Chapter 49 – Kill

“Survive this dungeon together?”
The underwear man’s ferocious expression immediately carried a trace of ridicule.
“So many of you watched me freeze naked in the forest for an entire day without anyone lending me any clothes! You have the cheek to say that we need to work together! Don’t pretend to be a moral expert there! I’m warning you! If you dare to interfere, I’ll kill you too!”
The underwear man glared at Zhou Chen and warned him. Then, he turned around and chopped at the neck of the young man in the green military uniform.
However, in the next second, he gave up on attacking. He jumped back and held the ax in front of him.
Because Zhou Chen had already stood up and stabbed with the spear.
“Idiot! It’s not like I won’t share the benefits from killing the two of them!”
The underwear man’s expression immediately turned a little ugly when he saw that Zhou Chen’s weapon was a spear that was very long. He said angrily to Zhou Chen, puzzled.
However, Zhou Chen did not reply. He had already entered a battle state. The spear tip was aimed at the underwear man as he walked around the fire and approached him.
“What a f*cking bad luck, I encountered a goddamn idiot!”
When the underwear man saw Zhou Chen’s expression, he seemed to be unwilling to fight. He moved back and turned around to run into the forest.
Zhou Chen did not hesitate and quickened his pace to chase after him.
The underwear man ran very quickly. He ran nearly a hundred meters in a few seconds, but Zhou Chen was also very fast. The man could not pull much distance.
Suddenly, the underwear man moved behind a tree on the side. When Zhou Chen arrived, he suddenly appeared from the other side of the tree and swung the ax at Zhou Chen’s head.
Zhou Chen’s reaction was very fast. He lowered his body and tilted slightly, allowing the ax to fly past his head.
Seeing that his ax had failed, the underwear man’s expression remained calm. A sword appeared in his hand, and he charged at Zhou Chen, who had just dodged the ax.
Zhou Chen was still calm. He quickly jumped back and turned the spear in his hand to stab at the underwear man’s thigh.
Because Zhou Chen’s weapon had an obvious attack range advantage, the underwear man could not fight head-on. He could only jump and dodge. At the same time, he used his sword to slash the spear, wanting to hack the spear shaft into pieces.
However, how could Zhou Chen let him do as he wished? He retracted the spear immediately, making the underwear man’s sword slash empty air. Then, he stabbed again, attacking the underwear man’s neck.
The underwear man’s reaction speed was also extraordinary. In that critical moment, he bent down and tilted his head to dodge. He used his sword to defend and retreated behind a tree.
However, Zhou Chen’s spear was even faster. Just as the underwear man was about to reach the tree, his spear had already pierced through one of the underwear man’s legs in the blink of an eye, making him cry out and fall to the ground.
“Ah! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I didn’t kill anyone!”
The underwear man seemed to be tearing up from the pain. He was lying on the ground, shouting in horror as he retreated. He looked like he was about to break down.
However, Zhou Chen did not reply. The spear in his hand instantly pierced through the neck of the panic-stricken underwear man, and the ground was quickly stained with large amounts of blood.
A few seconds later, Zhou Chen heard the system’s announcement.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the human’s passive skill “Physique Enhancement I”. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
In an instant, Zhou Chen felt his body heat up and he felt stronger.
“This person also has passive skills. Open the interface.”
He immediately used his consciousness to open the system’s character interface.

“My physique has increased by 0.1. This person’s Physique Enhancement passive skill seems to increase the physique by an additional 0.5. The reason why he can have this passive skill might be related to his talent.”
Zhou Chen had long since seen that the underwear man’s physique was far stronger than ordinary people. He was not very surprised, but he was a little regretful that he could no longer know the exact effect of his talent.
He bent down and poked around in the weeds with the spear. Soon, he found a small glass bottle that was half-filled with red liquid.
“His healing potion actually dropped. My luck is not bad.”
This small bottle was a healing potion. Although half of it had been used, it was still very valuable.
Then, Zhou Chen picked up the underwear man’s sword and the ax not far away and stored the two ownerless weapons in his inventory.
Finally, he looked at the corpse of the underwear man on the ground. After some thought, he dragged him by the legs deep into the forest.
After removing the blood on the ground, Zhou Chen returned to the fire.
The fire was still burning. The ponytail girl was sleeping soundly on the ground, and the young man in the green military uniform was still leaning against the tree and snoring.
Zhou Chen pulled out two sticks from the gathered firewood in the side and threw them into the fire. Then, he returned to his earlier position and leaned against the tree.
“It’s getting dark, I wonder if they can wake up in time.”
Zhou Chen was very sure that the two people sleeping beside the fire had been poisoned by some kind of sleeping poison. It should have been caused by eating that fruit. Otherwise, they would have already woken up long ago.
“Fortunately, I didn’t eat those fruits.”
Zhou Chen suddenly realized something when he thought of the underwear man’s sudden change. In fact, when the underwear man suggested being the guard to let the others sleep without worry, he did not particularly doubt him. He had treated him as a companion who could be trusted slightly. Unexpectedly, the man had been harboring evil thoughts.
In fact, from a benefit perspective, Zhou Chen could choose to cooperate with the underwear man and kill the other two on the ground to divide their things. However, on one hand, he had lost trust in this underwear man. On the other hand, he felt that he had not fallen to that degree, so he did not agree.
Zhou Chen had never thought of himself as a good person, but he was also unwilling to be evil. His bottom line was never that low.
Chasing the underwear man earlier could be considered a reflection of his bad side. A good person would definitely let the underwear man go and let him leave, achieving a good ending for everyone. However, Zhou Chen’s heart was not that good. He felt that there would be hidden dangers if the underwear man continued to live, and killing the underwear man would yield benefits, so he decisively took action..
