Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Jiang Cheng touched his throat bones. “This… seems to be the cervical vertebrae.”

“I don’t have laryngeal bones.”

Though somewhat surprised, Jiang Cheng had to admit this fact. He indeed didn’t have laryngeal bones.

“Then let’s try evolving the teeth bones.”

[Strengthening teeth bones requires 100 enhancement points. Proceed with enhancement?]

[Spending 100 enhancement points, enhancement successful. Attack +10, Strength +1.]

[Spending 200 enhancement points…]

…

“Useless…” After spending 1,000 enhancement points, aside from enhancing 40 points of attack and 10 points of strength, no new functions mutated.

Jiang Cheng was slightly disappointed.

Since it didn’t work, after some thought, he could only strengthen the skull and see if he could enhance mental communication.

[Strengthening the skull requires 100 enhancement points. Proceed with enhancement?]

[Enhancement successful. Spell speed +0.1%, Spirit +1.]

[Spending 200 enhancement points, skull enhancement successful. Spell speed +0.5%, Spirit +5.]

[Insufficient enhancement point balance.]

*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Three arrows shot into the Blood Hell Demon Guard’s skull, exploding with three terrifying damage numbers.

“-2117!”

“-2117!”

“-2118!”

Under the speechless gazes of Qian Chonglang and Dharma Demon…

The Blood Hell Demon Guard crashed to the ground with a resounding *boom*, blasting out countless leaves and soil, spattering Qian Chonglang head to toe with mud.

[Congratulations on slaying the Blood Hell Demon Guard. Obtained 30,000 experience points, 30,000 evolution points, 1,500 enhancement points.]

Jiang Cheng couldn’t be bothered and continued strengthening his skull.

[Spending 300 enhancement points, skull enhancement successful. Spell speed +3%, Spirit +20.]

[Spending 400 enhancement points, skull enhancement successful. Triggered skull mutation evolution, evolved into Skeleton’s Thought. Spell speed +10%, Spirit +50, Mana +300.]

As the enhancement finished, Jiang Cheng found that his mental power seemed a bit different. His vision became even clearer.

His memory also seemed to become clearer. Some long-forgotten childhood memories could be vaguely recalled.

Closing his eyes, the blood-red flames could also faintly perceive movement within a half-meter radius.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly checked the properties of Skeleton’s Thought.

【Skeleton’s Thought】

Overview: Can consume mana to guide simple mental communication with creatures within a 10 cm range. Can perceive movement within a half-meter radius.

“Finally able to communicate.” Jiang Cheng’s heart rejoiced.

It was just this 10 cm range…

Did he have to let A Silly Cutie stick to his body every day?

Pulling A Silly Cutie to his side, amidst her dumbfounded expression, Jiang Cheng used Skeleton’s Thought’s communication ability to say a sentence to her.

“What did you learn just now?”

Zhang Mengmeng’s face was a bit stunned, her breathing very rapid, evidently still in shock.

Having been suddenly brought so close to Jiang Cheng without warning, looking at Jiang Cheng’s blazing blood-red flames, her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.

For a moment, she didn’t notice anything.

“What did I learn? I learned…”

As she spoke, Zhang Mengmeng blanked out.

“Skeleton Big Brother, you… you can talk?”

Her face turned from blankness to surprise, then replaced by excitement.

“That’s great!” Zhang Mengmeng grabbed Jiang Cheng’s arm, ignoring the icy chill invading her body, her face flushed with excitement.

But after waiting for a while, no more of Jiang Cheng’s voice reached her ears, causing her to be a bit stunned again.

“Uh… why aren’t you talking anymore, Skeleton Big Brother? Just now, was it my imagination?”

“You, come closer.” Jiang Cheng pulled her over again.
