Survival Arena

After eating, Chu Ge roamed, all the while harbouring an expectant mood as he waited.

However.

He waited for a long time, but his body showed no reaction whatsoever.

What was this?

Chu Ge suddenly felt as if he had been duped.

"Could it be because I'm not a Survival Entity right now, so there's no reaction?"

Chu Ge wondered in confusion, comforting himself with that thought.

He carefully considered that acquiring this thing hadn't cost him much effort, nor had he taken much risk; even if it didn't make him stronger, it was okay.

To survive was enough.

Chu Ge adjusted his mindset and quickly left.

Half an hour after he and the Sailfish left, the Mosasaur appeared once again in their previous location as if by magic.

It looked around in all directions, continuing to pursue Chu Ge and the Sailfish.

...

Nightfall descended.

Chu Ge's body still didn't heat up; it was just the same as usual, without any change.

He completely gave up on the idea of becoming stronger.

Now, his thoughts shifted to how to survive until the end.

Since parting ways with the Sailfish, he hadn't encountered any other Survivors.

By now, the number of Survivors had surely dwindled to one-tenth of what it was at the start.

Chu Ge once again found an archway to hide and rest.

"The vice-captain of 'Suicide', Gu Tianjiao, is eliminated!"

An indifferent female voice suddenly rang out, startling Chu Ge.

How was she eliminated?

He noticed the wording of the announcement; it was elimination, not being hunted down by an enemy.

Could it be that this woman had encountered danger and committed suicide?

Gu Tianjiao's elimination made him tense.

Now, it was just him and Xiao Poor Thing left.

He didn't have much hope for Xiao Poor Thing.

"I must survive until the end!"

Chu Ge's eyes became resolute as he decided not to take risks anymore.

The night flickered hazily within the ocean.

Countless dangers lurked beneath this solitude.

...

In the blink of an eye.

The Survival Competition was down to the second to last day.

At twilight that day, Chu Ge sped across the sea's surface at a high speed.

He was simply moving his hideout, not hunting.

Since Gu Tianjiao's elimination, he had been quickly changing his hiding spots every four hours.

During this time, he hadn't encountered the Mosasaur again.

Presumably, the Mosasaur had gone after the Sailfish.

The unconventional survival substance's scent on the Sailfish was stronger than his, and it would surely attract the Mosasaur more.

"After today, there's just one more day to go until it's over."

Chu Ge thought silently; he felt physically and mentally exhausted, from nine continuous days of hiding and being hunted, which was extremely draining.

He dared not sleep too deeply.

He couldn't help but admire wild animals, for whom survival was a lifetime of such existence, while he only had to experience it for a while.

However, given the intelligence and emotional capacity of most wild animals, they relied on instinct and wouldn't feel the melancholy that humans do.

Humans were so complex, destroying nature yet feeling sad about it.

Perhaps it was for this reason that humans became the rulers of the Earth.

"There are 30 hours left in the random species Survival Competition, and the death elimination of this team competition is about to begin, please all Survivors prepare yourselves!"

"Countdown, 30 seconds!"

"29!"

"28!"

The indifferent female voice suddenly resounded, causing Chu Ge to be stunned.

What the hell!

Death elimination?

What was this supposed to mean?

Chu Ge tensed up, completely unaware that the Survival Competition would be ramping up the difficulty.

Neither Gu Tianjiao nor Gao Fei had mentioned it.

And both of them had been eliminated already.

Chu Ge tried to calm his emotions and waited for the countdown to end.

"What will happen?"

Chu Ge couldn't help but think, and to be on the safe side, he directly entered Color Change state.

At that moment, he truly experienced what it meant for seconds to feel like years.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Death Elimination officially begins!"

Chu Ge's heartbeat pounded like a drum, almost leaping out of his body.

Just then, the current below suddenly started swirling, creating a terrifying suction pulling Chu Ge down.

Chu Ge was frightened and wanted to resist, but it was no use.

Soon, his consciousness plunged into darkness.

...

Unsure how much time had passed, Chu Ge's consciousness slowly awakened.

He slowly opened his eyes, and absolte darkness filled his vision.

His heart shuddered, he was extremely nervous.

"What is this place?"

Chu Ge had never been to a place so dark, completely devoid of light.

He suddenly thought of a term.

Deep sea!

No way...

Had he fallen into the deep sea?

Chu Ge's heart almost jumped out of his throat with nervousness.

For humans, the deep sea represents mystery, it represents fear.

Humans know very little about marine life below 200 meters, not to mention below 1,000 meters, or even 10,000 meters.

The deeper the seafloor, the greater the pressure.

Land creatures simply cannot withstand it.

Miraculously, Chu Ge didn't feel any pressure, only the darkness made him uncomfortable.

Perhaps the Survival Arena negated the pressure for him.

What Chu Ge wanted to know most now was how deep under the sea he was.

This information was vital.

The deeper, the more terrifying.

If he were to encounter another Sea Monster...

Just the thought sent a chill down Chu Ge's spine.

He started to make an effort to adapt to the darkness.

Dolphins themselves like swimming at night, and some even dive into the deep sea, it's just Chu Ge's first time here.

He could feel the movement of the surrounding seawater.

About half an hour passed, and Chu Ge finally managed to faintly make out his environment.

Such vision was not enough to help him advance.

Chu Ge took a deep breath and started to make sounds.

Due to the dolphin's unique body structure, it possesses a miraculous sonar system; its sounds are ultrasonic, used for hunting and communication.

If the sonar hits an obstruction, it means there is something up ahead.

If that something stays constant, it's likely an immovable object like a rock.

If the previous sonar signal detected it, but the next doesn't, that means the object is alive.

Furthermore, the range of the sonar's echo can determine the size of the object.

Chu Ge had tried to use it before but found it too difficult and abandoned the attempt, but now he had to use sonar to identify direction and environment.

He began to carefully explore.

"Survival Team—Survive wiped out!"

A prompt suddenly sounded, and although Chu Ge was accustomed to it, hearing it in this environment still sent a shiver through him.

After a while, Chu Ge simulated the surroundings in his mind.

This seemed to be a pile of rocks, stones in all directions, and some very small fish.

He slowly descended and landed on the sandy bottom.

"Survival Team—A Dream ended in a wipeout!"

Another Survival Team was gone.

Chu Ge suddenly thought of Xiao Poor Thing, wondering how she was faring.

He continued to send out sonar signals, observing his surroundings.

He wasn't afraid of being heard by other marine life because many marine animals' sonar can only be heard by their own species.

Even if discovered by an enemy, he could flee.

With the help of sonar, even if an enemy approached in Color Change, he would detect them.

Time silently flowed by.

Chu Ge suddenly sensed something approaching him, and he immediately changed color.
