Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1200 - 1116: The Fisherman Benefits

"Everyone, go do your own thing. This Bone-eating Beast is a special pet. Don’t waste this precious opportunity to capture it."

The female mage dismissed everyone and let out a long sigh herself, her expression complex as she glanced at the altar before logging off as well.

The space fell into a silence as still as death, devoid of the slightest hint of life.

Two more minutes passed, and a player cloaked in a black robe riding a wolf-dog appeared. Without a doubt, it was Su Ran.

"Hey, luck is really on my side, just found a free evolution opportunity!"

He chuckled to himself, having intended to cause Han Siying some trouble, but he had stumbled upon such a great chance—he simply couldn’t let it slide!

The entire tracking process was rather coincidental. After mounting Wang Cai, Su Ran followed the direction Han Siying had taken off in, just in time to witness several players spread out as lookouts.

Just as he planned to detour around them, to his surprise, these scattered players regrouped and headed southwest. This move left Su Ran puzzled, unable to understand what they were up to.

After a good while, he trailed them to Bone Mountain. The entrance was blocked by these dozens of people, seemingly too tight for even a fly to enter.

He had intended to dig a passage behind Bone Mountain, but never expected that this group would once again give him the green light, generously opening the door for him. The players abandoned their post at the entrance and rushed into the cave.

Su Ran had no intention of letting such a great opportunity slip by. After the cave had quieted down, he rode Wang Cai in, smoothly reaching the altar. Using Wang Cai’s Luck Concealment skill to remain invisible, he caught up with the players ahead, eager to understand what Han Siying was up to inside.

But this pursuit led him to witness the moment Zhang Meng was counter-killed. Especially upon seeing the female mage take out that black Energy Stone, Su Ran’s mind raced with possibilities.

This evolution opportunity for the pet was extremely rare—he had to seize it!

But,

he had only ten minutes of invisibility, and being alone, what chances could he have once visibility returned?

In such a case, time became exceedingly precious. If he could get Han Siying to place the Energy Stone within those few precious minutes, only then would he have a chance to make his move!

As it turned out, Han Siying was commendably efficient, taking less than five minutes to successfully place the Energy Stone on the altar.

"Now’s my chance!"

Su Ran charged forward on Wang Cai. Before the Bone-eating Beast could reach the altar, he snatched the Energy Stone and quickly stowed it in his pouch, dashing out of the altar in a puff of smoke.

With the treasure in hand, Su Ran’s worries dissipated. He had planned to leave the area temporarily and return to the altar when it was deserted, but he hadn’t expected that with Han Siying logging off, everyone would leave the place.

"That’s very kind of you, Classmate Han—such a good person!"

Seeing Han Siying’s cooperation, Su Ran sincerely thanked her before hopping down from Wang Cai and striding up to the altar, unhesitatingly embedding the Dark Energy Stone into it.

"Swoosh."

The altar reactivated, its black light flickering, emanating a sense of the unknown and mysterious.

"A Darkness-type pet..."

Not wanting to waste any more time, Su Ran thought for a moment and summoned his little zombie, letting it jump into the altar.

But before Su Ran could get his hopes up, a system notification came through, chilling his heart in an instant.

"Ding! As this is a mid-level altar, it cannot evolve Dark Gold Rank pets or special pets. Please note that the success rate of evolving Gold pets is merely 30%, and the Energy Stone will disappear regardless of whether the evolution is successful or not."

"Damn, I thought this was a big opportunity, but the restrictions are so severe, this is trouble!"

Su Ran couldn’t help but feel disappointed, the altar’s limitations directly eliminating most of his pets from evolving. Only the Bone Centipede met the altar’s criteria—quite harsh indeed.

Yet,

he had intended to use the Bone Centipede as a secondary pet for Fusion. If he elevated it to the Dark Gold Rank, it would significantly increase the chances of the Fusion failing, which seemed like a loss.

Moreover, with only a 30% success rate for evolving Gold pets, such a precious opportunity was not worth the risk.

But if even the skeletal centipede is ruled out, there really isn’t any pet worth showing off.

What a hassle!

However.

Just as Su Ran felt conflicted, a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind. Could his doppelganger, the Dark Bone Lion, also be a viable candidate?

But another problem arose.

Could a pet summoned by a skill withstand this evolutionary ritual?

What the heck, you never know until you try!

With the mindset that he might waste this opportunity for evolution, Su Ran summoned the Dark Bone Lion and let it enter the altar.

"It must succeed..."

As Su Ran couldn’t help but pray aloud, after waiting for about ten seconds, with no system prompt, his hanging heart finally settled back down.

"As expected, this Magic Technique doppelganger truly is extraordinary. The system still takes good care of me, hehe!"

As for the Summon Undead skill, Su Ran hadn’t even considered it. After all, this was a single pet evolution altar. Sending ten skeletons in at once would be completely nonsensical, wouldn’t it?

"Phew, it’s finally over!"

Lady Luck was still on Su Ran’s side. No one came to disturb him while the Dark Bone Lion was evolving. After fulfilling its purpose, the altar turned into a beam of light and vanished into the space.

As the light dissipated, a majestic bone eagle soared into the sky, its crisp screeching echoing throughout the entire space, instantly making Su Ran feel clear-headed and invigorated.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, the doppelganger Dark Bone Lion has evolved successfully. Please, player, rename it."

The pleasant system notification sounded, giving Su Ran a jolt of excitement.

"Wahaha, it evolved into a bone eagle; my luck really isn’t half bad! Since the doppelganger belongs to the dark lineage, let’s continue to call it the Dark Bone Eagle!"

Su Ran, unable to contain his joy, completed the naming process and immediately checked the attributes of the bone eagle.
