Survival Arena

"Countdown 30 seconds!"

"29!"

"28!"

...

Chu Ge's heart pounded like a drum as he listened to the indifferent female voice.

Death by elimination meant falling into the deep sea.

What would escaping from death look like?

Please don't let it be a drop straight to Earth's core!

The more Chu Ge thought about it, the more he trembled with fear. He tried to adjust his emotions, but various terrifying guesses could not stop popping up in his mind.

Every second of the countdown seemed like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, closing in step by step.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Chu Ge felt dizzy along with the countdown, his body weightless, an extreme discomfort.

He didn't know how much time had passed—maybe a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes.

Suddenly, he felt himself hit the ground, the earth beneath him soft and muddy.

Instinctively, he opened his eyes.

In front of him was an uneven ground, surrounded by rocky walls on all sides, the lighting dim, with a blue glow reflecting off a corner rock wall nearby, signaling an exit just around the bend.

The surroundings were still water.

He was still in the sea.

This must be a cave in some sea area.

The cave wasn't very large, with only the tunnel in front of him for entry and exit, while his back was against a mountain wall covered in algae.

From the light on the opposite wall, he should not be in the deep sea.

Had the Survival Arena moved them back up again?

Chu Ge found it strange. He regained some Physical Strength and entered a Change Color state, swimming towards the source of light.

"Survival Team—Ye Taimie team wiped out!"

Chu Ge was dumbfounded, not knowing how many of the three hundred Survival Teams were left.

He couldn't recall how many Survival Teams had been wiped out.

Indeed, the greater the rewards, the more dangerous the process!

He cautiously rounded the corner, with the cave entrance about four meters away.

The tunnel wasn't spacious, but it was just wide enough for him to swim out.

Reaching the entrance, he peeked out.

His eyes widened.

The fishmouth involuntarily gaped open.

Looking in the direction of his gaze, outside was a dazzling and colorful marine world.

Mountains surrounded the area, corals as large as trees formed jungles, and various fish swam freely. There were even Giant Squids over eight meters long. The area was brightly lit as if it were a scene from an animated movie.

The seawater was clear, shimmering with light. Looking upwards, he couldn't see the surface of the sea. Numerous caves dotted the nearby mountains, many marine creatures peeking out, nervously watching.

Survivors!

Each Survivor was alone in a cave.

The space between the mountains was vast, at first glance reminiscent of an enlarged Beast-fighting Arena.

Gurgling—

A large Great White Shark swam over from the opposite mountain, its body robust and plump, easily seven meters long at least. Discover exclusive tales on empire

If seen by humans, it would undoubtedly break the record for the largest Great White Shark ever recorded.

The Great White Shark moved slowly like a boss patrolling its territory, its presence commanding.

Boom!

A massive shape dropped from above, kicking up countless bubbles of all sizes, biting the Great White in one go, and with a fierce tug, blood spread everywhere—the Great White was bitten to death on the spot.

Chu Ge focused his gaze, his heart trembling uncontrollably.

Mosasaur!

All the Survivors were frightened.

Under their watchful eyes, the Mosasaur shook the Great White Shark and quickly tore it in half, a brutally ferocious sight.

"Is this what it means to escape from death?"

Chu Ge thought in silence. What exactly were the rules for escaping death?

He could stay in the cave and not venture out; the Mosasaur would definitely not be able to bite him there.

It couldn't be that simple.

Based on what he knew about the Survival Arena, it would definitely find ways to force them into fighting each other.

Chu Ge looked around and before long, he spotted a Sailfish.

The Sailfish's cave entrance was more than two hundred meters away from him.

It was recognizable because it was the only Sailfish there.

The atmosphere was tense and silent.

The vast majority of Survivors were staring at the Mosasaur, trembling with fear.

Chu Ge swept his gaze over them and had a guess in his heart.

It seemed that the Survivors here were still of the Two Stars variety.

There were more than sixty Survivors, none of whom had the kind of stature that was daunting just to look at.

The Mosasaur began to eat the Great White Shark.

In less than five minutes, it had finished its meal and then swam upwards, quickly vanishing into the ceiling of the water, its whereabouts unknown.

No one dared to rush out, all hiding at the entrance of the cave, watching.

"Survival Team—Empire of the Never-Setting Sun wiped out!"

The cold female voice rang out again, making Chu Ge even more certain these were only Two Stars Survivors.

Because he hadn't seen any Survivors die.

It must be a Survival Team from some other arena.

"Ten hours, just hold on!"

Chu Ge lay down, resting while watching the front.

It had to be said, this undersea world was truly beautiful, unreal in its beauty.

The other Survivors also began to appreciate the scenery.

It seemed everyone had decided to hold on until the end of the Survival Competition.

About half an hour had passed.

A three-meter-long Megamouth Shark suddenly swam out from the entrance of the cave, quickly heading towards another cave entrance.

The Megamouth Shark's body was black, leaning towards brown, with a whitish belly, characterized by its large head and mouth and its mouthful of fine teeth, looking quite ferocious.

It swiftly entered the cave next to it, scaring the Red Rockfish hiding there to quickly pull back into the cave.

The Rockfish wasn't large, about the same size as the fish people normally eat, hardly a match for the Megamouth Shark.

This scene caused other Survivors' hearts to skip a beat.

Including Chu Ge's.

Right.

All caves, this was a great opportunity to hunt!

Chu Ge's eyes flickered, caught in an internal struggle.

Forget it.

Hold on!

Chu Ge decided not to rush out, what if the Mosasaur suddenly popped out?

However, while he chose not to hunt, there were Survivors eyeing him.

Sharks!

More sharks!

These Survivors who had turned into shark species were all bold, and they had the right to be!

This shark was a Blackfin True Shark, also known as Blackfin Shark, which looked similar to most sharks, characterized by the black tips on its fins.

It wasn't even three meters long, but the speed at which it rushed over showed its disdain for Chu Ge.

Chu Ge immediately swam back.

He retreated to the depths of the cave, starting to mobilize the heat within his body.

The Blackfin True Shark charged in, sneering, "Kid, time to die!"

It opened its gaping maw, charging at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge rapidly became scorching hot, his dolphin body glowing like a hot iron.

The Blackfin True Shark's eyes widened, instinctively trying to stop.

Chu Ge fiercely collided with it.

"Ahh—"

It let out an agonizing scream, the area where Chu Ge hit it instantly charred, pain nearly knocking it unconscious.

Chu Ge opened his mouth, biting into its fin.

His teeth, the hottest part, caused the Blackfin True Shark to pass out from pain in an instant.

Instant kill!

Chu Ge continued to press against it, beginning to grill the shark.

In less than half a minute.

"You have successfully hunted an enemy, earning 200 Survival Points!"

"As this Survivor had already hunted six enemies, you earn an additional 600 Survival Points!"

800 Survival Points!

Chu Ge's eyes instantly turned red.

He suddenly felt a strong impulse to rush out and fight.

No!

I have to stay calm!

Chu Ge took a deep breath, the heat receding, turning back into a normal dolphin.

He turned and swam towards the cave entrance.

Not going out on a risky adventure was acceptable.

I should be safe using myself as bait at the entrance, right!
