Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills - Chapter 200

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the dilapidated and empty city, Zhou Chen was sitting on the bed in the narrow security room. He looked at the woman’s face on the television screen with a calm expression.

His expression was calm, but he was actually vigilant because this thing did not look kind.

Suddenly, in the small room that was slightly illuminated by the light from the television screen, a pale arm with an astonishing length extended from the television screen and grabbed Zhou Chen’s neck!

“?!”

Zhou Chen immediately used his Eight Desolates True Energy to struggle free of this strange palm. At the same time, he was quite shocked. He did not expect this pale white arm to be so fast that he did not manage to dodge it even when he was on guard.

Violent energy instantly exploded outward with Zhou Chen as the center. The security room instantly exploded like a bomb, and even the nearby houses collapsed into nothingness.

However, the arm that grabbed Zhou Chen did not loosen its grip. Instead, due to Zhou Chen’s actions of destroying the television, the eerie woman’s figure was completely revealed.

She was dressed in red and her long hair reached the ground. She was very tall and was floating in the air. She had originally grabbed Zhou Chen’s neck with one hand, but now, she used two hands to grab him and lock him in midair.

“Why can’t I shake it off?!”

Not only was Zhou Chen in a sorry state, but he was also very shocked. He did not understand how his Eight Desolates True Energy that could destroy this room could not injure this eerie woman at all! It could not even move her red clothes or long hair!

In a moment of desperation, Zhou Chen, who was hung in mid-air by the eerie woman, immediately kicked her chest. His attack was very strong and had activated passive skills like Freeze. Even a tank would be destroyed if it got hit by his kick.

Zhou Chen’s kick pierced through the woman’s chest and came out from behind her. However, he did not feel like he had kicked anything, as if he had kicked air.

The only feeling he got was the coldness, like he had put his leg in a fridge.

“This thing is not corporeal?” Zhou Chen was speechless.

“Then how is it grabbing me?”

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen raised his hands and tried to pull the woman’s arms away from his neck.

However, in the next moment, he realized something very ridiculous. Although this woman’s arms could firmly grab his neck, his arms could not grab them at all!

“F*cking hell! What the f*ck is going on!”

Zhou Chen felt the pressure and coldness on his neck increase, and he knew that he was really in danger.

At the same time, the woman in red was pulling her narrow and eerie face closer to him. She even opened her purplish-black lips, as if she wanted to bite Zhou Chen.

“Holy Light!”

At this critical moment, Zhou Chen finally remembered a skill he had not used in a long time. His right hand emitted a dazzling white light which he shone on the woman’s face.

As soon as the Holy Light was released, Zhou Chen immediately felt the woman’s arms loosen. He fell to the ground and stood up, while the woman in red instantly disappeared.

“The Holy Light is really effective. If I had thought of this earlier, it would not have been so troublesome.” Zhou Chen thought to himself as he rubbed his neck.

He realized that he had underestimated the Holy Light skill. Although he had only grasped the lowest version of this skill, it was surprisingly useful.

“Cough, cough… Why is this ghost so strong? My neck, which is capable of withstanding tank shells, is actually hurting.”

Zhou Chen no longer dared to underestimate the monsters of this world. He realized that they were not just tricksters, but their abilities were actually very ridiculous and eerie.

Maintaining the Holy Light in his right hand, Zhou Chen left the security room that had been leveled by his True Energy and returned to the street.

After carefully observing his surroundings, he realized that the woman in red had disappeared. He did not know if she had hidden or fled. As for whether she had been killed by the Holy Light, he did not believe it.

Zhou Chen’s Holy Light was only at the low bronze rank. It would definitely not have a fatal effect on the monsters in this silver-ranked dungeon.

“It most likely hates the Holy Light and was frightened away. I have to hurry and escape.”

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen took out the hovering motorcycle from his inventory and drove it to the sky. He quickly drove dozens of kilometers and landed in front of a large building.

“This place should be safe.”

He observed his surroundings and put the hovering motorcycle in his inventory. With the help of the moonlight in the sky and the reflection of the large glass door of the building, he pulled down his collar and looked at his neck.

“There are two very light dark green handprints. The color was probably deeper earlier, it should have lightened due to my recovery speed.”

Zhou Chen saw handprints of the eerie woman on his neck. However, due to his astonishing recovery speed, these handprints had almost completely disappeared.

“I’ll teach you a lesson the next time I see you…”

Zhou Chen thought hatefully and began to think about how he would take revenge if he encountered that freaky woman again.

However, just as he had started to think, something unexpected happened!

The large glass door that reflected his face suddenly revealed the figure of a terrifying woman in red. Then, her pale arms instantly extended out of the glass door and grabbed at his neck like iron pincers!

“F*ck! Why are you here?” Sensing that he could not dodge, Zhou Chen immediately used the Holy Light skill and waved his palm at the large glass door in front of him, shattering the door.

As soon as the Holy Light appeared, the eerie woman disappeared again. At the same time, Zhou Chen felt his neck relax again.

He immediately ran into a relatively empty crossroad while maintaining the Holy Light.

“This is the first time I feel so aggrieved. Other than the Holy Light skill, I don’t think I can do anything about that thing. Let’s try breathing fire next time.”

Zhou Chen was in low spirits as he stood at the relatively empty crossroad. He was a Martial Dao Master, but his powerful Eight Desolates True Energy was useless against that eerie woman. He was getting beaten up one-sidedly. It was really embarrassing.

“My strength is still too low. If I condensed my martial dao intent into the Coiling Dragon phantom, I would definitely be able to kill that female ghost instantly.”

Zhou Chen now basically understood what that woman was. It was most likely an evil spirit that was completely immune to physical attacks. Zhou Chen’s current level of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art was useless against it. Only when he reached the level of condensing martial intent could he use the Eight Desolates True Energy to kill it. Even if he grasped the transformation properties of the Eight Desolates True Energy, it might still be useless.

This situation determined that Zhou Chen could not use his cultivation technique to deal with it now. He could only think of other methods.

“The battle just now proved that my Holy Light can only expel it. It has no ability to kill it.”

Zhou Chen could only rely on the Holy Light to defend against the female ghost. He still had to try other methods, such as using flames to attack, but he felt that there was not much hope of killing the female ghost with this skill.

While these thoughts were running through Zhou Chen’s mind at a high speed, he suddenly saw a figure slowly walking over from afar.

“F*ck! Again?”

Zhou Chen immediately shuddered and prepared to use the Holy Light skill. However, he focused on that side and realized that the person walking slowly was not the female ghost from before. The female ghost was dressed in red, and her long hair and appearance were obvious. This person walking over seemed to be a man.

“This person looks familiar… It seems to be the man wearing the large coat.”

Zhou Chen soon recognized the person. It was the humanoid figure he had encountered earlier in the day.

“This guy actually came for me. I don’t think he came just to say hi.”

Zhou Chen immediately felt danger and wanted to escape.

But he quickly abandoned this cowardly thought.

“I should try to check the situation first. Maybe physical attacks will work on him… or maybe he doesn’t have malice.” Zhou Chen chose to wait for the man to come over.

In Zhou Chen’s eyes, under the dim moonlight, the man walked closer and closer to him.

It did not seem to be in a hurry to reach Zhou Chen. Every step was very stable and slow, with a faint strange rhythm. It made Zhou Chen feel sleepy, and his eyelids became a little heavy.

“No! This thing is affecting me!”

Zhou Chen bit his tongue hard when he realized this abnormality. He forcefully broke free from the strange drowsy state and immediately punched the ghostly man.

His punch was quite powerful. The invisible punch formed by the Eight Desolates True Energy instantly struck the man, causing the path a few meters behind him to explode, forming a huge pit.

“He… disappeared? Yeah, I should leave this place.”

The man was gone, but Zhou Chen had not seen it being hit nor did he see any traces of it if it was hit. It should have dodged or fled, so he immediately chose to retreat.

However, just as he was about to run to the side, he suddenly saw a figure wearing a large coat and a mask standing three to four meters in front of him. Under the moonlight, its two bloodshot eyes were staring intently at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen saw coldness, desire, bloodthirst, and other mixed emotions in these eyes. However, these emotions did not make him put up his guard. Instead, he felt like he had fallen into an invisible vortex, and his entire body was about to sink into it and fall asleep.

However, Zhou Chen was Zhou Chen. With so many defensive passive skills, his resistance was very strong. He quickly broke free from this strange state. Pure white Holy Light lit up in his left hand and shone on the suited man.

However, even under the illumination of the Holy Light, the suited man did not move at all. It continued to look at Zhou Chen with its bloodshot eyes, making Zhou Chen feel even more dazed, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.

“The Holy Light is useless against this guy…”

Seeing this, Zhou Chen resisted the drowsy feeling and stopped using the Holy Light skill. He punched at the man through the air.

The powerful Eight Desolates True Energy fist hit the man standing a few meters away, making him disappear again.

“He is indeed dodging my attack. Physical attacks might be effective against him!”

Zhou Chen immediately determined this important information. Although his Holy Light was useless against it, every time he used the Eight Desolates True Energy to attack it, it would dodge. This meant that it was afraid of physical attacks.

Just as this thought appeared in Zhou Chen’s mind, he suddenly felt his head become heavy, as the sleepiness became stronger. At the same time, a cold feeling came from the back of his head.

Without looking back, Zhou Chen directly unleashed his Eight Desolates True Energy, causing an invisible storm to instantly sweep outwards!

A street lamp not far from him was immediately deformed and flew out, crashing into the nearby street. At the same time, the sleepiness in his head lessened.

After launching this attack, Zhou Chen turned around and realized that there was nothing behind him except for the figure of the man a hundred meters away.

It seemed to have returned to the beginning. It stood in the distance and stared at Zhou Chen with its bloodshot eyes as it walked towards him.

“This guy knows teleportation?”

Zhou Chen knew that this man had appeared behind him earlier. It had been forced to move back by his true energy, but there was no change in its body at all. Combined with its previous dodging actions, it was very likely to have teleported.

“But if it can teleport, why doesn’t it directly approach? That would be easier.”

Zhou Chen vaguely felt that the danger level of this man might surpass that of the red female ghost. Although it had not injured Zhou Chen at all, it had been trying to make him fall asleep. Zhou Chen felt that the consequences would be very bad if he allowed it to succeed.

“I should run away. I can’t sleep.”

Since this monster wanted to put him to sleep, Zhou Chen definitely could not let it succeed. At the same time, pulling away could lower the hypnotic feeling. Therefore, even if he could not escape, he had to run away.

Looking at the overcoat man who was walking slowly towards him under the moonlight, Zhou Chen turned and ran in the opposite direction.

However, he had only run a few steps when he saw a terrifying red figure ahead. The female ghost from before was quickly floating towards him!

“This… male and female teamed up?”

Zhou Chen was speechless. He was not able to deal with even one, and now there were two..
