Wilderness Survival with Druid System

”Hello? Ciren? Cairang? How’s everything on your end? I’m coming with the boss to switch shifts for you!”

A person yawning speaks through the walkie-talkie, accompanied by a rustling sound.

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Wen immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.

He hesitated, wondering whether to imitate the voices of the two and see if he could fool the other side.

But he quickly gave up.

He couldn’t mimic them because both of the speakers had pronounced accents.

Since there was no response from this side.

The speaker couldn’t help but repeat, ”Ciren? Cairang? Did you fall asleep? Answer me!”

At this moment, beside that person, Barbarians’ voice sounded.

He seemed to realize something and asked in a low voice, ”Something’s up, they might have been attacked over there!”

Chen Wen recognized Barbarians’ voice, he thought for a moment, then pressed the button on the walkie-talkie to speak.

Sizzle~

As the sound of electricity buzzed, Barbarians and the second brother held their breath inside the car.

Soon, a stranger’s voice spoke, ”Barbarians? I’ve heard quite a bit about you! I heard you’re the first Hunting Owl to take root in Qiangtang?”

Upon hearing this, Barbarians exchanged a glance with the second brother.

He immediately identified Chen Wen’s identity, ”This voice is most likely Chen Wen’s!”

Hearing this, the second brother immediately said, ”Then we’re...”

Barbarians raised his hand, ”You go, tell the brothers to grab their weapons and go find him! I’ll stall him!”

After saying this, afraid that Chen Wen might escape, he added, ”Chen Wen, right? Though it’s been brief, your name left a deep impression on me!”

Through the walkie-talkie, Chen Wen heard the commotion on the other side.

Still rustling, but louder than before.

Getting down from the car?

Trying to find my location?

Chen Wen chuckled and started heading towards Xiong Ma.

As he ran, he said, ”Ha ha, let’s not dawdle, you want my head and animals, I also want you to feel the comfort of Hua Country’s prison system. So, let’s play a game.”

Barbarians, hearing this, didn’t expect Chen Wen to be so straightforward.

He chuckled and asked, ”What game?”

”You chase, I escape!”

Chen Wen arrived next to Xiong Ma and patted its body. Xiong Ma understood Chen Wen’s intention and immediately let out a whinnying sound.

”I have a good horse, also my good friend. I’ll ride it, while you drive. If you catch me, the head and animals are yours.”

Chen Wen mounted the horse and glanced back at the valley.

Lights were already flickering there.

After a moment of silence, Chen Wen said, ”If you can’t catch me, ha ha, you’ll stay in Hua Country!”

Hearing Chen Wen’s words, Barbarians laughed over the walkie-talkie, ”Ha ha, looks like you’re ready to give me your head. Alright, I’ll let you run for a few minutes first!”

With that, Barbarians tossed the walkie-talkie away and loudly rallied everyone to get in the cars.

As for letting Chen Wen run for a few minutes...

Even Barbarians himself didn’t believe it!

Soon, under Barbarians’ loud orders, the Hunting Owl people scrambled up into the cars.

Accompanied by the roar of engines, the valley was no longer peaceful.

The driver of the SUV was San, who drove with extreme aggression.

Before anyone closed the door, he floored the gas pedal, causing a violent roar from the engine as he charged out of the valley first.

Outside the valley, Chen Wen glanced back at the SUV rushing out, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

In such a hurry.

But don’t rush, there’s something even more urgent behind!

Chen Wen gently pushed the back of Xiong Ma’s neck, and Xiong Ma instantly understood his meaning.

Run!

Feeling the roar of engines not far away, an indescribable sensation surged from Xiong Ma’s body!

Xiong Ma let out a long neigh, bursting out at its fastest speed, charging like the wind towards the direction where Chen Wen set traps.

Riding horseback, Chen Wen took out a flashlight.

He flashed it a few times towards the SUV barreling out, and soon, the other side noticed Chen Wen.

”So arrogant?”

San, with an aggressive temper, spat, cursing as he floored the gas pedal, starting to chase after Chen Wen.

However, the fourth brother in the passenger seat was a calm and composed character.

He reminded, ”Being so arrogant, Chen Wen surely has confidence. Be cautious when driving later, and if you detect anything unusual, get out immediately!”

San grunted in response.

Aggressive as he was, he wasn’t without brains.

What the fourth brother said made sense, and he certainly wouldn’t object.

Just then, the truck also roared out.

Barbarians sat in the passenger seat, while the second brother drove.

He looked out the window at San and shouted, ”The big truck is slow, so we’ll tail Chen Wen from behind. The SUV is fast, you try to circle around and cut off Chen Wen ahead. Also, be wary of ambushes! Although the intel suggests the protected area has miners previously captured, we still need to be cautious! Chen Wen’s personality won’t make him risk himself at such a time!”

Hearing these words, San nodded, ”Understood! I’ll go ahead!”

Saying this, San floored the gas, and the SUV sped out like an arrow, hurtling towards Chen Wen.

...

On Xiong Ma’s back, Chen Wen turned to judge the distance between Barbarians’ men and himself.

Soon, Chen Wen realized their strategy.

”Planning to have the SUV circle ahead and try to surround me?”

Chen Wen furrowed his brows slightly.

The SUV must be modified, its speed faster than he expected. Maintaining top speed, it would certainly catch up to Xiong Ma!

Xiong Ma wasn’t slow either.

But to be cautious, as Xiong Ma ran, Chen Wen had it select another speed-enhancing perk.

[Iron Bear Triathlon (Gold): You excel at running, climbing trees, swimming, your speed will increase during pursuit in these activities]

This perk, once stolen from a black bear, increased Xiong Ma’s speed by several notches.

Since Xiong Ma had great stamina, Chen Wen didn’t use its limited perk-selection opportunities for stamina boost.

With the perk’s support, Xiong Ma ran faster and faster, excitedly neighing with frothy saliva flying from its mouth.

Chen Wen ducked his head, avoiding the wind-blown saliva.

Honestly, Chen Wen felt the weather was slightly against him.

Xiong Ma now ran against the wind, consuming more energy and affecting speed.

But as Chen Wen pondered this, the spirit of Qiangtang seemed to sense his intent. About a minute later, the wind direction changed!

The strong wind blew from behind Chen Wen, propelling him and Xiong Ma rapidly forward.

Meanwhile, behind them, after an acceleration burst, the SUV caught sight of Chen Wen.

Chen Wen glanced back, noticing the SUV’s blinding headlights.

He extended his hand, raised his middle finger again, provoking San.
