He's Practically a God of War!

At the end of another passage, Xiao Yang confirmed this unfortunate news. Before him appeared an identical broken passage. He tossed another torch into the crack ahead. Unlike the broken passage on the other side, this one seemed to have a platform below.

It was a recessed area, piled with a large amount of broken stone bricks, cracks in the broken walls, and a mess of miscellaneous debris. Xiao Yang, with his sharp eyes, spotted a partially exposed iron treasure chest amidst the ruins, bricks, and debris.

It was a shame, though. Although the protruding platform was directly below Xiao Yang and seemed easy to reach, after he casually tossed a stone down, it took a good two to three seconds for it to finally land.

At least twenty meters high. Such a height was daunting. It was clear that the platform wasn't that easy to reach.

Lacking some handy tools, Xiao Yang remembered seeing pairs of climbing picks for sale in the Myriad Worlds Trading Area. That's exactly what he needed now: a pair. For now, he'd have to retreat.

The second level of the Skeleton Dungeon wasn't as complicated as the first. At least for now, there were only three paths. Xiao Yang had already confirmed that two of them were dead ends. Now, only one choice remained.

That was to charge into the small plaza where the skeleton army was entrenched! Xiao Yang was very familiar with this kind of task. Fortunately, he had already dealt with the biggest trouble in the skeleton army right at the beginning: the Skeleton Knight with the ability to command the undead.

Xiao Yang tossed a torch towards the small plaza, and instantly, the dazed Skeleton Warriors standing there all turned their heads in unison. These Skeleton Warriors were not as easy to deal with as the Prisoner Zombies. They seemed to have a hatred chain mechanism. Xiao Yang couldn't pull them apart individually; they charged together and retreated together.

In this situation, the Undead Knight's death seemed quite unjust. Sometimes, higher intelligence wasn't entirely a good thing. If the Undead Knight hadn't been loitering outside the Safe House but had retreated with the other Skeleton Warriors, Xiao Yang probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.

But clearly, with his degree of intelligence, he sensed something was wrong when Xiao Yang suddenly disappeared and chose to patrol back and forth where Xiao Yang had vanished.

Such cleverness naturally came with a reward.

The reward was being ambushed by Xiao Yang, who was wildly swinging Justice's Condolence, and being beaten to death with a club, sent straight to heaven.

Subsequently, things repeated themselves with these dazed Skeleton Warriors.

Lure aggro, disengage in the Safe House, then ambush, repeat.

This could be considered exploiting a bug, but how could the bugs in the God Game be called exploits? This was called making good use of the mechanics.

Thus, this large group of leaderless Skeleton Warriors was dragged around by Xiao Yang in this passage like simpletons, surging madly, chasing Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang would duck into the Safe House, lose his enemies, and gradually retreat. Xiao Yang would reappear, launch an ambush, and the Skeleton Warriors would surge madly again, milling back and forth endlessly in this passage, their numbers constantly decreasing.

With each ambush, Xiao Yang could kill three or four Skeleton Warriors. After several repetitions, the ground of the passage was already piled high with the skeletons of Skeleton Warriors, making Xiao Yang breathless, his hands trembling from the constant heavy strikes.

But the rewards were excellent.

Not to mention the various Large Bone Clubs, the weapons on the skeletons themselves were generally of Fine green quality, with damage ranging from six to eight. Among them, the Rusty Sabers dropped by the saber-wielding skeletons had bleeding and tearing effects, while the bone spears held by the spear-wielding skeletons came with five penetration.

In just this one day, with Xiao Yang's hands numb from striking, these Skeleton Warriors dropped five or six Rusty Sabers and Bone Spears. Xiao Yang kept one of each type of weapon and planned to sell the rest at the next Myriad Realms Trading.

With the opening of new large-scale campaigns, it wasn't just various potions that saw the most severe price increases. Various weapons and equipment were the real drivers of the surge. Normally, although the additional effects of these Rusty Sabers and Bone Spears were good, they were still green Fine quality equipment, and at most, they would sell for fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Coins.

But during the critical period of preparing for a large-scale campaign, the situation was completely different. Now, a green weapon like this would at least quadruple in price, selling for over two hundred thousand!

This meant that Xiao Yang's earnings from just this one day could potentially be worth over a million Spirit Coins.

And this wasn't even the end. With so many Skeleton Warriors in the small plaza, after this wave, Xiao Yang couldn't even imagine how many Spirit Coins he would earn in the next Myriad Realms Trading. He was truly benefiting from the war!

Of course, weapon profits weren't the only gains Xiao Yang could get from the Skeleton Warriors.

In the following days, Xiao Yang found the efficiency of repeatedly dragging and ambushing too low. He switched to a different method of farming monsters. Standing at the entrance of the Safe House, he directly fought the Skeleton Warriors surging towards him.

In this narrow passage, the advantage of numbers was minimized, and the Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Crossbowmen couldn't be effectively utilized. Relying on his high resistances and exaggerated Health, Xiao Yang, standing at the entrance of the Safe House, was like a true God of War.

He fought from morning till night, exuding an aura of "one man holding the pass, ten thousand men unable to get through." Although this "ten thousand men unable to get through" wasn't sustainable, and his Health dropped quickly when surrounded by too many Skeleton Warriors, for safety's sake, Xiao Yang would retreat to the Safe House to recuperate when his Health fell below half, that is, below one hundred.

At this point, the World Membrane (Health), an Epic-grade treasure, could be put to use.

No matter how much Health Xiao Yang lost, it would restore 10% of his Health every minute.

This meant that no matter what kind of damage he took, Xiao Yang could essentially get back on his feet in about ten minutes. With the boost from the World Membrane (Health), Xiao Yang's consecutive combat ability was terrifyingly extreme.

As long as his stamina and spirit could keep up, he could fight continuously, and in reality, that's exactly what he did.

Xiao Yang was practically going crazy fighting Skeleton Warriors these past few days, fighting relentlessly, grinding day and night. The results were significant. In just a few days, the originally dense Skeleton Warriors in the small plaza had become sparse, and it wouldn't be long before Xiao Yang cleared the area.
