There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 97, Human-headed Spider

Standing in front of this heavy stone door, I pushed it hard. The stone door was not locked, but it was extremely heavy.

With a dull sound, Xiao Yang slowly pushed open the heavy stone door, leaving a gap that was barely big enough for one person to pass through.

What appeared before him was not complete darkness. The faint candlelight in some stone lamps provided the only light. The heavy stone door appeared in front of Xiao Yang in a blurry posture.

Fortunately, Xiao Yang gained the ability of low-light vision during the spontaneous transition of his bloodline.

Looking at the hall in front of him, which only revealed a glimpse of its appearance, Xiao Yang saw a huge statue in the distance, and could not see anything else clearly.

"Let's move forward!"

Instead of rushing into the hall recklessly, he first grasped the dragon hunter shield on his back, made such preparations, and moved forward slowly.

More than one painful lesson has deeply warned Xiao Yang to be careful about opening the door and killing.

Just when his body had just squeezed into the gap, suddenly, a white object fell heavily from the ceiling. At the same time, Xiao Yang raised his shield and slammed it hard. Without caring what was falling in front of him, Xiao Yang shouted.

"This is what I've been waiting for!"

With a crisp sound, the falling object was suddenly knocked away by Xiao Yang.

It rolled continuously on the ground, and only then did Xiao Yang see clearly what it was.

It was a dried-up corpse wrapped in white silk thread.

After the attack of the dried corpse ended, nothing happened anymore and everything was very quiet, but it was this kind of quietness that made people even more uneasy!

"Something's wrong!"

Xiao Yang did not relax his guard at all. At this moment, with a crisp sound, a golden object fell from the ceiling and rolled to Xiao Yang's feet. It was an exquisite wine glass inlaid with many tiny gems, and also a blue equipment.

The Holy Grail
Quality: Excellent

Effect: Purifies the liquid it carries
Introduction: The Holy Grail carries prayers and blessings, and the holy water it contains can allow the dead to rest in peace. However, this is a thing of the past, and now it is just a luxurious golden cup that can make water a little sweeter.

Xiao Yang probably knew what went wrong, so he bent down carefully and made a gesture of picking up something, but in fact he used one hand to pull out the justice condolence from his waist.

The Righteous Consolation is better suited for sneak attacks and emergency situations than the Rusted Greataxe, and the action of holding it is noticeably smaller and less noticeable.

With a sudden roll, he changed from a bent-over picking-up posture to a raised-up fighting posture. His movements were very smooth, and he even had enough time to pick up the fallen gold cup.

Xiao Yang’s style was to roll over and then immediately receive six blows in one second.

With this smooth and flowing movement, he did give a surprise to the monsters that were spying on him, but the opponent also gave him a big surprise.

Looking up, what appeared in front of him was a dense mass of white silk threads, and then countless dried corpses hung high. These dried corpses were not yet completely dead. They were tied up like dumplings with white silk threads, and hung high, with only their heads exposed. These dried corpses all looked at Xiao Yang, motionless, like spectators watching a performance.

Right where he had just stood, a giant human-headed spider had quietly slid down. A web had been spread out on its two raised front legs. If Xiao Yang had really just swaggered to pick up the golden cup, he would probably be caught in the web and hung high up. To be honest, Xiao Yang had expected spiders in the dungeon, and he had also expected the spiders in the dungeon to be large and curious, but the spider's actual appearance was still a bit unexpected.

The huge spider, which is probably the size of a small car when its body is fully extended, is hanging upside down on the ceiling, but it has a human head. The head of this human-headed spider is not a complete spider, but a normal head, even a quite beautiful head.

Long bright silver hair, a black blindfold covering the eyes, a delicate face and a calm expression. If you only look at the head, this human-headed spider has a unique charm, but it is a pity that such a beautiful head is abruptly connected to a giant spider as a body.

Beauty and the beast, ugliness and beauty form the most striking contrast at this moment, conflicting and offsetting each other.

To be fair, this human-headed spider is not ugly, and can even be considered average among the strange things Xiao Yang has seen in the dungeon, but the weird feeling it brings to Xiao Yang is the most obvious.

"Something that shouldn't be there, twisted and weird."

This was Xiao Yang's most intuitive feeling the moment he looked into her eyes.

This sense of distortion caused Xiao Yang's movements to pause for a moment. Not far from him, a trace of surprise appeared on the beautiful face of the human-headed spider, as if it was surprised at its own mistake.

Now the question arises, should we fight?
As for this question, the short stick that Xiao Yang swung out had already given the answer.

He is kind to women, yes, and Xiao Yang is not a cold-blooded evil ghost, but how can I put it?

"Even if you want to create a special column, it can't just have one head!"

Without hesitation, he hit the human-headed spider on the head with a stick, hitting her nose. With this blow, the human-headed spider was knocked down from the ceiling by Xiao Yang.

Facts have proved that Xiao Yang's actions were extremely correct. Don't be fooled by the spider's sacred head, but in fact, it is a monster.

The expression on his face turned into ferocious resentment after being attacked, and the sacred color disappeared. A sharp cry was heard, as if a hornet's nest had been disturbed.

This shrill scream seemed to serve as a signal. One after another, dried corpses fell from the ceiling of the hall, falling like raindrops. Countless corpses fell. At this moment, Xiao Yang heard countless tiny sounds. It was spiders!
Countless smaller spiders crawled out from the dried corpses! This was not the end. As the small spiders crawled out, the dried corpses that were not completely dead began to wail frantically.

This is definitely a scene that is enough to drive people with trypophobia crazy, but there is good news, Xiao Yang is not a person with trypophobia.

But there is also bad news. Not counting the horrific scenes that may appear next, just the sight of these dried-up corpses playing music is enough to make Xiao Yang a little overwhelmed.

The wailing of these things was madly adding a negative state called soul loss to Xiao Yang.

His old friend was frantically trying to dispel this negative state. A bright and dazzling golden light shone from Xiao Yang's waist, but there were too many wailing mummies around. The negative effect of soul loss kept appearing on Xiao Yang and was constantly being dispelled.

In this repeated process, Xiao Yang's spiritual attributes began to decline rapidly.

Xiao Yang started to grit his teeth.
