Survival Arena

Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Gathering for the Treasure Hunt

“An ant army below?”

Xiao Poor Thing asked, her scalp tingling at the sight of the ground covered in fallen leaves rippling like waves. It was hard to imagine how many ants were marching underneath.

“Everyone, pay more attention,” Chu Ge said. “Spread out and avoid letting the ants crawl up.”

Though ants are small, if they amass into an army of a few hundred million, they could devour a fierce animal down to its bare bones in a matter of tens of seconds.

Chu Ge, Xiao Poor Thing, Gu Tianjiao, Xiao Ming, Chi Lian, and Local Snake—only six of them remained; they had to be careful.

If those ants climbed the trees, they would likely lose a few more people.

Currently, only Chu Ge and Local Snake could fly.

“Let’s climb up a bit to avoid being spotted,” Gu Tianjiao suggested. “If one of the ants is a Survivor, and it gets separated, it could lead an entire army to follow.”

Gu Tianjiao spoke up, proposing that everyone stay away from the ground.

No one objected, and they all climbed up.

They spread out, positioning themselves on different sides of the tree trunks.

It wasn’t long before the ant army emerged from under the piles of leaves—all of them red ants, looking like a spill of fresh blood.

The sight was terrifying, making onlookers’ scalps tingle with horror.

This was especially true for Chu Ge and the others, who had taken the form of insects.

What would it feel like to face an army of hundreds of million from the Human Race?

The shock was indescribable.

“Why are there so many ants?” Local Snake yelled in a panic.

Even though he could fly, the sight of the massive ant army below still frightened him.

“Some ants are climbing the trees!” Chi Lian suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

They saw a red ant climbing up the bark.

Where there was a first, there was a second.

A third.

A fourth.

More and more!

Panicked, they all started to flee.

They quickly reached a branch and, moving through the connections between the branches, they reached a neighboring large tree.

Fortunately, the ants weren’t too fast, and they certainly couldn’t keep up with them.

A few minutes later, the ant army had gone.

Chu Ge and the others stopped on a branch and took a deep breath.

“Quick, look below!”

Xiao Poor Thing suddenly said, and everyone followed her gaze.

They saw next to a large tree below, a skeleton lay. It seemed to be a tiger or a lion, a veritable mountain of bones stripped of all flesh.

Such a large feline must have been a Survivor.

There are no felines this big in the Amazon Rainforest.

“Truly savage,” Gu Tianjiao remarked.

Though ants are tiny, gathered together, they represent a terrifying force.

In this, they are quite similar to humans.

Chu Ge chuckled, “Perhaps this is also one of the tests of survival.”

Xiao Poor Thing murmured, “Could these ants be attracted to some unconventional survival substance?”

She felt it was very possible.

The speed of the ant army was too fast; they must have sensed danger or been attracted by something. They wouldn’t be moving so rapidly without reason.

“Who knows,” Chu Ge said, shaking his head. “Even if that’s the case, we can’t go in that direction.”

After resting for a while, they continued on their way, heading away from the direction the ant army had come from.

There were far fewer survival hints today than yesterday, which gave them a feeling of relative peace.

Without other survival hints, they were not as anxious.

Hearing that other Survival Teams were going on killing sprees, even if they were rational, it would still affect them emotionally.

A bee suddenly flew past.

“Extra, extra! Unconventional survival substances detected to the east, a large area of unconventional survival substances!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge and others couldn’t help but be speechless.

Was this guy playing the role of a newspaper vendor?

Gu Tianjiao asked, “Should we go take a look?”

Local Snake hesitated, “Could it be a trap?”

Chu Ge pondered.

Even if it were a trap, being cautious should be fine.

If there really was a large amount of unconventional survival materials, it was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed!

Deciding this, Chu Ge said, “Let’s check it out!”

He immediately led the team to follow up.

The bee flew around everywhere, shouting as it went, attracting the Survivors to chase after it.

Before long, Chu Ge saw other Survivors’ figures.

They were all insects of varying sizes, moving forward on different trees, with almost no one daring to proceed on the ground.

The dangers on the ground were much greater than those in the trees.

In addition to guarding against other Survivors, they also had to beware of other animals and poisonous insects.

“Could it be true?” Xiao Ming muttered.

Chi Lian said, “I’ve heard of such things. There’s a team that, once they discover unconventional survival materials, they will inform all the Survivors in the Survival Arena to go and scramble for it, but they themselves won’t make a move.”

Xiao Poor Thing asked in surprise, “Why is that?”

Chi Lian shook his head, “I’m not sure either. It’s precisely because of this that the team is very mysterious and their purpose is unfathomable.”

The Survival Arena really did have all sorts of strange people.

They continued to move forward.

An hour later.

They finally reached their destination.

An open space appeared in the forest ahead.

The space was covered with colorful plants, some of which were even emitting a glow.

Chu Ge and the others stopped in the trees, not daring to approach carelessly.

Not just them, but other Survivors as well.

Amid those plants lurked over a dozen poisonous snakes—vipers, cobras, mambas, and others.

Some species shouldn’t even be in this area.

At the edge of the plants, there was also a terrifying reticulated python.

They raised their heads to look around, constantly flicking their tongues, their eyes so cold.

“Why are there so many snakes? The Disaster of the Rampant Python?” Xiao Poor Thing complained.

The Disaster of the Rampant Python was because of a certain flower that there were so many giant pythons.

Wait a minute.

That movie’s plot seemed to be set in the Amazon Rainforest…

“Keep watching, don’t make any rash moves,” Chu Ge whispered.

Chi Lian and Xiao Ming were on guard behind them to prevent enemies from attacking them by surprise.

More and more Survivors arrived, on the trees surrounding the clearing.

The tree that Chu Ge and his people were on was being eyed by another team.

But this team didn’t directly clash with Chu Ge and his team; instead, they chose to lurk on a branch below.

Everyone who had come here was for the unconventional survival materials—the Survival Points were secondary.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Suddenly, a praying mantis couldn’t hold back and flew over.

Its speed was very fast, heading toward an area with fewer poisonous snakes.

Seeing this, another dozen or so flying insects rushed over, willing to take the risk.

The snake pack seemed to sense something, all of them reared up, surveying in all directions, making the scene even more terrifying.

As the Survivors approached the plants, the snakes went berserk, frantically chasing and killing the Survivors, sending them fleeing in panic.

More and more Survivors rushed over.

They were planning to seize the chaos to claim their treasure!

“What about us?” Local Snake asked excitedly.

Chu Ge’s eyes flickered, and he said, “Wait a little longer, it’s too dangerous right now.”

So much unconventional survival materials couldn’t possibly be snatched up directly.

Suddenly, Gu Tianjiao said, “There are other animal Survivors approaching.”

Chu Ge turned his head to look and saw a group of animals coming slowly from the west, led by a silverback gorilla.

With this group composition, it was obviously a Survival Team!
