Chapter 60: Stone Warrior

“I can’t enter this place.”

Zhou Chen immediately determined that this room was very dangerous and chose to give up.

He left the room and continued along the passage. After walking for a while, he found a locked room.

The door of this room was made of steel. Although it did not look as thick as the one that led to the second floor, it seemed to be very sturdy.

Zhou Chen took out the ax and tried to break the lock. He realized that it was not so easy and gave up.

He even took out the key he had obtained from the bear monster and tried it, but the size did not match.

“Since there’s a lock, there should be a key somewhere.”

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

After leaving the room, he continued along the passage and arrived at a T-junction after a while. Not far to the left was a rope bridge, and to the right was a hall.

Zhou Chen first looked at the bridge and found that it was dark and empty below the bridge. From the perspective of his Dark Vision, the bridge was about 30 meters away from the rocks at the bottom. It was a stone valley that was not too deep.

There was a huge stone pillar connected to the other end of the bridge. The steps on the stone pillar led to a wide platform. From the stone platform, the sound of weapons colliding could be heard.

Zhou Chen was interested when he heard the sounds. He quickly passed the bridge and arrived at the stone pillar, then walked up the steps to the stone platform.

As soon as he arrived, he saw two women fighting a stone-armored warrior with a blade and a sword.

Although the warrior was clearly covered in stones, it was as agile as a real person. It waved the long-handle saber in its hand vigorously. The two women could not win even when they combined forces. Instead, they were suppressed.

On a stone block behind the warrior was a wooden box. That should be the goal of the two women. They had tried to approach the box several times but were beaten back by the stone warrior.

“This box has a monster guarding it, so it should most likely be real.”

Zhou Chen thought to himself. Then, he charged over with the spear and went straight for the wooden box.

At this moment, the stone warrior was attacking the two female Survivors. When it saw Zhou Chen charge towards the box it was guarding, it immediately waved its saber and turned around to face Zhou Chen. It did not even care that some of its stone had been chipped off by the blade and the sword of the two female Survivors.

Zhou Chen did not retreat when he saw this stone warrior block him. He pressed the spear in his hand down and stabbed at the stone monster’s leg.

He did not know the stone monster’s weakness, so he decided to knock it down and take the box first.

However, Zhou Chen’s attack did not succeed. The stone warrior waved its saber down, changing the direction of the spear.

“This stone warrior is quite powerful. It will take some effort to defeat it.”

Zhou Chen determined the other party’s approximate strength from this exchange. It should be the type that was tanky and had damage.

While Zhou Chen was fighting this stone warrior, the two women were not idle. They did not help Zhou Chen attack this monster but ran to the stone block, wanting to take the things in the box first.

Their intentions instantly infuriated the stone warrior who was fighting Zhou Chen. It immediately gave up on fighting Zhou Chen and turned to charge at the two women.

Zhou Chen did not immediately attack from behind because he also did not want the two to obtain the treasure chest.

The stone warrior was very fast, or rather, it was not far from the box. When the woman in front had just touched the wooden box, the stone warrior’s long saber slashed at her arm.

Helpless, the woman could only retreat and let the stone warrior defend the treasure chest again.

“We found this box first! Don’t even think of snatching it from us!”

After the situation reached a stalemate again, the blade user shouted toward Zhou Chen.

“Hehe.”

Zhou Chen smiled slightly. That box was still ownerless. It was only natural for him to fight for it.

“This monster’s body is too hard. My sword is useless against it. Let’s try our luck somewhere else!”

The other female Survivor looked at the stone warrior standing in front of the treasure chest. She seemed to have thoughts of retreating as she said to her companion.

“No! If we leave, this treasure chest will go to him!”

The blade-using woman immediately shook her head angrily.

“No, he can’t defeat this stone monster alone. It will only waste time and strength.”

The woman with the sword replied immediately.

Zhou Chen ignored their conversation and charged towards the stone warrior. He planned to see if he could kill this stone monster.

When the stone warrior saw that Zhou Chen attacked, it immediately moved forward to fight. Its saber intersected with Zhou Chen’s spear.

While Zhou Chen was fighting, the two female Survivors behind him also ended the conversation. They seemed to have reached an agreement and left the stone platform to go down the bridge.

There were no others behind him, so Zhou Chen could focus more on fighting the stone warrior. He used more than 90% of his strength to try to knock the stone warrior down.

The stone warrior had a heavy body and great strength. Its movements were not slow either. It was similar to the bear monster from before, but there was a weakness in the bear monster’s body, while this stone warrior did not seem to have any. Even if there was, it would be difficult for him to quickly destroy it with his weapon.

This battle took more than three minutes. In the end, Zhou Chen grabbed an opportunity and swept his spear ruthlessly against the stone warrior’s knee, making it lose its balance and fall to the ground.

Before it could stand up, Zhou Chen quickly rushed to the treasure chest and opened it to take out the item inside: a golden scroll.

Without even looking at its details, Zhou Chen directly threw it into his inventory and quickly ran outside the stone platform because the stone warrior was about to stand up. He did not want to waste time on it.

When Zhou Chen ran to the edge of the stone platform, he sensed that the stone warrior was already chasing after him, looking like it wanted to fight him to the end.

“This thing is really conscientious.”

Zhou Chen was a little speechless. He wondered what kind of treasure that golden scroll was to make the system arrange for such a troublesome guard.

He ran down the stone steps and arrived before the rope bridge.

Just as he arrived before the bridge, he saw the two female Survivors standing opposite the bridge. The one with the blade shouted to him, “Hurry up and throw the thing in the treasure chest over! Otherwise, we will cut this bridge!”

“Hehe.”

Zhou Chen ignored their threat and ran on the bridge.
