Hearing the sounds of tearing and biting beside him, Chu Ge struggled to regain consciousness, painfully getting to his feet.
Now he could only see with one eye, and in the night, the Pitbull's silhouette seemed so crazed, intent on tearing Xiao Panda into pieces.
Xiao Panda didn't scream; he couldn't anymore.
Chu Ge felt as if the world was spinning, catching a vague glimpse of Xiao Panda's terrible state, and thinking of how Xiao Panda had unhesitatingly saved him, he felt a surge of blood rushing to his crown.
Blood vessels swelled in his left eye as he let out a fierce roar and charged at the Pitbull.
Thud!
The Pitbull staggered from the impact, while Chu Ge felt as if his forehead was about to split open, his brain exploding with pain.
At that moment, he heard a sharp cry of a bird.
Instinctively, he opened his left eye and saw the Vulture swooping down from the sky, its iron claws piercing through the Pitbull's back.
The Pitbull, fierce and tenacious, seemed not to feel pain as it turned around to bite, but tragically missed as the Vulture dodged.
And so, the Vulture began a circuitous combat, its claws like the sickle of the Grim Reaper, occasionally striking down, forcing the Pitbull to focus on him.
"Bald bird! Why must you oppose me?"
the Pitbull asked furiously, looking like a zombie dog with many chunks of flesh torn off by the Gray Wolf, a terrifying sight.
The Vulture's gaze was icy as he replied, "Survival of the fittest, either I become the prey, or you will!"
Meanwhile, the security guards were shocked.
"Any such a big bird!"
"Is that an eagle?"
"Idiot, that's a Vulture!"
"My God, Vultures, wolves, pandas; is our park a zoo?"
"Did anyone call the police yet? Hurry up! The Vulture might also be a protected species!"
The security guards tried to drive away the stray dogs while pulling out their phones to record.
They had a premonition that if this incident were uploaded online, it would definitely go viral!
Or even explode in popularity!
The Gray Wolf shook its head and stood up, moving towards the Pitbull once again.
Its injuries seemed lighter than the Pitbull's, but unlike the Pitbull, which didn't fear pain, the Gray Wolf could feel the true extent of its suffering.
But it had become desperate in its rage.
At this moment, it had truly become a wolf.
It cared not for the humans nearby, nor for its enemy; it only wanted to tear the Pitbull to pieces.
Born a Wild Wolf, it would not be humiliated by a dog!
"Awoooo—"
It raised its head and howled, the sound carrying far and wide.
In the residential areas near the park, many people sleeping were startled awake, and some night owls were frightened.
A wolf's howl for miles, stirring fear in people's hearts.
The Gray Wolf and the Pitbull fought viciously once more, this time in front of the security guards, not in the bushes.
Primitive, wild, violent!
Cruel!
The security guards watched with their hearts pounding, those with weaker constitutions unable to bear the sight.
Chu Ge crawled to Xiao Panda's side, looking at his friend's figure that no longer resembled its former self, his heart aching immensely.
"Why did you save me?" he asked through gritted teeth.
Xiao Panda opened his eyes with difficulty, managing a strained smile, "You saved me first."
"Boss, don't be sad... I still have Survival Points, I won't turn into a beast... remember to take me flying later..."
In the end, he took his last breath, his vitality ceasing, sinking into endless darkness.
Eliminated!
Chu Ge fell silent, lying prostrate in front of Xiao Panda's body, speechless.
After a fierce battle, his combat strength was greatly reduced, so much so that he couldn't even defeat a domestic dog.
But he wasn't panicked; instead, anger surged in him.
Reason told him he had to stay calm.
He had not retained any Survival Points, and once he died, he would completely become an exhibit in the zoo.
The Survival Points earned from killing enemies in each Survival Competition would only be tallied after the mission ended, and the prerequisite to obtaining these points was to stay alive.
If one died in the Survival Competition, no matter how many enemies were killed, there would be no Survival Points awarded.
But no matter how he tried to persuade himself, the anger simply wouldn't subside.
At first, he thought with the Cheetah Speed he had exchanged for, he would outstrip everyone in this round of the Survival Competition, but reality gave him a rude awakening.
He looked back at the Pitbull that was fighting, a chilling glint flashing in his left eye.
"I should retreat and hide, but why won't my body obey me, I really want to pounce..."
Chu Ge clenched his teeth as he thought, then suddenly, he considered a possibility.
Instincts!
The instincts of a Male Lion!
The pride of the King of the Savanna!
A lion would retreat when overpowered, but to be frightened off by a single dog in a one-on-one fight was an insult to the status of a male lion.
Aside from domesticated lions, which lion would be so cowardly?
The Gray Wolf was entangled with the Pitbull, and the Vulture would swoop down from time to time.
The stray dogs were terrified by the brutal fight, with not a single one daring to rush forward.
The battle quickly reached a deadlock, with the Pitbull pinned down by the Gray Wolf; it fiercely bit into the wolf's neck, using the wolf's body to shield against the Vulture's claws.
The Gray Wolf was already exhausted, finding it hard to break free.
It was the same for the Pitbull, who could only maintain this position, unable to tear the Gray Wolf apart.
"Woof, woof, woof—"
The sound of Teddy's barking suddenly came from within the pack, calling non-stop toward the Pitbull.
Throat of Noise!
Everyone who heard her voice instinctively felt irritable.
"Get lost!"
A man shouted at Teddy, but she remained unmoved.
Although Teddy appeared calm, she was extremely anxious inside.
Seeing the tragic corpse of Xiao Panda, she suddenly felt a profound sadness, akin to when the hare dies, the fox grieves.
Even though she often argued with Xiao Panda, they were companions, after all.
She experienced the cruelty of the Survival Arena once again, this time the impact was even more profound.
"Woo-wooo-woo-woo..."
The sound of a police siren suddenly came from the distance, signaling uncontrollable forces were about to arrive.
If the police took them away, away from Qingmei Park, it would also count as a mission failure.
Chu Ge took a deep breath, looked at Teddy, and called, "Follow me!"
After saying that, he turned to leave, and Teddy quickly followed.
Before entering the woods, he glanced at the corpse of Xiao Panda, then vanished into the darkness of the forest.
The Pitbull suddenly released the Gray Wolf, kicked it away, and then made a strenuous effort to rise and quickly darted into another patch of woods, the other stray dogs fleeing with him.
The security personnel didn't dare to intervene. Even after the battlefield quieted down, they still felt as if they were in a dream.
Ten minutes later.
Chu Ge and Teddy hid again in the cottage on top of the slide, two meters above the ground, where humans searching the park would likely not think to look for them.
Lying down, Chu Ge finally relaxed, as endless fatigue washed over him, making his eyelids incredibly heavy.
Teddy also lay down to avoid being seen.
"What should we do now?" she asked softly, her voice trembling, obviously terrified.
Chu Ge's eyes gleamed as he said, "Vengeance."
Even if he couldn't kill the Pitbull, he had to find a way to get the Pitbull eliminated.
He decided that once his Physical Strength was restored, he would lure the Pitbull into the presence of humans, then escape using his Change Color Ability.
Once the Pitbull was removed from Qingmei Park, all of its wounds would have been endured in vain!
If the Pitbull had not left any Survival Points behind, then it was as good as dead!
