Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 109: Chapter 20: Luring

In the footage, the men’s group raised their arms and shouted together.

Like primitive men charging into the modern world, incredibly impactful!

[Thrilling! Thrilling!]

[This is what survival is about! Hunting a ton-heavy saltwater crocodile!]

[The men’s group is fierce! Chen Wen is even fiercer! Damn, I was wondering why Chen Wen was so quiet those two days, turns out he was saving it for a big one!]

[This is venting, isn’t it? You animal protection organizations aren’t protecting animals? Screw it, let’s take down the saltwater crocodile!]

[This is how you do it! So cool!]

...

With the entire men’s group moving out,

many netizens got excited as well.

Over at the production team,

Director Xie Yu arrived at the scene and sat down with Xiao Yong.

”Great! Great!”

Xie Yu laughed heartily, ”After the warm-up, the already high buzz has now nearly doubled!”

”Last night, an investor was asking if this move is worth it, now I just want to slap the data in their face! Hahaha!”

Compared to Xie Yu, Xiao Yong was sweating profusely.

He was coordinating the rescue team and medical staff, while also managing technical issues.

He also had to keep an eye on the situation with the men’s group.

He was so busy he didn’t have time to wipe his sweat, which gathered on his face like small rivers streaming down.

Xie Yu saw Xiao Yong’s situation and didn’t mind whether he responded or not.

Thanks to Xiao Yong and Chen Wen, Xie Yu made a huge profit this time.

He looked at the men’s small team on the screen, pinching his nose a bit, and started having some thoughts.

After this survival show ends, how about securing Chen Wen with us in the long-term?

This person definitely has potential, as long as we can sign him to a long contract, he’ll be a money tree!

Something to consider.

Xie Yu thought to himself silently.

...

Meanwhile, the men’s group had been walking quickly through the woods near the beach for almost forty minutes.

They reached the southeastern coast of the island.

At this time, everyone was sitting together, making the final preparations.

”Everyone, listen! Once you are hidden, if you spot more than one crocodile coming over, evacuate immediately!”

Chen Wen repeated the plan that had already been set, ”Saltwater crocodiles are somewhat territorial animals. During the breeding season, one male crocodile may have many females around. We’re dealing with such a group now, be careful! If there’s more than one crocodile, just run!”

”Run back along the edge of the beach! Don’t go into the woods, the woods here are mostly Red Mangrove Swamp, it’s even more dangerous inside! Understand?”

Hearing Chen Wen’s words, everyone felt a bit impatient.

Mainly because Chen Wen had been talking the whole way, and yet no crocodile had been spotted, how could he discourage his brothers’ morale like that?

”Got it, don’t worry Chen Wen, we’re not clueless kids!”

Lu Heng chuckled, ”Just stick to the plan and let’s show them who the real kings of the wild are!”

”Our men’s group will definitely win the championship!”

Wang Zhi said with a fist pump.

Chen Wen nodded, looking at Gan Tieshan, ”Shan, you take them to ambush, leave if you have to!”

Gan Tieshan nodded, giving Chen Wen a thumbs-up.

”Mr. Lv, set the ambush. Du Feng, prepare the bait!”

”Yan, Mr. Bai, you move first, Hu, follow me!”

Without further words, Chen Wen waved his hand, and the men’s group moved into action instantly.

...

On the southeastern side of the island.

Compared with the barren western shore and the rock-covered southwest coast,

this place seemed more like a human’s ideal tropical island.

The lush Red Mangrove Swamp meeting the ocean enriched the seawater, making marine life flourish.

And beside the mangroves lived a group of saltwater crocodiles.

One male and seven females.

They occupied this section of the mangrove area and the reef beach near the mangroves.

Rocks and sand coexist here.

At the moment, the saltwater crocodiles were lying across the rocks haphazardly, with some sunbathing on the sand.

Being cold-blooded animals, their blood isn’t naturally warm.

Each morning, these big creatures rely on sunlight to warm up their blood for faster circulation.

Only then do they start a new day of hunting.

On the southeastern part of the island is also a large reef area.

This reef area is the hunting ground for this crocodile group.

At the moment, the only male saltwater crocodile in the group is lying on the largest rock, silently watching its territory.

What’s good to eat today?

Perhaps the crocodile was pondering what to eat or do today.

But unbeknownst to it, four determined glances were heading its way.

”Damn, it’s huge!”

This was Bai Yachuan’s first time seeing a saltwater crocodile, and he was awestruck.

”Five meters? I thought it was about ten meters long! Is it really five meters exactly?”

This was Zhang Hu, complaining about not having a sense of scale.

Yan Bian rolled his eyes, exasperated, ”How would I know? I’m just estimating! Even if you gave me a ruler, I wouldn’t dare measure it! It’s about five meters, give or take a little!”

Chen Wen nodded, ”That’s right, it’s roughly five meters long, but the weight definitely exceeds a ton!”

Previously, he had been to this spot several times, but always observed from afar.

This was his first time observing his prey up close.

”I’d estimate this guy weighs about a ton and a half; it’s so fat! Has an excellent feeding source!”

Chen Wen remarked.

Bai Yachuan glanced at the reefs outside the island, clicking his tongue in appreciation, ”Indeed, not only is this reef area larger, but it’s also connected to the sea inlet, resource-rich!”

”No wonder these saltwater crocs choose to live here rather than the coral reefs in the northwest, which aren’t nearly as good! This creature is so damn smart, taking the best spot!”

Chen Wen snickered, ”Heh, maybe we should be thankful that the saltwater crocs only live here; otherwise, as soon as we landed, it’d be a massacre.”

No truer words were spoken.

The abundant resources allow these saltwater crocs to live securely in the mangrove zone.

It enabled the men’s group to survive and explore the island.

Otherwise, if these crocs were scattered around the island, it wouldn’t be fun at all!

After a brief exchange, Chen Wen licked his lips, ”According to plan, Yan, Mr. Bai, you provoke it with stones while we stay hidden.”

”You lure it along the shore to the bait spot, we’ll have your backs!”

Yan nodded, ”Alright! Let’s go, Bai!”

With that, the two of them came out from the bushes and walked toward the male saltwater crocodile, armed with the prepared stones.

Back to Chen Wen’s side,

he and Zhang Hu each held a long spear,

gripping them tightly and watching every move outside.

...

As soon as Yan and Bai emerged, the crocodile group reacted.

Several saltwater crocodiles either heard the sound or smelled the scent, but

they immediately turned their heads, staring intently in this direction.

The male saltwater crocodile even made a roar similar to a dinosaur sound in movies, somewhat resembling a human burp.

It might seem a bit funny watching behind a screen.

But facing the saltwater crocs, Yan and Bai Yachuan swallowed hard.

This thing... can humans really challenge it?

Confronted with the enormous saltwater crocs, they couldn’t help but feel panic.

But Chen Wen’s voice promptly came from behind them, ”Don’t panic! They’re not as agile on land as they are in water!”

”Just keep roughly twenty meters’ safe distance, there’s no problem at all!”

Upon hearing this, Yan shouted to boost his courage,

and Bai Yachuan also pounded his chest before moving forward.
