Survival Arena

Chu Ge hid deep in the mountain cave, feeling the walls tremble as his heart pounded fiercely.

The shaking of the cave became more intense.

The Mosasaur was getting closer.

It's over...

Chu Ge was utterly despondent.

He had already begun to organize the words to apologize to his teammates.

After all, he was the team leader and had not taken on the responsibility he should have.

He murmured to himself in his heart.

A little while later.

The frequency of the cave's shaking decreased, the Mosasaur seemed to have passed the cave where he was hiding.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This isn't working... once the other Survivors are all dead, it will still be able to smell me..."

Chu Ge hesitated in his mind.

According to the time, barely an hour had passed.

It might not even have been an hour yet.

How could he endure the remaining nine hours?

"When narrow paths meet, the brave prevails..."

"Survival of the fittest, I must survive..."

Chu Ge's eyes glittered, a decision forming in his heart.

Screw being a coward!

Staying here was a dead end, going out could lead to death as well, so he might as well fight!

Chu Ge immediately changed color and swiftly swam out.

Circling the tunnel, he burst out of the cave's entrance.

He turned to look. The Mosasaur was drilling through a hole fifty meters to the left, with currents going wild and rocks flying up in a cloud of dust.

He looked up at the mountain peak, those strange black fish were still there.

He immediately swam downward.

According to his guess, it was impossible for the Survivors to escape this area, the purpose of those black fish was to prevent the Survivors from escaping.

Chu Ge didn't want to challenge the rules, he planned to hide in the coral forest.

The coral forest was like a woodland, big enough to hide not just a dolphin but even a full-grown Great White Shark.

Using his Change Color Ability, he quickly dove into the coral forest and found a quiet corner to hide in.

His hiding spot, even if he released the change color state, would be hard to find.

He took a long breath.

This place was safer.

"Can you stay further away from me?"

A familiar and cool voice came through.

Without turning his head, Chu Ge knew who it was.

He hadn't seen any other Survivor as he hid below.

That meant the person hiding here also had the Change Color Ability.

Sailfish!

Chu Ge replied irritably, "How come I run into you wherever I go?"

Sailfish remained silent.

This time, silence was more powerful than words.

Chu Ge raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on the Mosasaur.

He suddenly felt a chill approaching.

"What are you planning to do?" he asked in a low voice.

Sailfish answered, "Getting closer makes it easier to communicate, let's continue cooperating."

Chu Ge found it rather awkward to hear.

If it were a girl, it would be fine, but what the hell is up with a big guy sounding so homoerotic!

"Cooperate now? Apart from scraping by, what else can we do? I'm not looking to get myself killed."

Chu Ge replied softly. He suddenly saw a big fish sneak out of the cave, attempting to quietly escape.

The voice of Sailfish floated over, "I feel like we can't hide forever, why don't we join forces and kill this guy?"

Chu Ge's eyes widened in disbelief, was this guy insane?

How many times their size was the Mosasaur?

You believe a Local Dog can hunt down an elephant? Especially such a brutal one?

"You go if you want, I'm too scared," Chu Ge retorted.

What a joke.

He wasn't alone in this, he was carrying the hope of the entire team.

This time he had gathered a record high in Survival Points, and he was already quite content.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Are you even a man?" Sailfish scoffed.

"No, I'm not, I'm a dolphin."

"Heh."

"Dude, stay steady, don't do anything rash."

"Do you know what kind of person is the most pitiable?"

"People like you who court death."

"..."

The conversation halted, and the atmosphere turned awkward.

Chu Ge didn't mind the awkwardness—his attention was focused on the Mosasaur.

The Mosasaur began colliding into caves one after another.

Some Survivors were eaten by it, while others were buried alive as the caves collapsed.

One hour later.

Chu Ge could no longer see any other Survivors.

The undersea valley quieted down.

The Mosasaur lay on a pile of rubble and fell asleep.

The school of blackfish on the mountain top had vanished at some point, and everything seemed to return to harmony.

Chu Ge didn't let his guard down, keeping a close watch on the Mosasaur.

Time continued to pass.

The Mosasaur fell into a deep sleep, and giant bubbles began to emerge from its mouth.

"I hope this is the last challenge..."

Chu Ge prayed silently, as focusing intently on one thing was suffocating.

He wasn't clear on how much time was left in the Survival Competition.

But suddenly, he felt drowsy.

Your next read awaits at empire

No good!

He must resist!

Chu Ge kept encouraging himself, and in his mind, he began to fantasize about the scene after the Survival Competition ended.

He wanted to exchange for Level 4 Survival Skills!

He wanted to go out and enjoy a good meal, to celebrate.

Wait.

However, the more he thought about it, the sleepier he became.

After all, in these ten days, he had been mostly on alert and hadn't slept well.

At this moment.

Chu Ge suddenly realized the coldness beside him had disappeared.

He woke up immediately.

"Sailfish? Are you there?"

"Xiao Bing? Are you there?"

"Little Cold? Are you there?"

"QQ Xiao Bing? Are you there?"

He called out softly but received no response from the Sailfish.

Could it be that fellow was really planning on hunting the Mosasaur?

That wasn't just gutsy—it was like having the boldness of the Monkey King!

Chu Ge turned his gaze toward the Mosasaur.

After watching for a while, he finally caught sight of a blurry shadow.

Sailfish!

No matter how strong the Change Color Ability, there would be a fluctuation in its movement.

He watched the blurry figure slowly approach the Mosasaur.

"Seeking death, Xiao Bing, but you are brave. In your memory, I'll register a QQ account for you and preserve it forever on my friends list. Under that gray avatar, the personal signature will read… If heaven bestows me with glory, I shall surely surpass the Mosasaur in madness."

Chu Ge thought wickedly, finding that only such thoughts could revive his spirit.

The Sailfish moved very slowly; it took more than ten minutes before it reached the back of the Mosasaur.

Immediately after, Chu Ge saw a burst of cold air appear on the Mosasaur's back, rapidly condensing into ice, and the Sailfish's form also became visible.

Its slender body turned into Blue Ice, while the cold air fell, and the Mosasaur's back started to freeze at a visible speed.

Chu Ge's eyes widened.

Holy crap!

Could this fellow actually succeed?

Just as he was about to get excited, the Mosasaur suddenly opened its eyes.

Boom—

The Mosasaur stood up, twisting its body, trying to shake off the ice. Its colossal body caused the rubble below to slide away.

The Sailfish continued to release its cold air; the rate of icing was indeed fast, but the Mosasaur was too large, and it would take some time to completely encase it in ice.

The Mosasaur, sensing something was amiss, suddenly became furious.

It began to thrash wildly, slamming into the nearby mountain walls, causing the water to churn.

The Sailfish hastily dodged out of the way.

In the water, it couldn't recover its body temperature quickly.

Unlike Chu Ge, the icy seawater would only reinforce the cold, which was counterproductive for the Sailfish at the moment.

The Sailfish turned around, trying to take refuge in the Coral Forest.

Damn!

Chu Ge cursed inwardly, quickly changed color, and fled.

Seeing the Sailfish, the Mosasaur immediately charged, its massive body crushing the corals like a steamroller, unstoppable.

"Don't run! Let's join forces instead! Otherwise, we have only death ahead!"

The anxious voice of the Sailfish came from behind Chu Ge, making him want to curse out loud.
