Chapter 163 Falling off the Cliff
"Ouch! Fuck!"
Nangong smashed heavily onto the slope, screaming in pain.
Everyone tensed up.
This ravine also had snow, and upon closer inspection, they saw the vengeful ghost's footprints.
They were huge!
They looked like human feet, but much larger than an adult's.
Arno immediately charged towards where the footprints ended.
Bang!
He hit something invisible, and the footprints in front of him suddenly stretched backwards.
However,
Arno hadn't managed to push the thing very far.
Before Chu Ge and the others could act, Arno was suddenly flung into the air.
His eyes wide, he struggled fiercely but couldn't break free to land.
"Fight!"
Chu Ge ordered, taking the lead to rush towards Arno.
Arno suddenly flew towards Chu Ge, obviously thrown by the invisible vengeful ghost.
It all happened too suddenly, Chu Ge couldn't dodge in time and was struck head-on by Arno.
Arno was hard-bodied, and being hit by him was like being struck by a lead ball; Chu Ge was instantly dazed.
Ye Wukong swung his wooden stick.
Crack! Crack! Crack...
The stick repeatedly hit the invisible vengeful ghost, Ye Wukong's movements were fast, without any hesitation, preventing the vengeful ghost from grabbing him; he kept shifting positions, beating the vengeful ghost with his stick.
"It's a gorilla! It must be... a long-haired gorilla! He's so big! Two meters tall! My god!"
Xiao Poor Thing cried out, apparently truly frightened by the opponent.
A two-meter-tall long-haired gorilla?
Everyone was alarmed.
"Fuck! Is that guy mutated?"
Nangong cursed from the mud, struggling to get up.
Ye Wukong's stick was suddenly grabbed by the vengeful ghost.
He pulled with all his might but couldn't budge it.
He instantly gripped the stick with both hands, trying to twist it free with a clever move, but he couldn't rotate the stick at all.
Ye Wukong was panicked, quickly letting go and jumping aside to dodge.
The stick hovered in the air, beginning to swing towards Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing.
The two immediately dodged.
Arno charged at the vengeful ghost again.
The real battle kicked off!
Chu Ge lay on the ground, shaking his head to clear it and trying hard to regain his senses.
"This guy, Arno..."
Chu Ge gritted his teeth as his vision started to clear.
He looked up and saw Arno, Ye Wukong, Gu Tianjiao, Nangong, and Xiao Poor Thing had begun to surround and attack a stick floating in midair.
With the stick's swings, Chu Ge could vaguely see the spatial distortions caused by the vengeful ghost's body movements, indeed a big fellow.
He was about to join in when a faint voice came:
"Boss..."
Chu Ge turned around and saw a worm clinging onto a rock behind him.
More precisely, two worms.
Local Snake's body had split in half, the previous collision had crushed his abdomen.
If he weren't an earthworm, he would probably be dead.
Chu Ge was silent.
His eyes complex, he sighed, "Sorry..."
Local Snake said with difficulty, "I... can still cling on... believe me... don't lead him here... give me time..."
Chu Ge nodded gravely, turned and charged at the vengeful ghost.
Suicide began the team fight!
The group attacked the invisible vengeful ghost!
Chu Ge was extremely fierce, diving straight in and biting the stick; his weight was not light, and the vengeful ghost couldn't swing the stick anymore.
The others followed and pounced.
They grabbed the invisible vengeful ghost, no matter what part, they just bit and scratched wildly.
"You damn dogs!"
An angry, hoarse voice rang out, and just from the sound, one could feel the vengeful ghost's terrifying murderous intent.
The vengeful ghost began to struggle wildly; he grabbed Arno and smashed him to the ground.
Arno, tough as nails, didn't utter a sound despite the heavy blow.
Not only that, but he didn't loosen his grip, clinging stubbornly to one of the vengeful ghost's arms.
Chu Ge suddenly released his bite and turned to pounce directly onto the vengeful ghost.
He could feel himself clutching the shoulders of the Vengeful Ghost.
Very thick, and very solid!
This guy was as powerful as a monster.
Chu Ge immediately employed Geothermal, his body turning scalding hot.
"Ahhh—"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Vengeful Ghost screamed miserably, struggling frantically to shake off Chu Ge, but it was impossible.
The crazed Vengeful Ghost turned to run, startling Gu Tianjiao, Arno, and the others into releasing their grasp.
Under their horrified gaze, the Vengeful Ghost actually leapt off the cliff.
Chu Ge's eyes widened, not having expected the Vengeful Ghost to be so insane.
"Leader!"
"Boss!"
"Use him as a cushion!"
Xiao Poor Thing, Ye Wukong, and Gu Tianjiao shouted from the edge of the cliff.
Chu Ge pinned down the Vengeful Ghost, exerting all his strength to stabilize their state and prevent them from tumbling through the air.
Crack! Crack...
They plummeted, breaking branch after branch on their way down.
Soon, they disappeared into the mist below.
Arno and Nangong rushed to the edge of the cliff, their expressions grim.
Was Chu Ge, their strongest combatant, dead on the first day?
"The leader couldn't have died, could he?"
Xiao Poor Thing looked at Gu Tianjiao and asked anxiously.
She had grown somewhat dependent on Chu Ge, feeling confident as long as he was alive.
Now...
Gu Tianjiao calmly replied, "We haven't heard the notification of his death yet."
They held their breath and waited anxiously.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
One minute.
"It's been so long, shouldn't he have hit the ground by now?" Ye Wukong let out a breath and asked with a smile.
Nangong muttered, "What if he's been crippled from the fall?"
No sooner had he spoken than four murderous glares fixed on him.
He immediately shut his mouth in fright.
"That said, wasn't that Orangutan too massive?" Xiao Poor Thing took a deep breath and said fearfully.
It was the first time she had seen an Orangutan that large.
Gu Tianjiao answered, "Once you rise to Four Stars, Five Stars, you'll encounter many Survivors that will overturn your imagination."
...
In the woods, Chu Ge lay suspended in mid-air, his body covered in scratches from the branches.
Beneath him was the Vengeful Ghost.
The Vengeful Ghost had been smashed to the brink of death, his massive form and invisibility creating the illusion that Chu Ge was hovering in the air.
Chu Ge gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet, moving away from the body of the Vengeful Ghost.
"You have successfully hunted a Vengeful Ghost, earning 200 Survival Points."
The cold female voice rang out, the freakishly strong Vengeful Ghost had been smashed to death.
The Gorilla revealed its figure, covered in red fur.
It was an exceptionally strong Sumatran Orangutan.
Its corpse suddenly turned into flying stars, scattering away.
Chu Ge's body trembled as he looked around.
He should not have fallen to the foot of the mountain, but was on the mountainside instead.
No sooner had he taken three steps, a pleasant female voice reached him.
"Well, well, a Male Lion falls from the sky, and yet you're not dead. Even though there was a Vengeful Ghost underneath, you must be seriously injured, right?"
A beautiful ragdoll Cat emerged on the trunk of a large tree ahead.
The Cat licked its paw, smiling wickedly.
It leapt directly at Chu Ge, its sharp claws glittering with a cold light in the air.
Its nails were long, clearly enhanced, as if holding several thin knife blades.
Chu Ge turned and dodged, letting her miss.
The ragdoll Cat was shocked and exclaimed, "Your reflexes... You're not seriously injured..."
Chu Ge pinned her down, making her unable to move.
"Big brother... I was wrong... Please let me go..." the ragdoll Cat began to beg for mercy.
Chu Ge kept panting, the recent evasion making him feel as if his body was tearing apart.
Having fallen from a great height, even with a cushion, his body had still been impacted.
"Big brother... as long as you let me go... In real life, I can accompany you for five..." the ragdoll Cat pleaded tearfully.
Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Ge bit through her neck and with a hard tug, threw the Cat's head away.
