Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The Wolf Mink attack was easily resolved by Chen Wen and Hua Yun.

This group of greedy Wolf Minks not only failed to steal the food from Chen Wen and Hua Yun but also lost their lives here.

Allowing Chen Wen and Hua Yun to enrich their food inventory.

Moreover, Chen Wen now had the opportunity to gain a new skill entry.

The Wolf Mink’s skill entry should produce something good.

Chen Wen thought to himself.

While Hua Yun was resting, he processed the remaining Wolf Mink and chopped off a leg to roast it over the fire.

He intended to treat himself to a meal while seeking a new skill entry.

Soon, accompanied by the aroma of meat.

Chen Wen’s midnight snack time began.

He wasn’t overly concerned about weight issues, after all, he was into wilderness survival.

Surviving for once definitely makes one lose quite a bit of weight!

The taste of Wolf Mink meat is very average, you could even say it’s bad.

Because the meat has a strong fishy and unique stench.

Maybe it’s related to their habits.

Without seasoning, Chen Wen felt that any ordinary person would need some courage to chew and swallow Wolf Mink meat.

Fortunately, Chen Wen was not ordinary, nor was he lacking courage.

He chewed through and swallowed the Wolf Mink meat with ease.

You could only say it’s edible, non-toxic, and it’s meat.

This was Chen Wen’s evaluation of Wolf Mink meat.

After finishing one leg of the Wolf Mink, Chen Wen began choosing a skill entry.

[Looting the natural creation—Wolf Mink!]

[Looting ... complete!]

[Please choose one of the following three skill entries]

[Greedy (Purple): When you are attracted to food, there is a high probability of acting irrationally due to greed]

[Note: As long as it’s edible, you have to try a couple of bites, regardless if it’s poisonous or not — Wolf Mink]

[Tracking (Purple): You are better at tracking prey, making it easier to notice clues left by prey while tracking]

[Note: Tracking prey is a skill every Wolf Mink must have; after all, just relying on ambush and snatching is not enough to fill the stomach — Wolf Mink]

[Ravenous Appetite (Gold): Your appetite is extremely strong, and your desire for food increases. When your appetite is satisfied, your all-around survival ability is greatly enhanced; when you feel slightly hungry, your survival ability moderately improves; when you are hungry, all your attention will focus on acquiring food, slightly enhancing your survival ability, with a significant boost to your ability to acquire food]

[Note: In life, as long as you eat well, anywhere can be home! — Wolf Mink]

[Please choose within one minute or forfeit! After the deadline, the first skill entry will be automatically selected!]

This time Chen Wen was caught in hesitation.

[Tracking] is undoubtedly a term that would improve Chen Wen’s weakness.

Currently, in terms of hunting, without animals or being by the sea, Chen Wen can only be considered average.

Because he only excels at using traps to obtain prey.

Thus, [Tracking] should be the optimal choice.

But [Ravenous Appetite] is just too comprehensive!

Despite having an extremely serious side effect for survival.

One must know, most survivalists’ passive skills revolve around enduring hunger.

If you can’t endure hunger, then don’t come to survive.

Not eating for a day is normal; not eating for two days is against the wind; starving for three days is Ed.

In short, to survive, one must learn to endure hunger.

But [Ravenous Appetite] does not allow you to endure hunger.

You want to starve while working?

Nonsense!

Go find me something to eat!

That is the side effect of [Ravenous Appetite].

Very troublesome.

After all, many times it’s not that survivalists don’t want to find food, but they must endure hunger and get other tasks done first.

As the one-minute countdown was about to end.

Chen Wen gritted his teeth: It’s you then! [Ravenous Appetite]!

Though the side effect of this skill entry is cumbersome, its benefits are just too comprehensive!

And maybe, a large increase in food acquisition ability when hungry is related to obtaining food?

In short, it’s a gamble!

At worst, just use this skill entry only in areas with abundant food!

After making his choice, Chen Wen immediately felt the enhancement brought by [Ravenous Appetite].

Frightening!

Strength, speed, power, vision, smell, hearing ...

As long as it relates to survival, everything improved!

This is indeed comprehensive!

Chen Wen couldn’t help but reflect.

However, this is because he is currently in a state of satiety. He has not tested it out in slightly hungry or hungry conditions yet, and Chen Wen plans to try staying hungry for a while.

Come early the next morning.

Chen Wen felt the augmentation he gained beginning to fade, dropping by about thirty to forty percent.

This should be entering a slightly hungry state?

Chen Wen pondered quietly.

During this time, Chen Wen woke up Hua Yun and had her eat.

Today they needed to continue moving forward.

Chen Wen deliberately did not eat breakfast, citing a poor appetite, and let Hua Yun eat alone.

After breakfast, the two continued on their journey.

By around ten in the morning, Chen Wen felt the amplification fade once again.

Compared to the initial augmentation, only about twenty-five percent remained.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen’s mind started constantly thinking about food and what to eat later.

This didn’t affect his thinking, but it was quite annoying.

And somehow, Chen Wen had a sense of crisis.

It seemed that if he didn’t immediately eat something and fill his stomach, it would affect his life.

So this was the side effect.

Chen Wen countered the negative effects of the skill entry

Also, when passing by traces left by animals, Chen Wen’s mind would feel an impulse to pursue these prey.

Simultaneously, he could plan how to find these prey and how to strategize the hunt.

These plans were based on his existing knowledge; if he was unfamiliar with these traces, it would be difficult for him to make accurate judgments.

It seems the skill entry said: significantly enhancing your ability to acquire food is not just a brute-force enhancement.

Chen Wen was a bit disappointed.

He thought it would include that kind of drastic improvement, even to the extent of replacing [Tracking].

It seems this system is fair and won’t let any single skill entry overpower too much.

But even so, Chen Wen was very satisfied.

After all, the side effects were within his tolerable range.

That was quite good.

But as hunger grew, the side effects also intensified.

By around noon resting time, Chen Wen started finding it hard to suppress the side effects.

He quickly used a dagger to cut off some bread, painfully suppressing the side effects.

From the early morning until noon, about nine hours or so.

Not eating for nine hours, accompanied by several hours of trekking, would make the side effects hard to suppress.

If it’s normal survival, Chen Wen felt it was manageable.

In survival terms, the most difficult days regarding hunger are usually the initial few days.

Unless it’s a food-scarce area, otherwise, in a typical region, food can absolutely be consumed within eight hours to alleviate the side effects.

This skill entry was not chosen in vain!

Chen Wen thought excitedly, chewing the bread with slightly more strength.

Making the nearby lynx stare in astonishment.

Oh my, are humans so terrifying?

That thing harder than bones, harder than bones to eat, he can eat it?

And enjoys eating it this much?

The lynx thought and quickly snacked on some Wolf Mink meat to calm down.

Since Wolf Mink meat tasted terrible, it became the exclusive food for the Golden Eagle and the lynx.

The lynx was quite content.

After eating, Chen Wen and his team continued on their way.
