Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 170: Chapter 56: The Crested Eagle’s Great Contribution

Chen Wen’s words shocked Roland a little.

”How did you... is it thanks to the Crested Hawk-Eagle?”

Roland suddenly realized.

He finally understood why he was discovered by Chen Wen, but he hadn’t noticed Chen Wen at all.

This Crested Hawk-Eagle has such a great rapport with Chen Wen!

”What should we do?”

Roland asked.

Chen Wen thought for a moment and said, ”The enemy is in the open, we are in the dark, we’re not afraid of them.”

”I’ll release the Crested Hawk-Eagle, and it will circle in the sky above them.”

”We’ll hide the bighorn sheep, circle around the plains to their rear, see who they are, and then decide!”

Roland felt that Chen Wen’s arrangement was very meticulous.

He nodded and said, ”Okay, I’ll follow your lead!”

...

With the Crested Hawk-Eagle acting as their eyes, Chen Wen and Roland easily determined the enemy’s route.

Upon seeing that their target was the ridge, Chen Wen had already picked out a mesquite grove in advance.

He and Roland placed their supplies and the bighorn sheep carcass there.

Then the two of them moved forward lightly, approaching the vicinity of this group of people.

Very soon.

Chen Wen spotted the lone Gina, along with Gaston and Adam who were nearby.

At this moment, Gina was a completely different person compared to when survival started.

Chen Wen almost didn’t recognize her.

This lady was so thin she was beyond recognition.

Chen Wen muttered: Seems like she’s not doing well.

Avoiding Gina’s path.

The two moved near the foot of the mountain.

There happened to be a pit here, allowing them to hide.

And between their camp and Gina’s group was the Giant Cactus Forest, obstructing their view.

But the sound from the other side could easily be heard.

Chen Wen and Roland just listened silently.

They caught every word of what Adam was saying.

The timeline converges here.

”Let’s go first, find a place to discuss the strategy.”

After hearing that the other party was looking for food.

Chen Wen whispered, and he and Roland left the place.

...

The two returned to the mesquite grove.

By now night was falling, and they had to decide whether to strike at night or conserve their strength.

They needed to reach a consensus.

Chen Wen and Roland exchanged looks, knowing the next decision would determine the outcome of their survival.

”What do we do?”

Roland asked Chen Wen.

Chen Wen soothed the Crested Hawk-Eagle, the real hero of the day!

He thought for a moment and said, ”Adam had a nasal voice, he might have a cold.”

”How come I didn’t hear it?”

Roland asked, slightly frustrated.

Chen Wen didn’t answer.

He could hear thanks to the [Tracking] provided by the Short-tailed Cat.

In the system’s judgment, anything he was about to attack, including people, counted as prey!

This was indeed different from the previous [Animal Doctor] judgment.

But none of that mattered, and Chen Wen continued, ”Gina is very weak, but Gaston seems to be in a good state.”

”If we launch a night attack, I can quickly disable Gina, and then we both take on Gaston and Adam, how does that sound to you?”

Hearing this, Roland shook his head slightly.

”I can’t take either of them on my own.”

Roland explained, ”I’m still only slightly recovered, I can hold out for a short time, but a prolonged battle is out of the question.”

This made Chen Wen frown.

In the afternoon, he might have overutilized [Dynamic Vision] and [Swift].

There were still some aftereffects now.

Plus, he was injured, not in peak condition.

Taking on two, especially the strong Gaston and the unfathomable Adam.

Chen Wen wasn’t confident.

Roland seemed to understand something and asked, ”How about we play the long game?”

”Okay, let’s wait a bit and see.”

Chen Wen quickly said, ”Anyway, with the Crested Hawk-Eagle, we’ll spot them first no matter what happens.”

...

The attack did not happen.

Because both sides encountered unexpected situations.

And both Chen Wen and Adam were cautious people, neither side wanted to take the risk.

”That’s a good thing.”

Lin Jiawei and Roland’s wife stood together, analyzing the situation.

”Indeed, I can sense Roland is still in a weakened state, while Gaston is clearly at his peak.”

Roland’s wife said, ”And Adam’s group is very cautious, they take turns keeping watch at night.”

Lin Jiawei nodded, ”No matter what, upcoming events hinge on Chen Wen’s performance.”

”Indeed.”

...

Chen Wen and Roland returned to the shelter by nightfall.

After groping their way back, they didn’t light a fire right away.

After all, they had heard Adam’s words.

The other side wanted to locate their shelter with the campfire.

But not having a fire all the time wasn’t a solution either.

Roland asked, ”Chen Wen, do you have a plan?”

”We can’t keep from lighting a fire all the time, can we? Moreover, they plan to explore the surroundings tomorrow, they’ll find us soon.”

Suddenly, the silent Chen Wen spoke, ”I think, we should let them discover us!”

”Hmm?”

Roland was puzzled.

But Chen Wen’s eyes sparkled in the moonlight: ”First of all, among the three of them, only Gaston is in good condition, Adam and Gina are weakened by the cold.”

”Yet in this condition, they still crossed the Giant Pillar Great Plains, which shows they’re very eager, and don’t want to delay with the illness.”

”We can exploit their eagerness and set a trap!”

”Secondly, as you saw when you arrived, my shelter was already set with many traps made from Teddy Bear Cacti. We can make full use of these Teddy Bear Cacti; if they prick someone, it’s quite painful and will definitely affect their combatability.”

”Lastly, we know about them, but they don’t know that we know about them!”

”The two of us have no need to worry about our traps being discovered, on the contrary, we can use this chance to ambush, wait until the traps reduce their combat strength, then pounce, and eliminate them!”

Roland clicked his tongue.

He didn’t quite understand, but he grasped the general idea.

”So, light a fire to lure them in?”

”Light it! Just one fire, I’ll think about how to set the traps.”

...

Under the same night sky.

Adam’s gaze penetrated the clear air, landing on a section of the ridge.

”We indeed took the wrong direction.”

Adam looked at the flickers of firelight on the ridge and sighed in relief.

He had been looking for quite a while.

Adam watched a bit longer and confirmed, ”They are on the southern ridge.”

Hearing this, Gaston nodded slightly, ”Indeed.”

Gina complained a bit, ”How did we go the wrong way? Damn it!”

If they hadn’t gone the wrong way, they could have ended this damn survival today!

Gaston was somewhat helpless, ”There are many ridges here, and they’re very similar, I can’t remember them clearly.”

”Hmph, but either way, this survival will end!”

Gina said venomously, ”Is this the Asian kid’s camp? Leave him to me!”

Upon hearing this, Adam calmly said, ”I’ll go with you, but if Roland is there, Gaston and I will deal with Chen Wen, you hold Roland off.”

”Why!”

Gina was not satisfied, ”I want to take down that kid myself!”

Adam didn’t bother to argue with Gina, ”It’s just a discussion; we have to see the situation before deciding anything.”

”I feel like this must be Chen Wen’s camp, Roland and he probably didn’t meet, but we must always be cautious.”

Seeing Gina trying to say more, Adam reminded her, ”If you don’t care about the quota, then do as you please.”

These words managed to keep Gina quiet.

She joined this show to get back to living alone in the wilderness and prove herself.

”Then rest, try to regain your energy.”

Adam said, ”Tomorrow morning, let’s go and eliminate Chen Wen!”
