Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Tense Start [Third Release]
"You've got it easy, as long as you don't run into humans, surviving ten days shouldn't be hard."
Chu Ge said with a smile to Gu Tianjiao, noting her frustration.
Kingly Crabs might look fierce, but in the ocean, they're just chickens.
They are not fast movers, and being favored by humans, the common enemy of all, is just sad.
Gu Tianjiao said in annoyance, "It looks like I'm going to be the second one to go."
The only creature weaker than her is the Flounder.
Sharks don't like to eat King Crabs, do they?
Afterward, they began to adapt to their bodies.
Chu Ge discovered that his Attribute Panel showed a Speed Value of 411.
A Cheetah's Speed Value is around 200, and a cheetah's top speed can reach about 115 kilometers per hour.
That means, Chu Ge's peak speed in the water could reach at least 230 kilometers per hour.
The top speed of a dolphin is just about 50 kilometers per hour.
Chu Ge could very well become the fastest dolphin!
However, that was the ideal state, and he still had to fully adapt to the dolphin's body.
He started to swim back and forth quickly, his speed was incredible, at least in the eyes of Nangong's group, it was unbelievably fast.
The visibility under the sea was very low, it was hard to see other creatures beyond twenty meters.
In such circumstances, when Chu Ge burst forward at speed, it gave them the impression of a ghostly presence appearing and disappearing at will.
The others were also adapting to their bodies.
Gu Tianjiao herself had exchanged for speed-related Survival Skills, and even as a King Crab, she was still agile.
Nangong, now a Giant Squid, tried ramming into the seabed rocks and found his body to be as hard as the Survival Entity, which made him feel relieved.
Ye Wukong's Survival Skills were not outstanding, as his previous Survival Competitions had mostly ended in failure, and it was only after learning Wing Chun that he started to improve, so he had no impressive Survival Skills to show.
This month, like Chu Ge, he had exchanged for Cheetah Speed, but his attack power had not increased.
Flounders were too small to achieve hundred kilometers per hour speeds, making them the weakest link in the ocean team.
Xiao Poor Thing had exchanged for Cheetah Speed in addition to Throat of Noise.
It was not just the two of them; Nangong did the same.
However, because of the influence of other Survival Skills, their post-exchange speeds were still different.
Nangong's skills, which had an added weight effect, definitely impacted the growth of his speed.
Weight affects Speed.
The same Survival Skills give different enhancements to different species.
Lions and Cheetahs have similar body structures, so the effects post-exchange aren't very different.
Chu Ge focused on adapting to his body, occasionally leaping out of the water, to find the sea endlessly vast in all directions, with no sight of human ships or islands.
After swimming for an hour, he had adapted to his new body.
He wasn't sure how fast he was, but he felt very fast, and even if he didn't reach his ideal data effect, he could easily survive.
He returned to the group.
"Your speed is very fast, I don't think there are many sea creatures that can catch up with you, unless it's another Survivor. It looks like we have a good chance of winning," analyzed Gu Tianjiao.
Nangong, Ye Wukong, and Xiao Poor Thing all looked at Chu Ge with admiration and envy.
Chu Ge laughed, "So what do we do next, move on or just stay here? It seems safe, but I have a feeling that danger will find us sooner or later."
The most important thing about survival is hunting for food.
Over ten days, they couldn't possibly not eat anything.
Gu Tianjiao pondered, "Let's follow those small schools of fish. We're actually okay; we're fairly common marine creatures. Later on, we'll just hide our identities as Survivors."
No one objected, and after an hour of activity, they started to feel a bit hungry.
"Survival Team—Atlantis has successfully hunted down ten enemies."
The indifferent female voice suddenly arose, startling them.
Survival Team ranked fourth, Atlantis?
In just a little over an hour, they had killed ten enemies?
"It seems that a survival team has run into them," Nangong said anxiously.
He was scared just thinking about those behemoths at the top of the leaderboard.
Chu Ge reassured, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Forget about Atlantis; even encountering other survival teams is difficult—the Pacific Ocean is too vast."
Gu Tianjiao followed up, "Everyone, be extra vigilant as we move forward. Don't let your guard down. The ocean hides many dangers, some of which can't even be found by human networks."
They planned their division of labor—Xiao Poor Thing took up the rear, Chu Ge led the way, and Gu Tianjiao, Nangong, and Ye Wukong were in the middle.
They maintained a distance of several meters from one another, at different horizontal levels to avoid being identified as survivors.
Along the way, Chu Ge continued hunting and eating.
Dolphins are carnivorous creatures, and medium-sized and small fish were his targets.
Nangong did the same, while Xiao Poor Thing preyed on small fish. Ahead was a vast school of sardines, enough for them to have a feast.
The most difficult were Gu Tianjiao and Ye Wukong— their prey was small, so it was hard to find.
The journey ahead was easy, and they saw a magnificent underwater world they had never seen before.
Blue light fell on the desert floor of the ocean, with countless shellfish crawling.
Chu Ge saw a small octopus picking up a large clamshell. The little creature promptly crawled inside, turning it into a home and using its tentacles to close the shell.
He also saw a large crab fighting with an electric eel, giving off a vibe akin to a brave warrior battling an evil dragon.
"Survival Team—Statue of Liberty has successfully hunted down ten enemies!"
The indifferent female voice echoed once more. This was already the fifth survival team to kill more than ten enemies.
Even Chu Ge felt a chill hearing this.
More than ten survival teams had already been wiped out, and this was just the beginning!
"There's a smell of blood up ahead."
Gu Tianjiao suddenly called out. Since they were quite far apart from each other, they had to raise their voices to be heard.
Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately became cautious.
After swimming about a kilometer forward, they came upon a massive carcass.
It was a gray whale with a huge body covered in brownish-gray spots, only its head remaining—that alone was three to four meters long.
Blood continuously oozed from its body, attracting many small carnivorous fish that circled around.
"What kind of killer could tear apart such a huge whale?"
Ye Wukong asked nervously, his voice trembling. He instinctively looked around, fearing some ferocious beast might suddenly leap out.
Gu Tianjiao said in a grave tone, "There are many tooth marks on the edges of its body. It's probably from some kind of large shark or killer whale. Be careful and go around."
The very next second, she suddenly yelled, "Everyone, dive down toward the sea bed!"
At her words, everyone immediately dove down, hiding scattered among the coral forests.
Chu Ge looked up to see a massive shadow sweep by; he couldn't make out the enormous creature but saw that it was moving very fast, its mouth engulfing many small carnivorous fish.
"Great white shark? Or a killer whale?"
Chu Ge thought in fear, but he felt that even a great white shark or a killer whale couldn't possibly be that large.
A prehistoric megalodon?
A kun?
Bullshit...
