Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills

The black-robed young man looked a little surprised by Zhou Chen's sudden appearance, but the pale middle-aged man in front of him and the two armed skeletons did not show any hesitation and directly attacked.

The two armed skeletons charged to the front and attacked Zhou Chen with a sword and hammer. The pale middle-aged man took two steps back and began to chant softly.

Zhou Chen did not retreat at all when faced with the attacks of the two armed skeletons. He extended his spear and swept their weapons to the side. Then, he thrust his spear twice. The neck bones of the two skeletons were directly broken, and their heads fell.

Zhou Chen charged in and knocked over the two skeletons, stabbing his spear at the pale middle-aged man who was chanting.

The pale middle-aged man did not stop his chanting because a thick white bone wall suddenly crawled out of the ground between him and Zhou Chen's spear.

Zhou Chen immediately used all his strength and stabbed the bone wall repeatedly with his spear, quickly cracking it. Then, he kicked it hard, shattering it like a tile.

After dismantling the bone wall, he sensed the two headless skeletons stand up again.

However, Zhou Chen ignored them and stabbed the spear at the pale middle-aged man who was still chanting.

This time, the pale middle-aged man had to stop chanting. He raised his hands and blocked the spear.

Zhou Chen felt a huge resistance from the spear shaft. He realized that this seemingly sickly person was quite strong. He immediately increased his strength, making the spear quickly slide past the man's palm and stab into his neck.

The spearhead did not pierce through the man's neck. There was a lot of resistance, as if his neck was made of rock.

"This person is quite troublesome."

This thought flashed across Zhou Chen's mind. Then, an ax appeared in his left hand, and he swung it behind him, knocking away the sword of a headless skeleton.

Then, he used all his strength and stabbed the spear into the pale middle-aged man's neck, and charged towards the black-robed youth with the spear.

The black-robed young man finished chanting a spell. A few bone spears appeared out of thin air and shot at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen used the middle-aged man on the spear as a shield to block these bone spears. Then, he threw the middle-aged man behind him toward the two headless skeletons.

There were no longer any obstacles between Zhou Chen and the black-robed young man. He charged over like lightning and pierced through the black-robed young man's neck.

After the black-robed youth died, Zhou Chen immediately turned around to finish the remaining few. However, he realized that the two skeletons and the middle-aged man were motionless, as if they had dropped dead.

"Are these three the summoned creatures of this guy?"

Zhou Chen guessed.

Zhou Chen poked with the spear and confirmed that the few enemies in the grave had no breath left. Then, he began to check the things here, hoping to gain something.

He first checked the black-robed youth's body and found a short bone staff in his hand. Beside his feet was a torn scroll and a potion bottle in his pocket.

The bone staff, scroll, and potion bottle were marked. One was an Unholy Staff that could increase the effect of necromancy spells, the other was a curse scroll that was now damaged, and the last was a mana potion that could replenish magic power.

After throwing the bone staff and potion into his inventory, Zhou Chen checked the pale middle-aged man's body. After finding nothing, he cast his gaze to the other places in the grave.

The space in the grave was not small. Apart from a few empty stone coffins, there was a bed, a desk, and a cabinet.

After searching the innermost cabinet, Zhou Chen found dry bread, potatoes, unknown materials, clothes, and a book in several drawers.

This book was also marked by the system as 'Necromancer's Notes'.

"This person is really a necromancer…"

Zhou Chen had guessed the identity of the young man and was not surprised. He then flipped through the book.

Soon, he realized that this book was talking about the basic knowledge of the necromancer. By following the methods on the book, one could step on the path of the necromancer, master some basic necromancy spells, and learn to make some curse scrolls and undead puppets.

"Becoming a necromancer increases the spirit attribute and reduces the physique attribute, allowing the body to gradually develop in the direction of the undead. No wonder I felt that there was a problem with the blood of the two people here."

After reading through the notebook briefly, Zhou Chen's doubts were resolved. He had a guess at the pale middle-aged man's identity and guessed that he should be a zombie made by the black-robed youth, a half-dead monster.

"The necromancy spell is really evil. It can actually turn a living person into a puppet that is neither dead nor alive."

After sighing, Zhou Chen threw the book into his inventory.

Zhou Chen continued to search the grave for a while and did not find anything more. The tall girl walked in at this moment.

She looked a little pale and did not seem to have completely recovered from the previous attack.

"Was it he who attacked just now?"

The girl looked at the black-robed youth's corpse and asked Zhou Chen.

"Yes, this person is a necromancer. He probably wanted to use us as undead materials. Forget about him, let's clean this place up and spend the night here."

Zhou Chen answered her and began to drag the corpses out of the grave, preparing to drag them somewhere far away.

"Are we not going to take a look at the direction he showed?"

The tall girl was a little hesitant in spending the night in this grave.

"Who knows if it's real or not. Anyway, it's almost dark. This place can shelter us from the wind and rain, and there is some food too. It will do for now."

The girl stopped thinking and began to help clean up the place.

Half an hour later, the grave looked much more clean and habitable. They had even started a fire.

Zhou Chen and the tall girl ate some food left behind by the young man. They huddled around the fire while discussing the plan for the night.

"One of us will sleep till midnight while the other keeps watch, and we will rotate at midnight."

"Alright, if possible, I want to sleep for the first half of the night because my head still hurts. I want to rest as soon as possible."

The tall girl agreed to Zhou Chen's arrangements and suggested that she sleep during the first half of the night and keep watch during the latter half.

"Sure."

Zhou Chen immediately agreed. He was in a good state now, so it was not a problem for him to continue staying up through the night.. However, in order to recover to his peak condition, he planned to rest for the night.
