Survival Arena

Chapter 482: Chapter 482 Tragedy

“Brothers, what about cooperating? It’s too hard for us insects to stay alive, let’s go find unconventional survival materials together!”

The Black Haired Spider looked at Chu Ge and shouted loudly.

For insects, their distance was about as far as a playground is for humans.

Chu Ge did not immediately respond.

“Don’t work with it, who knows if there are any schemes! We haven’t been ambushed before, which is already lucky!” Arno whispered quietly, afraid that Chu Ge would agree.

Chu Ge lowered his voice and said, “I don’t want to agree either. I’m wondering, should we hunt it instead? Look closely, there doesn’t seem to be any of its companions around. It clearly wants to lure us to a particular place with what it just said.”

Gu Tianjiao hesitated, “It’s so big, wouldn’t it be difficult to kill?”

Chu Ge replied, “Aside from its spider silk, it doesn’t seem that impressive in other aspects. If it was confident it could catch up with us, it wouldn’t be flapping its gums.”

The others gathered round, thinking he made sense.

“Should I try first?” Local Snake asked.

It was a Rhinoceros Beetle. The Black Haired Spider would probably find it not so easy to eat.

“No, you are too weak,” Chu Ge shook his head.

Local Snake felt dejected upon hearing this.

Chu Ge turned back and shouted, “Then come over here.”

The Black Haired Spider hesitated and said, “You guys aren’t plotting against me, are you?”

“How could we!”

Chu Ge replied loudly, with great conviction.

The Black Haired Spider immediately began to climb upwards.

Seeing how fast it climbed, Chu Ge hesitated again.

This fellow is so confident, could it really be that strong?

Could it be a Five Stars Survivor?

The others were scared too.

“Shall we just slip away?” Xiao Poor Thing asked cautiously.

“Follow your heart, run!”

Chu Ge laughed helplessly and then led the team to escape.

The group fled quickly, even the Earthworm crawled fast.

“Why are you running away again?”

The Black Haired Spider called out urgently, increasing its speed as well.

This time, Chu Ge did not answer it.

Chu Ge stayed at the back of the group, and when passing the bridge made of tree branches, he ignited a Raging Flame Separation, setting the branches along the way on fire.

His purpose was to cut off the enemy’s path.

However, the Black Haired Spider could spin webs; even without the tree bridges, it could easily catch up.

“This guy really harbors evil intentions!”

Arno muttered under his breath, his tone impatient.

If it were the old him, he would have turned back to fight by now.

But his survival rate in the team was getting lower and lower, and he dared not take risks anymore.

General Lie Hao looked back and chuckled, “Good, it can’t catch up!”

Although the Black Haired Spider was relentless in pursuit, the distance between them was increasing.

If it went on like this, they would eventually shake off the Black Haired Spider.

About five minutes passed.

The Black Haired Spider was finally thrown off.

The group did not stop, continuing to move forward.

Survival notifications sounded from time to time, the excitement all belonged to other survivors; Chu Ge and his companions were set on lying low.

Xiao Poor Thing, Gu Tianjiao, and Chi Lian, relying on their sense of smell, continued to search for unconventional survival materials.

The Amazon Rainforest was vast, seemingly endless as they made their way through.

For humans, it was easy to get lost in it, let alone insects.

Insects were abundant at night, forcing them to stop and go frequently.

Some of the insects were enormous, like monsters.

Besides insects, there were various poisons too.

Chu Ge noticed that animals were becoming rarer, probably hunted down by survivors.

Better to kill wrongly than to miss an enemy.

This was the principle many survivors adopted for scoring points.

Survivors disguising as animals had become a common tactic.

…

It was just past four in the morning.

Chu Ge and the others stopped amidst some rubble, not daring to make a move, only hiding in the crevices between the stones.

There was an American lion prowling up ahead.

This American lion looked as formidable as an African lion, obviously not just any ordinary animal.

Survivor!

The American lion kept wandering around, clearly sensing something.

Everyone was sweating bullets, as facing such a giant beast, they had no chance of resistance.

They didn’t even have the strength to fight back.

An American lion could crush them all with a single step.

Just then, the bushes beside them shook, and a porcupine charged out, colliding head-on with the American lion.

The American lion immediately reacted, starting to fight back.

The two animals began to struggle fiercely.

To Chu Ge and the others, it was as if they were watching a battle between primordial gigantic beasts.

The nearby stones flew about chaotically, frightening them into flattening themselves against the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

“Ah!”

General Lie Hao screamed in agony.

He had been hit by a flying stone and felt as if his body was almost crushed.

Fortunately, the American lion and the porcupine hadn’t noticed them, engrossed in their fight.

It seemed that the American lion was slightly stronger.

“Let’s go this way,”

Chu Ge instructed, and then led the group to bypass the commotion.

The others tread carefully, with stones being flung around like a hail of bullets.

“Is this what they mean by ‘when the gods fight, mortals suffer’?”

Xiao Poor Thing wailed, finding this random species competition unbearable.

Chu Ge looked back and said, “Stop talking and hurry up to see if there’s any scent of unconventional survival material around here. Both of these creatures are without teammates, yet they lingered in this place—there might be unconventional survival materials nearby.”

At this, Xiao Poor Thing immediately perked up.

The others also thought it was possible.

The American lion before clearly had been looking for something, and the porcupine arrived too quickly, not even calling for its teammates, which probably meant they were both attracted by the same thing.

A few minutes later, they were safe, though still not far from the American lion and the porcupine.

They suddenly found a corpse behind some underbrush.

“Eh?”

Chu Ge let out a surprised sound, and the others were startled as well.

It was a human corpse!

The person had a backpack on, still clenching a camera in their hand, their neck bitten off with bone protruding, the blood already dry, creating a shocking sight.

“Why would someone come here?” Gu Tianjiao wondered.

Judging by the clothes, the death was recent, likely within the past couple of days—since the garments weren’t filthy.

Coming to the Amazon Rainforest at the start of the Survival Competition.

Could it be a coincidence?

“Who cares? We’re not here to protect world peace,”

Arno shook his head, now just wanting to quickly find the unconventional survival materials.

Without the Survival Talent, he’d fall further behind Chu Ge.

Without the Survival Talent, there’s no place for him in the Five Stars Coliseum.

In the Four Stars Arena, there might be a few passive star upgrading weaklings, but in the Five Stars Coliseum, everyone is a master, battle-hardened.

The group passed by the corpse.

Chu Ge noticed the person’s eyes were bloodshot, like blood orbs, rather terrifying.

“What kind of death is this? Could the beast that attacked them be poisonous?”

Chu Ge wondered in surprise, thinking that if this was the case, then it likely involved an encounter with a Survivor.

They continued onward.

Twenty meters later, they saw another human corpse.

The manner of death was the same, with the neck bitten off and eyes bloodshot.

In the darkness, it was like something out of a horror film.

Their mood heavy, they moved on.
