Chapter 32: Woman, Ambush
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After killing these lizard monsters, Zhou Chen took out the bottle of mineral water that had just dropped and drank it in one go.
He still felt a little thirsty, but it was no longer as uncomfortable as before.
Then, he opened his character interface and looked at his new passive skill, Body Regeneration I.
“Not a bad passive skill. A month for regeneration is too long. If only the time taken was a few days, but in that case, this passive skill would not be at the low bronze rank.”
Then, he opened his inventory and took out the cactus cudgel. He was instantly shocked by the dense spikes on it.
“What a terrifying weapon, It will definitely be an unforgettable experience to be hit by it.” action
After checking his gains, Zhou Chen stepped over the lizard corpses and continued forward.
Although he could not see what was in the distance from the ground, he had seen the endpoint from the high slope, so he was full of motivation.
After walking for a while, he encountered the skateboarding woman he had seen earlier. She was the second young woman who had asked him for the coke at the start.
At this moment, this woman looked much more miserable than before. Her clothes were covered in dirt and some blood.
She was sitting on her skateboard and drinking water. There was a claymore stuck in the sand beside her, and around her were the broken limbs of some lizard monsters.
When she saw Zhou Chen approach, she immediately raised her head and drank all the mineral water in the bottle, as if to prevent Zhou Chen from snatching it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhou Chen was a little speechless. Although he was still a little thirsty, he would not go so far as to steal other people’s water.
“I didn’t expect you to catch up so quickly…”
The young woman placed the empty bottle in her inventory and looked up at Zhou Chen.
“Well, it did take some time.”
Zhou Chen smiled.
“Are you interested in teaming up and walking to the oasis together?”
She then invited Zhou Chen.
“Thank you for the invitation, but there’s no need. I’m still more used to being alone.”
Zhou Chen refused without hesitation and walked past her.
The woman didn’t say anything. She just stood up and stored the sword in her inventory space. Then, she stepped on the skateboard with one foot and slid with the other. Soon, she overtook Zhou Chen.
One walked while the other moved on the skateboard. The distance between them gradually increased.
After about fifteen minutes, Zhou Chen saw the female skateboarder in the distance stop and take out the claymore to fight some large centipede monsters.
After about ten seconds, Zhou Chen saw her running back with more than ten desert blade worms chasing after her.
“There are too many…”
Zhou Chen felt some pressure as he looked at the incoming desert blade worms. After some thought, he looked at the woman who had already neared him.
“Kill these monsters together!”
With that, he held the spear and walked around the side.
He did not even need to do anything to attract the attention of these monsters. After they discovered him, they quickly split up and charged at him.
Zhou Chen waved the spear fast, and his footsteps were nimble as well. Within a second, he stabbed three holes in a desert blade worm and made it lie on the ground.
However, the other blade worms were also close to him. Two of them even burrowed into the sand and were about to attack.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to escape to prevent himself from being surrounded.
After pulling some distance, he suddenly turned around and stabbed a blade worm.
After fighting using a flanking maneuver, Zhou Chen finally sent the blade worms that were chasing him to the afterlife.
When he rushed to support the skateboarder, he realized that she was in quite a danger.
Her legs seemed to be injured, and her movements were no longer agile. She could only use her claymore to fight the last two blade worms head-on. She was almost cut by the long fangs of the blade worms several times.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen arrived in time. He pierced through a blade worm with his spear and helped her kill the last one, allowing her to survive.
“Heh… How embarrassing… I was actually beaten by a few… worms… to such a sorry state…”
The woman fell to the ground. Her face was pale and she was panting heavily.
“We’ve exhausted most of our strength on the way here. Of course, it won’t be easy to fight them.”
Zhou Chen knew that with this woman’s normal strength, it would probably not be so difficult to deal with these blade worms. However, she had exhausted too much of her stamina on the previous journey, and her combat strength had plummeted.
“Your stamina seems to be quite sufficient…”
She looked at Zhou Chen, who was standing on the ground, and smiled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No, I only look okay. Actually, I am about to run out of stamina too.”
Zhou Chen shook his head.
“You better get up and sit on the skateboard. The temperature on the ground is too high.”
He then suggested to the young woman on the ground.
“Thank you… I’ll be up soon… Why don’t you leave first… I’ll only burden you if I team up with you…”
The woman continued.
“I won’t leave so soon. I need to recover some energy first.”
Zhou Chen replied calmly. He really needed to rest.
He looked around and prepared to find a slightly cooler spot to sit.
Suddenly, he felt a slight tremor under his feet. A strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.
Without hesitation, he jumped back and stabbed the spear into the sand.
However, his spear did not seem to hit the target. He only saw two long sharp fangs reach out from under the woman beside him. They closed and cut her into two from her chest.
Blood spurted. Zhou Chen did not hesitate. He pulled out the spear, and the moment the monster opened its two long fangs again, he stabbed the spear into the gap between the woman’s two broken parts and stabbed it deep into the monster’s mouth.
An ear-piercing cry of pain immediately sounded from under the sand. Zhou Chen stabbed deeper and deeper with the spear until the monster below stopped moving.
[Passive Predator triggered: You have plundered a superior “Physique Enhancement I” passive skill. It will automatically replace the existing skill.]
When the monster died, Zhou Chen heard the emotionless announcement from the system.
The skateboarder was already dead. Zhou Chen looked at her dead face and bent down to close her eyes.
“I made a gain… but I can’t feel happy at all.”
Zhou Chen picked up the claymore from the ground and placed it in his inventory.. He felt particularly exhausted.
