Survival Arena

Midnight.

Surrounded by Gu Tianjiao, Xiao Poor Thing, Arno, and Xiao Hero, Chu Ge was the center of four pairs of expectant eyes, and he felt very awkward.

"How much longer are you going to stare at me?"

Chu Ge couldn't help but ask, feeling like he was truly an animal.

Plus, with the previous awkwardness, he always felt that these guys were looking at his butt.

Gu Tianjiao snorted, "We're worried about you, afraid you might suddenly kick the bucket."

Xiao Poor Thing asked, "Leader, do you feel yourself getting stronger?"

Arno and Xiao Hero also looked eagerly at Chu Ge, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Just feeling very warm, no signs of getting stronger for the time being."

Chu Ge responded, which, unlike the two unconventional survival substances he had eaten before, reacted too slowly.

Gu Tianjiao laughed, "If it helps, our 'Suicide' strength can increase, and with so many stones, we can still pick up more tomorrow."

The other three nodded, all showing a look of longing.

There are many legends about unconventional survival substances within Survival City, almost blowing it out of proportion.

For those without Survival Talent, unconventional survival substances are unknown treasures to them.

Chu Ge continued to lie down.

One hour.

Two hours.

The heat source within him began to dissipate, and at the same time, he felt his skin and flesh tighten.

"Your skin cells have been enhanced!"

An indifferent female voice suddenly sounded.

Chu Ge was stunned, then quickly called up the Attribute Panel in his mind.

…

1560 defensive power!

He had not exchanged for defensive power enhancement before, so there was no display of these values.

His exchanged Muscle Strengthening skewed towards strength, and did not significantly enhance defensive power.

A muscle-bound man is still afraid of knives.

Chu Ge estimated that defensive power might have increased by about a thousand.

With his condition, defensive power should not be too bad, it should have a value of about five hundred.

Chu Ge suppressed the surprise and shared the news.

Gu Tianjiao, Xiao Poor Thing, Arno, and Xiao Hero immediately grew excited.

"How about this, the deputy leader and Xiao Poor Thing eat first; you two guard us. Once they are done, my physical strength should have recovered, and then you can eat," Chu Ge suggested.

All four had no objections to this proposal.

Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing immediately started gnawing on the Deep Blue Stones.

A thousand defensive power!

Equivalent to two Lv3 defensive power Single Attribute enhancements!

This time.

Not even half an hour later, Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing showed reactions.

Chu Ge was vexed, wondering what was going on.

Am I weaker than them?

Impossible!

Arno and Xiao Hero looked at him in surprise, clearly sharing his confusion.

Chu Ge said irritably, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Perhaps it was the influence of Raging Flame Separation.

It could also be that the proportion of unconventional survival substance components contained in the stones differed.

```

"This thing is just right for me, I need to grab more of it tomorrow."

Arno said excitedly, seldom looking like this, resembling Pig Brother.

Xiao Hero shook his head, "By tomorrow, it's probably all gone."

"We'll see tomorrow when we become the Ghost Team."

"What if we don't get the chance to become the Ghost Team tomorrow?"

"Then I'll still go, fortune favours the brave."

Chu Ge turned his gaze towards Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing, who were suffering just like he had earlier, with stomach pains and trembling limbs.

Could they also have diarrhea?

Chu Ge revealed a schadenfreude expression.

A little while later.

"We'll step out for a moment, you're not allowed to come over!"

Gu Tianjiao got up and left after dropping those words, with Xiao Poor Thing quickly following.

A lynx and a Teddy dog tremblingly departed, running towards the distant trees.

Arno asked, "Should we really not follow them? What if there are enemies lurking..."

Chu Ge looked at him strangely, asking with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Is that really what you're thinking? For them, face is more important than life."

Arno immediately felt embarrassed.

He hadn't thought of that, just instinctively asked.

Xiao Hero snorted, "You speak without thinking."

Arno, annoyed and embarrassed, almost pounced at him.

Although these two guys rarely interacted, Chu Ge could sense the sparks between them.

Basic!

Instincts!

More than twenty minutes later, Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing returned.

They were trembling in their limbs too but seemed to be in much better shape than Chu Ge had been earlier.

Previously, Chu Ge couldn't even walk.

The two women quickly rejoined the team.

"I've increased my defensive power by more than one thousand five hundred points," Gu Tianjiao said with a smile.

Xiao Poor Thing added, "I've enhanced my defensive power by a little over two thousand points."

They were both very excited.

They hadn't focused on defense, so they didn't expect their defensive power to take off today.

Chu Ge asked in surprise, "How come it's different for everyone?"

Gu Tianjiao analyzed, "It probably really has to do with our constitutions and the proportion of ingredients in the stone. No matter what, it's great that everyone can become stronger."

She didn't feel down, even though she didn't gain as much as Xiao Poor Thing, she still gained five hundred more points in defensive power than Chu Ge.

Chu Ge nodded, then stood up and said to Arno and Xiao Hero, "Your turn."

The two had been impatient and immediately grabbed the pre-selected deep blue stones and started gnawing on them.

Chu Ge moved next to Gu Tianjiao and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Gu Tianjiao smiled, her eyes like two crescent moons.

She said teasingly, "Are you concerned about me?"

"Yeah, the deputy team leader dying from diarrhea, that'd really reflect poorly on me."

"Tch!"

Xiao Poor Thing, seeing them start to flirt, rolled her eyes and tactfully walked away.

After a while, Arno and Xiao Hero managed to swallow their respective deep blue stones.

Just like Chu Ge, they had to wait a while before feeling the effects.

Stomach pains!

Diarrhea!

They tasted the same agony.

During this time, no Survivors passed by, which was a relief for them.

It wasn't until past five in the morning that Arno and Xiao Hero finished transforming.

Their defensive power had also been enhanced.

Arno's defensive power increased by nearly three thousand points, while Xiao Hero, like Chu Ge, gained a little over a thousand.

It seemed the issue was really with Chu Ge's Survival Talent.

The two lay on the ground to rest, both feeling very exhilarated.

They decided they must check it out again tomorrow.

If just a small piece of stone could bring such great effects, what would the whole big stone do?

They were incredibly excited.

"If Emperor Luosheng ate most of it, wouldn't he be as tough as an Indestructible Body?" Arno wondered aloud, clearly not content.

He was still thinking about defeating Emperor Luosheng!

Now, the gap had become a chasm.
