Survival Arena

Chu Ge lay on the ground, conserving his physical strength.

The Vulture leaned in close to him and said, "Brother, are you a newbie or a veteran? To be able to become a Lion, that's really something."

His tone was filled with envy.

The Lion was a top predator, superior in both image and potential for growth.

"A newbie. Got lucky, woke up and I was a Lion," Chu Ge said nonchalantly.

He feigned arrogance and overconfidence to appear brave but reckless.

The Vulture chuckled and asked, "So, who in your opinion, might be the undercover?"

Idiot!

Thinking you can look down on everything just because you're a Lion?

You haven't even grown up yet, damn it!

Contempt filled the Vulture's heart. The Lion's growth cycle was not short, and with this kid's personality, he was bound to end up as a caged animal in a zoo!

"Who cares who it is? We just need to keep an eye on killing the others," Chu Ge replied, licking his lion's paw with self-assurance.

The Vulture was utterly speechless, shook his head, and walked over to another corner to rest.

Xiao Panda gently patted Chu Ge next to him and whispered, "Big bro, are you really a newbie? I am too. Are you looking for a little brother? I could be your hound."

Hearing this, Chu Ge glanced at him. Xiao Panda was lying on the ground, looking adorably foolish.

The little panda curled up into a ball, looking quite comical.

"You're not an undercover, are you?"

Chu Ge's palms were crossed, his chin resting on his lion's paw as he mockingly smiled.

To Xiao Panda, his posture was the epitome of a big shot's demeanor.

Xiao Panda hehehe'd, "Even if I were undercover, I'd pose no threat, but I'm not. I just want to survive. My survival skill is thickened skin."

Thickened skin?

Chu Ge raised an eyebrow. This guy had some interesting thoughts.

Panda, going the meat shield route, could indeed work. Already tough-skinned, strengthening it further would make him less prone to injury.

The Vulture across from them stared at Xiao Panda with a sharp gaze but said nothing more.

Green Snake and Xiao White Sheep quietly gathered behind Chu Ge as well.

The Vulture felt dangerous to them; even if not undercover, he was certainly not a good guy.

In comparison, Chu Ge was calm and even a bit lethargic. Maybe not a good guy, but at least he wasn't as brutal as the Vulture.

Suddenly, the mood became eerie.

Without a response from Chu Ge, Xiao Panda grew anxious, but the intimidating look from the Vulture scared him from speaking further.

The Crab walked back and forth, seemingly undecided about which side to join.

Xiao Wild Rabbit hid in the grass, not uttering a word.

As for the White Dove, it had yet to learn how to fly and was shivering uncontrollably.

Chu Ge scanned the group, quickly coming to a conclusion.

This survival camp seemed to only have the Vulture as a threat, the other Survivors were easy to take down.

He wondered what his teammates' lineup was like.

It was probably beyond his expectations.

Chu Ge looked back and saw a dense forest, with a Ferris wheel faintly visible.

It seemed this park was not small.

Its size was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Good for hiding and biding time, but if you want to eliminate an enemy, that's difficult.

Chu Ge guessed that most of the Survivors in this set-up were not large in size, as even a Crab was included, perfect for hiding in the bushes.

About an hour passed.

Teddy was the first to run back. She lay on the ground, panting and said, "This park is called Qingmei Park, it's quite big, there are all kinds of recreational facilities inside, and it's surrounded by residential areas. I bet it gets lively at night."

Both Chu Ge and the Vulture's eyes changed at that moment.

Xiao Panda howled, "It's over, there will definitely be lots of people walking their dogs tonight, and if there are stray dogs around here, that would be even worse!"

With their current sizes, they couldn't possibly win against an adult dog, let alone those large breeds.

Upon hearing this, the Survivors all began to panic.

Adults would be afraid when encountering a group of stray dogs, so naturally, they were even more frightened, and it could even be said they were desperate.

"It looks like we can only act after midnight. Where are the companions who left with you?" Vulture pondered.

The Survivors had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Teddy answered, "We're acting separately. I'm not sure where they are; maybe they're undercover or have already escaped."

Vulture stared at her with a sharp gaze, a flicker of displeasure in his eyes.

"There really are a lot of animals in this park, as well as many elderly men and women walking their dogs. It's hard to tell who the Survivors are," Teddy continued with a heavy heart.

The unknown is what people fear the most.

The Survivors began to discuss what kind of creatures the others might be.

Then, the topic shifted to the most terrifying Survivor they had ever seen.

"My Survival Trial took place in a pond, and you know what? Loaches are really scary!"

"Snakes are the scariest, especially poisonous ones."

"Haven't you encountered spiders? Especially wolf spiders."

"Don't we have any poisonous creatures in our camp? This is not good."

"If it really comes down to it, should we just hang on to survive, make it through the twenty-four hours?"

Listening to the Survivors' discussions, Chu Ge fell into deep thought.

He was considering the action that would be most beneficial for himself.

He had Level 3 Survival Skills. If he chose to lay low this time, next time, the gap with his competitors from the same batch would narrow, and he might even be overtaken.

That would put him in danger.

He couldn't lay low!

He must take risks!

It's either his demise or the enemy's.

Deciding this, Chu Ge looked at the Survivors present and then toward Vulture, saying, "Let's take action after all. If we really wait until the latter half of the night, it'll be troublesome. We can act at dusk when there are many people and no stray dogs, making it convenient for us to fight."

"If we choose to hide this time and securely make it through, what about the next time? Only by continuously hunting and becoming stronger can we survive."

"This is the Survival Arena; it's all about survival of the fittest. We can't afford to worry too much."

The law of survival for wild animals is to hunt!

Hearing these words, the Survivors all fell silent.

Vulture looked up at Chu Ge with admiration and said, "That's right, only by constant hunting can we keep on surviving. So here's the plan: I'll scout from the sky, and you can start acting at dusk. Chinese Mitten Crab, be careful not to be eaten by dogs."

River Crab protested, "You can call me River Crab, not Chinese Mitten Crab. I am not food."

However, no one paid attention to him.

They continued to hide, vigilant for anyone approaching.

Time flew swiftly by.

The patrolling Mouse and Xiao Orange Cat had already returned.

The sun set beyond the mountains.

Dusk arrived.

As the sky grew dark, Chu Ge slowly stood up. Using the cover of darkness, he could blend into the crowd and nobody would notice he was a Lion unless they picked him up.

"Let's move out. You all pair up and split into two teams at the end," Vulture whispered. After finishing his sentence, he took to the air with a flap of his wings, quickly disappearing over to the other side of the forest.

Xiao Panda pursed his lips and said, "I think he's the most like an undercover agent, even acting alone. Maybe he's gone to report to someone."

River Crab called out, "If he's an undercover agent, then what's the point for us to play? Would the Survival Arena be that cruel?"

Xiao Panda gave him a disdainful look and retorted, "Naive."
