Chapter 131: Pain! An Unprecedented Pain!
Showing off like this?
Chu Ge and his four teammates were intimidated by the arrogance of the Silverback Gorilla.
Looking at the Silverback Gorilla's muscular body, they all sensed danger.
"Attack?"
Ye Wukong gave Nangong a look and asked softly.
Nangong hesitated.
"Run!"
Chu Ge suddenly shouted and turned to flee.
The others immediately followed him.
The Silverback Gorilla, furious, charged down the mountain, running on all fours and kicking up snow in its wake.
"With so many of us, shouldn't we be able to beat it?"
Ye Wukong murmured, annoyed at the gorilla's brashness.
Gu Tianjiao replied, "Don't forget our plan; lead it on a chase first, in case it has teammates hiding nearby."
Hearing this, Ye Wukong snapped back to his senses.
He cursed himself for his stupidity, having forgotten the plan.
In the distance,
the Hippopotamus, Polar Bear, and other Survivors were still crouched under trees, watching from afar.

"Now then, shall we strike?"
The Australian Wild Dog asked, while the Cheetah next to it had already stood up, ready to dash out at any moment.
The African Lioness said lazily, "What's the hurry? It's only the first day, isn't it better to fatten up the pig first?"
The Cheetah frowned, but dared not say more, and lay down again.
On the vast snowy plains, the Silverback Gorilla chased the five Suicidal ones—a rather spectacular sight.
"It has no teammates!"
Gu Tianjiao said sternly, her eyes flashing fiercely.
Chu Ge hit the brakes, kicking up snowflakes, sliding several meters before immediately turning back to charge.
Gu Tianjiao also turned around to join him, followed by Xiao Poor Thing.
Nangong and Ye Wukong were slightly slower to react, but they quickly changed direction too.
The Silverback Gorilla paused for a moment when it saw them charging back.
But it didn't stop, continuing its unstoppable rush towards Chu Ge and the others.
As Chu Ge sprinted, his momentum was no less imposing than the gorilla's, his muscles tense on all limbs, exuding a sense of powerful beauty.
Chu Ge burst forth at full Speed, quickly creating distance from Gu Tianjiao and the others.
"So fast!"
The Silverback Gorilla's eyes widened, and before it could react, Chu Ge, with momentum from his sprint, tackled it.
Chu Ge entered a Geothermal state, his body visibly reddening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Silverback Gorilla struggled with all its might, grabbing Chu Ge's lion head to push him away, but it felt Chu Ge's head rapidly heating up—so much that the gorilla quickly retracted its hands.
"How can you..."
The Silverback Gorilla cried out in shock, its voice trembling.
If this had been just a physical fight, it was confident it could kill Chu Ge.
But how could this guy's body...
What kind of freakish power was this?
Was it a Superpower?
The Silverback Gorilla, scorched by the heat, rolled on the ground while Chu Ge struggled to hold it down, trying to burn the large creature with his body.
Gu Tianjiao, Nangong, Ye Wukong, and Xiao Poor Thing quickly surrounded them to prevent the Silverback Gorilla from escaping.
Their eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of Chu Ge, who resembled a molten lava lion, shaking them to their core.
"What kind of Survival Talent is this..."
Nangong muttered, his eyes filled with admiration.
Chu Ge was enveloped in steam, like a Divine Beast.
The Silverback Gorilla could only roll underneath him, soon becoming covered in bloody burns.
"Roar—"
The Silverback Gorilla suddenly roared with rage, its body swelling up as it managed to shove Chu Ge off, preparing to escape.
Ye Wukong flew at it with a kick, landing it on the gorilla's body.
Bang!
The Silverback Gorilla swung its arm, throwing him away and then charging off into the distance.
Gu Tianjiao charged at him and landed on his back, ready to take a bite.
But no sooner had she jumped up than she leaped away.
She landed on the snow, frantically stomping her feet, drenched in sweat.
"So hot..."
She looked back at Chu Ge with a complex gaze, a look of fear on her face.
Just how hot was this guy?
Chu Ge, in a state of geothermal activity, ran like a blaze of fire, a spectacular sight to behold.
His speed was very fast, quickly catching up to the Silverback Gorilla. He pounced on the gorilla's back and bit down hard on the nape of its neck.
This bite, he gave it his all.
However, he couldn't bite through the Silverback Gorilla's neck.
"Is every creature in the Survival Arena tanky?"
Chu Ge cursed internally, because most of the Survivors chose to strengthen their skin and flesh to preserve their lives, which frustrated him.
The Silverback Gorilla didn't stop, suddenly tumbling forward, its body spinning in the process.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Ge ended up beneath it, slamming into the snow on his back, the shock making stars dance before his eyes.
The Silverback Gorilla gasped from the scorching pain; it immediately started rolling forward.
It tumbled along, using the snow to cool itself down.
However.
The most painful moment of a burn injury isn't the burning itself but the searing pain when the temperature suddenly drops.
It screamed miserably while fleeing.
Its speed was tremendous, as if wishing the Survival Arena would bestow it with two more legs.
Chu Ge slowly stood up, shook his head, and chose not to pursue.
This creature was too ferocious.
The fall just now made Chu Ge feel as though all his internal organs had shifted places.
It was very uncomfortable.
He looked up to see the Silverback Gorilla covered in wounds, blood streaming everywhere, a sight of utter misery.
He could only pray that the gorilla would die from the pain subsequently.
If that happened, he would still receive Survival Points.
Gu Tianjiao approached Chu Ge and said mournfully, "What kind of Survival Talent is this? It's too hot, if you hugged someone, wouldn't they be cremated on the spot?"
Nangong, Ye Wukong, and Xiao Poor Thing followed, all looking at Chu Ge with a mix of awe and respect.
The flames on Chu Ge's body had not yet faded, still projecting his valiant and domineering presence.
He quickly deactivated the geothermal state, and his skin visibly returned to normal right before their eyes.
He smiled wryly, "That guy's strength was too great, I almost got knocked out by that fall."
"Boss, you're so powerful! We thought we would have to gang up on him!" Nangong said excitedly, unable to help it as the Silverback Gorilla was truly intimidating when standing upright.
Ye Wukong, limping along, scooped up snow to rub on his feet while asking enviously, "Boss, how did you acquire that Survival Talent?"
He had been curious before, but had not dared to ask.
Chu Ge glanced at him and chuckled, "I snatched it from the jaws of a Mosasaur."
Mosasaur...
Ye Wukong shuddered, scratching his head and laughing awkwardly.
"Aren't we chasing after him? I don't think he can hold on much longer," Xiao Poor Thing asked.
Chu Ge hesitated, "Let's follow at a distance, no need to get too close."
Everyone nodded and walked in the direction where the Silverback Gorilla was fleeing.
At that moment, the Silverback Gorilla's speed had not diminished.
It was close to passing out from pain.
"Water... water..."
It frantically searched for a lake, desperate to cool down the burning pain.
The pain was unbearable
It had never felt such agony before!
It had forgotten about seeking revenge on Chu Ge, now only seeking to escape the torment as quickly as possible.
Running wildly, it leaped over a mountaintop and rolled down the slope, trying to cool itself with the snow.
However, on its way down, hidden sharp rocks within the snow sliced open its charred wounds, and its screams of pain echoed continuously.
On the opposite mountain, a pack of snow wolves was hunting. Upon seeing the Silverback Gorilla, they immediately charged over.
