Survival Arena

```

Boom—

Thunderclouds churned, and the rumble of thunder on the horizon foretold another torrential downpour tonight.

Chu Ge sprinted at full speed, like a blazing flame streaking down the road.

The North American Wolf King was hot on his heels, no more than thirty meters behind.

The prolonged sprint had left Chu Ge somewhat physically exhausted.

Now, he could only see out of one eye, and his body was covered in many wounds that were further aggravated and split open as he ran.

He felt pain all over his body.

"Looks like I'll have to exchange for some self-healing abilities in the future,"

Chu Ge thought through gritted teeth; the worsening of his injuries was also affecting his speed.

In the wild, many animals have self-healing capabilities that surpass humans.

For example, geckos, salamanders, starfish, and so on.

In the Survival Arena, these related genetic abilities could be upgraded, but they were beyond Chu Ge's means to exchange for.

The North American Wolf King was in fierce pursuit, its eyes cold and relentless, silent as the grave.

In its view, Chu Ge was already dead!

The death of the leopard did not drive it to lose its senses.

On the contrary, it was now at its most powerful!

It could kill wantonly!

The more enemies it killed, the more it could disregard the loss of the Great King.

A street appeared ahead, lined with many parked vehicles.

The rescue and pursuit teams of Bali Island were resting there, spread out on both sides of the street, eating boxed meals.

Chu Ge, ablaze with raging flames, suddenly ran past them.

Everyone was stunned.

Before they could react, the North American Wolf King, too, sped past in front of them.

Whoosh—

They immediately rose to their feet and drew their guns, firing at Chu Ge and the North American Wolf King.

Sunset Gunplay appeared!

More than twenty people fired at once, but only a few bullets hit the North American Wolf King, inflicting no damage whatsoever.

As for Chu Ge, he was too fast and too far from them, making it impossible for their bullets to hit him.

"Everyone, chase after them!"

The pursuit team leader roared, his voice trembling.

What had he seen?

A beast ablaze with scorching flames!

My God!

Was this world some kind of fantasy realm?

The other pursuit team members were equally terrified, but with sheer numbers and a duty to uphold, they had to chase on!

Chu Ge heard the sirens behind him and pondered his next move.

With his current condition, it was impossible to shake off the vehicles.

He wanted to use the humans to get rid of the North American Wolf King.

The North American Wolf King knew what he was planning but didn't care.

It began to accelerate, closing in on Chu Ge.

At this rate, in less than half a minute, Chu Ge would be tackled down.

Chu Ge looked ahead.

The mountain road was rugged, one side lined with continuous mountains and the other with the boundless ocean.

What to do?

If the North American Wolf King caught him, he would undoubtedly be killed.

Even at his peak, he was not necessarily capable of defeating the North American Wolf King, let alone now.

He couldn't die and let it off easy!

Chu Ge clenched his teeth and suddenly ran towards the coastal line.

The North American Wolf King's pupils shrank, instantly understanding his intention.

It howled in fury and sped up like mad.

Twenty meters!

Fifteen meters!

Ten meters!

The distance between them narrowed visibly.

Chu Ge leapt over the guardrail at the edge of the highway and jumped off the cliff.

Below was the ocean; normal people would certainly crash to death on the rocks, but with Chu Ge's speed and the distance he could leap, he dived toward the water.

The North American Wolf King stopped and cursed, "I'll remember you!"

In its eyes, Chu Ge's actions were even more detestable than the killing of its own Great King!

```

Splash!

Chu Ge plunged into the sea.

The North American Wolf King wanted to wait, but the sound of the pursuing team's vehicle sirens forced it to leave with a clenched jaw.

Meanwhile.

In the sea.

Chu Ge had already passed out.

He was already severely injured, and jumping into the ocean from a height of tens of meters, surviving was already fortunate.

His blood dispersed into the water, his body undulating with the waves.

Awaiting him was not only death but also being torn apart by marine predators.

A terrifying black shadow rapidly approached from the seabed and bit into him.

…

In endless darkness.

Chu Ge's consciousness gradually returned.

"You have been hunted by Survivor [Xiao E], Survival Competition over!"

"Please wait patiently for the settlement of this Survival Competition!"

Chu Ge opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was the bright Team Cultivation Hall.

His feelings were complicated.

I was eliminated?

Chu Ge drifted into a daze.

This was the first time he was eliminated by a Survivor, which left him with complex emotions.

Come to think of it, it made sense, having gone through so many Survival Competitions, it was not always possible to have smooth sailing.

He sighed.

"Damn! Boss! You were eliminated too?"

Ye Wukong's shocked voice came through as he dashed from the distant track at high speed.

Not far away, the Local Snake also desperately crawled over.

When they reached him, Chu Ge helplessly said, "I encountered a tough nut, was forced to jump into the sea, and then got picked off by another Survivor."

Xiao E!

Good!

I'll remember you!

"It's over… We're going to lose big time this time! We might lose 2200 Survival Points…" Ye Wukong collapsed on the ground, wailing.

The Local Snake remained silent.

Chu Ge looked at it and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything? This isn't like you."

Ye Wukong immediately answered for the Local Snake: "It was eaten by a hermit crab, deeply traumatized, and hasn't recovered yet."

Upon hearing this, the Local Snake trembled all over.

Chu Ge shook his head and smiled, "Don't be discouraged. I think Earthworms have a lot of potential. Just keep enduring, exchange for a high-level growth gene, use a Survival Entity Experience Scroll, and grow into a massive creature, then won't you soar to the skies?"

At these words, the Local Snake looked up excitedly.

"Yeah! That was my plan before, but can I really do it?" asked the Local Snake anxiously.

"You can't." Ye Wukong interjected bluntly.

Chu Ge glared at him and comforted the Local Snake, "Anything is possible."

Afterward, he turned and walked away.

He needed to rest and calm down.

The Local Snake regained its vigor and began to bicker with Ye Wukong.

…

Back to reality, it was now night.

Chu Ge felt it would be inappropriate to suddenly appear at home and desired to vent.

So he grabbed his phone and wallet, slipped out the window, and headed for the internet cafe to play games.

He walked down the community's pedestrian path, hands in his pockets, looking a bit downcast.

"Hey, loser, what's the matter with you?"

A familiar female voice came, and Chu Ge turned to look.

He saw a Black Cat on the high wall alongside him.

He froze, exclaiming in astonishment, "You again! Are you always watching me?"

His entry into the Survival Arena was thanks to this Black Cat, and he had wanted to clear things up but couldn't find it.

The Black Cat stopped and licked its paw, lazily saying, "Watching you? You flatter yourself. You're not my only experiment; I just happened to see you. What's wrong? Failed in the Survival Competition? So weak, you're an embarrassment to me."

At that, Chu Ge became irate.

Already upset, the last thing he needed was the Black Cat's mockery. Could he tolerate that?

Just as he was about to explode with curses, the Black Cat went on, "Tell me about it, I might be able to help you. You're like a son to me, though a failed one."

Chu Ge felt a pain in his chest at these words. What kind of thing was that to say?

Who would want to be your son!
