Survival Arena

"Be careful!"

Gu Tianjiao shouted sharply and took off running down the hill.

She had the fastest reaction speed.

The others quickly came to their senses and followed her down.

Chu Ge, however, was not in a hurry.

The last time he weighed himself, he was 327 pounds; it was impossible for the golden eagle to lift him.

Sure enough.

The golden eagle merely skimmed over their heads and showed no interest in hunting.

"Brother, which Survival Team are you with?"

Chu Ge asked, scanning the horizon where no other Survival Teams were in sight.

It hadn't been long.

Yet a Survivor had already spotted them, which was not a good start.

Laughing in the sky, the golden eagle cried, "I Want to Defy the Heavens! You weaklings, just wait to be harvested by us!"

He laughed as he left, his laughter dissipating in the wind.

The group was speechless.

Ye Wukong covered his face and said, "Indeed, anyone who picks a name like that is definitely not smart."

Slowing down, they turned to bypass the summit, heading towards the other side of High Mountain.

"Keep it down, do you want to trigger an avalanche?"

Local Snake said anxiously, his voice trembling.

He did not wish to be buried under a cascade of snow.

"Right, we should speak more softly and keep moving. We can meet up with other Survival Teams and size up their strength," Gu Tianjiao nodded in agreement.

She didn't take the I Want to Defy the Heavens team seriously.

With only two members, they just needed to be careful of aerial attacks.

"Stay alert, the enemy might have abilities like mine to Change Color," Chu Ge warned, making everyone tense.

The icy, snow-covered High Mountain was indeed perfect for ambushes.

Even without the Change Color Ability, just lying in a pile of snow made one hard to detect.

What they needed to know now was the species composition of each team.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They had a fatal flaw—they lacked flying creatures.

"I have a strategy. We pretend to be the team chosen to follow the Never Fight Back Rule, avoiding Survivors when we see them so the enemy thinks we won't retaliate," Gu Tianjiao suddenly suggested as they walked.

Her plan brightened everyone's eyes.

Xiao Poor Thing asked doubtfully, "But what if we really run into a team that never fights back? They won't chase us, so what do we do then?"

"Are you dumb? Isn't it better if no one chases us?" Ye Wukong took the opportunity to retort.

Although Xiao Poor Thing was not convinced, she felt there was some sense to it.

"Fine, let's go with the deputy leader's plan. Now it's time to test our acting skills," Chu Ge said with a smile, giving Gu Tianjiao an approving look.

Sleazy.

Old Cunning Dog.

I like it.

"If we keep this act up and really end up surrounded by Never Fight Back teams, the enemy still won't be sure," Gu Tianjiao said with a cunning smile, her eyes flickering.

Nangong and Ye Wukong followed suit with sly grins, seemingly picturing the success of their plot.

Chu Ge sighed inwardly.

Would the path of Suicide stray further into sleaziness, away from the team's determined will?

Walking along the mountain slope, they began to spread out.

Chu Ge was at the front, with Nangong on the right and Ye Wukong on the left, while Xiao Poor Thing and Gu Tianjiao were in the back, spaced three to four meters apart from one another.

This formation was decided after a long period of coordination within the team.

Chu Ge at the front needed no explanation—he was the strongest.

Nangong had skin as thick as a mountain; taking the right flank allowed him to fend off enemies from one side and provide support when necessary.

Ye Wukong had undergone Muscle Strengthening and ranked third in strength within the team. As a Chimpanzee, he could adeptly wield weapons, serving as a combat power and a protective point on the left flank.

Both Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing were poisonous, capable of taking out the enemy with a surprise attack.

Additionally, Gu Tianjiao had the most developed sense of smell. If an enemy attacked from the rear, she would detect it in advance.

As for Local Snake...

He was the trump card!

Walking for over half an hour, they didn't encounter another Survivor.

```

The creature seen most frequently was a type of wild rabbit, hopping and running on the hillside, extremely agile.

"It's appeared!"

Gu Tianjiao suddenly spoke up, and everyone stopped, looking in the direction of her gaze.

Three hundred meters away, between two high mountains, a number of animals appeared at the foot of the hill.

Black Wolf, Scalper, Giant Lizard, two dogs.

The one in the lead should be the Black Wolf, walking at the forefront, with long fur waving in the wind, quite imposing.

"Oh my God!"

Nangong yelled out and turned to run.

Acting skills exploded!

Chu Ge and the others turned and fled, running very fast.

"Chase!"

The Black Wolf immediately commanded, leading its underlings in pursuit.

A yellow local dog followed closely by its side, nervously asking, "That lion looks tough to deal with, doesn't it?"

"Are you stupid? Such a strong lion running away from us means they're caught in the 'Never Fight Back Rule,' this is our chance!" another short-legged, grey-furred local dog barked.

Upon hearing this, the yellow dog's eyes suddenly lit up.

They all picked up speed.

Chu Ge and the others pretended to run for their lives, but in reality, they were not using their full speed.

"They've taken the bait!"

Ye Wukong said in a low voice, his tone very excited.

After speaking, he turned his head and cried out, "Big bros, can you not be so ferocious right from the start? Be friendly! Wouldn't it be nice to pretend we're just lumberjacks?"

Upon hearing this, Black Wolf and the others sped up once more.

"Don't shout, if an avalanche comes, we'll all be done for..."

Local Snake trembled on Ye Wukong's shoulder, speaking.

It really wanted to strangle Ye Wukong, who was always screaming and shouting.

Chu Ge glanced sideways, seeing the gap between the two groups closing.

They would probably be overtaken in less than two minutes.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Poor Thing suddenly cried out and fell, rolling down the snowy slope.

Damn!

This girl's learned to play dirty too.

Her acting was explosive!

Perfectly natural!

Not a single flaw to be found!

Chu Ge and the others stopped immediately, urging her to get up.

Xiao Poor Thing struggled to her feet and then limped to catch up.

The Black Wolf's eyes flashed fiercely as he ordered, "Speed up! They're dragging someone!"

Nangong returned, trying to carry Xiao Poor Thing.

Just then.

Scalper suddenly accelerated; he was nearing adulthood and could run as fast as a horse. His hooves kicked up the snow, unstoppable.

Ye Wukong promptly stopped, his legs trembling, and shouted, "Wing Chun Wukong is here! Don't mess around! Be careful, or I'll beat you to death!"

Scalper revealed a contemptuous smile and continued to accelerate.

What does a smiling cow look like?

Its mouth corners lifted, appearing as if photoshopped into a comical expression.

Scalper charged forward, nudging Nangong's behind and toppling both Nangong and Xiao Poor Thing, who was on his back.

Then, it charged towards Ye Wukong.

Ye Wukong, scared, hastily jumped away.

Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao stopped as well, turning to face them, their expressions turning fierce as if they were cornered beasts at the end of their road.

Black Wolf, the Yellow Local Dog, and the Short-legged Local Dog quickly caught up; as for the Giant Lizard, it was too slow, still a hundred meters away.

"You really are pitiful, caught in the 'Never Fight Back Rule' right from the start. Don't resist, I'll let you die a quick death."

Black Wolf sneered, its gaze landing on Chu Ge.

This fellow was excessively strong; it was the first time he had seen such a powerful lion.

Probably not an easy opponent!

Too bad!

Bad luck!

A sense of pleasure flickered in Black Wolf's eyes.

He liked killing the strong!
