Survival Arena

Vengeful Ghost's Revenge...

Invisibility?

Chu Ge frowned, lost in deep thought.

Being invisible the whole time does sound very buggy.

He also didn't know if the scent and heat would still be present after becoming invisible.

But aren't invisible things essentially ghosts?

Wait a minute.

Were these vengeful ghosts the Survivors they had killed before, or were they random?

Just as this thought occurred to him, the text on the screen changed:

The Vengeful Ghost's Revenge consists of Survivors who were eliminated in the previous Survival Competition. They gather together, form different teams, and descend randomly into the next Survival Competition without any direct link to personal grudges.

...

Chu Ge's brows did not relax.

No matter what, these vengeful ghosts would definitely go mad with killing.

And with the advantage of invisibility, Chu Ge felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

Apart from the vengeful ghosts, they still had to be wary of the other Survivors in the same Survival Competition.

At that moment, he received two more friend requests.

Bald Eagle—Xiao Hero

North American Grey Wolf—Seven Stars Lamp

Chu Ge accepted them both.

Neither of them spoke directly, and Chu Ge didn't ask proactively either.

He stood up and walked into the Team Cultivation Hall, transforming into the African Lion right away.

The other members had already gathered and were discussing the Vengeful Ghost's Revenge.

"This 'Vengeful Ghost's Revenge' is just total nonsense..."

"Just the sound of it is frightening."

"Yeah, what should we do?"

"The key issue is that we still don't know what the next Survival Competition will be."

"Don't panic, Vengeful Ghost's Revenge isn't targeting us specifically. The other Survivors will have headaches too when the time comes."

Local Snake, Nangong, Ye Wukong, Xiao Poor Thing, and Gu Tianjiao chattered nonstop, not noticing Chu Ge's arrival.

It was only after Chu Ge approached that they noticed him.

Gu Tianjiao glanced at him and said with a smile, "The leader is here."

Seeing her smile so happily, Chu Ge felt a pang in his heart.

He knew she was deliberately trying to comfort him.

"Boss, the Vengeful Ghost's Revenge is upon us, what should we do?"

Nangong asked anxiously, the mere mention of those four words making him nervous.

Chu Ge gave him a stern look and said, "What's there to panic about, have you forgotten our team's name?"

Suicide!

Nangong pursed his lips, but his eyes still held a sense of urgency.

Chu Ge looked at his other teammates and said seriously, "We failed miserably in this team survival battle. Before worrying about the next Survival Competition, you all need to reflect on yourselves, and I do too. I feel we've become somewhat arrogant. We aren't the strongest Survival Team; of course, we won't be the weakest either."

Everyone's expression turned solemn, no one daring to speak.

Local Snake crawled forward, excitedly calling out, "Boss! I performed very well, didn't I, perfectly completing the task you assigned me!"

Chu Ge glanced at him and said, "Indeed not bad, you can go rest over there for now, I need to do a debrief with the others."

Local Snake was taken aback.

Chu Ge felt this was not appropriate and said with a smile, "Don't overthink it, just listen from the side."

After all, Local Snake had indeed completed his assigned task and shouldn't be criticized excessively.

Chu Ge then began to analyze the issues with the team members.

Aside from Survival Skills, Ye Wukong was too careless, getting killed by a venomous snake.

Nangong was too arrogant, always keen on provoking the enemy.

Xiao Poor Thing tended to panic easily.

Gu Tianjiao was too decisive in her actions, so much so that she would not consider things from other people's perspectives.

Chu Ge himself also had a problem; he felt he had become inflated with hubris, never bothering to understand an enemy's strength before killing them.

If he could be as steady as Hundred Ghosts Rampage, perhaps the outcome of this Survival Competition might have been different.

The teammates were silent, none of them feeling resentful since Chu Ge had also acknowledged his own issues.

"I hope you all will think about this more. After all, we are supposed to Survive together. I don't want anyone to die," Chu Ge said earnestly. Survival Points couldn't be directly transferred, so if any team member's Survival Points were depleted, they could only stand by helplessly.

Gu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Indeed, the captain makes a good point. From now on, we need to differentiate our training more rigorously."

She turned her head to look at Chu Ge and smiled, "Captain, since 'Suicide' has killed more than ten enemies, we can invite another member. Is the Bald Eagle trustworthy?"

New teammate!

Everyone's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"I'll ask around. Everyone should go back and rest well. No need to train today. Take it easy; too much stress is not good."

Chu Ge said with a smile, and with his laughter, the tense atmosphere in the team dispersed.

They started to banter with each other.

Ye Wukong decided to use a 'Survival Entity Experience Scroll' to make himself bigger and stronger.

Nangong continued to strengthen his defensive power, he was determined to become tough enough that even a Siberian Tiger couldn't kill him.

Xiao Poor Thing was set on being a support, preparing to exchange for a snake's heat-sensing system, thinking it might detect the presence of Vengeful Ghosts.

Local Snake, a subject of mixed feelings.

He was just too small!

They chatted for a while.

Chu Ge returned to the 'Survival House.' He didn't immediately return to reality since his parents had already gone to work, and there was no rush for him for the moment.

He opened the chat window with Xiao Hero:

Chuge Siqi: Xiao Bing, are you there?

Xiao Hero: Yeah.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Chuge Siqi: Join my team?

Xiao Hero: Just quit, there's a cooldown. I have to go through a 'Survival Competition' alone before joining a new team.

Chuge Siqi: No problem, I'll wait for you.

Xiao Hero: Next time we face 'Hundred Ghosts Rampage,' we must take them down. They're too sneaky.

Chuge Siqi: Sounds like you had a tough time. Don't worry, we'll definitely get a chance for revenge.

Xiao Hero: Mhm.

...

Closing the chat window, Chu Ge was about to leave when a new friend request popped up.

Arno requested to add as a friend.

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows; this guy finally decided to add him.

He had tried to add Arno before, but the guy didn't respond.

After accepting the friend request:

Arno: Does our previous agreement still stand?

Chuge Siqi: Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?

Arno: I heard about your performance in the Pacific Ocean, so I left my original 'Survival Team.' Because I had to go through a solo 'Survival Competition,' I waited until now to contact you. Can I join the team?

...

Buzzcut Brother Honey Badger wants to join the team!

Chu Ge hesitated.

He had just made a commitment to Xiao Hero, and there might not be enough room for another member.

But adding another member only required killing another fifty enemies, which they could achieve quickly.

After thinking it over, he decided to agree.

He sent out the invitation.

Soon after, Arno accepted.

"Survivor Arno has joined 'Suicide'!"

A cold female voice rang out in the 'Survival House,' and Chu Ge returned to the 'Team Cultivation Hall.'

Ye Wukong shouted, "Who's Arno? The Bald Eagle?"

Nangong cast a disdainful glance at him and said, "Haven't you seen the enemy kill rankings of the team survival battle? The Bald Eagle is named Xiao Hero."

Xiao Poor Thing and Local Snake were very curious.

Gu Tianjiao, however, revealed an understanding look.

One corner of the 'Team Cultivation Hall' gained one more door.

Ye Wukong immediately ran over and knocked on the door, shouting, "Arno, come out!"

"The new guy has to come out and greet the big brother!"

"Knock, knock—"

"Where is he?"

"Schwarzenegger?"

"Throwing a diva tantrum, huh!"

Just when Ye Wukong was knocking, the door suddenly burst into light, and with a bang, a black object rushed out, sending Ye Wukong flying.
