Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

It took Zhou Chen about half an hour to cross the quicksand area and advance to the next skeleton road sign.

The two foreign youths behind him kept following from afar. It was as if their injuries were not serious and they were rather energetic.

The three of them continued walking in the yellow sand for an hour. When their stamina decreased by quite a bit, the next wave of monsters appeared.

The monsters that attacked this time were not the desert blade worms from before, but a small group of monsters that looked more like scorpions.

They were about the size of an adult’s palm and had sharp tails, and ran quickly on the desert sand. When they charged over from a distance, the scene was quite terrifying.

“There are probably thousands of them. I need to escape.”

Zhou Chen had no good way to deal with such a large group of monsters. Escape was his only option.

As the small scorpion monsters appeared from the side, he chose to run forward. This way, he would be able to escape as well as be on the path.

However, after running for a while, Zhou Chen realized that although the scorpion monsters were small, their speed was very fast. Even though he ran with all his might in the desert, he could not completely shake them off. If he slowed down, they might even close the gap.

“Persevere… I don’t believe that these little monsters’ endurance can be stronger than humans.”

Zhou Chen cheered himself as he ran. He planned to fight the battle of endurance with the scorpion monsters to the end.

Suddenly, as he was running, he realized that the seemingly normal sand he was stepping on was very soft, making his body sink into it.

“Oh no! It’s quicksand!”

Zhou Chen had actually been paying attention to the quicksand areas while running, but this time, the quicksand that he stepped on did not look too different from the normal sandy area, making him accidentally fall in while running at high speed.

While his body was sinking, he quickly took out his shield and iron rod to try to escape.

This was quite possible because he was just about two meters away from the normal sand area. He had not sunk in too deep either. As long as he used the shield to support himself and pulled with the iron rod, he could return to normal ground.

The only problem was that the scorpion army was coming. He had to get out of this predicament quickly, or it would be very dangerous.

Just as Zhou Chen was using the shield and iron rod to pull himself out of the quicksand, he saw the two foreign youths behind him rush over.

That suited young man saw that Zhou Chen had fallen into the quicksand and was trying his best to get out. Surprise immediately appeared on his face.

“Friend! Don’t worry! I’ll help you!”

As he spoke, a wooden spear appeared in his right hand, and he quickly stabbed it at Zhou Chen!

Zhou Chen was not too surprised to see that although this person said that he wanted to help him, he actually wanted to kill him. This was because he had never believed in the two of them.

He decisively raised his shield to block the other party’s spear attack.

When the suited young man saw that Zhou Chen had blocked this sudden stab, he immediately retracted his spear and stabbed the ground. He quickly ran around the quicksand with the other young man beside him.

Because the scorpion monsters behind them were about to catch up, they did not have much time to deal with Zhou Chen. By leaving Zhou Chen here for the monsters, they might even be able to take a breather.

Because Zhou Chen had raised his shield to block the attack, his entire body was pushed deeper into the sand. His body quickly sank to his waist, making it difficult for him to move.

He looked at the scorpions that were about to approach this place and immediately felt immense pressure.

At this critical moment, he controlled his emotions and gently placed the shield on the quicksand. Then, he used all his strength to lift his right leg to get as close to the surface of the quicksand as possible. Then, he raised his left leg and leaned forward, making himself appear like he was lying on the quicksand.

After doing this, he relied on the support of the shield and his strength to crawl out of the quicksand area.

He had learned about this method of escaping from the quicksand when he watched the videos in his previous life. The effect was not bad, but it took a long time.

By the time he stabbed the iron rod into the normal sand near the quicksand and prepared to get up, the scorpion monsters were only two to three meters away from him.

Zhou Chen did not panic at this moment. He quickly got up to escape.

While escaping, he also activated his corpse poison passive skill.

This time, he used 200% of his strength to escape, and his speed reached an unprecedented peak. However, he was too close to the group of scorpion monsters. He had to bypass the quicksand area, and soon, he felt a sharp pain in his body. The little scorpion monsters at the front had already caught up to him.

At this moment, Zhou Chen did not dare to deal with the scorpion monsters that had caught up to him, because that would definitely slow down his speed of escape and cause him to be drowned by more scorpions. He could only hope that the corpse poison in his body could deal with them.

Time seemed to pass extremely slowly. Zhou Chen was sweating hard. By the time he reached an area not far from the two foreign youths, he felt the pain in his body decrease. He turned his head and realized that the group of scorpion monsters behind him had fallen behind. A portion of them were still chasing, but a larger portion had already burrowed into the sand. It seemed like they had given up.

“Looks like I’ve passed this trouble.”

Zhou Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. Then, another ball of resentment rose in his chest.

“Those two foreigners must die!”

His iron rod instantly appeared in his hand, and he charged forward with a ferocious aura.

At this moment, the two foreign youths in front also realized the situation behind them. They did not feel fear when they saw Zhou Chen charging over fiercely.

The suited young man directly took out his spear and prepared to attack Zhou Chen. A short knife appeared in the other youth’s right hand, reflecting a few cold lights under the desert sun.

“You’re not worthy of using a spear!”

Zhou Chen, who was quickly approaching them, saw the suited young man suddenly turn around and stab at him with the spear. His footsteps quickened again. His figure swayed, and he dodged the spear’s stab by a hair’s breadth. Immediately after, he extended his left hand and grabbed the front of the spear. He pulled hard, and his right hand stabbed the iron rod into the chest of the suited young man who was pulled over.

But his iron rod changed its move halfway and hit the side, because the other white youth with the short knife was attacking.

The white youth’s movement technique was relatively agile. He quickly retreated and dodged Zhou Chen’s rod strike.. Then, he immediately circled around Zhou Chen’s back, preparing to use the dagger to stab him.
