Survival Arena-Chapter 457 - : Preparing Salted Fish

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Preparing Salted Fish

After failing to secure the base, Chu Ge and the others ran for an hour or two before stopping.

They began to rest.

Chu Ge lay on the grass and asked, “How many Survival Points did you guys get?”

The fearsome performance of the One-Eyed Black Bear suddenly made him alert.

He couldn’t be too reckless.

If they were to fail, it would be bad.

...

After all, the sea, land, and air battle was imminent.

He had to give his teammates another chance to grow stronger.

Everyone started to tally their Survival Points.

“I’ve got a little over five thousand.”

“I should have 8700!”

“Impressive, but sorry, I’ve already got 10500!”

“I only have around six to six thousand five hundred.”

“I have 8100 points.”

People started to exchange information.

Even the person with the least had 2500 Survival Points, um, that was Local Snake, who picked up the extra points for the team.

Apart from him, everyone else had at least five thousand more Survival Points.

All in all, the team’s gain was quite good.

If they ended it there, it would be fine.

Chu Ge pondered, “Let’s aim for a team elimination next; the bases are just too dangerous.”

Arno wanted to say something but stopped himself.

The others, however, had no objections.

“Being alive is what truly matters,” General Lie Hao said with a chuckle.

Gu Tianjiao laughed, “There’s still time; we can earn quite a few Survival Points by guerrilla fighting the enemy.”

Chi Lian nodded, “Team development really involves strategy. Don’t look at how smooth sailing it has been so far; a single loss could potentially lead to a losing streak. The metaphysics of it is hard to explain. There have already been too many lessons from the past. Last year, a team in the top ten fell down the ranks and got eliminated, ending up as animals in a zoo.”

There is an iron rule in the Survival Arena.

No matter your star rating, if your points are deducted and you have none left, you will be completely eliminated!

Some Survival Competitions might deduct thousands or even more points.

This is gambling with your life!

Xiao Poor Thing laughed, “Arno seems not to agree; when the time comes, let’s not rescue him.”

Arno heard this and became anxious, swearing, “Damn Ri Tian, who says I disagree? I agree!”

Though he was rash, it didn’t mean he wanted to die.

The group started to joke around, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

Once they made up their minds, everyone felt relaxed and stress-free.

Chu Ge included.

No wonder so many people want to be slackers.

Being a slacker feels good for the moment.

Soon, night fell once again.

Chu Ge led the team to find a suitable hiding place.

It was still the highest place on the island, where a large tree could cover their heads and prevent them from being seen by birds.

An Xiuluo and Xiao Hero, as usual, stayed on the tree trunk.

Chu Ge and the others lay down and rested individually.

This night was noisier than previous ones.

Strange roars could be heard from all directions, and the screams of Survivors could faintly be heard as well.

Chu Ge could not fall asleep, and neither could the others.

“Everyone, keep watch in your direction, and be ready to retreat at any moment,” Chu Ge instructed solemnly.

Could it be that those monsters were about to make their move?

It was always like this in these otherworldly competitions; the further you went, the more dangerous it became, probably to prevent Survivors from slacking off.

“Oh boy, there couldn’t be a hidden quest, could there? Like the one we had at the Bottom of the Pacific Ocean,” Xiao Poor Thing muttered.

Local Snake exclaimed, “What’s there to be afraid of? Even if you all die, I can still survive to the end. Don’t worry; we have at least the base points!”

He laughed smugly, but his voice was too soft, and nobody paid attention to him.

Everyone heard him; they just found him unpleasant to talk to, so they didn’t bother responding.

Time continued to pass.

Everyone kept quiet to avoid alerting any potential threats.

With a blink of an eye.

Three hours had passed.

Chu Ge and the others still weren’t tired, remaining vigilant.

“Something is approaching.”

Xiao Poor Thing suddenly said, her eyes had a thermal sensing ability, in the darkness, she could more easily detect enemies.

Chu Ge didn’t turn around, still keeping watch in his own direction.

The others did the same, only Gu Tianjiao and Arno, who were to Xiao Poor Thing’s left and right, looked in that direction.

Down the slope, a few dozen meters away, a clump of bushes shook slightly, clearly hiding something.

“Is that thing big?” Arno asked quietly.

Xiao Poor Thing replied, “About the same size as the boss.”

This statement made everyone tense up.

Chu Ge’s frame wasn’t small; if seen by a regular person, they’d surely think he was a mutant monster.

Here it comes!

The monster from the Mysterious Islands!

“Should we kill it? To prevent it from attracting other monsters,” General Lie Hao asked in a low voice.

Chu Ge thought for a moment and said, “Daddy’s Silhouette, Chi Lian, Arno, go down and handle it, and be quick!”

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately took action.

Chu Ge didn’t look back, still staring in the direction before him.

Down below, it was pitch black, with no wild beasts in sight for the moment.

It seemed that there was only that one monster.

Soon, the roar of the beast came from behind.

In less than half a minute, the roar stopped abruptly.

Arno and the two others returned.

“Damn, that beast stank, I nearly threw up just from it opening its mouth,” Daddy’s Silhouette cursed.

Arno responded, “It wasn’t the smell of blood that stank; it really was bad breath, as if it had been eating garlic, stinky tofu, and expired rotten fish tins for seven days without rinsing its mouth.”

Everyone felt disgusted upon hearing this.

Such a vivid description!

“Should we change our position?” Xiao Poor Thing asked.

She had already caught whiff of the dreadful smell; maybe other monsters could smell it too.

Chu Ge stood up and said, “Then let’s go, heading in the direction with fewer sounds.”

The others got up and left together.

After leaving the woods, they entered the next island.

The Mysterious Islands seemed to have no end; there were connecting strips between each island.

Chu Ge felt it was likely that the Mysterious Islands formed a circle; otherwise, if there truly were no ends on either side, it would be difficult for the Survivors to gather together for a fight.

Arno and Daddy’s Silhouette brought up the rear; Local Snake popped out from General Lie Hao’s shoulder, eyes looking towards the back of the group, ready to relay any news at any time.

An Xiuluo was swaying through the air as he moved forward, muttering, “Could there be flying monsters?”

Xiao Hero said irritably, “Don’t jinx it, if that happens you’ll be the first to go.”

“There’s the smell of blood ahead!”

Gu Tianjiao suddenly spoke up; she was following behind Chu Ge and could pick up on scents ahead first.

Everyone stopped.

Xiao Poor Thing and Chi Lian on either side also sniffed the air.

The forest here wasn’t very dense, but it was shrouded in mist, and visibility wasn’t very clear.

“There’s a fight ahead.”

Xiao Hero’s voice came through.

Chu Ge adjusted his posture, squinting to look ahead.

He faintly saw a large animal twisting wildly under a tree as if it were entangled by something, trying to shake it off.

“There’s a ghost!”

A scream of terror came from the left.

This alarmed everyone.

Sounds of rustling from all around stirred up the tension in the air.

Not good!

They were surrounded!

“Follow me!”

Xiao Hero said as he spread his wings and flew in one direction.

The others immediately followed suit.
