Chapter 857: The Rule of Plunder
Chapter 857: The Rule of Plunder
September 25th, 2017
In the vast plains beyond the city, Lu HaiKong gazed at the majestic Zhuque, a legendary beast, with a mix of excitement and restraint.
Lu HaiKong was well aware of the terror that such a beast could bring, having experienced the power of the one he owned. However, he rarely used it, and he hadn't tested its full defensive capabilities, which lay dormant in the Northern Fortress.
With a mighty strike, Lu HaiKong unleashed his power, managing to reduce the beast's defense by a mere 150 points. It seemed like a small feat, but considering the beast's formidable defense of ten thousand points, it was clear how terrifying it could be.
"Its attack power is secondary; with this guy, I'll have an aerial advantage in reconnaissance." Lu HaiKong's eyes narrowed with a glimmer of excitement.
However, Lu HaiKong's excitement might be premature, as he still needed to test whether this beast could fly. He would have to wait until he opened the treasure chest later to see if it could fly. Although Lu HaiKong owned a legendary beast, they weren't the same, so he wanted to test this one's capabilities.
The attributes listed were vague, and some practical abilities or taboo matters required Lu HaiKong's personal mastery.
But for now, even in the midst of opening the treasure chest, Lu HaiKong's excitement couldn't be contained. He had to see the rewards from this round of treasure chests first.
Three legendary-level treasure chests yielded a Zhuque, a legendary beast, and two tokens with seemingly ordinary attributes.
Lu HaiKong took the two tokens and appraised their attributes.
Plunder Rule
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Description: A terrifying item imbued with the power of rules, it holds unimaginable strength. Upon activation, the user can 100% acquire a designated talent/trait from the one they slay.
Ps: Even unique and exclusive talents can be plundered.
Lu HaiKong's eyes lit up at the sight of this token, a valuable item that could borrow the strength of his subordinates to enhance his own power, even directly boosting his martial might to the level of a formidable warlord.
This token's value was immense, as it could plunder talents of any level.
"This item might come in handy soon." Lu HaiKong's eyes gleamed with a far-reaching glint, his mind already racing.
If the third wave of monsters didn't appear with a challenge that would prompt Lu HaiKong to use this token, the difficulty of this task might not be as hard as it seemed.
But Lu HaiKong felt a sense of foreboding, as if the system might increase the task's difficulty to an extreme level during the final wave.
However, Lu HaiKong's consecutive treasure chest openings had him questioning his initial doubts. The rewards suggested that the system might be treating him like a favored son, packing all the good stuff and sending it his way.
This situation even gave Lu HaiKong the impression that the third wave of attacks might be a mere formality, and he might easily withstand it, completing the task with ease.
In the vast world of the game, Emperor Han Lingdi and Empress He held the highest power within the Imperial Palace. The Emperor possessed the legendary Imperial Jade Seal, while the Empress had her own formidable weapon, the Phoenix Hairpin. This hairpin was, in a sense, a divine weapon exclusive to the Empress.
In the 169th chapter of the novel, the version is undeniable!
However, unlike the Emperor, who inherently wields the Imperial Jade Seal, the Phoenix Hairpin is not something every Empress can control. But unfortunately for the Emperor, Empress He happens to be one of the few who can.
With the Phoenix Hairpin in her possession, Empress He held near-invincible power within her private chambers. This is why Dong Zhuo didn't allow Lu Bu to assassinate him, and it's also the reason why Empress He killed Lady Wang and attempted to assassinate Lu HaiKong.
Exposing the Phoenix Hairpin wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the Empress. In fact, this exposure was part of her plan.
Empress He, with her connections and influence, whether it be the legacy of He Jin or the loyal officials within the court who genuinely care for the Han Dynasty, are all formidable forces.
However, without an army, their strategies are limited.
Aside from setting traps for Dong Zhuo and gradually pushing him towards humiliation, they also excel in various tactics of division and persuasion.
Their conspiracies and tricks are nothing compared to the strategic minds of Li Ru and Jia Xu within Dong Zhuo's camp.
Engaging in a back-and-forth of tactics, after several days of confrontation, Dong Zhuo not only suffered zero losses but further solidified his authority.
Empress He's side was utterly defeated, while Dong Zhuo's side gradually rose to power, inching towards controlling the entire court...
