“Absorb!”
After reading the introduction of this passive skill, Zhou Chen chose to absorb it. After the absorption succeeded, he immediately deactivated it because there was no need to keep this skill activated until it was necessary.
After crawling out of the top of the huge humanoid monster, Zhou Chen’s body was not stained much because the shield on his body had not completely shattered and was protecting his entire body.
After deactivating the Shield passive skill, Zhou Chen saw the refined young man and the tall girl running over.
“We thought you were eaten by this monster…”
The refined young man said to Zhou Chen with a surprised expression.
“Hehe, its teeth aren’t good.”
Zhou Chen replied casually. In fact, he felt that the battle just now had been slightly dangerous. He had been careless and did not anticipate the monster using its tongue, leading to his predicament.
“Let’s continue heading this way. There is an apothecary over there. If you have gold coins, you can buy some potions.”
He continued.
“Hmm, I need to buy healing potions.”
The tall girl nodded. She had been injured quite badly after coming out of the Holy Mountain and urgently needed healing potions to recover.
The three of them walked in a team. The refined young man hid the unconscious native girl in a narrow room and did not bring her along.
After walking for about 200 meters on the messy street filled with blood and broken corpses, they encountered five blood-red monsters that looked like two-headed dogs. These monsters were agile and aggressive. As soon as they noticed Zhou Chen’s group, they charged over.
“I’ll immobilize them first.”
The few of them were not flustered when faced with these monsters. The refined young man made the first move. He released his control skill that was similar to Spirit Suppression; the two-headed dog monsters suddenly weakened and fell to the ground.
Then, Zhou Chen, who was holding a spear, and the tall girl who had pulled out a saber immediately charged over and began to kill the monsters. The refined young man also took out a dagger to help.
The few of them were mid bronze Survivors and were quite strong. They did not feel any discomfort killing the monsters and killed them quickly.
Zhou Chen killed three of them alone, but unfortunately, none of them dropped passive skills.
‘When can I encounter a spiritual type monster? My spirit needs to be enhanced urgently.’
The passive skill that Zhou Chen wanted was not the particularly strong type. After all, that kind of thing could only be encountered by chance. What he wanted was the passive skill Spirit Enhancement, because his spirit attribute was the lowest among the three attributes. It was difficult to satisfy the spiritual energy consumption of the active skills.
“There are about ten monsters lingering ahead. Let’s go around them.”
After killing these monsters, the tall girl checked her surroundings and changed her direction.
Zhou Chen did not express any objections because he did not have the stamina to kill all the monsters. He could only choose some that looked to be of good quality to kill. As for the monsters in that direction, they were relatively ordinary in his Bloodthirst perception.
The few of them walked steadily and reached the apothecary. However, when they approached the apothecary, they surprisingly found that the surroundings of the shop were guarded by a team of more than ten guards, preventing others from approaching.
“This shop is reserved by the City Lord! All of you, leave!”
A black-armored guard shouted at the approaching people.
The people he was shouting at were the natives who had come to buy medicine. All of them looked to be strong people with blades and swords. Most of them were injured, and they were quite angry when they were blocked by the guards.
“You people are too shameless!”
“We need potions to save lives!”
…
The guard was unmoved by these people’s words. Instead, he replied impatiently,
“It’s useless no matter what you say! This is the City Lord’s order!”
Suddenly, a cold light flashed. Blood spewed out of the guard’s neck; his head tilted and fell to the ground.
The attacker was an ordinary-looking native man. He slit the guard’s throat and instakilled him. Then, he shouted, “Kill them all! Take back the apothecary!”
The angry crowd was ignited. They charged towards the other guards who were rushing over.
These guards were clearing the monsters that had run to this area under their captain’s lead. When they saw that something had happened in the backyard, they quickly rushed over.
The situation instantly became complicated. The guards and the natives engaged in a chaotic battle, and no one cared about the monsters that were approaching.
“What should we do?”
This situation stunned the refined young man. He turned to look at Zhou Chen and the tall girl.
“Let’s take another path to the apothecary.”
Zhou Chen’s goal in coming here was to buy potions and not to waste time on unnecessary matters.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he had to use the spear to pierce through the neck of a black-armored guard.
The other party had just killed a native and charged towards Zhou Chen’s group of three, it was obvious that the guard wanted to attack them as well.
‘This guard is weak…’
Zhou Chen’s heart did not fluctuate too much after killing this guard. He only felt that this person’s strength was not good.
But just as this thought flashed in his mind, a ball of dazzling lightning appeared not far away. Accompanied by a few screams, a middle-aged man whose entire body was surrounded by white-purple lightning shouted, “You brutes! All of you deserve to die!”
This middle-aged man was the captain of the guard team. He was wearing steel armor, and his entire body erupted with flashing lightning. The spear in his hand also seemed to have special effects as lightning sparks coiled around it.
In the blink of an eye, after knocking out the few attacking people, he shot lightning at two natives who were far away and were about to flee, quickly burning them black.
“This person is an expert.”
Zhou Chen immediately became interested in this person and wondered if he should go over and fight.
However, before he could move, he heard the middle-aged guard captain shout,
“None of you can escape!”
The spear in his hand flew out like a lightning snake, instantly piercing through a distance of dozens of meters and burning all the rioters along the way. It then stabbed deep into the ground, emitting a circle of dazzling lightning.
The spear landed just a few meters away from Zhou Chen’s group. The lightning that emitted from it immediately covered the three of them.
The tall girl fell to the ground without even letting out a cry. The refined young man was slightly better. Although he had also fallen to the ground, he was struggling to get up. Zhou Chen’s condition was different from theirs. At this moment, he had already crossed the distance of dozens of meters and arrived in front of the middle-aged guard captain.
“I didn’t want to meddle in your business, but you actually attacked me. I can’t let you off.”
Zhou Chen would not allow the person who had attacked him to continue living..
