Survival Arena

```

The buffalo under the African Ostrich's feet was sturdy and clearly didn't belong to the high mountain region, it must also be a Survivor.

Ye Wukong swallowed and asked, "That buffalo is huge, it seems this ostrich is not simple, are we going after it?"

Nangong scoffed, "Go after what, have you forgotten that we're not allowed to fight back right now?"

Ye Wukong snapped back to his senses, nearly forgetting about that.

After watching for a while, Chu Ge said, "Let's go!"

He led the way in another direction.

With so many people in their group, the African Ostrich wouldn't dare to mess with them.

Gu Tianjiao gave the African Ostrich a deep look, didn't say much, and followed them away.

The African Ostrich was eating rapidly, tearing off large chunks of flesh with each bite.

Suddenly, it looked up in the direction of Chu Ge and the others.

The two groups were hundreds of meters apart, with the ostrich on the plains below the mountain and Chu Ge's group on the hillside.

It bobbed its head comically, looking very foolish.

Whoosh—

It charged at Chu Ge and his team like an arrow shot from a bow, moving at great speed.

Gu Tianjiao was on her guard, and upon seeing it charge, she immediately shouted, "Run for it!"

The rest were startled too and ran for their lives at full speed.

Chu Ge's mind raced, thinking quickly.

The African Ostrich was fast, he could escape, but Nangong and Ye Wukong would have a hard time getting away.

He immediately yelled, "Run for what! Stop!"

After saying that, he turned and charged towards the African Ostrich.

He swiftly activated his Geothermal ability, his body's temperature rose rapidly, turning red-hot at a speed visible to the naked eye, steam swirling around him, displaying an overwhelming dominance.

The African Ostrich's eyes widened, evidently encountering such a Survival Talent for the first time.

Chu Ge's speed surged, unstoppable.

The African Ostrich hesitated for a moment, then abruptly hit the brakes and turned to run.

Chu Ge didn't stop pursuing, with a determination that suggested he wouldn't rest until he caught it.

The African Ostrich was frightened by his speed and accelerated wildly.

Elsewhere.

Gu Tianjiao and the other three watched the scene in silence.

After a long while.

Nangong exclaimed with a sigh, "Who would have thought the boss would fall under the Never Fight Back Rule."

Xiao Poor Thing said, "Stop dreaming, if it were you, that ostrich would definitely have sped up, it would never run away."

Nangong: "…"

Eventually, Chu Ge 'reluctantly' gave up the chase.

"Stupid lion, you think you can catch me? Let me tell you, I'm the leader of 'I Want to Defy the Heavens'! You wait for your death! I'll tear you to shreds sooner or later!"

The African Ostrich taunted as it looked back, extremely proud of itself, even stomping its foot powerfully against the ground, causing the earth to crack.

Chu Ge gave it a cold glance and ran back to his teammates.

"Idiot! Big idiot! Are you so angry that your liver hurts? Come on, bite me!"

"Come here! I'm standing right here, waiting for you to bite me!"

"You're not even as fast as when you're on the bed!"

The African Ostrich kept on taunting, reveling in its triumph.

Chu Ge was speechless; he wasn't angered but rather felt like laughing.

After he had gone far away, the African Ostrich also left.

On the summit of a distant mountain, a group of animals observed the scene.

Leading them was an extremely robust Gray Wolf, standing one meter at the shoulder with distinctly muscular lines on its back and cold eyes.

On either side of it stood the American Leopard, Crocodile, Cobra, Tibetan Mastiff, Leopard, Porcupine, Jackal, and Antelope.

"Boss, what on earth is up with that lion?" the Tibetan Mastiff asked in a deep voice, fear evident in its eyes.

He even doubted his own eyes.

Was that a superpower?

Gray Wolf replied coldly, "Just a survival talent that covers the whole body. Such a talent consumes a lot of physical strength. Once we surround him, he'll quickly run out of energy."

The Cobra, flicking its tongue, asked, "Leader, should we, the Southern Assassins, make our move?"

The other Survivors' eyes flickered with eagerness, ready to charge at Chu Ge and his companions at Gray Wolf's command.

"We won't go after them. Only the Lion in that team is formidable; we can leave them for later and let that Lion exhaust more energy. Let's hunt the Roaring Tiger Group and Poisonous Poppy first. Let's find the Roaring Tiger Group; I've caught the scent of a tiger!"

Gray Wolf shook his head and, having said that, turned to walk in a different direction.

The other Survivors had no objections, following his command without question.

Suddenly, Gray Wolf quickened his pace, and the other members of the Southern Assassins sped up as well.

Their speed was fast, and they quickly disappeared over the other side of the High Mountain.

...

Chu Ge returned to his team.

Gu Tianjiao looked into the distance and said softly, "There are scents of nine Survivors, very dangerous, but fortunately, they've left."

Chu Ge turned to look back but could no longer see the figures of the Southern Assassins.

"Boss, when you use your Survival Talent, it seems like no one dares to confront you!" Ye Wukong said admiringly.

Chu Ge's charge at the African Ostrich just now was indeed too imposing!

Chu Ge shook his head and smiled, "Let's go. With the way things are, some of us are bound to die before the end."

At those words, the expressions on Nangong, Ye Wukong, and Xiao Poor Thing stiffened.

They themselves had no confidence in surviving till the end.

Chu Ge led them toward areas without accumulated snow.

Without snow, his geothermal effect would be even stronger.

For the next while, they did not encounter any other Survivors.

Soon, the Never Fight Back Rule ended.

"Survival Team 'Suicide' cancels the Never Fight Back Rule!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, they had all been nervous, fearing that a Survivor might suddenly leap out.

"Roar—"

Suddenly, a tiger's roar came from behind them, startling them into looking back, but they saw no sign of a tiger.

"It must be on the other side of the mountain. The Roaring Tiger Group is in a fight. There are many scents; they've met another large team," Gu Tianjiao said, her brow furrowed.

Anyone daring to challenge the Roaring Tiger Group must also be a strong team.

This was both good and bad news for them.

The continuous tiger roars kept the High Mountain region filled with a thrilling atmosphere.

"Let's go, let's keep our distance from here," Chu Ge instructed as he looked ahead.

At the end of the world, there stood a massive High Mountain, soaring into the clouds like a pillar holding up the sky.

Whoosh—

As the wind sounded, everyone looked up to see a Bald Eagle flying overhead.

It landed on a dead tree next to the group.

"The Roaring Tiger Group has clashed with the Southern Assassins; their leaders both have extraordinary Survival Talents that surpass Two Stars. You'd best avoid them," the Bald Eagle said, staring at Chu Ge and completely disregarding the other four.

Chu Ge frowned and asked, "Stronger than you?"

The Bald Eagle shook its head, "I'm not sure, but they each have eight subordinates; I certainly couldn't handle them."

Extraordinary Survival Talents?

Nangong, Ye Wukong, and Xiao Poor Thing were scared.

"Who's stronger between the Roaring Tiger Group and the Southern Assassins? What are the casualties so far?" Gu Tianjiao pressed on.

The Bald Eagle glanced at her and coldly replied, "It's a close match; no casualties yet. You all should leave quickly. Also, Poisonous Poppy is targeting you as well. The Silverback Gorilla comes from Poisonous Poppy. Among them, there are Survivors who can track scents; they might find you by tonight."
