Chapter 67 No Weakling
Surviving to the end still counts as a loss?"
With the penalty for mission failure, wouldn\'t that make a total deduction of 600 Survival Points?
This...
Chu Ge speculated in his heart as his consciousness sank into darkness.
After a while,
he gradually came to.
When he opened his eyes, what met his gaze were towering straight trees and a gigantic beast.
A very familiar beast.
An African Buffalo!
It was an adult, lying on the ground with its eyelids trembling slightly.
Chu Ge\'s consciousness quickly returned; he opened his eyes wide to survey his surroundings.
Animals lay all around him, and together with him, there were a total of fourteen Survivors.
Apart from the African Buffalo, the other Survivors were no longer small cats and dogs.
Among them was a Lynx.
Chu Ge was pleasantly surprised in his heart—wasn\'t that Gu Tianjiao?
Gu Tianjiao lay in a bed of grass, and it seemed she was about to wake up as well.
Besides her, there were also a Kangaroo, Cheetah, Wild Boar, Turtle, Chimpanzee, White Horse, Sheep, Alaskan Dog, Skunk, Calf, and Peacock.
Chu Ge lay on the ground, quietly observing them with the full bearing of the Lion King on display.
He didn\'t greet Gu Tianjiao.
He wanted to see if Gu Tianjiao would still recognize him.
He had changed completely since the last Survival Competition, not just in body size and muscle development but also in mane and demeanor.
Soon, the Survivors woke up one after another.
All the Survivors were startled when they saw Chu Ge.
Chu Ge, lying on the ground, had extremely well-developed forelimb muscles, resembling a bodybuilder, and that indifferent gaze of his felt like being in a horror movie when faced up close.
Gu Tianjiao was also startled. She sized up Chu Ge with inner amazement.
"What kind of freak is this guy, to have such developed muscles? His survival skills must be very strong."
As she thought this, she also sensed that this male lion\'s scent was familiar.
She inexplicably thought of Chu Ge.
But that thought only flashed by; after all, she had only spent three days with Chu Ge, and with such a drastic change in his physique now, it\'s natural for his scent to change as well.
The Chu Ge of the past had not experienced the great plains; his scent was quite like that of the lions in a zoo.
This male lion in front of her was full of wildness; his eyes were even crazier than those of Black Blind.
"Tsk tsk, Big Brother, you\'ve got some nice muscles there, I wonder if it\'s all for show."
A mocking laugh came through; the African Buffalo lay on the ground, gazing teasingly at Chu Ge.
The atmosphere immediately tensed up.
Just then, Chu Ge slowly stood up; his formidable figure brought an even more oppressive feeling as he rose.
He raised his chin slightly, looking down on the African Buffalo with a hoarse voice, "Did you know? Over the past year, I hunted African Buffaloes every day, I\'ve eaten ones bigger than you. Do you know how big the African Buffaloes on the plains are?"
His voice was soft, yet it struck fear into everyone present.
All the Survivors could feel a sense of killing intent.
This guy was not bluffing.
He had indeed eaten that many African Buffaloes!
"Hmph!"
The African Buffalo snorted coldly, its gaze flickering, but chose not to respond.
Without a clear sense of the opponent\'s strength, it would not act recklessly.
"Ahem, we\'re all teammates here, why be so tense? There are two undercover agents among us; how about we introduce our situations first?" the Kangaroo stepped forward to ease the tension and steered the conversation toward the survival mission.
Gu Tianjiao laughed, "It\'s not two undercover agents, but three. Haven\'t you counted? There are fourteen of us here. This Survival Competition only has a total of twenty-six people. There are twelve on the other side, which means we have one more person than they do. Correspondingly, we have to deal with one extra undercover agent, one potential threat."
Chu Ge blushed with shame. Was this woman so clever because she thought her life was too long?
The other Survivors began to speak up:
"Being on a team all by yourself is really awesome, killing whoever you want."
"What\'s so good about that, without teammates, who can help him?"
"Who is the most suitable to act alone as an undercover agent?"
"The strongest one? No, that would just play right into his hands, wouldn\'t it?"
"Not necessarily, it should be the most inconspicuous one, after all, we still don\'t know the structure of the other faction. We can\'t isolate our strongest individual."
As far as can be seen, Chu Ge and the African Buffalo should be candidates for the strongest.
As for the other Survivors, they have not yet shown their Survival Skills, so it\'s hard to judge.
The one with the most frightening appearance isn\'t necessarily the strongest.
Chu Ge did not interject; he lay on the ground, quietly watching the Survivors discuss.
"If I weren\'t an undercover agent, who would I suspect of being one?"
Chu Ge thought in reverse. First of all, he would suspect himself and the African Buffalo.
Then that Sheep.
And the Kangaroo, the guy who dared to come out and ease the tension, must be confident.
"How should we proceed next, act separately or stick together?" the Alaskan Dog asked.
His gaze fleetingly swept toward the North American Grey Wolf not far away.
The Chimpanzee spoke up, "Of course, we should act separately; Shennongjia is so vast, if we move together, how many enemies can we actually kill in the end?"
He stood nearly one meter forty tall, with well-developed limbs. Although he didn\'t seem as impactful as Chu Ge, he clearly wasn\'t someone to mess with.
His words won the approval of most Survivors, indicating that there were no weaklings in this round of the Survival Competition.
"Then let\'s act separately," the African Buffalo said. After speaking, he was the first to stand up and leave.
The other Survivors followed suit and left.
Gu Tianjiao also got up to leave but was stopped by Chu Ge.
"What is it?"
Gu Tianjiao asked with narrowed eyes. A Lynx is a very beautiful animal, and when she narrowed her eyes, she looked somewhat like a tiger.
Chu Ge looked down at her from above and said hoarsely, "My Survival Entity is almost three years old."
Gu Tianjiao was startled for a moment, and the next second, a murderous intent flashed through her eyes.
A three-year-old Male Lion, isn\'t that looking to mate?
This guy is insulting her!
She slightly lowered her body, assuming a posture ready for combat.
The other Survivors overhearing this scampered off in fright.
In the blink of an eye, only she and Chu Ge were left on the grassland.
Chu Ge said with a smirk, "Can you beat me?"
As soon as his voice fell, Gu Tianjiao suddenly leaped up, using her feet to kick off Chu Ge\'s head to gain leverage and leap onto a tree.
She turned back to look at Chu Ge and said coldly, "Just wait, in this Survival Competition, I won\'t let you survive!"
With that, she readied herself to slip away.
"Wait!"
Chu Ge hastily called out, this time in his normal voice.
At the sound of his voice, Gu Tianjiao immediately stopped. She spun around to look at him, her expression one of shock.
Her voice trembling, she said, "You… Chuge Siqi?"
How could it be!
How had this guy become so strong?

Was he that bold?
At this moment, Gu Tianjiao was plunged into confusion.
