Survival Arena

Ye Wukong was sent flying and smashed into the ground in an awkward heap.

All eyes turned to the dark object.

It was Arno.

A honey badger that looked quite ordinary, about one meter long, with gray-white hair on its back and the top of its head, while the rest of its body was covered in black fur.

Because of the gray-white color on the top of the honey badger's head, which made it look like a buzzcut, the honey badger was also known as Buzzcut Brother.

"What's all the noise about?"

Arno said impatiently, he glanced at Ye Wukong and then looked towards the others.

His gaze settled on Chu Ge, and his eyes immediately widened.

So muscular!

How many months has it been?

Arno envied him in his heart; he wished to have such a physique himself.

Chu Ge's muscles were clearly not the result of aging—they must have come from hard training.

"Welcome the new team member, his name is Arno. We met him a few months ago in a Survival Competition, where he fell from a height of twenty meters and didn't die on the spot."

Chu Ge smiled as he introduced him to everyone, leaving Nangong, Xiao Poor Thing, and Local Snake in amazement.

Ye Wukong got up from the ground, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Arno.

This guy is so strong!

Arno shook his head and said, "Although I didn't die, I was close to it. I've gotten much stronger now, I can be at the front in future battles."

Ye Wukong snorted, "Can you block bullets?"

Arno glanced at him and said, "Haven't tried, can you?"

Ye Wukong choked, immediately left without words.

Chu Ge ignored their small friction, laughing, "Let's get to know each other for now, we'll be rely on each other in life and death in the future."

Everyone nodded.

After that, Chu Ge left.

Arno looked at his retreating figure, wanting to say something but hesitated.

Gu Tianjiao smiled and said, "What's the matter? You want to spar with him?"

"Of course!" Arno said with high fighting spirit.

Gu Tianjiao shook her head, her smile deep with meaning.

"What do you mean by that?" Arno frowned and asked, sensing he was being looked down upon.

He remembered this lynx.

Back in their university days, she and Lion King were always together, their relationship was not simple.

"Even if your defensive power is strong, you'll have a tough time facing him," Gu Tianjiao said with a laugh, then turned to leave as well.

Arno grew more curious and sought out Nangong to ask what her words meant.

"You think your defensive power is strong? Let's have a fight and see who's tougher," Nangong challenged him.

Listening to Chu Ge, it seemed Arno's persona overlapped with his.

For his position in the team, he had to fight!

Arno asked, "Are you sure?"

Nangong nodded.

The two went to a deserted area, ready to have a fight.

Ye Wukong, Xiao Poor Thing, and Local Snake watched.

"Teach him a lesson! He's too arrogant!" Ye Wukong exclaimed, swinging his fist.

Local Snake muttered, "Buzzcut Brother, now we just need a Hyena to show up, and the three big brothers of Africa will be all here."

...

Chu Ge first shared the news of Arno joining the team with Xiao Hero at the Survival House.

Xiao Hero didn't mind, he said as long as the teammate was strong it was okay, he could wait another round.

To kill forty enemies as if going to his own death was not difficult for him.

After a brief chat, Chu Ge returned to reality with his backpack in tow.

Today was Tuesday, and his parents were at work, with only him at home.

He picked up his phone, went to the living room, ordered some takeout, then lay down on the couch to play with his phone.

Another Survival Competition had passed, he had witnessed life and death, and now he just wanted to relax.

Four people had messaged him during his five days absence.

Chu Yingying, Tang Xuejia, Song Xiaoyu, Chen Xunjie.

His deskmate Chen Xunjie invited him to a class gathering, but unfortunately, the time had already passed.

Song Xiaoyu and Tang Xuejia wanted to ask him out to play, it had already been two days ago.

Chu Yingying had been inquiring about the situation with the lions.

Ever since he saved her, this older sister had an extra concern for lions.

Looking at this situation, would she become a lion keeper in the future?

Chu Ge began to reply one after another.

Chu Yingying was the first to receive a reply from him.

Once the takeout arrived, Chu Ge devoured the food within five minutes.

No sooner had he lain down than another message came from Chu Yingying.

She directly sent dozens of videos about lions.

Chu Ge was speechless.

Could she really be so unscrupulous just because she had Wi-Fi?

Chu Yingying: There's a documentary called 'Ares and Nuosi' above, take a look. The affection between lions is no less than that among humans, it's super touching. Ares is just like the lion that saved me, only not as strong.

...

Strong!

Chu Ge was stunned, suddenly thinking of something.

He immediately scrolled up, clicking on the video to watch.

"Lions are the kings of the African Savannah, they are powerful, they are aggressive, and they are full of emotions..."

An English voice with a London accent came from the video, startling Chu Ge into sitting up straight on the sofa.

He started to watch the video intently, his right hand trembling.

Sweat began to form on his forehead.

He saw his younger self.

He saw Big Hair and Two Hair, and the original lion family.

When he saw himself, Big Hair, and Two Hair in danger, and Lusha and Jenny suddenly appeared, his eyes couldn't help turning red.

Memories surged from the depths of his mind.

His heart melted.

After watching the documentary, he watched it again.

Over and over, he even forgot to reply to Chu Yingying.

Gradually, he grew tired and fell asleep on the sofa.

He had a dream.

He dreamed that he was still roaming the Savannah with Big Hair, adventures coming one after another, relying on each other, saving each other.

Until one day.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, killing Big Hair, and Chu Ge was jolted awake.

"Xiao Ge, you're back. What's wrong, did something scare you just now?"

Han Yujuan stood at the door, smiling as she took off her shoes, thinking it was the sound of the door closing that scared Chu Ge.

Chu Ge shook his head, saying, "No, I'll go wash my face."

He went to the bathroom.

Chu Ge stood in front of the mirror and washed his face with cold water.

Looking at his reflection, he saw Big Hair's lion face instead.

There were two voices in his head.

One told him to go to Africa to find Big Hair.

The other told him not to disturb Big Hair's life.

After all, he wasn't a real lion, he couldn't stay in the Savannah forever, nor could he bring Big Hair to the city.

Yet, he really wanted to know Big Hair's current situation.

The ending of the documentary showed that, after Chu Ge's death, Big Hair stayed by his body for several days before leaving alone.

Big Hair returned to the pride that Chu Ge helped him conquer and became the Lion King.

However, every now and then, Big Hair would return to the place where Chu Ge died, his eyes looking just like a child who had lost a close relative, filled with distress that would break one's heart.

He now had no way to go to the African Savannah.

He thought of Golden Ape Technology Co., Ltd.

Perhaps he could go to Africa through them.

Chu Ge adjusted his emotions, walked out of the bathroom, and then began chatting with Han Yujuan, who was busy in the kitchen.

He excitedly talked about the beautiful scenery he had seen on the mountain recently, showing no signs of sadness.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
