Chapter 30: Killing and Continuing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The suited young man whose spear was grabbed and pulled by Zhou Chen with great force was sowhat shocked. He did not expect that the Dragon Country youth he had tried to make trouble for would be so powerful that even his two hands could not pull the spear out of the latter’s one hand..
He had the talent ‘Strongman’ which gave him 0.4 to physique, and his strength was much greater than many Survivors.
Seeing that he could not pull the spear back at all, in a mont of desperation, the suited young man kicked Zhou Chen with his right leg, preparing to coordinate with the other white youth who was approaching Zhou Chen’s back.
Zhou Chen was maintaining his strong perception to check the situation at all tis. He waved the iron rod in his hand and broke the suited young man’s right leg into two. Then, he suddenly pulled the spear with his left hand and turned around, using the spear he had snatched to force back the other white youth.
The suited young man imdiately fell to the ground and scread. He continued screaming while crawling away from this terrifying demon.
However, how could Zhou Chen let him off? He flipped the spear in his hand and stabbed it down, piercing through the suited young man’s heart.
As for the young man’s original ally, the dagger-wielding white youth, he had already begun running in the direction of the bone path. He was very fast. In just two seconds, he had run nearly 30 ters, and had no intention of turning back to save his ally.
Zhou Chen turned around and looked at the direction the young man was fleeing in. After a mont of silence, he did not choose to chase after him. Instead, he bent down and picked up a lighter from the ground. This was the item that had dropped after killing the young man in the suit. He did not know in which Survival mission the young man had obtained this item.
Zhou Chen then placed the lighter and iron rod in his inventory and took out the remaining half of the coke to drink.
He did not have much stamina left, and his condition was not good due to his injuries. Otherwise, he would definitely continue to chase after the other foreigner.
Soon, faint rustling sounds ca from behind. Zhou Chen knew that a small number of scorpion monsters that were still chasing him, had caught up. He did not continue to run because there were not even a hundred of them. He could completely deal with them. After killing them, he might even get so drops.
He quickly stabbed with the spear. Every ti he stabbed, he would pierce through the shell of a scorpion monster. As he stabbed, he retreated. From ti to ti, he would add an area-of-effect attack like sweeping. In less than a minute, he killed all the scorpions.
[You have killed the Desert Stinger. Reward: 1 Mineral Water (Low Bronze)]
After the round of killing, Zhou Chen did not obtain any equipnt rewards and only obtained a bottle of mineral water.
“It seems like the drop rate of mineral water is much higher than equipnt.”
Zhou Chen rembered that this was the second ti he had obtained mineral water. From the looks of it, this setting was probably a form of protection given to them by the system to prevent them from dying from dehydration in this hot desert.
Zhou Chen took out the mineral water from his inventory and drank a few mouthfuls. He realized that the remaining thirst he had after drinking the coke had completely disappeared.
“Speaking of which, I’ve killed quite a number of these so-called Desert Stingers, why didn’t any passive skill drop? Logically speaking, there should be at least so poison passive skill.”
Looking at the broken scorpion corpses in front of him, Zhou Chen felt that they might be different from the scorpions in his impression. Perhaps they were not poisonous.
“These little things might not be poisonous, but the spikes on their tails pack a punch. My legs are still hurting, and they stabbed quite deeply too.”
When Zhou Chen had escaped the quicksand earlier, he had been attacked by so scorpion monsters. At that ti, he did not feel much pain due to the adrenaline. Now that he was in a relatively safe state, he felt a piercing pain in his body.
After feeling that it was becoming unbearable, Zhou Chen took out the bottle of healing potion from his inventory and took a small sip.
The healing potion looked bright red, but it had no taste when drunk, similar to mineral water.
After drinking this small mouthful of healing potion, Zhou Chen only waited for ten seconds before he felt the pain in his body reduce greatly. His stamina seed to have been slightly restored too. The effect of the healing potion could be said to be instantaneous.
Seeing that he had almost recovered, Zhou Chen put the healing potion back into his inventory and set off again with the spear.
He had only walked a portion of the desert bone path, and the remaining distance was still quite long.
“I hope I can finish it before dark.”
Zhou Chen planned to end this Survival mission as soon as possible. He did not want to stay through the night, because he felt that the night in the desert would be even more dangerous.
The Survival mission this ti was different from what he had experienced in the past. He only needed to reach the oasis on the other side of the bone path. There was no ti limit. In addition, the system had said that the entire distance was fifty kiloters, so in theory, this Survival mission could be finished during the day.
In fact, if not for the fact that it was difficult to walk in the desert and the unbearable heat, and that he had to avoid the quicksand and monsters, Zhou Chen felt that with his current physical strength, he would only need three hours to finish the journey.
After continuing to walk in the desert for more than an hour, Zhou Chen felt thirsty again. His stamina had decreased, and he felt hot and tired.
“I should be halfway there, I need to keep going. I hope I can encounter so monsters soon.”
Due to his thirst, he had already drunk the last of the coke and mineral water. He could only hope that he would encounter so easier monsters and have them drop so mineral water.
However, the system’s arrangents often went against the wishes. When Zhou Chen wanted to hurry up, he would encounter various quicksand terrain and monster attacks. When he wanted to run into monsters and drink so water, he could not even see the shadow of a monster. Instead, he saw a towering sandstone slope in the distance.
“This system is really not human…”
Zhou Chen had already felt rather uncomfortable walking in the hot desert. He did not expect the system to make him challenge the climb.
He looked up at the high slope in the distance and realized that the bone path was in the middle. It was difficult to circle around it, so he braced himself and walked over.
Half an hour later, he arrived below the high slope.
Then, under the high slope, he found a person lying on the ground. Half of the person’s body was buried in the sand, and it looked like he had been buried in peace.
“Help…”
A weak voice ca from the front, making Zhou Chen realize that the other party was not dead.
