Chapter 268: Assemble the Strongest Line-Up
After dawn, the searching efforts within the park area decreased.
Chu Ge and Gu Tianjiao were able to relax a bit.
However, they did not let their guard down; they began to wait for an opportunity.
With Gu Tianjiao's poison, anyone bitten by her would almost certainly be doomed.
"Can you stay here by yourself?"
Chu Ge suddenly asked. Although he could change color, his body was too large and would sooner or later be discovered.
Gu Tianjiao was different; with a bit of caution, she could easily remain in such a park.
"Then you go on out, and don't act rashly. Think it over calmly first," Gu Tianjiao said with a nod.
Last night was an accident; she hadn't expected the Tokyo Police Officers to be so formidable.
Chu Ge took a deep breath and asked, "Will you still be here when I come back to find you?"
Gu Tianjiao rolled her eyes and said, "Do you expect me to wait here forever? Don't worry, it's not a life-or-death farewell. We'll see each other again, and even if we don't, we'll meet at the Team Cultivation Hall in six days."
Having heard this, Chu Ge stopped being sentimental and got up to leave.
Without any difficulties, he easily escaped from the park area.
He turned around and roared towards the park's main gate. This time, he used all his strength, his voice loud and strained, startling everyone and every animal inside the park.
Even passing drivers were frightened, instinctively turning their steering wheels and crashing right into a tree on the sidewalk.
Chu Ge smiled and quickly fled the scene.
Soon, a group of security guards rushed out of the park's main gate, but it was too late to catch a glimpse of Chu Ge.
Chu Ge raced along the roads, enjoying the caress of the wind.
He did not attempt to hide, which scared the drivers of the vehicles coming and going on the road.
He heard cries of alarm but paid no attention.
It was the fourth day.
Since all of Tokyo had already begun a widespread hunt for wild animals, as long as he was fast enough, humans wouldn't be able to catch him.
If he were too slow, even with utmost caution, humans would find him.
"Survival Team 'Rashomon' has successfully annihilated 'Salt of the Earth'!"
The dispassionate female voice rang out, something Chu Ge was already accustomed to.
Compared to their time on the Loess Plateau, Rashomon was now in a slump.
Back then, Emperor Luosheng would wipe out several Survival Teams in a single day.
Chu Ge continued forward, heading for the city center of Tokyo City.
With so many survivors captured here, the search effort in the suburbs was bound to be even greater.
According to normal logic, animals would stay away from humans, especially from human cities.
The Survivors were likely to do the opposite.
To use an old saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
...
Behind a temple.
Chu Ge lay under a large tree, in front of a huge stone statue.
He was staring at a rabbit.
This rabbit was grazing on the slope next to the temple. Although it behaved just like a real rabbit, Chu Ge was not convinced.
The reason was simple.
The creature's claws were as sharp as blades, having just smoothed a stone to dig up sweet potatoes from the soil.
"It seems this guy's senses aren't very sharp; it hasn't even noticed me,"
Chu Ge thought silently, maintaining his color-changing state. He had waited for an hour here before this rabbit appeared.
The reason he had chosen this spot was that he overheard Chinese tourists saying that there were many smart rabbits on the mountain.
In such an environment, there were bound to be rabbit Survivors hiding.
And sure enough!
After squatting for an hour, he had finally found a Survivor.
Perhaps because it had encountered no danger in the past four days, the rabbit was very bold, not bothering to hide its Survival Skills when no one was around.
Besides having razor-sharp claws, its reflexes and jumping abilities were impressive.
Despite being the size of an ordinary house cat, it could jump vertically up to one and a half meters. With a little leverage, it could probably easily climb up a tall building.
Chu Ge patiently waited.
He had estimated that if he suddenly moved from five meters away, the rabbit would definitely escape.
The rabbit leisurely dug at the soil, its focused appearance as if it were unearthing treasures.
After a while.
The rabbit suddenly looked up and innocently asked, "Buddy, aren't you tired of lying there?"
A male voice.
The voice wasn't pleasant to the ear.
Chu Ge was stunned.
Damn!
This guy is playing me for a fool!
Chu Ge was about to explode but then he calmed down again.
What if this guy was deceiving him?
Just then, the rabbit suddenly jumped onto the trunk next to it, kicked off with its legs swiftly, and quickly climbed up the tree, reaching three meters above the ground.
Its movements were so fast that Chu Ge beneath the tree couldn't react in time.
It turned to look down at Chu Ge and laughed, "Buddy, I can really see you, stop pretending."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge had no choice but to exit his color-changing state. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
He looked up at the rabbit and sighed, "If you discovered me earlier, why did you pretend?"
"Because you look strong, I wanted to recruit you," the rabbit said with a weird grin.
Its appearance and voice were seriously mismatched, making Chu Ge feel uncomfortable.
"Forget it."
Chu Ge shook his head, and after speaking, he got up and left.
If he couldn't catch the rabbit, then give up.
No time to delay!
"Hey! Wait! Don't think of me as just a rabbit. I have someone backing me up. Hang with me, and in the four stars, five stars Coliseum, you'll be covered!" the rabbit called out.
It really liked Chu Ge's physique.
Such a strong body had the potential to become the Great Emperor Luosheng!
Chu Ge ignored it and quickly ran down the mountain.
However, to his surprise, the rabbit actually followed him.
He looked back and said irritably, "Scram. If you keep following me, I'll find a chance to kill you."
Recruit?
I'm the team leader!
The rabbit followed behind, calling out, "I'm not lying to you. Do you know about the Wolf Clan? One of the top ten global Survival Teams! My brother is in the Wolf Clan!"
Chu Ge kept walking without stopping.
Bullshit!
"Brother" indeed!
As if your dad is in the Wolf Clan!
The rabbit, getting anxious, continued to call out, "Bro, the Survival Arenas aren't as simple as you think. Haven't you ever wondered, if you, a Three Stars Survivor, are battling in such a big city, where are the higher star level survivors competing?"
Chu Ge stopped, turned, and looked at it.
The rabbit also stopped, giggled, and said, "There are many Survival Arenas, many of which humans can't see."
"For example?" Chu Ge asked.
He had this doubt for a long time.
How had the Six Stars Survivors not made any noise about the Survival Competition?
The rabbit spoke mysteriously, "The Survival Arenas are much larger than we can imagine, even spanning across time and space. The higher you go, the more you need powerful teammates. I'm assembling the strongest species team, and I want to choose you as the mightiest cat in my team!"
That sounds impressive!
But what for?
Chu Ge gave it a contemptuous look, speaking with annoyance, "Excuse my bluntness, but it's hard to take a rabbit seriously when it talks like this."
"Don't underestimate a rabbit; rabbits can be very strong. There's a Rabbit King in the Five Stars Coliseum who is incredibly violent." The rabbit glared at Chu Ge agitatedly as if Chu Ge had insulted its dignity.
