Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

Chapter 65: Entering the Second Floor, Bloodthirst

Zhou Chen felt that the problem was a little serious. There were clearly only three female Survivors at the start, but he had seen five. This meant that he had either counted wrongly at the beginning or something had mixed in.

He then looked down at the corpse’s face and realized that he had some impression of this woman. At the beginning of the Survival mission, she seemed to be standing in the middle.

“I have a clear impression of that long-haired woman and petite woman, but the two girls I met at the stone platform seem to have suddenly appeared.”

Zhou Chen felt that things were a little strange. He tried his best to recall and realized that he did not seem to have seen those two at the start of the Survival mission.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He had definitely not counted wrongly at the beginning, but he had been a little careless when fighting that stone warrior and had not paid much attention to the two female Survivors.

“The number of male Survivors doesn’t seem to be right as well. Let’s think about it later.”

Zhou Chen stopped his thoughts and used the spear to dig through the weeds around the corpse. He quickly found a dagger and placed it in his inventory.

After leaving the plant room, Zhou Chen began to search for the room that corresponded to his small key while searching for those two girls.

However, after spending some time, he only found some treasure chests that had been looted by others. He did not gain anything, nor did he find his targets.

“Could the key in my hand correspond to a room on the next floor?”

After exploring for a while and confirming that there was basically nothing more to plunder on this floor, Zhou Chen began to walk to the underground door that led to the next floor.

After entering the hall with the bear monster’s corpse, he saw that four people were already gathered here: the thin man, the muscular young man, the long-haired girl, and the chubby middle-aged man.

“You’re finally here? I thought you were dead!”

The muscular young man with the shield in one hand and the cudgel in the other immediately mocked when he saw Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen ignored him and opened the door with the key.

“Have you seen two girls who use a blade and a sword? Their hair is short and they are of medium height.”

“There are no such people among the Survivors.”

The thin man immediately replied. He looked at the long-haired girl beside him.

“Other than her and a short girl, there’s only one other girl among the Survivors, but she doesn’t look like what you said.”

“Yeah.”

Zhou Chen nodded. He knew that the third girl the thin man was talking about was the one in the plant room.

He inserted the key into the keyhole, twisted it, and pushed it again. The door to the second level was opened.

Behind this door was a passage that extended to two sides. The light in the passage was clearly darker than the one above, because there were fewer oil lamps inside.

The five of them walked into the passage and quickly split into two. The muscular young man and the chubby middle-aged man walked on one side, while the thin man, the long-haired girl, and Zhou Chen walked on the other.

“Not long ago, I encountered two evil women. Now that I think of it, their origins are very suspicious. You have to pay attention to strangers.”

Zhou Chen said to the thin man beside him.

“Don’t worry, I’ve paid attention to the appearance of all nine Survivors. As long as I encounter them, I will definitely be able to recognize them.”

The thin man replied confidently.

“Oh? Then tell me, what are their characteristics?”

Zhou Chen’s interest was piqued. His observations at the beginning of the Survival mission had been too crude, especially when there were a few people standing quite far away from him. He only saw their backs or side profiles and did not pay much attention.

The thin man immediately answered him, telling him the most obvious characteristics of everyone. Soon, Zhou Chen knew who the extra man was.

‘It’s really him, but I feel like his behavior is very normal.’

Zhou Chen was puzzled.

The three of them walked in the passage for a while and encountered a fork that led to two sides. However, they did not split up again, because as soon as Zhou Chen made a choice, the thin man and the long-haired girl followed.

Zhou Chen was not too surprised. He guessed that these two had probably seen him showcase his strength and wanted to rely on him.

They continued walking in the passage for a while. Suddenly, he slowed down before a corner.

“There are monsters lying in ambush ahead. Be prepared.”

He reminded the two people behind him.

Zhou Chen’s spirit attribute, which was as high as 2.1, gave him extraordinary perception. Even though there were two walls between them, he could still sense what was hidden there.

He suddenly accelerated and charged into the corner. He pierced with the spear and felt resistance coming from the spear shaft. A skinless humanoid monster was pierced through the head.

The thin man and long-haired girl behind him quickly came to support. The thin man used a saber, while the long-haired girl continued using her war hammer.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Blood Corpse’s passive skills, Blood Poison I and Bloodthirst I. Do you want to absorb them?]

After Zhou Chen killed the first humanoid blood monster, the system sent him a notification.

“Blood Poison? Another poison… But what is Bloodthirst?”

He thought to himself before reminding the other two.

“Be careful. Don’t touch them. They might be poisonous.”

Then, Zhou Chen entered the rhythm of killing these blood monsters at high speed. He used the spear in his hand to quickly and accurately hit the vital points of the Blood Corpses like a poisonous snake.

After the three of them finished killing all the humanoid blood monsters, Zhou Chen looked at the description of the Blood Poison and Bloodthirst.

[Blood Poison I

Type: Low Bronze passive skill

Your blood is poisonous and can cause high sustained damage to bronze-ranked targets.]

[Bloodthirst I

Type: Low Bronze passive skill

You can sense the movement of blood within a hundred meters.]

‘Causing poison attack through blood, it’s not as convenient as the Corpse Poison passive skill I already have. This Bloodthirst seems to be good, I will just absorb both.’

Zhou Chen usually chose to absorb passive skills even if they were not essential. In any case, he did not need to pay anything. However, he would deactivate the Blood Poison as soon as he absorbed it. It would only be activated when it was needed.

After absorbing the two passive skills and deactivating the Blood Poison, Zhou Chen began to experience the passive skill, Bloodthirst.

Right now, he could sense eleven blood sources within a hundred meters. Three of them were him and the two Survivors beside him. The other eight were dozens of meters away. Five of them were the humanoid blood monsters, and the other three were new monsters.

‘This Bloodthirst passive skill is quite useful. Not only can I sense the location of blood sources, but I can also distinguish their types. However, I have to take into account the fact that there are many monsters without blood, so I can’t be careless.’
