Chapter 68 - Title
Chapter 68: Title
Zhou Chen and the long-haired girl observed the charred remains on the ground for a while and left after confirming that it was completely gone.
Half an hour later, they passed the cave and arrived outside an underground palace-like building.
The door of this palace-like building was open. Through the Bloodthirst passive skill, Zhou Chen could sense a few monsters near the door.
After entering the palace and killing the few weak monsters, he found a tightly closed bronze door.
This bronze door looked very heavy. The keyhole on the door told the person that they needed the corresponding key to enter.
Zhou Chen immediately took out the key he had obtained from the trap room and tried to open the door, but he quickly realized that it did not match.
“It doesn’t match again?”
He felt a little depressed as he left the place to search for the key.
Ten minutes later, he did not find any traces of the door key, but he found a closed bronze door. This bronze door was opened with the key in his hand.
Opening the bronze door, he could see a marble path inside. At the end of the path was another door: a door made of green light.
“Are you asking me to go in?”
Zhou Chen looked at the scene inside the bronze door and stepped on the marble slab to walk to the green door of light.
After approaching the door of light, he first probed with his spear and found no resistance. The bottom of the door of light seemed to be the ground as well. Then, he touched the door of light with his hand and realized that it was the same as touching the air. He stepped in.
After entering the green door of light, Zhou Chen saw a spacious room that was at least 500 square meters. In the depths of the room, a thin and tall figure in a cloak was standing against the wall. Behind the thin and tall figure was another green door of light.
“This thing doesn’t have any blood in its body… It’s a monster.”
Realizing that a new monster had appeared in front of him, Zhou Chen charged over with his spear.
The thin and tall cloaked figure immediately reacted when it saw Zhou Chen charge over. Its legs moved, and it disappeared from the spot, approaching Zhou Chen.
“So fast!”
Zhou Chen was surprised. This was the first time he had encountered a monster that was so fast. An ax immediately appeared in his left hand to block the dagger in the dry palm of the cloaked monster.
The cloaked monster saw his action and immediately circled around, trying to stab Zhou Chen’s back.
Zhou Chen quickly did a back thrust with his spear and forced it back. Then, he used the Windrun skill.
This cloaked monster gave him a lot of pressure. If he did not use Windrun, it would be difficult for him to follow its attack rhythm.
As soon as he used the Windrun skill, Zhou Chen’s entire body was immediately wrapped by an invisible and colorless airflow. His speed was increased by 30%, and he could even do all kinds of aerial actions.
After using the Windrun, he caught up to the cloaked monster in terms of speed. Just like the tricky dagger attacks of the other party, he could also rely on the additional speed and short hover ability of the Windrun skill to make unpredictable counterattacks, such as forcefully pulling distance and making continuous fast strikes with the spear.
After the cloak monster’s advantage in speed was reduced, it was quickly suppressed by Zhou Chen. At a certain moment, Zhou Chen used his floating ability to trick it into showing a flaw and stabbed its head with the spear, causing a serious injury and knocking it down.
Two seconds after the cloaked monster fell to the ground, it turned into dust and disappeared, preventing Zhou Chen from seeing its true appearance.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Skeleton Assassin’s passive skill, “Agility Enhancement I”. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Skeleton Assassin’s passive skill “Dagger Arts I”. Do you want to absorb it?]
“Absorb!”
Zhou Chen chose to absorb it without hesitation. As the saying goes, having more skills does not burden you. There was no problem with having more of these skills.
[Detected that you have killed the Skeleton Assassin. You have obtained the title ‘Assassin’.]
To Zhou Chen’s surprise, he heard a new announcement from the system telling him that he had obtained a title.
“Title?”
Zhou Chen was puzzled. He immediately opened his character interface to check.

He realized that there was now a title segment on his interface. When he focused on this title, the system gave a description:
[Assassin
Type: Low Bronze Title
When you equip this title, your melee damage is increased by 12%, your movement speed and attack speed are increased by 8%.]
“So this is the title. It can provide enhancements, not bad.”
Zhou Chen felt that this was not a loss. His effort in clearing the trap room on the first floor was not in vain. This thing that could provide a percentage increase was much more precious than ordinary equipment.
While Zhou Chen was inspecting his gains, he felt someone walk in from the door behind him. It was the long-haired girl.
The long-haired girl seemed to have been blocked by the green door of light when he was fighting. After the monster inside was killed by him, the door of light turned invisible and she could enter.
“This seems to be the stairs to the next floor.”
The girl’s eyes lit up when she saw something.
Zhou Chen turned around and saw that the door of light on the wall in the depths of the room had also disappeared, revealing stairs leading down.
“The second floor is over so quickly?”
Zhou Chen immediately ran over with her to take a look and found that the stairs indeed looked like they led to the third floor.
“I’m not done exploring the second floor. I don’t want to go down now.”
Zhou Chen was a little conflicted. He wanted to sweep through the second floor before going to the third.
However, the long-haired girl did not care what he thought. She walked straight into the stairs. With her character, she probably wanted to quickly complete the Survival mission.
“The things on the third floor should be better. I should go down.”
Zhou Chen, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately stopped feeling conflicted because he did not want this girl to get the items on the third floor, even if she did not look like someone who liked to fight monsters.
