Survival Arena

After the stilt-legged spider was chased away, Tang Xuejia calmed down, and her parents comforted her with a few words before closing the door and leaving.

Yet the girl was still very scared and kept holding the British Shorthair cat.

That night, she dared not turn off the lights, wrapping her body with a blanket, occasionally glancing at every corner of the room as if there were ghosts lurking about.

Chu Ge, on the other hand, was amused, relaxed his body, and revealed the form of an ant.

The centipede was dead, the stilt-legged spider had fled.

His chances of survival had increased significantly!

There you go, he saw the Red Ant crawl out of the wardrobe and head towards the area with the paper shavings where he was.

The Red Ant was very small, and Tang Xuejia couldn't see it at all.

Not long after, the Red Ant arrived near Chu Ge.

He cursed under his breath, "That Rat Woman is too strong, she's definitely been through more than five survival competitions, is it worth it for a thousand Survival Points? Is it fun to wreak havoc in Newbie Village?"

"He's been enhanced all over, as hard as an iron ball!"

Chu Ge had an epiphany, no wonder that guy could fight the centipede and three cockroaches alone, he indeed had an indestructible body.

He laughed and said, "Are we safe now?"

As long as this continued, he would be able to pass without injury, and receive the hidden reward.

The Red Ant nodded and said, "Only that Rat Woman has some combat power, the rest are newbies, we should be able to get through the night safely."

Having said that, he suddenly became envious.

This kid doesn't seem to be hurt at all!

Damn it!

The Red Ant was overwhelmed with grief and anger and wanted to push Chu Ge down, but remembering that the kid had saved him, he could only hold back.

"Ah, I spent such a great cost to buy the Initial Trial Scroll, only to end up... ugh! I admit my bad luck," said the Red Ant resentfully.

Chu Ge comforted, "Surviving is what matters most."

The Red Ant could only think that way, and sighed, "Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Gao Fei, my Survival Entity is a parrot, and from now on, we are brothers in adversity. If one day I find a good path and get recruited by a Survival Team, I'll definitely take you with me."

Survival Entity?

Survival Team?

Chu Ge was confused and quickly asked what he meant.

Gao Fei patiently explained, as he saw it, Chu Ge would surely soar high after passing without any injury, as a thousand Survival Points during the rookie period could change one's fate.

"After passing a Survival Trial, each person will awaken a Survival Entity, which is generally selected at random, though some Survivors are chosen by other Survivors to participate and will inherit the biological branch of the other. That case is rare, though."

"Subsequent survival competitions are conducted with your Survival Entity. If you encounter creatures like lions, tigers, king cobras, forest pythons, or elephants, it's an absolute nightmare."

"Survival Teams are a feature of the Survival Arena. Survivors can spend ten thousand Survival Points to form a Survival Team. After a few survival competitions, the leader can recruit members. Within the Survival Team, all are companions you can entrust your life to, so the thresholds of various Survival Teams are very strict. Once you join a Survival Team, the chances of survival are even greater."

After hearing Gao Fei's introduction, Chu Ge became more interested in the Survival Arena.

Gao Fei seemed to want to open up to him, revealing information that he had not disclosed before.

"The survival challenge task occurs once a month. Survivors can freely enter and leave the Survival Arena, but you cannot talk about any information related to the Survival Arena in reality. Once you disclose it, you'll vanish from the face of the earth."

"The Survival Entity is extremely important, bigger is not always better. You also have to consider the growth cycle. The growth time of a Survival Entity is linked to the real world. For instance, if your awakened Survival Entity is a tiger cub, to grow into an adult tiger, how many survival competitions must you go through?"

Gao Fei continues to introduce Chu Ge to the situation in the Survival Arena.

Chu Ge couldn't help saying, "Even a tiger cub isn't bad, at least it's stronger than a British Shorthair."

"Er... you have a point, cough..."

Gao Fei choked on Chu Ge's words and said righteously, "Newbie, don't think too much. To select a lion or tiger right from the start requires incredible luck. Do you know how many tens of thousands of Survival Points the bloodline of these creatures is worth? Don't dream impossible dreams!"

Chu Ge kept silent, understanding this truth.

The Survival Entity is basic, while Survival Skills are enhancements.

How strong would a tiger with the strength of an elephant be?

"Also, lions, tigers, and elephants aren't the top Survival Entities. Do you know of any other more freakish Survival Entities?"

Gao Fei opened up and became more and more excited as he spoke.

Chu Ge asked curiously, "Giant Python? Killer Whale? Great White Shark? Blue Whale?"

Gao Fei shook his head, making Chu Ge sit up straight.

Could it be...

His breathing began to quicken.

"That's right, Dinosaurs! But those are just legends, I can't touch that yet, don't know if it's true. Just think, if you took the Tyrannosaurus Rex as your entity and purchased those survival skills, after returning to reality, everyone would be a superhero, who could stop them?" Gao Fei said excitedly, his ant body trembling along.

Chu Ge took a deep breath and asked, "Survival Skills can be taken back to reality?"

His current Survival Skill was Body Color Change.

Was he going to become a Color-Changing Superhuman?

Pah!

What a silly name that would be.

"That's right, but Survivors don't dare to mess around. If things get too big, even the strongest Survival Skills will be suppressed."

Gao Fei nodded and then added with emphasis, "Brother, when you go back you mustn't do bad things. I've figured it out, this Survival Arena is definitely a test from the heavens, otherwise why would there be a setting for Virtue Points? No good comes from evil deeds!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Wow, I didn't expect Brother Gao Fei to have such righteous principles."

"Of course!" Gao Fei replied with a proud smile.

The two chatted merrily on the pile of paper scraps.

Gradually, Tang Xuejia too fell into a deep sleep.

In the wee hours, with a British Shorthair Cat standing watch, the other Survivors didn't dare to make a move.

However, Chu Ge and Gao Fei didn't dare to sleep. For young people, staying up all night wasn't a big deal.

The night passed.

Morning came.

Chu Ge suddenly felt a bit drowsy. At that moment, the previous cold female voice rang in his ear:

"As more than half of the Survivors have died, the Survival Trial is ending early!"

Chu Ge was stunned. Ending early?

Gao Fei next to him was also taken aback. He sighed and said, "Brother Chu Ge, let's keep in touch often. Remember my cell number, 718xxx74741."

Before Chu Ge had a chance to respond, everything went dark, and he felt the world spinning around him.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the small white room.

He didn't feel joy but instead breathed a sigh of relief and then collapsed onto the sofa.

"Finally back..."

Chu Ge showed a faint smile. At that moment, a light screen appeared in front of him:

You have successfully completed the Survival Trial and earned 100 Survival Points.

As you did not sustain any injuries during the Survival Trial, you earn an additional 1000 Survival Points.

Your total is now 1100 Survival Points.

The Survivor's Attribute Panel is now open.
