Chapter 84: Am I a Descendant of the Royal Family?
Listening to the system notification ringing in his ear, Li Cheng knew that he had come to the right place. A trace of solemnity flashed across Lillian’s eyes.
The Profound Empire had killed countless Gods. No one knew what was hidden inside. Li Cheng marked a point on the map and then commanded the troops to move forward. Before they had taken a few steps, some broken stone pillars made of marble appeared in front of them.
From the style and layout of these stone pillars, it could be seen that they were in the ruins of a large city that existed a long time ago. Above these ruins, Li Cheng saw many huge monsters floating in the air.
They were completely made of energy. Li Cheng cast a detection spell and soon, the information of these energy clusters appeared in front of him.
[Plague Puppet]
[Description: A Profound Puppet made by the Profound Empire. Its body has been implanted with a highly toxic module developed by a special researcher. Its body contains a highly toxic poison…]
[Level: 40]
[Grade: Diamond]
[HP: 550,000,000]
[Attack: 2,200]
[Defense: 3,500]
[Skills: Physical Resistance, Regeneration, Highly Poisonous Attack, Energy Exposure]
Looking at the data before him, Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. It was indeed a Profound Puppet. Not to mention, it was a special puppet, a level 40 Diamond-grade Boss.
Other than having extremely high HP and defense, all of these Profound Puppets had extremely high physical resistance. Most importantly, they also had a Regeneration skill. When their HP was below 10%, they could instantly be revived with full HP as long as they replenished their energy in time. This skill was also the greatest characteristic of the Profound Puppets!
Due to this characteristic, the puppets had become extremely overpowered Meat Shield soldiers. If the players did not have any special moves, they would not be able to kill them at all.
However, in front of Li Cheng, this was meaningless. The Heart of Massacre could provide a high amount of true damage. All of their defense and resistance stats were like a wall made of paper, unable to withstand a single blow!
At this moment, the Profound Puppets had noticed Li Cheng’s troops. They instantly charged toward them at an unbelievable speed. Without needing Li Cheng to personally give the order, the female heroes under his command had already launched their attacks.
Countless damage numbers appeared above their heads. In less than a second, all of the Profound Puppets’ HPs had been reduced to zero. There was no time for them to recharge at all. As they fell, the sound of system notifications rang out.
“Ding, dong! Your troops have killed the Diamond-grade boss, the Plague Puppet. You’ve obtained eight million experience points. You’ve also triggered a ten thousand times amplification. Your troops have obtained eighty million experience points. You’ve obtained eight million experience points!
“Ding, dong! You’ve obtained eight hundred thousand shadow points. You’ve also triggered a ten thousand times amplification and obtained eight million shadow points!
“Ding, dong…”
These seemingly powerful Profound Puppets were all here to give Li Cheng points. Each puppet produced several billion points, which was why Li Cheng was here!
At that moment, Li Cheng had a few heroines that acted on their own, slaughtering those Profound Puppets. Meanwhile, he was sizing up the ruins in front of him. He remembered that there was an extremely powerful Legendary-grade Profound Puppet here. As long as he could kill it, he would definitely have a massive amount of experience points and shadow points!
After searching for a few more minutes, Li Cheng’s expression brightened. Near an inconspicuous ruin, he found an inconspicuous groove. Without even thinking, Li Cheng pressed down on it.
Rumble…
The entire city started to rumble with a series of loud sounds. Even the ground began to tremble. A few seconds later, the ground in front of Li Cheng began to crack and a Profound Puppet that was dozens of meters tall appeared before his eyes. Its body contained a tremendous amount of magical energy and its eyes, which were also made of energy, were staring fixedly at Li Cheng. Its voice sounded unusually dull. “Descendant of the imperial family of the Profound Empire, was it you who woke me up?”
As the puppet in front of him spoke, all the puppets in the ruins stopped moving. Seeing this, the female heroes and Pearl stopped the troops from attacking as well. They looked at Li Cheng, waiting for his order.
At this time, Li Cheng was a little confused. A descendant? The imperial family of the Profound Empire? Was it talking about him? Why was he unaware that he had become a descendant of the imperial family of the Profound Empire?
Thinking of this, Li Cheng cast a detection spell on the huge puppet and its data immediately appeared in front of him.
[Profound Puppet 007]
[Description: The highest-level puppet made by the Royal Warlock Association of the Profound Empire. The body of the puppet is integrated with the most powerful arcane core in the world. It’s extremely strong, and it has the strength to be on par with a Mythical-grade existence.]
[Level: 150]
[Grade: Legendary Tier 9]
[HP: 800,000,000,000]
[Attack: 130,000,000]
[Defense: 32,000]
[Skills: Physical Resistance, Regeneration, Arcane Leakage, Energy Exposure]
Seeing the information that popped up from the system, Li Cheng was also shocked. He had never thought that this Profound Puppet was actually a level 150 Legendary-grade Boss. Its attributes were ridiculously high.
It had a total of 800 billion HP. This number was much higher than the Church of Poison’s Holy Son. It could be said that this puppet was hundreds of miles ahead of him.
However, Li Cheng thought about something. In his previous life when the Shadow World event started, it only started a few years later. This BOSS, which was recorded on the forums, was naturally not too low-leveled.
Li Cheng was still stuck on the puppet’s words of him being a descendant of the royal family. He could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. Hence, he could not help but ask, “I’m a descendant of the royal family of the Profound Empire?”
Various data appeared in the puppet’s eyes. It replied, “According to the records in my database, your bloodline matches the bloodline of the seventy-third princess’ son-in-law…”
After pausing for a moment, the Profound Puppet lowered its head slightly and said, “I’m Profound Puppet 007, I’m happy to serve you!”
Li Cheng was even more dumbfounded. The whole thing had already exceeded his expectations. He clearly remembered that the Profound Puppets here had always been in a hostile state. Back then, the players who had explored this place paid an extremely heavy price.
But now? All the names of the Profound Puppets had turned blue. This meant that their relationship with Li Cheng had become friendly. It was ridiculous. Just a moment ago, they had been fighting to the death. Now, it was a friendly relationship…
The 73rd Princess of the Profound Empire. Li Cheng remembered that this was the last remaining princess of the Profound Empire. She was the descendant of the emperor’s son-in-law. Naturally, she was also considered a descendant of the royal family. This was what he was thinking about. Li Cheng asked, “What exactly happened here?”
