Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

Zhou Chen walked up the Holy Mountain step by step while paying attention to his surroundings.

Every two hours, he would stop to rest for five minutes, chew some ice in the bottle, and eat some bread and dried meat.

He did not encounter any monsters or humans. He only climbed the Holy Mountain alone.

The bone-chilling wind and snow attacked him as he continued to climb to the top of the Holy Mountain. Even though he had climbed for a long time, he did not see the shadow of the mountainside.

“According to the marks I left behind and my observations during this period, I shouldn’t be running in the same spot or entering an endless cycle. I am indeed gradually climbing, but the climb is too slow and this mountain is really too high.”

During the climb, Zhou Chen was worried that his efforts were in vain, so he used the marking method to mark his progress. The result was not bad; he was not in an endless loop.

“It’s just climbing a high mountain.”

Zhou Chen strengthened his resolve and climbed up at a fixed pace, even though the destination was nowhere before him.

A day later, Zhou Chen was still climbing the mountain, but he felt that the surrounding temperature had become colder, and the air had clearly become thin. Climbing higher might put him in danger.

“I can’t stop, this shouldn’t be enough to suffocate me to death.”

He thought for a moment and continued climbing, maintaining his original speed.

Another day passed. Zhou Chen, who had already turned into a snowman, felt that his breathing had become difficult. He was on the verge of activating Breath Holding passive skill.

Just as he was wondering if he should retreat and think of a solution, he saw a wide platform some distance above.

“I am here!”

When he saw this platform, Zhou Chen knew that he had finally passed the test. He quickly climbed up to the wide stone platform and shook the snow off his body.

During this process, he felt a warm wind blow past his body, making him feel a deep sense of warmth and relaxation. Even his exhausted mind instantly recovered.

“Is he healing me? Looks like there’s a second test.”

Zhou Chen immediately became alert and vigilant.

“Those who pursue the truth must have the courage to face death.”

At this moment, the old man’s voice that he had heard two days ago sounded in his ears again. At the same time, he saw a tall figure more than ten meters away from the platform.

It looked to be a person dressed in a pitch-black knight armor. He was muscular and more than 1.9 meters tall. As he walked towards Zhou Chen with steady footsteps, he slowly pulled out the bastard sword held at his waist.

“This feeling… he is strong.”

Zhou Chen had already sensed the blood that was filled with vitality in the enemy’s body and knew that this was not an easy opponent.

He took out his steel ironwood spear while locking onto the enemy with his sight and perception.

Zhou Chen was the first to attack. He directly stabbed at the eye hole of the iron helmet.

His strength and agility far surpassed that of ordinary people. Such an attack, even if it was simple and direct, had a huge threat.

However, the opponent was also extraordinary. When Zhou Chen attacked, this knight showed agility that did not match his appearance. His body tilted slightly and dodged the spearhead. At the same time, his bastard sword that was more than a meter long slid along the spear shaft, wanting to cut off Zhou Chen’s fingers that were holding the spear.

“Your reaction speed is not bad, but you can’t hurt me.”

Zhou Chen was not surprised to see his opponent easily neutralize his attack. He quickly moved his feet, and did a sweeping motion with the spear. He used great strength to deflect the other party’s attack, and at the same time, he used the spearhead to attack the neck of this knight.

In Zhou Chen’s opinion, the neck was clearly a weak area of the enemy. Even if his spear could not break the latter’s defense in one attack, it could be destroyed after a few more attacks.

Contrary to Zhou Chen’s expectations, his counterattack successfully hit the neck of the knight. The sharp spearhead of the steel ironwood spear left a deep mark on the neck guard, and even brought with it a few traces of blood.

Pu!

Zhou Chen suddenly felt a pain in his heart and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“What the f*ck?!”

Zhou Chen was extremely shocked.

Just now, he had clearly hit the enemy and even broke the enemy’s armor. But the one who spat blood was him!

“What is going on…”

Zhou Chen’s heart immediately became a little heavy. Although the mouthful of blood he spat out earlier was not serious, it was hard to say if it would happen again.

At once, he, who had been proactive in attacking, turned to defend, becoming slightly restrained.

‘What happened just now? I didn’t sense any other enemies around me. What did he use to attack me?’

Zhou Chen quickly thought while defending against the enemy.

‘I don’t quite understand, but he was indeed injured just now. At worst, I’ll exchange injuries!’

Zhou Chen was very confident in his physique, so he was unwilling to accept being constantly on the defensive. He quickly changed back from defense to offense, planning to fight this knight head-on.

He launched continuous thrusts and sweeps at the knight with his spear.

At a certain moment, Zhou Chen suddenly turned the spear in his hand that was about to hit the other party’s weapon and stabbed at the broken part of the other party’s neck guard with the advantage of the spear’s length.

However, this time, the knight did not let him succeed as easily. His body bent to the side, dodging the spearhead. At the same time, his iron-gloved left hand grabbed the spear shaft of Zhou Chen’s spear, wanting to restrain Zhou Chen’s weapon.

Zhou Chen quickly retracted his spear and dodged the palm. At the same time, his spear shook and smashed ruthlessly towards the other party’s head.

Spear-type weapons were not something that could be snatched away easily. Even with just the spear shaft, he could cause enough damage to the enemy.

With a muffled sound, Zhou Chen’s steel ironwood spear strongly hit the arm that the knight had raised to defend, making the surface of the vambrace on his arm cave in and bend.

However, this time too, Zhou Chen felt like his heart had received a heavy blow, and spat out another mouthful of blood!
