Survival Arena

Tang Xuejia chatted with that Xiao Yu for nearly ten minutes before ending the call. For Chu Ge and Rat Woman, this period was absolute torture.

Because the British Shorthair cat was still awake, it lay on its front paws, staring blankly at the wall, seemingly lost in thought.

To the Survivors, such pure eyes were an indescribable horror at that moment.

After hanging up the call, Tang Xuejia put down her phone, feeling very happy. She hummed a pop song while working on her papers.

"Strive to evolve, laugh since the animal world is too fake, ancestors have already polished away their fangs and claws..."

Her voice was pleasant, but the song left Chu Ge speechless.

Isn't this just too fitting for the situation!

Soon, the British Shorthair cat fell asleep again, and Rat Woman continued her hunt, burrowing into the closet next to her.

Chu Ge began to survey his surroundings.

His gaze focused on the area behind the air conditioner and the picture frame.

Behind the air conditioner hid a centipede, and behind that picture frame was a Stilt-legged Spider.

Besides these, there were other Survivors, for example, Rat Woman was an existence that Red Ant hadn't anticipated and had given the veteran quite a hard time.

"Now that two veterans have appeared, could there be a third?"

Chu Ge thought apprehensively, this Survival Trial was just too cruel!

There was no fairness at all!

If they were all a bunch of ants, there might be a chance of winning, but now there were centipedes, spiders, cockroaches, and he was just an ant, who could only win by relying on wisdom and endurance.

He had to consider the worst-case scenarios, thinking more to avoid panic.

Time continued to pass.

After Rat Woman entered the closet, she hadn't come out again, and Chu Ge had no idea if Red Ant was still alive.

Doing nothing while constantly tensing one's body was exhausting.

To conserve Physical Strength, Chu Ge reluctantly exited his color-changing state.

He lay on a piece of scrap paper, glancing in various directions from time to time.

As eleven o'clock approached, Tang Xuejia stood up and took a set of pajamas from the closet before leaving the room.

As soon as she left, the British Shorthair cat also slipped out.

Soon, Chu Ge saw a Stilt-legged Spider crawl out from behind the picture frame hanging above the desk on the wall. It was the size of a child's palm.

To the average person, such a large spider was definitely terrifying, let alone for Chu Ge who was merely an ant.

"The Spider's Speed is very fast, definitely faster than me. I must keep an absolute distance from it."

Chu Ge thought to himself, his gaze instinctively turning towards the gap between the air conditioner and the wall, unsure if the centipede was still hiding there.

A little while passed.

Suddenly, he spotted three cockroaches scurrying out from behind the curtain, chasing and playing with each other enthusiastically.

The Rat Woman then bolted out of the closet, surprisingly attacking the three cockroaches that were much larger than her.

"A veteran who has mastered Survival Skills really is different."

Chu Ge sighed inwardly and began to watch the battle, hoping to see these Survivors fight to the death.

The centipede from behind the air conditioner quickly crawled to the floor, frightening Chu Ge into immediately tensing up and blending in with the paper scraps.

The five insects started a fierce free-for-all on the floor. Although Rat Woman was the smallest, she was the most ferocious, continuously charging at the three cockroaches and even heading straight for the centipede when it approached.

Madness!

Chu Ge muttered to himself, "Does that thing have an Indestructible Body?"

Rat Woman fought the centipede and three cockroaches without falling behind.

Watching from a high position, Chu Ge observed intently, wanting to learn their combat skills.

About ten minutes went by.

Rat Woman suddenly slipped away. The centipede and the three cockroaches paused, then scattered in different directions.

The most tragic figure in this battle wasn't the cockroaches, nor Rat Woman, but the centipede which left behind several of its legs on the floor.

Compared to the cockroaches, it was smaller, and it seemed to lack potent venom, which is why it suffered a lot.

Footsteps approached, and Tang Xuejia re-entered, toweling her hair while walking in.

She wore a cute Pikachu nightgown, exposing a pair of pale and slender legs. The British Shorthair cat followed behind her.

As soon as the big boss arrived, all the Survivors had to hide.

Tang Xuejia sat on the edge of the bed, toweling her hair while humming a tune.

The British Shorthair cat, however, crawled under the bed, up to something unknown.

Half a minute later.

The British Shorthair emerged, with a centipede in its mouth, its paws pinning it down so it couldn't escape.

In a matter of moments, the cat had devoured the centipede.

To Chu Ge, this centipede was like a train, but to the British Shorthair, it was as thick as yarn, no big deal at all.

Chu Ge couldn't help but mourn for it silently.

He had thought the centipede would become one of the overlords of the Survival Arena, but it met its end so quickly.

Clearly a novice, lucky but unable to seize the opportunity.

After eating the centipede, the British Shorthair licked its paws and then moved to Tang Xuejia's feet, giving them a light lick.

Tang Xuejia shook her leg, teasing the British Shorthair with her foot.

Chu Ge felt a tingling on his scalp.

He couldn't bear to watch.

After playing with her phone for a while, Tang Xuejia got up and left the room to dry her hair in the bathroom.

This time the British Shorthair didn't follow her; its gaze was locked on a corner of the ceiling where a Stilt-legged Spider was perched.

It just quietly watched the Stilt-legged Spider, silent as the grave.

Chu Ge really wanted to know what the Stilt-legged Spider was feeling.

Luckily, this British Shorthair couldn't climb walls, otherwise, it would be done for.

But why was this Stilt-legged Spider exposing itself by staying motionless there?

Is it arrogant because of its superior abilities?

If Chu Ge put himself in the shoes of that Stilt-legged Spider, who in the entire Survival Arena would he be afraid of?

All these emotions could only be turned into a sigh.

Why did I have to become a little ant...

It's so unfair!

As Tang Xuejia's footsteps approached, the Stilt-legged Spider quickly scurried behind the curtain, it seemed this fellow knew the principle of not showing off against the wind.

Upon entering the room, Tang Xuejia closed the door, ready to go to sleep.

Suddenly, she walked over to the window, preparing to draw the curtains.

As she pulled the curtains, the Stilt-legged Spider fell to the floor, startling her as she instinctively looked down.

"Ahh—"

A piercing scream shattered the night, causing Chu Ge to shudder all over.

A flurry of footsteps came from outside the door.

Chu Ge was so nervous he immediately changed color and didn't dare to move.

Soon Tang Xuejia's parents rushed in.

"What happened?"

"Xiao Jia, are you alright?"

Facing her parents' queries, Tang Xuejia hurried back to the door, pointing at the wall and exclaiming, "Spider! A big spider!"

The Stilt-legged Spider could only hide on the ceiling, trembling, keeping away from the ground.

Tang Xuejia's father, with glasses and a loose-fitting robe, pushed his glasses up and chuckled, "This type of spider is beneficial; it shows that there are many cockroaches in the house, it shouldn't be killed."

Chu Ge nearly fainted; Uncle, please just kill it!

"Oh my, just get it out of here, I'm scared!"

Tang Xuejia stamped her feet in frustration, her mother was scared too, berating her father with her.

Under the urging of mother and daughter, Tang Xuejia's father had no choice but to take a broom, open the window and force the Stilt-legged Spider out.

The Stilt-legged Spider was clearly a newbie; as soon as it saw the window open, it rushed straight out.

It missed out on the hidden reward of the Survival Trial.
