Chapter 66: Recovery Potion

Under Zhou Chen's lead, he and the other two moved in the dark passage. Then, they fought five Blood Corpses and three canine monsters with two heads and wiped them out.

These two-headed canine monsters had stronger combat strength than Blood Corpses. They were very ferocious. Unfortunately, they encountered Zhou Chen, who liked to kill new monsters, and were quickly pierced by his spear.

However, he did not obtain any new passive skills from killing these monsters.

'The monster appearances on the second floor have clearly increased. Is this place testing our combat strength?'

Zhou Chen thought to himself as he continued forward.

After a while, they arrived at the end of the passage.

At the end of the passage was a dark cliff. A long wooden bridge was mounted on the cliff. Ferocious figures could be vaguely seen on the wooden bridge.

"Battle on the wooden bridge? There are pros and cons…"

Zhou Chen observed for a moment and charged up the wooden bridge to fight the monsters.

These monsters looked like a combination of a human and a spider. Their upper bodies were like humans, and their lower bodies were like spiders. They ran quickly on the wooden bridge and could even crawl upside down with their eight legs stuck to the bottom of the wooden bridge.

Fortunately, they did not have the ability to spit webs. Otherwise, it would have been a little difficult for Zhou Chen to deal with them in this environment.

The spear pierced through the chest of a humanoid spider and sent it flying off the wooden bridge. Zhou Chen then kicked the other humanoid spider that had exposed its head from the bottom of the wooden bridge, almost knocking it down the cliff.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was not an easy target, this monster let him go and continued to crawl back from the bottom of the wooden bridge, preparing to attack the two standing behind.

The long-haired woman and the thin man also began to fight. They squatted slightly on the wooden bridge to lower their center of gravity. While maintaining their balance, they used their weapons to attack.

However, the greatest pressure of the battle was still on Zhou Chen, who was at the front, but he did not seem to be restrained at all. He fought with all his might on the wooden bridge as if it was level ground, as if he was not worried that he would fall off the cliff.

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen stepped onto the opposite side of the bridge. There were also a few similar monsters waiting on the other end, but they were quickly killed by him.

"There's no passive skill… How boring…"

Zhou Chen looked back at the two behind him and realized that they had not fallen behind. Apart from their trouser leg being torn, there were no obvious injuries.

"These two are having it easy, but it doesn't matter."

As long as these two did not interfere with his gains, Zhou Chen did not have much objections to them following him for a while.

After continuing in this mountainous area for a while, Zhou Chen saw a large tree in front of him. There were many white webs and cocoons hanging on the tree. One of the cocoons was not completed well, revealing the outline of a box.

"I've finally found a treasure chest."

Zhou Chen was excited. After observing for a while, he directly used the Windrun skill to jump high and slash the cocoon that contained the treasure chest to the ground.

When he did this, another cocoon on the large tree immediately reacted. An opening appeared on the cocoon from which a long mouth extended, spewing white silk thread at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen, who was still in the air, did not panic. He immediately activated the floating ability of the Windrun skill and dodged the white threads that were flying at him. At the same time, he flew past the large cocoon where the monster was hiding and stabbed his spear into it.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the Mother Humanoid Spider, "Agility Enhancement I". Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the Mother Humanoid Spider, "Reproduction Enhancement I". Do you want to absorb it?]

"No!"

This was not the first time Zhou Chen had seen this passive skill. He decisively chose to abandon it.

"This thing is very agile? Why do I feel like it is a simple-minded thing…"

Zhou Chen was puzzled that this monster which hid in the cocoon actually gave a stronger agility enhancement. However, since the monster was already dead, he could not test its agility.

After landing on the ground, Zhou Chen walked to the cocoon that contained the treasure chest and used the machete to cut open the cocoon to take out the treasure chest.

During this process, the thin man and the long-haired woman, who were acting as his lackeys, did not come near him. They looked at Zhou Chen from afar, their eyes clearly filled with shock, as if they found the ability he had displayed a little unbelievable.

Zhou Chen was gratified by their adherence to the rules, which prevented some unpleasant things from happening.

He opened the treasure chest and found a blue potion inside.

[Energy Recovery Potion

Type: Low Bronze potion

After drinking it, quickly recover your lost spiritual power and stamina.]

"Potion that can recover spiritual power. This is useful to me."

The Windrun skill that Zhou Chen often used needed to consume his spiritual power, but he lacked the recovery methods, so this potion was quite suitable for him.

After Zhou Chen packed the blue potion, the thin man walked over and said to him in a shocked tone, "Boss, I didn't think you knew how to fly! Can you tell me how you did it?"

His eyes were burning.

Zhou Chen smiled faintly.

"This is the skill reward for killing monsters. This thing depends on luck. Maybe when your luck comes, you will obtain this ability."

Zhou Chen briefly explained the source of the ability. There was no need to keep this a secret, because there was definitely related information on the forum.

"Such a powerful skill can drop from killing monsters?!"

The thin man's eyes became even more excited when he heard Zhou Chen's words.

"Boss, I've decided to go my way. Perhaps I will get lucky."

"Up to you. Good luck!"

Under Zhou Chen's faint encouragement, the thin man turned and left alone.

The long-haired girl, who had not said anything, still stood not far away, as if she wanted to continue relying on Zhou Chen.

"Don't you want to get treasure chests?"

Zhou Chen asked her curiously.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to live."

The long-haired girl immediately replied calmly.

"You are really passive…"

Zhou Chen was a little speechless. He had noticed this girl before. She seemed to have been sitting near the door waiting for him to open it.. She did not go to fight monsters and was completely idle.

        Just because you cannot figure out a valid use for it right now, doesn't mean it couldn't be the one skill needed to survive in the future. Since he can toggle them on or off, there really isn't any logical reason to not take all passives that drop, better to have it and not need it, then need it and regret never taking it.

        I feel a lot of things MC does and thinks sometimes shows just how much he is not in a survivor's frame of thinking. It feels more like he thinks he is playing a game more than trying to ensure ways not to die. Case in point, him not paying attention to the other survivors when just entering, even given the fact that every single mission he has been attacked by one of them.

          I feel there's validity in rejecting some skills. Just like how the iron skin bronze bone skill increased his physical toughness, I feel the reproductive skill could alter his internal organs possibly

        I feel that the author keeps bringing that skill as a joke rather than being beneficial. After all, a spider creature can have other skills eg web-spinning.

      Maybe the MC sees this skill as sort of a slap to his face. In certain cultures men get VERY sensitive about even an indirect implication that they might not be "virile" enough.
