Chapter 205: Bizarre Whip, Return
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With a plan in mind, Zhou Chen kicked the chair that was pouncing on him, sending it flying.
This kick had also luckily triggered the Freeze passive skill, causing the chair monster’s body to be covered in white frost before it even landed.
Zhou Chen immediately exerted strength in his feet and charged forward. He grabbed the chair that was temporarily frozen and pulled its leg to quickly charge forward.
He wanted to use the chair to attack the next monster.
In the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the room where they had heard the woman’s cry for help.
Then, he swung the chair and smashed the door.
However, the evil entity inside the room reacted faster than Zhou Chen had expected. Just as he broke through the door, he saw a large number of black hair flying out of the room and drowning him.
Zhou Chen tried to swing the chair against these strands of hair, trying to damage them.
However, the hair was even more difficult to deal with than what he had imagined. Before he could use the chair to attack them, he was completely surrounded by these hair strands and restrained.
“Looks like I should use the chair to land the final hit.”
Zhou Chen immediately realized that he had overestimated the offensive power of the chair as a weapon. He circulated his Eight Desolates True Energy and released it, instantly making the hair surrounding him scatter like a bomb had been detonated. Even the rooms outside were shaken to the point that exaggerated cracks appeared on them.
After breaking through the restraint, Zhou Chen threw the chair in his hand forward. Then, he quickly punched with his fists and smashed everything in front of him into pieces with his Eight Desolates True Energy.
Under his ferocious attacks, he quickly found the source of the hair in front of him. It was a horrifying woman’s head. Its eyes were completely black and its face was deathly pale. The woman’s cry for help they had heard earlier was most likely from it.
“I’ll cripple you first.”
Seeing the main body of the enemy, Zhou Chen immediately shot in front of the woman’s head and punched it.
After this attack, not only did this creepy head suffer explosive physical damage, but it also suffered the newly obtained spiritual damage of the Touch of Evil, as well as Corpse Poison, Freeze, and other effects.
In just an instant, it was heavily injured. It was severely deformed, and it was unable to move due to the white frost.
Zhou Chen did not continue to attack this monster. Instead, he turned around and grabbed the chair that was about to ambush him from behind, grabbing its leg and smashing it towards that head.
He swung the chair and attacked this woman’s head with the same violent strength as when he killed the blood human monster.
Under his endless attacks, the woman’s head was smashed to death before it could recover from the freezing effect.
[You have killed the Sinister Head. Reward: Bizarre Whip.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the Sinister Head’s passive skill, “Lethal Hair IV”. Do you want to absorb it?]
After hearing the system’s announcement, Zhou Chen did not immediately choose to absorb the passive skill. He first threw the chair in his hand to the ground and dealt a violent blow to it. After confirming that its broken body was no longer a threat, he opened the system to check.
[Bizarre Whip
Type: Low Silver weapon
This is a weapon and also a bizarre item. It has powerful effects, but they come with a price.
Extend and Shorten: This bizarre whip can instantly extend and shorten as you wish. It can extend for a maximum of a hundred meters.
Lash: When you use it to attack, it deals low silver-ranked physical and spirit damage to the target.
Bind: You can use it to instantly restrain a target in the range. It is effective on both the physical and spiritual entities. If the target is too strong, the binding might be broken.
Price of Use: When you use this bizarre whip, your life force will continue to decrease. Overuse will affect your health and lifespan.]
[Lethal Hair IV
Type: Low Silver passive skill
The volume, speed of growth, and the upper limit of your hair length are increased by ten times. Every strand of your hair is as tough as steel. Moreover, you can control every strand of your hair like you control your limbs.]
“This bizarre whip looks quite useful. It can restrain as well as attack, but there is a price to use it. This Lethal Hair passive skill is a little strange. I can only say that it’s good news in case of baldness, or rather for hair loss.”
After some hesitation, Zhou Chen chose to absorb the Lethal Hair passive skill. After completing the absorption, he deactivated it. After all, he was not prepared to become a hairy freak.
Then, Zhou Chen took out the bizarre whip from his inventory and used it to whip the chair that had yet to recover.
With this lash, a deep crack appeared on the chair, showing how extraordinary the offensive power of the whip was.
Then, Zhou Chen whipped it a few more times, shattering the chair into pieces.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the Chair Deviant’s passive skill, “Physique Enhancement IV”. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
As the system reported in his mind, Zhou Chen knew that the chair deviant was dead.
“There was no drop. Looks like the drop rate really depends on luck. However, this proves that the bizarre items can cause fatal damage to these evil entities.”
While he was thinking, Zhou Chen put the black whip back in his inventory because he felt a slight pain in his body. Although it did not have any substantial effect, it also meant that using this bizarre whip indeed consumed life force.
“Actually, this chair deviant’s corpse should be able to be made into a weapon to fight the evil entities, but forget it, I’ll just use the whip.”
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and did not deal with the two corpses on the ground. He walked out of the room and continued searching the floor.
He planned to sweep clean the evil entities here and see if he could gain anything else.
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen left the last room with a slightly disappointed expression. After a careful search, he realized that there were no more monsters here. He had to find another place.
However, his search was not completely fruitless. He found a bizarre item marked by the system in a room.
[Bizarre Pen
Type: Low Silver Item
Use this pen to write down a person’s name. You and the person will be targeted by evil spirits and constantly attacked for three days.]
“The side effects of this thing are quite strong. Ordinary people would probably not be able to use it.”
This seemingly ordinary ballpoint pen had too great a side effect. But Zhou Chen felt that he could use it to lure and kill evil spirits.
“It’s time to go to the next floor. Those people seem to be in a bad state. They might have encountered evil entities.”
Even though He Jin and the others were no longer on this level, Zhou Chen could still sense them with Bloodthirst and determine their general situation.
From the feedback of the Bloodthirst passive skill, he knew that two of the three were in critical condition, and the remaining one also was not in a good state.
Zhou Chen quickly climbed the staircase and arrived at the third floor. He headed in the direction he had sensed.
Soon, he saw He Jin and the rest in a spacious room.
At this moment, He Jin was holding a thin wooden stick in one hand and a flashlight in the other, facing a creepy humanoid figure in front of him.
The creepy humanoid was thin and tall, blocking the door like a long-legged spider. Apart from He Jin opposite it, there was also Zhang Xiuxiu and Yi Fu who were on the ground with blood flowing out of their bodies.
Zhou Chen could sense that He Jin was also quite injured. He would not be able to endure for long.
“They are all ordinary people. How are they still alive when facing an evil entity? Is this evil entity going easy on them, or is there another reason?”
In Zhou Chen’s opinion, it was already unbelievable that the three of them could persist until now against the evil entity because the difference in strength was too great. It was like a little white rabbit fighting against a Tyrant Dragon.
“That rod is a bizarre item?” He quietly approached the room and took a few glances. He realized that the stick in the bespectacled young man’s hand had a system label.
[Bizarre Rod
Type: Low Silver weapon
This rod has high offensive power. It can cause mid silver-ranked physical damage, but it will constantly absorb the user’s flesh and blood when using it.]
“I see. That evil entity is wary of the rod, so it did not kill them instantly.”
Just as Zhou Chen was thinking, the evil entity blocking the door moved. Its figure suddenly flashed and arrived behind He Jin. Then, it extended its sharp claws and grabbed at his neck!
“Such crushing speed… Looks like it was playing with them earlier. Now that it knows I’m here, it wants to finish them off first?”
Zhou Chen, who was outside the room, immediately thought of this. Then, at this critical moment, a black whip suddenly appeared in his hand. This whip wrapped around the evil entity at an unbelievable speed and tied it up. Then, it was pulled back to his side.
Zhou Chen beat up the monster that was tied up, quickly shattering its body and finally killing it with a few whip lashes.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the Spindly Claw’s passive skill, “Agility Enhancement IV”. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
After quickly finishing off the evil entity, Zhou Chen approached He Jin who was still holding the rod and saw some shock in his eyes.
“Are you a human or a ghost?” He Jin asked nervously as he aimed the stick at Zhou Chen.
“If I were a ghost, you would already be dead.” Zhou Chen smiled at him. “Hurry up and put down the stick in your hand. Your body has reached its limit.”
He Jin immediately squatted down as if he had lost all his strength. The bizarre rod in his hand rolled to the side, revealing his palm that was already mangled.
“Can you save the two of them? They were hit by that monster just now and are in critical condition.” Although he himself was in a bad state, He Jin still thought of the others.
“I can’t save them.” Zhou Chen immediately said. He really did not have the ability to save people.
“You should think about how to leave this place. I’m afraid your body can’t hold on for much longer.” Zhou Chen reminded him.
“I can still hold on. As long as we obtain another bizarre item and add this whip in your hand, we can return. When we return, our bodies can quickly recover.” He Jin was staring at Zhou Chen pleadingly.
“Please help me find a bizarre item.”
“Alright, I’ll go look for it. Stay here and watch over them.” Zhou Chen quickly left the room and began to search the floor.
Before leaving, he quietly took out the bizarre pen he had obtained earlier and picked up the rod from the ground to take a look. Like this, they had a total of three bizarre items, but he did not notice any sign of mission completion.
“Is my bizarre whip not counted because it was given by the system?” Zhou Chen guessed.
Then, he began to search for bizarre items efficiently. He first swept through the third level and found a weak chicken monster. He did not obtain anything from killing it.
After gaining nothing from this floor, Zhou Chen continued to advance to the higher floors.
He did not find any bizarre items on the fourth floor, but he encountered an evil spirit-like white specter. He restrained it with the bizarre whip and attacked it up close to trigger the Touch of Evil, causing high spiritual damage to it. Then, he whipped it to death.
The system then announced that he had gained an advanced Spirit Enhancement passive skill and obtained an increase in Spirit stat.
After a while, Zhou Chen finally found a bizarre item on the fifth floor. It was a cup-like item. Any liquid poured in it would become abnormal and harm anyone around it.
After finding the bizarre cup, Zhou Chen brought it back to the third floor.
At this moment, He Jin had already fallen to the ground like the other two girls. Zhou Chen sensed that he was unconscious through his Bloodthirst perception, while the two girls had already bled to death.
When Zhou Chen picked up the rod from the ground, he entered a momentary daze as he was teleported to the apartment hall.
He Jin appeared beside him. He quickly got up from the ground and looked around before asking,
“Where are Yi Fu and Zhang Xiuxiu? And Uncle Hong? Are they all gone?”
Zhou Chen was surprised at the healing effect of the apartment. He Jin’s health was instantly restored.
He said to him in a regretful tone, “Sorry, it wasn’t easy to find the third bizarre item. When I returned with it, only you were still alive.”
He Jin clearly felt upset when he heard Zhou Chen’s words, but he still thanked him. “Thank you for saving me. Perhaps for Yi Fu and the others, leaving this world is a good thing..”
