There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

He planned to find Red Beard to repair his equipment after leaving the second level of the Corpse Tax, at least to remove the teeth marks.

Also, there was the matter of repairing the Poisonous Longsword.

Looking at the Poisonous Longsword in his hand, with a chipped tip, he wasn't a stingy person. Although he had considered selling these obsolete weapons before, selling them should at least mean keeping the equipment he had used intact.

They had accompanied him for a while, after all.

He would entrust Red Beard to repair them together. Oh, and High Furnace Potion, plus a bottle of good wine.

After tallying the losses, it was time for the rewards.

This Yellow Corpse Ghoul was so difficult to deal with, Xiao Yang hoped the items it dropped would be of high quality, at least worthy of its position with the Gluttonous Devour trait.

Rubbing his hands, Xiao Yang reached into the Yellow Corpse Ghoul's body and pulled out an earth-yellow jade stone.

Introduction: One of the five viscera. In ancient times, Qi refiners believed that if they could completely eliminate the death energy in the five viscera, they could become immortals.

The quality of the first item he found was unexpected.

"Special quality?"

He thought this dungeon was just for pure combat enjoyment, but it seemed he needed to pay more attention to the elements related to the five viscera later on.

Speaking of the five viscera, and the word 'Netherworld' he saw in the advancement rewards when entering the second level...

"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere."

But where?

Xiao Yang couldn't remember for a while. He spent some time trying hard to think, but in the end, he still couldn't recall.

He gave up.

Looting the corpse continued.

A wisp of purple light appeared in front of Xiao Yang, adding a bit of anticipation. Although it was only purple, it was, after all, purple dropped by the Yellow Corpse Ghoul, so it might be something special.

Thinking this, Xiao Yang pulled a section of large intestine from the corpse of the Yellow Corpse Ghoul in front of him...

The expression on his face froze instantly as he stared at the section of large intestine in his hand.

Objectively speaking, this section of large intestine wasn't that bad.

[Large Intestine of the Yellow Corpse Ghoul]

Quality: Epic

Type: Material, Storage

Effect: Provides a natural storage space of five meters in length, width, and height.

Introduction: Although it is a section of large intestine, it generally carries a trace of the gluttonous charm. With some refining, it can be considered a treasure.

In various respects, it was actually acceptable.

But...

His gaze fell on the bloody, yellow large intestine.

The corners of Xiao Yang's mouth twitched violently.

His luck was truly outrageously bad, but fortunately, there was a little guy who could turn the tide.

Little Bone's figure appeared beside the corpse of the Yellow Corpse Ghoul. As the little guy searched, a ray of golden light suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yang. At this moment, his eyes widened sharply.

"Golden Legend!"

Sometimes he really wanted to hug Little Bone and kiss it, but this little guy was just too shy.

The miracle Little Bone brought was:

[Gluttonous Jade]

Quality: Legend

Effect: Provides a special effect "Greedy as a Glutton" for inlaid equipment.

Introduction: Ever since its eyes were dotted, it has become more and more like that greedy beast.

[Greedy as a Glutton: Effective attacks additionally reduce defense. If there is no defense reduction, then it deals additional damage.]

This was an exceptionally violent legendary jade.

The effects were simple, with only two: reducing the enemy's defense and dealing additional damage after the enemy's defense was completely reduced.

It was perfect for Xiao Yang to use. If he inlaid this Gluttonous Jade onto the Rusted Great Axe, he didn't know how powerful it would be when he wielded the Gluttonous Jade-enhanced Rusted Great Axe to attack the enemy.

However, there was a problem. Holding the lustrous Gluttonous Jade carving in his hand, the epic-tier Rusted Great Axe was inlaid with this golden legendary Gluttonous Jade.

I feel like the Rusted Great Axe is reaching too high.

Xiao Yang thought, his eyes shining.

But now, one thing was certain.

"I've made my money back! I've completely made my money back!"

On the side, Little Bone tilted its head, looking at the happy Xiao Yang. The little guy didn't quite understand why Xiao Yang was happy, but it knew that as long as it gave Xiao Yang what it found, Xiao Yang would be very happy.

The moment of reward was not over yet.

After letting the few howling black wild dogs fall asleep one by one, Xiao Yang walked into the dim cave.

After entering the dark environment, his eyes changed from black to a faint blue. It took a brief one or two seconds to complete the transition from light to darkness. The scene in this dark cave clearly appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

What came into view was a heavy stone coffin, a small pile of black-skinned gourds beside the stone coffin, a prayer mat, and a statue of a multi-eyed Daoist.

The first thing Xiao Yang identified was the small pile of black-skinned gourds. Good news appeared. These were all body-refining corpse fluid, with a quantity of eleven or twelve bottles. Xiao Yang didn't need to worry about his defense attribute. It would soon be pushed to the limit.

Then there was the heavy stone coffin.

The stone coffin was not completely closed, but mostly open. Looking inside along the open part of the heavy stone coffin, a corpse with most of its body submerged in a turbid liquid appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

If he wasn't mistaken, if Xiao Yang's guess wasn't wrong, this turbid liquid was the body-refining corpse fluid.

Hmm... Although Xiao Yang had roughly imagined such a scene from the name, seeing it in person still made him feel strange.

Submerged in the body-refining corpse fluid was the corpse of a young woman. Her stomach was greatly swollen and had a neat cut, with the internal organs missing, leaving her body completely empty.

This was very similar to the Daoist who was parasitized by the Yellow Corpse Ghoul.

Without even making too many guesses, it could basically be determined at a glance that this special situation came from some kind of evil method.

Shaking his head, just as Xiao Yang was about to leave, his gaze swept to the right hand of the submerged corpse. Her right hand seemed to be holding something, clenching it tightly.

This situation caught Xiao Yang's attention.

Although the next action was somewhat offensive, in order not to miss anything important, he reached out to the corpse in the stone coffin.

But unexpectedly, she was holding onto the thing in her right hand extremely tightly.

Xiao Yang wasn't without ways to deal with this situation, but if he really forced it, he would probably break all the fingers of the corpse's right hand.

This situation made him hesitate.
