Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Vikram couldn’t help but say after listening: ”I don’t think it will work, they dug the traps there themselves, how could they forget?”

Chen Wen waved his hand: ”They’ll forget, the environment here is not much different, and it’s night. If we can modify the traps a bit, tricking them isn’t difficult.”

The two didn’t dwell too much on this topic.

After all, it’s just a backup plan.

The main thing is to see how the night raid goes.

It was still early in the night, and since they weren’t too far from the Hunting Owl’s camp, Chen Wen and Vikram chose to rest.

Chen Wen leaned against the cliff, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

After three or four hours.

He opened his eyes and stood up.

After waking Vikram, Chen Wen rode Xiong Ma while Vikram rode a borrowed horse, and the two left the valley, heading towards the Hunting Owl’s camp.

About an hour later.

Chen Wen had already seen the valley where the Hunting Owl was located.

”That’s the valley up ahead, let’s walk over, the horses’ footsteps are too loud.”

Chen Wen said, dismounting, and Vikram followed suit.

The two armed themselves and approached the valley under the cover of night.

Because Chen Wen knew in advance the ambush spots of the Hunting Owl members, he led Vikram to approach the cliff from the side, avoiding the ambush and patrol locations of the Hunting Owl members.

The two successfully reached the top of the cliff.

Glancing at the situation below, Chen Wen couldn’t help but whisper: ”Do you see? The defense of their camp?”

Vikram nodded, saying: ”Very tight, some of them must have military experience, this kind of defense is a classic outdoor defense, and this area is small, there’s almost no way to break through and get inside.”

That said, Vikram was still a bit tempted to try.

But very quickly, Chen Wen pulled Vikram, pretending to have just discovered, directing Vikram’s gaze to the positions of two gunmen.

Seeing the gunmen, Vikram couldn’t help but gasp.

There are people here?

And guns?

He thought for a moment, finally shaking his head: ”No way, there’s no chance of entering, we could only try taking down their sentries, but with their current alertness, taking out two sentries would definitely get us discovered! Then we become sitting ducks for the gunmen, who have a vantage point over the entire valley!”

The two continued to observe for a while, and Chen Wen noticed that while resting, these people took turns resting in the cars.

Even if they turned into the Taipan Snake, an attack couldn’t take them all out without leaving anyone behind.

Moreover, the venom of the Taipan Snake is limited; after taking out four or five people, there wouldn’t be enough venom left.

”Forget it, let’s leave here and think of another way.”

Chen Wen said.

Vikram nodded, it was the only option now.

The two left the cliff and went to a distant hillside.

...

”What should we do? Can we notify the people in the sanctuary?”

Vikram asked.

Chen Wen nodded: ”I’ve notified them, but they’re escorting the previous Hunting Owl members, the main force won’t arrive here for about three days.”

”And...”

Chen Wen glanced at the valley, noticing that all the clutter in the valley had been moved onto the vehicles.

These people were likely planning to make a run for it!

Chen Wen thought for a moment and shared his suspicion with Vikram.

Vikram recalled for a moment and noticed it too.

He anxiously shook his legs, saying: ”If they’re really leaving, it’s going to be hard for just the two of us to stop them, right?”

Not just hard, almost impossible!

Chen Wen couldn’t help but sigh, their power was indeed limited, especially since the opposing side had firearms.

Once they got in the cars and decided to leave, they’d be helpless.

Chen Wen thought for a moment and said: ”Alright, I thought about it, we can’t just wait for them to leave, we need to come up with a plan, take the initiative, and make them stay!”

That being said, how to make the Hunting Owl stay, even subdue them, was a big problem.

After a moment of silence, Chen Wen brought up the plan he had mentioned before.

The plan was to use the darkness to lure the Hunting Owls into the trap Chen Wen had set earlier, causing their cars and trucks to crash into the trap and disable them.

Moreover, after the crash, the Hunting Owls would either be unconscious or in a disoriented state for a long time.

This would be the perfect opportunity for Chen Wen and Vikram to attack the Hunting Owls!

Initially, Vikram wasn’t very fond of this plan, he felt like the Hunting Owls wouldn’t just foolishly drive into the trap.

After all, they were the ones who set that trap, and these people probably engaged in nighttime poaching regularly.

So the chances of tricking them seemed low.

However, after some deliberation, Chen Wen had matured his thoughts significantly.

Chen Wen began to elaborate on the plan: ”First of all, we can’t just leave the trap there and do nothing, relying on luck for them to drive into it, so we need to camouflage the trap.”

With that, Chen Wen gestured for Vikram to follow him, and he led Vikram back to the valley camp.

...

After returning to the valley camp.

Chen Wen took out the yak hide he always carried, along with some animal skins he had collected earlier.

Chen Wen had initially planned to use these as trade goods with the herders, but hadn’t had the chance to use them.

Chen Wen said: ”You mentioned the size of the trap before, I thought it over, and the trap shouldn’t be too large. A piece of yak hide should be enough to cover it, we’ll use some sharp tools to pierce the hide and fix its edges to the ground, like setting up a tent, to disguise the trap.”

Hearing this, Vikram frowned.

After thinking it over, he said: ”It’s feasible, but Chen Wen, have you considered what to do if the center of the yak hide sags once it’s laid down?”

Chen Wen replied: ”Easy, you’re not using your long spear, are you?”

Vikram looked at the long spear he was carrying, it was truly long, much longer than Chen Wen’s javelin-type spears!

”No, I only used this spear once or twice after I got it.”

Vikram said.

Hearing this, Chen Wen said: ”If it’s not in use, we can break it to use as support, prop it up inside the pit, what do you think?”

Vikram recalled the situation inside the pit, the spear could easily hold up the yak hide in terms of depth, and it could provide support.

Soon, Vikram nodded: ”This plan is feasible! We can try it!”

Seeing Vikram agree, Chen Wen continued: ”Additionally, to ensure the trap fully deceives them, I plan to scatter some sand and gravel on the yak hide.”

”Not too much, just enough to cover it up. Since it’s nighttime, as long as they can’t distinguish it right away, it’s fine.”

Hearing this, Vikram nodded again: ”Okay, no problem.”

He was ninety-nine percent convinced by Chen Wen.

For the final one-tenth percent, Vikram said: ”But I still have one issue, how do we lure them in? We don’t have anything to attract them...”

As he spoke, Vikram suddenly realized, the most enticing thing for the Hunting Owls was probably the person sitting right in front of him, Chen Wen, wasn’t it?
