Survival Arena

Chapter 246 Lethal Venom

"Your strength is not bad,"

a hoarse voice came from beneath the Sun Wukong mask, making it very difficult to discern the age of the speaker, but definitely not young.

Chu Ge instantly envisioned the face of a gloomy man.

The masked figure, grasping Chu Ge's wrists, slowly sat up.

Chu Ge was terrified to find that he couldn't overpower the masked person at all.

How strong was this guy?

Chu Ge had no choice but to let his body heat up, igniting the Raging Flame Separation on his body.

Just then,

the masked person suddenly kicked him away, turned, and quickly dashed out of the living room, leaping over the courtyard wall to escape.

Chu Ge quickly suppressed the heat inside his body, and when he chased after the masked figure, he could no longer discern which direction the escapee had gone.

He hesitated for a moment, then ran directly towards the direction of the Survival Neighborhood Committee.

The Local Snake must have gone to seek help from the Committee, and it was very likely that the masked person had gone after him to kill him.

With the masked person's strength, it was impossible for them to just flee like that.

Under the night sky, the number of vehicles on the road was sparse; Chu Ge ran at full speed along the sidewalk, with the green trees shielding his figure.

Occasionally, drivers caught a glimpse of him, but they dared not turn their heads to look because they were driving.

Running all the way to the building of the Survival Neighborhood Committee on Lan Ya Street, Chu Ge didn't see the Local Snake.

Inside the hall, some people were drinking and chatting, maintaining the atmosphere of a small pub.

Chu Ge approached the counter and asked the on-duty person, "Where's Zhuo Yi Cai?"

The attendant was a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen, not particularly remarkable in appearance.

She looked up at Chu Ge, then started making a phone call.

Soon after, Zhuo Yi Cai came downstairs.

"What's the matter?" Zhuo Yi Cai asked anxiously.

In recent times, many Survivors had been seeking him out, all for matters concerning the masked person.

Chu Ge immediately recounted the events.

"My brother hasn't shown up here. Can you guys help catch that guy? I'm going to keep looking for my brother!"

With those words, Chu Ge quickly ran out.

If he waited any longer, the Local Snake might be in trouble.

He ran towards the direction of his home, for at the Local Snake's speed, it was impossible to run further than the Survival Neighborhood Committee.

This meant that the Local Snake had either been captured or was hiding somewhere.

Not long after running, Chu Ge picked up the scent of the Local Snake nearby.

He immediately stopped.

At the crossroads, he turned left, where the green trees remained dense, standing in line like soldiers at attention.

The scent disappeared at this point.

But where was the person?

Chu Ge frowned.

A faint voice drifted over, "Boss, did that masked guy run away?"

The Local Snake!

Chu Ge turned to look, and behind him was a large tree, where he couldn't see the Local Snake.

Could it be...

He looked at the soil under the tree, and sure enough, a small earthworm stuck out a little segment, looking up at him.

If not the Local Snake, then who?

"It's unclear, I've already notified the Survival Neighborhood Committee, they should be spreading out to search,"

Chu Ge replied, his brows still knit tightly.

Why did that masked person want to kill them?

If it was just to satisfy a psychological need, why target them?

There were certainly more than just them among the nearby Survivors.

The Luminous Survival Neighborhood Committee alone housed quite a few Survivors.

There had to be some connection.

The Local Snake returned to human form, patting his chest in lingering fear as he said, "Boss, that was too terrifying just now. That guy was so fast, I got so scared that I immediately turned into my Survival Entity at the corner."

He had never experienced such terror before.

Even in the Survival Competition, death had come too suddenly, and it happened so fast that it was painless.

"Let's head home first," Chu Ge said softly.

The two of them turned and ran towards the villa they lived in.

On the way, they were extremely cautious, fearing that the masked man would attack again.

Eventually, they made it back home without incident.

Nangong was already at home.

He was mopping the floor and complaining, "What did you guys do? When I got back, the house was almost on fire, and the glass was broken. Were we robbed?"

Local Snake quickly recounted the earlier incident with the masked man.

Nangong was shocked, "There's really such a psycho around? He managed to attack without you noticing, how strong does that make him?"

Chu Ge and Local Snake didn't answer; they had been pondering this question all the way home.

"Should we move out? If that psycho failed once, he'll hold a grudge and keep bothering us. Imagine how scary it would be if one night we open our eyes and he's standing by the bed!" Nangong asked nervously.

Chu Ge replied irritably, "Why don't you just sleep in the Survival House?"

"Oh yeah!"

Nangong had an epiphany and immediately stopped worrying.

Local Snake, still on high alert, kept his gaze on the living room's French windows, the kitchen window, and the stairs to the second floor, remaining vigilant.

Afterward, they began to clean the room.

This night would not be peaceful.

After cleaning up, they went straight into the Survival House.

Inside the Team Cultivation Hall, all the others were there.

Nangong briefed everyone about the masked man that night.

"Tsk tsk, are you guys trying to act out a horror movie? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Jack the Ripper?" Ye Wukong joked with a laugh and a wink.

General Lie Hao snorted, "Stupid panda, your scaredy-cat act is such an embarrassment to us."

Nangong was furious and wanted to give him another crippling kick.

But if it came down to a one-on-one fight now, Nangong figured he probably wouldn't be a match for General Lie Hao.

Chu Ge chuckled, "It's okay, let's all continue training."

Though the masked man was strong, he had not succeeded, indicating that he was only physically powerful without being ridiculously strong in all areas.

Everybody dispersed.

Chu Ge walked over to a corner and pulled up the list of Survival Skills.

Gu Tianjiao came over and asked softly, "Are you really okay? Do you need help?"

Chu Ge smiled, "I'm fine; we're not dead, are we? Look, not a scratch on us."

"Okay then."

Gu Tianjiao turned and walked away.

Chu Ge didn't mind and focused his attention on browsing the list of Survival Skills.

He was hesitant, whether to exchange for Lv4 or Lv5?

To enhance strength, or speed?

Or perhaps defensive power?

His strength was already enough in the Three Stars Arena, he could overpower most, except a few freaks.

However, compared to Emperor Luosheng's terrifying power, he was still much weaker.

His attention turned to the Lv5 Survival Skills first.

After about an hour, he had filtered out some Lv5 Survival Skills that caught his eye:

Power of the Killer Whale[Lv5]: Gain the strength of a killer whale underwater, requires 12,000 Survival Points.

Biting Force Enhancement[Lv5]: Increase biting force by 6,000 points, requires 13,000 Survival Points.

Speed Enhancement[Lv5]: Enhance one's own speed by 6,000 points, requires 14,900 Survival Points.

Lethal Venom[Lv5]: Can poison and kill most creatures below Six Stars, requires 13,999 Survival Points.

Muscle Ironing[Lv5]: Body muscles harden to the hardness of steel, requires 12,999 Survival Points.

…

Chu Ge felt that the Lethal Venom seemed quite overpowered.

But upon further consideration, it mentioned creatures below Six Stars. The strength of the killer whale can be considered Five Stars, which meant the venom is potent enough to kill a killer whale.

Survivors are different and might be fortified by various Survival Skills, so against a Five Stars Survivor, the lethality of the Lethal Venom would probably be much reduced.
