Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills Chapter 92 – Shield

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Relying on the upgraded Bloodthirst passive skill that had an increased perception range of 300 meters, Zhou Chen was very efficient in finding the monsters with blood circulation.

However, some monsters did not have blood. For example, the monster he was fighting right now was among them.

It seemed to be a spectral monster. It looked like a pale, ferocious figure. As soon as it crawled out of the stone wall, it floated towards Zhou Chen silently, bringing with it a chilling aura that could suffocate ordinary people.

When it reached out its pale claws to Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen tried to stab it with his spear.

To his surprise, the steel ironwood spear seemed to stab into a very light entity; the monster's body bent and elongated along with the spear thrust.

At the same time, the monster continued to extend its pale claws at Zhou Chen. After Zhou Chen nimbly dodged it, its claws left a deep scratch on the ground.

“It's not a spiritual-attack type? How did it get out of the stone wall? Is it like that shadow monster which could switch between solid and phantom state?”

Zhou Chen was a little puzzled. He continued to use the conventional method to fight it, which was to use the spear to attack.

However, he quickly realized that this strategy was not good because the body of this monster seemed to be extremely light. It could also greatly change the shape of its body; abruptly lengthening or bending its body. This made Zhou Chen's attacks feel like they were hitting cotton. Many times, his attacks would even be dodged in a strange manner.

Zhou Chen did not cause any obvious damage to it during this process. Instead, he felt a little exhausted because the attacks of this contortionist monster were very difficult to guard against.

“I should try other methods.”

After sensing that physical attacks were not effective, Zhou Chen used the Holy Light skill when this monster approached. The Holy Light shone on the monster, scaring it into crawling back into the stone wall.

“The holy light shone on it, but it doesn't seem to have been injured, so why did it escape so quickly?”

Zhou Chen was puzzled. This spectral monster should have been suppressed by the Holy Light. It should have dissipated or been seriously injured, but it was only frightened away.

He felt that this monster was a little unusual. It might have some special defensive ability, so he began to search the nearby areas in hopes of finding and finishing it off.

Hard work paid off. After wandering in this area for more than half an hour, Zhou Chen finally saw the ghost monster again. It did not look like it had been burned by the holy light. Its entire body was still in its original form.

“The aura it emits is still so chilling, it looks no different from the beginning. Is the holy light useless against it?”

Zhou Chen was even more interested in this monster. He was determined to kill it and see if anything dropped.

However, this monster seemed to have some intelligence. When it realized that Zhou Chen was approaching, it did not fight back like an idiot. Instead, it crawled back into the stone wall and slipped away.

“Don't run!”

Zhou Chen was speechless. It was really not easy to chase after a monster that could pass through walls.

“No, I can't give up. I killed so many monsters but gained nothing. I can't let go of this thing that clearly looks like it has something.”

Zhou Chen began to think about how to kill this monster.

“It's obvious that I have to use special methods to deal with it. My special abilities include Holy Light and flames. By the way, there's another item that might be useful.”

After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen thought of a strategy.

For the next two hours, Zhou Chen searched the surroundings for traces of the ghost monster. He ran from one passage to another, and found the ghost monster a few times.

However, the moment he saw the monster, it would notice him and slip away.

Therefore, after Zhou Chen patiently searched for a long time, he did not rashly move after discovering the monster's figure floating in the distance.

“At this distance, it either cannot notice me, or it thinks that I'm far from being a threat.”

After seeing that the spectral monster in the distance was not on guard, Zhou Chen silently retreated and hid behind a large rock.

Then, he took out a white potion and drank a mouthful.

“The Invisibility Potion is finished, I have to succeed this time.”

After entering the invisible state, Zhou Chen activated his Windrun and charged towards the spectral monster in the distance. When he was a little closer, he used the floating ability of the Windrun and quickly floated behind the monster.

The moment he reached near the monster, Zhou Chen used two skills at the same time: Holy Light and flames.

While the light ball above his palm fired holy light, he also breathed fire at the monster and drowned it with flames.

Zhou Chen heard a miserable cry. The monster was heavily injured, but it was still not dead. It was still able to crawl into the nearby stone wall.

“The damage is still lacking. Looks like I have to try this.”

Zhou Chen immediately took out a white flute from his inventory and blew it.

This was the bone flute he had obtained from the Underground City. The sound it made could damage all nearby targets.

However, it needed to be played for a long time to deal damage, so Zhou Chen had never used it after obtaining it.

Zhou Chen played the bone flute with all his might while running in the cave because he wanted to find traces of the monster while playing the bone flute.

He actually did not know if this would be useful. He could only try his luck.

However, this time, luck finally came to his side. After playing the flute for about two minutes, he heard the system's announcement.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Blade Specter's passive skill, Shield II. Do you want to absorb it?]

“It indeed gave a skill!”

Zhou Chen immediately felt refreshed. He had worked so long for this.

He first checked the description of this Shield passive skill.
