Survival Arena

Chapter 248 Intimidation

"The Vermilion Bird, the Phoenix, how naive people in this three-dimensional world are," sneered the Local Snake.

Chu Ge withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Perhaps the divine beasts from the myths came about in this way."

Could it be that the Survival Arena existed a long time ago?

He felt this guess was very likely to be true.

The Survival Arena was so powerful that it was unimaginable to have appeared only in the past decade or two.

The Local Snake chuckled, "Maybe in the distant future, we will be the divine beasts that humanity worships."

He seemed to envision a wonderful scene, chuckling to himself nonstop.

Chu Ge did not respond and continued to scroll through his phone.

Soon, their food arrived, and they began to eat without further ado.

Half an hour later, they returned home to begin training in the Team Cultivation Hall.

Although Chu Ge was already strong, he maintained a rigorous training attitude, shaming the other teammates into not slacking off.

At night.

Chu Ge, Nangong, and Local Snake ordered takeout at home.

"Boss, I have made the arrangements. This Thursday, we will head to the international airport. After a day and night of flight, and then a car ride, the lion you mentioned is currently in the Danxiar Wild Nature Park," said the Local Snake while browsing through the schedule on his phone.

Nangong asked, "Should we hire a translator?"

The languages in different parts of Africa vary, and English alone might not suffice.

Chu Ge thought for a moment and said, "That would be a good idea."

Stay connected through empire

In his mind emerged the image of Big Hair.

He wondered what that guy looked like now.

No longer the naive young lion, he must now be the Lion King.

Thinking of this, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Boss, what exactly happened between you and that lion?" Nangong asked curiously.

They all guessed it had something to do with the Survival Entity Experience Scroll.

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone, found their documentary, and played it for Nangong and Local Snake to watch.

The two of them stared wide-eyed.

There was a documentary?

That's so cool?

They began to watch intently.

Chu Ge continued to eat, casting glances toward the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room occasionally to watch for the masked person who appeared last time.

From time to time, Nangong and Local Snake expressed their amazement.

Watching the adventure story of Chu Ge and Big Hair, they felt as if they were immersed in it, just like watching a movie.

When they finished watching, Local Snake said with emotion, "I like this lion."

Nangong nodded.

He suddenly asked, "Boss, what will you do after you find it? You can't take it away with you."

Chu Ge answered, "I just want to see how it's doing. There's no need to take it away."

He had considered this question long before.

Bringing Big Hair to the city was out of the question.

Living directly in the savannah to accompany Big Hair was also impossible.

After all, they were two different species, and there were too many barriers between them.

"I will also use the Survival Entity Experience Scroll in the future to raise a tribe of dragons," proclaimed the Local Snake, grinning with boundless enthusiasm.

"Wake up, the only creatures you meet are earthworms."

"I will lead them to become stronger!"

"How will you lead them if you can't even communicate?"

The two began to bicker again as Chu Ge put away his phone and stood up, ready to clean the table.

...

In the blink of an eye, Thursday arrived.

Chu Ge and Local Snake lined up for the security check at the international airport, along with a man and a woman from Nangong Company who were proficient in the use of various software.

Huh.

They were the translators, using their phones to translate the local languages.

Chu Ge was speechless when he learned about their translation abilities.

The man's name was Xiao Zhang, and the woman's name was Little Xiao.

They were both college graduates, fresh out of university.

Xiao Zhang looked like a typical homebody, with his plaid shirt, thick-framed glasses, and long hair that needed cutting.

Little Xiao, on the other hand, had the air of a female top student, her hair long, black, and straight, wearing glasses and clutching a briefcase.

They were both very nervous, as it was their first time traveling to Africa.

Local Snake held his phone and said, "I've checked the weather forecast. In a few days, the place we're going to will have a rare torrential downpour."

Chu Ge didn't care; what's a torrential rain?

Africa's land needs the downpour.

"Why do you two bosses want to go to Africa to collect lion material?" Little Xiao asked curiously.

Chu Ge looked very young, like a high school student.

Local Snake wasn't much older, with an aura of a chubby homebody.

Chu Ge laughed and said, "There's so much animal news lately, it will definitely have a market later on."

Little Xiao nodded, as she had the same thought.

It seemed these two weren't just here to have fun.

She was afraid of making a pointless trip, toiling for others, as if she were just a companion.

The security check at this time wasn't crowded, and in less than half an hour, they had boarded the plane.

Chu Ge sat by the window, with Little Xiao beside him, Local Snake near the aisle, and as for Xiao Zhang, he was squeezed to the other side.

The cabin was less than half full; not many people travel to Africa anyway.

While waiting for takeoff, Chu Ge's phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked up his phone and saw a message.

His pupils suddenly constricted.

The message read:

Do not go to see any creature related to the "Survival Trial," otherwise, you will die horribly.

...

Chu Ge frowned, immediately replied, and asked who the sender was.

However, he received no response.

He waited until the plane took off and still had not received a second message.

"Who could it be? How do they know my itinerary?" Chu Ge thought warily.

He was going to meet Big Hair, and only his team knew about it.

Could there be a traitor within "Suicide"?

Impossible!

General Lie Hao didn't know of this, and the others had been through so many "Survival Competitions" with him, they shouldn't betray him.

Could it be Black Cat?

Or was it a warning from "Survival Arena"?

If it really was "Survival Arena"…

Chu Ge shuddered.

He thought of many terrifying reasons and got goosebumps.

"Boss Chu, what's wrong?"

Little Xiao asked curiously from beside him, clearly feeling that something was off with Chu Ge.

Chu Ge snapped back to reality, smiled, and said, "It's nothing."

Then he turned his head to look out the window, lost in thought.

The plane had already taken off, and even if he had second thoughts, he would have to wait until they landed.

But after planning for so long and wanting to see Big Hair, giving up suddenly was somethng he found difficult to do.

What if it was just threats from an enemy?

Boom—

The plane ascended quickly, the cityscape disappeared, and only layers of clouds could be seen outside the window.

...

The next evening.

Chu Ge and the others disembarked.

Apart from Chu Ge, the other three were pale-faced.

Xiao Zhang had even dashed off to the restroom to vomit.

"Youngsters just can't handle it," Local Snake remarked with a tsk-tsk, looking at Little Xiao. "You have the map, right? Lead us to the hotel to rest first."

Little Xiao nodded, as she had already prepared the itinerary in advance and had her phone handy, she was not afraid at all.

After a while, Xiao Zhang came out of the restroom.

The four of them went to collect their luggage first.

With her phone in hand, Little Xiao started asking around for directions to get a ride.
