There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 124, Vortex Man
And that's how it happened.

There was another fierce battle. There were piles of corpses around him. He used the secondary dragon flame to bake the armor and chewed the dry and hard meat bought from the Zhutian Trading Zone with clear water.

His face was full of dejection.

If you say that Xiao Yang is in a bad condition now, his attributes and life are full, but if you say that Xiao Yang is in a good condition now, his expression is twisted.

In fact, it is possible to temporarily evacuate through the dungeon door, but after the torture of the past few days, there is only one area left in the sewer that has not been explored.

"A little more liver, a little more liver!"

Xiao Yang said this to himself.

After calling out Xiaogu, the little guy consciously became alert around Xiao Yang. Leaning against the wall of the sewer, Xiao Yang began to sort out the clues he had obtained from the sewer in the past few days.

During the exploration in the past few days, Xiao Yang obtained a lot of useful information.

[Lenaxia gave away all the holy water in the temple and planned to give it to those peasants. How foolish! The infected Baron Holden is willing to pay 100 gold coins per ounce in exchange for holy water. Why should I give this holy water to those peasants?]

The number of infected people in Blackrock City has increased significantly in just a few days. Lenashia must be going crazy. She's still trying to save those infected. She's planning to put those infected peasants into the temple.

[Damn those idiots! I told them to be patient and use holy water appropriately. This hand-growing disease can be cured by holy water alone. Continuously using holy water will only make it more and more difficult to suppress. Well, this is a good thing. Renashia is preparing the purification ritual. Those pigs will have to pay more for holy water during this period!]

[Perhaps these peasants are not completely useless. If I break open their bodies, the secret of this long-hand disease will be revealed to me.]

[My hand-growth problem is getting worse. It's okay, it's okay. I'm about to prepare for the purification ritual of Lenashia, and there's also Her Majesty the Goddess of Rest!]

In the three torture rooms, Xiao Yang found these fragmentary words, which revealed to him the reason why so many people infected with the multi-hand disease gathered in the sewer.

If I'm not mistaken, Renashia is the name of the saint, which is also the name of the head on Xiao Yang's waist.

The purification ceremony must have failed. If it had succeeded, why would the saint's body be placed in a crystal coffin and her head be left outside?

Leaning against the wall, Xiao Yang thought about this as he fell asleep in a daze.

In this scarlet corner of the sewer, next to the pile of corpses, under Xiaogu's protection, Xiao Yang fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, Xiao Yang's sleep was not disturbed this time, and his depressed mental state was relieved.

Xiao Yang was approaching the area where the Rat King was located in the sewer of Blackstone Prison.

There was still a lack of information, but it was not without gain. Xiao Yang at least knew that a purification ceremony had been held in the Temple of Rest.

In this area, Xiao Yang encountered the last type of enemy recorded in the blood-stained notebook, the Vortex Man.

The vortex-faced people are the ones who retain the most human parts among the group of people infected with the long-hand disease. Their bodies and limbs have hardly any deformations. There are no growing nails, no fingers breaking out of the flesh, and no changes like pink slimes.

The most striking abnormality about them is their face.

The facial features disappeared, replaced by a huge vortex. Look more closely, no, it's not a vortex! It's a giant fingerprint!

The facial features are gone, replaced by a branded fingerprint, which is somewhat curious, but not as serious as other people infected with the long hand disease.

The attack method of the Vortex Man is the most peculiar among all the deformed guys. Being stared at by them will temporarily lose your maximum health. A Vortex Man can temporarily deduct 100 points of maximum health.

When Xiao Yang encountered such an attack for the first time, he was shocked. Just by being looked at, Xiao Yang's health limit dropped from 1,500 to 1,400.

Fortunately, the health limit will not be permanently deducted. As long as you defeat them or stay away from them, the lost health limit will slowly recover. But even so, these guys are enough to make people frightened. Such strange methods are really scary.

Theoretically, as long as fifteen vortex-faced people come, Xiao Yang's blood volume can be completely depleted.

But fortunately, there were not many of these guys, and with Xiao Yang's careful pulling, he soon killed all of these vortex-faced people.

It is worth mentioning that although these guys have the weirdest abilities among the deformed guys, the drops they give are also the best.

Compared to the corpse repairing skills of the Knuckle Summoners and the mixed solution of the Flesh Dissolver, compared to these two useless things, the vortex crystal dropped by the Vortex Man is obviously a level higher in effectiveness.

Corpse Repair
Quality: Excellent

Effect: Use one corpse to repair another corpse

Introduction: Maybe there will be some thunder and lightning]

Mixed solution

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Provides one-time, deducts health, poisons, and continuously restores health. A random effect is drawn from the three effects.

【Vortex Crystal

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Can store 100 points of life, deduct 5 points of spirit when taking it out
Introduction: The vortex swallows everything! 】

Corpse repair technique may be useful, but it is of no use at the moment. Keep one copy and sell the others. Mixed solution is of no use and will be sold. Finally, there is the vortex crystal.

This was the first time Xiao Yang saw a prop that could store life. It was a black crystal engraved with a vortex pattern. Holding one, Xiao Yang tried to put 100 points of life into it, and his life value was immediately reduced by a small amount.

At the same time, the vortex crystal in his hand completed the storage of life. After the storage was completed, a faint scarlet color appeared in the vortex crystal.

Next is to take out the life.

With a thought, the stored life was successfully taken out. While his spirit dropped by five points, Xiao Yang's blood volume recovered to 1,500 points.

With a simple try, the value of this vortex crystal becomes clear.

Xiao Yang has a total of five vortex crystals in his hand, which means that he can store a total of 500 blood points. This means that in a critical moment, when his life is needed, he only needs to exert 25 points of spirit to instantly increase his life by 500 points, which is one third of his blood volume.

Moreover, the life returned by this vortex crystal is restored instantly, and its significance and value are self-evident.

Now Xiao Yang even hopes that more of these vortex-faced people will appear, but unfortunately, after a massacre, Xiao Yang has never seen the vortex-faced people again.

But after thinking about it, this is not surprising at all. The vortex-faced people are the ones infected with the long-hand disease who have retained the most human elements.

They were dressed in luxurious clothes, had fair skin, and their identities were obvious.

Those nobles who abused holy water.
