Chapter 82: Chapter 82 The Mystery of the Savage
The Kangaroo quickly fled to Chu Ge's front, babbling, "Brother Lion, save me... he is undercover... he really is undercover..."
The Chimpanzee looked toward the Cheetah, somewhat hesitating.
He dared not guess anymore.
Chu Ge narrowed his eyes and said, "Hide behind me."
The Kangaroo nodded, quickly went around to Chu Ge's side, preparing to jump behind him.
Roar—
Suddenly, Chu Ge burst forward, biting the Kangaroo's neck and snapping it with a bite, as if triggering a critical hit.
"You have successfully hunted an enemy, earning 200 Survival Points."
"As this Survivor had already hunted an enemy in the current Survival Challenge Task, you gain an additional 100 Survival Points."
The indifferent female voice arrived as expected, making Chu Ge feel pleased.
The Chimpanzee was stunned, foolishly staring at Chu Ge.
The Cheetah stopped, looking at Chu Ge in surprise.
Chu Ge calmly said, "This guy is the real undercover, I was not deducted any Survival Points."
The Chimpanzee suddenly saw the light.
The Cheetah frowned, full of suspicion.
Was he chasing his own teammate?
Impossible!
Why didn't this guy admit it during the fight earlier?
"The American Lion isn't the undercover, these two were acting, trying to ambush us."
Chu Ge solemnly said, upon hearing this, the Chimpanzee immediately got angry.
It turned out the American Lion was really deceiving him!
He didn't doubt Chu Ge's words, if Chu Ge had made a mistake, he would surely have fought him, but Chu Ge did not.
The Chimpanzee raised his Wooden Spear, chasing after the Cheetah, cursing, "You sneaky Big Cat! Watch as my spear becomes like a dragon!"
Seeing things turn south, the Cheetah turned and ran.
Chu Ge also moved.
He had the Cheetah Speed!
The Chimpanzee had barely run five steps when Chu Ge overtook him, charging towards the Cheetah at high Speed.
The Cheetah had strong explosive power, but lacked stamina; after chasing the Kangaroo for a while, he couldn't reach his peak Speed.
He looked back and was nearly scared to death.
"How can he be so fast!"
He exclaimed, as Chu Ge rapidly closed the distance, pouncing face-on.
Thump!
The two Big Cats tangled with each other, rolling forward.
Chu Ge, relying on his absolute strength, easily overpowered the Cheetah, then bit his throat to asphyxiate him.
By the time the Chimpanzee caught up, the Cheetah was already dead.
"You have successfully hunted an enemy, earning 200 Survival Points."
"As this Survivor had already hunted two enemies in the current Survival Challenge Task, you gain an additional 200 Survival Points."
Another 400 Survival Points credited to his account.
Delightful.
Chu Ge's mood was splendid, now that he had already killed seven enemies, becoming the top killer was very promising!
After all, there were only twenty-six Survivors altogether.
Now, from his Points, it was evident that thirteen Survivors had already been eliminated.
And half the time for the current Survival Competition remained.
"Big brother, you're too fierce, even the Cheetah can't escape you, the mightiest Big Cat on land!" The Chimpanzee said with admiration, feeling no regret in his heart.
Even if he gained nothing, as long as he could get on Chu Ge's boat, he was happy.
Chu Ge licked his lips and said, "Let's go, if they dare to act, the Wild Boar might be nearby."
Wild Boar!
The Chimpanzee shivered all over, hastily following Chu Ge as they left.
They did not notice someone standing on a tall tree nearby.
The Peacock.
He had witnessed Chu Ge's hunting process.
He murmured to himself, "What a cunning Lion."
He had confirmed that Chu Ge was the lone undercover of the independent faction, deliberately fooling that foolish Chimpanzee.
Peacock's eyes flickered with murderous intent; seeing Chu Ge in a killing spree evoked some jealousy in him.
At the same time, Chu Ge had become, in his eyes, a symbol of vast experience and wealth—the BOSS!
Fight the BOSS!
Earn Survival Points!
With that thought, he spread his wings and took off, flying in another direction.
…
Late into the night, Chu Ge and the Chimpanzee did not encounter any other Survivors, but they did come across some wild animals like Wild Boars and Wild Dogs, which posed no threat to them.
Not all Wild Boars were as terrifying as those from the opposing camp.
The moon set, and the sun rose.
The two took a short rest before continuing their journey.
Throughout the next morning, they still did not encounter a single Survivor.
The Chimpanzee hesitated before asking, "Could it be that everyone else is dead?"
Chu Ge answered, "Possibly."
Peacock, Saltwater Crocodile, Wild Boar, and Gu Tianjiao had definitely not died.
The first three were ridiculously strong, and that old lady was exceedingly cunning.
The two stopped by the riverside to drink water and rest.
The Chimpanzee scooped water with his hands and took a few big gulps, then after wiping his mouth, he asked, "Brother, I performed pretty well in this Survival Competition, didn't I? Can I become a member of your Survival Team?"
Chu Ge pondered and replied, "I can note it down for now; we'll consider it later."
Upon hearing this, the Chimpanzee was elated; at least it was a successful first step.
Just then, Chu Ge suddenly looked up.
The Chimpanzee followed his gaze, only to see a tall figure emerge from the woods across the river.
The individual seemed like an ape, nearly two meters tall with the build of a tiger and waist of a bear, covered in long reddish-brown hair exceeding ten centimeters.
A wild man!
Both Chu Ge and the Chimpanzee thought of the same name.
"Are there really wild men?"
The Chimpanzee asked in surprise, not afraid at all—after all, he had a strong Male Lion by his side, what was there to fear from a wild man?
Under their watch, the wild man jumped into the river and began to bathe, completely ignoring their presence.
Watching the wild man scrub his back, their expressions were peculiar.
The Chimpanzee raised his Wooden Spear, starting to make strange cries, trying to scare the wild man away.
The wild man paid him no mind.
"Does this guy have a problem with his brain?" the Chimpanzee asked, puzzled.
Chu Ge observed him carefully and noticed his eyes—why did they look so human?
Could this individual actually be human?
The more he looked, the more plausible it seemed.
The wild man's facial features did not resemble those of an ape but were more human-like; his brow bone was not as high, and his jaw did not jut out as much.
Chu Ge shook his head and said, "Sure enough, legends are just rumors. Let's go."
He turned and walked along the riverbank.
The Chimpanzee followed, glancing back at the wild man bathing in the river out of curiosity, he asked, "Should we tie him up and come back for him when the Survival Competition is over? We could take pictures and sell them for money."
Chu Ge gave him a disdainful look and said, "You really lack morals. Leave him be; he's just another unfortunate soul."
Humans suffer from a variety of diseases; this individual could have a low IQ and a condition causing excessive hair growth, leading to being abandoned by his family in the mountains, where he survived and became a wild man.
Just then, the wild man suddenly started slapping the water surface and howling.
The Chimpanzee got scared and quickly quickened his pace, fearing the man might chase after them.
Ten minutes later, they could no longer hear the wild man's cries.
Chu Ge could no longer smell the scent of any Survivors and could only travel aimlessly.
And so it went.
Two days passed.
There was only a day and a half left until the end of the Survival Competition.
Around noon, Chu Ge and the Chimpanzee were napping in a tree.
A Lynx ran out of the bushes—it was Gu Tianjiao.
She swiftly leaped onto the branches and approached Chu Ge.
"Sister-in-law," the Chimpanzee sat up and chuckled.
Gu Tianjiao ignored him and stared at Chu Ge, asking, "How many Survivors have you killed? Five?"
