There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 205: The Rat King in the Ruins

Two epic items, one gift box.

[Rat Whistle, Mill Blueprint]

Rat Flute
Quality: Epic

Effect: Blow the flute to attract rat enemies in the surrounding environment
Introduction: You must have heard that story before, but today I want to tell you a brand new version. The one playing the flute is not a human, but a mouse. You thought you caught us, but no, no, we caught you!

【Mill Drawing

Quality: Epic

Effect: Build a windmill that symbolizes abundance
Introduction: The land is already polluted, what change can a mill bring?

Xiao Yang's eyes fell on these two props.

Both items are considered useful, which means you don’t have to choose a gift box.

"Just which one should I choose?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yang chose to use the rat flute.

As for why he chose this rat-calling flute, the answer is right there on the riddle. Looking up, he saw big, red-eyed rats chirping and climbing freely among the ruins and debris in the broken eaves and walls in front of him.

According to the information provided by Baruch, the thing that symbolizes the existence of the holy relic exists in these ruins. It is a living thing, or a group of living things.

A rat king.

Rat King, a terrible phenomenon that symbolizes plague and death. On an ordinary day, the tails of several or a group of rats will be entangled with each other and tied into knots, unable to be separated. They will begin to pull each other and fight with their own kind around them. You can see the rotten rat corpses among the tangled rats.

Walking and moving cannot be done in a normal way, but in a rolling state.

If these conditions match one by one, then a rat king is officially born.

In this rotten land, the birth of the Rat King corresponds to the gift of a fixed god, the plague rat swarm.

The blessing of God will not fall casually, not to mention that this plague rat group has not projected more power or performed miracles in this area for a long time.

But a new rat king was born in this area.

This is indeed a very powerful piece of evidence.

As long as the Rat King is found in this dungeon, the existence of the evil god's holy relic can be confirmed very directly.

Xiao Yang was not too unfamiliar with the plague rat swarm. It was the only one that expressed its hostility as soon as Xiao Yang stepped into this rotten land.

There is a grudge between the two.

Among the enemies you will face later, there will definitely be rats.

In this situation, it is normal for Xiao Yang to choose this rat flute.

Although it is very obvious from the introduction of this flute that there is something wrong, it is not a big problem. Xiao Yang has used many things that are even more wrong, and this rat-calling flute is probably one of them.

The time has come to advance.

The closer Xiao Yang got to the desolate ruins, the more rustling sounds he could hear.

There are quite a lot of rats in this ruin.

Since these dungeon monsters broke through the regional restrictions and began to refresh continuously, their numbers have experienced a blowout.

Rats like these hiding in corners and crevices are fine.

Monsters that are slightly larger, or those with group-forming characteristics, when they gather together and exceed the upper limit of their number, they gather densely together, which is really a headache.

Not to mention others, just talking about Xiao Yang's old friends, any of them can hardly be called excellent skeletons.

Those ordinary skeletons and skeleton warriors would also give Xiao Yang a headache when they gathered in large numbers.

A skeleton, an absolute weakling, one of the most fragile supernatural creatures, even ordinary people can easily deal with it.

Ten skeletons can barely form an undead team, but they are still not very powerful. They just look more intimidating.

One hundred skeletons form a small undead army. Due to the scale effect, they will decide on a skeleton leader on their own. At this time, more powerful skeleton undead such as skeleton warriors or skeleton warriors begin to be born.

A thousand skeletons, skeleton warriors began to be born in small batches.

Ten thousand skeletons, the traces of the Undead Lord began to appear.

One hundred thousand skeletons, spontaneously, a cloud of undead began to appear. The excessive gathering of undead energy will begin to erode the world. The Skeleton King will soon be born, and the prototype of an undead disaster begins to appear.

This is when Xiao Yang starts to have a headache.

These inconspicuous guys will become the most troublesome enemies after gathering together, and the dungeons that have removed restrictions on monster activities have provided conditions for such unreasonable gatherings.

For example, the battlefield of the dead that Xiao Yang had picked up an advantage. If it had not been broken through by the Finger Bishop and his army of hand disease infected people, it would probably have taken several months of accumulation of skeleton warriors for it to stabilize.

That was when Xiao Yang walked around it.

The existence of these dungeons bypasses many of the existing limitations.

The dungeon monsters born from these dungeons are not actually living creatures, but just dolls that are 99% similar.

But that's just the way it is. These dolls are able to bypass many of the rules that the objects being imitated need to follow.

The birth of the undead requires death, but the undead dungeons don't even need corpses to spawn new skeleton monsters. On a more negative note, these guys who produce skeletons and skeleton warriors are so difficult to deal with now, what if there is a dungeon in this world that can produce dragons?

Unable to think about it too much, Xiao Yang interrupted his thoughts.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this rotten land was filled with all kinds of hornets' nests, each of which was extremely deadly.

If it weren't for the fact that all the dungeons in this world were closely related to the evil gods, then this world would definitely be extremely suitable for being opened to players.

A perfect dungeon paradise.

Countless players have entered this world, fighting monsters and clearing dungeons day and night, contributing to saving the world.

It's a pity that we can't do this. If the pollution of these evil gods really spreads to those god game players, it will really be the rhythm of a septic tank explosion and the beginning of a large-scale biological infection.

Now, there is only one God Game player who has landed in this fatal place.

And he is also a god-level game player who is not very likely to be resurrected.

"The future is bleak!"

Xiao Yang sighed like this.

In addition to the Rat King that lurked in the town ruins, Baruch also brought Xiao Yang some other news.

"There have been some strange movements deep in the eastern mine recently. Some miners seem to have seen a giant dragon crawling inside."

"Among the bushes to the north, an exceptionally tall living shrub is about to bear fruit. These living plants seem to be particularly active recently."

"There's an old miner in the shack coming of age."

Behind these three pieces of news are various abnormal situations, but there is no need to be so anxious to explore these abnormal situations.

Let’s get the more important things sorted out first.

As we stepped into the ruins, amidst rustling sounds, pairs of red eyes appeared in the dark corners of the ruins.

The battle is about to begin.

These rats were indeed old acquaintances of his. They were the red-eyed rats that Xiao Yang saw in the sewers of Black Stone Prison. Compared with the red-eyed rats in the sewers, the red-eyed rats here had almost no changes except that they were generally several levels higher.

Xiao Yang once again confirmed his guess that the plague rat group was hostile to him.

I'm afraid he just killed those red-eyed rats in the sewer too much.

Dense swarms of huge red-eyed rats suddenly emerged from the cracks under his feet, from afar, and from various places, and surrounded Xiao Yang.

The situation at this moment looked extremely dangerous, as if Xiao Yang was going to be eaten to death by countless rats in the next moment.

He was not particularly panicked by this scene, and even felt inexplicably emotional.

Looking at the densely packed red-eyed rats surrounding him, the situation was so similar to the scene in the sewer.

It's just different, it's still different after all.

He once lost these densely packed, seemingly endless, red-eyed rats, and later he found the cave spiders, but the cave spiders could not replace these red-eyed rats.

And now, he encountered these red-eyed rats again.

With sharp hisses, the red-eyed rats rushed towards Xiao Yang frantically.

Swinging the rusty giant axe in his hand, a red-eyed rat died at the hands of Xiao Yang.

[Experience gained: 2]

There is really too little experience.

It was clear that only a short period of time had passed.

"But why are you now so different from who you were before?"

With such melancholy feelings, Xiao Yang began to kill.

Red-eyed giant rats kept falling down every moment. Xiao Yang's growth was obvious. The Xiao Yang who once had to put up a shield and rely on the fire dungeon to exchange for a chance to catch his breath among the swarms of rats, can now face everything without blushing or being nervous.

As time passed, the dead rats piled up.

Finally, the guy hiding in the ruins of this small town couldn't bear it anymore.

The ruins of this small town and the bandit camp have the same problem, that is, there are too few layers and it is not three-dimensional enough.

From the moment Xiao Yang broke into the ruins, the three fixed results had already appeared.

Otherwise, Xiao Yang would be killed by these rats.

Otherwise Xiao Yang couldn't hold on and retreated.

Or Xiao Yang found what he was looking for.

Amidst a strange, interlaced, and extremely harsh chaotic chirping sound, the target that Xiao Yang was looking for this time appeared.

A tangled mass of rats squeezed their bodies out from the collapsed rubble.

The Rat King, it appeared.
