Survival Arena
Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Somnambulism

Chu Ge paid no attention to the Chimpanzee, and he wasn't clear if the American Lion was indeed an undercover agent.

After all, he was an undercover agent himself, and moreover, a solitary one at that.

The Chimpanzee was anxious, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Continue the ambush,"

Chu Ge said coldly, frightening the Chimpanzee into quickly turning around and hiding in the forest.

Immediately afterward, he continued to move to the pile of rocks, lay down, and once again changed color.

The Chimpanzee hid deep in the small forest, lying down and not daring to climb the trees again.

He was still questioning life.

"Is the American Lion really an undercover agent?"

He was uneasy, with a sense of impending collapse.

Chu Ge wouldn't say, leaving him as restless as if a cat was scratching at his heart.

Both continued their concealed wait.

And wait they did, for the better part of the day.

As dusk neared, at last an animal approached.

A behemoth!

A Saltwater Crocodile!

The creature strolled leisurely along the river channel, its demeanor like that of a boss, insolently laid-back.

Chu Ge squinted, tensed his body, and merged seamlessly with the pile of rocks.

"No matter if this fellow is an undercover agent or not, he's my opponent. How should I hunt him down?"

While waiting, Chu Ge fell into deep thought.

The Chimpanzee in the bushes also saw the silhouette of the Saltwater Crocodile.

"So big..." he couldn't help but swallow nervously.

What did six meters mean?

Standing up, it was nearly as tall as a three-story residential building!

The Saltwater Crocodile, fearless, walked straight up to the carcass of the Sika Deer.

It bit into the Sika Deer and then thrashed wildly.

Chu Ge immediately thought of the terrible fate of the Black Blind.

So the Black Blind had indeed been killed by this creature.

It seemed the Saltwater Crocodile was undoubtedly the undercover agent.

Swiftly, the Saltwater Crocodile tore the Sika Deer apart and began to feast.

The scene was vicious, causing the Chimpanzee to shake with terror.

After finishing the Sika Deer's carcass, the Saltwater Crocodile continued with the American Lion's.

Five minutes later, the Saltwater Crocodile had eaten its fill.

It looked towards the pile of rocks and said with a smile, "You've been watching the show for so long, isn't it about time you came out?"

Chu Ge didn't move.

What if this guy was just bluffing?

"Your Change Color Ability is too unskilled in front of me," the Saltwater Crocodile continued with a laugh.

Chu Ge exhaled, having no choice but to reveal himself.

He looked at the Saltwater Crocodile and asked, "How did you know about my Survival Skills?"

The Saltwater Crocodile laughed and said, "I exchanged for snake-like vision; my eyes have thermal imaging."

Chu Ge was silent.

These cunning old timers really do think of everything.

Never mind.

Chu Ge turned to leave.

In a direct confrontation, he couldn't kill the Saltwater Crocodile, and the Saltwater Crocodile wouldn't be able to kill him either. It was better to conserve his Physical Strength.

"Hey, where are you from? Want to make friends? My friends and I have created an exclusive club for Survivors in reality. I can invite you to join. We'll pay you a salary every month, guaranteeing you a wealthy life. You won't need to give anything.

Just help out when the club is in trouble," the Saltwater Crocodile called out to Chu Ge, issuing an invitation.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge immediately thought of the big-shot Gao Fei had talked about.

Could it be that there are quite a few such clubs and companies in reality?

"How many such organizations are there?" Chu Ge asked.

The Saltwater Crocodile smiled and said, "Not many. Only those with substantial wealth can maintain so many Survivors. After all, the lowest salary we offer is ten thousand Yuan. Some big shots are lured by others with a monthly salary of a million. Our club has one of those big shots."

Chu Ge thought for a moment and said, "We'll add each other as friends after the Survival Competition, and we'll talk then."

Having said that, he turned and left.

The Chimpanzee hurried out of the forest and followed in his footsteps.

"Chimpanzee, aren't you afraid he's an undercover agent?" the Saltwater Crocodile said with a laugh.

The Chimpanzee paused for a moment, looked back, and huffed, "What I want is not now, but the future."

After saying this, he chased after Chu Ge with a swagger and high spirits.

The Saltwater Crocodile narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy cold.

...

Night had fallen.

This was the third night of the Survival Competition.

Chu Ge and the Chimpanzee climbed up a tree to rest.

Chu Ge could climb trees too, but his movements were slow; he couldn't leap agilely from branch to branch like Gu Tianjiao and the American Lion.

The Chimpanzee was excited and began to chat with Chu Ge about the Survival Team and his own experiences.

Most of the time, Chu Ge just listened without speaking.

Gradually, he fell into sleep.

He slept for about three or four hours before he woke up again.

In the deep of the night, the woods were solitary.

Suddenly, he discovered that the Chimpanzee was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did that guy go?"

Chu Ge frowned, muttering to himself in confusion.

He looked up, but within the range of his eyesight, he couldn't even see a single monkey hair.

Could it be that the Chimpanzee had met with trouble?

He hesitated about whether to go look for him.

At that moment, rustling sounds came from the bushes not far away.

He looked down and saw the Chimpanzee walking out of the bushes like a ghost.

The guy moved awkwardly, like a walking corpse.

After watching for a while, Chu Ge felt that he was sleepwalking.

Incredible.

To dare sleepwalking in the Survival Competition!

Looking for an early grave?

Chu Ge roared, the sound echoing under the night sky.

The Chimpanzee was startled and shuddered all over, waking up from his dream.

"Don't eat me! Don't eat me..."

He adopted the stance of Wing Chun, shouting in terror, continually looking around for the enemy.

Chu Ge watched him speechlessly.

The Chimpanzee quickly realized that the roar just now was Chu Ge's voice.

He hastily climbed back up the tree and came beside Chu Ge, resentfully saying, "Big brother, why did you kick me down?"

Chu Ge gave him a look and said irritably, "You were sleepwalking, and you blame me for kicking you?"

Sleepwalking?

The Chimpanzee was stunned, as if it was the first time someone had said that about him.

"Usually sleepwalking is associated with schizophrenia or madness unless you are a child," said Chu Ge with a teasing smile.

The Chimpanzee smiled awkwardly, "My mind is very normal. Big brother, don't scare me."

"Is that so?"

Chu Ge said, with a smile that was not quite a smile. He thought this guy must have been severely traumatized after entering the Survival Arena and had developed some mental issues.

Since the Chimpanzee wouldn't admit it, he felt too lazy to say more.

But in the future, if he were to make this guy a teammate, could he end up getting stabbed in the back?

Sleepwalkers often do risky things, even killing people.

Chu Ge noted this detail and thus lost the desire to sleep.

"Let's go, let's hunt under the cover of darkness."

Chu Ge got up and said, then jumped down from the tree.

The Chimpanzee yawned and quickly followed.

So far, Chu Ge had killed five enemies: the Sulcata Tortoise, the Zebra, the Hyena, the Sika Deer, and the American Lion, accumulating a total of 1300 Survival Points.

He felt hopeful about contending for the first place in the kill count, so he didn't want to waste time.

They moved on, leaving the woods and beginning to climb the mountain.

The Shennongjia mountains at night were filled with mystery and horror.

The Chimpanzee walked very cautiously, keeping a very close distance to Chu Ge.

They walked for nearly forty minutes.

Sounds came from ahead.

A Kangaroo was seen leaping swiftly forth, with a Cheetah following closely behind.

Upon seeing a teammate, the Chimpanzee excitedly shouted, "Hey!"

"Run! He's an undercover, trying to kill me!"

The Kangaroo shouted in fright, causing the Chimpanzee to quickly raise his Wooden Spear, ready to fight.

Chu Ge raised an eyebrow. The Kangaroo couldn't beat the Cheetah?

...

In the last chapter, Chu Ge received an additional 400 Survival Points for killing the American Lion. It was previously written as 200 and has been corrected.
