Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“What’s going on? Wasn’t there supposed to be a monster siege? Where are the monsters?”

Outside the village, the tens of thousands of players who had rushed from far and wide to Ginkgo Village with joyful hearts were instantly dumbfounded seeing the peaceful scene before them.

Aside from a girl in a fiery red mage robe continuously slaughtering a group of players, everyone else had excited expressions as they whispered amongst themselves.

Where the hell was there even a hint of the tense atmosphere of a monster siege?

More importantly, this fucking monster siege – where the hell were the monsters?

“Brother Du Ba, what do you think?”

Zaohao Tianxiu from Tianxiu Guild asked Du Ba Tianxia beside him.

He, Du Ba Tianxia, An Xiang Youlan, and Qi Tun Tianxia had previously been scouting Luoyun City.

So at this moment, they were also among the first batch of players to arrive at Ginkgo Village.

“I don’t know what to make of it, but I have an acquaintance here. I’ll go ask and find out.”

Du Ba Tianxia chuckled and headed towards A Silly Cutie.

“Youlan, what do you think?”

“I don’t know what to make of it either, but I also have an acquaintance here. I’ll go ask and find out~”

An Xiang Youlan imitated Du Ba Tianxia’s tone and followed after him.

Zaohao Tianxiu: “…”

“Qi-”

“Don’t ask me, I have an acquaintance too. I’ll go ask.”

Qi Tun Tianxia and An Xiang Youlan walked towards A Silly Cutie.

“Fuck! Are you the only ones with acquaintances? Don’t I have any?” Zaohao Tianxiu was speechless, but after thinking about it, he realized, “I really fucking don’t.”

“Damn it!”

“I want to see just who your acquaintances are that they’re such a big deal.”

Zaohao Tianxiu also followed after Qi Tun Tianxia.

The other players quickly swarmed the Ginkgo Village players, inquiring about what had happened.

After hearing the villagers’ accounts, the newly-arrived players were all left gaping in shock, as if they had been scared silly.

“What? Repelling a Level 50 Boss in 10 seconds? Over 5,000 Demon Fiend soldiers being scared off by a black skeleton? You’re not joking with me?”

“How is that possible? Are you crazy or am I crazy? Who can do that at this level?”

“If you don’t believe it, forget it. They’re already settling the rewards. What good would it do us to trick you?”

“Exactly. Acting like you’ve never seen anything before. Is repelling a Level 50 Boss in 10 seconds very rare? Oh, it is indeed very rare, but do you need to be so exaggerated?”

“They’re settling the rewards in the village chief’s house right now. Won’t you know when he comes out?”

“Really?”

All the players who had come to reinforce were half-believing and half-doubting as they gathered towards the village chief’s house.

Of course, with tens of thousands of players, there were naturally some who couldn’t wait. Not caring about the crowd, they charged straight towards the village chief’s house.

“Get out of my way! Do you know who we are? We’re from the Dominating the World Guild, ranked 21st on the server’s guild leaderboard. Do you know? Get out of my way!”

Du Ba Tianxia shoved countless players aside as he led a group towards the village chief’s house.

“I want to see just who is so impressive that they can repel 5,000 Demon Fiend soldiers by themselves.”

“Guild Leader, I think it’s all bullshit. These people probably haven’t woken up from a dream. Even with your strength, it’s currently impossible to achieve something like that.”

The group cursed and grumbled as they arrived at the village chief’s house, preparing to forcibly open the door.

…

“A ring?”

Jiang Cheng’s heart stirred as he saw the black ring lying quietly in the box.

The ring was faintly emitting a black aura, and the top had the pattern of a fierce demon dragon.

The demon dragon had its scarlet eyes open and maw agape as if warning him.

In fact, Jiang Cheng indeed sensed an immense dragon pressure continuously shaking his soul.

This dragon pressure seemed to want to shatter his soul and occupy his body.

Moreover, there was a special magic on the ring that made Jiang Cheng unable to shift his gaze away from the dragon’s eyes.

In just a moment, the black flames in Jiang Cheng’s eyes gradually began turning scarlet.

This greatly shocked the Village Chief who had been observing him from the side.

“This…he’s being demonized?!”

Legend said that the stronger the demonic thoughts in one’s heart, the faster they would fall!

But that was for the wearer!

This black skeleton hadn’t even put it on yet…

This skeleton’s demonic thoughts were actually so immense?!

The Village Chief was so scared his soul nearly left his body. He hurriedly wanted to take back the Dragon-Slaying Magic Ring.

But the next moment,

*Roar!*

A dragon’s roar exploded.

All of Ginkgo Village shook from it!

*Boom!*

With a thunderous explosion, the Village Chief’s house was instantly blasted to dust. Countless wooden shards scattered in all directions.

The Village Chief in the house, along with Du Ba Tianxia and the others who had just touched the door, were suddenly blown flying by a frenzied force, instantly blasted 200 meters into the air.

They turned into countless parabolas falling towards the distance.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Accompanied by booming sounds at the same time, Du Ba Tianxia was violently smashed into the ground. His HP instantly dropped to zero as he disappeared.

Within a hundred-meter radius, dust flew and smoke billowed.

Countless newly-arrived players looked towards the center of the dust with shocked gazes, all dumbfounded.

“Holy shit, what happened? Such a huge commotion?”
