Prisoner Zombies

"Hey! Latecomer! This dungeon doesn't seem as simple as it looks. Oh, right, remember to avoid that rumbling Bone Ball. Some secrets seem to be buried in this hidden area. Perhaps I should leave behind some clues, and some help.

Red, white, and black!

Don't be afraid of zombies; they're just slow, old cured meats that fear fire!

Oh, and there's a pair of leather boots on the table. I found them when I first arrived here. Take them if you can use them!

Adventurer: Robert"

Robert is truly a good person, Xiao Yang exclaimed.

After resting briefly in the Safe House, it was time to continue exploring. Xiao Yang pulled open the door. Not far down the corridor outside the Safe House, a small hole appeared in the wall. That was Xiao Yang's target.

The Safe House was indeed comfortable, but he couldn't get stuck in it. Primarily, food and water were running low. So, he decided not to drag things out.

Seizing the moment between the Bone Ball's whistling passes, Xiao Yang burst out of the Safe House. The buzzing roar and vibration returned from behind him, clearly indicating the Bone Ball had targeted him.

Xiao Yang wasn't overly panicked by this charge. He had already estimated his chances when he ran out. His agility of nine was sufficient for him to reach his destination successfully before the Bone Ball crushed him.

Of course, estimations were one thing, but being chased relentlessly by that monstrous Bone Ball would still make anyone nervous and fearful.

He made it! Xiao Yang lunged forward, diving into the dark hole. Fortunately, this hole wasn't just an indentation in the wall; it connected to a dimly lit prison cell.

The Bone Ball whizzed past Xiao Yang. As they crossed paths, the skeletons piled on the sphere seemed to notice Xiao Yang and desperately swung their arms, trying to grab him, but to no avail.

Getting up from the ground, the Dark Dispelling Lantern at Xiao Yang's waist illuminated the dim room. He looked around, realizing he had entered a prison cell.

It was a small room with a pile of straw, a decaying wooden door, and an indescribable smell of rot.

Suddenly, a sound echoed in the room. Xiao Yang's breathing was still a bit rapid, not having fully recovered from the recent sprint, but the enemy wouldn't wait for him to be ready.

A new battle was about to begin as a half-rotten corpse shakily rose from the ground.

[Prisoner Zombie
Race: Undead
Rank: Normal
Level: 10
Health: 80
Attack: 6
Defense: 2
Agility: 2
Traits: Undead Body, Undead Toxin.
Description: A common prisoner who became an unintelligent zombie in an accident.]

He cast a Scan spell. Fortunately, this time, the gap between Xiao Yang and the Prisoner Zombie wasn't unimaginably large. Xiao Yang obtained much of its information, but how to put it...

Just looking at this stat panel made his teeth ache!

It had no other notable characteristics. Not only was it slow, but its defense was no higher than those skeletons. Its main feature was its high health – eighty points. How long would it take Xiao Yang to chop it down with his Wilderness Hatchet, which only had six attack power!

As soon as he entered this hidden map, the difficulty immediately increased. Even the normal mobs in hidden areas weren't easy to deal with!

Xiao Yang swung his hatchet at the Prisoner Zombie. The flesh felt good, without the jarring sensation of hitting skeleton frames, but it didn't deal much damage.

With only six attack power, reduced by two points of defense, the Prisoner Zombie's head only showed a meager four damage. It still had seventy-six health remaining.

Despite the flesh and blood flying from his swing, it only dealt that much damage. If it weren't for his overwhelming agility, making him incredibly nimble, he didn't know how much trouble he'd be in facing this Prisoner Zombie.

High health, decent attack, and Undead Toxin. Although its reaction was a bit slow, it was durable.

Enemies like this would be difficult for anyone who didn't have Xiao Yang's superior agility. At this moment, the Heavy Strike he obtained from the skeletons came in handy. He nimbly dodged a bite from the Prisoner Zombie. In the narrow cell, Xiao Yang's dodging posture resembled a giant flea.

He unleashed a Heavy Strike, powerfully cleaving the zombie's head. The blow took off a significant portion of the zombie's head, but not even a critical hit popped up.

All that appeared was an unremarkable number: ten.

"These undead are really troublesome!"

The skeletons were manageable; at least he could target their joints. But zombies had no obvious weak points. They feared fire, but Xiao Yang didn't have any fire-based weapons.

With one axe swing after another, it took Xiao Yang quite some time to finally bring the zombie down. As its last bit of life was depleted, the zombie was killed by Xiao Yang.

The level ten zombie dropped nothing, making Xiao Yang's panting expression contort. He felt like chopping these zombies consumed more energy than the rewards were worth, until a crisp sound rang out.

He leveled up.

Well, perhaps not entirely. After all, as a Player, what could be more satisfying than leveling up!

Breathing heavily, he approached the door of the empty prison cell. Peeking through the small window in the decaying wooden door, he saw that it was indeed a prison.

Outside the cell, identical rooms stretched into view. Perhaps the commotion from Xiao Yang's recent battle was too loud, as low growls began to emanate from the surrounding cells. Many rooms contained zombies.

These zombies were indeed troublesome and difficult monsters, but on the principle of not wasting anything, Xiao Yang would deal with them properly. Although there was some risk, it might be enough to grind levels and improve himself.

He allocated his post-level-up stat points to agility, reaching ten agility – the key to grinding levels. However, ten agility was enough for now. For his next stat points, Xiao Yang wanted to significantly boost his health attribute; ten health was too low.

As he pondered this, behind him, in the corridor beyond the small hole, the Bone Ball whistled past once more. Although living in the Skeleton Dungeon meant poor food and no comfort, he had to admit, it was quite interesting.

Of course, Xiao Yang didn't consider himself a pervert or a masochist. He simply enjoyed the feeling of improving himself bit by bit. After all, what he was experiencing was the genuine Real Life Online, the God Game. Except for the fact that death was permanent, everything else was fantastic.

Who says this game isn't good? This game is absolutely amazing!
