Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 207: Chapter 30: Trapped in Crisis

The North American grizzly had arrived below the two of them.

At this moment, Chen Wen could clearly perceive its size.

The grizzly stood up on its hind legs, and at nearly three meters tall, it looked extremely large!

As it stood up, the distance between it and Chen Wen was reduced by at least a quarter.

Moreover, when the brown bear stood up, all the flesh on its body trembled.

This weight was certainly over five hundred pounds.

Chen Wen, while silently astonished, tightened his grip on the axe.

This old grizzly was very smart.

It immediately realized it needed to climb the spruce from the sides to tear apart these two bipedal creatures attacking it.

But before climbing the tree, it had to deal with the long-range weapon that had hurt it.

The grizzly maneuvered under the tree, roaring, trying to shake Chen Wen and the other’s resolve.

After all, facing a fierce beast that might tear you apart at any moment, no one could remain as calm as usual.

Hua Yun was no exception.

The veins on her forehead throbbed as she tried to aim, but the grizzly’s quick movements made it hard for her to keep up.

”I can hardly aim!”

Hua Yun spoke rapidly: ”We need to make it stop!”

Chen Wen looked at the moving grizzly and the two arrows stuck in front of it, ”No worries, let it jump for a while more, the bleeding from the arrows might just let it bleed out!”

Hearing this, Hua Yun nodded.

There was no choice now; shooting arrows couldn’t hurt the grizzly.

But the first two arrows had indeed hit it hard, and the wounds were quite deep.

It’s just unsure if the arrows had damaged its organs.

The two arrows were aimed at its lungs.

During this season, the grizzly’s body was thick with fat, mostly concentrated in the rear.

The lungs in the front half were the easiest organ to target, so she could only aim there.

But with time passing by.

The grizzly still appeared vigorous and even began tentatively climbing the tree.

This put a cloud over Hua Yun’s head.

”It seems the organs weren’t hit, or perhaps the injuries are light,” Hua Yun said somewhat dejectedly.

Chen Wen nodded, ”I noticed too, neither its nose nor mouth is bleeding, it seems to be just superficial wounds.”

”What should we do now?”

As the initiator of the hunting plan, Hua Yun had to consider how to end this.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun frowned deeply, ”Unless we let it start climbing, I can shoot a few more arrows, but even then, I can’t ensure killing it entirely. Its fat is too thick, something I hadn’t anticipated.”

These words also made Chen Wen frown.

”What about using bear spray to drive it away?” Chen Wen asked.

Hua Yun, upon hearing this, touched her waist, ”Firstly, it’s in a state of rage, and bear spray might not work; secondly, using bear spray when it’s enraged might provoke it further; lastly, I didn’t bring bear spray.”

”...next time, please mention the last point first,” Chen Wen sighed, ”Shall we wait for it to leave by itself?”

Hua Yun, while trying to aim at the grizzly’s vital spots, said, ”Does it look like it would walk away easily?”

The situation reached a brief stalemate for the two and the bear.

...

”They misjudged,”

The guide hired by the show looked at the screen and shook his head, ”This grizzly is just too big, it’s at the limit for grizzly size.”

”Even experienced hunters wouldn’t provoke such a grizzly, because not only are they powerful, but they’re also very vengeful. If not killed, it would trigger their frenzied revenge.”

”Unless they have firearms, otherwise they might need a rescue this time.”

The guide’s words made Lin Jiawei and Luo Yao’s hearts sink instantly.

”It’s unwise to provoke the big ones when the strength isn’t sufficient!”

An assistant of one of the contestants said leisurely.

He had no malice, but the words weren’t pleasant.

”There’s another way,”

Ludwig’s assistant said, ”Among the weapons they carry, the axe could harm the grizzly. If this male contestant is willing to risk it all, he could jump off the tree and confront the grizzly, then use the axe to hack into the grizzly’s head.”

These words made quite a few people laugh.

”Haha, to achieve that, he’d basically be a superhero!”

Hank’s assistant laughed heartily.

Yang Feng’s assistant, with a forced smile, comforted, ”No worries, what if it leaves on its own?”

Upon hearing this, the guide frowned and said, ”I told you, this grizzly is very vengeful, it won’t let these two contestants go. They need rescue, because if it can’t climb the tree, it would try to twist the spruce.”

”And coincidentally, the two spruces supporting the contestants aren’t thick. This grizzly might very well twist the spruce, killing the two!”

With these words, the scene fell silent.

No one seemed to have thought this grizzly had such strength!

And Lin Jiawei and Luo Yao’s hearts were completely sunk.

...

”Did you notice?”

Chen Wen began to notice the grizzly’s strange behavior, ”The damned thing is gnawing at the tree!”

Hua Yun gritted her teeth, ”I noticed! It wants to fell the tree to make us fall!”

”I’ll try to stop it!”

With that, Hua Yun seized the opportunity as the grizzly gnawed on the tree, and shot an arrow!

Swoosh!

The arrow hit the part of the grizzly with more fat accumulation at the rear.

The grizzly, feeling pain, trembled slightly.

But it didn’t inflict a crucial wound.

”This grizzly, being able to take the river valley, must have fought quite a few battles.”

Chen Wen told Hua Yun to stop.

”What do you mean?”

Hua Yun was confused.

Chen Wen said, ”Fighting a lot means also getting injured a lot, but it’s still alive, which means it keeps winning, when wounded, its tolerance of pain becomes very strong. If we can’t shoot its eyes or vital spots, we can’t drive it away at all!”

Hearing this, Hua Yun grew even more anxious.

”So what do we do?”

At that moment, a bold idea formed in Chen Wen’s mind.

”If the bow cannot penetrate, what about the axe and the machete?”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun was startled, ”You want to engage in close combat? Don’t ever! This grizzly is just too big! Close combat is extremely, extremely dangerous!”

”I’d rather dial for rescue now than let you take such a risk! A spot is not worth such a risk! And you’ve already secured a spot!”

Chen Wen, listening to these words, felt somewhat appreciated.

”Don’t worry, I’m confident, and I’m not going to jump directly and fight head-on.”

Hearing this, Hua Yun’s tension eased a little.

But she still disagreed with close combat.

”I feel that if we just keep this up, and if needed, jump between branches to other trees, after all, the forest here is dense, many spruce branches intersect.” ,

Hua Yun proposed a new idea.

”No, even if we can keep jumping away and even tire the grizzly, as long as it’s not dead, it will certainly come back for us!”

”Grizzlies are extremely vengeful! We hurt it, and even if we’re tens of kilometers away, or even hundreds, it might track us by scent!”

Before Hua Yun could speak,

Chen Wen continued, ”My plan is relatively simple, but you also need to take some risk. You need to act as bait, slide down a bit from the tree over there, to attract the grizzly’s attention.”

”I’ll take off my clothes, and while it’s distracted, try to cover the grizzly’s eyes with them, blocking its vision.”

”If I can cover its eyes, I’ll jump down immediately, and use the axe to hack its neck and head. If you have a chance, shoot an arrow to its chest; if not, just grab a knife. At this moment, being hacked by two axes, it’ll surely be weakened. We’ll rush it together and finish it!”

Hua Yun, listening to this plan, contemplated for a long time.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, ”Alright, we’ll go with your plan!”
