Survival Arena

Looking at the grass not far away, Chu Ge fell silent.

He had always been curious if a Survivor could turn into a plant.

Now, his curiosity had become reality.

He looked at the grass drifting with the waves and couldn't help but mourn for it silently.

"Bro, why are you not talking?"

The grass continued to ask, its tone somewhat anxious.

Chu Ge replied, "Do you have something you need?"

"Bro, we're both in a pitiful state; we need to help each other out or we're both going to die."

"I'm better off than you, right?"

"Not by much. Are there smaller fish than you? Maybe, but you haven't encountered them."

"At least I can fight back, can you?"

"As long as I don't talk, who would bother with a piece of grass?"

"But now you've spoken."

"That's why I'm confiding in you."

Chu Ge and the grass began to interact.

Working with a piece of grass was not something Chu Ge was in the mood for.

In the Survival Competition, forming alliances was a common occurrence.

It was either the weak banding together or the mighty deceiving the weak.

Clearly, the grass saw him as a weakling and wanted to form an alliance with him.

How could Chu Ge agree to that?

Though he was but a goldfish, he harbored the ambition to slay sharks!

After chatting with the grass for a while and confirming it had no useful information, Chu Ge decided to leave.

"Don't go, bro! Take me with you; I can help you!"

The grass cried out in desperation.

Chu Ge inquired, "Oh? What abilities do you have?"

The grass claimed, "If you hold me in your mouth, I can mask your scent and enhance your physical condition."

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows—could it really be true?

You, a Leek, have such incredible skills?

"My sap contains components that stimulate adrenaline and nerve tissue. As a leek, I can only become a good support to survive as long as possible. Even if I turned into a poisonous plant, the best I could do would be to die alongside my enemy, gaining no Survival Points. However, if I can help someone else kill, then I have a chance to Survive."

The grass, no, the Leek said earnestly.

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, then approached, opened his fish mouth, and took the leek into his mouth.

The leek was very smooth, with a sweet, sticky coating on its surface.

Once inside, the sweetness flowed down his throat and into his body.

After a while,

He suddenly felt a surge of strength throughout his body, an inexplicable excitement.

Huh?

Could it be true?

The Leek chuckled proudly, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Chu Ge released it and asked doubtfully, "Wait, something's not right. Aren't we in a random species competition? Were you a leek before?"

"Oh? So we're not in the same Survival Competition. What was your original form?" asked the Leek curiously, sounding a bit annoyed.

So this guy isn't truly a goldfish.

Chu Ge said with a grin, "Lion."

"For real?"

"Nah, I'm just a Teddy."

"Hahaha, I thought so. A Teddy, huh? That reveals your true nature. Lucky for me I'm just a leek, otherwise…"

"What's wrong with being a leek? For my current size, you're just perfect."

"Damn…"

The Leek felt disgusted by Chu Ge's words and wanted to distance itself from him, but as just a leek, it couldn't escape.

Chu Ge held onto it and continued moving forward.

"I was just kidding. Stick with me; I'll take you flying. Is your Survival Arena limited to the Maxun Archipelago?"

Chu Ge laughed, sensing the Leek's Survival Talent.

Holding it could enhance his strength!

Not bad at all! Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

The Leek let out a sigh of relief and replied, "No worries, the range of my Survival Competition is vast."

The two continued their conversation as they moved on.

After some inquiry, Chu Ge found out that this guy was only a Two Stars Survivor.

He had been through five Survival Competitions, always going solo.

This was his first time cooperating with someone.

In the last Survival Competition, he had the good fortune of landing next to an unconventional survival material flower, and through pollen transmission, he awakened his Survival Talent.

Chu Ge encouraged him a little, which excited him greatly and made him start to have a favorable impression of Chu Ge, no longer showing the disdain he had before.

"Even 'Suicide' should have such a character."

Chu Ge thought to himself that with more and more team members, it was not possible for each one to be a great hunter.

Of course, Leek was not within his consideration.

Whilst it could assist others, it was too weak.

Chu Ge's Survival Entity also killed enemies with his mouth; he couldn't be expected to carry Leek around forever, could he?

Several more hours passed by.

The river channel suddenly widened, and the flow started to become rapid.

Chu Ge got so scared that he immediately stopped.

The visibility in the river water was very low; he couldn't see anything beyond four meters clearly.

City rivers might flow into filtration centers, becoming tap water that can be consumed by humans.

"Sigh, I forgot to look up the water system of Maxun Archipelago online, still not experienced enough."

Chu Ge sighed internally, hesitating about whether to move forward or not.

He began to swim towards the river surface.

Coming up to the surface, Chu Ge checked the situation.

There was a bridge tunnel up ahead, and at the entrance, there was a patch of water spray, clearly indicating that the river took a sudden drop downwards.

Looking at that pitch-black tunnel, Chu Ge's heart felt unsettled.

"Don't go, it's too dangerous,"

Leek warned, and Chu Ge understood; he had no wish to take risks.

What to do?

Suddenly, Chu Ge thought of a solution.

He loosened Leek from his mouth, then held a mouthful of water, and looked toward the two streets beside the river.

The vertical height from the river surface to the streets was close to one and a half meters; with the height of the stone balustrades at the edge of the street included, he'd need to shoot water two meters high to hit a passing pedestrian.

That's right.

He wanted someone to fish him out.

It was no use staying in the river like this.

He needed to find a girl who looked very approachable.

As for why to look for a girl and not a man?

The reason was simple.

Girls were tender towards small animals.

If he asked a man for help, he might end up being cooked for a meal or fed to his cat.

Chu Ge began to watch carefully.

Luckily, there weren't too few pedestrians passing by the nearby road, old and young alike.

Observing like this took an hour.

The skies were trending towards dusk, and Chu Ge was becoming anxious.

At that moment,

he suddenly saw a twin-tailed girl wearing a blue and white princess dress with a lithe figure, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was walking with her head down, wearing headphones, not looking at the city river beside her.

Chu Ge immediately shot out a water arrow.

The twin-tailed girl was caught off guard and her face was splashed.

Startled, she subconsciously wiped her face and turned to look.

There was no one on the opposite side of the river and no one on the surface.

A puzzled look appeared on her delicate face, and her eyebrows involuntarily frowned.

"Damn! Can't see me?"

Chu Ge got angry, held another mouthful of water, and splashed the twin-tailed girl in the face again.

Leek burst out laughing, "You're so wicked!"

The twin-tailed girl finally noticed Chu Ge.

Her eyes widened as she asked, "Was it you?"

Chu Ge nodded frantically, although he couldn't understand her language.

The twin-tailed girl was completely taken aback.

Then, she took out her phone and made a call.
