Survival Arena

He disdainfully cursed, and then he swam past the cruise ship and left.

A drunkard threw a bottle at him, nearly hitting his head.

He was completely enraged.

He dived immediately.

The drunkard, clutching the railing with a flushed face, murmured, "Where's the dolphin... swam away... just like that bitch ran away... the whole world has abandoned me..."

The more he talked, the more pitiful and aggrieved he felt, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Just then, a dolphin's head emerged from the sea near the cruise ship—it was Chu Ge.

Chu Ge opened his mouth slightly and sprayed a stream of water, soaking the drunkard's face.

"Ah..."

The drunkard fumbled around, fell on his butt, and drew laughter from the others.

Chu Ge gave a satisfied smile, dived into the water, and quickly slipped away.

This little escapade didn't affect Chu Ge's Survival Competition.

He continued on his way.

The appearance of such a cruise ship indicated that the coastline was not far off.

The sky gradually darkened.

Nighttime was the wild time for wild creatures.

The number of marine animals surged, with various fish species coming out to be active.

As Chu Ge swam forward, he also ate, quite merrily at that.

A whole night passed.

He still hadn't encountered any Survivors.

The time came to the third day.

By now, the tips from the Survival Arena were less frequent, suggesting that meeting other Survivors was also becoming less likely.

The only thing that reassured him was that Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing hadn't been killed yet.

Eight in the morning.

Chu Ge saw the coastline; ahead was a sandy beach teeming with tourists playing.

He didn't go forward because there was a large net strung up to prevent large fish from surging into the human recreation area.

However, some small marine creatures could pass through along with the fishing net, such as crabs, jellyfish, sardines, etc.

"Truly an excellent refuge for the weak."

Chu Ge sighed. Hiding here, humans wouldn't fish and they could also avoid predation by large fish.

He scanned the surroundings and suddenly saw a shark fin hundreds of meters away on the sea surface.

"Tsk tsk, if that guy charges over, it will turn into a horror movie."

Chu Ge said with a smile, recalling that many horror movies about sharks seemed to start like this, with the shark swimming into the shallow waters to devour people.

After watching for a while, he turned and left.

He swam along the coastline, looking to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.

Half an hour later, he suddenly saw a giant lobster floating on the water's surface.

The lobster was pinching a large fish with blue-green stripes, nibbling on it gently, just like a person would.

It appeared to be a Survivor.

Chu Ge's thoughts stirred; he didn't act immediately but changed color and circled around the giant lobster.

Soon, he saw a massive object hiding in the seabed's sand and stones.

It was a huge octopus, its tentacles spread open like a giant flower buried in the sand and stones, measuring seven to eight meters in diameter.

If one didn't look carefully, it was hard to notice.

"It's indeed a trap."

Chu Ge thought to himself, starting to weigh the chances of him killing that giant octopus.

If he were entangled by an octopus or cuttlefish, it would be difficult for him to do anything.

He suddenly envied Gu Tianjiao.

Gu Tianjiao could easily bring about an enemy's demise with just one bite.

He hesitated for a while, but ultimately decided to give up.

After he left, a small shark swam over.

The small shark didn't notice the huge octopus at the bottom of the sea and headed straight for the lobster.

Boom!

The giant octopus erupted from the ground, kicking up billowing sands, and the small shark, just about to touch the lobster, got entangled in the octopus's tentacles and was violently dragged down.

Then a surge of fresh blood rose up.

...

The ocean was vast and beautiful. In the absence of other survivors, Chu Ge treated himself as if on vacation.

At noon, he surfaced to discern his direction.

Suddenly, he saw three birds of prey fighting high in the sky.

They were too far away for him to make out their species, but they seemed quite large.

"Tsk tsk, arenas are everywhere."

He thought to himself, suddenly feeling that being in the ocean wasn't so bad.

If he were a bird of prey, he'd also face the danger of falling.

In the ocean, if he were injured, he could just stop and rest, very comfortably.

After watching the battle for a while, and once the three birds of prey had dispersed, Chu Ge continued on his way.

"Survivor 'Xiao Poor Thing' from 'Suicide' has successfully hunted an enemy, you have earned 50 Survival Points!"

The indifferent female voice suddenly rang out, leaving Chu Ge stunned.

Xiao Poor Thing had started killing enemies?

Well, that made sense, considering Xiao Poor Thing was now a huge Batfish.

He had now accumulated 1,700 Survival Points, not bad at all.

If he survived until the end of the Survival Competition, he'd get another 400 Survival Points.

One way or another, he had to survive until the end this time.

This would be a great opportunity for 'Suicide' to soar.

"Survival Team 'Olympus Pantheon' has successfully hunted ten enemies!"

Another prompt sounded, making Chu Ge curious.

Olympus Pantheon, the third-ranked Survival Team!

They were only beginning to wield their power now?

This was the team ranked even higher than Atlantis.

'Suicide' was close to taking ten lives as well, comparatively speaking, their progress seemed a bit slow.

Of course, the strength of the enemies each team encountered varied, so it wasn't quite fair to compare directly.

Chu Ge suddenly thought of the top-ranked team, 'Sky Palace'.

Just how strong was Sky Palace?

The number one on the individual leaderboard, 'Evil Dragon,' came from Sky Palace!

Ever since Chu Ge entered the Survival Arena, neither Evil Dragon nor Sky Palace's rankings had ever dropped.

The second place always fluctuated, but the first remained steady as Mount Tai.

He wondered when he would be able to break into the leaderboard.

Lost in thought, Chu Ge dived back into the ocean, following the current.

After swimming for two hours, he decided to stop and wait for a while.

Constantly swimming wasn't a solution.

Maybe Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing would find him if he waited.

...

In the coral zone, Gu Tianjiao moved slowly, with Xiao Poor Thing above her, casting a shadow as vast as the sky.

"Vice-captain, shouldn't we go look for the captain?"

Xiao Poor Thing asked, her tone a bit excited because she had hunted an enemy.

She had tasted blood!

Gu Tianjiao replied, "The Pacific Ocean is too massive. Why look for him? He can survive on his own just fine. We're slower than him, and we might just slow him down if we find him. Better to focus on staying alive, and if all else fails, he'll still be there at the end."

If Chu Ge heard this, he would surely spit blood.

And to think he was still waiting for them!

"Right, the captain can keep killing enemies on his own, he's much stronger than us," Xiao Poor Thing agreed, admiring Chu Ge greatly.

Gu Tianjiao, hearing her admiration, teased, "Don't tell me you've fallen for him?"

"Ah? How could I? No, vice-captain, don't talk nonsense," Xiao Poor Thing said in a fluster.

Gu Tianjiao neither confirmed nor denied, continuing forward.

"Vice-captain, do you like the captain?" Xiao Poor Thing couldn't help but ask.

In the eyes of her and the other members, it seemed obvious.

Being able to take out five thousand Survival Points all at once, if not for love, then what?

"Impossible. We can't afford to fall in love in the Survival Arena; that would only bring trouble. The moment we became survivors, we lost the right to have love," Gu Tianjiao huffed, as always adhering to her ruthless persona.
