Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution - Chapter 399

“Um, this giant python really lost face. Was it really a level 100 monster…?”

A Silly Cutie truly lived up to being a girl with skipping thoughts.

Just moments ago she’d been emotional, but seeing Jiang Cheng kill the level 100 python with one strike, her little face immediately showed surprise.

While other players were still proud of killing monsters one level above them, her boyfriend was already managing forty-seven levels higher…

And with a one-hit kill…

The gap was just too enormous.

Though it was just a common monster at level 100, it still needed some dignity…

A Silly Cutie dismounted and hid behind Jiang Cheng, checking the attributes of the other pythons.

【Yellow Cloud Giant Python】

Level: 100

HP: 80,000

MP: 10,000

Attack: 1,100-1,200

Defense: 1,200-1,500

Skills: Devour, Tail Sweep, Strong Whip

Talents: Poison Fang, Deep Red Eye

Overview: A giant mountain python of Yellow Cloud Mountain with immense strength. Do not provoke carelessly.

“Eighty thousand HP, gone just like that…”

With 1,500 defense, it died too quickly.

“Mengmeng, you’ve been with me so long, but lately you seem to have gotten lazy.”

Jiang Cheng’s blade fell again as another python crashed down.

“Um… not really, I’ve been practicing my footwork, look.” A Silly Cutie hopped around on the python’s corpse to demonstrate her practice.

Jiang Cheng could only remain speechless at this.

“You win.”

*Slash*

Another strike fell, and extraordinarily, it didn’t trigger a critical hit.

But Jiang Cheng used Momentum Flash Strike, and while flying back, followed up with another strike to finish it off.

Each Yellow Cloud Giant Python gave him 5,700 Evolution Points and 57 Soul Power.

Jiang Cheng realized that sometimes, the rewards from killing higher-level monsters exceeded those from Bosses.

Of course, currently in The Great Wasteland, practically no players could achieve this level of power.

Jiang Cheng checked the experience needed to level up after level 53.

Before level 50, it was mainly based on the current level times a million experience, increasing by 100,000 each level.

Level 40 needed 4 million, level 41 needed 4.1 million, level 42 needed 4.2 million, and so on.

But after level 50, it jumped to tens of millions.

Now at level 53, he needed 53 million experience to reach level 54.

Level 50 seemed to be a major threshold.

“I really am trying hard, you know.”

A Silly Cutie said somewhat pitifully.

“I know.” Jiang Cheng struck down with his blade, fired five connected arrows that transformed into azure chains, and as the chains contracted, he appeared beneath another giant python eight meters away, striking down again.

For the newly evolved Jiang Cheng, level 100 monsters truly meant nothing.

Though other players might currently find them difficult.

For Jiang Cheng, just triggering a critical hit could one-shot their 80,000 HP with a normal attack.

Mixed Element Blood Slash had evolved into Nether Blade Blood Slash, increasing from 18% to 20% blood drain.

At the same time, Critical Strike evolved into Nether Blade Critical Strike, with an increased trigger rate of 8%, adding 0.8 seconds of stun and 1 second of heavy injury effect.

Thus, Jiang Cheng didn’t need to replenish HP.

He just kept killing all the way to Hazy Cloud Peak.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng’s luck seemed poor along the way. After killing over seven hundred pythons, Plunder hadn’t triggered once.

Even the Necronomicon’s passive resurrection effect hadn’t appeared even once.

The monsters at Hazy Cloud Peak were much higher level.

Especially at a cliff below Hazy Cloud Peak, there was a natural deep pool with many Armored Giant Crocodiles.

【Armored Giant Crocodile】

Level: 150

HP: 300,000

MP: 300,000

Attack: 500-500

Defense: 3,250-3,550

Magic Defense: 3,250-3,550

Skills: Armor Hardening, Mountain Shake, Heart Strike

Talents: Steel Armor, Hardened Skin

Overview: Giant crocodiles of Hazy Cloud Peak with shocking defense. Ordinary people can’t handle them.

“Skills and talents aren’t very good.” Jiang Cheng was somewhat disappointed.

Though he knew there were level 150 monsters here, he hadn’t known their specific attributes.

After seeing them, he wasn’t very interested in the crocodiles.

No need to use Plunder.

“Let’s see the experience. Killing monsters 97 levels higher, will there be even more bonuses?”

“Mengmeng, wait up here, I’ll be right back.”

“Okay, good luck husband.” A Silly Cutie nodded obediently.

She had witnessed too many of Jiang Cheng’s miracles, so him killing level 150 monsters didn’t surprise her much anymore.

Though the crocodiles had high defense, she believed her boyfriend would definitely find a way.

*Whoosh*

Golden wings spread as a streak of light descended from the sky.

*Clang*

An azure light transformed into a blade strike, falling on an Armored Giant Crocodile’s head.

…

Four in the morning.

Pingnan Castle.

Bone Duke Pingnan had risen early from his large bed.

Today was the day to attack Luoyun City and establish merit.

He had been too excited to sleep last night, only managing to rest after battling all night with his two Bone Duchesses.

But even now, he remained energetic.

“My lord, you’re heading to battle today?”

The First Bone Duchess nestled behind Bone Duke Pingnan, speaking tenderly.

“Haha, indeed! Your husband will establish great merit today and rise to the rank of Marquis.”

The Skeleton Kingdom’s status system used noble ranks for promotion after reaching certain levels.

Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron.

He was currently only an Earl.

If he succeeded in this operation, promotion to Marquis seemed likely.

“Wow, my lord is amazing. Doesn’t that mean we’ll become Marchionesses?”

Both of Bone Duke’s wives brightened simultaneously.

“Of course! With your husband taking the field, victory is certain. Both duchesses, immediately prepare the feast to welcome your husband’s triumphant return!”

“My lord shouldn’t celebrate too early.” Amid their joy, an ill-timed voice spoke up.

Bone Duke Pingnan’s brow bones furrowed, but seeing it was his newly acquired Third Wife, he relaxed somewhat.

This Third Wife had been forcibly taken from another skeleton, so she certainly hated him. Pingnan wasn’t surprised she would say such things.

He raised his hand to stop the other two wives’ scolding and spoke calmly.

“Ah, Ningzhi. I know you’re still angry with me, but before a military campaign, such inauspicious words are inappropriate. You’d better control yourself.”

“Control myself? Hmph, why didn’t you show any control when you forced your way into my home?”

The Third Wife showed clear displeasure. “Preparing a victory feast so early? Hmph, I fear your victory celebration will turn into a funeral. Your fine victory feast will become a wake.”
