Zhou Chen explored the dark cave at a moderate pace.
He did not encounter anything, neither monsters nor treasures, even after walking for more than an hour. Occasionally, he found some traces of blood, indicating that a battle had occurred there.
“Is there not much in this area or has everything been looted already?”
While he was thinking, Zhou Chen walked into a new passage and continued his exploration.
He had the perfect kit to explore this place. His Dark Vision allowed him to see in the darkness, and the Breath Holding passive skill let him explore places with insufficient oxygen for a long time. There was basically no need for logistic support.
After walking in the dark and winding passage for more than ten minutes, Zhou Chen suddenly heard some movements ahead and saw some light.
“Is it that mercenary group?”
Zhou Chen looked around and saw that there was no place to hide in the narrow space. He took out the Invisibility potion and prepared to drink it.
A few minutes later, the light in front became more and more obvious, revealing the figure of a man running with a lamp in his hand.
Zhou Chen determined that there were three of them through the Bloodthirst passive skill, and all of them were injured.
“Faster! Faster!”
The man at the front shouted as he ran, as if something terrifying was chasing after them.
“There are no other blood flows behind them… Are some non-blood monsters chasing after them?”
Zhou Chen had already drunk some Invisibility Potion and was hiding by the cave wall.
The three fleeing people clearly did not sense that there was another person hiding there. They quickly ran past Zhou Chen.
These people quickly disappeared from his sight, and Zhou Chen continued walking. His invisibility effect disappeared soon after.
He had already slowed down his exploration speed and increased his vigilance, because he knew that there was danger ahead.
However, he was not afraid of danger. He was even looking forward to it because he had not obtained a new passive skill for several days. He was a little thirsty with desire.
After walking in the dark passage for about half a minute, Zhou Chen’s Bloodthirst passive skill suddenly gave him a response: There was a person in front.
This person was very strange, because his blood gave a cold feeling to Zhou Chen. Moreover, his speed was really fast. Just as Zhou Chen sensed the person from a hundred meters away, the latter arrived in front of him.
Zhou Chen immediately saw with his Dark Vision a thin man with a gloomy expression. He was wearing a gorgeous robe and had a pair of eyes that emitted a faint red light.
Zhou Chen immediately guessed what this was and immediately stabbed with his spear.
However, his thrust missed. The thin man in the gorgeous dress moved past the spear at an astonishing speed. Then, he extended his sharp fingernails toward Zhou Chen’s chest.
Zhou Chen’s reaction could not keep up with the man’s speed. Before his arm could return to defend, the other party’s long nails pierced through his Snow Wolf Skin Armor.
Zhou Chen was sent flying. The thin man raised his fingers that only had a slight trace of blood and revealed a surprised expression.
“Holy Light!”
While the thin man was distracted, Zhou Chen had already stood up. A dazzling white ball of light appeared above his left hand.
This was the first time he had used this skill in battle. He could have used it a few days ago when he was fighting the necromancer, but he was able to resolve all the issues with his spear. Now, he could not be careless anymore, because he felt that this fellow who he guessed was a vampire was very strong, and it gave him a considerable sense of threat.
“Ah!”
The moment the Holy Light Spell was used, the thin man not far away from Zhou Chen let out a miserable cry. Smoke began to rise from his face and he instantly fell to the ground. However, before he completely fell, he flipped over like a ghost and began to flee in a sorry state.
However, how could Zhou Chen let him off? He immediately activated Windrun and chased after it while maintaining the Holy Light in his hand.
This suspected vampire’s speed had clearly decreased after being affected by the Holy Light Spell, but it was still very fast. Zhou Chen had to chase for a while before closing the distance.
He reached out and pressed the Holy Light ball to this person’s back; immediately, the man’s body started to corrode.
The suspected vampire could no longer run, or rather, it was about to disappear into ashes. It screamed and struggled while trying to slash Zhou Chen’s arm with its claws.
However, in its current state, its attacks had weakened greatly. Even its claws were mostly destroyed by the Holy Light, and it could not cause obvious damage to Zhou Chen’s body which was enhanced by various defensive passive skills.
Zhou Chen knew this as well. After realizing that this thing could not run, he deactivated his Windrun skill and focused on maintaining the Holy Light to deal continuous damage.
After maintaining the Holy Light for more than ten seconds, Zhou Chen heard the long-awaited system announcement.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Vampire Baron’s passive skills, “Physique Enhancement II, Agility Enhancement II, Dark Vision II, Bloodthirst II”. Detected that they are superior to your current passive skills. They will automatically be replaced.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Vampire Baron’s passive skills “Dynamic Vision II, Undying II”. Do you want to absorb?]
“Absorb!”
Instantly, Zhou Chen felt a lot of mysterious energy entering his body, making him feel that his body had become much stronger.
He immediately opened his character interface to check.
