Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 209: Chapter 32: The Recurve Bow Has Its Limits

Decapitate the grizzly bear.

Chen Wen was completely relieved.

After all, there are hardly any mammals in this world that can survive decapitation.

He placed the axe on the ground, stepped back a few steps, and slowly sat down.

This time it was risky, but worth it.

It’s just that my eyes couldn’t take it.

As Chen Wen gently massaged his eyes, trying to regain his vision.

Hua Yun slowly adjusted to the bloody scene.

She walked over slowly, confirmed the grizzly was dead, then collapsed to the ground.

For her, this was truly a return from the brink of death!

”The recurve bow has its limits.”

Hua Yun sighed, looking somewhat disheartened at the recurve bow in her hands.

She initially thought she could kill the bear with this bow.

But never expected it to end like this.

”So, are you planning not to use the bow anymore?”

Chen Wen joked, smiling as he comforted, ”This was a very, very special situation, before we encountered this bear either at night or from a distance, never truly understanding its weight and state, so a misjudgment is normal.”

”If it were a regular grizzly bear, the damage from your two shots would definitely be enough, it’s just that this was an exceptionally large bear, don’t doubt yourself.”

Hua Yun forced a smile upon hearing this.

She could tell Chen Wen was trying to comfort her.

”Anyway, I’ll practice some close combat techniques later, I neglected this point before, it was my mistake.”

Hua Yun sighed, then seriously said, ”Your close combat skills are powerful, I want to learn from you, of course, in exchange, if you want to learn archery, I’ll teach you everything I know, after all, in the wilderness solo living, the bow is the only ranged weapon.”

Chen Wen scratched his head, unsure how to respond to Hua Yun’s proposal.

”My close combat skills... honestly, I don’t have any skills.”

Chen Wen candidly replied, ”It’s purely fast reflexes and speed, if you learn from me, it might hold you back.”

What he said was absolutely true.

Chen Wen managed to kill the grizzly purely relying on courage, and the traits of [Swift], [Dynamic Vision], and [Lumberjack].

No skills, all attributes.

Hua Yun reminisced about Chen Wen’s actions, eventually nodded, ”Indeed, your speed and reflexes are really fast, a naturally gifted player.”

However, Hua Yun still said, ”After I return, I’ll find a qualified coach to train with, but if you’re interested in archery, I can teach you while we have this opportunity.”

As for archery...

Chen Wen contemplated, eventually shaking his head slightly, ”Let’s forget about archery, I’m planning to learn the javelin later.”

As a man, Chen Wen prefers the greater impact and visual appeal of the javelin.

Archery falls a bit short.

Plus, the javelin serves as both a ranged and close-combat tool, making it quite useful.

This left Hua Yun in an awkward spot.

The archery skills she was proud of, for the first time, were not appreciated.

What a letdown!

”Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Noticing Hua Yun’s awkwardness, Chen Wen immediately said, ”This time, the grizzly bear bled a lot, and as the overlord of this valley, more predators will come once it’s dead, we need to be prepared.”

Additionally, Chen Wen squinted his eyes, glancing at the food storage rack at a higher spot.

”The food storage rack should be left as it is for now, the bear didn’t gnaw deep, the tree can still be used.”

”Let’s seize the moment now, and process the bear.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun nodded, ”You take a rest, I’ll handle it.”

Chen Wen agreed.

Considering his current state, resting with his eyes closed was better.

Meanwhile, the golden eagle in the sky noticed the dust had settled.

It quickly swooped down.

The golden eagle couldn’t help much during this battle, only responsible for early scouting.

”You’re really amazing, taking down such a big beast!”

The golden eagle chirped away next to Chen Wen’s head, ”Can I taste what this beast is like?”

”Go ahead.”

Chen Wen waved his hand, letting the golden eagle eat.

This guy can eat over a pound of meat in one sitting, and one meal lasts two days.

Even if Chen Wen had to feed it for three months, it would be quite easy.

Receiving permission, the golden eagle flapped its wings and landed next to the grizzly bear’s head.

It extended its sharp beak and began pecking at the meat on the bear’s neck.

”Delicious!”

The golden eagle exclaimed joyfully, devouring eagerly.

...

With Chen Wen’s situation stabilized.

The show crew was in an uproar.

”Oh my God! Chen Wen, Chen Wen, why have I never heard of this person? He’s simply a top-notch survivor!”

It was Jenny’s assistant speaking.

Jenny, though female, is a survival vlogger and a local from the Yukon Territory.

No matter what, she is part of the survival community.

Because of this, Jenny’s assistant is quite familiar with well-known figures in the survival community.

But Chen Wen’s name, he truly heard for the first time.

”I seem to have heard of it.”

Spoke an assistant from a supporting cast player: ”Our company’s other outdoor survival host participated in the Desert Death Battle not long ago, and Chen Wen was the champion.”

Desert Death Battle champion?

This show isn’t well-known in Hua Country, but here in North America, it’s very popular!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been filmed for six seasons with a seventh season in the works.

Many present had some familiarity with wilderness survival, not strangers to this program.

”No wonder Chen Wen is so powerful, I heard Adam participated in this season’s Desert Death Battle, deserving of defeating Adam!”

”Adam, now he is truly a top-tier survivor, didn’t expect he’d lose to Chen Wen, what a surprise.”

”I heard this season of Desert Death Battle is about to air, I definitely have to see for myself how Chen Wen won!”

...

While everyone was discussing.

The show crew had already informed director Abel about what had just happened.

When Abel heard that one of his contestants actually hunted a grizzly bear, he was dumbfounded.

No way?

Is there someone among the invited who can hunt grizzlies?

Kidding me?

His first reaction was disbelief, but when the video was sent over, Abel was genuinely shocked.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun are one of the pairs he favored.

After all, one is the Desert Death Battle champion, the other has participated in top-level survival shows.

But this was truly outrageous!

Abel didn’t hesitate, rushing to the recording site.

Honestly speaking.

This time with the program, Abel had already caught wind of it.

He could sense the show’s peculiar atmosphere.

Abel planned to act as if nothing happened, considering the major investors might be involved.

As long as he quietly finishes filming, gets paid, it’s fine.

Whether the program airs, he’s uncertain.

But now it’s different, with Chen Wen’s group appearing, he saw the hope of gaining fame!

Abel had a vague feeling that Chen Wen’s team would create more highlights!

This group needs to be closely monitored!

Considering in this run of survivors.

Aside from one group that got eliminated, of the remaining four groups, two have ulterior motives, one is just being a supporting player.

After the show started, none really stood out.

Didn’t even seem like they came to survive.

But Chen Wen’s group completely demonstrated the allure of survival.

Whether it’s dealing with glacier collapse or stable survival along the way, and now hunting a grizzly.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun displayed undeniably top-level skills.

The show’s highlights are almost entirely centered on them.

Abel deeply inhaled, intending to personally keep an eye on Chen Wen’s situation.
