Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Here is the translation:

The words made the mine instantly fall silent.

Some showed fear on their faces, while others appeared somewhat expectant.

After everyone digested the news, the strong man continued: ”This person is Brother Manzi’s biggest headache! The reason you can’t earn money! This person is called Chen Wen! A so-called Survivor, which is just a plaything for the wealthy!”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The rich man who cut off their income!

This identity was enough for many to feel united in their anger and stir a fury in their hearts.

In the crowd, anger began to accumulate!

At this moment, the strong man added fuel to the fire.

He shouted loudly: ”Now, this idiot called Chen Wen is still on this land! He’s even near us, do you know what he’s here to do?”

Upon hearing this, the crowd remained silent.

The strong man didn’t expect a response, he angrily said: ”This bastard is cooperating with the officials! He’s here to catch us! For every person he catches, he can earn tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands!”

”Damn it! This person is already rich, but not content with cutting off our brothers’ income, he wants to exchange our heads for money. Do you think this person is still human?”

This news couldn’t be verified, so the strong man brazenly spouted nonsense.

In the crowd, a plant began to shout angrily: ”Chen Wen is a bastard!”

Soon, some scattered voices echoed, and as more people joined in, the faces of many in the crowd twisted with rage.

”So!”

The strong man raised his hand, stopping the crowd from shouting further.

He continued: ”Kill Chen Wen! Brother Manzi will give twenty thousand yuan as a bounty!”

Twenty thousand!

For the peripheral members of Hunting Owl, this was already a high price!

Many were tempted, some even swallowed hard.

”Apart from the twenty thousand, Brother Manzi also promises to take you to other places to make money and become a core member like me!”

The strong man continued to agitate: ”Whether you’re alone or in a group, as long as you catch Chen Wen and take him down, each person will get twenty thousand! And even earn a spot!”

This time everyone was tempted.

Almost without hesitation, one peripheral member asked: ”Where is Chen Wen?”

Heh, turns out only money can move these guys!

The strong man chuckled inwardly, then loudly said: ”Nearby! And he might come to our mine anytime!”

”Let him come!”

Someone shouted: ”When he arrives, brothers, we’ll join forces and kill him!”

”Yes! Kill him!”

”Kill him!”

In the eerie mine, the chilling cries echoed on.

...

In the tunnel.

Chen Wen, with sharp eyes and ears, quickly sensed a problem.

”Hiss... Why do I feel someone is shouting?”

He returned to human form, somewhat surprised as he looked deeper into the tunnel.

He heard sounds from there, but couldn’t quite discern the details; after all, the tunnel was twisted, and any sound coming through was bound to be different from its original.

”But I can be sure there are people inside!”

Chen Wen’s eyes flickered.

After glancing around, he soon found a higher spot in the tunnel, transformed into Jixiao, flew to the top of the tunnel, and perched on a protrusion there.

He waited quietly for several minutes.

Footsteps echoed from far to near in the depths of the tunnel.

In Jixiao form, Chen Wen looked at the approaching group, soon recognizing a somewhat familiar strong man, surrounded by four or five people, heading out of the tunnel.

This should be the one who escaped last night!

In Jixiao form, Chen Wen thought, without making any rash moves.

The group surrounding him was uttering flattering words.

Nothing of substance, nothing of content.

Thought Chen Wen.

Soon after, another group emerged from the depths of the tunnel.

Chen Wen glanced, these people exuded a fervent aura all over, and their bodies clearly showed they were the kind to have labored for years.

Miners?

Or peripheral members of Hunting Owl?

Soon, these people trickled out one by one, arriving outside the mine.

In Jixiao form, Chen Wen used the opportunity to traverse the tunnel, reaching outside as well.

However, he hid inside a nearby abandoned mine cart, observing the group from afar.

Upon arriving outside the mine, the group dispersed into other mine caves and buildings within the mining site.

After a while, they emerged holding weapons.

These so-called weapons were mostly mining picks, cooking knives, and some other things, even wooden sticks.

Watching this scene, Chen Wen in Jixiao form scratched his feathers.

What’s this?

What is this group planning to do?

To rebel?

But soon, Chen Wen knew the group’s purpose.

”Excellent!”

Seeing the crowd armed, the strong man shouted: ”Now, you can go out and find Chen Wen! Once you spot him, strike immediately! My words are as good as my bond!”

Hearing this, Chen Wen in Jixiao form scratched off two feathers.

What the heck, this is quite absurd!

Does this group really plan to kill me?

Don’t they know the protected area has already sealed off the outside, just waiting to trap them like turtles in a jar?

In Jixiao form, Chen Wen decisively flew away, lingered no more.

Upon reaching the high skies, he immediately transformed into Golden Eagle, circling above the mining site, monitoring the group.

These people who seemed like miners spread out, searching around the mining site for Chen Wen.

But they were destined not to find him.

Chen Wen had already transformed into Golden Eagle, circling above their heads.

As Tibetan Horse Bear and others sensed the danger, they quickly escaped into the deep mountains after Golden Eagle Chen Wen warned them.

Upon receiving the information, Golden Eagle also took Li Ma to meet Xiong Ma.

Ensuring the animals’ safety.

Golden Eagle Chen Wen, now without concerns, continued circling, quickly locking onto a few individuals.

The strong man, naturally, being one of them.

In addition to him, there were three or four others, likely close associates or sycophants of the strong man.

Chen Wen noted these individuals down.

While Chen Wen observed the situation here, he also noticed a sneaky figure.

Vikram splitting his forces!

Vikram too had arrived near the mine, albeit from another direction.

Upon seeing the situation here, Vikram also refrained from acting rashly.

With few people around the mining site, he stealthily sneaked inside, taking refuge in a tunnel.

Seeing this, Chen Wen memorized the tunnel’s location.

...

Having circled in the sky for a long time, the sun gradually moved westward.

Soon, it was evening.

Golden Eagle Chen Wen found a resting spot, perched there, keeping an eye on the interior of the mining site.

At this moment, everyone at the mining site gathered again.

After searching all day but failing to find any trace of Chen Wen, the miners were more or less fatigued.

At this point, some began to realize something was off.

Yet, due to the overall environment and the strong man’s weapons, these people dared not speak much.

Still, it was clear to anyone that the team’s energy wasn’t as high as it was at noon.

The strong man understood this well.

He knew this group before him couldn’t be relied upon, but he never intended to rely on them from the start.

Thus, after dinner had finished.

He gathered a few individuals he trusted and secretly instructed them, packing survival supplies and repair tools.

Once night fell and the group was asleep, he planned to leave the mining site with these few people, fix a car, and drive away.

As for the people at the mining site, who would have time to care about them?
