Zhou Chen randomly chose a cave passage at the fork, and then parted ways with the others.
When dividing the road, he saw Brother Wang and Xiao Li all the way, a tall girl with a knife all the way, and the thin and tall young man running behind him.
"Why is this guy following me? Isn't it okay to chase the girl?"
Seeing a follower behind him, Zhou Chen felt a little upset. He took the initiative to do it alone, and some people insisted on coming over.
After accelerating a little more, Zhou Chen gradually distanced himself from the thin and tall young man behind him.
Not long after he ran like this, he realized that he was lucky. Not only did the thin and tall young man part ways with him at a fork in the road, but the flying monsters that had chased them before did not choose to chase him. In the visual black and white field of vision, he can be sure that there are no monsters in his front and back fifty meters.
"Yes, it's hard for me to deal with the kind of flying insect monsters. It's safe now, and I can start the road to go it alone."
With a more relaxed mood, Zhou Chen walked forward in the current cave passage unhurriedly, paying attention to the surrounding situation at any time.
This cave passage seemed quiet for a while, only the sound of his footsteps and the sound of his sneakers hitting the pebbles.
Suddenly, Zhou Chen felt that something was wrong around him, and it seemed that another kind of slight footsteps came in.
He immediately stopped and looked around, and found that everything seemed to be normal, and he didn't see anything strange near him.
"Is it my illusion?"
Feeling a little puzzled, he held an iron rod in his hand, slowed down a little and moved forward cautiously.
The next time seemed to indicate that he was indeed a little suspicious just now, and nothing suddenly jumped out. Instead, he was the first to spot a long bug monster in front of him that was gnawing on something.
The monster is about one meter in length, with thin arms, and looks a bit like a caterpillar. It looks a little uncomfortable.
But Zhou Chen was not afraid of it. As soon as he found it, he quickly stepped forward and directly gave it an iron rod, which beat it in half, causing its body to shatter and let out disgusting mucus.
But this monster didn't die after being interrupted by Zhou Chen. Instead, it was divided into two parts and crawled towards him and attacked. The mucus from their fractures pulled out filaments on the ground stone.
"You are not dead if you are in two halves? I think you can divide it into several sections!"
Zhou Chen didn't have much pressure on this, because the opponent's speed was really a bit slow, and it was basically for nothing in front of him who was more agile.
Several more sticks hit the worm's remnant body, Zhou Chen steadily retreated, preventing the opponent from touching it with a single vellus hair.
However, at the last moment of his retreat, a strong sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart, and it seemed that there was an abyss of ruin behind him.
At this moment, he chose to believe in his own feelings, suddenly jumped forward, stepped on the stone wall on the side of the cave, and bypassed the remains of the insects to reach the front of it.
As soon as he landed, he turned around and set up an iron rod to observe the situation just now.
Then he saw some clues: around the few bugs who hadn't had time to turn their heads and attacked him, a few small stones were scattered and rolled out of thin air, as if something transparent had stepped on them.
When Zhou Chen saw this, he didn't know what was following him, so he immediately kicked out, kicking some gravel on the ground towards that place.
After the crushed sand was shot out, it encountered inexplicable resistance in the air, and suddenly bounced back.
Zhou Chen immediately stepped forward with a stick and slammed there, hitting the hidden enemy to death.
However, his stick still fell through, and the small rocks on the ground suddenly trembled from near to far, and the opponent seemed to retreat decisively.
Zhou Chen could have chased him at this time, but the remains of a few insects on the ground had already turned and rushed towards him, coming fiercely.
Without thinking about it, Zhou Chen chose to eliminate the enemies in front of him first, and gave up to pursue the unknown target.
Stick after stick, Zhou Chen stayed vigilant while smashing and smashing the remains of the insects on the ground with ease.
As he expected, this kind of bug couldn't maintain its vitality even after the body became fragmented, and it quickly defeated the battle.
[Passive Predator Trigger: You have plundered the cave worm's passive skill "Life Recovery I", do you want to merge it? 】
"Fusion."
Zhou Chen immediately chose Fusion, and then checked its specific content.
【Life Recovery Ⅰ
Type: Bronze preliminary passive skills.
The life recovery capacity of your body is increased to five times the base speed. 】
"Five times? This magnification is quite high, not bad, not bad."
He feels that this passive technique is a bit strong and can effectively enhance his long-term combat capability.
When he was happy, he didn't forget to guard his surroundings. After all, he was followed by an unknown invisible object just now, and the other party was obviously malicious towards him.
"I don't know what the **** it is... Then you must be careful so as not to be attacked by it..."
Relying on the higher perception brought by his higher mental attributes, Zhou Chen can currently determine that the opponent is not within ten meters of him. By observing him, it is possible to judge that the opponent is not within thirty meters of him, but is it following him? It is impossible to be sure from a little farther away, so he must be careful, this kind of invisible monster is far more dangerous than the viciousness of the entity.
After slowing down a bit, Zhou Chen left the place and continued to proceed cautiously along the cave tunnel. Every few steps he walked, he would observe whether there were any abnormalities in his surroundings.
After about a quarter of an hour, he encountered another batch of monsters.
There were six monsters in total this time. They were mouse-shaped monsters the size of a domestic cat. As soon as their red eyes appeared from the depths of the cave, they rushed towards Zhou Chen with a clear target.
Zhou Chen didn't panic at all when he saw it, but accelerated forward, directly holding the stick to one enemy six.
I saw that he first squashed the head of a rat-like monster in front of him with a stick, then kicked the other monster that rushed forward fiercely, and then slammed his left fist to the side, slamming another one. The monster that jumped at him from the side directly hit the cave wall with a muffled noise.
After squatting on the front three, Zhou Chen moved flexibly, avoiding the other three surrounding them, and the iron rods in his hands were also slammed down one after another.
In the end, only one of the six rat-shaped monsters bit Zhou Chen's trousers a bit, and before it really hurt him, they all lay down in the cave.
But Zhou Chen was not happy after completing this record quickly, because he found that he had neither exploded passive skills nor exploded rewards, which can be said to be a waste of energy.
"This system is really awkward... I killed six monsters anyway, don't you give me some passive skills and rewards? Even if it's just a dagger..."
