Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills Novel - Chapter 57
Chapter 57: Copper Skin Iron Bones
The Mimic looked like a wooden box, but its body was much sturdier than the wooden box. Zhou Chen’s stab was quite powerful, but it could only leave a small hole on its body. It fell on the ground but charged fiercely again.
“This monster is too illogical…”
Zhou Chen felt that this Mimic did not have any biological characteristics, but it was very aggressive.
He quickly replaced the spear with an ax and used this heavier weapon to deal with it.
Ten seconds later, the Mimic that was jumping up to bite Zhou Chen was hacked to pieces. After jumping for a while, it fell to the ground and stopped moving.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Mimic’s passive skill “Copper Skin Iron Bones I”. Do you want to absorb it?]
“Absorb!”
When he saw the name of this passive skill, Zhou Chen immediately chose to absorb it. At the same time, he checked its explanation.
[Copper Skin Iron Bones I
Type: Low Bronze passive skill
Physical damage taken is reduced by 20%.]
“It’s actually a 20% physical damage reduction. Awesome.”
The description of this passive skill was simple, but Zhou Chen knew how powerful it was.
He pressed his hand on his arm to see if his skin had become hard.
However, he realized that his skin was still as elastic as before. He could only notice some differences when he tried hard, and he could sense that it had indeed become much tougher.
“I have indeed become more resistant to physical damage, but it’s better to avoid blades and spears.”
Zhou Chen determined that his skin was not tough to the point of being abnormal.
After killing this Mimic, Zhou Chen looked at the other places in the large room and left after finding nothing of value.
After returning to the original passage, he saw that the thin man and the long-haired woman were gone. They had probably entered the depths of the passage.
“I hope the treasure chests won’t be snatched by them.”
Zhou Chen felt some pressure because he did not find the true treasure chest. He quickened his pace and walked deeper into the passage.
Because several Survivors had walked through this path, there were no traps. There were only some lizard corpses. After walking for a while, he realized that the path had begun to bend. After the bend, there were several forks.
The lighting in these forks was relatively bright. He could see the long-haired woman’s figure appear in the depths of one path. At this moment, the long-haired woman was holding a war hammer and fighting a few humanoid green-skinned monsters.
“There are new monsters… I have to try…”
Zhou Chen immediately ran into the path where the long-haired woman was and pierced the head of a humanoid green-skinned monster with his spear.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the Green-Skinned Inferior, “Reproduction Enhancement I”. Do you want to absorb it?]
“A passive skill really dropped? However, this Reproduction Enhancement sounds weird…”
Zhou Chen immediately took a few steps back and looked at the system description.
[Reproduction Enhancement I
Type: Low Bronze passive skill
Your chances of reproduction will increase by 300%.]
“What the hell… I don’t need this. Not fusing!”
For the first time, Zhou Chen refused a passive skill and directly abandoned it.
While making this decision, he used the spear to kill a Green-Skinned Inferior that charged to his side.
“Thank you for your help.”
A few seconds later, the long-haired girl thanked Zhou Chen.
“No need. Even if I didn’t help, you would have finished them within a few more seconds.”
These Green-Skinned Inferiors were less than 1.5 meters tall, had small arms and legs, and did not have weapons. Even though they had the advantage in numbers, they would be destroyed by the long-haired girl with her war hammer.
After killing these enemies, the two of them walked forward. Before long, they found a room on the side. There was a pool in the room, and in the middle of the pool was a treasure chest.
However, the problem was that there was a group of sharp-toothed, strange fish swimming in the pool. They looked quite ferocious, letting people know the consequences if they charged in.
The long-haired girl with the hammer only took a few glances at the pool before leaving, decisively giving up on the box.
Zhou Chen stood there and thought about how to obtain the box.
“I wonder if this box is also a Mimic…”
Zhou Chen had already been fooled by the Mimic once, so he was a little hesitant.
“Even so, I have to confirm it.”
Zhou Chen turned around and saw that the long-haired girl had already walked far away. He recited inwardly, ‘Windrun!’
He activated the active skill Windrun he had obtained in the previous Survival mission. An invisible stream of air wrapped his entire body.
Then, he charged into the pool with explosive speed. He stepped on the water and passed the center of the pool. While passing the center, he stabbed the box with his spear.
The sound of something shattering came from the spear. When Zhou Chen quickly returned to the shore, he saw a dent in the box.
“This box is motionless. It seems to be real.”
With this test, Zhou Chen knew that the box was really a treasure chest.
He stabbed the spear into the side of his pants, piercing through a sharp-toothed fish that was biting his pants. Zhou Chen activated Windrun skill again and charged into the pool.
This time, when he arrived at the center of the pool, he first waved his spear to knock away the strange fish nearby. He deactivated the Windrun skill and fell into the water to grab the treasure chest, and used all his strength to throw the treasure chest to the shore. Then, he activated the Windrun skill and waved his spear to knock back the surrounding strange fish.
When he returned to the shore, two strange fish were still biting on him, but their teeth could not cause much damage to him, barely breaking his skin.
After killing the fish, Zhou Chen opened the treasure chest with anticipation.
“I hope there’s something good.”
He saw a bottle of white potion inside. At the same time, the system gave a description:
[Invisibility Potion
Type: Low Bronze potion
After taking it, you enter an optical invisibility state. At the same time, your smell and body temperature are hidden.
The more you consume, the longer the effect will last. One bottle can last for ten minutes.]
“Invisibility Potion… Not bad.”
The ability of invisibility was very powerful. Although it could only last for ten minutes, it was quite valuable.
Zhou Chen put the bottle in his inventory and continued to explore the area.
After walking for a while, he saw a downward staircase ahead. The light in the stairs was dim, and there was a faint smell of blood.
