"Awoo—"

Wolf howls from the distance made the night even more terrifying.

General Lie Hao shuddered upon hearing them and said in a low voice, "Do you feel as though these cries sound like wails?"

Xiao Poor Thing calmly replied, "That seems likely, the number of voices is increasing, and who knows what kind of danger they have encountered."

She appeared composed, but her voice was trembling.

Beastly roars came from all around, sounding extremely horrifying.

At that time, Chu Ge arrived with Big Hair, Daddy's Silhouette, and Arno from deeper within.

"How is the situation?"

Chu Ge asked, he was also very nervous.

If they died, it was very likely a total team wipeout!

Xiao Poor Thing answered, "There's no danger for now."

Chu Ge continued, "Local Snake, do you want to burrow into the soil?"

Local Snake was Earthworm, and at this critical moment, he could be used as a trump card.

"Sure, I've been waiting for this moment! Prepare to lie back and win!" Earthworm popped out from General Lie Hao's hair and said with a proud laugh.

General Lie Hao then raised his hand, leaned against the cave wall, and let Earthworm crawl in.

"Go inside, if the entrance collapses later, he might be in danger," Chu Ge reminded.

General Lie Hao immediately entered the tunnel.

Chu Ge followed and came beside Xiao Poor Thing, looking down.

The heavy rain was relentless; the forest was shrouded in mist, making it very difficult to see anything. All the trees and bushes were swaying. If an enemy was lurking and approaching, it would be very hard to spot.

Chu Ge wanted to sniff the air, but the rain had washed away all the scents in the forest.

It was indeed harsh weather.

"Should we fall back a bit? We have to guard the entrance anyway; we don't have to be this forward. We can retreat to prevent our eyes from giving away our position. At the same time, when the enemy enters the tunnel, it will be convenient for us to stop them. If we stay here, we might face a situation where we are outnumbered," Daddy's Silhouette suggested. Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing sticking their heads out was simply too dangerous.

Chu Ge thought that made sense and then retreated.

Xiao Poor Thing followed suit.

The tunnel was just big enough for two people to fit through with difficulty. If General Lie Hao and Daddy's Silhouette were to try, they wouldn't be able to stand shoulder to shoulder.

Soon, General Lie Hao returned and said in a low voice, "As soon as Local Snake touched the soil, he burrowed right in, so fast, just like that thing meeting that other thing."

Xiao Poor Thing asked, "What thing with what thing?"

General Lie Hao chuckled but didn't explain.

Chu Ge made room, allowing General Lie Hao to come forward.

The other members also arrived one after another.

Chi Lian climbed onto General Lie Hao's back, serving as a weapon.

Xiao Poor Thing bumped into General Lie Hao and huffed, "Move over a bit!"

General Lie Hao shifted to the side, pressing himself against the cave wall.

Chu Ge, Daddy's Silhouette, Big Hair, Gu Tianjiao, Xiao Hero, and An Xiuluo lined up behind.

Chu Ge looked back and said, "Xiao Hero, An Xiuluo, you two stay at the bottom of the tunnel. It won't be good if an enemy burrows through the soil and comes in."

The two had no objections and immediately turned to retreat.

"That being said, we need to guard the various corners of the tunnel too," Gu Tianjiao hesitated.

Chu Ge shook his head, "We just have so many people, can't cover that much. If there are enemies in the middle, they will be caught in a pincer attack."

Gu Tianjiao nodded.

The two stopped talking, and everyone remained silent, quietly waiting.

The sound of rain varied in intensity, and everyone, devoid of sleepiness, maintained a high level of alertness.

Every half hour, there would be an alert about teams being eliminated.

The cold wind penetrated through the cave entrance, bone-chillingly cold.

Xiao Poor Thing couldn't help but shiver.

"Want me to take over?" Arno asked.

Xiao Poor Thing did not insist on being strong and immediately made way.

Arno specialized in the defensive tank route and certainly wasn't afraid of a little cold wind.

"Roar—"

A sudden roar from the foot of the mountain startled everyone, causing them to shudder.

Here it comes!

General Lie Hao tensed his body, ready for battle.

Even the sound of heavy rain couldn't muffle the sounds of fighting coming from the base of the mountain.

Seconds ticked by.

A whole half-hour passed without the sounds of fighting or any monsters or Survivors breaking in.

The group couldn't help but relax again.

About another twenty minutes passed.

Suddenly, an Australian Wild Dog jumped up, attempting to enter the cave.

General Lie Hao raised his fist, ready to strike.

The Australian Wild Dog got a big scare and quickly jumped back.

"Brothers! Don't hit me! I absolutely won't harm you, I also want to hide till the end!" the Australian Wild Dog called out.

Its body withdrew, once again facing the onslaught of the rain.

General Lie Hao sneered, "Then come on in!"

In the Survival Competition, being kind to others was cruel to oneself!

The Australian Wild Dog, wary, asked, "Are you really not going to kill me? There's a huge monster army approaching this place. Let me in, please. I can fight alongside you all. If I try anything funny, with so many of you, you could easily tear me apart!"

It spoke in an anxious tone, glancing back from time to time.

General Lie Hao frowned.

Arno turned to look at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge whispered, "You can come in, but you have to stand in front of us, back turned to us. We can only give you that much space."

Hearing this, the Australian Wild Dog hesitated.

Strange roars came from the base of the mountain, scaring it so much that it hurriedly jumped in.

"If it's a matter of dying anyway, brothers, I'll just trust you guys once!"

The Australian Wild Dog whispered, quickly turning around with its back to the cave entrance.

Chu Ge could clearly see its body trembling.

It was indeed very scared.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

After a while.

A shadow swiftly passed by the mouth of the cave, rattling the bushes, making everyone's hearts tighten.

They didn't dare to utter a sound, including the Australian Wild Dog.

Then, a head peeked out from outside the cave entrance, followed by the rest of the body.

Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger!

Upon seeing the Survivors in the cave, it immediately roared.

Damn it!

We've been discovered!

"Get ready to fight!" Chu Ge immediately yelled, standing up.

Since they had been discovered, there was no use in hiding any longer!

"Bro! Can you come next to me? We can fight the monsters together!" the Australian Wild Dog cried out in fear.

General Lie Hao hesitated for a moment but then stepped forward.

Chu Ge followed suit, pushing Arno aside and facing the Australian Wild Dog himself.

If this guy dared to make a wrong move, Chu Ge was ready to tear it apart swiftly! Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

It wasn't long before more Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers appeared at the entrance. Only when there were enough of them did they rush in like madness.

"Damn it! There are so many!"

General Lie Hao spat out a mouthful of water, then swung his fist to strike.

The Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger at the front was beaten back.

The Australian Wild Dog lunged at another Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger, furiously biting and tearing.

It seemed to harbor no ill will; it merely wanted to survive.

The battle began!

General Lie Hao and the Australian Wild Dog blocked the onslaught of the Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger Group.

Chi Lian was on General Lie Hao's shoulder, striking from time to time, biting at the Sharp-toothed Serpent Tigers, retreating after each bite.

Chu Ge and Arno tensed their muscles, ready to step in at any moment.
