Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The next day.

Chen Wen sneezed and opened his eyes, a furry ball was squirming on his face.

”Fat Head, good morning.”

Chen Wen said, reaching out to pluck the ball off.

Wuwu~

Fat Head let out a series of cheerful calls, clearly in a good mood now.

After taking Fat Head away, Chen Wen sat up straight and yawned.

He looked around, all the animals were present and safe.

The Golden Eagle had even caught a pika again and was eating.

This harmonious scene instantly comforted Chen Wen’s heart.

Everyone being safe is always a good thing!

Just as Chen Wen was feeling emotional, Xiong Ma’s voice interrupted him.

”Where are we heading today?”

Xiong Ma walked over, conveying the situation on its end: ”Today we need to find a place with food, the other members of the group need to eat.”

Chen Wen glanced at Xiong Ma and the herd of horses, nodding slightly.

For herbivores, the larger the size, the longer the feeding time.

River Curve Horses must spend a long time feeding to ensure they don’t starve to death.

”Alright, you find a place to eat, I’ll go with you, let’s keep heading towards the center of Qiangtang.”

Chen Wen said.

After retrieving the Snow Leopard, he planned to return to normal survival.

Chen Wen didn’t want to meddle with the poachers, they naturally had the association and reserves to handle them.

As long as they don’t come looking for trouble.

Of course, if they did come looking, they’d definitely regret it.

He didn’t want to deal with those people, not only to avoid trouble but mainly because Chen Wen didn’t know these people were involved with the Hunting Owl.

If he knew they were connected to the Hunting Owl, Chen Wen wouldn’t let them go easily.

At least he would capture one alive to interrogate about Hunting Owl operations here.

Upon hearing Chen Wen’s plan, Xiong Ma called out, gathering the group members nearby.

Chen Wen allocated supplies to the more tamed horses, letting them carry the supplies.

While Chen Wen carried a few essential tools and supplies, walking beside the herd.

The Snow Leopard family was still carried by Xiong Ma.

The mighty entourage leisurely moved towards the center of Qiangtang.

...

During the journey, Chen Wen took out the satellite phone to contact the association again.

He was already back to his usual calm: ”Mr. Qu, I’ve resolved the issue.”

Hearing this, Qu Yong was taken aback: ”You’ve found the Snow Leopard cub?”

”Yes.”

Chen Wen recounted the processed course of events: ”Remember when I had the Golden Eagle follow those people? Last night the Golden Eagle returned, leading me to a valley. I rushed over overnight and saw the poachers there.”

”I didn’t alarm them, but stealthily approached their camp, taking advantage of their sleep without a lookout, and stole the Snow Leopard cub.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Yong was genuinely amazed by Chen Wen’s bravery: ”You are quite bold, daring to approach them in such circumstances. To be honest, your stealth skills are almost on par with reconnaissance soldiers.”

Additionally, Qu Yong felt Chen Wen’s action capability was truly strong!

In just one night and half a day, he could reverse-track these poachers, along with supplies and a group of animals chasing them down, successfully rescuing the Snow Leopard cub.

After saying that, Qu Yong added: ”By the way, can you provide the location of those people?”

Chen Wen thought for a moment and described the position of the little hill.

Qu Yong noted the location, then continued: ”You don’t need to worry about the reserves, yesterday’s matters have been coordinated with them. I’ve also had Mr. Liu contact the higher-ups at the reserves.”

Regarding these aspects, Chen Wen didn’t say much, only commenting: ”Please handle the external matters, I’ll just say all the animals scattered. I don’t want to get involved in reserve affairs.”

Hearing this, Qu Yong felt somewhat assured.

He nodded, saying: ”Alright, your non-involvement is good, let me handle things here, plus you have past grievances with those poachers.”

Past grievances?

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen was puzzled: ”Could I possibly know these poachers?”

”Not exactly know them.”

Qu Yong conveyed the information he learned: ”I heard from Mr. Liu that these poachers seem to be remnants of the Hunting Owl. Do you remember the incident at Ailao Mountain last time? At that time, a batch of Hunting Owl members were dealt with, but there was still a group hidden deep. This time it’s likely them.”

Chen Wen mused, rubbing his chin.

These people turned out to be the Hunting Owl...

He thought for a moment, then said: ”Alright, I won’t ask about specifics. You handle the contact there; I’ll continue surviving here.”

”Alright.”

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Wen pocketed the satellite phone and glanced in the direction of the poachers’ camp.

Those people are actually Hunting Owl.

Things have gotten interesting.

...

When Chen Wen learned of the poachers’ identity.

On the poachers’ side.

Big Beard and the other two, with dark circles under their eyes, regrouped at the camp.

”How are things? Found anything?”

Big Beard looked at The Grandchild.

The Grandchild shook his head, his only good eye showing signs of fatigue: ”No, not even a trace! It’s as if it vanished into thin air!”

Cleft Lip also tiredly sighed: ”Couldn’t find anything, not a thing.”

Big Beard raised his hand to massage his temple, feeling exhausted.

Why on earth!

How did the Snow Leopard cub seem to just vanish into thin air, without any trace, and even the cage disappeared?

”Damn, what the hell is going on!”

Big Beard was somewhat on edge, unable to resist pacing around.

”Or...”

The Grandchild had an idea, he said: ”I’ll stay here and continue looking. You try to find that Chen Wen, see if he has news about other Snow Leopard cubs.”

”We’ve been searching for half a day without any progress, I feel we should prepare to act on both fronts.”

Hearing this, Big Beard gradually calmed down.

He took a deep breath, and said: ”Alright, we’ll drive over, leave you enough supplies, be careful!”

Saying that, Big Beard didn’t even bother to rest.

He called out to Cleft Lip, unloading things from the car.

The two unloaded all supplies, leaving only some fuel, food, and water, not bringing anything else.

They planned to find Chen Wen as quickly as possible.

But just as they were leaving, Cleft Lip seemed to remember something and rummaged through his tent, soon retrieving a black object.

Seeing the other two looking at him, Cleft Lip explained: ”Something I bought online, a telescope, it could be useful.”

”Alright, get in the car, let’s move!”

Big Beard said no more, directly telling Cleft Lip to get in the car.

Without bothering to say goodbye to The Grandchild, they floored the gas pedal, and the car shot out.

While The Grandchild picked up a spear, continuing to search around the camp for the Snow Leopard cub or any sign.

He glanced at the car driving away, thinking: Hopefully, they’ll encounter Chen Wen! Encounter Chen Wen!

Then they can get news of the other two Snow Leopard cubs from him, and conveniently lop off his head!

Otherwise, he felt he might not see next year’s sun.
