There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

Listening to the wailing and howling behind him, facing the swarm of spiders rushing towards him, and seeing the twisted human-headed spider casting its venomous gaze upon him,

bitter expression appeared on Xiao Yang's face.

Xiao Yang began to run once again.

“Running isn’t a bad thing; at least it proclaims that you are still alive.” He thought haphazardly.

Perhaps because his spirit had plummeted too much, Xiao Yang's thoughts inevitably became more scattered. Turning his head, Xiao Yang cast an Appraisal spell on the human-headed spider that was staring at him with a resentful gaze.

Description: Stolen Head.】

“Saintess's Head?”

This human-headed spider clearly had huge problems, both from its name and its description. However, now was not the time to think. In the distance, a cold white flame was launched over in the midst of the human-headed spider's murmurs; it was the human-headed spider's doing.

The cold white flame exploded violently beside Xiao Yang, and a few scattered sparks splashed onto Xiao Yang's body, causing Xiao Yang to jump up abruptly.

Ordinary magic could not have any effective effect on Xiao Yang now; Xiao Yang's elemental resistance was extraordinarily high.

“Damn it, this thing even carries mental damage!”

It was just that this thing's magic seemed to have more than just elemental damage.

Xiao Yang's spirit once again plummeted, now only fifteen points left; this was truly deadly.

When heavens close all doors, a window will open! While sprinting, Xiao Yang saw a point of light in the distance; it was a safe house!

“There’s salvation!”

In his amplified shout, Xiao Yang quickened his pace even more. He was now very grateful that he had maxed out his agility when entering the third level of the Skeleton Dungeon; otherwise, he might not even be able to outrun this huge human-headed spider.

The safe house was very close now. While sprinting, Xiao Yang dodged a few more thrown bone spears, rushed to the entrance of the safe house, lunged in, and then slammed the door shut.

Not completely safe, Xiao Yang leaned against the iron door behind the safe house, holding his breath. Outside the safe house, the human-headed spider was in a state of lingering, just like the Skeleton Knight had been. Safe houses were not so secure against these intelligent monsters.

But fortunately, just like that Skeleton Knight, even though this human-headed spider sensed something was wrong, it still couldn't perceive the existence of the safe house, and could only wander back and forth at the entrance of the safe house.

But this was enough to make people tremble with fear. If he were really caught by this human-headed spider, it might not be as simple as just dying. Just thinking about those withered corpses that were hung high and used as breeding nests, and also served as a combat symphony orchestra…

Xiao Yang didn't want his final fate to be so miserable.

But he didn't expect reality's big slap in the face to come so quickly, almost knocking him senseless.

He was educated by this gatekeeping human-headed spider as soon as he entered the third level of the Skeleton Dungeon.

Even without mentioning those dried corpse symphony orchestras, without mentioning that vast expanse of small spiders, just the existence of that human-headed spider itself was already very difficult to deal with; a level 32 Lord-ranked monster, and it also possessed spells that could directly attack mental attributes.

Xiao Yang really didn't have any defensive abilities against that mental damage, which made Xiao Yang feel even more gloomy in his heart.

“This is only the third level!”

Xiao Yang called out in a low voice in this safe house with a headache.

To deal with this human-headed spider, he had to be able to cope with that mental attack, but Xiao Yang had no clue about this at all.

His thoughts drifted for a long time, and Xiao Yang still couldn't think of any good way to deal with that mental attack, and indulged in wild thoughts with too low mental attributes.

The Lamp of Hope projected a soft, warm light. In this light, Xiao Yang's critical mental attributes slowly recovered, and his restless heart also gradually calmed down.

“Since things have come to this, let’s choose a reward!”

If he couldn't get an answer, then he wouldn't think about it. He would choose the Dungeon Delver's reward first.

Just as Xiao Yang made this announcement, suddenly, there was a bang outside, which startled Xiao Yang. He quickly got up and observed through the small window on the safe house door to see what had happened.

Xiao Yang saw the human-headed spider falling from the sky.

This thing was even playing tactics, pretending to leave just now and launching a feint.

In response, Xiao Yang gritted his teeth and made a harsh statement.

“One day I will pull your head off!”

Temporarily helpless, since things have come to this, let's continue choosing rewards!

The exploration reward for the third level of this Skeleton Dungeon was much better than the reward for the second level of the Skeleton Dungeon.

But this was not surprising. After all, what Xiao Yang encountered as soon as he entered this third level was a level 32 Lord-ranked magic-type monster. If there was no good reward for such a difficult start, it would be really unreasonable.

Two purple items and a purple box.

They were respectively.

【Giant Cave Spider

Quality: Epic

Type: Mount

Effect: Summons a rideable Giant Cave Spider

Description: This is a large, excellent, climbing spider.】

【Soothing Sandalwood

Quality: Epic

Type: Consumable

Effect: Calms the mind and soothes the spirit

Description: A pungent fragrance, with a lingering spicy aftertaste.】

Xiao Yang gave up choosing the gift box. The two items given in this exploration reward were very good. The Giant Cave Spider could make Xiao Yang more comfortable when dealing with some special situations. It was a good thing, but unfortunately, what was more important to Xiao Yang now was something that protected his spirit.

Xiao Yang chose Soothing Sandalwood in this exploration reward.
