Survival Arena

Chu Ge turned around and saw a lynx squatting under the tree, silently watching him.

The lynx resembled a cat, but larger, with sturdy limbs and a very short tail, as if it had been chopped off. Its ears had black tufts sprouting at the tips, resembling two antennas, and its fur was similar in color to Tang Xuejia's British Shorthair, mostly white and gray, with some black spots.

This lynx was already bigger than most domestic cats, and it seemed to be nearing adulthood.

Chu Ge had seen her before in the preparation area of the battlefield, but since she was smaller than him, he hadn't paid her much attention.

However, he had just failed to notice the lynx's approach.

Didn't that mean the lynx could have ambushed him unexpectedly?

The thought sent a shiver of fear through Chu Ge.

He cursed himself internally for being too relaxed!

He had been distracted by the Black Haired Wild Dog, which was such an oversight!

"I chose not to ambush you just now, which should show my goodwill. I want to join forces with you to kill Black Blind, and then we can slaughter the other Survivors together and split the Survival Points evenly, how about that? The life of Black Blind will be your kill, and in the end, your Survival Points will certainly be much more than mine," the lynx said, looking at Chu Ge.

Its amber eyes were deep, making it impossible for Chu Ge to guess her intentions.

Chu Ge calmly asked, "What abilities do you have that make you worth cooperating with? I need direct combat strength."

Upon hearing this, the lynx lifted her right paw and swiped at the trunk of a nearby tree, peeling off a large strip of bark as easily as if she were slicing through mud.

She didn't exert much effort, making it look quite casual.

Chu Ge lay on the ground, weighing the pros and cons.

Should he cooperate?

The lynx did not disturb him and also lay down, quietly watching him.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of security guards, led by several tourists from earlier, walked briskly toward them. Curious students followed them and gathered around.

"What? There are wild dogs in our school?"

"Are they wild dogs, or stray dogs?"

"They're African Wild Dogs, the fierce kind."

"The Second Brother of Africa?"

"The Second Brother refers to Spotted Hyenas; African Wild Dogs are the mortal enemies of Spotted Hyenas. To be exact, Spotted Hyenas are the mortal enemies of all African mammals."

The group chatted as they made their way to the Botanic Garden.

Xuanjiang Botanical Garden was vast, located on a hilly area, rippling with undulating terrain, occupying more than half of Xuanjiang University's district. A Survivor could hide there and not be easily found.

Chu Ge and the lynx immediately shifted their position.

"Why choose me?" Chu Ge asked.

"Because you are a lion, and you are the second Survivor to kill an enemy after Black Blind," the lynx answered directly.

"With your strength, killing the enemy should not be difficult, right?"

"I can only be considered mid-level in strength; after all, I am limited by my size. If I face Black Blind, I will definitely be defeated. In one of my previous Survival Challenges, I encountered Black Blind, and he is extremely ruthless, always acting alone."

As they talked, Chu Ge got a better understanding of Black Blind.

According to what the lynx said, Black Blind's body had been enhanced, his strength was no less than that of a real adult Black Bear, and on top of that, Black Blind had a keen sense of smell. He had already registered the scent of all the Survivors previously in the prep area, and even if they tried to hide, he would seek them out one by one.

It was then that Chu Ge understood why the lynx sought his cooperation.

Even if they didn't deal with Black Blind, he wouldn't spare them.

"Then let's cooperate," Chu Ge agreed. If they could kill Black Blind, wouldn't his Survival Points go through the roof?

However, he didn't fully trust the lynx; what if she had other tricks up her sleeve?

The two made their way behind a slope overgrown with weeds, surrounded by trees, with no sign of people for dozens of meters around.

"As a lion, have you been invited to join Lion King Assault?" the lynx asked curiously while lying beside Chu Ge.

Lion King Assault!

The 35th ranked Survival Team!

Chu Ge had seen it before; the words "Lion King" had left an impression on him.

"No," Chu Ge shook his head.

Laughing, the Lynx said, "The Lion King Assault is very strong. Once I encountered their people, a single Lion's Roar scared over ten Survivors so much they lost their courage and directly prostrated on the ground begging for mercy."

When she mentioned that battle, her tone was filled with emotion.

Lion's Roar?

Chu Ge thoughtfully considered, yes, the roar of a lion is very famous for its deterrent power.

He could also put effort into his throat in the future.

Time continued to pass.

As noon approached, the Botanic Garden became lively.

Chu Ge and the Lynx peeked out to see that at a pavilion a hundred meters away, seven students were gathered, having fun. Looking in another direction, there were also students.

The Botanic Garden did not charge an entrance fee, and students liked to come here to date.

There were also tourists, but on workdays, there wouldn't be many.

"Survivor Arno has successfully hunted down an enemy!"

The cold female voice rang out again, causing Chu Ge and the Lynx to be slightly moved.

Apart from Black Blind, Arno was the most conspicuous Survivor, having already killed three enemies, second only to Black Blind's five enemies.

And it was only morning, truly savage.

Chu Ge inwardly exclaimed, he did not rush into action, as he did not demand a high number of enemy kills.

He could raise pigs.

After Arno and Black Blind had killed many enemies, then he would make his move, and the Survival Points would still be plentiful.

He didn't believe those two guys could always be in peak condition.

"The Honey Badger's combat power is also very strong, but compared to Black Blind, he is bound to lose, so we don't have to consider him," the Lynx began to speak.

Hearing her voice, Chu Ge imagined a knowledgeable-looking girl wearing glasses, very pretty and very calm, perhaps with long black hair.

Chu Ge nodded slightly but did not continue the conversation.

...

By around three o'clock, there were hardly any students left in the Botanic Garden.

Chu Ge and the Lynx began to act.

They felt that most of the Survivors would be in the Botanic Garden, which would be their hunting battlefield.

Their Speed was very fast, especially Chu Ge's, who left the Lynx behind in just a few strides.

"Is this guy a lion or a cheetah?"

The Lynx was secretly amazed, seeing Chu Ge in a new light.

Soon they saw a goat hiding in the bushes.

The goat, seeing them charging over, was so scared it almost peed itself and quickly got up to run away.

Chu Ge burst forth with the Speed of a cheetah, swift as an arrow, sprinting down the forest path.

When he was less than three meters away from the goat, he leapt up with force and brought the goat down.

The goat's horns hadn't even fully grown yet; it stood no chance against Chu Ge.

Chu Ge bit down on its throat and by the time the Lynx caught up, the goat was already dead.

"Survivor Chuge Siqi has successfully hunted an enemy!"

"You have successfully hunted an enemy and earned 200 Survival Points."

"As this Survivor has already hunted an enemy in this Survival Challenge Task, you will receive half of their Survival Points reward. Congratulations, you have earned 100 Survival Points."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge was surprised, this goat could kill an enemy?

The Lynx lamented, "You're too fast, aren't you?"
