Wilderness Survival with Druid System

A successful strike!

Both Chen Wen and the Golden Eagle felt a surge of joy in their hearts.

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings and soared, circling freely against the sunset, emitting excited cries continuously.

And Chen Wen slowly stood up.

He watched the circling Golden Eagle and the deep blue sky that seemed like an ocean, his emotions fluctuating.

Ever since getting involved with the Hunting Owl’s affairs, he had been feeling somewhat confused.

But now, the confusion vanished.

Seeing animals living freely on this land is enough!

Just as Chen Wen was thinking about this.

In the distance, the Tibetan Horse Bear and the horse herd gathered, a group of animals majestically approached.

The Snow Leopard family led the front of the team.

The Snow Leopard sped up, leaving the group and pounced towards Chen Wen.

It joyfully circled around Chen Wen, then asked, ”Long time no see, Chen Wen, how have you been?”

”Very fulfilling!”

Chen Wen smiled as he stretched out his hand, feeling the fluffy fur of the Snow Leopard, an inner peace settling.

...

In the evening, Chen Wen and the animals gathered on the Qiangtang Plateau.

Looking at the group of animals, Chen Wen felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

He counted, besides the Golden Eagle he brought along.

The Snow Leopard family, the Xiong Ma family, and the Tibetan Horse Bear.

Though the variety is a bit lacking, the numbers are truly abundant!

”Alright, there’s nothing much to say tonight; you all worked hard to catch up, let’s feast!”

Saying that, Chen Wen took out the skinned Tibetan antelope.

The Tibetan antelope was a feast for the carnivorous animals.

The Snow Leopard family, Golden Eagle, and Tibetan Horse Bear gathered around the Tibetan antelope.

While the vegetarian animals’ feast was the grains and crops Chen Wen obtained earlier from Zhaxi Duntu’s home.

In addition, there were dried fruits and other foods obtained earlier.

Chen Wen generously waved his hand, letting the animals feast freely.

Meanwhile, he used fuel blocks to light a fire, intending to roast a piece of Tibetan antelope meat, hoping to earn a new entry.

As the flames licked the Tibetan antelope meat, its color turned to a charred black.

Chen Wen carefully used his nails to peel off the charred exterior, placing the remaining meat into his mouth.

The taste, naturally, was awful.

Dry, tough, and stringy, with a strong fishy taste and gamey smell.

It was really...

Chen Wen shook his head, looked at the system, and began selecting an entry.

The Tibetan antelope granted Chen Wen an entry related to dexterity, with a great effect.

[Light Spirit (Purple): Significantly enhance the agility of your body, reducing the impact of weight on you now]

This entry is quite interesting!

Chen Wen looked at the effects provided by the entry, his eyes lit up.

After obtaining the entry, he casually jumped.

Soon, Chen Wen felt something was amiss.

Usually, when jumping in a relaxed state without applying effort, Chen Wen felt he could only jump a little over a meter high.

But today was different!

Chen Wen felt he seemed to have jumped higher.

The height increased by more than thirty centimeters compared to usual!

Nearly a thirty percent improvement!

Chen Wen widened his eyes; this might mean his susceptibility to gravity reduced by thirty percent!

Moreover, Chen Wen sensed his movements were faster than usual!

Goodness, this entry is even more outrageous than [Swift]!

Chen Wen scratched his head, feeling that bite of Tibetan antelope meat wasn’t wasted.

”Nice! Really nice!”

Chen Wen couldn’t help but exclaim a few comments.

This drew the attention of the surrounding animals.

Xiong Ma asked, ”What’s nice?”

Chen Wen chuckled but said nothing; however, the Golden Eagle guessed it.

It knew Chen Wen could gain abilities from animals, so the Golden Eagle quickly came over, quietly asking about the situation.

Upon hearing the effects of [Light Spirit], the Golden Eagle’s eyes almost popped out.

A thirty percent reduction in the impact of weight is decent for Chen Wen, but for the Golden Eagle, it’s overwhelmingly powerful!

It quickly discussed with Chen Wen and decided to counter-select this entry.

Chen Wen thought it over and agreed to the Golden Eagle’s request, but looking at its limited counter-selection eligibility, he solemnly told the Golden Eagle not to choose entries recklessly after this.

Meanwhile, Xiong Ma, feeling eager after overhearing, also requested to counter-select this entry.

Xiong Ma had plenty of spare eligibility, so Chen Wen didn’t stop it.

Soon, Xiong Ma made its choice.

It sprinted across the plateau.

The results were evident.

Xiong Ma’s speed was greatly enhanced, and the energy expended while running was much less than before.

The Golden Eagle was even more exaggerated, as it could now flap its wings directly into gliding mode.

Both animals experienced significant improvement.

The banquet reached its peak as Chen Wen opened a can of beef, bringing it to a climax.

The animals devoured the food Chen Wen provided.

The Golden Eagle introduced the Tibetan Horse Bear to Xiong Ma and the Snow Leopard, and the four animals quickly became acquainted.

...

The next morning.

When Chen Wen woke up, he witnessed a somewhat puzzling scene.

The three cubs of the Snow Leopard were lying on the Tibetan Horse Bear’s belly, dozing.

The Golden Eagle stood on Xiong Ma’s back, while the Snow Leopard was using Xiong Ma as a hurdle.

”....”

Chen Wen watched for a moment, feeling speechless; he clapped his hands to draw the animals’ attention: ”Alright, stop messing around, we need to continue moving, so be careful.”

Then, Chen Wen looked at Xiong Ma: ”Since you’ve caught up with the team, let’s move together. Golden Eagle, go up and scout the surroundings; let’s head toward the mountain we saw yesterday.”

The Golden Eagle responded, flapping its wings and swiftly ascending into the sky.

It gently turned its wings, riding the wind upward, disappearing from Chen Wen’s sight.

It’s flying really high!

Chen Wen couldn’t help but think; it seemed this was the first time the Golden Eagle had flown so high.

Xiong Ma approached Chen Wen, signaling for him to ride.

Chen Wen grabbed the fur on Xiong Ma’s side, leaping smoothly onto its back.

”Wow, I feel like I’ve become an elf! It feels like I don’t have any weight.”

Chen Wen couldn’t help but comment.

And Xiong Ma snorted with laughter, saying, ”Though I don’t know what you mean by ’elf,’ you certainly feel much lighter.”

Chen Wen laughed and said, ”Then you should feel relieved, let’s go!”

As Chen Wen gave the command, the animals set off, moving towards the mountain.

The Snow Leopard family and the Tibetan Horse Bear quickly followed along.

...

The group moved majestically towards the depths of Qiangtang.

After roughly fifty minutes of walking, the previously missing Golden Eagle reappeared.

It glided above Chen Wen’s head, then gathered its wings and dove down; at a height of over a hundred meters from Chen Wen’s head, the Golden Eagle spread its wings, like a wide and light leaf, immediately stabilizing its speed.

”Chen Wen! There’s a discovery!”

The Golden Eagle informed Chen Wen, ”It seems there’s human activity on that mountain! I didn’t look closely, but I’m sure there are humans; they’re wearing camouflage!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen looked towards the distant mountain.

Humans...

This area is deep into the Qiangtang, seldom visited by herders.

Probably it’s the Hunting Owls!

Chen Wen looked at the animals behind him and said, ”Speed up! Let’s go and have a look!”

Xiong Ma worriedly said, ”Won’t it be too dangerous?”

It had heard from the Golden Eagle about Chen Wen’s previous experiences and felt concerned.

The Tibetan Horse Bear boldly declared, ”No need to fear! With me here, what Hunting Owl or no Hunting Owl, one slap and it’s done!”

The Snow Leopard licked its paws, a glint of hidden anger flashing in its eyes.

It still remembered the incident of its cubs being captured by those people!

Chen Wen said, ”Though dangerous, there’s no need to fear; I’m here!”

The simple words reassured the animals.

The group accelerated, heading towards the mountain.
