Survival Arena

Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Safe Landing

On weekdays, Jiangyuan Lake Pond had far fewer visitors than on weekends.

A couple strolled along the shaded path by the lake.

“Huh? Look at the lake surface!”

The girl suddenly pointed at the lake and exclaimed, her boyfriend instinctively turned his head, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

The lake was churning, and occasionally splashes of water shot up, as if some gigantic creature beneath was stirring up the water.

“Could it be a lake monster?” the boy muttered nervously.

His voice also carried a hint of excitement.

Lake monster!

A never-ending topic!

The girl, however, was worried and suggested, “Should we leave?”

Meanwhile.

Many tourists by the lakeside noticed the disturbance on the water, news spread quickly, and soon the management of the scenic area was alerted.

“A monster in the water? What nonsense!”

A middle-aged man stood in the surveillance room, bellowing furiously.

He felt he was being made a fool of.

Where would there be a monster!

Has he been watching too many movies?

A staff member pointed at a screen, his voice trembling, “Boss… look…”

The middle-aged man turned to look, and the next second, his eyes bulged.

On the screen was an aerial view of the lake, where the shadow of a gigantic python could be seen. Behind it, countless fish followed, creating a spectacular white arrow.

“This…” the middle-aged man was dumbfounded.

Was there really a monster in Jiangyuan Lake Pond?

Impossible!

He panicked in an instant.

…

In the lake, there was a massacre everywhere.

The Great Ming Camp and the Great Qing Camp joined forces, carrying out a bloody slaughter.

They moved collectively, avoiding splitting up; any Survivor that encountered them either ran or awaited death.

Chu Ge had already been attacked by them previously and was now covered in wounds; he dared not fight and could only flee for his life.

So far, the Suicide Group, apart from Chu Ge, still had Gu Tianjiao, Xiao Poor Thing, Chi Lian, Xiao Hero, Local Snake, and Arno remaining.

Four members had been lost.

Overall, not too bad.

However, Chu Ge felt that things were going to get worse.

Gu Tianjiao, Xiao Poor Thing, and Local Snake were all in the Great Song territory, which might be as divided as Great Tang and Great Yuan.

Chu Ge was desperately fleeing alongside the fish schools.

He looked back and saw the mighty enemy in hot pursuit, only tens of meters away.

“Too shameless! They’ve actually teamed up!”

“This is unbearable, we’re going to die!”

“Should we pretend to be undercover?”

“Whether undercover or not, they’re killing on sight; someone tried that before!”

“Would rather kill by mistake than let someone off? That’s damned clever!”

The fleeing Survivors communicated with each other.

Most Survivors were not too panicky; at worst, it meant death.

They had already experienced various life-and-death crises and were not afraid at all.

Unless their Survival Points were insufficient.

Chu Ge pondered silently.

He felt that he couldn’t continue with these Survivors and had to find a place to hide.

Although Jiangyuan Lake Pond was vast, he had nearly explored it all; there were hardly any places truly suitable for hiding.

“No good! Enemies ahead!”

Someone cried out in alarm, and Chu Ge looked up to see another group of Survivors appearing quickly from ahead.

Encircled from front and back!

The situation was dire!

Chu Ge immediately swam upwards.

He heard the sound of a boat.

Now, only humans could save him.

Soon, he saw the bottom of a speedboat, moving rapidly, not too far from him.

Chu Ge instantly accelerated.

Aside from Chu Ge, other Survivors had the same idea.

Whoosh——

Chu Ge struggled mightily and leaped out of the water, landing right beside a speedboat, precisely falling into it.

To be exact, he landed on the legs of two men.

Both were men, and they were startled by Chu Ge’s sudden appearance.

“Fuck! That’s a huge fish!”

“Aaah! A water monster!”

Filled with terror, they yelled loudly, instinctively trying to throw Chu Ge out. However, the big catfish Chu Ge was too heavy for them to toss back into the water immediately.

The first attempt was unsuccessful, but by the second attempt, they had calmed down.

The woman driving the speedboat exclaimed in shock, “Huh? It’s a catfish, why does it have so many injuries? When did Jiangyuan Lake Pond have such a big catfish?”

The two men holding Chu Ge also began to examine him.

Chu Ge acted very meek, not flailing about, quickly easing the men’s wariness.@@novelbin@@

At that moment, other fish jumped onto the speedboat.

None were as big as Chu Ge, seeming quite normal, so they didn’t cause any panic among the three people.

“Could it really be a water monster? Let’s hurry and evacuate, get a bigger boat,” one of the men said nervously, his legs clearly shaking.

This guy was genuinely scared.

A water monster?

It seemed humans were beginning to take notice of the Survivor’s fights.

After a brief conversation, the three of them decided to turn around and retreat.

They didn’t throw the fish from the speedboat back into the lake, realizing these fish were frightened of the water monster in the lake.

Ten minutes later.

Chu Ge was placed into an air cushion fish pond. The other small fish didn’t end up beside him, perhaps those people were afraid Chu Ge would eat them.

“This is much more comfortable.”

Chu Ge thought contentedly. If he kept this up for a couple more days, he could safely get through the Survival Competition.

As such a big catfish, humans probably wouldn’t want to eat him, but rather protect him.

Chu Ge began to rest.

Gradually, he drifted off to sleep.

He hadn’t slept since the Survival Competition began.

…

Chu Ge faintly heard arguing and woke up from his sleep.

He slowly opened his eyes, only to find that quite a crowd had gathered around the air cushion fish pond.

He was frightened.

Shit!

They weren’t really going to eat the big catfish, were they?

“The dead fish are piling up; if this continues, the water monster will destroy the ecological environment of Jiangyuan Lake Pond!”

“You know which one is the water monster? Right now, it looks like a lot of fish are going berserk.”

“Could someone have poisoned them, making these fish dangerously aggressive?”

“For now, it only seems to be the fish killing each other, no harm has come to the visitors.”

“Didn’t Elder Liu, the sweeper, say that someone was killed and their corpse sank into the lake?”

“But the surveillance cameras didn’t capture anything.”

Listening to these people argue, Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn’t about eating fish.

He noticed that it was already night.

He could see the night sky just by looking up.

Before long, the people around the air cushion fish pond dispersed.

Chu Ge felt the world go quiet.

He prepared to go back to sleep.

Just then, he heard footsteps.

Someone else was coming?

Could they have mistaken him for the water monster?

Soon enough, a shadowy figure appeared before Chu Ge.

He was dumbstruck by her presence, his body trembling slightly.

Ma Lingling!

“Are you scared?” Ma Lingling said with a smirk. Under the moonlight, her sweet face became incredibly eerie.

Chu Ge pretended to be composed and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ma Lingling laughed, “Looking for you, of course.”

Chu Ge didn’t believe her for a second.

“Hehe, never mind, I won’t tease you. I’m actually here to find the number one Four Stars and to deal with the Nine Extreme Sins. I heard Evil Owl has his eyes on you?” Ma Lingling asked with a smile.

Deal with Nine Extreme Sins?

Chu Ge was stunned. The bodies he saw earlier must have indeed been members of the Nine Extreme Sins.
