Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Upon dying, Jiang Cheng ended up reincarnating into a game world as a skeleton summon that had been revived by a female player using necromancy. What’s a skeleton summon, you may ask? That’s a type of skeleton that’s even worse than cannon fodder! But thankfully, he was lucky enough to get a limitless evolutionary system to assist him! That was the moment when a godly skeleton that kills players and wreaks havoc among the NPCs was unleashed into the game.

Chapter 2: Starts to evolve

"Snap!"

"Crit!"

"-57!"

A bright red crit number floated out, startling Zhang Mengmeng.

The explosive bone sword triggered a crit, dealing double damage. The neck is automatically considered a critical hit, resulting in double damage, which stacked to three times!

The zombified wolf with only 50 HP was killed directly, even surpassing by 7 HP!

[Congratulations on killing the skeleton wolf and gaining ten experience points.]

[Gained 10 evolution points.]

[Congratulations on leveling up to level two, increasing HP, attack, and defense.]

'I can actually earn experience and level up like a player?!' Jiang Cheng thought dumbfounded.

Evolution points can make it evolve itself, strengthening points can make it enhance its weapons, and experience points can make it level up just like the player.

This means there are three ways to improve! Although the increase in power is not significant each time it levels up, that's just in the early stage.

When the player reaches level ten, the attribute points will double, and the number of attributes gained will continue to increase.

'This summoned creature is even more powerful than the player's template! 'Pfft hahaha!' Jiang Cheng inwardly laugh.

Another heavy slash, with the high attack bonus of the explosive bone sword.

"-20."

A damage of 20 hit points and the other skeletal wolf's health directly decreased by about half. Although this time there was no critical hit and no vital strike, it was still incredibly fierce.

This scene immediately startled Zhang Mengmeng.

"Oh my goodness, this skeleton is too fierce, isn't it?"

With one slash, it delivered a critical hit, dealing 57 points of damage, and slaying a zombified wolf!

'Then with another slash, a normal attack without triggering a critical hit or hitting a vital point, it surprisingly still dealt 20 points of damage?' Zhang Mengmeng thought.

And looking at the damage inflicted by the other skeletons she summoned.

"-1."

"-2."

"-1."

'It's simply unbearable, I can't bear to watch.' Zhang Mengmeng exclaimed at her summon skeleton inwardly.

Zhang Mengmeng shifted her gaze to her other summon skeleton, bewildered. "Has this skeleton mutated or something? I've been playing games for so long and I've never encountered this situation!"

Zhang Mengmeng marveled, "57 damage, this is ten times higher than the damage of those warrior players at this stage!" Excitement filled her as she realize the unique strength of her skeleton.

"His sword... it's really something else." Zhang Mengmeng muttered and amazed.

Not understanding the situation, she quickly logged into the game forum to check out player strategies.

As a global game, even though It has just started, there were already thousands of posts on the forum within the first ten minutes of the server opening.

But after searching for a while, Zhang Mengmeng couldn't find the information she was looking for.

However, she did come across some speculative posts on the forum.

To put it simply, anything is possible in the game...

However Zhang Mengmeng became a little frustrated after several minutes of searching.

"Damn it, it's like they're saying nothing at all..."

After browsing through the posts, Zhang Mengmeng still couldn't find the answer she was looking for.

But she knows deep down that this skeleton has definitely mutated! It's not just his sword that's the problem, even his way of killing monsters is off.

After carefully observing Jiang Cheng's process of killing Zombified Wolves, Zhang Mengmeng noticed that he always intentionally or unintentionally strikes at the neck of the skeleton wolf.

The neck is the weak spot for Zombified Wolves, and hitting it causes different damage compared to other areas.

Jiang Cheng always tries to aim for the neck of the skeleton wolf every time, and he manages to hit it with at least five out of ten strikes.

This is probably because the summoned skeletons have a slow attack speed.

You know, the speed of Zombified Wolf is much faster than Skeleton Soldiers. Normally, Skeleton Soldiers can only hit with one slash, but the Zombified Wolf can bite and cause two damages.

Usually, Skeleton Soldiers may not hit with one out of ten slashes, but Jiangcheng can hit with about five out of ten slashes.

'This is definitely not a coincidence!

This is a Skeleton Soldier with thoughts and combat experience!' Zhang Mengmeng thought.

"-42!"

"Crack!"

[Congratulations, you've gained 10 evolution points.]

[Congratulations, you've gained 10 experience points.]

[Congratulations, your level has increased, gaining 10 health points, attack, and defense.]

Another Zombified Wolf was killed by him with a critical hit. Jiangcheng has already killed ten Zombified Wolves and his level has also increased to level three. However, he didn't go on to kill more, but instead retreated.

This is because all the cannon fodder skeleton soldiers who fought with him died.

Some died because they were killed by the Zombified Wolves, and some automatically disintegrated when their summoning time was up.

Jiangcheng was pleasantly surprised to find that he didn't disintegrate due to the summoning time restriction, it seems he has surpassed the category of ordinary summons.

However, the reason he retreated was not just because of that.

It was because he realized that his speed was too slow! It was so frustratingly slow that it took him three seconds just to swing his sword...

Earlier, he had to hide behind those cannon fodder skeletons in order to kill the Zombified Wolf.

Now, even a small cute summoned cannon fodder skeleton is dead. It wouldn't be very rewarding for him to go and kill Zombified Wolves again.

His defense is not high, once he is surrounded, it is highly likely that he will be killed.

After thinking about it, he checks his own attributes, to see if he can evolve.
