Survival Arena

"I'm no good... In my current state, I can't fight; I'll only hold you back..."

Gu Tianjiao gritted her teeth as she spoke. She tried to stand up, but her limbs simply wouldn't move.

What frightened her most wasn't the poisoning itself, but the uncertainty of how long its effects would last.

"If the situation becomes dire, leave me behind..." Gu Tianjiao said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge, Xiao Poor Thing, and Arno fell silent.

Chu Ge said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking? Are you going to die just from smelling a fart?"

Gu Tianjiao glared at him with difficulty and said, "You all need to get out of here... there might be an ambush..."

That strange stench was still lingering in the air.

Chu Ge dared not breathe deeply; his heartbeat was accelerating.

An enemy you can see isn't frightening.

It's the invisible enemies that are truly terrifying.

What on earth was releasing this poison gas?

Just then...

Xiao Hero suddenly swooped down, urgently saying, "Hurry and leave this place!"

"Where's the enemy?" Arno asked in haste.

Chu Ge lay on the ground, hooking Gu Tianjiao's body with his lion's paw, then had Xiao Poor Thing support her.

He then bent down, reached under Gu Tianjiao, and pushed her onto his back.

With Xiao Poor Thing's help, Gu Tianjiao lay on Chu Ge's back. Chu Ge shook a few times to make sure she wouldn't fall off, then immediately turned and ran.

Xiao Poor Thing and Arno closely followed behind.

Xiao Hero flew low, guarding them.

Boom! A loud noise erupted!

The mountain in front of them suddenly split open, and a black python burst out from the ground.

The black python was very thick, probably over thirty centimeters in diameter, covered in black scales. Its massive head ceaselessly flicked its forked tongue, accompanied by a foul stench.

"Ah? Disaster of the Rampant Python?"

Xiao Poor Thing cried out in horror. It was the first time she had seen such a ferocious giant snake.

Its sheer size was enough to strike fear into anyone.

Chu Ge said in a deep voice, "Survivor?"

The black python sneered and said, "Judging from your appearances, you must be Two or Three Stars Survivors, right? You're unlucky, having stumbled upon a merging of the arenas. You've been poisoned by my gas; nobody can escape."

After saying this, it exhaled a particularly foul breath.

Two or Three Stars?

Could this creature be a Four Stars Survivor?

Chu Ge and the others were terrified.

They had previously encountered a tremendous Heavenly Beetle, so they had speculated that they might come across even stronger arenas.

But that was just a speculation!

When speculation becomes reality, it brings a tremendous shock.

Chu Ge immediately turned and fled with his teammates.

The black python relentlessly pursued them.

It was fast!

Faster than Arno!

Arno caught a glimpse of the black python's shadow from the corner of his eye and immediately realized they couldn't escape.

He looked back at Chu Ge, Gu Tianjiao, and Xiao Poor Thing's retreating figures and shouted, "You all run! I'll hold it off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and charged head-on toward the black python.

Thump! With a collision,

he rammed into the black python and instantly passed out.

Chu Ge turned his head and saw this scene, his face changing dramatically.

The black python opened its huge maw, bit down on Arno's head with ferocity, lifted him up, and then began to swallow him whole.

Chu Ge turned his head away and kept running faster.

He couldn't sprint at full speed; he had to maintain his balance to keep Gu Tianjiao from falling off.

Xiao Poor Thing wasn't slow; she could barely keep up with Chu Ge.

As for Xiao Hero, since he could fly, there was even less for him to worry about.

The black python, because it was swallowing Arno, had to stop.

Unlike the pythons in the animal world that eat slowly, it swallowed Arno quickly, ingesting him in just a few gulps.

It didn't continue chasing Chu Ge, Gu Tianjiao, and Xiao Poor Thing but stayed in place, opening its mouth wide and continuously spewing out its foul breath.

Propped up on its snake body, it almost resembled a dragon.

On the other side.

Chu Ge and Xiao Poor Thing dared not slow down their speed.

Xiao Hero occasionally looked back with cold eyes.

This accident was too sudden and caught them all off guard.

Gu Tianjiao was poisoned, and Arno was eaten.

The power of the Suicide Group was drastically reduced in an instant.

One minute later.

"Survivor Arno of the Suicide Group has been hunted by the enemy!"

Hearing this announcement, Chu Ge's expression changed.

Damn it!

He did not harbor resentment towards the black python. This was the Survival Competition.

The black python was hunting; there was nothing despicable or evil about that.

If there was anyone to blame, it was their weakness and bad luck!

"Find a place to leave me behind, and you wait for the Ghost Team identity."

Gu Tianjiao said softly from Chu Ge's back, her voice very weak, as thin as a thread.

Chu Ge did not reply but continued to run.

"The Survival Team Rashomon has annihilated the Survival Team In Books There Are Golden Houses!"

The indifferent female voice rang out again.

Just as the Suicide Group met their misfortune, Emperor Luosheng once again showed off.

By contrast, Chu Ge felt incredibly bitter.

They kept fleeing to prevent the black python from following them.

An hour later.

They arrived beside a river bordered by forests on both sides.

The river water was clear, and the sand and stones on the bottom could be seen.

Chu Ge directly threw Gu Tianjiao into the water.

With a splash!

Water splashed in all directions!

Xiao Poor Thing couldn't help but ask, "Do you have to be so rough?"

Chu Ge sighed and said, "She just smells too bad..."

He didn't know if it was because of the poisoning, but he felt that the stench of the black python continued to cling to Gu Tianjiao.

Gu Tianjiao emerged from the water with a resentful tone, "You despise me..."

Chu Ge feigned a cough and asked, "How are you feeling? Any more lucid?"

Although Gu Tianjiao was poisoned, she only felt weak and powerless without showing any other painful symptoms.

After falling into the river, she might become more lucid.

"I feel a bit better, but I'm still powerless, I can't stand, I can only float with the help of the river water…" Gu Tianjiao replied.

Xiao Hero landed on the grass by the riverside and said, "Don't stay too long. I've seen the carcasses of animals nearby, and they were bitten to death."

Chu Ge nodded, then looked at Gu Tianjiao again.

Gu Tianjiao tried to stand up, but she really had no strength.

Chu Ge took a deep breath and said, "Wait a bit longer, let's see if she can detoxify."

If even the cold water couldn't revive Gu Tianjiao, then there was truly no way to help her.

If Chu Ge had to carry her, even if they encountered a Ghost Team identity, they could no longer hunt.

"You guys go ahead, don't worry about me, seriously, I know my own condition the best."

Gu Tianjiao said seriously, making Chu Ge hesitate.

This wasn't the first time they had been in such a situation.

In the past, Gu Tianjiao would decisively choose to sacrifice herself, even going as far as to commit suicide.

Chu Ge looked into her eyes.

A few seconds later.

He sighed and said, "Alright, we're leaving. We'll get closer to the Survivor, wait to become the Ghost Team, and start hunting immediately!"

Xiao Poor Thing was fast, and Xiao Hero could fly, so even if they encountered danger, they could escape quickly.

Xiao Hero had no objections.

Xiao Poor Thing hesitated, looking at Gu Tianjiao with words on the tip of his tongue but remained silent.

Chu Ge no longer hesitated and led Xiao Poor Thing away.

Xiao Hero flapped his wings and soared into the high sky.

After they left, Gu Tianjiao slowly sank into the water.
