Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

Chapter 69: Stone Puppet Study

action

After walking down the stairs and crossing a short passage, Zhou Chen arrived at a place that seemed to be an underground square.

This place was very spacious, it could easily hold more than a hundred football fields. A large number of stone pillars supported the high ceiling. There were strange buildings or stone objects that looked imposing or bleak.

After observing for a while, Zhou Chen realized that something seemed to be moving behind the pile of stones in the distance, so he walked over.

After he and the long-haired girl walked closer, they saw two groups of ancient stone soldiers patrolling behind a cube-shaped stone building.

There were twenty soldiers in each group. All of them were holding pikes, and walked back and forth in a very orderly fashion.

In the middle of their patrolling path was a wooden box.

“I have to obtain this box, but it’s a little difficult to deal with so many stone soldiers. I can’t fight them head-on.”

Zhou Chen had fought with the stone warrior with the long-handle saber on the first floor and knew how troublesome it was. It was tanky, strong, and did not have any obvious weakness.

Although the stone soldiers in front seemed to be weaker than the stone warrior, there were too many of them. Zhou Chen felt that it would be a hard fight.

After hiding behind a pile of stones and observing their movements for a while, Zhou Chen made a decision. He planned to charge over and grab the treasure chest when the two groups of stone soldiers were the furthest away from each other.

This strategy was very simple, but it seemed to be worth a try. Even if it failed, there was still room for escape.

Three minutes later, when the two patrolling groups were far away from each other, Zhou Chen decisively activated his Windrun skill and charged forward.

Zhou Chen was very fast in the Windrun state. In just a few seconds, he had crossed a distance of more than a hundred meters and approached the treasure chest. The two patrol teams were more than 30 meters away from him, and they did not seem to have any obvious reaction.

Zhou Chen approached the treasure chest at high speed while observing the situation on both sides. When he was about three meters away from the treasure chest, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet become empty. With a muffled sound, the stone slab under his feet quickly fell.

“There was indeed a trap.”

Zhou Chen was not too surprised. The wooden box was clearly placed on the ground. He felt that it would be weird to not have some traps around it.

Zhou Chen quickly activated the floating ability of the Windrun skill and directly crossed the pit and arrived near the treasure chest.

He then used the spear to throw the treasure chest up, and his body charged forward to catch it.

After obtaining the treasure chest, he immediately made his retreat, crossing the pit behind him and fleeing.

At this moment, he realized that the stone soldiers on both sides were already chasing after him. Their speed was not slow, so he opened the chest while running and took out the things inside.

The thing in the box was a book. Zhou Chen directly threw it into his inventory and ran with all his might.

The two groups of stone soldiers ran much faster than ordinary people. All of them chased after him persistently, but he was faster. To be precise, he was more than twice as fast as them. After a minute, Zhou Chen shook these stone soldiers off. He hid behind a strange stone building and took out the book from his inventory space to check his gains.

[Stone Puppet Study (Beginner)

Type: Low bronze book

This book is the first part of stone puppet study. It records a lot of knowledge about stone puppets. After learning it, you can create low bronze stone puppets.]

“A supernatural book? Summoner type? Interesting…”

Zhou Chen was immediately interested. After all, this was the first book he had obtained regarding supernatural knowledge.

He opened the slightly thick book and realized that there were words and pictures inside. The words were in standard modern Dragon Country language. Immediately, he felt that it was a little unreliable.

“How can there be such a book in Dragon Country? It’s not even Dragon Country’s ancient language. Is it a translated version by the system?”

No matter how ridiculous the situation seemed, Zhou Chen felt that as long as the system was involved, anything was possible.

“Basic knowledge of stone puppet…”

“Distinguishing and selecting stone materials…”

“The processing method of stones…”

“Manufacturing the basic logic circuit…”

“The production and installation of the energy core…”

…

After casually flipping through it, Zhou Chen realized that the content of this book was very rich. It covered all aspects of the so-called stone puppet.

“As expected, stone puppets refer to stone warriors and stone soldiers. It should be useful to learn it, I’ll take a look when I have time.”

After reading the book for a while, Zhou Chen made the judgment. He could study this book, but it was not likely for him to focus on it. He could only say that he wanted to broaden his horizons.

Just as Zhou Chen was about to place the book in his inventory, a panting person ran over. It was the long-haired girl.

“Why are you running like this? Those stone soldiers aren’t chasing you, right?”

Zhou Chen asked curiously because this girl had stayed behind in safety when he went for the treasure chest. The stone soldiers should not have discovered her.

“You ran too fast. I took a detour and chased after you. I almost lost you.”

The girl replied while regulating her breathing.

“Oh…”

Zhou Chen finally understood. His speed was much faster than ordinary Survivors. Even though he had only run for a few minutes, he had still crossed a long distance, not to mention that she had taken a detour.

“Stone puppet study… Is this a class skill book?”

The girl’s gaze swept across the cover of the book in Zhou Chen’s hand and asked.

“Class? This doesn’t have anything to do with a class. It’s just a knowledge book. I have to learn it myself.”

Zhou Chen felt that it did not matter if she saw the book, and immediately replied.

“I’ve seen relevant posts in the forum. This kind of book has some class-based contents. It’s very valuable.”

The girl looked at the thick book in Zhou Chen’s hand and said, “Can you sell me a copy? I can pay with items or Dragon Country bills.”

“Are you interested in this thing?”

Zhou Chen stared at this girl.

“Actually, it takes time to learn this thing and increase your strength, and I don’t have the follow-up parts. If you offer a suitable price, I have no problem with selling it.”

Zhou Chen felt that he could make copies of this book and sell them because he knew that it was impossible for only him to have this thing. Even if he had it now, others would obtain it in the future. Selling it early might earn him more.

“I can offer any mid bronze weapon or two million Dragon Country bills.”

The long-haired girl immediately gave a price when she saw that Zhou Chen had agreed.

‘??? Is this person rich?’

Zhou Chen was stunned..
