Chapter 314: The Imperial Dragon Demon Lord
Song Jian laughed and nodded, agreeing to the elf NPCs suggestion.
The Elf NPC was quite generous, tossing a fist-sized red fruit to Song Jian. This was a Life Fruit from the Tree of Life, but it wasn’t as precious as people imagined. It was at most equivalent to a full Vitality potion that removes all negative status effects.
However, sometimes such a fruit could save one’s life.
Song Jian nodded, put the Life Fruit into his bag, but didn’t take back the self-destructing robots. They still surrounded him, glaring intently at the NPCs who were hunting the mummies.
For a moment, all the players looked at Song Jian with admiration; he was a ruthless guy! He even made the NPCs work for him?
Without the self-destructing robots causing chaos, the NPCs finally relaxed and started to focus on hunting the mummies.
Clang-
At the sound of a crisp noise, Song Jian turned to look. A red gem dropped from a mummy’s body, and Song Jian couldn’t help but smile, staring closely at the NPC who killed the mummy.
The human NPC wore a conflicted expression. After picking up the red gem, he saw Song Jian’s wolfish gaze and couldn’t help but tremble slightly, shaking his head with a bitter smile as he tossed the red gem to Song Jian.
If he didn’t hand over the red gem, not only would Song Jian not let him go, but the Elf NPC wouldn’t spare him either.
Although the red gem was precious, it wasn’t as valuable as his own life.
When inlaid on equipment, the red gem could increase one’s strength attribute by one point, almost equal to a Ring of Strength.
However, Song Jian wanted the red gems not for inlaying, but for upgrading his Blood Pool.
Although the Blood Slaves created by the Blood Pool were currently weak, their potential was great and their levels needed to be increased as soon as possible.
Soon, Song Jian collected more than ten red gems, while the other colored gems that dropped were collected by the NPCs themselves.
Those who dropped red gems could only blame their bad luck. One unlucky player who luckily managed to deliver the last hit and received a gem from a mummy found out it was a red gem. He reluctantly handed it to Song Jian with a mournful face, leaving Song Jian both amused and helpless.
Soon, the hundred plus mummies were all killed by the NPCs, dropping more than thirty red gems, all of which were pocketed by Song Jian. Without the interference of the self-destructing robots, the NPCs’ monster-hunting efficiency was quite impressive.
With the mummies no longer being a threat, everyone continued to move forward.
Soon, a Bronze Throne appeared before everyone.
“This is it, the Bronze Throne. Whoever possesses it will get a chance to compete for one of the top ten unique professions!” Qian Xiaohao’s eyes gleamed. He had spent a great deal of effort to enter Doomsday City, all for the sake of this Bronze Throne in the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace.
The Elf NPC also wore an excited expression: “Is this the key to the top ten unique professions? It’s so amazing, I finally see it today…”
Qian Xiaohao excitedly rushed towards the Bronze Throne deep within the Underground Palace, but stopped halfway, his face full of doubt and suspicion.
“How, how could this be? Why is there still someone on the throne?”
It should be noted that the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace Qian Xiaohao had previously entered contained only a bare Bronze Throne. Although he didn’t have the qualifications to compete back then, he remembered every detail of the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace clearly.
“Could this be a trap?” Qian Xiaohao couldn’t help but take two steps back, while the follower behind him wore a puzzled expression, whispering, “Young Master, what’s wrong? Why don’t you go and seize the Bronze Throne?” “Something’s not quite right…” Qian Xiaohao said with a frown.
“Since Young Master Qian is not interested, I, Ama Girel Star Moon, will take this Bronze Throne.” The Elf NPC excitedly lunged at the Bronze Throne.
Song Jian calmly followed behind the NPC. Regardless of who obtained the treasure, he would always get a share. He had the confidence and ability to do so.
The Elf NPC charged toward the Bronze Throne and saw a black-robed skeleton sitting on it. Frowning, he tried to pull the skeleton down.
The black robe on the skeleton was made of an unknown material. Even the iron chains on the Coiling Dragon Pillar had rusted away, but the black robe remained brand new, as if it had just been made.
The flesh on the skeleton had long since decayed, leaving only the pitch-black bones, which radiated a faint luster from their surface, like black crystals.
“Ama Girel, just a small family of elves, dares to compete with me for the Bronze Throne, not knowing whether to live or die!” Qian Xiaohao sneered, with his hands crossed on his shoulders, standing aside, wanting to watch Ama Girel mess up.
As expected, the moment Ama Girel reached out, the skeleton on the Bronze Throne suddenly had oil-green light in its eye sockets.
Slap-
Ama Girel’s arm was grabbed by the skeleton;
“The stench of the Elves, I smelled it the moment you entered the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace…” The skeleton raised its head, its eyes glowing with green fire as it stared at Ama Girel, speaking in a hoarse voice.
“You, you are…” Ama Girel’s face turned pale; only then did the name and attributes of the skeleton appear above its head.
“LV15 Imperial Dragon Demon Lord (Lord): Vitality Points: 5000/5000, Spirit Points: 800/800. Special Features: Undead, Super Defense, Ghostly Strike. Skills: Instant Slash, Soul Drain, Summon Guardian.”
“A level 15 Lord BOSS?” Ama Girel was startled and hurriedly tried to break free from the skeleton’s grip, but the skeleton’s palm was like an iron clamp, holding his wrist firmly.
Whoosh-
Ama Girel suddenly felt a pain in his chest and saw a withered hand had pierced through it. His eyes were full of disbelief and terror.
“How, how is this possible? I have 860 Vitality Points, how could 1…”
“Serve as the nourishment for my resurrection-” The Imperial Dragon Demon Lord let out a satisfied moan, wisps of red Vitality flowing from Ama Girel’s body into the Imperial Dragon Demon Lord. In no time, Ama Girel had turned into a mummy, his face still wearing a look of terror.
At this point, the Imperial Dragon Demon Lord had fully regained his flesh, appearing like a man in his thirties with two huge dragon horns on his head and blue gem-like eyes.
Seeing the NPCs and players gathered around, the Imperial Dragon Demon Lord’s mouth curled into a cruel smile.
“Since you killed all my subordinates, you’ll now become my subordinates!” The Imperial Dragon Demon Lord laughed loudly, raising his right hand towards the sky. A dragon’s roar echoed throughout the Underground Palace.
