Survival Arena

He had only been talking tough earlier, pretending not to be afraid of death.

When Chu Ge said he wouldn\'t kill him, Arno felt elated.

But as soon as he refused, the guy bit down on his neck, too vicious!

"Hmm, if I can\'t bite him to death, I\'ll suffocate him,"

Gu Tianjiao squatted nearby, saying with a smirk.

Arno fell silent.

Chu Ge began to exert pressure. Even if he couldn\'t bite through Arno\'s skin and flesh, he aimed to squeeze his windpipe.

Arno was already gravely injured, his innards crushed beyond recognition. Once he felt the suffocation, he started coughing, and the blood wouldn\'t stop flowing out of his mouth.

In the dimly lit classroom, only the sounds of Arno\'s coughing and gasping could be heard.

The Golden Eagle circled outside the window, looking at Chu Ge biting Arno with an expression cold as ice.

"You dog! You\'re actually stealing my kill!"

His heart seethed with irritation, but he didn\'t dare to charge in directly.

If he engaged in combat on the ground, he definitely couldn\'t beat the Lion, not to mention there was also a Lynx by his side.

After circling for a while, he left with a heart full of resentment.

Suddenly, Chu Ge loosened his grip, and Arno could breathe, gasping for air like a drowning person surfacing.

Before he could feel relief, Chu Ge bit his neck again.

God damn it!

Arno cursed inwardly, fury rushing to his crown.

At the same time, he also felt despairing.

He was about to die such a humiliating death.

Gu Tianjiao yawned and said, "Dude, just compromise. What\'s wrong with joining us? He\'s a Lion; serving under him isn\'t humiliating. And he\'s only been through three Survival tasks. You can imagine how strong he\'ll be later on without me saying."

Arno\'s eyes flickered, still refusing to give in.

Soon, he started coughing again.

His severe injuries coupled with suffocation almost made him pass out.

"You\'re not right in the head. This is the Survival Arena, not a game. You can\'t keep being willful forever. Isn\'t it better to have a bit more hope to Survive?"

Gu Tianjiao continued, her tone lazy, looking very sleepy.

Arno\'s mental defenses were taking a beating.

Death was creeping closer to him.

All of a sudden, he gnashed his teeth in a struggle, and Chu Ge relaxed his hold.

"If I join your Survival Team, what do I have to sacrifice? I won\'t become your lackey, right?" Arno asked, coughing.

Chu Ge smiled and said, "It\'s a long way off before I create a Survival Team. For this task, let\'s cooperate first. When you join my Survival Team later, I won\'t force you to do anything you don\'t like. With your ability, charging headlong is the most effective."

Arno\'s eyes widened as he cursed, "I knew it; I was still wondering how you earned ten thousand Survival Points. You wanted to woo me in advance, fine, I agree!"

What if Chu Ge died in the subsequent tasks?

There was no harm in agreeing now.

Chu Ge smiled with satisfaction and said, "You hide here; we\'ll go hunting."

After speaking, he exchanged a glance with Gu Tianjiao, and the two Big Cats swiftly left.

Arno breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Chu Ge would insist on taking him along.

With his grave injuries, he wasn\'t fit to be on the move; lying down wasn\'t so bad.

"Hopefully I can make it until the end of the task."

He sighed, feeling extremely despondent.

Originally, he was one of the top Predators in this crazy hunt, but now he was lying here like a corpse.

He had come to despise that Golden Eagle.

"I\'ve already noted down your name, don\'t let me run into you again!"

...

Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao walked up the stairs of the academic building.

"Instead of waiting for this empty promise, it would\'ve been better to kill him. With so many Survival Points, can you really afford to let him go?" Gu Tianjiao whispered, her tone laced with resentment.

Chu Ge said indifferently, "Seeing how rash he is, he\'ll probably keep his word. Consider it a gamble. I won\'t be at a loss either way."

This matter couldn\'t be forced directly, and he was prepared to be stood up.

Gu Tianjiao chuckled, "How long will it take you to create a Survival Team? I wonder if I\'ll still be alive to see you form it."

In the Survival Arena, no one could predict their own fate.

Look at Arno, so confident, and yet he ended up crippled and out of the game early.

"Hope both you and I survive."

Chu Ge responded, death being a persistent thought in his mind. Not speaking of it didn\'t mean he wasn\'t thinking about it.

He just felt speaking too much about it was bad luck.

He turned his head to look at Gu Tianjiao seriously, "You\'re so sly, you\'re bound to survive. Wait till I pull you into my team."

Gu Tianjiao laughed heartily, "You\'re so cunning; you\'ll survive too. I\'ll wait for you."

"Do you really enjoy bickering with me that much now? Remember the way you spoke to me with respect the first time we met?"

"Back then, you weren\'t that annoying either."

"That you\'ve survived until now is truly a miracle."

"Same goes for you."

The two of them started bickering again and, as they did, they left the academic building.

They remained vigilant all around them, fearful that the Golden Eagle might swoop down on them.

Now, the Golden Eagle had become their most cautious enemy.

That night, they weren\'t successful in hunting.

Other Survivors had gone into hiding, and Gu Tianjiao\'s sense of smell couldn\'t accurately track them down.

Those who had survived until now were smart, and within Xuanjiang University, there were many ways to erase or cover up their scent.

Dawn arrived.

It was also the last day of the frenzied hunt.

With the arrival of daylight, the hunt at Xuanjiang University continued.

Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao hid in a large tree, surrounded by a dense forest. It was difficult for them to be discovered here.

"We\'re pretty stable now. It\'s just a matter of deciding whether or not to gamble for more Survival Points tonight," Gu Tianjiao whispered, her gaze drifting into the distance.

On the school lane outside the forest, there were numerous figures of police officers, firefighters, and volunteers.

To catch a few animals, they wouldn\'t mobilize the entire city\'s police force; hence, they had called upon numerous volunteers, all of whom were adult men.

Chu Ge nodded. His fight with the Black Blind had left him disfigured, and though he no longer felt pain, he wasn\'t quite in the same condition as at the start.

His vision had been affected, everything looked somewhat blurry, similar to being short-sighted.

He was hesitant about continuing to take risks.

"Woof, woof, woof—"

Suddenly, a dog\'s barking was heard from afar. Gu Tianjiao stood up, squinting into the distance.

Her complexion changed dramatically as she spoke softly, "Not good! Humans are coming with tracker dogs!"

Chu Ge was also alarmed. He turned his head to look, but the leaves obstructed his view and prevented him from clearly seeing the situation outside the forest.

"We must leave here. If we\'re discovered, tranquilizer guns will be waiting for us," Gu Tianjiao whispered. After speaking, she was the first to leap down.

Chu Ge followed closely behind, and they both dashed at full speed in another direction.

By the following morning, the names on the kill board had dwindled significantly.

Survivors were fighting everywhere, leaving behind plenty of hair and bloodstains, easy to collect as samples for the tracker dogs to follow.

Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao kept switching positions as well.
