Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a while, Zhou Chen finally broke this mechanical monster into pieces by relying on the ferocious attacks of the Eight Desolates True Energy and passive skills such as the Rebound and the Brutal Strike.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the mechanical mutant, “Steel Body III”. Do you want to absorb it?]

[Steel Body III

Type: High bronze passive skill

All damage taken is reduced by 15%.]

“It’s not an upgrade of the Copper Skin Iron Bones passive skill, but a new defensive passive skill.” Zhou Chen had thought that after killing this monster, he would obtain a high bronze rank Copper Skin Iron Bones. Now, the outcome seemed to be better than he had expected. He had obtained a new passive skill that could reduce all types of damage.

“Absorb!” Zhou Chen naturally did not hesitate to absorb such an excellent passive skill.

Soon, as this new passive skill was absorbed, Zhou Chen felt his body become sturdier. He had a feeling that he could face gunshots without being injured.

“I’m walking further and further down the path of a tank.”

He stepped over the parts of the monster and followed the direction shown by the locator to catch up to Teresa.

After passing a crooked alley, an empty wide road, and a building, he got closer and closer to the location indicated by the locator.

“They’re quite fast, they’ve already run so far.”

According to the distance displayed on the locator, Zhou Chen knew that things were going smoothly for Teresa and the others. They should not have encountered many monsters along the way.

However, a few minutes later, when Zhou Chen was 500 meters away from them, a long, green, twisted branch suddenly crawled out of the window of a building far away from him and attacked him.

“What the hell? A mutated plant monster?”

The green twisted branch quickly retreated into the window of the building after failing to ambush Zhou Chen. It did not attack Zhou Chen again, but Zhou Chen was not going to let it go.

“Let’s kill it first. Maybe another passive skill will drop.”

Without hesitation, he increased his speed and ran towards the building.

His actions agitated the monster in the window. It extended its branches to attack him again, and the number of branches that extended increased from one to three.

“It should be more troublesome the closer I am to it. I should have asked Teresa for a bomb.”

As he approached the window where the monster was, Zhou Chen agilely dodged the whipping branches. Because his agility was very high and he had the support of the Windrun skill, he could still deal with these attacks.

However, he was displeased that his attack range was too short. He had to get close to the monster. If he had a bomb in his hand, he could have thrown it from far away.

After approaching the window again, Zhou Chen entered within 20 meters of the plant monster. At this distance, he directly launched his only long-range attack at the window: Fire Breath.

The explosive fire attribute energy flew out of Zhou Chen’s mouth, bringing with it a high temperature flame that was becoming wider and wider. Then, it blasted into the window, causing a strange sharp cry.

“Hehe, this plant-type monster is indeed afraid of fire.”

Although Zhou Chen’s fire attack did not kill the monster, the monster let out a sharp cry that was similar to a scream. This meant that Zhou Chen’s strategy of using fire was correct.

After Zhou Chen used fire, the monster did not attack again, as if it had already fled. action

“What are you pretending for? You are still inside.”

There was no movement from the building, and he could not see what was inside. However, Zhou Chen did not think that the monster had fled, because he knew from his perception that there was still a powerful hostile aura lingering in the room!

This perception ability was not from the Bloodthirst, because there was no blood flowing in the monster’s body. Zhou Chen had discovered the other party with the simplest perception brought about by his 3.9 Spirit.

After all, he was only about twenty meters away from the monster. The monster’s aura was quite strong, so it was not difficult for him to sense it.

“It’s hiding there, is it waiting for me to enter? It’s quite cunning.” Zhou Chen felt that this plant had some intelligence. “But I won’t go in. I’ll just continue to spray fire on you from outside!”

Since he knew that it would be dangerous to enter that room, Zhou Chen naturally would not walk into the trap. He jumped up high and used his Windrun skill to get closer to the window. Then, he spewed out the remaining fire energy in his body!

The moment Zhou Chen jumped, seven to eight black branches immediately crawled out of the window and swept towards him.

However, Zhou Chen had long expected this. He used the Windrun skill’s floating movement ability to dodge in a tricky angle, avoiding the branches. Then, the flames spewed from his mouth covered the branches.

The black branches were destroyed by the flames, and it turned to ashes in the blink of an eye. Then, Zhou Chen aimed the flames at the depths of the window and focused on attacking the main body of the monster.

His actions proved to be effective. The monster let out an even more ear-piercing screech than before, while also producing a huge tremor.

The building in front of Zhou Chen started to collapse. Branches that were emitting black smoke drilled out of the cracks in the building and, like the limbs of an animal, bent down to support a pot-like main body, quickly escaping from this collapsed nest.

“This is a monster transformed from a potted plant?” Zhou Chen looked at the monster and couldn’t help but guess that it was a mutated indoor potted plant.

As the thought flashed through his mind, he jumped high and stepped across the crumbling building to chase after it.

Since he had already forced it into such a situation, he naturally would not let it continue to live.

Zhou Chen continued to spray some of the remaining fire attribute energy in his body. After exhausting the fire energy, he bombarded the monster with Eight Desolates True Energy, ending its life.
