Chapter 362: 362 Falling Off the Cliff
Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Falling Off the Cliff
Chu Ge and Arno came to the edge of the cliff and looked down with Xiao Poor Thing, only to see a dense fog swirling below, bottomless, but the cliff was crawling with numerous ants.
These ants gathered together, forming a dark red area that was difficult to spot as ants unless one looked closely.
“There’s an ant plague here as well, but the giant beast that shook the mountain earlier didn’t disturb them, so there should be no danger for now,”
Chu Ge said in a low voice, and after speaking, he turned and walked to the corner of the mountain path.
He was worried that the Giant Black Bear might come back, so he had to keep a constant watch.
Xiao Poor Thing asked Arno to stand guard at the edge of the waterfall.
The three of them each guarded one side, ready to inform each other in case of danger.
Time continued to pass.
The cliffs under the night sky appeared extremely terrifying.
Even with a clear view, it still made Chu Ge and his two companions uneasy.
From time to time, they would look up at the night sky.
The stars were twinkling, and colorful auroras shone brilliantly.
Such a beautiful scene couldn’t ease the tension in their hearts.
Prompts from the extreme survival battle became more and more infrequent.
Basically, a prompt would appear only every three or four hours.
Most of them were about Survival Teams being wiped out or eliminated.
…
Late into the night.
The three of them were somewhat sleepy.
But they forced themselves to stay alert, pushing through until daylight.
Only then did they retreat back into the bushes to sleep.
Gradually, all three of them fell asleep.
Time passed unknowingly.
Chu Ge suddenly felt an itch on his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, and as he became more alert, the feeling on his body became more pronounced.
He saw what looked like red rivers flowing on the ground.
Wait!
Chu Ge’s eyes widened, realizing that what he thought was red rivers were actually an ant plague!
“Wake up, quickly, the ant plague is here! Run for it!”
Chu Ge hastily pushed Xiao Poor Thing and Arno.
The two woke up, also frightened by the scene before them.
They immediately bolted from the bushes, shaking their bodies as they ran, trying to shake off the ants.
As they left the bushes, they were horrified to discover that the entire cliff was already covered with Red Ants.
In the blazing sun, this scene was quite startling, causing goosebumps.
They ran for their lives, quickly rounding the corner of the mountain path, and charging down the slope.
Ahead of them was the direction in which the Giant Black Bear had left.
The end was still obscured by mist, preventing a clear view of what lay behind.
The three stopped and frantically shook their bodies, rolling on the ground.
“This is bad, the ant plague has targeted us!”
Arno suddenly shouted, and Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing looked back.
They saw an army of ants, vast as a river, surging toward them.
“Run!”
Chu Ge commanded, and then he turned and fled.
Arno and Xiao Poor Thing followed close behind.
The ant army moved swiftly, chasing after them with a sweeping momentum.
Chu Ge and his companions were forced to increase their speed.
Soon, they plunged into the mist.
Their vision was hindered, and they had to slow down.
But the rustling sound behind them grew louder and louder, indicating that the distance between the ant army and them was closing.
“Faster!”
Chu Ge said in a firm voice, hearing this, Xiao Poor Thing and Arno started to speed up.
After running for half a minute, they burst out of the mist.
Chu Ge’s vision cleared, and on seeing what was ahead, he was shocked to find a cliff!
He stopped immediately in fright, but the momentum was too great, and being on a slope, his body uncontrollably lurched forward.
The same was true for Arno and Xiao Poor Thing.
“No——”
Arno let out a terrified scream.
Like a comedic scene from a cartoon, the three of them fell off the cliff together, plummeting downward.
In mid-air, Xiao Poor Thing sighed and said, “Bad luck, we did our best.”
They had tried to avoid all sorts of dangers, but it seems they still couldn’t escape death.
Surviving this long was already quite an achievement.
Chu Ge gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the area below.
They passed through layers of mist and soon saw a vast lake as wide as an ocean, Green Lake.
The three plunged directly into the lake.
When Chu Ge made contact with the water’s surface, it felt like smashing onto solid ground, causing intense pain throughout his body. Fortunately, his defensive power was astonishing, and he didn’t die on impact or pass out after falling into the water.
Arno and Xiao Poor Thing felt the same.
Their defensive power had all been enhanced.
The trio surfaced, gasping for air.
“I feel like my peerless beauty is about to be ruined…”
Xiao Poor Thing said with a pitiful voice.
Arno looked around and said, “Stop whining, let’s get to shore quickly. Who knows what kind of monster is hiding in this lake.”
Chu Ge was also worried about this.
However, the lake was shrouded in mist, and the shore was not visible at all.
After hesitating for a moment, they swiftly swam in one direction.
Whether it was the right direction or not, they had to leave quickly because they were bleeding.
Previously, the ants had bitten many small wounds on them, which burst open after they plummeted from the sky and hit the water.
Animals in the water are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.
After swimming for a few minutes, the fog ahead was still thick, and there was no end in sight.
They dared not imagine how vast this lake was.
“Only 20 Survival Teams are left in the Extreme Survival Battle!”
The indifferent female voice suddenly sounded, alerting all the Survivors.
20 Survival Teams!
The eyes of Chu Ge and his companions lit up.
If they could hold out a little longer, they were going to win!
But the last ten teams wouldn’t die off within a day or two.
Splash!
Chu Ge suddenly heard a noise from behind and instinctively looked back.
He saw that Arno had disappeared, with bubbles rising on the surface of the lake.
Chu Ge immediately dove into the water.
Blood splashed on his face, and he saw a dark, colossal creature rapidly diving, disappearing into the darkness below.
Arno was gone, likely dragged to the lake’s bottom.
Chu Ge quickly surfaced and exclaimed urgently, “Run for it!”
Xiao Poor Thing was terrified and quickly followed him.
The two swam frantically, not holding back any strength, only wanting to reach the shore as fast as possible.
It wasn’t long before.
They distinctly felt the water behind them stirring.
And it was getting more violent!
A massive creature was charging at them!
“It’s over…”
Chu Ge clenched his teeth and, struggling against the fear, tried to make himself angry.
The angrier he got, the stronger he became.
Raging Flame Separation flames quickly engulfed him.
Xiao Poor Thing was faster, but never managed to widen the distance.
“If you can get away, then go ahead!”
Chu Ge roared in a low voice.
Xiao Poor Thing clenched her teeth, only able to speed up.
Both of them surged forward at full speed.
Chu Ge was relieved that the giant beast behind him couldn’t catch up.
He didn’t look back and kept charging ahead.
One minute later.
“Boss! The shore is right ahead!”
Xiao Poor Thing’s excited voice came from in front.
Chu Ge, upon hearing this, exerted himself once more.
The shore was about four hundred meters away from them.
This was a life-or-death race against time!
Three hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
Chu Ge suddenly smelled the scent of blood coming from behind.@@novelbin@@
If he could smell blood against the wind, the massive creature must have already opened its gaping maw, ready to swallow him whole.
Xiao Poor Thing was the first to rush onto the shore and looked back at Chu Ge, crying out in panic, “Boss! Hurry! It’s right behind you!”
A chill ran down Chu Ge’s spine.
He dared not look back.
Soon, he felt his feet touch the shallows and immediately used it to spring upwards.
With explosive power from his muscles, he leapt several meters high.
