Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

Chapter 15: Monster Cave

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After reading the system forum and the official website of Dragon Country, Zhou Chen began to prepare for the next Survival mission.

First, he took out an iron rod from his inventory space. This iron rod was one of the rewards he had obtained. It did not look special. It was completely black gray in color. It was more than a meter long and was as thick as a thumb.

Although this iron rod was inconspicuous, since it was produced by the system, it could be placed in the inventory space and could be used freely in the Planet Blue or dungeon worlds. It was very useful.

Although Zhou Chen did not have proficiency in using rods, he had the passive skill of the spear, so he could barely use it as a spear. However, it was a little short and did not have a tip.

“It would be better if I can sharpen it. But I wonder if that will cause some accidents.”

Zhou Chen did not want the system to remove the iron rod after he sharpened it.

Zhou Chen held the iron rod and began to wave it according to his feelings. He tried to use it as a spear to adapt to its feel.

This task was his main focus for the next two days. He spent time familiarizing himself with the iron rod so that he would not be lousy when using it during the Survival mission.

In addition to this, he increased his nutrition intake and physical training in his spare time to maintain his peak condition. He also browsed the forum from time to time to understand the latest information about the Survivors.

Another two days passed at a moderate pace. Zhou Chen’s training and rest went peacefully until it was time for the Survival mission.

[Survival mission is about to begin. Please be prepared.]

[Teleportation begins…]

Soon, the surroundings changed from a monotonous rented room to a place with dim lighting. It seemed to be a cave.

[Monster Cave

Difficulty: Low Bronze

Mission: Spend a day in this cave.

Prompt: Killing monsters in this cave has a low chance of dropping low bronze-ranked rewards.]

“Only a day? Not bad, and there’s a drop possibility as well.”

Compared to the last time when he had to spend three days in the zombie city, Zhou Chen liked this shorter time because the longer the Survival mission was, the more possibility of his condition worsening. Then, he would experience the dual torture of his body and spirit. Not to mention, the system had given him a hint that there was a chance of getting rewards by killing the monsters. This was the first time he had encountered such a setting.

At this moment, he was standing near the stone wall of the cave. The iron rod he had been practicing for the past two days had appeared in his hand, and he began to observe his surroundings.

First, he realized that there were other Survivors in the dim light. Apart from him, there were two men and two women standing a few meters away.

“F*ck! Why is the lighting so poor this time! It’s too unfriendly to my short-sightedness!”

A tall and thin young man was the first to protest against the system.

“Hehe, don’t worry. You can follow me even if you can’t see clearly. I have good eyesight and a flashlight.”

Another muscular young man smiled at the tall and thin young man. Then, with a clear sound, a short cylinder object in his hand fired a bright beam.

“That’s great! Boss, let me follow you too!”

A petite girl said softly when she saw the muscular young man solve the problem of the dim light.

The tall girl beside her did not speak.

Zhou Chen also did not say anything. According to his usual style, he should have left the team immediately to do the mission alone, but the light in this place was too dim. It was difficult to see anything far, making him feel that he could not advance too rashly, so he temporarily chose to stay with the others.

“Everyone, it’s fate that we are in this together. Let’s get to know each other first. My surname is Wang, you can call me Brother Wang. I’ve completed four survival missions.”

The muscular young man with the torchlight naturally obtained the leadership of this small team.

“My surname is Li, everyone can call me Little Li. This is my first official Survival mission. I hope Brother Wang and all the big shots don’t leave me.”

The petite girl was the first to reply after the muscular youth who called herself Brother Wang started the topic, indicating that she was a newcomer who had just completed the trial mission.

“You can call me Little Qiang. All my friends call me that. This is my second Survival mission.”

The tall and thin youth was the second to respond.

“My surname is Zhang, you can call me Little Zhang. This is my second Survival mission as well.”

Zhou Chen said.

“My surname is Liu. This is my third Survival mission.”

The tall girl said calmly.

“Hehe, now, everyone knows each other. I hope we can unite and pass a day here peacefully.”

The muscular Brother Wang was a little satisfied with the cooperation of the other four Survivors. He smiled in the bright light of the flashlight.

“My flashlight has been shining for a while, but there doesn’t seem to be any reaction from the surroundings. This place might be safer for the time being. Do you guys want to stay here or go deeper?”

After the five of them got to know each other, Brother Wang asked everyone for their opinions.

“We should choose a direction and take a look. Anyway, the system won’t let us have it easy. We can understand the situation sooner if we are proactive. If we’re lucky, we can even get some drops.”

The tall and thin young man who called himself Little Qiang immediately expressed his opinion.

“Brother Wang, let’s just stay here. I feel that there might be something terrifying in the distance…”

There was a trace of fear in the little girl’s voice.

“I’m more inclined to take the initiative and see what’s in this cave.”

Zhou Chen was the third to give his opinion.

“I suggest we take a look at the depths.”

The tall girl had the same thought.

“Alright. Sister Li, we’ll follow the majority. If you’re afraid, stay close to me. We’ll take a look in this direction.”

Brother Wang, who was holding a torchlight, led the four people to one end of the cave.

They were currently standing in the cave. There were dark and deep passageways in front and behind them, and they did not look much different, so no one had any objections when he chose a random direction.

“Everyone, ready your weapons. We might be attacked at any moment.”

As he led the way, a sword appeared in Brother Wang’s right hand and he held it firmly.

Zhou Chen was following behind with his iron rod. He saw that a dagger had already appeared in the hands of the tall and thin young man a few meters away. The tall girl had a sabre, while the petite girl, Little Li, seemed to be empty-handed.

“This Brother Wang is really brave. He doesn’t seem to be worried that someone will attack him from behind. Maybe his spirit attribute is very high or he has a perception talent.”

Zhou Chen looked at Brother Wang’s back and saw that he seemed to be focused on leading the way. He guessed that he must have something to rely on. It was impossible for him to be stupid and ignore the possibility of being stabbed in the back.

The five of them walked in silence in the cave filled with crushed stones for three minutes.. Then, they realized that red dots had appeared in the depths of the cave.
