Wilderness Survival with Druid System

After settling down in a territory outside the Vikram camp,

Chen Wen brought the Golden Eagle to Vikram’s camp.

The two planned to discuss the next steps.

Vikram poured Chen Wen a cup of red tea brewed from tea bags and placed it in front of him.

”These are tea bags I seized before, there are too many of them, and I’m not very fond of this red tea flavor. If you want it, take it and drink it,”

Vikram said enthusiastically.

Chen Wen nodded and accepted the tea bags.

This made Vikram feel a bit more assured, as it seemed Chen Wen indeed wanted to cooperate.

After drinking some tea and eating some yak jerky brought by Chen Wen, the two began to discuss serious matters.

”I also spotted those people by chance before,”

Vikram talked about the situation when he discovered those contestants: ”At the time, I was planning to hunt wild sheep. You should be able to see from this slope that if you go over it, there’s a not-so-high mountain over there; I previously saw wild sheep there.”

Chen Wen nodded slightly.

He could also see the tall mountain over there.

”But just when I climbed the slope on the other side, I noticed smoke rising from the nearby valley,”

Vikram squinted his eyes, recalling the situation back then: ”I originally intended to go over and take a look, to see whether the other party was friend or foe. But before I reached the place, the other party should have noticed me in advance.”

”Among them, the tall, thin Caucasian who was always beside Jon took out a bow and arrow, and he shouted at me to leave. I glanced at the situation in the valley, which had three shelters, and one of them was very large. I was worried they had many people, so I stated that I was only there to hunt and had no intention of trespassing.”

”The tall, thin Caucasian made me leave, but when I went nearby again afterward, they became very alert, and I didn’t find an opportunity to attack them.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen was somewhat surprised: ”Aren’t you a former mercenary? The kind from the special forces mercenary group? How come they discovered you in advance?”

When mentioned, a hint of embarrassment crossed Vikram’s face.

He scratched his head and said, ”Well... I was puzzled at the time too, but later, I suddenly realized it was probably because I went from the slope and didn’t pay attention on the road. I stumbled over some rocks, which drew their attention.”

Chen Wen nodded slightly, seeming to acknowledge Vikram’s explanation.

But as if to give himself some credit, Vikram added, ”But later, when I went to scout the situation, they didn’t discover me.”

Chen Wen nodded again, it appeared that those people’s reconnaissance and perception abilities were quite average.

After pausing for a moment, Chen Wen asked, ”So, counting from the day you were discovered by them, how long has it been until today?”

Vikram thought for a while and said, ”Seven or eight days.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen’s eyes lit up.

Seven or eight days, enough time for those contestants to return to their normal levels of vigilance.

”This thing can be done.”

Chen Wen nodded and said, ”Wait a moment, I’ll let the Golden Eagle go see the situation. If feasible, we can take action tonight or tomorrow night!”

Vikram nodded, his eyes flashing with undisguised greed.

Eliminate four people!

Although Sea Extreme Challenge coincided with Mountain Extreme Challenge, its attention wasn’t low. If he could take half of the four people’s prize money, it wouldn’t be a small amount!

Moreover, this money would come faster than being a mercenary, and most importantly, safely.

”Alright, then you first let the Golden Eagle go see the situation.”

Vikram agreed to Chen Wen’s plan.

...

Chen Wen brought the Golden Eagle to the other side of the slope, instructed the Golden Eagle some matters, and focused on scouting these aspects.

Soon, the Golden Eagle flapped its wings and flew out.

Chen Wen waited in place.

After about half an hour, the Golden Eagle flapped its wings and flew back.

As soon as it landed, it began to report the situation it saw to Chen Wen.

”There are four people, three shelters, but their vigilance is fairly average, and even a bit relaxed,”

The Golden Eagle said, with some disdain in its gaze.

In its view, these people’s vigilance pales compared to Chen Wen and even Vikram.

”What about the environment around them?”

Chen Wen asked.

The Golden Eagle recalled and said, ”A valley, but compared to the valley we live in, it falls far short. Basically, there’s no cover. They just live in the middle of the valley, but the entrance is piled with lots of rocks. If you humans try to pass through, you’ll definitely knock over these rocks.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen nodded.

After Vikram’s incident, the other party must have taken some countermeasures.

Now it seemed that the piled rocks were one of their countermeasures.

After thinking for a while, Chen Wen shook his head and said, ”Now it seems that attacking them is still too urgent. These people are still staying alert.”

”To be safe, it’s best to go check the situation again tonight.”

With this conclusion, Chen Wen returned to Vikram and chatted with him.

Although Vikram felt that charging into two-on-four would be more straightforward, Chen Wen wanted to be cautious, so playing it safe was fine.

After deciding on the plan to go check the situation at night, Chen Wen and Vikram simultaneously chose to get some sleep.

After lunch, the two began resting.

Before resting, Chen Wen also received a call from Qu Yong.

Qu Yong informed Chen Wen of Qin Yi’s situation and advised Chen Wen to watch out for the poachers’ retaliation.

According to the news from the reserve, due to various reasons, they have only caught five core members of the Hunting Owl, which includes the four people on Scarface’s side and the leader called Old Dog.

The rest of Old Dog’s people, and the Barbarians, are still in the wilderness.

The reserve is currently searching for these people like finding needles in the ocean, but they are mainly searching around the reserve’s outskirts, as the core area has fewer reserve personnel to spare.

After receiving this information, Chen Wen was somewhat relieved.

If Qin Yi could survive, it would suffice.

However, in terms of the Hunting Owl group, if they appeared, Chen Wen felt that with his and Vikram’s combat power, it shouldn’t be too difficult to fend them off.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Wen continued to rest.

When evening arrived, Chen Wen got up to settle the animals, letting them settle down here.

Then he geared up lightly, took the spear, and met up with Vikram.

The two of them took their weapons and quickly approached the contestants’ camp.

...

In the Australian contestants’ camp, four individuals were gathered around the smoky campfire eating.

”How was today’s harvest? Let’s report back,”

In this temporary cooperative team, the leader was not the Australian contestant, but a Nepalese contestant.

As he began asking about the situation, the other three responded in turn.

”Caught two pika rabbits, and I also discovered a herd of passing Tibetan antelopes. We still have another quota, don’t we?”

The speaker was the tall, thin Caucasian, also an Australian contestant.

Another Australian contestant nodded, ”Yes, I happen to find a herd of wild yaks, but there are quite a few, seven or eight.”

The Nepalese contestant immediately shook his head, ”Too many, if just two or three, we could still try.”

The last was the United Kingdom’s contestant, who said, ”Ever since Vikram appeared last time, he hasn’t come back.”

Upon hearing this, the Nepalese contestant nodded, ”He should also be afraid of us, after all, there are four of us.”

Everyone nodded one after another.
