Survival Arena

After resting for quite a while, Chu Ge finally felt somewhat better, but his head was still very heavy.

Chu Ge lay on the ground, looking towards the lake surface, and asked, "Did anything happen while I was unconscious?"

Gu Tianjiao laughed and said, "No, you can rest assured on that account, this place is indeed very safe."

Xiao Poor Thing continued, "There shouldn't have been any monster attacks, unless it's an amphibious creature."

No sooner had she spoken than everyone glared at her, and she quickly shut up.

What a jinx...

Her words had suddenly made everyone uneasy again.

Could it be that the troublesome two-headed monster would appear again?

Chu Ge was already unable to ignite a flame, and they would not be able to defeat a two-headed monster.

"It's actually possible..." Chi Lian muttered.

Daddy's Silhouette and Arno immediately approached the edge of the lake to look down into it.

The water was clear, and if any monsters approached, they would be able to see them in advance.

That was indeed a good thing.

No need to worry about being ambushed.

"Let's keep going with two people in a team, guarding the lakeside, to prevent any monster attacks," Gu Tianjiao ordered.

With Chu Ge out of commission, it was up to her, the deputy team leader, to give commands.

Daddy's Silhouette and Arno were the first to go on guard.

Chu Ge really wanted to sleep, but there was not much time left, and he had to stay awake.

"Survival Team 'Suicide' member Local Snake successfully annihilated 'Insect Family' Survival Team, earning an additional 500 Survival Points for the entire team!"

"Survival Team 'Suicide' has successfully annihilated the 'Insect Family' Survival Team!"

Everyone was stunned.

Local Snake?

Xiao Poor Thing exclaimed in amazement, "Awesome, to find such a loophole?"

Just hearing 'Insect Family,' you know it's all bugs, and for that size, Local Snake did indeed pose a threat.

Chi Lian laughed, "Even Local Snake is still fighting, we can't get eliminated."

Daddy's Silhouette shouted, "We'll have to make that guy treat us, he might have racked up tens of thousands of Survival Points by now."

This announcement instantly relaxed the team's tense atmosphere.

Since Ye Wukong sent him to a sub-team, Local Snake became the main team's source of joy.

Think about Local Snake whenever facing tough times.

If even he was still alive, why shouldn't they fight to survive?

They couldn't lose to an earthworm!

Chu Ge revealed a smile.

He was really looking forward to seeing how far Local Snake could grow in the future.

Not only was Local Snake securing the bottom line for the team, but he could also earn points, which was indeed great.

Time kept passing.

The water remained calm, but everyone was becoming more and more tense.

"Only two hours left," Xiao Poor Thing said.

Two hours!

Arno cursed under his breath, "That long? I thought we had only half an hour left..."

All they could do was patiently wait.

Apart from Local Snake, there were no other survival notifications.

It was as if they were the only survivors left on the Mysterious Islands.

Chu Ge's heartbeat started to quicken.

He always grew excited with barely any time left in the Survival Competition.

In such a situation, his mental state also began to recover.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

Forty minutes.

An hour!

When there was just one hour left, Xiao Poor Thing reminded everyone aloud.

She and Gu Tianjiao intended to switch shifts, but Daddy's Silhouette and Arno refused.

"We're fine, not tired, it's more reassuring to be here," Daddy's Silhouette said.

Gu Tianjiao replied tersely, "Forget it, you're so big, aren't you just attracting monsters? You guys fall back; it's a good time to rest. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, we'll have to rely on you. We smaller creatures can only keep moving."

Daddy's Silhouette and Arno looked at each other, seeing the sense in her words, and retreated.

Gu Tianjiao lay by the lake, and Chi Lian moved closer as well.

The group continued to wait.

Chu Ge's physical strength had recovered quite a bit, and he could now walk about.

He didn't continue to rest; instead, he began to warm up.

He had a feeling that it wouldn't end this easily.

There's definitely going to be a battle behind us!

Seeing Chu Ge warming up, the others also started their warm-ups, not daring to take it lightly.

About ten more minutes passed.

Dong——

All of them heard a bell sound suddenly ring out, startling everyone.

Chu Ge couldn't help but curse, "Fuck."

This scene...

Isn't this the competition reminder from Tokyo?

Every midnight at twelve, there would be the sound of a bell, along with various blood-boiling noises of fighting, enough to throw everyone into high alert.

The others also recalled the battle of Tokyo.

"It's over... It's over..." Xiao Poor Thing stamped her feet anxiously.

Arno cursed, "As expected, there are special rules, aren't we sitting ducks now?"

"Everyone, don't panic, it's not certain yet, the Mysterious Islands are so huge," Gu Tianjiao said.

The bell sound grew louder and more urgent, causing terror to grip their hearts.

All of them gathered by the lake, watchfully staring into the depths.

"Arno, can you dig holes?" Chu Ge asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Arno, speechless, said, "I am a Honey Badger, do Honey Badgers dig holes?"

"Aren't your claws pretty long?"

"Ugh... I'll try then..."

Arno turned and left.

Xiao Poor Thing laughed, saying, "That guy's body sure is honest."

Chu Ge also shook his head and smiled wryly.

Yet the bell sound continued without cease, keeping the team's tension from completely dissipating.

"There's something at the bottom of the lake, move back quickly, so we don't get spotted!"

Chi Lian suddenly said, startling everyone into reflexively retreating.

While retreating, Gu Tianjiao asked, "What is it?"

"Seems to be the Mosasaur we saw earlier, it's huge!" Chi Lian replied rapidly.

The Mosasaur!

Everyone hurriedly turned and quickly fled toward the cave wall, keeping their distance from the lake's surface.

Arno, who was preparing to dig, got scared and looked back.

The bell sound was too loud, so he didn't hear his teammates' voices.

"The Mosasaur is coming!" Chu Ge called out.

Arno shuddered with fright.

He started to dig faster.

All of them pressed against the cave wall, each one clamping their mouths shut, not daring to make a sound.

The lake's surface began to stir, clearly something was coming up.

Everyone was on edge.

From such a distance, the Mosasaur couldn't possibly leap up, could it?

They feared that the Mosasaur was controlled, and they would end up in a fight to the death with it.

Such a massive creature leaping up could smash them to death.

Seconds and minutes passed.

The Mosasaur did not surface from the lake.

The bell sound still didn't end, as if the Grim Reaper was tolling the bell.

About ten minutes later, the lake's surface calmed down again.

Xiao Poor Thing let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed the Mosasaur had left.

Boom——

The lake's surface suddenly exploded, and a gigantic creature surged upwards.

It was the Mosasaur!

With its gaping maw open wide, it sought to swallow Chu Ge and the others in one bite.

It slammed heavily onto the ground, its sharp teeth less than three meters from Chu Ge and the others.

Considering they were more than thirty meters away from the lake, it was clear how powerfully the Mosasaur had jumped.

"Damn, you scared me!"

Daddy's Silhouette exclaimed, wanting to rush over and kick the Mosasaur, but as the creature continued to thrash, he hastily retreated.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, the Mosasaur struggled forwards, sadly to no avail.

Before long, it twisted and shrank back into the lake.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It could do that?
