Chapter 170 Gathering at the Summit of South Peak [Third Update]
The Bengal Tiger didn't manage to knock Chu Ge down, and he was taken aback.
"Has this guy gotten stronger?"
He was secretly horrified and didn't dare to think too much, immediately pouncing on Chu Ge, trying to pin him down.
But Chu Ge was not afraid of him, swinging his palm to strike.
With a smack!
The Bengal Tiger's head was hit and he instantly fell to the ground, dazed.
The Polar Bear nearly pissed himself in fear.
Knocking down such a large tiger with one slap?
"Is this lion mistaking himself for a tiger?"
Swallowing hard, the Polar Bear thought to himself. In his mind, tigers loved to swipe with their claws, while lions relied on their mouths.
Little did he know that in the wild, male lions also loved to swipe with their paws.
Lions of the savannah were not the same as those in zoos.
Chu Ge quickly rushed over, pinned the Bengal Tiger to the ground, and began to tear and bite him frantically.
The continuous roars of the wild beast scared some birds in the forest into flying away.
The Bengal Tiger was eliminated in the previous Survival Competition, but since King Kuihu survived till the end, he also earned a small amount of Survival Points, just enough to enhance his Speed.
Overpowered by more than one thousand five hundred points in strength, the Bengal Tiger was helpless.
Gu Tianjiao turned to watch the Polar Bear, preventing it from running away.
The Polar Bear didn't take her seriously at all, leaving behind a vicious threat as he ran, "Kitten, don't follow me, or I'll tear you to shreds!"
Gu Tianjiao leaped and landed directly on its back, biting into the back of its neck.
Her teeth pierced the flesh, and Venom followed into the Polar Bear's bloodstream.
The Polar Bear struggled madly, trying to shake Gu Tianjiao off, to no avail.
It ran another seven or eight meters, then suddenly felt its limbs go weak and fell over.
Lying in the snow, it foamed at the mouth and twitched.
"You... damn... poisonous..."
The Polar Bear cursed with difficulty, but before it could completely die, Gu Tianjiao turned and left.
After walking five steps, Gu Tianjiao softly chuckled, "Die."
The Polar Bear kicked out with its legs and died completely.
Elsewhere.
The Bengal Tiger had also lost its combat effectiveness, bloodied and senseless in all four limbs from Chu Ge's biting.
Chu Ge's face was covered in blood, the Bengal Tiger's blood.
He looked down at the Bengal Tiger and asked coldly, "Where is King Kuihu?"
"I don't know..."
"Hmm?"
"Really, I don't know... After each Survival Competition, he would leave us to our tasks and rarely join us in battle. He might have gone to the summit of South Peak..."
"Why are you being so honest?"
"I, too, hope you can kill him..."
The Bengal Tiger's consciousness grew increasingly fuzzy, and after saying these words, he died.
"You have successfully hunted an enemy and gained 200 Survival Points."
"Since this Survivor has already hunted four enemies, you gain an additional 400 Survival Points."
An indifferent female voice followed, Chu Ge licked his lips, and turned to walk towards Gu Tianjiao.
Just then.
Gu Tianjiao suddenly said, "Someone is coming, hide quickly!"
They quickly left.
Shortly after they departed, a cautious group arrived.
Twelve Special Forces Soldiers and five reporters, including Tang Qiusheng and his female assistant.
They stood before the Bengal Tiger's carcass, their eyes wide with disbelief.
A female reporter pushed up her glasses, fearfully saying, "The Bengal Tiger, such a big one, who killed it? That Northeast Tiger?"
The others joined in the discussion.
"Could also be that African Lion, terrifyingly strong!"
"So cruel."
"Luckily it wasn't a human that died."
"Everyone, stay close to the soldiers for protection."
"Get a shot of that."
Journalists and special forces soldiers alike shivered down their spines.
Once they confirmed that the Bengal tiger was completely dead, they continued on their way, heading for the mountain summit.
Roars of a tiger echoed from the summit every now and then.
It was probably that Northeast tiger.
Tang Qiusheng gazed at the summit, murmuring, "The pinnacle of achievement..."
His female assistant asked curiously, "The pinnacle of achievement? What pinnacle of achievement?"
Tang Qiusheng shook his head, saying no more.
...
From high above, the summit of South Peak of Huashan looked like a semi-circular tip of a mountain range, with a bare cliff face featuring a Skywalk. Humans needed to tread on the narrow wooden planks to climb the mountain.
This Skywalk was even narrower than the one Chu Ge and the others had passed earlier; the cliff face was nearly vertical and terrifying to behold.
A robust Northeast tiger was slowly making its way up the Skywalk.
It was King Kuihu.
He wasn't moving fast, pausing after each step as if he were waiting for something.
"Roar—"
He roared again, his tiger's roar reverberating between the mountains.
The mist churned, and the aura of the Beast King was displayed to its fullest extent.
After his long roar, he licked his lips, then took another step forward.
Below.
In the forest.
Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao hid under a tree, peeking through the gaps in the leaves, they could already see the figure of King Kuihu.
"What exactly does he want to do?" Chu Ge asked, furrowing his brows.
Does King Kuihu really want to attract humans as an audience?
There was still more than two days left in the Survival Competition, was he being too reckless?
"Probably trying to show off," Gu Tianjiao scoffed, she had little regard for King Kuihu.
You can always stay in the Two Stars Arena and farm points, but what's the point of showing off like this?
"So there are no restrictions in the Survival Arena? If someone doesn't want to level up, they can just not level up?" Chu Ge asked, puzzled.
King Kuihu's approach, to be honest, was very cautious; at least he had no fear for his life.
Gu Tianjiao replied, "It probably has something to do with the team, I'm not entirely sure of the specifics."
Chu Ge began to survey the Skywalk leading to the top of South Peak.
This Skywalk was like a line wrapped around the body of the mountain, at least four to five hundred meters long.
He remembered that Huashan in his previous life only had one Skywalk; now there were two, and the South Peak was four hundred meters taller than in his previous life.
What did that signify?
Chu Ge fell into deep thought.
A short while later.
The two found a bush to hide in.
With King Kuihu drawing so much attention, the special forces would surely be attracted by him when they arrived, overlooking the environment around them.
Two hours later.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
King Kuihu hadn't reached the summit yet, still roaring on the Skywalk, the Tiger King's posture so dominant.
At that moment, Tang Qiusheng and the others finally arrived nearby.
Stepping out of the woods, they were all dumbfounded as they looked up at King Kuihu on the Skywalk.
"What does that tiger want to do?"
A special forces soldier asked nervously. Northeast tigers were rare, endangered species, and they dared not shoot directly, lest the tiger fall to its death.
Tang Qiusheng stepped forward and said, "Don't interfere with it; it's probably waiting for other fierce beasts."
"What do you mean?" a journalist asked, puzzled. He thought of the previously encountered Bengal tiger, was it killed by this Northeast tiger?
Tang Qiusheng lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and said leisurely, "Among wild animals, there's always been the title of Beast King. It's not just a human concoction; they have this awareness too. With so many fierce beasts on Huashan, a battle for the Beast King is inevitable."
"This Tiger King is defending its dignity as the Beast King. It's challenging its enemies. Let's not disturb them and wait instead."
The battle for the Beast King!
Everyone was stunned to hear this.
How could that sound so unreliable?
