Chapter 103 Fame Spreads in the Arena [Third Update]
Xiao Poor Thing fell deep into thought.
She felt Gu Tianjiao made sense.
Emotions can make people lose their reason; in this life-and-death Survival Competition, it's all harm with no benefit.
"The vice-captain is right, we women indeed cannot trust in love in the Survival Arena," Xiao Poor Thing said earnestly.
Gu Tianjiao didn't continue the conversation and began to quicken her pace.
...
Chu Ge waited in place for five hours, but still, Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing didn't show up.
He gave up waiting and continued on his way.
Dusk fell once again.
As the number of Survivors decreased, the thrilling adventures Chu Ge had anticipated no longer existed.
He even began to miss that Mosasaur.
As always, from time to time, he leaped out of the ocean's surface.
He saw Survivors in the sky fighting again—two birds of prey, roughly the same size, locked in a tight struggle.
After a while, one of the birds plummeted down, falling towards the horizon.
Chu Ge immediately moved closer.
His Speed was very fast, so as not to lose sight of the bird of prey.
It wasn't until they were close that Chu Ge could see the species of the fallen bird clearly.
It was a Spear Falcon, covered with white feathers, dotted with many black spots, incredibly majestic.
The Spear Falcon had broken a wing, the bone protruding, a ghastly and horrific sight.
Splash!
It hit the water, throwing up a splash.
It didn't die on impact but quickly rose to the surface, flapping its wings, trying to take flight.
Chu Ge appeared five meters away, his head emerging from the water, quietly watching it.
When it noticed Chu Ge, it froze in place.
After a long pause.
It said with an awkward smile, "Hello, brother."
Chu Ge asked curiously, "Doesn't the Sky Arena have a range limit? How come you haven't been eliminated for falling into the ocean?"
Hearing his voice, the Spear Falcon inexplicably relaxed.
"It does have a limit, but it's very large. As for being eliminated after falling into the ocean, it's because most birds, if they fall into the sea, it means they've run out of Physical Strength and will drown sooner or later," the Spear Falcon answered.
It changed its tone and continued, "Brother, let's become friends. You protect me for a while, and when my injuries heal, I'll go back to fight. After the Survival Competition, we'll add each other as friends, and I'll transfer you some money in real life."
Chu Ge squinted and smiled, "How much money? It better not be too little."
"Of course, it won't be little, at least this amount," the Spear Falcon said proudly, lying on the surface of the sea and lifting one claw.
"Four thousand?" Chu Ge exclaimed with joy.
The Spear Falcon's eyes showed contempt as it said, "Forty thousand, how about that?"
Chu Ge laughed, "Of course that's fine!"
Upon hearing this, the Spear Falcon heaved a sigh of relief.
It continued to smile, "I appreciate..."
Splash!
All of a sudden, Chu Ge bit it and pulled it into the ocean.
Less than half a minute later.
"You have successfully hunted an enemy and received 200 Survival Points!"
"As this Survivor has already hunted two enemies, you receive an additional 200 Survival Points!"
"Chuge Siqi from the Pacific Ocean Arena makes his first hunt of a Sky Arena Survivor!"
The third announcement could be heard not only by Chu Ge but also throughout the Pacific Ocean Arena and the Pacific Ocean Sky Arena.
Chu Ge was frustrated; since it was a first kill, why wasn't there an additional reward?
Could he only boast about it?
...
When Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing heard the announcement from the Survival Arena, they were stunned.

"The captain is impressive, killing even Survivors from the Sky Arena."
Xiao Poor Thing said with admiration, and Gu Tianjiao also felt a sense of awe.
This guy is really making a name for himself!
That's good, too. For a Survival Team to grow, reputation is very important.
Having a well-known expert as a face card can play a certain role in promotion.
In a distant part of the ocean.
A hermit crab poked its head out of the sand, muttering to itself, "Chuge Siqi... that young Lion, I didn't expect him to grow so fast."
"It looks like the agreement between him and me might need some reconsideration."
Tens of kilometers away.
A black and white striped sea snake swam along, cursing incessantly: "That damn lion! I'll **** his ****"
...
Chu Ge didn't know how many Survivors remembered him, but after killing the Spear Falcon, he kept moving forward.
From now on, he also set his sights on the skies above.
Picking off occasional airborne Survivors didn't seem like a bad idea.
Night fell once again.
He dived to the seabed and rested in a reef cave.
Many small sea creatures also loved to burrow into such holes; perhaps he could even lie in wait and get some food.
The ocean at night was silent and oppressive.
Chu Ge felt drowsy, falling into a state between sleep and wakefulness.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Boom, boom, boom—
A series of roaring sounds woke Chu Ge, and he noticed that the seawater was surging very rapidly.
"What's happening?"
He thought anxiously and instinctively poked his head out of the cave entrance to check the situation.
In the darkness, he saw massive shadows swimming closer.
Mosasaur!
He nearly pissed himself, but then he thought, there's only one Mosasaur, not so many.
He watched carefully.
One by one, enormous figures swept past him, some large, some small, but even the smallest was bigger than him.
He took a breath of relief.
They were whales.
By the looks of it, they seemed to be sperm whales, large and bulky with small heads, broad mouths, and many tumor-like protrusions on top.
"Strange, why are there so many sperm whales?"
Chu Ge was astonished; such a phenomenon was rare, at least he hadn't seen it before.
Was there a pod of killer whales chasing after them?
The thought made him nervous again.
Killer whales not only hunt whales, but they might also take a bite out of him if they saw him.
Killer whales actually don't belong to the whale family but are closer in genetic relation to dolphins, being part of the delphinidae family.
In the animal kingdom, killer whales are one of the most stable social species and are the true rulers of today's oceans.
Even Great White Sharks get bullied by them!
Soon, the pod of whales moved away from the reef Chu Ge was hiding in, and then, he saw one killer whale after another swoop past on both sides.
Just as expected!
Chu Ge immediately changed color, knowing that even with his strength, encountering a group of killer whales could be very dangerous.
"Did you find that guy?"
"No, can't tell which one it is."
To the left, the voices of Survivors communicating suddenly sounded; it seemed two Survivors had mingled in with the pod of killer whales.
There was also a Survivor among the group of whales up ahead.
Although Chu Ge was tempted, he did not foolishly stir up trouble.
Then, the seawater churned again, and Chu Ge, filled with dread, saw the surrounding waters turn red.
Blood!
"Fuck! What kind of monster is that!"
"Should we run?"
Exclamations from the two nearby Survivors reached him, and Chu Ge couldn't help but look out.
He saw countless killer whales and sperm whales entangled together, with blood fog spreading through the ocean, where Chu Ge caught glimpses of a huge creature writhing among the group.
Mosasaur!
Faced with the terrifying Mosasaur, the killer whales grouped together and attacked en masse, triggering a massive battle.
The rulers of today's oceans were challenging the ruler of the ancient seas!
Chu Ge couldn't help but marvel at the killer whales' bravery.
Soon, every killer whale joined the fray, none flinching from the fight.
Probably those two Survivors also plunged into the thick of it.
Blood swirled with the seawater, making it hard for Chu Ge to tell if it was the Mosasaur's blood.
