<h4>Chapter 51: Windrun I</h4>


    Sensing the aura of a shadow monster not far from his feet, Zhou Chen directly stepped on it, wanting to hit the shadow monster that was hiding there and about to attack.


    However, the shadow monsterpletely ignored his feet that were wearing shortbat boots. Its blurry figure passed through his shoes and attacked his neck.


    This time, Zhou Chen did not directly use the round shield to defend. Instead, he dodged, making the shadow monster’s ws lean towards his chest. Immediately after, he stabbed the machete into the monster’s body the moment its attack reached him.


    Three cuts instantly appeared on Zhou Chen’s desert camouge suit, while the shadow monster passed through his machete and disappeared into the ground in the blink of an eye.


    “It failed… No, I was a littlete, I didn’t manage to grab hold of the moment it attacked.”


    Zhou Chen analyzed inwardly.


    He had long tried to use his weapon to receive its attack in his previous battle with this monster, but it was useless. This shadow monster would directly pass through his weapon and attack his body.


    He could only defend when this monster was about to attack him.


    Just now, he had tried to use his weapon to attack the shadow monster, but unfortunately, he was slightlyte in his attack and did not seed.


    Zhou Chen felt some paining from the three new wounds on his chest. He did not intend to give up. He nned to try this a few more times.


    In fact, he could also try to seize the moment when the shadow monster attacked the round shield, but it would be difficult to grasp that moment because it was easy to have a blind spot. His perception of the round shield was not as fast as his body. He had used the round shield several times before, but he had never seeded.


    “Maybe this monster is aplete illusionary body, but I won’t give up unless it is confirmed.”


    While thinking, he sensed that the shadow monster had appeared from the side. Zhou Chen was focused again and gave up on defending, wanting to counterattack the moment the monster attacked him.


    However, he still failed this time. He was a little fast in his attack, and it passed through the monster’s body. At the same time, three small wounds appeared on his body.


    This could not be med on hisck of agility. After all, this shadow monster was very fast. Its attack and retreat werepleted in the blink of an eye. If an ordinary person encountered it, they might not even be able to see where the attack came from.


    Zhou Chen did not give up despite the pain he felt. He continued to try to counterattack the moment the shadow monster attacked him.


    Just like that, after several more wounds appeared on his body, his luck came. He saw his machete stab into the shadow monster’s body when its ws swiped past his clothes.


    At this moment, Zhou Chen’s ears seemed to hear a soft sound of something shattering. The shadow monster, which was originallypletely immune to physical attacks, showed some resistance to the machete. Its body was pierced through by the scimitar and shattered like fireworks in the blink of an eye.


    [Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Shadow w Beast’s passive skill, “Agility Enhancement I”. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be reced.]


    [You have killed the Shadow w Beast. Reward: 1 Windrun I Skill Scroll (Low Bronze)]


    After Zhou Chen killed the shadow monster that had tortured him for almost the entire night, he heard two announcements from the system.


    First, the system notified him that he had obtained an increase in agility through the Passive Plunderer. This made him feel a little displeased because he wanted to obtain some special passive skill from this monster, such as the Illusory Body, instead of the ordinary Agility Enhancement.


    However, perhaps the monster’s ability to transform between reality and illusion was not a passive skill, so he could not plunder it.


    “Let’s see what this Windrun skill scroll is…”


    Zhou Chen looked at the scroll. This was the first time he had obtained a scroll from killing monsters. In the past, he could only obtain it at the end of the Survival mission.


    [Windrun I Skill Scroll


    Type: Low bronze scroll


    After using this scroll, you will obtain a low bronze active skill: Windrun I.


    Windrun I: Consumes your spirit energy, allowing your body to receive the blessing of the wind. Your running speed will be increased by 15%, and your body will be lighter. You can easily leap over roofs and run on walls.


    Note: With your current spirit attribute of 1.8 as the benchmark, I suggest you use Windrun I for at most ten minutes a day. Otherwise, it might injure your body.]


    “This is actually an active skill learning scroll, and the skill seems to be quite good.”


    Zhou Chen felt that he made a good gain. The injuries on his body were insignificant inparison to his gain.


    “That’s not right, this shadow monster clearly has nothing to do with wind, why did it drop this Windrun scroll? If only a physical attack immunity skill scroll had dropped, but the Chomper seed that the girl got earlier did not seem to have much to do with the tree demon.”


    Zhou Chen felt that the items dropped in this Survival mission were rather strange. In the past, only mineral water, weapons, and other items would drop when killing monsters, but this time, an active skill scroll had dropped. Maybe these were the special drops that the System had mentioned.


    He walked to the nearest tree and used the Windrun I skill scroll. Then, he opened his character interface to check.

    Comprehensive Evaluation: Low Bronze]


    “Agility increased by 0.1… Windrun!”


    After ncing at his attributes, Zhou Chen couldn’t suppress his curiosity and used the Windrun skill he had just obtained.


    The moment he used the Windrun skill, he felt his entire body being wrapped by some invisible airflow, making him feel very light and agile.


    Then, he tested the ability of this Windrun skill and ran straight into the depths of the forest.


    After running far away from the fire, he charged towards arge tree trunk in front of him and tested the so-called leap over roofs and run on walls ability of this Windrun skill. He tried to run vertically up the tree trunk.


    He realized that the ability was indeed awesome. In a breath, he ran to the top of a tree trunk that was more than ten meters tall. He even had a lot of energy left to continue running up.


    Because he did not want to provoke the tree demon, he quickly ran down.


    “This skill is very strong. With it, it’s equivalent to me knowing some lightness skills[1].”


    Zhou Chen, who had returned to the ground, was very satisfied with this new skill.
