Survival Arena

After Gu Tianjiao laid out the plan, the five people, prepared to meet death, immediately took action.

Chu Ge was carried on Nangong's back, and Nangong almost collapsed under the weight.

"Boss... you're really too heavy... Wukong, help me steady him..."

Nangong howled, his body unable to bear such pressure.

Ye Wukong hurried to help.

"The captain is strong, but I think you're just beefing up for nothing," Gu Tianjiao snorted.

Nangong gave a bitter smile, at a loss for words.

With Ye Wukong's help, he managed to carry Chu Ge forward, though with difficulty.

Without carrying Chu Ge, Nangong would be scared just walking down the Skywalk alone, let alone carrying another person.

Chu Ge could clearly feel his trembling.

It wasn't just the physical strain, he was also very scared.

Chu Ge sighed inwardly.

Arno was leading the way, Ye Wukong was supporting Chu Ge's body, and Gu Tianjiao brought up the rear.

Suicide began descending the mountain.

There were still some Survivors lurking in the mountains.

Having heard of the annihilation of the Roaring Tiger Group, they felt wary of Suicide.

As the journey bumped along, drowsiness washed over Chu Ge like a tide.

Physical strength was depleted, seriously injured, and eyelids heavy.

Chu Ge had never been so tired.

Gradually.

He fell into a deep sleep.

...

Who knows how much time had passed.

Chu Ge awoke from the deep sleep.

His head was groggy, feeling as if he had been asleep for a long time, yet he hadn't dreamed at all.

He slowly opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was a clump of trees.

The light was dim.

It should be deep in the night now.

"You're awake?"

A familiar voice reached him, and Chu Ge glanced over; the speaker was none other than Gu Tianjiao.

She lay next to him, resting.

Nangong and Ye Wukong lay on the other side.

He noted that Nangong's left claw was gone, the flesh a blurred mess.

Both of their breathing was very weak.

"What's the time now?" Chu Ge asked, his voice hoarse.

As he spoke, a tearing pain seared through his throat.

Gu Tianjiao replied, "There should be two or three hours left until the end of the Survival Competition, it won't be long before dawn."

Chu Ge moistened his throat with saliva, then just as he was about to ask more questions, Gu Tianjiao pressed a claw against his mouth.

"I know what you want to ask. Don't speak, just rest well, I'll tell you everything," she said.

"Nangong and Ye Wukong just went through a fierce battle and are now resting. Arno is hunting down enemies. During the time you were unconscious, we wiped out two other Survival Teams."

"Arno is busy trying to get to fifty kills. Xiao Poor Thing rushed back to us a short while ago, but she left again to lead the soldiers away."

Chu Ge had mixed feelings as he listened.

After he lost the ability to fight, his teammates were still trying hard.

He felt both relieved and somewhat guilty.

If he had been stronger, he wouldn't have been in this situation.

But from now on, he wouldn't be this miserable anymore!

King Kuihu wouldn't be able to put this kind of pressure on him again!

Because he had gained a brand new Survival Skill!

Raging Flame Separation!

"We've now given up on heading to the South Peak Summit and left it to Local Snake; even if we fail, we'll only lose a few Survival Points," Gu Tianjiao continued.

Chu Ge had no objection to this.

By now, he had accumulated tens of thousands of Survival Points, and it didn't matter even if they weren't one of the top three teams for altitude gain.

Even if they ended up being the third-to-last, they could bear it.

Time continued to pass.

From the direction of the summit, roars occasionally sounded, suggesting that a battle for the position on the peak was happening.

Chu Ge and the others, however, were not disturbed by this.

About another hour passed.

Ye Wukong awoke, smiled at Chu Ge, but said nothing.

The usually talkative him keeping quiet showed that he really felt awful.

The atmosphere was somber.

The sky gradually brightened.

It heralded the imminent end of the climb to the summit battle.

Xiao Poor Thing hurried back, limping with a ghastly wound on her back.

She squatted next to Gu Tianjiao without a word of complaint, instead smiling, "There are no Vengeful Ghosts nearby anymore, everyone can rest easy, and all the Survivors have gone to the mountain top."

Gu Tianjiao asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"Hehe, what's this little injury compared to what you all have been through? It's just a minor pain," Xiao Poor Thing laughed, feigning a casual tone.

Gu Tianjiao nodded with a smile in her eyes.

Although this battle was brutal, at least they were all still alive.

It was the greatest victory since Suicide Squad was established.

Even Xiao Poor Thing had become stronger.

Suicide Squad was evolving into the strong team Gu Tianjiao dreamed of.

Chu Ge appreciated Xiao Poor Thing with an approving glance.

He could see Xiao Poor Thing transforming. Experience new stories on empire

It was a positive change.

At least in the future, he wouldn't face the harsh choice of cruelly kicking out old teammates.

Time kept passing.

Arno still hadn't come back.

After the sky had fully lit up,

the summit battle finally ended.

"The Survival Competition—climb to the summit battle has ended!"

"You have successfully cleared it and earned 200 Survival Points."

"As the member of 'Local Snake' from 'Suicide Squad' reached the highest altitude in this Survival Competition, the entire team is awarded an additional 500 Survival Points."

"You have earned a total of 12,100 Survival Points from enemy kills in this Survival Competition."

"Your total earnings are 12,800 Survival Points."

A detached female voice made a series of announcements, and Chu Ge exhaled a breath of relief.

His consciousness whirled with the spinning heavens and earth.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the Team Cultivation Hall.

Beams of light descended from above, enveloping him and the other team members.

All of them were badly injured and needed treatment.

"Due to severe damage to your genes, would you like to spend 1,000 Survival Points for repair?"

"If not repaired, you may suffer from serious illnesses or injuries without cause in the future."

1,000 Survival Points?

It's a deal!

Chu Ge, wealthy and bold, agreed without hesitation.

Immediately, a warm current flowed into his body.

He finally regained control over his body, his strength gushing out like a spring, allowing him to slowly stand up.

"Hahaha! Impressive, am I not? I've made a killing this time! Hahaha!"

Local Snake laughed maniacally as though he had won the lottery.

The others were also thrilled; this time, they had all made enemy kills. Even without that, the base Survival Points were a hefty sum.

This battle was a grand delight for all of them!

Even the usually composed Gu Tianjiao smiled with crescent eyes.

The glow around everyone faded away.

Chu Ge twisted his neck, feeling invigorated with strength throughout his body and a clear consciousness, refreshed and spirited.

Looking at his excited teammates, he laughed, "This time, I only have one comment for you all!"

"Strong!"

Gu Tianjiao, Arno, Xiao Poor Thing, Nangong, Ye Wukong, and Local Snake all laughed out loud.

It truly felt great!

Gu Tianjiao spoke up, "Everyone, don't spend your Survival Points recklessly. We still need to discuss our path to becoming stronger together to maximize our chances to survive."

Everyone nodded mirthfully in agreement.

Arno asked, "I killed 23 enemies. Have we reached a total of 50 team kills?"

23!

Ye Wukong and Nangong clicked their tongues in amazement; this guy was really fierce!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chu Ge wasn't very surprised, after all, King Kuihu had killed 35 enemies, and that was on the second-to-last day of the Survival Competition.

If King Kuihu had survived until the final day, his kill count would easily have broken fifty.

...
