Chapter 67 Revival
After continuing to walk in the mountainous area for a while, a few caves appeared in front of Zhou Chen and the long-haired girl.
Zhou Chen relied on his Bloodthirst's perception to determine which cave had monsters. He directly headed inside that cave because he needed to kill the new monsters to obtain possible passive skills.
Soon, he encountered a few monsters that looked like large rats and one that looked like a baboon, but he quickly destroyed them with his spear.
He continued to walk deeper and was attacked by a few skeletons. These skeletons used bows and arrows to ambush him.
Zhou Chen's strong perception allowed him to discover some clues at the critical moment. He dodged their attacks and quickly broke them apart.
Zhou Chen found a treasure chest near the skeleton monsters. There was a bone flute in the treasure chest.
[Bone Flute
Type: Low bronze weapon
The sound of this bone flute can cause serious discomfort to bronze-ranked listeners other than the user. The longer you listen, the greater the damage will be until you faint and die.]
"This weapon is a little strange…"
Zhou Chen felt that this weapon was a little strange. Unfortunately, he did not know how to play the flute, or he would have definitely tested it.
After putting the bone flute in his inventory, he continued to move through the cave with the quiet long-haired girl.
This process took a long time. Even though they had marked the paths they had already passed through, they were still nowhere near the end of the cave.
After killing some monsters in the cave, Zhou Chen encountered a familiar person: the gray-haired young man.
Zhou Chen had encountered this person at the fire-trap room on the first floor. Later, he had coincidentally rescued him from the Brain Eaters' pursuit. They could be said to have some affinity.
"I'm glad to see you again. Let's team up."
This young man seemed to be happy when he saw Zhou Chen in the cave and suggested that they team up.
"Let's talk about teaming up later. Can you tell me where you're from?"
Zhou Chen did not agree to this person's invitation. Instead, he asked him with a serious expression.
"Where am I from? I'm a Survivor like you."
The young man was puzzled.
"But I didn't see you at the start of this Survival mission."
Zhou Chen pointed out the flaw.
"There are a total of seven men and three women in this Survival mission. You are not among the seven men."
"You must have remembered wrong…"
The young man pondered after hearing Zhou Chen's words.
"There were clearly six of us in the beginning, there should be five men and one woman."
His voice became softer and softer, and his expression quickly darkened.
"Have you remembered?"
Zhou Chen was not surprised to see the strange change in him. He even dropped a bomb, "Touch your chest and see if there's still a heartbeat there."
The reason why he said this was because he did not feel any blood flowing inside this person with his Bloodthirst skill. The person was dead!
"No need…"
The gray-haired young man's face had already turned ashen. This was not a description, his appearance had changed literally. His entire person had turned into a burnt charcoal-like state, looking very terrifying.
"I remember now, I was pushed into the fire-trap room by my companions and burned to death."
His voice turned deep, as if he was undergoing a transformation.
"Can you tell me how you revived?"
Zhou Chen tightened his grip on the spear and asked calmly.
"I don't know, it should be the system."
He replied with a hoarse voice.
"Then why did the system revive you?"
Zhou Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Revive? There's no such thing at all! Hahaha!"
The young man suddenly started laughing loudly.
"I'm not him! I'm a new life! I'm a new, higher life form!"
His charred body seemed to have gone mad.
"It's… difficult to communicate…"
Seeing this, Zhou Chen stabbed the spear in his hand straight into the chest of this charred man.
"It's useless! Such a wound is meaningless to me!"
The charred man who had been pierced in the chest by Zhou Chen's spear laughed sinisterly. It extended its black claws and grabbed at Zhou Chen, not caring about the spear that was still on its chest.
Zhou Chen did not panic when facing this gray-haired young man who had already turned into a monster. He exerted strength in his hand and picked up the monster with the spear and threw it to the cave wall.
Then, he quickly followed. The spear in his hand stabbed through the forehead and throat of the charred monster that had yet to stand up, even cutting off one of its arms.
This monster was still not dead after these new injuries, but its mobility and intelligence seemed to have decreased. It raised its charred head and looked at Zhou Chen, roaring as it charged at him savagely.
"Its endurance and speed are ordinary, but it doesn't seem to have any fatal points."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly and retreated while changing the spear in his hand to an ax.
However, before he could fight this charred monster again, the long-haired girl who had been standing nearby suddenly charged over.
She directly smashed her war hammer onto the head of this charred monster whose forehead had been pierced by the spear, causing its broken head to be smashed. Then, she ruthlessly smashed the hammer into its body, claws, and legs, quickly crushing it into a pile of charred fragments.
"Huff huff, It should be dead."
The long-haired girl immediately took two steps back and took a deep breath. Then, she turned to look at Zhou Chen.
"Most likely, but let's observe a little more."
Zhou Chen stared at the charred remains on the ground and nodded.
"Didn't you want to remain idle? Why did you suddenly become active?"
He smiled at her and asked.
"It's too evil. We can't let it leave this place."
The girl replied calmly.
"Hmm… This is the first time I've seen something like this. I wonder if they can return to Planet Blue like us. If they can, that can be quite a mess."
In Zhou Chen's impression, no monsters had appeared on Planet Blue so far. It was quite peaceful overall, but if these strange creatures that had been revived could return to Planet Blue, there would be a huge commotion.
Perhaps this charred monster was far from being powerful, but if a large number or especially powerful ones arrived on Planet Blue, it would definitely cause a huge disaster.
'There should be at least two more of these things in this Survival mission. I hope I can encounter them.'
Zhou Chen did not want the safe environment of the Dragon Country to be destroyed, so he would do his best to get rid of these troubles.. Even if he could only reduce a portion of these monsters, it would be good.
