Survival Arena

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: The Mysterious Forest

Chu Ge struggled to leap out of the lake, his body stretching out in mid-air.

He suddenly felt his tail being bitten off, the pain excruciating.

He instinctively looked back and a giant crocodile had also leaped out of the water, clenched around his tail in its mouth.

If he had been any slower, he might have been dragged into the lake by the giant crocodile.

After landing, he hurriedly jumped away, distancing himself from the lake surface.

Xiao Poor Thing breathed a sigh of relief. Although Chu Ge was injured, at least his life was spared, and he was still capable of moving, which wasn’t too bad.

The giant crocodile’s eyes floated on the surface of the lake, coldly staring at them.

The Raging Flame Separation on Chu Ge’s body dissipated, as he bore the severe pain of his tail, turning to face the giant crocodile.

At that moment, the giant crocodile submerged back into the water.

Chu Ge did not curse in anger, on the contrary, he felt more relieved than ever to have survived.

“I wonder if it’s a Survivor or just a wild beast from here,” Chu Ge murmured.

Xiao Poor Thing speculated, “It should be a local wild animal, otherwise it would have charged straight at us. It’s a crocodile, not a shark.”

Chu Ge nodded, thinking there was sense in that.

The two of them turned and left.

A dense forest lay ahead, shrouded in mist.

After entering the forest, Chu Ge noticed that the trees were laden with various purple fruits, the size of table tennis balls, sparkling and translucent, with dew still on them.

Xiao Poor Thing warned cautiously, “Aren’t all these fruits poisonous?”

In the wilderness, the more beautiful the flowers, plants, and fruits, the more poisonous the creatures are.

“Probably. Anyway, we shouldn’t eat them, let’s just find somewhere to hide. If this is the Poison Forest, wild beasts shouldn’t come near. We should still be cautious,” Chu Ge said softly.

He had a feeling that this place was very dangerous.

The two continued on.

After a while.

They stopped to rest in front of a large rock.

After the previous harrowing escape, they were both very tired.

As they lay there, they kept panting, their gaze sweeping the surroundings, on the lookout for any enemies.

After a long time.

Chu Ge suddenly caught a strange smell.

It was somewhat fishy, yet also somewhat fragrant.

He instinctively stood up.

Xiao Poor Thing also noticed it and quickly reminded, “Be careful of poison. It might be the scent of some plant or flower.”

Chu Ge nodded.

He also thought it was possible.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Let’s go, it’s better to be cautious.”

Xiao Poor Thing had no objections.

The two of them changed locations again.

They walked towards the depths of the forest.

About half an hour later.

Chu Ge noticed that the mist in the forest was getting thicker, somewhat obstructing their vision.

He thought of the poisonous fog mentioned by the white-furred monkey earlier.

Could it be…

His body shuddered, feeling a chill.

Xiao Poor Thing also thought of the poison fog and couldn’t help shivering in fear.

“It’s over… It’s all over…”

The poisonous fog gathered at a visible speed, with their visible range shrinking more and more.

The two couldn’t help but stop.

Xiao Poor Thing looked at Chu Ge and asked nervously, “Boss, what do we do now?”

“Don’t panic. Let me think,”

Chu Ge answered with a frown.

Suddenly, they heard the rustling of the bushes behind them, which scared them into immediately turning around to look.

They saw a Rock Python approaching them, as thick as a washbasin, very frightening.

It continued to flick its tongue, its eyes coldly fixed on Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing.

Chu Ge immediately ignited his Raging Flame Separation, preparing to kill the creature.

“Wait! I’m a Survivor too, I don’t want to be your enemy, I want to form an alliance!”

The Rock Python suddenly spoke in human language, its tone somewhat panicked.

The voice was a stark contrast to its appearance.

Chu Ge asked coldly, “How do we form an alliance?”

“There are less than twenty teams left, we don’t need to kill enemies, we just need to survive, but this place is the most dangerous area in Amazon Rainforest 01, harboring many Ancient Behemoths, and even the plants here are man-eating,” the Rock Python quickly replied.

“It’s too hard to survive here, we must join forces, or any behemoth could kill us.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge hesitated.

Xiao Poor Thing whispered, “Boss, be careful, it might be a trick.”

In the Survival Arena, trusting others was too dangerous.

Nine times out of ten, you’d be betrayed!

The Rock Python continued, “I’m sincere, you must have been through various dangers to make it here. Even if we had two more people, the three of us might not make it.”

“Have you heard any notifications about a Survival Team being wiped out? No, that means all twenty teams are still alive.”

At these words, the expressions on Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing’s faces changed.

If that was the case, then they were in danger.

All remaining Survivors would be extremely cautious, and their environment was even more dangerous.@@novelbin@@

At this rate, their chances of being eliminated were higher than for other survivors.

This was not good news.

Thinking this over, Chu Ge grew even more hesitant.

Xiao Poor Thing also fell silent and stopped advising Chu Ge.

They had survived with difficulty up to now; they didn’t want to die here.

“Fine, we’ll form an alliance, but we need to keep our distance. Can you manage that?” Chu Ge pondered.

The Rock Python nodded hastily, “Surviving is what’s most important. If I make any excessive moves, you can team up to kill me.”

With that, Chu Ge and his partner temporarily gained an ally.

The Rock Python explained that the mist in the forest was not poisonous, but the purple fruits were.

And that wasn’t all.

The strange smell pervasive in the forest was the scent of a Man Eating Flower, which, if approached, would wrap its underground roots around the prey and drag them into its petals to consume and digest.

The Rock Python had two teammates before, and they had died in the digestive fluids of those Man Eating Flowers.

Speaking of this, the Rock Python seemed quite gloomy.

“Before you came, do you know how I spent each night? In fear, barely daring to sleep, there’s a huge Black Bear around here, anything is its food, and I almost got caught by it,” the Rock Python said through gritted teeth, the tone filled with hatred.

Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing could only show sympathetic eyes.

They too had lost teammates here.

Even before reaching land, they heard the notification about Arno being eliminated.

But they didn’t feel much grief.

After all, Arno had Points for staying alive, so it wasn’t a real death.

“Is there anywhere nearby suitable for hiding?” Chu Ge asked.

The Rock Python answered, “The caves here are not safe to hide in, too dangerous, just stay in the forest and avoid the plants, at least the Ancient Behemoths don’t dare to come in.”

Chu Ge nodded, then lay down to continue resting.

The three fell into silence.

But it wasn’t long before the Rock Python broke the silence and began to talk about its previous experiences.

Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing were speechless.

Could this creature be a chatterbox?

Listening to the Rock Python’s non-stop chatter, Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing gradually felt drowsy.

Their sleepiness grew heavier.

In the end, the two lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

The Rock Python stopped talking, its eyes flickering coldly, contemplating unknown thoughts.

It slowly approached Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing.
