Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Help the white bird?

Chen Wen was stunned: ”But that’s a competitor of your species, the Snowy Owl. Are you sure you want to help it?”

”I’m sure, after all, we’ve met it once. And that Golden Eagle is male, I don’t like other Golden Eagles strutting over my head.”

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings, showing intense hostility.

Repelled by the same sex!

Chen Wen soothed the Golden Eagle and said, ”Then let’s not help either of them. Let these two birds settle it themselves, and we can just benefit from it.”

As Chen Wen was speaking.

From above, accompanied by the distinctive cry of the Snowy Owl.

It seemed to be unable to withstand the Golden Eagle’s attack and began to flee.

The wild Golden Eagle eagerly chased, attempting to finish off the Snowy Owl.

But just when the wild Golden Eagle thought victory was in sight.

The Snowy Owl suddenly flapped its wings and ascended.

The technique was quite exquisite.

The Golden Eagle didn’t notice in time and was completely outmaneuvered by the Snowy Owl.

It missed and began to fall.

And at this moment, the Snowy Owl suddenly changed its flight posture.

It swooped down at an almost vertical angle, fiercely pecking the Golden Eagle’s back.

The Golden Eagle, unwilling to be attacked, flipped over and caught the Snowy Owl, grappling with it.

Both birds lost balance and fell from the height.

Seeing this scene, Chen Wen couldn’t help but gape.

What’s happening here?

Are they really going to perish together while fighting?

So intense!

Because Chen Wen wasn’t too far from the two birds, he instinctively moved forward a little to see if he could catch one of them.

But the situation above changed again.

Somehow, the Snowy Owl managed to momentarily suppress the Golden Eagle.

The two birds’ direction changed, and the suppressed Golden Eagle was slammed back-first into a branch.

The Golden Eagle seemed to be hit hard and began to struggle wildly.

Seizing the opportunity for a follow-up attack, the Snowy Owl continued to drag the Golden Eagle downwards.

Soon, with both the Golden Eagle and Snowy Owl falling.

Both birds seemed to lose consciousness, scattering as they were struck by branches, with the Golden Eagle’s head even crashing into the trunk of a big tree.

What a miserable sight!

Chen Wen caught the falling two birds, first holding the Snowy Owl.

While the Golden Eagle was grabbed by its wings with his other hand.

”Are they both dead now?”

Looking at the two raptors with drooping heads, Chen Wen couldn’t help but say.

And just by looking at the state of the Snowy Owl and Gold Eagle, he felt that they were probably both dead.

The Snowy Owl’s body, originally pure white, had become dingy with bloodstains, and much of its feathers were lost.

The Golden Eagle’s body was also pecked with many wounds by the Snowy Owl, still bleeding.

However, what seemed most fatal was Chen Wen’s sense that the Golden Eagle’s bones were broken.

”Your kind might be dying.”

Chen Wen felt the Golden Eagle’s bones, quite certain its neck was completely broken.

Yet instead of being sad, the Golden Eagle gloated: ”Good riddance! This guy’s so big, maybe it bullied me before!”

Chen Wen clicked his tongue.

You really can’t judge animals by human moral standards.

He shook his head, placing the dying Golden Eagle on the snow.

Even if his own Golden Eagle wasn’t concerned with its kind, Chen Wen had no intention of eating Golden Eagle meat.

It would make him uncomfortable and might make the Golden Eagle uncomfortable too.

Animals generally have different thoughts about creatures that can eat them, especially intelligent animals.

As for the Snowy Owl.

After a short check-up, Chen Wen felt it might still be salvageable.

He tucked the Snowy Owl in his arms and left with the Golden Eagle.

...

Back in the camp, Chen Wen took out the Snowy Owl, causing Hua Yun to exclaim admirably.

She was a loyal Harry Potter fan, knowing more about Snowy Owls than Chen Wen.

Hearing that a conflict had occurred between a Snowy Owl and a wild Golden Eagle, Hua Yun couldn’t help but glance at Chen Wen.

”Your luck is unbelievably good, to encounter such a rare scene.”

Speaking, Hua Yun explained: ”Snowy Owls generally don’t provoke Golden Eagles; they are cautious. Despite much literature suggesting Snowy Owls and Golden Eagles are competitors, there’s no specific video evidence. This time, you filled in that gap!”

Chen Wen sheepishly scratched his head: ”I’ve always been lucky.”

Hua Yun agreed wholeheartedly upon hearing this.

Luck plays a significant role in survival wilderness adventures, providing a sizable advantage to those who are lucky.

”Regarding the flying maneuvers of the Snowy Owl, unlike other owls, they are active during the day. This results in female Snowy Owls selecting male mates based on their flight displays during courtship. Snowy Owls’ courtship performances are very intricate and exquisite, and their flight skills significantly surpass most other owls.”

”The vertical descent you mentioned is one of their aerial acrobatics performances, meaning this is a very experienced male Snowy Owl.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen gently attended to the Snowy Owl, deploying[Animal Doctor].

If this Snowy Owl, as the Golden Eagle suggested, had been following them all the way, it might be a special animal.

Once healed, it might even offer a new skill.

For raptors, the Snowy Owl promises impressive skills.

Particularly its recently displayed flying maneuvers, which seemed even more skilled than the Golden Eagle’s to Chen Wen.

After all, the Golden Eagle is clumsy compared to the pure white, deft Snowy Owl.

After using[Animal Doctor], Chen Wen placed the Snowy Owl on the sled.

He shot a glare at the lynx trying to lick the Snowy Owl, saying, ”That’s not for you to eat!”

The lynx reluctantly pulled back its head.

If you say I can’t eat it, then I won’t. But why so fierce!

Besides, isn’t it natural for cats to eat birds?

Finishing with the lynx, Chen Wen said, ”Let’s cook, and rest early tonight.”

...

The next morning.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun had a simple breakfast.

While they were loading the firewood they had gathered onto the sled, Chen Wen suddenly noticed the Snowy Owl seemed to awaken.

Since Chen Wen had tied the Snowy Owl to the sled, it was now dazedly considering why it was there.

Seeing this, Chen Wen signaled for Hua Yun to stop.

He took the opportunity, before the Snowy Owl fully woke, to carefully inspect its wounds.

The bleeding had stopped.

Chen Wen, looking at Hua Yun, excitedly said: ”Seems this little guy is quite lucky, it didn’t die.”

Hua Yun nodded, saying: ”Why don’t you try taming it? If you really manage to tame it, this one combined with the Golden Eagle would make a formidable team.”

Chen Wen nodded, setting his sights on the Snowy Owl.

As he pondered how to communicate with the Snowy Owl, he noticed its eyes suddenly sharpened.

Feeling a hint of unease, Chen Wen quickly withdrew his hand.

The next second, the Snowy Owl’s head suddenly lowered, fiercely pecking towards Chen Wen’s hand.

But because Chen Wen had let it go, the Snowy Owl pecked at the air.

”What? Is your aggression this strong?”

Chen Wen couldn’t help but retract his hand, gazing at the Snowy Owl in surprise.

This was the first time he encountered an animal treated with[Animal Doctor]still showing such strong aggression.

And as Chen Wen spoke.

The Snowy Owl made a unique throaty sound, similar to a whimpering ’ooh’, followed by a series of cooing sounds.

To Hua Yun’s ears, these sounds indicated an impending attack from the Snowy Owl.

Moreover, the Snowy Owl now assumed an aggressive stance.

In a posture ready for a desperate fight, its snow-white wings spread, and its pitch-black beak was opened wide.

Its pair of vivid yellow eyes peeked out from behind the feathers, full of intense hostility.

But in Chen Wen’s ears, he heard something else entirely.
