Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Upon hearing Chen Wen’s words, the Canadian lynx immediately looked at Hua Yun, its eyes full of pleading.

Its cries also softened significantly.

Seeing this scene, Hua Yun hesitated for a moment: ”It seems quite intelligent. If you can tame it, you can keep it.”

Chen Wen’s beast taming skills are strong, and Hua Yun still trusts Chen Wen.

Hearing Hua Yun’s words, Chen Wen slowly put down the axe.

”Then let it live!”

As soon as he said this, the Canadian lynx immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stopped struggling.

Chen Wen turned to Hua Yun and said, ”Let’s go back first. Tonight you can rest during the first half of the night, and I’ll take the opportunity to train it well.”

Hua Yun did not object.

Hua Yun carried the flashlight, while Chen Wen carried the Canadian lynx.

He didn’t want this creature to escape.

After the two returned to the shelter, Hua Yun rested.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen took the Canadian lynx outside to begin one-on-one training.

Regarding creatures that try to steal his food or even have aggressive tendencies.

Even if it can communicate, Chen Wen showed no mercy.

After gaining the ability to ”communicate,” Chen Wen set a principle for himself.

All special creatures that have killed people or eaten human flesh must die!

This isn’t just a simple grievance, but because ”communication” can gradually elevate a special creature’s intelligence to the level of an ordinary human.

Chen Wen is very concerned that these intelligent creatures might develop a taste for human flesh.

Which could cause even greater harm.

Chen Wen is very clear about his own species, and he doesn’t want anything that might threaten his kind to happen.

This Canadian lynx, although it hasn’t killed or eaten people, has displayed tendencies to attack humans.

Chen Wen was momentarily indecisive, eventually deciding to let the attacked Hua Yun make the decision.

Hua Yun said to keep it, so an attempt at taming will be made.

A while had passed since they arrived outside the camp.

Seeing that Chen Wen remained silent, the Canadian lynx became a little anxious.

With its considerable intelligence, it clearly understood that the one who wanted it to live was the person from the camp, not Chen Wen before it.

Thus, the Canadian lynx immediately pleaded: ”Human, I only stole a little of your food; I can repay you if you’ll spare me.”

Chen Wen, hearing this, placed the Canadian lynx in front of his face and tied a rope around its neck.

This act made the Canadian lynx feel somewhat reassured.

As long as no knives are involved, it means there’s room for negotiation.

It immediately declared its determination: ”Human, really, I can help you catch lots of food. Have you ever eaten rabbit? There’s plenty of rabbits near my burrow!”

”Really?”

Chen Wen closed the recording device and couldn’t help but say: ”If you could eat well back home, why come here to steal?”

”And judging by your state, you must have been hungry for a long time, right? Your body is as light as a house cat.”

This Canadian lynx is an adult female, generally weighing in the teens of kilograms without issue.

But when Chen Wen picked it up, he could clearly feel how light this Canadian lynx was.

From this, he concluded that the Canadian lynx probably hadn’t eaten for a long time.

Being seen through, the Canadian lynx didn’t panic much.

Instead, it continued: ”Human, your insight is sharp; I won’t deceive you. My home originally had many wild rabbits, but other humans killed them; they carried dark sticks and practically killed all the rabbits.”

”And because the rabbits were all dead, I left my home and came here.”

The truth of this claim was unclear to Chen Wen, but it was obvious that this Canadian lynx had encountered the local hunter.

Chen Wen thought for a moment and said: ”Let’s be clear, after discussing with my companion, we don’t plan to harm you.”

Upon hearing this, the Canadian lynx’s eyes lit up.

But before it had time to rejoice, Chen Wen added a ”but”: ”However, you need to temporarily have your movement range controlled.”

”This isn’t because you stole food, but because you attempted to harm my companion.”

”Once she forgives you, you can gain freedom like the golden eagle.”

The lynx nodded quickly.

At this moment, Chen Wen was a bit confused.

How could this little creature be so intelligent?

It had just met him, yet its intelligence was already on par with a bobcat.

As if recalling something, Chen Wen frowned and asked, ”When did you find yourself growing smarter?”

The Canadian lynx answered honestly: ”Just a few nights ago, when I followed a big grizzly bear to your camp.”

”I smelled your food and thought of stealing some to eat, but didn’t expect to be discovered by you.”

”After hearing your voice, I gradually became more intelligent.”

Just as I suspected!

Chen Wen clicked his tongue.

On the night the grizzly disrupted them, he shouted, ”What’s that?” not realizing it granted this Canadian lynx intelligence.

It seems enlightening special animals only requires speaking to them.

Chen Wen discovered yet another use of his system.

”Alright, regardless, since I agreed to let you join, let me tell you the rules.”

Chen Wen said: ”You’ll remain temporarily in the camp. I’ll provide food, but we need to agree on a few things: First, no attacking humans. Second, no attacking companions. Third, after the rope is untied, you need to join us and start hunting.”

This is a temporary agreement Chen Wen specifically drafted for the lynx’s ferocity.

The Canadian lynx nodded eagerly.

Just surviving is enough; it doesn’t ask for more.

Seeing the lynx behave obediently, Chen Wen didn’t make things difficult for it.

He led the Canadian lynx back to the camp.

Waiting for the outcome, Hua Yun saw the compliant lynx and smacked his lips.

”Your beast taming skill, it’s truly outrageously strong!”

Hua Yun asked: ”In such a short time, it’s already obedient?”

Chen Wen laughed: ”Not at all that simple, just a straightforward use of intimidation combined with food temptation, allowing it to feel our goodwill.”

During the conversation with the Canadian lynx, Chen Wen had been holding smoked meat strips.

That was to prepare for any questions from others.

Hearing this, Hua Yun praised, ”You are truly impressive.”

”Then I’ll rest for now, good night.”

”Good night.”

...

After Hua Yun went to sleep, Chen Wen called the Canadian lynx over to his side.

He fed the Canadian lynx uncooked bear meat strips.

Taming is inherently a mix of stick and carrot, with firm discipline and rewarding incentives.

Regarding food, the still-hungry Canadian lynx certainly did not resist the temptation.

As it continued eating, the Canadian lynx suspiciously glanced at Chen Wen.

Chen Wen nodded and said, ”Do you feel it?”

”Mm... indeed, I can feel you asking for something from me. No, not asking, well, here you go! Anyway, it doesn’t cost me anything.”

In the face of food, no animal can resist such temptation.

Soon enough, there was a reaction from Chen Wen’s side.
