Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills Chapter 62 – Traps

After crossing a long passage, Zhou Chen entered the hall opposite the bridge and saw its full appearance.

Zhou Chen knew the hall was a wide one when he looked at it before, but now that he entered it, he realized that it was even wider than it looked from the outside. The area inside was comparable to a large palace hall.

However, such a spacious place did not look very friendly. This place was separated by iron fences, looking a little like an ancient prison. Moreover, in the passageways that were limited by these iron bars, there were various kinds of traps.

There was the sharp blade pit that Zhou Chen had seen a few times outside, the thorny pillars that kept rotating and moving around under unknown motive force, the huge iron hammers that swayed in a row, and many other obstacles that were clearly not easy to pass.

However, these traps were not completely impossible to pass. They clearly left margin for safe passage in the design; that is, as long as you were agile and judged the timing accurately.

“A hall of traps…”

Looking at the various traps in the winding passage formed by the iron fences in the hall, Zhou Chen felt a little pressure. At the same time, he saw that in the depths of the hall, at the end of the passage, there was a small iron box placed on a stone platform. It was not large, but it looked a little tempting.

“I'm the only one here. Those two women should have given up on this place.”

Zhou Chen did not believe that those two women had not come to this place before, but since they were not here and the box was still there, they had definitely given up on this place.

“I should give it a try. Although it looks quite dangerous, with my current physique and Windrun's ability, clearing the traps shouldn't be a problem.”

Zhou Chen only thought for a moment before deciding to clear this trap hall because he was confident in his strength and believed that even if he made a small mistake in the middle, he would not fall into a hopeless situation.

He walked steadily past the rope above the blade pit and arrived at the area filled with thorny pillars. After observing the pattern of the pillars' movements, he decisively stepped in and began to move left and right, constantly dodging to distance himself from the spiraling pillars that came from all directions and reached the end of the path.

Zhou Chen seemed to move past this obstacle quite easily, but in fact, he had to maintain his perception and focus the entire time. When he reached the end, the clothes on his left arm were already in tatters: his left arm had scraped against a thorny pillar.

This was not because his movements were not agile enough and he did not manage to dodge, but because his judgment of the timing of the thorny pillar was slightly off, suffering a few scratches on his left arm.

If it were anyone else, it might be an exaggeration to say that their left arm would be crippled, but it would have definitely become a bloody mess.

However, Zhou Chen had checked. Apart from his clothes that were ruined, there were only some white marks on his left arm. The Copper Skin Iron Bones and Monolith passive skills had displayed their effects.

“As expected, these traps are not that dangerous to me.”

Zhou Chen immediately became more confident when he saw this and continued to pass through the traps.

During this process, he did not rely on his tough body to force his way in, and continued to avoid the damage from the various traps.

Ten minutes later, he arrived before the last obstacle. The last obstacle was a pool. The liquid in the pool looked like melted iron. The heat was astonishing. Some round stakes with a diameter of ten centimeters floated in the melted iron pool. This obstacle seemed to be testing the courage and agility of the person who came, wanting the person to pass the pool by stepping on the stakes.

“With my strength, I should be able to do it, but there's no need for that.”

Zhou Chen activated the Windrun skill without much thought. He jumped up and and moved across the air with the floating ability of the Windrun skill, crossing the iron pool that was more than ten meters long and reaching the other side.

He knocked on the iron box on the stone platform with the spear in his hand. After confirming that it was not a Mimic, he opened it.

There was a small key in the small iron box.

“Just this? How insincere…”

Zhou Chen had spent a lot of time and energy on this hall. He thought that he could obtain a reward of the same level as the upgrade scroll, but he did not expect there to be only a small key.

“This key might be the key to the iron gate I found earlier. Maybe there's something good inside.”

With this in mind, he put away the key and prepared to return. However, at this moment, the wall in front of him moved. A section of the wall moved down, revealing an empty spot that looked like an exit.

From that gap, he could see the stone path outside and the walls. It should be connected to a passage.

“Is it saying that those who passed the traps don't need to cross them again? This design is not bad…”

After checking that there were no traps, Zhou Chen passed through the gap and entered the opposite passage. After walking for a while in this passage, he found the marks that he had left on the walls, allowing him to know his current location.

After spending some time, he returned to the iron door he had found not long ago.

Although the iron door was still there, it had been opened, revealing an empty box inside.

“Someone beat me to it?”

Zhou Chen immediately took out the key he had just obtained and tried it on the iron door, realizing that it did not match.

“Fortunately, this key doesn't correspond to this door. I wonder who took the rewards here.”

Although Zhou Chen did not think that he could monopolize all the rewards, he was still a little displeased when he saw that a reward that he had seen had been taken by someone else.

“I should search more. There should definitely be more rewards on this floor.”

After leaving this place, he continued to move and search.

Because he left marks from time to time, his search was not done blindly. He avoided all the areas he had been to and focused on finding unfamiliar areas.

Half an hour later, he arrived at a door. Just as he arrived at the door, he saw a white-haired, middle-aged man rush out and throw his clothes that were on fire to the ground.

Zhou Chen felt that smoke seemed to be rising from this white-haired person's head, so he looked at him a few more times.

This person did not mind. Instead, he reminded Zhou Chen,

“Any movement here will trigger flames. Not only is there no way to pass through, but it's also very dangerous. I suggest you find another place to explore!”

With that, he walked deeper into the passage without looking back.
