There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 209, Entering the Clock Tower City
This black disc is a sundial. When Xiao Yang took it out, he saw a black iron pillar supported in the center of the disc.

Placed in the sunlight, the light falls on the black iron pillar on the disc, and a dark shadow appears on the disc.

There was already a mark carved on the disc.

The clue appeared.

Standing on this mound, he could clearly look down at the ruins in front of him.

Since it is a sundial, then what it guides and foreshadows should be time.

Simple calculation, that time should be.

"One in the morning?"

Xiao Yang uttered this word with a little doubt.

There was a brief silence.

It looks like the exploration of the secrets of this small town ruins will have to be temporarily halted.

It was one o'clock in the morning and the world had already fallen into darkness. He couldn't afford to wander around in the rotten place after dark.

We have been struggling with the ruins of this small town for a while, but now it is like this, is it just a matter of giving up?

“I’m a little unhappy!”

But there is really no other way.

After burying the skull in the small pit, Xiao Yang left with some dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, he did not gain nothing. At least he confirmed one thing.

"There is a holy object in this area, and it is probably in the Clock Tower City."

Return to the shack area.

Baruch was already waiting outside the shantytown.

When he saw Xiao Yang, he immediately waved his arms happily.

"Great Knight, my lord, I have found it! I have found it!"

In the last meeting, Xiao Yang asked Baruch to help him find a way to enter the Clock Tower City.

Now it seems he has some ideas.

Mysteriously, he stuffed a parchment scroll into Xiao Yang's hand.

"Great Master, at the moment when it's almost dark, you go to this location. A rope will be lowered there. Remember, pull it three times with force and two times with gentle force. Then someone will lead you in."

After putting away the parchment scroll, Xiao Yang asked Baruch a very crucial question.

“Is this guaranteed?”

Pulling the rope at dark always feels very unreliable!

Baruch scratched his head at Xiao Yang's hesitation, then showed an awkward but polite smile.

"That's right, great knight, my lord. By the way, you can get to this place earlier, you don't have to wait until dark!"

Seeing this guy's appearance and the subsequent annotations, Xiao Yang's face behind the armor became a little twisted. He always felt that he was very unreliable!

In silence, he nodded to Baruch in front of him.

"Thank you, Baruch. Is there anything you would like?"

"No, no, if possible, can this be considered another favor, great master!"

When this guy said this, his face showed a bit more excitement and an almost uncontrollable desire.

He seems to take this very seriously.

Of course, Xiao Yang was not too stingy about Baruch's request.

"Yes, if I succeed in getting in this time!"

"Good! Good! Thank you very much! Generous master! Great master!"

Xiao Yang walked towards the depths of the shack camp. There was now another figure behind him, Baruch, who was following him with a hunched back like a giant humanoid rat.

The dried meat succubus Xiao Yang has officially gained his first follower in this world.

A few simple meetings, favors promised, and some dried meat.

They almost brought the poor thief Baruch to his knees.

Xiaogu's figure suddenly appeared in the shadow behind Xiao Yang.

He silently looked at Baruch behind Xiao Yang.

Perhaps it was Baruk's identity as a thief that made Xiaogu feel a little threatened. After all, colleagues are always enemies.

But it's not a big problem, Baruch, the hunchbacked guy, behaved smoothly enough.

He leaned down and made a flattering expression towards Xiaogu, which made the little guy stop complaining. With the sound of clicking, the little guy disappeared in Xiao Yang's shadow again.

This competition for favor ended without even being noticed by Xiao Yang.

Little Bud's shack.

When Xiao Yang returned here again, the fish woman's condition had become extremely bad.

Curled up in the corner.

Xiao Yang made a deal with her.

As a reward for taking care of little Bud until he grows up.

[Heart of the Dungeon

Quality: Epic

Limited to: Rotten Land

Effect: Improves dungeon quality

Introduction: Destroy small dungeons and above, and you will be able to obtain this item. 】

The Dungeon Heart appears to be a dark purple, irregular glass ball.

Xiao Yang accepted the commission.

What happened today was not just this one thing. It was as if after wandering for a period of time, this rotten land finally opened its doors to Xiao Yang.

A series of things appeared before him.

One of the three additional pieces of information Baruch had given was about the miner who was about to mature. He had matured right now. The hut area was in a state of chaos, and this commotion caught Xiao Yang's attention. When he left Little Bud's hut, he was met with a joyful scene.

A gem man, whose body was covered with transparent crystals and had completely lost its human form, was held high up. Several miners, whose bodies were covered with only tiny crystals, were parading him through the streets to show him off to the public.

The object of the parade was the miner who was about to mature.

The person who organized the parade was the miner's apprentice.

Xiao Yang was distributed the food that came with the joyous parade, and a roasted golden frog was delivered to him.

Everyone was very happy. It was not easy to produce a fully mature miner in this shanty town. Often, these guys who traveled back and forth in the wilderness would die at some point in time for various reasons.

The birth of such a fully mature miner is a cause for celebration, as it means that there will be someone here who can escape from the shanty town and enter the clock tower city behind.

Listening to the sound of gongs and drums in the factory at this time.

Xiao Yang just watched.

The ceremony of beating drums and gongs finally reached its final moment, and a young miner climbed onto the raised scaffolding.

The fully mature old miner had not died completely yet, and his whole body was trembling slightly. The young miner waved the mining draft in his hand high with a different and complicated emotion.

Sadness, pain, confusion, fear, greed.

The ore draft fell heavily, hitting the old miner who had been completely crystallized. At this moment, with the crisp sound, everyone on the field cheered.

Just at this moment.

The God Game prompt sounded.

[Player obtains mental state: Angry]

[Anger: Mental damage taken increases by 1.5 times, and damage taken increases by 1 time]

The update of the God game a few days ago was not just for fun.

At this moment, Xiao Yang's panel now has an additional option for mental state.

This thing is a bit like a curse, but unlike the deteriorating curse, the effects it presents are both good and bad, and between the two, one is external pollution and the other is the surge of one's own spirit.

Xiao Yang's spiritual attribute is really a very special attribute.

This mental state directly reflects Xiao Yang's emotions.

not end yet.

In this joyous scene, a panicked shout suddenly sounded behind him.

"Mom, where have you been!"

At this moment, Xiao Yang was inexplicably filled with inexplicable anger.

This world is not a real game.

Xiao Yang was very clear about this, and what he saw also repeatedly warned him.

But sometimes, maybe it would be better if it were really a game.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Yang found the location marked by Baruch on the parchment scroll.

Xiao Yang entrusted little Bad to Baruch, asking him to help take care of him during this period of time.

Don't underestimate Baruch.

This guy's level is not low, he is even at the elite level. At least his safety is guaranteed if he entrusts little Bard to his care.

It's time to get down to business.

This place is in the middle of the side wall of Clock Tower City.

Xiao Yang found a rope that was lowered here and pulled it hard.

Pull three times hard and two times gently.

Suddenly there was movement, and a voice came down from the city wall.

"Did you bring anything?"

Xiao Yang suddenly felt a little more confused about this sentence.

"Bring something, bring what?"

It turns out that Baruch is both reliable and somewhat unreliable.

It was reliable in that he really found a smuggling channel for Xiao Yang in these few days. It was unreliable in that he never told Xiao Yang that he needed to bring anything with him.

Xiao Yang's silence made the figures on the city wall look a little more anxious.

"I will only pull you up if you give me food!"

Okay, since it’s this, it’s not a big problem.

"I brought food, you won't be short of anything!"

In response to Xiao Yang's words, a basket was quickly thrown down from the city wall.

Xiao Yang kept taking out strips of dried meat from his personal backpack and piling them into the basket that was thrown down. It was not full, only half full.

"I'll give you half first. Later, you have to pull me up and I'll give you the rest!"

I have to say that sometimes it is not just high-quality equipment, props and materials that can play a big role, such as the dried meat in Xiao Yang's hands.

【Jerky

Quality: Normal

Effect: Provides satiety and nutrition

Introduction: This is a piece of good quality jerky that can fill you up.

These ten or so spirit coins could buy a lot of things, but they actually helped Xiao Yang a lot in this rotten land.

All I can say is that whether something is precious or not really depends on the environment it is in.

Afterwards, Xiao Yang was pulled up little by little by the figure on the city wall.

Climbing up the wall of the clock tower city and looking down, you will see a densely packed crowd of houses.

Maybe it was because it was getting dark, but Xiao Yang didn't see anyone moving around in the city.

The city is dead.
