infinite survival i can plunder passive skills

After complaining to the system in his heart, Zhou Chen continued forward. After all, no matter how much he complained, the system would not respond. Its behavior was no different from a cold program.
After leaving the place where the rat monsters were lying, it was not long before he entered a narrow passage. In this passage, he quickly encountered new monsters.
They looked like snakes. They were not very large, only about a meter long and about the thickness of a thumb. There were obvious ring patterns on their bodies. After walking for a while in the narrow passage, Zhou Chen realized that more than ten of these monsters were ahead of him.
“There are too many of them. Retreat..”
If there were only one or two such snake monsters, he would most likely try to hunt them. However, it would be very difficult for him to deal with more than ten of them, and there was a risk of failure.
He slowly retreated through the narrow passage, planning to not attract the attention of these snake monsters.
But sometimes, the less you want something to happen, the more it will happen.
The snake monsters in front of him quickly crawled over at an extremely fast speed! They had clearly noticed him!
“Oh no!”
Seeing this, Zhou Chen turned and ran. He did not want to fight these snake monsters head-on. They had the advantage in numbers and might be poisonous.
Because Zhou Chen’s physique and agility attributes were relatively high, his speed was quite fast, and he was not caught by the snake monsters immediately.
However, one of the snake monsters seemed to be special. Its body was larger than the others, and its speed was much faster. It caught up to Zhou Chen after just a few seconds and quickly wrapped itself around his body. It raised its head and bit at his neck.
Zhou Chen did not expect this snake monster to be so much faster than him. When he reacted, he quickly struck with his rod, but the other party agilely dodged it and coiled around him in the blink of an eye. Coincidentally, there were a few larger stones on the way, catching him off guard and making him fall to the ground.
In the end, he did not manage to grab the snake’s neck in time. He only managed to grab it after it bit his neck.
After the snake monster bit him, it realized that it had come into contact with some kind of corrosive poison, and its body began to turn black and stiff.
It was obvious that Zhou Chen had activated the corpse poison ability before he was attacked.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have plundered the passive skills of the Swift Snake, “Physique Enhancement I” and “Agility Enhancement I”. Detected that its “Agility Enhancement I” is superior to your current passive skill. It will automatically be replaced.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have plundered the passive skill of the Swift Snake, “Snake Venom I”. Do you want to absorb it?]
“Absorb!”
Zhou Chen already felt that there was something wrong with his body. His mind seemed to be in a daze. He knew that he had been poisoned by the snake venom. At this critical moment, he could only hope that the absorption of the Snake Venom passive skill could improve this situation.
Having a poison ability usually meant resistance or immunity to the poison. Otherwise, the user would be poisoned to death by their own poison.
The system’s actions were as efficient as ever. Zhou Chen almost instantly felt some cold energy in his body, but his dazed state did not improve, nor did it continue to worsen.
At this moment, the snake monsters, who had been thrown off by him, caught up. They quickly wrapped around Zhou Chen, who was still lying on the ground, and bit him.
Zhou Chen was not too worried about this tragic situation because he had already activated the corpse poison in his body. Looking at the rigid corpse of the snake monster that had bitten him earlier, he could tell that the corpse poison was very effective against these snake monsters, unlike how it fared against zombies.
Soon, after a few more bleeding fang marks appeared on his body, Zhou Chen realized that the snake monsters around him were no longer moving. They quickly became as hard as wood, and their skins became darker and darker.
“Fortunately, I have the ability of corpse poison. Otherwise, I would be dead this time.”
After the snake monsters died, Zhou Chen did not immediately get up and shake off the snake monsters’ bodies. Instead, he remained on the ground.
Because the feeling of being in a daze was still present, and his body was exhausted, it was safer to lie on the ground and play dead.
[You have killed the Swift Snake. Reward: 1 Whip (Low Bronze).]
Just as he was struggling with the snake venom in his body, the system notified him that he had obtained a reward.
“It actually dropped a whip…”
Zhou Chen was surprised by the item. He had never thought that he would obtain such a thing.
After complaining slightly, he opened his character interface and inventory space to check.
[Name: Zhou Chen
Physique: 1.5
Agility: 1.6
Spirit: 1.6
Talent: Passive Plunderer
Passive Skills: Corpse Poison I, Snake Venom I, Agility Enhancement I, Spirit Enhancement I, Physique Enhancement I, Combat Arts I, Spear Arts I, Low Light Vision I, Life Recovery I
Comprehensive Evaluation: Low Bronze]
“My agility increased by 0.2. So this snake monster has a passive skill that increases agility by 0.5. No wonder its movements were so fast…”
Then, he focused on the Snake Venom skill.
[Snake Venom I
Type: Low bronze passive skill
Your teeth are poisonous. You can numb the spirit and cause organ failure of bronze-ranked targets after biting through their skin.]
“This snake venom seems to be a little ruthless. I don’t feel so dazed now, it’s probably because the Snake Venom and Life Recovery passive skills’ effects are kicking in. I hope I can return to normal soon.”
Zhou Chen felt that the reason he could maintain a relatively clear-headed state now was not only because he had absorbed the Snake Venom skill in time and obtained some resistance to the snake venom, but also because of the Life Recovery passive skill.
[Inventory Space: 1 Cola (Low Bronze), 1 Whip (Low Bronze)]
[Whip]
Type: Low Bronze item.
This is an ordinary whip. You can use it to herd cows and sheep, or use it to defend yourself.]
“Herding livestock, hehe… There’s no such cute creatures in this monster cave.”
Zhou Chen once again experienced the difficulty of the Survival missions. He had only started Survival missions about 10 days ago, but he had already fallen into a predicament several times. If not for his Passive Plunderer talent being rather useful, he would have died many times.
“I have to be more cautious. Moreover, the strategy of directly escaping was not right.”
After reflecting on the previous situation, Zhou Chen felt that he was still not careful enough and did not discover these snake monsters at the beginning. If he had been more careful and retreated earlier, he would not have had to come into contact with these terrifying monsters.
Moreover, he realized that there was a problem with his strategy just now.. If he had not fled outright, and instead, fought with them, he might not have suffered so many injuries.
