Survival Arena

```

Hundred Ghosts Rampage felt indignant about the rules.

Just one day had passed and they'd been hit by the Never Fight Back Rule four times; they felt like they were being targeted.

"Maybe it's because we're too strong," Python consoled himself.

Polar Bear chuckled, "It's actually good in a sense; without these rules to constrain us, we'd definitely be more reckless than Roaring Tiger Group and Southern Assassins. Just look at their fate, barely into the second day and they're almost wiped out."

He reveled in schadenfreude, having been previously chased by Roaring Tiger Group, it was a grievance he held close to his heart.

Hippopotamus laughed, "Survive, and I Want to Defy the Heavens are wiped out. Roaring Tiger Group, Southern Assassins, and Poisonous Poppy are nearly wiped out; our enemies are now reduced to Suicide and Soaring Grass."

Perfect plot development!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With their most worrisome enemies having inflicted mutual damage upon each other, they once again felt that being hit by the Never Fight Back Rule a few more times wouldn't be that bad.

Of course, not too many times, or else they'd feel stifled for the entire Survival Competition.

Hundred Ghosts Rampage didn't move from their spot; they stayed put to rest, waiting for the duration of Never Fight Back to pass.

...

In the dirt, Local Snake was basking in the sun.

"This is truly comfortable; every Survival Competition feels like a holiday, appreciating the beauty of nature for free. When you think about it, it's actually quite nice not to engage in fighting and killing."

He mused, feeling exceptionally good.

Not to mention, the view on High Mountain is truly breathtaking.

To fight in such cold weather would truly be a hardship.

At that moment.

A Gray Wolf shot past him, covered in wounds.

It was the leader of Southern Assassins.

"Damn it, that stinking lion, even if I lose, I'll make sure you die with me."

As Gray Wolf moved on, he gritted his teeth and cursed.

Upon hearing this, Local Snake thought, a lion?

This wasn't the first time he'd heard about Roaring Tiger, and he knew they were the strongest team in this Survival Competition.

After Gray Wolf had gone far enough, Local Snake finally spoke up, "Young people are so keen on holding grudges. My level of consciousness is higher; the greatest conflict is the one not fought, and the most enduring killing is the one not committed."

After saying this, he started feeling self-impressed again.

I'm truly a freaking genius.

A casual remark from me encapsulates the very essence of the Survival Arena.

...

In the sparse woods, Chu Ge lay on the ground while Gu Tianjiao was licking his wounds.

"Is this really helping, aren't you poisonous?"

Chu Ge asked worriedly. Gu Tianjiao's saliva felt cool, and the tiny barbs on her tongue didn't cause pain when they brushed against the edges of his wound—just a bit of tickling.

Quite miraculous.

Gu Tianjiao hummed, "It is poisonous, poisonous enough to kill you."

Hearing that, Chu Ge completely relaxed.

Although he didn't understand how Gu Tianjiao could control her toxin, he chose to trust her.

"My deputy leader, what have you been busy with in real life recently?" Chu Ge gazed into the distance and asked nonchalantly.

Gu Tianjiao responded with a chuckle, "Dating."

Chu Ge turned and glared at her skeptically, "You're bluffing. You're so strong-willed, what guy could catch your eye?"

"That's none of your business! I can't spend all my time on the team, I need to date, I need to have a life," Gu Tianjiao huffed, sounding disgruntled.

On hearing this, Chu Ge inexplicably felt downcast.

I haven't even dated yet, and you're starting to date?

"Just kidding, indeed, no guy has caught my eye. I'm busy with other things that I can't talk about. Real life and the Survival Arena have to be kept separate," Gu Tianjiao suddenly said, her laughter sweeter, her tone now carrying a feminine charm.

Chu Ge nodded in satisfaction, now he felt at ease.

Gu Tianjiao teased, "What, are you afraid that other men will snatch me away? Are you starting to like me?"

Chu Ge's smile held deeper meaning as he said, "Yeah, I have started to 'like' you."

He emphasized the word 'like.'

"Ah..."

Suddenly, he let out a pained scream; excruciating pain stabbed into his back, making him inhale sharply.

That wretched woman, so cruel!

Gu Tianjiao hummed, "Don't flirt with me, or I might poison you so severely that you'd be lion-ized without descendants."

Chu Ge helplessly replied, "As if I could even give birth to a lion."

"Want to try? I can find you a lioness."

```

"Alright, I'm already three years old, and a lion at three years old has an extreme desire to mate."

"Get lost! Don't be so disgusting, remember you're human!"

"What can I do if I can't control my body's instincts?"

"Control it forcefully!"

"You win."

The two bantered while tending to their wounds.

Gradually, Chu Ge felt his back wounds had become numb, and the burden caused by the injury had greatly lessened.

He even felt sleepy.

"Sleep for a while, I'll wake you if there's danger."

Gu Tianjiao's figure came from behind, and Chu Ge immediately relaxed, falling asleep quickly.

Before his consciousness slipped into dreamland, he wondered why her voice sounded so gentle?

...

He had no idea how long had passed.

Chu Ge awoke and slowly opened his eyes.

Dusk filled his sight.

He was startled and quickly got up, activating the wounds on his back, but he felt no pain, only a numbness that was very uncomfortable.

"Don't panic, it's okay."

Gu Tianjiao's voice floated over, and Chu Ge turned to look; she was leaning close to him.

He let out a sigh and muttered, "I didn't expect to sleep so deeply, it's already dark."

He was a bit frightened. What if they had encountered enemies during this time?

Even with Gu Tianjiao by his side, he should have remained vigilant.

"Don't worry, less than one-third of the survivors from the eight Survival Teams are left now, most are hiding."

Gu Tianjiao lay on the snow, saying so nonchalantly.

Seeing Chu Ge suddenly panic, she wanted to laugh.

Chu Ge looked into the distance and said, "Let's find a place to hide."

Gu Tianjiao nodded and then stood up.

The two walked forward.

For some reason, Chu Ge suddenly felt the dusk was unusually red, even redder than yesterday.

"Don't you think this sky looks rather lurid?" Chu Ge asked softly.

Gu Tianjiao curled her lip and said, "What, are there monsters?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes. If they were talking about monsters, they were the monsters.

"Survival Team 'Soaring Grass' has been wiped out by 'Hundred Ghosts Rampage' Survival Team!"

The cold female voice suddenly rang out, startling both Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao.

Bald Eagle was from Soaring Grass, very strong and capable of flight; how could they be wiped out?

Were Hundred Ghosts Rampage that powerful?

Chu Ge frowned at the thought.

Gu Tianjiao was also pondering.

"Hundred Ghosts Rampage might still be at full strength; let's hide, and from now on, we won't engage in fighting enemies."

Gu Tianjiao took a deep breath and spoke, she had to consider from the team's perspective.

They had already earned Survival Points, and even though it wasn't much, it was still better than just getting the minimum.

Chu Ge had no objections, and the two quickened their pace.

An hour later.

The night had turned completely dark.

They suddenly stopped on a hillside.

Chu Ge's expression turned icy cold, his face twisted fiercely, emitting a horrifying growl.

Gu Tianjiao was silent.

Following their gaze, in front of them on the snowy ground lay seven human corpses.

It was a ghastly sight; some were decapitated, others mangled, it was hard to imagine what they had gone through.

"They're from the Adventure Team."

Gu Tianjiao said softly, her mood heavy.

They had encountered another survivor who butchered humans!
