Chapter 16: Encountering Monsters

The red dots approached from afar and soon arrived not far away from them, allowing them to see their appearance under the muscular young man’s torchlight.

They were a dozen strange gray-skinned creatures that looked like monkeys. They were not tall and were less than 1.4 meters tall. Their faces were ugly like ghosts, and their eyes were blood-red. Their lips protruded forward, revealing sharp teeth.

When these gray monkey monsters saw the five people in front of them, they immediately grinned and let out violent cries. Then, they suddenly accelerated and charged towards them.

“These monsters aren’t strong. Let’s kill them all.”

The muscular young man, Brother Wang, who was standing in the front, immediately shouted. Then, he reached out and handed the torch light to the petite girl who was staying close to him. A round shield instantly appeared in his left hand, and in the blink of an eye, he had become a sword and shield warrior.

“Little Li, stand behind and shine the light for us.”

“O… okay.”

The petite girl, Little Li, was clearly nervous. She took the torchlight and retreated, walking past Zhou Chen.

Not far behind Zhou Chen, the tall girl also quickly walked forward with the saber in her hand. As for the thin and tall young man, he did not move, as if he was coping with all motions by remaining motionless1.

Zhou Chen was the exact opposite. He was proactive, because he wanted to kill the monsters and plunder their passive skills, or see if his luck would allow him to obtain some rewards. He walked straight to the front to where the muscular youth was, and faced the monsters coming from behind, planning to cooperate with the latter.

But the tall girl followed closely behind him and stood on the other side of the muscular youth, making the three of them form a triangle.

“This is good too. The pressure is lower, but I have to be careful not to let the special monsters be snatched by them.”

Zhou Chen did not feel much pressure facing the dozen or so gray-skinned monsters charging at him, because the other party’s physique determined that they were not very strong individually, and they were even less of a threat when he had a few reliable teammates.

All of this happened in three to four seconds. After three to four seconds, the muscular young man was the first to fight the gray monkey.

He charged forward with his shield and knocked the two incoming gray-skinned monkeys flying. Then, the sword in his right hand drew a semicircle, and a gray-skinned monster was instantly beheaded.

However, the young man’s massacre did not make these gray monkey monsters retreat. Instead, it agitated their ferocity. The other gray monkey monsters quickly circled behind the young man, planning to jump onto his back.

At this moment, Zhou Chen had already caught up. He extended the iron rod in his hand and pierced through the neck of a gray-skinned monster that was planning to attack the back of the muscular young man, killing it on the spot.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have plundered the Crimson-Eyed Monkey’s passive skill, Low Low Light Vision I. Do you want to absorb it?]

“Absorb!”

Zhou Chen was in a good mood when he realized that he had obtained a passive skill in his very first kill. He immediately chose to absorb it.

Almost instantly, he felt his eyes light up. The dark area outside the light of the torch became much clearer. Although it was far from the level of daylight, it was enough to see many things.

In his clearer vision, Zhou Chen quickly pulled the iron rod from the monkey monster’s neck and pulled it to the side, causing the head of the attacking monkey monster to crack and die.

At this moment, a monkey monster pounced over from the other side. Zhou Chen had no time to attack, so he agilely retreated.

But, a blade light flashed and dealt with this monster for him.

“Thank you.”

Seeing that the young man had already killed the last monkey monster with his sword, Zhou Chen thanked the tall girl.

“No need, I just want to kill monsters and obtain equipment.”

The girl replied indifferently and slowly sheathed her saber. Beside her were four monkey corpses dripping with blood.

“This woman’s strength is not bad…”

Zhou Chen thought inwardly. The battle just now had actually only lasted for about three seconds. He had only killed two monsters, but this girl had killed four. Her efficiency was astonishing.

“Hur hur, is anyone injured?”

1

The strong young man with the sword and shield also turned around and walked over. He looked at them with a smile without any signs of panting, as if it had not taken much effort just now.

“No, Brother Wang and the two seniors were so brave just now. The monsters could not get past at all!”

Little Li, the petite girl holding the torchlight, hopped forward.

2

“Sorry, I’m short-sighted and can’t see clearly, so I didn’t go forward just now.”

1

The tall and thin young man put away the dagger and said apologetically.

“It’s okay. There’s no need for everyone to attack against such monsters.”

Brother Wang did not seem to mind. He smiled and looked at the petite girl.

“Little Li, we have to continue. You can show us the path with this torchlight. With us here, you don’t have to worry about any danger.”

“Alright!”

The petite girl accepted Brother Wang’s suggestion and quickly walked to the front with the torchlight.

Zhou Chen and the others followed behind her.

“Did anything drop? I killed the most monsters, but nothing dropped.”

As he walked, Brother Wang looked at Zhou Chen and the tall girl and asked if they had gained any rewards.

“I didn’t get anything either.”

Zhou Chen spoke the truth.

“Same.”

The tall girl shook her head.

“Hehe, looks like this system is still as stingy as before. I hope it can be more generous when we encounter monsters again.”

The few of them walked slowly in the cave and chatted. After passing several forks, the petite girl in the front warned.

“Brother Wang, there seem to be many little things flying over!”

The few of them immediately looked into the depths of the cave and realized that there were indeed many gray dots flying over. It was easy to ignore them if they were not careful.

“Can any of you deal with this?”

A serious expression quickly appeared on Brother Wang’s face. Such a huge number of small flying monsters were very difficult to deal with. He was not willing to face such an opponent.

“No, quickly retreat.”

The tall girl was the first to speak. Then, she turned and ran.

The others quickly followed because they realized that those things were about to close in. There were many of them, and they came with a ferocious momentum. If they were caught, the consequences would definitely be bad.

They ran back the way they came and soon arrived at a fork.

“Everyone, split up and run! Little Li and I will lead them away with the torchlight!”

When Brother Wang saw the fork, he suggested splitting up because the things behind were chasing closely. If he did not quickly shake them off, everyone would be in danger.

“Sure.”

Zhou Chen directly agreed. He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to leave them and go alone. Now was the appropriate time.
