Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills - Chapter 42

[042 tree]

In the silent forest where the light was dim and the air was chilly, Zhou Chen and the girl with a single ponytail moved forward unhurriedly. Every time they walked, they would mark the tree trunk with their weapons.

The road conditions in this strange forest were a little better than they expected. Most of the ground was relatively flat, there were not many weeds and shrubs on the ground, and the distance between trees was relatively large, so that they could not walk too hard.

“This place is so strange, I can’t hear any bird calls…”

After walking for a while, the single ponytail girl with a long-handled knife looked around with her bright eyes and muttered.

“Maybe they are all hiding, or they have migrated away.”

At this time, Zhou Chen used the machete in his hand to make a mark on a large tree passing by and responded.

“It’s also possible that the system didn’t set up small animals in this place at all. With its personality, it should prefer to put monsters in.”

The single ponytail girl thought for a while and said to Zhou Chen.

“Hehe, whatever, I want to quickly meet some monsters and see what special drops are there.”

Zhou Chen remembered that the system prompt for survival said that there were special drops from killing monsters, and he was a little curious about it.

“Me too… but it doesn’t look like there are some monsters hiding around here.”

While speaking, the bright eyes of the single ponytail girl are also paying close attention to the surrounding situation.

The two walked like this for about half an hour, and they found that the scene around them had not changed much. There were tall trees all around, no rivers, and no high slopes or valleys.

“I’ll take a look at the top of the tree.”

At this time, Zhou Chen felt that he couldn’t go blind like this anymore, and he planned to climb to the top of the tree to take a look at the surrounding situation.

“The top of the tree? The leaves on this are tall and dense, and it is not easy to climb up.”

The girl felt that his idea was a little difficult to put into practice.

“It’s not easy to have to try, while the physical strength is still sufficient.”

Zhou Chen knew that if he struggled to climb up, he might not gain anything, but he still wanted to give it a try.

Soon, Zhou Chen used both hands and feet together, relying on his powerful strength, and quickly jumped up from the bottom of the trunk of a big tree.

The trees in this forest have no branches for more than ten meters from the bottom of the trunk, and the trunk is basically thicker than a person, so the initial climbing is more difficult.

With some effort, Zhou Chen climbed to the place where there was a branch in the middle of the trunk. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a thick branch, ready to use his strength to climb up.

However, at this time, he found that the branch he was pulling suddenly came to life, and the front end of the branch bent, like a human hand, and wrapped around his arm.

Zhou Chen immediately clamped the tree trunk with his legs, and a machete appeared in his other hand, cutting the branch directly from the root.

However, his attack did not completely solve the problem. Instead, it caused the other branches on the trunk to move one after another, bending down one by one and lashing at him.

Zhou Chen couldn’t deal with the attack of so many branches, and in desperation, his legs loosened and quickly slipped down from the trunk.

When he reached the bottom, the tree’s branches still did not let him go, its long branches bent close to the ground and continued to attack him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen had to quickly leave the attack range of this tree.

“So these trees are monsters!”

The single ponytail girl appeared from behind a big tree beside him at this time, surprised.

“Maybe not exactly…it didn’t attack me when I didn’t climb up.”

Zhou Chen felt that this kind of tree was not necessarily their opponent. If they were, then the situation would be really bad.

“Strange… just now I marked these tree trunks and they didn’t move…”

The girl was also puzzled at this time.

“Probably because their trunks are insensitive, and we’d be better off scratching them than we’ve marked on them.”

Zhou Chen guessed.

“Maybe……”

The girl raised her head to look at the tree just now,

“Should we try to chop it up? Let’s see what we can get?”

She lifted the long-handled knife in her hand.

“forget it,”

Zhou Chen shook his head after hearing this,

“If it’s a single tree, it’s fine, but it’s surrounded by the same kind. When I attacked it just now, I found that the two trees around it also moved. If we continue to attack it, we may be beaten by a group.”

Zhou Chen just observed at the end that this kind of tree seems to be able to drive the surrounding trees to attack together, so he does not want to challenge this kind of tree monster in the current environment.

“Then let’s evacuate quickly. I feel that if we stay in this kind of forest for a long time, there will be problems.”

The single ponytail girl heard Zhou Chen’s words and realized that she couldn’t mess around.

“The problem will definitely arise sooner or later… I hope to find an area without trees…”

Zhou Chen felt the pressure after finding that the trees in the forest looked like monsters, and subconsciously, he wanted to leave here.

But he also thought that the name of this survival was Silent Forest. Can they really find an area without trees?

The two then walked forward in the forest for about half an hour, and it was time for their return journey to gather.

“There are only trees in this direction, and nothing of value has been found. Let’s go back and see how others are doing.”

Zhou Chen felt that he might not gain much if he continued on, and wanted to see if other survivors had any good discoveries.

“If only I could use the friend function here…”

The single ponytail girl hates the practice of going back the same way, but there is no way, they found out before that the friend function of the system cannot be used here, otherwise it will be much more convenient for them to communicate than now.

Turning around, following the markings made earlier, they began to return the way they came.

After walking like this for about a quarter of an hour, they found a somewhat serious problem: the marks they left on the tree trunks were broken, and the indistinct footprints on the ground disappeared.

“What’s the matter? The markers I made have completely disappeared around here!”

Carrying her long-handled knife, the girl looked around on the trunks of dozens of big trees, but she couldn’t find any traces she left here dozens of minutes ago.

“The mark I left is also suddenly broken here… The front is all intact…”

Zhou Chen stepped on the ground nearby that didn’t seem to have changed much, guessing the reason,

“It may be that these tree monsters have moved their positions… Let’s continue to look for…”

He then proceeded in the current direction, hoping that the markings on the trunk were only partially broken.

After walking for a while with the girl, he did not find the mark he left, but the girl saw the mark left by him again on a tree dozens of meters away from the side.

“My mark is over there… are we going the wrong way?”

She is a little unsure.

“It doesn’t matter… The current situation is difficult for us to reconcile with others… Let’s continue our own exploration…”

Zhou Chen realized that the current situation and other survivors can only rely on luck, so he immediately gave up this idea.
