Under the veil of night, in the secluded mountain woods.
A great chase was unfolding.
The six mbers of the Suicide Group were relentlessly pursuing the rhino.
They were surprised to find that the rhino's speed was very fast!
Even Chu Ge, the fastest among them, couldn't catch up to it quickly.
Of course, there were environntal factors at play, with steep mountain forests and a complex weave of trees. Chu Ge could not charge straight through like the rhino and had to navigate around various obstacles.
"It seems that this guy's strength lies mainly in physical fitness, without any special survival skills."
Gu Tianjiao whispered.
Special survival skills refer to abilities like poison, enhanced senses, or spikes; Chu Ge's geothermal ability also falls under special survival skills - most species don't have the ability to beco scalding hot.
As long as there are no special survival skills, they are actually quite easy to deal with.
A few minutes passed.
Suddenly, the rhino stopped in its tracks, facing a cliff. Looking down, it seed like a bottomless abyss with swirling snow-mist, as if countless demons and ghosts lurked below.
It looked back at Chu Ge and the others with a look of terror.
"Can you give a chance?" it asked through gritted teeth, its voice filled with panic.
Chu Ge smiled and said, "What kind of chance?"
Nangong snorted, "You forgot to add a 'Little Arthur' before that!"
The rhino quickly responded, "I haven't even killed the enemy yet. Treat as a Pig and let roam free for a while longer. Killing now will only net you 200 Survival Points. Wait another two days, and you could gain nearly a thousand Survival Points, or even more."
It looked at Chu Ge with pleading eyes.
If the rhino could kneel, it probably would have already done so.
"Well said."
Chu Ge hesitated, while Gu Tianjiao quietly circled around.
Ye Wukong swung his wooden stick and chuckled, "Let stab you three more tis, and if you don't die, I'll let you go."
The rhino was infuriated.
It hated Ye Wukong to the core and said through clenched teeth, "Damned orangutan! A man can be killed but not insulted! Are you really going to humiliate ?"
Ye Wukong found it funny and mocked, "Oh my, have you been watching too many period dramas? You're even speaking to with those strange intonations. I do want to insult you, what of it?"
At those words, the rhino's eyes instantly turned red.
It looked like it was ready to fight to the death.
"Bro, I was wrong…" it began to beg once more.
Ye Wukong imdiately burst into uproarious laughter, his laugh wild and unrestrained.
Just then, Gu Tianjiao suddenly made her move, leaping onto the rhino's back, biting its neck.
Frightened, the rhino panicked and instinctively turned to run, only to leap into the air and fall off the cliff.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Tianjiao leaped gracefully off its back and landed safely on Chu Ge.
Chu Ge didn't dodge, he even lowered his body, intentionally catching Gu Tianjiao.
As soon as Gu Tianjiao clung to him, she instinctively extended her claws.
Chu Ge winced in pain, his face contorting as he cursed, "You vixen, are you trying to kill ?"
After stabilizing herself, Gu Tianjiao imdiately retracted her claws.
She didn't apologize, rely lying on top of Chu Ge, licking his wounds.
"Oh no, what a pity!"
Ye Wukong lay at the edge of the cliff, wailing.
That rhino was equivalent to Survival Points!
Arno grunted, "It was originally mine, but you just had to ddle!"
He was quite dissatisfied, believing he could have killed the rhino.
Nangong and Xiao Poor Thing consoled him, trying to calm him down.
"It's dead, I've earned 600 Survival Points."
Gu Tianjiao said coldly, causing everyone to look at her with strange expressions.
Chu Ge said solemnly, "Have you beco more poisonous?"
Hearing this, Gu Tianjiao, lying on his back, imdiately bit his neck, his skin feeling her sharp fangs.
"I was just kidding..." Chu Ge said helplessly.
The others burst into laughter, the atmosphere once again becoming cheerful, and even Arno couldn't help but chuckle.
The group rested for half an hour before moving on.
They continued toward the direction of South Peak.
An hour later.
They ca to a Skywalk that wound along the mountain cliff.
The pathway was very narrow, made of long planks of wood with no railing, making it dangerously easy to fall off. On the side of the mountain, there were iron chains for tourists to hold onto.
Except for Ye Wukong who could grab it, everyone else had to proceed with extre caution.
Chu Ge and Nangong had the most difficulty since they were large in stature; walking on the Skywalk always made them feel like their center of gravity was unstable.
"Have you guys led us the wrong way?"
Nangong, trembling with fear, called out since falling from here was no laughing matter.
No one answered him.
Chu Ge's nerves were also on edge.
He walked in the front, already regretting his decision, but it was too late to retreat now.
Since it was winter, the wooden boards were slippery, adding to the difficulty of moving forward.
"I hope we don't encounter a Vengeful Ghost at this ti," Arno muttered.
Walking in front, Xiao Poor Thing said nervously, "Bro, can you not jinx us, please?"
"Hehe!"
"You're laughing!"
"Hehe!"
"Boss, can you control Arno? He's scaring on purpose!"
"It's not laughing..."
"Then who is it?"
"Hehehe..."
All of them stopped, listening to that eerie, cold laughter, and all their hairs stood on end.
Under the night sky, without any light, they could only rely on their own night vision to move forward.
They looked back and saw no survivors.
Could it really be a ghost?
"Hehe... To catch six prey all at once, my luck is really not bad..."
The cold laughter sounded again, and Chu Ge abruptly looked up.
Could the Vengeful Ghost be on the iron chain?
He looked carefully and noticed that the iron chain above Arno's head sagged noticeably, indicating that so heavy invisible entity was pressing down on that segnt of the chain.
The others also noticed that segnt of the chain.
Their expressions turned to horror.
Their current position was not suitable for combat at all.
"It's a cat," Xiao Poor Thing whispered, deducing the shape of the animal through her snake-like senses.
Ye Wukong forced a smile and said, "Mr. Vengeful Ghost, give us a chance, will you?"
"What kind of chance?" the Vengeful Ghost asked, his laugh brimming with contempt.
Ye Wukong responded to the Vengeful Ghost using the rhino's rationale.
However, the Vengeful Ghost simply didn't believe it.
"I won't believe that with your lineup, you haven't slain any enemies," the Vengeful Ghost whispered.
The group felt stifled.
They were actually being threatened by a cat!
It was downright humiliating!
Chu Ge racked his brains for a strategy; he dared not leap forward to attack.
With his size, he might knock everyone down.
"Roar——"
Just then, a domineering roar of a tiger echoed under the night sky, causing everyone to look up in shock.
The sound ca from the top of the mountain.
They saw King Kuihu standing on the mountain top, looking down on them with tiger eyes that shone with a cold light, dozens of ters away from them.
Against the moonlight, King Kuihu looked terrifying.
"How is this guy here?" Ye Wukong's face went pale.
Despite his usual bravado, the innate fear he had when he really saw King Kuihu was intensified under the shroud of night.
King Kuihu had already seen Chu Ge and the others, his gaze falling on Chu Ge as he said with a cruel smile, "Lion, we et again!"
He continued, "That Vengeful Ghost, better scram, or else even if you survive, I'll make you wish you were dead! You know who I am, to be marked by is worse than becoming an animal!"
