Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1643 - 1448: Evolution Complete

"Bone sphere? What kind of treasure is this?"

Piaoxue encountered this strange object for the first time and was quite astonished. "Why open it? Give it to me instead. I can use it to pass time by fiddling with it—how nice!"

"Give it to you? Sure, go ahead and take it if you can!"

Su Ran was momentarily stunned by this, a peculiar look crossing his face. Even though the bone sphere didn’t look impressive, it was, after all, his summoned doppelganger. Its loyalty was unwavering, so the prospect of someone stealing it was absolutely impossible!

"You said it, don’t regret it!"

Piaoxue immediately became intrigued, grabbing the bone sphere and attempting to shove it into his bag. However, to his dismay, the sphere bounced right back out, rolling back to Su Ran’s feet with a clattering sound.

"How strange. What exactly is this thing? Even the system encyclopedia can’t explain it—I’ve never seen anything like it before!"

After checking the system’s database, he still came up empty-handed.

"Don’t ask me; I have no idea what species it is either."

Su Ran laughed, shaking his head, and pointed at the bone sphere. "If I told you it’s my pet, would you believe me?"

"Stop spouting nonsense. If this thing counts as a pet, I’ll write my name backward!"

Piaoxue looked utterly unconvinced. This object showed no signs of life whatsoever—how could it be considered a pet?

What a ridiculous joke!

"That’s what you said."

Su Ran chuckled slyly. "Then I might just call you Xue Piao from now on. Go ahead—pit your Black Eagle against my bone sphere. You never know, your Black Eagle might not stand a chance!"

At that, Su Ran couldn’t help reminiscing about his Dark Bone Eagle. Looking at the stubborn, unyielding bone sphere, he sighed inwardly. The evolutionary process for his doppelganger was irreversible—it could never go back to being the Bone Eagle.

"Little Eagle, attack! Teach that bone sphere a lesson!"

Piaoxue’s competitive streak flared as he commanded the Black Eagle to charge at the bone sphere. He even threw a taunt at Su Ran: "Back up, Overturning Water, unless you want to get bone shards all over yourself!"

"..."

Su Ran kept silent. Deep down, he almost hoped the bone sphere would shatter quickly. Only then could he uncover what kind of monstrosity it was gestating. Surely, it couldn’t be hiding something as absurd as a Bone Nezha inside...

As expected.

No matter how hard the Black Eagle tried, it couldn’t even put a dent in the bone sphere. This turned Piaoxue’s expression sour.

"Little Eagle, swallow it whole for me!"

Piaoxue, enraged, gave his final command. In his eyes, even if it came down to mutual destruction, he wouldn’t let Overturning Water gain the upper hand!

"Hmm?"

Su Ran was startled. He hadn’t considered what might happen if the bone sphere were swallowed. Would his doppelganger actually be digested into... feces?

Regardless, he didn’t stop the Black Eagle from devouring the bone sphere. He was curious to see if stomach acid could corrode the outer shell. At this point, he was willing to take a gamble.

Since the bone sphere didn’t resist, the Black Eagle effortlessly swallowed it down. Piaoxue thought it was over and was ready to mock Su Ran, but to his surprise, something strange began happening to the Black Eagle.

A piercing screech echoed out as the Black Eagle displayed a look of agony. Electric currents crackled across its body while its stomach swelled grotesquely, as if it were in labor. It rolled about on the ground in an undignified display, looking utterly wretched.

"Ha! Something’s happening!"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up with excitement. He hadn’t expected this to be the breakthrough moment in his doppelganger’s evolution. Fortunately, this turn of events came just in time—had the doppelganger turned into a stillbirth, it would have been a disaster...

As they say, one person’s joy is another’s sorrow. Piaoxue now appeared utterly frustrated. He wanted to help his Black Eagle but was completely at a loss. What was he supposed to do—cut open its stomach and retrieve the bone sphere?

He wasn’t a veterinarian, after all—there was no way he could go through with that...

Left with no other choice, Piaoxue could only watch and pray for the Black Eagle’s fortune, his fists clenched in tension, genuinely hoping it could survive this ordeal.

Then again, even if the Black Eagle didn’t make it, the situation wasn’t that dire—it’d just cost a bit of loyalty. No big deal.

But this was a matter of pride. Piaoxue refused to be outdone by Su Ran. He had to prove to Fine Rain Drizzle that Overturning Water was nothing special!

Too bad.

The pet didn’t cooperate.

As Piaoxue’s thoughts spiraled, the Black Eagle’s flesh suddenly contracted, shrinking into a blood clot. Its black feathers scattered to the floor, leaving nothing behind that resembled an eagle.

As blood seeped out, the lump shrank visibly, eventually deflating entirely. All that remained was a piece of shed eagle skin lying on the ground, alongside the scattered black feathers—evidence that the Black Eagle had ever existed.

Having absorbed the essence of the Black Eagle’s flesh and blood, the bone sphere now gleamed with an eerie black luster, floating ominously in midair.

"It’s over."

Piaoxue received the system notification confirming the Black Eagle’s death. He never imagined that his prized golden mount would be utterly defeated by a mere bone sphere—and so utterly at that. Who would believe it if he told them?

Su Ran, on the other hand, was ecstatic. This strange phenomenon was the ultimate proof: his doppelganger had successfully evolved!

That shady merchant Yin Si hadn’t lied—the Bloodline Azure Fruit, when infused with magical beast blood, truly unlocked latent bloodline potential! If it evolved into a Bone Dragon, he’d hit the jackpot!!!

By sheer luck, he had stumbled upon the final key to his doppelganger’s evolution. Su Ran didn’t even know how to express his gratitude. Piaoxue’s timely intervention couldn’t have been better—it was like receiving a pillow when you’re drowsy. What a helpful guy!

The bone sphere hovered in midair for about a minute before segments of its shell began shedding away, revealing a pair of pitch-black skeletal wings that attached themselves to the doppelganger’s back.

"Whoosh!"

The wings unfurled, revealing the doppelganger’s true form. The bone creature was small, about forty centimeters in length, and its silhouette resembled... a bat. Could it be that it had regressed from the Bone Eagle into a bat?

Su Ran was deeply disappointed by the doppelganger’s evolution. The reality of the transformation fell far short of his expectations. From a dream Bone Dragon to a bat—it was almost too much to bear!

Clearly, the journey down the Road of Evolution would be long and arduous.

Wait a second.

A bat?

Damn it, this was bad. If people found out he was raising a bat as a pet, wouldn’t they isolate him like the plague?

Best to observe it for half a month before making any decisions!

Only now did Su Ran realize that bats were no longer symbols of good fortune—they had taken on a far more sinister identity, one that struck fear into humanity.

The drastic gap between his expectations and reality left Su Ran thoroughly depressed. His frustration grew as he stared at the doppelganger’s name, confirming the truth: this little creature was indeed a variant species of bat—a Thunder Bat.

It seemed the doppelganger had absorbed the blood of the Darknight Thunder Dragon and developed thunder-based abilities. While this was a nice addition to its arsenal, further investigation was required to assess its true potential.
