Survival Arena

The chains rattled, and by following the trajectory of the sinking chains, it was clear that the vengeful ghost had fled.

It had actually been frightened away by King Kuihu!

Chu Ge and the others fell into silence.

They had never imagined that King Kuihu's intimidating power could be so terrifying.

A vengeful ghost is an entity that has already half stepped into the embrace of Death, yet in the eyes of that ghost, King Kuihu was clearly more dreadful than death itself.

King Kuihu sneered contemptuously, saying, "Lion, now we can have a proper game, I'll wait for you at South Peak!"

With these words, he swiftly departed.

Chu Ge and the others continued in silence.

For a long time.

"Too arrogant!"

Ye Wukung complained indignantly.

Nangong hummed, "Then why didn't you say anything just now?"

Ye Wukung curled his lip and said quietly, "If I had spoken up, we would all be exterminated by now."

Xiao Poor Thing and Arno rolled their eyes, no matter what you say, you're right.

"Let's go, let's leave this place first to avoid encountering the vengeful ghost again," Gu Tianjiao urged.

Her mood was somewhat heavy, as it was clear that King Kuihu had put a lot of pressure on her.

Chu Ge nodded and continued to lead the way.

First, to leave this Skywalk section.

After a cautious and trembling journey of more than ten minutes, they finally left the Skywalk with difficulty.

They quickly vanished into the woods of the mountain.

The snow on Huashan seemed to be melting; as they hurried on their way, Chu Ge and the others would step into puddles.

Along the way, they were very cautious, and they dared not even speak too much for fear of encountering King Kuihu or a vengeful ghost.

As for other survivors, they were actually looking forward to meeting them.

Late at night.

They stopped on a grassy area halfway up the mountain where the trees were dense and it was easy to hide.

To prevent surprises, they took shifts in groups of three for the watch.

Xiao Poor Thing and Gu Tianjiao split up.

Gu Tianjiao's sense of smell could also be of some help.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning.

"Not good! There are many human scents!"

Gu Tianjiao suddenly exclaimed, startling everyone to their feet.

She immediately turned and fled, throwing back, "Speed, follow me!"

Chu Ge and the others immediately followed, most of them still not fully awake.

But with humans nearby, they had to hide.

According to Gu Tianjiao, humans were probably conducting a manhunt.

The target might be a tiger, but if they were discovered, they would share the tiger's fate.

"Roar—"

A tiger's roar came from the distance, once again from King Kuihu!

This guy was deliberately attracting the attention of the humans!

"That direction seems to be South Peak..."

Xiao Poor Thing hesitated, suddenly feeling that they should keep their distance from King Kuihu.

Chu Ge said in a low voice, "It's fine, let's go over there and take a look first. Although King Kuihu is mad, he's not stupid. He wouldn't do this without being confident in his ability to evade human capture."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Huashan's forest was vast, and even with a thorough search, it would be very difficult to find King Kuihu who had human-like intelligence in a short time.

However, what they didn't know was that the buzz about Huashan was reaching new heights on the internet.

Besides tigers, tourists had also captured footage of other animals.

Crocodiles!

Pythons!

Lions!

Polar Bears!

And more!

All sorts of videos caused an uproar online, and while the authorities strove to delete posts, the speedy hands of netizens kept the buzz growing ever higher, even threatening to explode the internet engines.

"Here they come! The animal kingdom launches a powerful assault on humanity!"

"They're planning to claim the mountain as king!"

"For world peace, let's give Mt. Huashan to them," he said.

"Who's behind this? The American Empire?" another person queried.

"The American Empire: 'You've discovered us again?'"

"Has it come, the last war of '99? It seems I need to show my hand..." he declared.

Online, the event sparked intense debate, mostly focusing on whether or not humanity was guilty. Of course, a significant number of people found humor in the situation, simply regarding it as interesting.

At the foot of Mt. Huashan, an increasing number of armed vehicles arrived.

The troops present weren't regular armed police but experienced Special Forces, each equipped with a tranquilizer gun and a pistol.

"Remember, the primary objective is to control these animals, which include several rare and protected species. However! If your lives are in danger, you are permitted to shoot to kill!" a middle-aged man in military uniform commanded, surveying the troops lined up before him with a voice full of authority.

In the distance, many journalists were kept outside the parking area, furiously taking photos as flashes flickered intermittently.

The incident caused such a stir, especially following several similar cases of rare animal gatherings, suggesting the brewing of a volcanic eruption.

Next to a black business car, a man and a woman stood.

The man was dressed in a black coat, wearing a knit cap, and sporting sunglasses on his face.

The woman appeared ordinary, dressed like most people, with nothing particularly striking about her appearance.

"Boss, with all the commotion this time, can you finally tell me the secret behind it all?" the woman asked, holding a smartphone in her hand.

Her gaze occasionally drifted towards Mt. Huashan, where she faintly heard the roar of tigers.

The man in the coat lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "All of this is God's will."

The woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not a child. Who are you trying to fool? With so many animals, is there an organization conducting covert science research or is it about illegal animal trade?"

The man in the coat just smiled and shook his head, not answering any further.

The cold wind howled, and the vastness of Mt. Huashan loomed in the snow mist, partially obscured.

...

On a slope of the South Peak, King Kuihu leaped and swung his claws incessantly.

Surrounding the mountain, clouds swirled, and the sun shone from afar, creating a magnificent scenic view.

King Kuihu wasn't engaging in morning exercises, he was in battle!

Several cuts had already appeared on his body, and on the grass, alongside his paw prints, were tracks of another animal, not much smaller than those of King Kuihu himself.

King Kuihu couldn't see the presence of the Vengeful Ghost, which put him at a disadvantage.

"Chubao Anliang, do you really want to fight to the death with me?" King Kuihu roared furiously.

A chilling voice responded, "You've killed so many people, it's time for retribution!"

Hearing this, King Kuihu became increasingly enraged.

If only he could see his adversary, he would have slaughtered him by now!

Damn it!

Grinding his teeth, King Kuihu chose to leave.

Chubao Anliang pursued relentlessly, and they both charged towards the mountain base.

...

In the woods, near a cliff, Chu Ge and others had surrounded a small rabbit.

The tiny rabbit trembled, pleading, "Big brothers, I was wrong... please let me go?"

"Afterwards we can add each other as friends. If you need anything, just command me."

Ye Wukong raised his hand, leaning against the cliff and using his body to block the rabbit, saying viciously, "They're just empty promises, aren't they? Now, what can you offer right now?"

The rabbit was terrified, "I'm a male."

"Then I like you even more!"

"You! Beast..."

"What?"

"Big brother... can you go easy?"

Listening, Chu Ge and the others were speechless, unable to bear it.

"Get it done quickly. If you're not going to do it, then let Xiao Poor Thing handle it. She needs points to get stronger anyway!" Gu Tianjiao said impatiently.

Hearing this, Ye Wukong laughed, "Alright, let her do it!"

The rabbit despaired, shouting, "I've already abandoned my pride! You guys..."

"Someone's coming! A lot of people! Hurry up!"

Gu Tianjiao suddenly shouted, prompting the others to look in all directions.

Xiao Poor Thing immediately pounced and killed the rabbit.

The group quickly dashed in one direction.

After about a hundred meters,

The bushes ahead suddenly rose, revealing numerous dark muzzles aimed at them.

These were camouflaged Special Forces Soldiers, all looking at them indifferently.
