Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 50: Chapter 2: Undercurrents Surging

Bai Yachuan, who had been lying down, sat up and said, ”I actually hope it’s that young guy’s team. After all, he’s fierce enough to take on a shark barehanded. It’d be interesting to talk to him.”

”As the saying goes: ’The pen is mightier than the sword, but among warriors there is no second place.’

Lv Guocheng, the fishing enthusiast, also laughed, ”Mr. Bai, are you thinking of matching skills with that young guy?”

”I kinda am.”

Bai Yachuan didn’t deny it, ”Aren’t you curious, Guocheng, about how he took down a bull shark?”

”Curious!”

Lv Guocheng nodded, with a touch of emotion, ”Years ago, when I went overseas fishing with friends, we really did encounter bull sharks.”

”Those things are vicious! Our guide, who took us diving in a cage to observe sharks up close, had the water erupt in chaos when a bull shark came. Not only did it eat the bait, but attacked other sharks and even rammed our cage. Scary stuff!”

”I remember a movie, called Jaws, where its inspiration was said to come from a bull shark attack in New Jersey, USA.”

Listening to Lv Guocheng, everyone was curious, tinged with a bit of fear.

”With something that fierce, how did Chen Wen kill it?”

The young Zhuo Hongnian asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

They didn’t know how Chen Wen did it.

Amidst the silence, Yan Bian stood up, smiling brightly.

”This question, Zhuo, wait until Chen Wen arrives on the island to ask him yourself!”

Hearing Yan Bian’s words, everyone was momentarily stunned.

They followed his gaze and saw that familiar speedboat skimming over the waves in the distance.

Standing at the bow was a man standing solid as a rock!

”Oh my gosh! It’s really him!”

Zhang Hu, who had seen Chen Wen before, widened his eyes, his forehead hurt from the bump.

”Oh my God! Wasn’t this guy seriously injured? How does he look totally fine?”

Wang Zhi was shocked.

Bai Yachuan rubbed his hands together and said, ”It’s not like he’s completely uninjured. Look at his left arm, it’s still bandaged!”

”He’s really here!”

Lu Heng looked at Chen Wen, feeling a thrill of excitement.

The young are competitive; having such thoughts is no surprise.

Lv Guocheng, more mature, squinted and gave a curious and admiring look at Chen Wen, standing at the bow of the boat.

This survival test made Lv Guocheng feel the ruthlessness of time.

He greatly admired Chen Wen’s strong and youthful physique and was also very curious about how he survived on the island.

Everyone stood on the beach, watching this man, who had once struggled to survive with them on the island, approach.

...

The speedboat arrived near the beach.

Chen Wen waved to the speedboat driver and skillfully jumped ashore from the edge of the boat.

He held up his left hand to keep it from touching the seawater and quickly walked toward the beach.

Seeing Chen Wen’s face, the already lively livestream exploded instantly.

[Wow, dream collab come true!]

[This is the modern Robinson! The men’s group really is about to take off!]

[They pulled this guy here even while injured, the show’s team is intense]

[Who doesn’t want more money? I feel like this guy coming over is worth at least tens of thousands]

[This guy’s mentality is truly strong, daring to return here]

[For sure, most people who encounter something like that probably wouldn’t dare return to an island for life]

[But who knows what kind of character this guy has; can he blend into the men’s group? Don’t forget he’s fought Zhang Hu and even made Ding Decai quit]

[Men are all brothers; that’s small stuff, as you said]

[Heard of Yasuo and Yong’en? Their brother stabbed him to death, and the big brother didn’t hold a grudge]

[But as for Zu’an’s sisters, I won’t comment]

[Those who fight, take my punch first!]

[Anyway, the men’s group should get lively; the women’s group is too dull, and the men’s group hasn’t done anything lately. I’m getting bored!]

...

As for Chen Wen.

As soon as he stepped onto the island, his mind was stirred.

[Detected inheritor entering the wilderness, starting wilderness cultivation]

[This time’s wilderness cultivation location: Tropical Island]

[Please choose a basic entry for this cultivation, or opt out directly]

[Current Inheritance Points: 58]

The familiar system interface, but with some new elements.

Choose a basic entry?

Chen Wen thought for a moment and decided not to choose for now, waiting to meet everyone before making a decision.

After all, following Xiao Yong’s advice, the first thing to do upon hitting the island wasn’t anything else.

It was to integrate into the group.

Opening his eyes, Yan Bian was already approaching with a group of people.

Chen Wen quickened his pace, smiling as he greeted Yan Bian, ”Hey Yan Bian, good afternoon.”

”Good afternoon, brother Chen Wen!”

Yan Bian stepped forward excitedly, tightly shaking Chen Wen’s right hand.

After a simple introduction.

Yan Bian clapped his hands to draw everyone’s attention, ”Back to camp! We’ll have a welcome party for brother Chen Wen tonight!”

”Alright!”

...

The men’s camp was located in the jungle on the southwestern part of the island.

Walking across the pristine beach, entering the jungle, and then parting the lush bushes.

A piece of open land appeared before everyone.

”This is the outer camp, the sleeping place is in the cave over there, which is the inner camp, not far, just a few minutes’ walk away.”

Wang Zhi took charge of explaining the camp to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen looked around the camp.

There was a bonfire and ample firewood.

The area around the bonfire was lined with flat stones, probably used as seats.

But what surprised Chen Wen was the lack of food.

All he could see were some seafood and the leftover black panther meat and shark meat he had left behind.

And there wasn’t much left of any.

It seemed the men’s group wasn’t living as well as he had imagined.

Chen Wen thought to himself.

Besides this, the men’s group all had noticeable dark circles under their eyes.

Several people seemed to be experiencing occasional mental lapses.

Perhaps they hadn’t been resting well?

Additionally, Chen Wen also noticed a faint indication of subgroups within the men’s group.

Lu Heng, Wang Zhi, Zhang Hu, and Zhuo Hongnian.

These slightly younger people gathered together, with Lu Heng and Wang Zhi appearing to be the leaders of this small group.

Bai Yachuan and Lv Guocheng were talking continuously, indicating a good relationship.

The usually quiet Gan Tieshan seemed to partner with Du Feng, as they exchanged words occasionally.

Meanwhile, Du Feng showed clear dissatisfaction with the first two subgroups.

As for Yan Bian, he didn’t join any particular group, maintaining good relations with everyone.

Except for Du Feng.

It looked like integrating into this group wouldn’t be a straightforward task!

Chen Wen couldn’t help but think.

Although brothers usually acted carefree, rarely forming cliques,

once they did form, it would be more intense than you might think.

While females forming cliques might be like microcosms or an intrigue drama,

if men started to play the game, it was like a grand historical drama!

However, the more challenging, the more interesting.

Chen Wen smiled slightly, half-shut his eyes, and started to pay attention to the system again.
