Survival Arena

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Awakening of the Survival Talent

Chu Ge relentlessly pursued the Lion King, chasing each other for three full days.

Then he intentionally slowed down, allowing the Lion King to escape.

The previous battle had severely injured the Lion King, so it dared not stop to fight Chu Ge.

Chu Ge lay on the grass, looking at the herd of antelope ahead, feeling suddenly very tired.

He gasped for breath nonstop, his tongue hanging out.

A sense of fatigue surged, indescribable.

"So forcibly quitting doesn't mean simply vanishing."

Chu Ge murmured, calculating the time, believing one month should be within these two days.

At this moment, he suddenly felt like he was experiencing a natural death.

No pain, no fear, but he could sense his vitality slipping away.

The breathtaking savannah before him seemed so unreal.

He lowered his head, quietly looking ahead.

"I'll be back soon."

"I am human, not a lion."

Chu Ge thought to himself, but the thought of Lusha, Jenny, Two Hair, and Big Hair facing the rest of his life alone brought an intense sadness to his heart.

It was as if he had been reborn twice.

Twice a human, and now he had lived a lion's life again.

He hoped all of this was real, yet feared it being real.

Gradually, his consciousness began to blur.

He lost control over his body.

However, at this moment.

Two spotted hyenas appeared out of nowhere, sniffing his scent and getting closer to him.

Chu Ge felt helpless, not expecting to be eaten by two hyenas before he left.

He didn't even know if he would feel the pain in his current state.

With that thought, he suddenly felt a chill below him.

Sadly, he no longer had the strength to stand up, let alone fight back.

All he could hope for was that his consciousness would fade away faster.

It wasn't long before the two spotted hyenas reached less than three meters in front of him.

He could vaguely see the hunger in their eyes.

Just as he was about to close his eyes.

"Roar——"

A familiar and furious roar tore through the air. Big Hair emerged from the horizon of the savannah, its features ferocious, reaching a speed like never before.

It abandoned the newly acquired pride to search for Chu Ge!

Previously, it had always been Chu Ge who protected it, saved it.

This was the first time it acted as Chu Ge's hero.

Chu Ge was shaken, feeling a mix of excitement, emotion, apprehension, and concern.

This silly thing!

His eyelids began to weigh down, his vision narrowing.

As his consciousness was about to be completely engulfed by darkness, what he heard was the furious roar of Big Hair and the painful howls of the hyenas.

...

"Whew——"

Chu Ge suddenly woke up from a deep dream, springing up from the sofa.

His head was drenched in sweat, he gasped for air, his eyes wide open and bloodshot.

He instinctively looked around as his memory quickly returned.

Survival House!

He had returned!

He was in human form now.

Yet he felt no happiness at all; the last appearance of Big Hair weighed heavy on his heart.

Without him, would that silly creature still be as lively as before?

When it went back, could it regain control of the pride?

The more Chu Ge thought about it, the more despair he felt.

"Due to the Survivor's contact with unconventional survival material within the Survival Entity Experience Scroll, the next Survival Competition will cancel the five-day early task prompt and increase the difficulty of the task."

"Detection indicates that the Survivor's next Survival Competition will have an undercover rule; you will be a standalone faction with no teammates."

The cold female voice rang out, making Chu Ge's eyes widen.

This is freaking...

He suppressed his gloomy mood and brought up his attribute panel:

Survivor: Chuge Siqi

Star Rank: Two Stars

Bite Force: 1321

Forelimb Strength: 541

Hind Limb Strength: 482

Speed: 204

Physical Strength: 217

Survival Entity: African Lion

Survival Skills: Body Color Change, Cheetah Speed, Muscle Strengthening, Bite Force Enhancement

...

Bite force breaking a thousand!

Limb strength also doubled!

Chu Ge looked on in surprise and immediately transformed into a lion state, a muscular male lion appeared inside the Survival House, its golden mane majestic and powerful.

He felt even stronger than when he was on the savanna!

This was the change after adding the survival skills.

The use of this Survival Entity Experience Scroll was truly worth it, one might even say he made a killing!

He noticed the Survival Talent and became very curious about what it was.

Shouldn't talent simply be the survival skills?

"I want to know about unconventional survival substances and survival talent," Chu Ge said softly.

However, the light screen in front of him did not change.

He frowned, could it be that these two pieces of information were not available to the public yet?

He immediately opened the chat window with Gu Tianjiao:

Chuge Siqi: Are you there?

Gu Tianjiao: Yeah.

Chuge Siqi: What are unconventional survival substances? What is survival talent?

Gu Tianjiao: Huh, how do you know about these two things? Unconventional survival substances are substances that can break the regular sequence of genes, they can be good or bad. The Earth has existed for several billion years and biological beings have been constantly evolving; these unconventional substances play a part in that process.

However, they are hard to find, so it requires generations of lineage accumulation. Humans can only understand this as natural selection. You must be careful with unconventional survival substances, many survivors die upon contact, it's like a lethal poison.

Gu Tianjiao: But there are also examples of people who rose to power thanks to unconventional survival substances. Just like the survival talent you mentioned, I previously met a survivor who awakened their talent by consuming a plant attached with an unconventional survival substance. They're now a member of a top fifty ranked survival team.

Gu Tianjiao: Survival talent is a more advanced form of survival skill, I'm not sure what they entail exactly because I have not awakened any myself. How do you know about them? Did you consume an unconventional survival substance and awaken a survival talent?

Chuge Siqi: If it's just like you said, that would be great, but no. A friend of mine was boasting to me, and I got curious and asked around. Other than you, I also asked others, but you are the only one who knows.

Gu Tianjiao: Makes sense, survivors like you who advance to Two Stars after only three matches usually die, it's hard to come across someone more experienced than me.

Chuge Siqi: Yeah, you are really incredible.

Gu Tianjiao: Stay humble.

...

Chu Ge stopped chatting and fell into deep thought.

It seems this really was a stroke of luck.

If he had awakened his survival talent by eating three purple mushrooms, could Big Hair have also undergone a genetic evolution?

With that thought, he exited the Survival House.

It was still night outside, the sound of the TV in the living room continued. Your journey continues with M V L

Chu Ge found himself covered in sweat, and there was a slightly sour smell, but he didn't have time to care about that. He rushed to the desk, turned on the computer, and began searching for news related to lions.

He hoped to see news of Big Hair, yet dreaded seeing it.

Only an hour had passed in reality, yet he had spent nearly three years with Big Hair. How could the two be in the same timeline?

After searching for a while, he couldn't find anything, because there was simply too much information about lions.

Then he suddenly remembered the filming crew that had been following them.

It seemed like they had given them names.

He was called An Ruosi.

Big Hair was called Nashi?

Pffft!

Nas?
