The faint cries of a few people and the roars of monsters came from the stairs. Zhou Chen knew that at least three Survivors were fighting monsters inside.
“Monsters are guarding the stairs?”
Zhou Chen was immediately interested. He walked cautiously into the stairs.
Just as he reached the corner of the stairs, he encountered a man who was running up. There was a large cut on the man’s shirt, and blood was flowing from it.
He hurriedly came up the stairs and ran past Zhou Chen without saying a word.
Zhou Chen was even more careful when he saw this. He slowed down and walked to the bottom of the stairs, where he saw a hall.
There was a battle going on in the hall. Two men and one woman were fighting a two-meter tall monster that looked like a bear.
The monster had thick fur and long claws. It was very strong and agile. Any of its casual strikes could give the Survivors a hard time.
Behind the monster was a thick, sealed iron door. There was a keyhole in the middle of the iron door. As for the key, Zhou Chen guessed it was the key that the bear monster was wearing on the neck.
The thin man and the long-haired girl were attacking the bear monster. The other was a muscular young man holding a cudgel and a shield. He was clearly the tank. Of the three, only he was able to keep on standing after being hit by the monster’s claws.
“Let me help!”
The few of them looked like they were going to collapse soon. Zhou Chen could not ignore it. After all, this iron door that led to the second floor would have to be opened sooner or later.
Wind blew under his feet. In the blink of an eye, he charged to the side of the bear monster and stabbed the spear tip into its eyes.
However, this bear monster was not a weak opponent since even several Survivors could not defeat it.
It raised its right claw and flung away the hammer that was thrown by the long-haired girl, and protected its eyes to block the spear.
Seeing that his attack had failed, Zhou Chen immediately retreated and moved to the back of the bear monster, the spear tip piercing towards the anus.
This time it was a half-success. He stabbed the bear monster’s furry butt, but not where he really wanted to stab.
A huge resistance came from the spear tip as if he had stabbed into a wall. He could not pierce it any deeper than two centimeters.
“This monster’s body is so hard. No wonder so many armed Survivors could not knock it down.”
Zhou Chen had a plan. After sensing the bear monster wave its claws and knock back the few people before turning around to face him, he immediately began to circle around its back.
However, his earlier attack seemed to have completely infuriated this monster. This monster ignored the other three Survivors and chased after him, leaving drops of blood behind.
Zhou Chen felt a lot of pressure. He felt that he could not dawdle any longer and had to use all his strength.
He first led the bear monster to a corner of the hall. After the bear monster approached angrily, he suddenly used the Windrun skill to step on the wall and climb vertically to the top of the wall. Then, he ran back down from the ceiling at high speed and arrived above the bear monster’s head. Then, he suddenly jumped, flipped in the air, and landed on the bear monster’s broad shoulders. At this moment, the spear in his hand had changed to a machete, and the sharp edge stabbed into the bear monster’s eyes and sunk into its brain.
The bear monster’s claws that were raised and ready to attack him immediately drooped down weakly, and its tall body fell to the ground.
This entire process was completed within seconds. Zhou Chen had caught the bear monster off guard and attacked its blind spot, making it unable to react in time.
When the ground shook from the fall of the bear monster, the three Survivors who had rushed over to support also looked at Zhou Chen, who was standing beside the bear monster’s corpse, with a slightly shocked expression.
In their eyes, the maneuvers of this masked man were quite cool. In an instant, he killed the monster that was chasing after him. In particular, his movements were smooth, making it look like special effects.
While they were shocked, Zhou Chen reached out and took the key from the bear monster’s neck while listening to the system’s announcement.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Hairy Beast’s passive skill “Physique Enhancement I”. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
‘There’s only Physique Enhancement? It’s a gatekeeper, shouldn’t it drop something?’
Zhou Chen was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. He picked up the key and placed it in his pants pocket before turning around and walking towards the stairs.
“Aren’t you going to open the door?”
The muscular young man not far away immediately frowned and asked when he saw Zhou Chen do this.
“No hurry, wait till I finish plundering the first level.”
From Zhou Chen’s point of view, if he did not clear the first level, he would not be at ease going to the second level. At the same time, he would not be kind enough to open the door for those who wanted to go down first, because that would probably cause him to lose treasure chests.
“You’re too selfish! We just want to clear the dungeon quickly!”
The muscular young man walked forward and reprimanded Zhou Chen.
“Hehe, the key is with me. I call the shots.”
Zhou Chen smiled indifferently and walked past him to the stairs.
A trace of anger appeared on the muscular young man’s face. He wanted to flare up, but he quickly controlled himself and followed Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was also paying attention to the situation behind him as he walked. If this person tried to do anything, then he would not be able to walk out of this place alive today.
The other two Survivors, the thin young man and the long-haired girl, did not speak. The thin young man quickly walked to the staircase leading to the top. As for the long-haired girl, she sat on the ground, as if she wanted to wait for Zhou Chen to return and open the door.
After Zhou Chen returned to the first floor, he began to mark the walls with the spear. He would be able to quickly find the way when he returned.
After walking for a while, he realized that there were two extras behind him. They were the muscular young man and the thin young man.
“Don’t follow me. I’ll open the door later.”
Zhou Chen said impatiently.
“But what if you get into an accident and don’t come back?”
