‘Rebound! Activate!’
As soon as he approached the guard captain who was emitting lightning sparks, Zhou Chen activated the Rebound passive skill because he was going to fight this powerful guy in close combat.
This person had just thrown out his weapon, spear, and was in an unarmed state. Zhou Chen also did not take out his spear, and fought purely with punches and kicks.
The guard captain was surprised when he saw the masked man who appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. He did not expect that there would be such a powerful person among this group of mobs.
However, such a person actually approached him to fight in close combat, making him look down on him because such an action was clearly unwise. Even a fool knew that they would be electrocuted if they approached him in his current state, but this kid asked for it.
“Die!”
He raised his fist, which was flashing with lightning, and punched at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was not afraid of this guard captain’s attack. The reason why he dared to approach was because he believed that he could endure the lightning on the latter’s body.
He had tested this during the spear attack just now. The lightning that erupted from the spear after it stabbed the ground had no effect on him.
Boom!
Their fists collided.
Zhou Chen’s fist looked ordinary. It was just a meat fist without any special effects or equipment.
The guard captain’s fist looked much stronger. Not only was he wearing metal gloves, but there was also lightning coiled around it.
However, the outcome of the collision of their fists surprised everyone. The guard captain spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, while Zhou Chen stood firmly on the spot, and for some reason, the guard captain’s blood did not even splatter on his body.
‘The Rebound skill is really sick. Even I suffered from it before.’
Looking at the guard captain who spewed blood and fell to the ground, Zhou Chen did not think that the other party was weak. In fact, judging from the collision of the fists, if he did not use the Rebound skill, this guard captain would only be knocked back two steps and not be in such a sorry state.
The reason why he seemed to be unable to withstand a single blow and was beaten to the ground with blood spewing from his mouth was mainly because his melee attack had triggered the Rebound passive skill, causing his body to suffer a mid bronze-ranked tremor.
Even Zhou Chen, who had an astonishing physique, would vomit blood after suffering such damage, let alone the captain whose physique was weaker than Zhou Chen’s.
Before the guard captain could get up, Zhou Chen stepped on his chest.
He used a lot of strength in this kick, the bones shattering could be heard even from afar. The captain’s eyes protruded and he died on the spot.
“Too weak, I thought he would last a while.”
After confirming the death of the guard captain with the Bloodthirst passive skill, Zhou Chen thought with waning interest. He had originally thought that it would take quite a while to defeat this man who controlled lightning, but who knew that it would almost be an instant kill.
“Hmm, her blood seems to have stopped flowing too.”
At this moment, Zhou Chen suddenly sensed the situation of the tall girl lying on the ground dozens of meters away. She had already lost her life force.
After stepping over the corpses of the rioters, he returned to the tall girl’s corpse. At this moment, the refined youth had already sat up and was holding his forehead, as if he had a headache.
“Let’s quickly go to the apothecary. It’s not safe here.”
Zhou Chen said to the refined young man as he bent down and stored the book beside the tall girl in his inventory.
This was the Silver Knight inheritance book she had obtained from the refined young man. It had dropped after her death.
“Okay, let’s help her over.”
When the refined young man saw Zhou Chen, he used all his strength to stand up with some difficulty, preparing to bring his unconscious companion along.
“No need, she’s already dead. Look at her skin color.”
Zhou Chen shook his head and pointed at the tall girl’s palm.
Her palm had turned pale. Anyone could tell that this paleness was not something a living person would have.
The refined young man looked at the tall girl’s corpse. There was a short silence before he sighed softly.
“It’s like this again… I have yet to experience a Survival mission with no deaths.”
“You’re already mid bronze, are you still not used to it?”
Zhou Chen replied calmly.
“We should worry about ourselves. We might not even survive, how can we care about others?”
Although he said that, Zhou Chen actually felt a little regretful about the tall girl’s death.
In his opinion, this girl was strong and cautious. Her desire to improve herself was also strong. Otherwise, she would not have thought of going to the Holy Mountain and risk her life to obtain the inheritance.
Unfortunately, her luck was bad. She died from a sudden area-of-effect attack while in an injured state. She might have never expected to die like a cannon fodder.
Five minutes later, Zhou Chen and the refined young man, who still had some difficulty walking, arrived at the entrance of the apothecary.
Originally, it would not have taken them so long to walk over, but two monsters ran over and it took some effort to eliminate them.
The moment he entered the apothecary, Zhou Chen smelled an indescribable smell. It seemed to be the smell of various herbs mixed together.
The shelves in the store looked empty. There were only two or three bottles of potion, but they were not marked by the system.
The old witch came out after hearing Zhou Chen’s shout.
“Young man, did you come to buy healing potions? Sorry, they’re all sold out. The next batch will only be available tomorrow afternoon.”
The old witch said to Zhou Chen as soon as she came out.
“Do you have other potions in your shop?”
Zhou Chen had already expected this and asked.
“Most of them are gone, only the Vigor Potion is still in stock.”
The old witch smiled.
“Forget it then…”
Zhou Chen was instantly speechless. The Vigor Potion was a potion to strengthen a man’s endurance in bed. It had no value to him.
“I didn’t expect to leave empty handed…”
After obtaining nothing, Zhou Chen and the young man left the shop.
They then left the area and began to search for a suitable hiding place.
Zhou Chen did not plan to take the initiative to hunt more monsters because he had already exhausted a lot of his energy. If he continued to act recklessly, there might be some accidents. It was best to save his energy.
‘It’s almost night time. After tonight, this Survival mission will be over.’
Zhou Chen thought to himself as he looked at the sky..
