Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“What happened? Did the reward explode?”

“That Dominato- no, Du Ba Tianxia, seems to have died.”

“Hahahaha, he deserved to die.”

“The Village…the Village Chief…seems to have died too…”

The moment these words were spoken, the gloating laughter suddenly ceased, and all of Ginkgo Village fell into silence.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the previous village chief’s house, even subconsciously holding their breaths.

At the same time, their hearts felt a faint tremor, as if some peerless ferocious beast was about to burst out from the ground!

Although the dust had dissipated, the village chief’s house was now shrouded in a black aura.

This black aura carried a certain evil aura, seeming to possess a kind of magic.

If one looked at it for more than a glance, their mind would involuntarily conjure up bloody scenes.

Soon after, a murderous impulse would rise in their hearts.

Players who couldn’t evade in time were enveloped by the black aura.

To everyone’s shock, they were instantly corroded by the sinister miasma.

The players didn’t even have a chance to let out a miserable cry.

Their flesh and blood melted away from their bodies like candle wax, dissolving into the ground, leaving behind only skeletons.

“This black aura is deadly!”

“Damn, that was way too horrifying. Playing a game nearly gave me a heart attack!”

*Roar!*

After the players had just escaped in a panic, another dragon’s roar came from the enveloping black aura.

The crowd looked carefully and discovered two flowing red lights faintly visible in the black aura, appearing and disappearing.

The red lights, larger than lanterns, were like the eyes of some primordial ferocious beast, constantly moving about.

Within the black aura, something also seemed to be squirming its body.

[System Notification: The Dragon-Slaying Magic Ring’s exclusive quest has been triggered – Subdue the Demon Dragon’s Soul.]

Jiang Cheng, in the midst of the black aura, received the system notification.

The scarlet flames in his eye sockets gradually returned to their black and white colors.

“Give up and become a slave to the magic ring!”

“Succumb to darkness and dwell with me for eternity.”

“For a thousand years, no force in this world has rivaled the Demon Dragon’s might.”

After the system notification, three more voices resounded in Jiang Cheng’s soul.

Then came the endless persuasions, telling him not to resist and to obediently submit to the Demon Dragon.

However, Jiang Cheng remained unmoved. The flames in his pupils slightly condensed. “Ring spirits?”

The moment he said this, the air fell silent for a while, and the endless persuasions also stopped.

Then, the Dragon-Slaying Magic Ring lying quietly on the ground filled with black aura suddenly emitted three pale blue souls.

“A special undead. You can actually see through our identities?”

“Father, it doesn’t matter. No matter how special an undead is, they can’t subdue the Demon Dragon. It’s just one more soul to accompany us.”

“His soul fire is unusual. Without wearing the magic ring, he has already activated the Demon Dragon’s will. Perhaps…”

“No perhaps. When you inherited the Dragon-Slaying Magic Ring back then, I also thought you were special.”

“…”

“Can we not talk about this in front of our new friend? Let’s discuss it privately.”

The three soul entities were chatting in midair, seeming to have known each other for quite a long time.

But the information revealed in their words was all despair and sighs.

However, Jiang Cheng couldn’t be bothered. He waved his bony hand and stared at the Frost Disaster in his hand, lowering his head to ask, “To what extent will my strength be enhanced?”

The reason he said this was because he discovered that while in the black aura, his strength, spirit, speed, attack power, and defense were all rapidly increasing.

He just wasn’t sure to what extent they could increase.

“It’s useless, undead. You are now in a secret realm. The secret realm’s Dark Suspended Qi will temporarily activate all your potential, bringing you to your peak state.”

“Unfortunately, even if an undead like you is at your peak, how can you compare to a Demon Dragon that has lived for thousands of years?”

“Undead, give up. Back then, I was also very confident that as long as I reached my peak, the Demon Dragon would definitely be no match for me. Later…”

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng’s mind stirred. “You mean the Dark Suspended Qi will enhance me to my strongest state?”

Without waiting for the three spirits to speak, Jiang Cheng chuckled. The Sky Assault Armor activated, transforming the weapon in his hand into a chilling long spear. “When will the Demon Dragon appear?”
