Thank you for your help, my little hero!"

Xiao Yang recalled the scene that had just happened, but the two did not continue, and did not even add each other as friends. Everything just ended here, until the purple lipstick mark on Xiao Yang's face.

There was not much hesitation or reluctance, as both of them had their own things to do and face.

After wiping off the two lipstick marks on her face, Xiaogu finally stopped staring at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang patted the little guy's head, feeling a little amused and helpless.

"What's wrong, Xiaogu!"

Xiaogu didn't answer, but silently pushed away Xiao Yang's hand, and then climbed onto the bench where Xiao Yang was sitting with a clicking sound, and sat next to Xiao Yang.

It's time to take stock of the harvest.

On this trip to the plane of assistance, Xiao Yang's first wave of gains was the Despicable Dragon Hunter Set, a set of heavy armor with no weapons, full epic items and a one-handed shield. This set of equipment should be enough for Xiao Yang to use for a long time.

Then came the leap in spirit. His spirit also reached twenty points during this assistance. At the same time, Xiao Yang also discovered another special state brought by this spiritual attribute.

In the shaken state, some of Xiao Yang's skills will present a completely opposite panel. This situation has advantages and disadvantages. Xiao Yang is sure that such changes are inseparable from those evil gods, but if it really comes to some extremely dangerous situations, these changed skills may be able to help him better.

The skills of transforming the panel in the shaken state are indeed more powerful than the normal form.

Just be careful, absolutely be careful not to completely empty your mind. It's a situation where it's hard to say what the pros and cons are, and it's even more likely that the cons will outweigh the pros.

The lack of skills and equipment was almost made up for. At least it was no longer a shortcoming. In fact, the equipment alone was extremely luxurious. The only thing missing was a suitable weapon.

But these are not all the gains. The heart of the light and dark dragon is a big piece of the puzzle of Xiao Yang's career.

I can't see any effect yet, but it shouldn't be a common legendary item.

And the main reason why Xiao Yang chose to accept this commission in the first place was an extraordinary flame that could rekindle his old friend.

He took out the dazzling golden flame that had hatched from the sacred fire from his personal backpack. What was hatched from the sacred fire was not the target that Xiao Yang had chosen at the beginning, not the holy flame of salvation, but another kind of flame, but it might be more suitable.

[Flame of Hope

Quality: Epic

Effect: Slowly recovers spirit, dispels curse, and keeps hope alive
Introduction: This flame representing hope is not so hot, but as long as it is still burning, it means that there is still a glimmer of hope.

Compared to the Holy Flame of Redemption, this flame of hope lacks the extreme aggressiveness towards evil creatures, in exchange for a somewhat meaningless hope that has not dissipated. However, Xiao Yang feels that this meaningless effect may bring him greater help at some point in time.

It was time to light the darkness-dispelling lantern. Opening the lampshade of the darkness-dispelling lantern, Xiao Yang held the flame in his hand towards the wick of the darkness-dispelling lantern, which had completely dimmed. When the two came into contact, the dazzling golden flame in Xiao Yang's hand slowly climbed up the dim wick while shaking.

A swaying golden flame was re-ignited in the Darkness-Removing Lantern. The repair was successful. A happy smile appeared on Xiao Yang's face, and the Darkness-Removing Lantern returned to Xiao Yang's hands with a brand new panel.

【Lantern of hope

Quality: Epic

Effect: Slowly restore spirit, dispel curse, break darkness, fire of hope
Introduction: An extinguished lantern returns to the adventurer's hands with a brand new look. It is very happy and will continue to illuminate the adventurer's path as before.

The soft light shone on Xiao Yang's body. The appearance of the Darkness-Removing Lantern did not change much, but Xiao Yang was very happy that this old friend was back in his hands.

Everything is perfect.

This time, Xiao Yang actually still had some things he could do, such as the Shovel of Freedom. However, he said that restraining his curiosity was a good thing, as the Shovel of Freedom was still too free.

He hung the lantern that had regained its light back around his waist, and a new exploration and advancement was about to begin.

The current Xiao Yang is no longer the same Xiao Yang as before. He is no longer afraid of the red-eyed rats running wildly in the sewers.

He planned to clear the hidden map on the second floor as quickly as possible, and then clear the skeleton dungeon on the second floor, so that he could return to the real plane as soon as possible and start upgrading.

Xiao Yang's attributes have been stuck at 20 for a long time. After completing this upgrade, his attribute cap can be unlocked by an additional 20 points. The attribute cap of a normal level 20 player at this stage is 40, so the attribute cap of an elite player at this stage after completing the upgrade can reach 60.

There are also additional traits that can only be obtained after upgrading.

The gap between players is completely widened in these rounds of leading.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang opened the door of the safe house.

"Anyway, it's time to keep moving forward!"
