Survival Arena-Chapter 459 - : Fire Driving the Beasts Away

Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Fire Driving the Beasts Away

Late at night.

Chu Ge and the others were still lying low in the bushes, waiting in silence.

Every hour, there were usually one or two announcements of teams being annihilated.

The only thing they were thankful for was that danger had not come knocking at their door.

But they could not relax.

“Why do I feel like danger is getting closer?” Arno muttered, his voice low, but everyone could hear.

...

Chu Ge whispered, “Be careful, I also feel something’s off.”

He faintly heard a sound, very weak, like the wind moving through the leaves.

Xiao Hero and An Xiuluo in the tree became alert as well.

After several days of rest, An Xiuluo had recovered, just not as fast as when at his peak.

Gu Tianjiao suddenly straightened her forelimbs, looking up in one direction.

The others heard the sound too.

Something was approaching!

The formation did not change, only Gu Tianjiao, Daddy’s Silhouette, and Xiao Poor Thing facing that direction were ready to fight.

Soon, a creature resembling a sloth burst out, large as a calf and far quicker than any sloth.

Daddy’s Silhouette swiftly stood up and threw a punch.

Bang!

The sloth-like monster was smashed onto the grass, and Gu Tianjiao quickly rushed over to bite it, followed by Xiao Poor Thing.

But the creature did not die immediately; instead, it struggled to its feet and pounced on Daddy’s Silhouette.

Daddy’s Silhouette turned around smoothly, pinning it underneath.

Chu Ge said, “Hurry up.”

Upon hearing this, Daddy’s Silhouette immediately gripped the sloth monster’s neck, attempting to strangle it.

It took a while before the creature finally died.

Daddy’s Silhouette asked in frustration, “Why aren’t there any Survival Points?”

Xiao Poor Thing responded with a smug smile, “I got them, just 100 points.”

Hearing this, Daddy’s Silhouette was instantly downcast.

“Should we change spots?” Arno looked at Chu Ge and asked.

Ever since the heart incident, this guy had been more cautious than anyone.

Chu Ge mused, “Let’s stay put for now, moving might be even more dangerous at this moment.”

Not all monsters are likely to be social.

Other islands probably have monsters too.

Chu Ge turned and instructed, “Everyone be on alert, watch out for monsters that might change color, and other survivors!”

“Understood.”

The group responded softly.

They continued to lie in wait.

At night, there were more monsters, and they had to be careful.

Gradually, they could hear the roaring sounds coming from the neighboring island.

The monsters were getting closer.

Everyone became more uneasy.

Gu Tianjiao suddenly suggested, “How about we create a ring of fire to keep the monsters at bay?”

Chu Ge could start a fire anytime, just like how the previous group of strange turtles was afraid of fire.

Maybe fire could fend off other monsters too.

Chu Ge hesitated, aware that doing so would surely attract a large number of monsters.

Yet, if a horde of monsters were to attack and surround them, it would be difficult to resort to fire then.

This forest could easily ignite, and though Chu Ge was not afraid of fire, the others were, and if his teammates were to burn to death, the fault would be enormous.

Chu Ge looked at the others and asked, “What do you think?”

Everyone exchanged glances with hesitant expressions.

Either choice came with risks.

“Let’s try it, I always feel that waiting here is more dangerous.”

“Definitely, as time goes on, the Mysterious Islands pose a greater threat, and that means more monsters!”

“Then let’s use fire, and if the worst comes to the worst, we’ll die!”

“Indeed, fire can at least bring us a sense of safety.”

Seeing that almost everyone agreed to use fire, Chu Ge immediately made the decision, instructing everyone to start collecting firewood and head to the beach.

They definitely couldn’t start a fire in the woods; it had to be done on the bare sand of the beach.

Everyone began to act.

Chu Ge didn’t let down his guard, advising everyone not to scatter while collecting firewood, lest a monster had already lurked nearby.

After ten minutes, they had piled up a ring of trees on the beach, with a diameter of five meters and a height of one and a half meters, enough to burn for a whole day and night.

Chu Ge quickly lit the Raging Flame Separation Fire, starting to walk around the ring of trees, while the others calmly waited inside the circle.

As the flame sprang to life, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Haha, fire indeed brings the greatest sense of security to humans,” General Lie Hao laughed.

The others followed with smiles on their faces.

The fire spread gradually, illuminating the beach.

The flames grew higher, with the tallest part exceeding three meters, and the thick smoke obscured the moon.

Just then!

A group of strange creatures suddenly charged out of the forest and quickly surrounded the ring of fire.

Chu Ge focused his gaze and saw that these creatures were the Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers they had encountered before.

There were probably more than thirty Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers, howling non-stop at Chu Ge and the others.

One of the Saber-toothed Tigers suddenly leapt in from where the fire was lowest.

Chu Ge immediately pounced on it, pinning it down on the beach, tearing furiously.

Another Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger tried to jump in, but Daddy’s Silhouette rushed over at once, palming it back.

As the flames rose again, the creatures were scared to rush in anymore.

“It looks like they really are afraid of the fire,” Xiao Poor Thing exclaimed excitedly.

Had they not lit the fire and been surrounded by so many Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers in the forest, it would have been unthinkable.

Chu Ge also heaved a sigh of relief.

It was too close for comfort!

If he had made his decision a bit later, they might already be in the midst of a fierce battle.

“Roar—”

“Roar roar!”

The Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers kept roaring, their pairs of blood-red eyes looking incredibly hungry.

Chu Ge quickly burned the Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger beneath him to death.

“You have successfully hunted an enemy, gaining 100 Survival Points!”

It really was 100 Survival Points.

It seemed that the contribution value of wild beasts wasn’t high.

If killing wild beasts could explode with lots of points, then the Survival Competition would lose its meaning.

The strength of the Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers wasn’t weak; ordinary Four Stars Survivors might not be able to win against them alone, and to work so hard for only 100 Survival Points, how disheartening would that be?

“Everyone, be careful, back to back!”

Chu Ge instructed, fearing that Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers might jump in again.

He noticed movement in the woods, indicating other Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers or possibly other types of creatures.

The others noticed this as well, becoming even more tense.

“This really is hell!”

Local Snake exclaimed, its voice trembling.

It might be small, but it was also afraid of being trampled to death.

The monsters circling around the ring of fire grew in number, including the Spiders they had encountered before as well as the strange turtles crawling out of the sea.

Time ticked away, second by second.

After about half an hour, the creatures gradually left.

Xiao Poor Thing let out a breath, sweating profusely, gritting his teeth, “Aren’t we going to suffocate to death?”

The thick smoke clouded the air, potentially causing poor circulation within the ring of fire, which would be the end of them.

Xiao Hero and An Xiuluo immediately flew up, flapping their wings above the heads of Chu Ge and the others, dispersing the thick smoke.

As the fire was already ablaze, their wings couldn’t possibly extinguish it, so they could safely clear the smoke away.

Chu Ge suddenly turned his attention to the neighboring island.

He noticed a large area of trees shaking violently, as if hiding some enormous creature.
