Survival Arena

Chapter 357: Chapter 357 The Secret of the Amazon Rainforest

“Can humans do it? Is it some evil organization like Evil Owl?”

Xiao Poor Thing widened her eyes, curiously asking.@@novelbin@@

The thought of being transformed into a gene modifier like Ghost Dragon made her nauseous.

The lion-headed, ox-bodied Ghost Dragon was truly hideous.

It didn’t conform to normal aesthetic standards.

“Evil Owl? Yes, roughly speaking, it seems they’re cut from the same cloth.”

Xiao Ming replied casually, his tone neither fearful nor loathing of people like the Evil Owl.

Chu Ge looked at Xiao Ming’s injuries and asked, “How are you?”

“I’m fine, not going to die. For the next part, you guys should just walk along the riverbank, while I’ll lurk in the water, ready to strike at any moment.”

Xiao Ming suggested, with an innocent look in his eyes, despite his frightening appearance.

Chu Ge thought about it and nodded in agreement.

No matter if Xiao Ming wanted to earn points or was genuinely interested in helping them, such a plan was most efficient.

Afterward, Chu Ge lay down on the ground to rest.

Xiao Ming also rested in the water.

Though he had killed Ghost Dragon, the creature’s immense strength had drained him of much of his physical strength.

Arno mumbled, “Should I exchange for the growth ability of a large creature?”

Having arrived at the Four Stars Arena, he realized his body size was no longer an advantage.

It could even be considered his shortcoming.

To get stronger, he could only rely on survival points.

Xiao Poor Thing seemed somewhat dejected.

She felt heavily responsible for Gu Tianjiao’s death.

If she had awakened Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao directly before, perhaps such a tragedy would not have occurred.

Little did she know that Gu Tianjiao had already woken up at that time.

Ghost Dragon was too fast, so fast that Chu Ge couldn’t react in time.

They rested for four or five hours.

Chu Ge and his two companions started on their way, with Xiao Ming submerging into the riverbed and slowly following behind.

With Xiao Ming’s addition, the trio became much more confident.

They continued along the riverbank.

Sunset gave way to moonrise.

Another night had descended upon them.

In Amazon Rainforest 01, Chu Ge no longer considered the time.

As nighttime arrived, the rainforest grew lively.

The sounds of frogs, insects, and beastly roars came from all directions, making the rainforest even more daunting.

“Let’s stop here and wait for our chance,”

Chu Ge suddenly said, and Xiao Poor Thing and Arno offered no objections.

Xiao Ming also stopped, waiting silently at the bottom of the river.

Chu Ge lay on the ground, carefully listening to the sounds around him.

Xiao Poor Thing was startled, wondering if there was danger nearby?

She lay down as well, keeping alert.

Chu Ge faintly heard crying.

It was very ethereal.

It gave him the impression of an auditory hallucination.

But his instinct told him he hadn’t misheard.

The crying sounded very much like a child.

His first thought was of non-standard survival substances.

His last experience in Tokyo had left an indelible mark on him.

Xiao Poor Thing asked in surprise, “Did you guys hear a child crying?”

Arno answered, “No.”

“Yes.”

Chu Ge then spoke up, alerting both of them.

If one person heard it, it might be nothing, but with two people hearing it, it had to be real.

“Where is it? Should I go check it out?” Arno asked in a low voice.

His defensive power was high; he wasn’t afraid of death.

“Don’t go, that’s probably bait.”

Xiao Ming rose from the river and warned.

Arno asked in surprise, “Bait? Could it be a Babyfish?”

The Babyfish’s voice resembled that of a child, hence its name.

“Very likely. There are indeed a few strong Babyfish in the Four Stars,” Xiao Ming answered.

Chu Ge couldn’t help but think of the Babyfish he had encountered on the Maxun Archipelago.

That guy seemed to be a Four Stars Survivor too.

What are the odds?

Every time he thought of that Babyfish, Chu Ge would think of Ma Lingling.

That seemingly adorable girl was a ruthlessly tough woman.

After that, they did not move but waited patiently.

About half an hour passed.

The cries of the child ceased, followed by a burst of beastly roars filled with pain and anger from that direction.

It seems someone fell for the trap.

Arno sighed, “They really are all cunning bastards, way too vicious.”

Chu Ge laughed, “Isn’t there a saying, ‘The higher the Star Level, the dirtier the tricks; the reckless do not live long.'”

Arno nodded.

Suddenly, he felt the need to change his combat approach.

He could be aggressive, but that didn’t necessarily mean he had to be reckless.

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

The bushes nearby suddenly started shaking, startling Chu Ge and his two companions to turn and look.

A black cat dashed out.

Arno pounced at it immediately.

The black cat quickly dodged.

“Damn! Chu Ge Siqi, control your guy!”

The Black Cat yelled, and Chu Ge realized instantly.

Isn’t this the Sorcerer Cat he met in Tokyo?

“Arno, stop.”

Chu Ge hastily called out, and Arno retreated immediately.

Xiao Poor Thing watched the Sorcerer Cat warily.

The cat’s movements were so agile that her eyes could barely keep up with its previous leap.

“Arno? That name really suits you, you brute!”

The Sorcerer Cat snorted, then ignoring Arno’s fierce expression, turned to look at Chu Ge.

It said with a teasing smile, “Old Chu, I’ve found a treasure, how about we team up?”

Treasure!

An unconventional survival item?

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, asking with his gaze.

The Sorcerer Cat laughed mischievously and then nodded.

“Why not keep it for yourself? It must be dangerous,” Chu Ge asked.

“Of course it’s dangerous. Otherwise, why would I come to you? It’s in the swamp, and it’s tough to handle,” the Sorcerer Cat said with vexation.

Swamp!

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge immediately raised his paw, “Scram!”

“I’ve come a long way following your scent, how could you just refuse me outright?”

The Sorcerer Cat pretended to be pitiful.

Arno couldn’t hold back and cursed out loud.

The Sorcerer Cat became instantly enraged by his vulgar words.

It looked like the two were about to fight.

Chu Ge helplessly said, “Great Sorcerer, just give it up. Unconventional survival items are indeed hard to come by. But sometimes, they’re not. Why insist?”

Upon hearing this, the Sorcerer Cat’s kitten face turned bitter again.

“Those who aim for unconventional survival items in the Survival Competition tend to die horribly.”

Xiao Ming’s voice suddenly came from the river.

The Sorcerer Cat turned its head, and upon seeing the huge creature on the river’s surface, it quickly retreated in fear.

“A crocodile? A shark? A catfish?”

The Sorcerer Cat asked tremulously, its tail standing on end.

Chu Ge laughed, “A shark, my teammate. You should leave. If we encounter you again, I won’t stop my teammates from treating you as prey.”

Unlike Fingertip Cigarette, the Sorcerer Cat indeed had a favor owed to him, having guided him in the past.

But this had nothing to do with the Sorcerer Cat’s character.

Chu Ge couldn’t risk his teammates’ lives on a gamble.

If they weren’t on the same team, then they should keep their distance!

“Are you really not considering it? Legend has it that the Amazon Rainforest has seven versions, and each version hides a great secret. Whoever obtains it can rise to the top, gaining explosive improvements in physical fitness, or even evolve!” the Sorcerer Cat pressed on.

Evolve?

Arno said irritably, “What now, you’re going to evolve into a pretty girl?”

The Sorcerer Cat glared at him. Why did this guy talk so much?
