Survival Arena

```

Insecticide was absolutely lethal to the vast majority of insects inside the home.

Every time Chu Ge thought of the homeowner using insecticide, he couldn't help but shiver.

Stay calm!

He had to remain calm!

He struggled to keep his composure and continued to analyze what dangers might emerge.

After a while,

the British Shorthair cat crawled out from under the bed, and Chu Ge noticed it seemed to be chewing on something.

Could it be that little cockroach?

That was just too tragic...

Chu Ge swore he would never touch a British Shorthair cat again.

Too horrifying!

The British Shorthair cat, wiggling its butt, walked out of the bedroom, and the room fell silent once more.

Chu Ge continued to observe his surroundings, estimating his height above the ground to be about one and a half meters, given the desk diagonally across for comparison.

Should he climb higher?

His gaze shifted to the chandelier on the ceiling and the top of the wardrobe beside it; he couldn't see what was up there.

What if there were big bugs waiting for him?

Forget it...

Chu Ge beat a retreat, lying low on the ground, waiting quietly for any changes.

He had never been so nervous, glancing in all directions from time to time, fearing the appearance of an enemy.

What made him most uneasy was that he did not know how many Survivors there were.

Time ticked by in silence.

The only thing that gave Chu Ge hope was an electronic clock on the desk, which showed it was only five in the afternoon.

Night was when insects truly revelled.

While waiting, Chu Ge was not idle.

He kept trying out his camouflage skill.

The method of use was simple: as long as his body tensed up, he could blend in with the surrounding environment, becoming one color. Once his body relaxed, he would exit the camouflage state.

It had to be said, this was definitely a divine skill.

In the face of danger, who wouldn't be tense?

Tension made it easy for the body to stiffen!

About half an hour passed.

Chu Ge suddenly noticed an ant on the left wall, like him a small ant, only slightly redder, crawling towards him quickly.

His heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head, body tensing as he turned the same color as the stone floor, entering a perfect state of camouflage. Unless someone came close and observed carefully, it would be hard to detect a little ant here.

The Red Ant was getting closer and closer, seemingly confident in his position.

Chu Ge tried to keep his emotions steady; he had finally been reborn and didn't want to die!

He began to think of ways to deal with the Red Ant.

Because the distance was too far, he could not be sure of the enemy's size in relation to his own.

All he could rely on now was his camouflage skill, to catch it by surprise.

He moved his mouth's fangs, or more accurately, mandibles. The teeth were large at the ends but very fine in the middle.

This would be his weapon to kill the enemy.

At that moment, Chu Ge suddenly looked up, his body beginning to tremble.

What did he see?

A centipede!

That centipede shot out from behind the wardrobe, its body black and the legs a reddish-yellow, unstoppably chasing after the Red Ant.

In the eyes of most people, this was just a small centipede, but to Chu Ge, it was definitely a Primordial Fierce Beast.

"It's so unfair..."

Chu Ge was on the verge of tears, thinking that if centipedes had emerged, there must be spiders as well.

And let's hope scorpions don't show up!

This was not a bedroom in a modern city but rather seemed like the outskirts of a county town.

Chu Ge started to doubt his surroundings, unable to discern anything from the interior decoration.

Many rural homes were decorated no differently from city dwellings.

When the Red Ant noticed the centipede behind it, it panicked and began to speed up, running around like a headless fly, and soon it deviated from Chu Ge's location within the crevice of the wall.

```

Chu Ge broke out in a sweat for the Red Ant because the centipede was even faster.

If this chase continued, the Red Ant would definitely be caught.

Chu Ge's mind was racing, and he did not dare to show himself.

Soon, both the Red Ant and the centipede rushed under the air conditioning unit, making it impossible for him to continue spying on the battle.

Five seconds passed.

Suddenly, the Red Ant fell from the dark gap behind the air conditioner.

Chu Ge couldn't help but mourn its fate.

Serves you right for jumping.

Don't you know to hide and "lie low and bide your time"?

Seeing the tragic state of the Red Ant, he became even more determined to avoid this mission.

It wasn't that he didn't dare to fight; the disparity in strength between him and the enemy was too great.

Just then!

He suddenly saw the Red Ant using its front two legs to cling tightly to the wall, sliding down to reduce its falling speed.

Is this a handbrake maneuver?

No!

It's Forelimb Strength Enhancement!

Did this guy also have Virtue Points?

Or could it be that it wasn't its first Survival Trial?

Chu Ge was thinking fast, rapidly analyzing the situation.

He noticed that the Red Ant's body was significantly damaged; half of its large abdomen at the rear was gnawed away, and it was missing two legs on the right side.

It can be saved!

Chu Ge quickly made a decision. Judging by the Red Ant's reduced falling speed, by the time it reached his height, the inertial force shouldn't be too great.

Moreover, an ant's strength is tremendous, capable of lifting several times its own body size.

The reason he wanted to save the Red Ant was that he needed a helper.

Reliant on himself alone, he felt that his chances to survive were slim.

If the Red Ant could gain Forelimb Strength Enhancement and still react like that during a fall, it was definitely not ordinary.

Someone who could gain Virtue Points in their first Survival Trial probably had principles or kindness, not purely evil individuals.

With that thought, Chu Ge immediately burst out horizontally.

The Red Ant's speed of descent was getting slower and slower, its two front legs grinding against the wall. From Chu Ge's perspective, it looked just like an action-packed scene from a movie.

Chu Ge rapidly positioned himself below it, opened the two large pincers in his mouth, and at the right moment, he looked up and bit.

He bit onto one of the Red Ant's left legs and dragged it to a halt.

He pulled up the Red Ant and ran towards the wall crevice he had hidden in before.

"Are you a Survivor?"

A voice of astonishment rose from behind Chu Ge, sounding like a man in his twenties.

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, and reflexively asked, "You can talk?"

He had thought that ants couldn't communicate with each other.

Now the voice that reached his ears was that of a human, and not just any language, but Huaxia Mandarin, which was incredible.

"Survivors can communicate with each other. That centipede was cursing at me earlier. Thanks, brother, for rescuing me."

The Red Ant gratefully said, and when bringing up the centipede, it was filled with righteous indignation.

Chu Ge did not answer and instead ran full speed back into the crevice in the wall.

Meanwhile.

In the space between the back of the air conditioner and the wall, the centipede's body remained hidden in darkness. It peeked out, coldly watching Chu Ge and the Red Ant enter the wall crevice.

It did not pursue, probably fearing dangers within the crevice, and then retracted its head back into the darkness.

After returning to the wall crevice, Chu Ge set the Red Ant down.

The Red Ant was severely injured, but fortunately, insects have vigorous vitality, and it had not died; its body was still capable of movement.

Chu Ge peered out to make sure the centipede had not followed, and only then did he feel at ease.

"Brother, this must be your first trial, right? You are truly a good person,"

The Red Ant lay on the ground, exhaling deeply.

A good person card?

Chu Ge silently thought, and replied, "I saved you because I want to collaborate with you. We're both ants, and surviving on our own is difficult, let alone killing enemies to obtain rewards. Better to join forces."
