Survival Arena

Looking at Ye Wukong mumbling to himself, Nangong hummed, "Can you not jinx us, please?"

After a month of companionship, the two shamelessly cheeky characters had become die-hard friends.

"You know nothing, Jon Snow, it works if you believe!" Ye Wukong retorted.

The two began to bicker.

Xiao Poor Thing lay next to Gu Tianjiao, waiting quietly.

Gu Tianjiao murmured, "I hope it's not a little goldfish or a sardine."

Chu Ge wanted to laugh, not expecting Gu Tianjiao to make such prayers.

In his memory, Gu Tianjiao had always been cunning and stoic, seemingly unflustered by any situation.

The competition hadn't even started yet, and this woman was already getting carried away with her thoughts.

Time continued to pass.

About half an hour later.

"The Survival Team Competition is about to begin!"

"This Survival Competition is a random species competition!"

"Mission details: Three hundred Survival Teams will descend into the Pacific Ocean to fight for survival, in a brutal battle where only the fittest survive. Each Survival Team needs one Survivor to stay alive to earn 400 Survival Points for the whole team.

For each enemy a Survivor kills, their teammates will each receive an additional 50 Survival Points, but should the entire team be wiped out, each Survivor will be deducted 200 Survival Points."

"The mission duration is 240 hours!"

"The random species competition will not hide the Survival Skills!"

"Throughout the survival period, the status of each Survival Team will be continuously announced!"

"The Survival Competition officially begins!"

With the rise of the emotionless female voice, Chu Ge and the rest felt the world spin and quickly lost consciousness.

...

In the boundless darkness, Chu Ge's consciousness began to awaken. He felt light and comfortable, slowly opening his eyes.

What greeted his vision was a giant squid, startling him into retreating immediately.

That was when he came to his senses.

He instinctively looked around, seeing a world of blue-green hues. The seafloor below was covered with colorful coral, incredibly dazzling, with reefs popping up everywhere. Many strangely-shaped fish swam around, including crabs with shells on their backs, and bright little fish that looked as if they had stepped out of an anime. The view was like that of a fairy-tale world.

Above him, a massive school of sardines swirled, constantly changing shape like a swarm of locusts; the sight was quite spectacular.

Sunlight shone on the ocean's surface above, glistening with the waves, making everything look so beautiful, almost unreal.

"So this is the Pacific Ocean," Chu Ge silently thought, turning his gaze to the giant squid in front of him.

The squid was nearly one meter long, with a head full of red spots and two large eyeballs, giving it a somewhat terrifying look.

There was also a flounder next to the squid.

The flounder's body was flat, resembling a dried fish. This one's skin was a limy color and less than twenty centimeters long.

"Only two? Where are the other two people?"

Chu Ge wondered, feeling somewhat pleased at the same time.

Visually, he seemed quite large. The flounder appeared very small next to the giant squid, which wasn't as big as himself.

He twisted his body, seeming strong, and opened his mouth, feeling the sensation of teeth touching.

Soon, the giant squid and the flounder awoke.

The moment they opened their eyes and saw Chu Ge, their eyes widened in shock.

"Who are you guys?"

Chu Ge asked with a smile, thinking the start wasn't too bad, not some tiny shrimp.

The giant squid excitedly said, "Boss, awesome! You're actually a dolphin! And you look so big!"

A dolphin?

Chu Ge felt elated; was his luck turning up?

At the same time, he recognized the identity of the giant squid; it was Nangong!

The flounder complained, "Damn! A squid already seems like a mountain to me, what kind of tiny creature am I?"

Ye Wukong.

Nangong turned back to look at him, his voice dripping with contempt, "You're so weak, you're actually a flounder. Looks like if we run into danger later, you'll be the first sacrificial lamb."

Flounder!

Ye Wukong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His fish mouth opened unconsciously, showing a dazed expression.

"Where are Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing?" Chu Ge asked with confusion.

Nangong looked around and muttered, "They couldn't have been eaten the moment they landed in the Pacific Ocean, could they?"

Chu Ge glared at him, thinking, what a thing to say.

It was then that a colossal creature rose from behind the Coral Mountain not far away.

Batfish!

Manta Ray!

The creature was five meters wide, resembling a spacecraft, equally flat, but while the flounder is flat vertically, it is flat horizontally.

Its body was mostly black with symmetrical white areas on its back, and elongated fins that resembled wings. On either side of its head were pectoral fins evolved into cephalic fins, and it had a long, whip-like tail.

On seeing it, the trio of Chu Ge instinctively backed away.

"Crap... is this thing a herbivore?" asked Ye Wukong nervously. He was just a flounder now, with no ability to harm others.

To him, the batfish indeed looked like a gigantic spaceship.

"Idiot, how many large fish in the sea are herbivores?" scolded Nangong, feeling nervous himself at the sight of the huge creature.

Chu Ge offered some comfort, "That's a batfish, also known as a manta ray. It generally only eats small fish."

Small fish!

Ye Wukong instantly despaired, blowing a stream of bubbles out of his mouth.

"Hahaha! Scared you, didn't I!"

The excited voice of Xiao Poor Thing came from within the batfish, halting the trio in their tracks.

A manta ray with the cute voice of a soft girl was truly dissonant.

With indignation, Ye Wukong cried out, "Why does Ri Tian have all the good luck?"

As Nangong circled around Xiao Poor Thing, he exclaimed in wonder, "Is this the rebound of luck? You've had such a tough time in previous Survival Competitions. Did God take pity on you?"

Xiao Poor Thing flapped her cephalic fins and sent him flying with a snort, "Now it's my turn to take you on a flight!"

Chu Ge too was astonished by her luck.

But upon closer consideration, despite its intimidating size, the batfish seemed to lack killing power.

Such a large body could easily attract large predators such as sharks and killer whales.

"Wait, where's my sister-in-law?"

Ye Wukong suddenly remembered Gu Tianjiao and asked, puzzled.

"I'm down here..."

Gu Tianjiao's voice came from below, causing everyone to look down, their expressions immediately turning odd.

They saw a king crab crawling over Coral Mountain, heading towards them.

The king crab was orangish-red all over, its shell dotted with many sharp protrusions, and it had eight long legs, resembling a spider.

Nangong exclaimed, "King Crab! I've eaten that before!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianjiao's eyes glared at him.

Chu Ge said thoughtfully, "See, those of you who prayed before all ended up like this. We who didn't pray seem to have pretty decent luck."

At these words, Gu Tianjiao and Ye Wukong fell silent.

"Survival Team —— Boss Arrogantly Commands the Brothel has been wiped out!"

A cold female voice suddenly rang in their ears, leaving them stunned.

A Survival Team wiped out so quickly?

Did they end up in a shark frenzy?

Nangong turned to Chu Ge and asked, "Boss, what's our next move?"

Chu Ge surveyed the surroundings and said, "Everyone should first get used to their bodies, there seems to be no danger nearby."

Gu Tianjiao swam over to Chu Ge, marveling, "Pacific Ocean Short-finned Dolphin, you're really lucky. This guy's burst of speed is pretty impressive."
