Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chen Wen looked at this round of cultivation summary with satisfaction.

The points weren’t much different from last time.

And then there’s the experience!

Let’s see if I can upgrade this time!

After closing the summary page, the system flickered, and soon a line of characters appeared.

Seeing the characters, a joyous expression surfaced on Chen Wen’s face involuntarily.

[Druid Level Up]

[New Abilities Unlocked: Tree Shepherd, Shared Vision, Close to Nature]

[Tree Shepherd: Now you are closer to trees, you can actively communicate with them, perceive their condition, and help them grow. Afterward, you can extract their entries, and trees with extracted entries are considered special animals. PS: One communication requires a one-week cooldown.]

[Shared Vision: Now you can unilaterally share vision with special animals. Each sharing consumes a lot of energy, so be sure to rest.]

[Close to Nature: You are becoming more attuned to nature. Now, you can sense more from nature, with passive perception being lesser. PS: After active sensing, it takes a whole day to recover energy.]

The three new abilities left Chen Wen in a daze for quite a while.

The first ability, [Tree Shepherd], is an upgraded version of the previously acquired ability—[Tree Whisperer].

But Chen Wen has not used the [Tree Whisperer] ability even once until now.

The trigger chance for this is ridiculously low; Chen Wen even suspects its probability is lower than the lottery chances of a game by a certain penguin company, or even a burgeoning game box!

But with [Tree Shepherd], this ability gets interesting.

This entry allows you to extract a tree entry once a week, and it even considers trees as special animals!

Could this mean trees could gain wisdom?

Chen Wen thought about it and decided to try this entry next time he lands for survival.

The second ability, [Shared Vision], is a bit crazy!

Sharing vision with special animals!

It means Chen Wen doesn’t need to actively look and can gain the vision of a Golden Eagle!

Also, extracted trees are considered special animals. If he extracts a large tree around the camp, could he share the tree’s vision?

What can trees see?

Chen Wen scratched his head, unable to figure it out for a moment.

This, too, must be tested in the next survival!

As for the third ability, it’s a bit puzzling.

[Perception of Nature]

Sensing more things, what does this mean?

Increasing perception abilities?

Or something else?

Chen Wen scratched his head, but this entry can be used now.

He closed his eyes, actively used this ability, and carefully sensed the changes around him.

Gradually.

Chen Wen started sensing something was off!

He felt as if his consciousness had separated from his body.

Then, his consciousness seemed to be in the air, but he couldn’t see or touch anything.

A very strange feeling!

But Chen Wen could feel changes in some things around him.

Like in the carriage he was in.

Chen Wen could feel the air flowing.

As his perception spread further, he suddenly sensed some peculiar things.

In front of him, there were some low shrubs.

These shrubs were conveying a message to Chen Wen—they were about to be crushed!

Whoosh!

The truck sped past.

Luckily, it didn’t crush those shrubs.

The low shrubs sighed in relief, seemingly saying that escaping this calamity must mean good fortune ahead.

Chen Wen opened his eyes.

But in the next second, a strong wave of exhaustion hit Chen Wen’s heart.

He groaned, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

So painful!

So tired!

Beside him, the staff at the reserve noticed Chen Wen’s abnormality and quickly inquired about his condition.

But Chen Wen waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

The staff watched a bit longer, and seeing Chen Wen indeed returning to normal, they sighed in relief.

Wow, does it really consume that much energy?

Chen Wen couldn’t help but think.

However, he did genuinely feel the effect—communicating with nature, communicating with the surroundings.

Immersing himself in the environment, everything around became Chen Wen’s eyes and ears!

This ability is pretty incredible!

Though the side effects are really severe!

At least up to now, Chen Wen still felt like his head was about to explode.

No matter what, Chen Wen really liked this batch of abilities!

...

After reviewing the new abilities, Chen Wen looked at his panel again.

Now, his panel could be described as practically perfect.

Layered abilities!

Looking at his panel, Chen Wen chuckled.

The upcoming survival is likely to unlock an easier mode for himself!

...

After the system upgrade, having successfully advanced to Advanced Druid, Chen Wen followed the truck for a full three days and nights.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, they finally arrived at the destination—an animal emergency rescue center set up in a reserve.

The experts and veterinarians who had been waiting there received the animals and swiftly began evaluations.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen was taken to a separate room.

He took a bath there, scrubbing off the traces of a hundred days of survival, cutting his long hair to a neat short style.

Additionally, he shaved his beard to appear more refreshed.

Once tidied up, Chen Wen left the room.

Guided by the staff, Chen Wen followed them into a room.

There, he met one of the leaders who had previously visited him.

The person smiled at Chen Wen and handed over some documents for him to review, then sign.

Chen Wen saw that these were documents related to animal adoption.

Additionally, there were confirmations of certain qualifications.

After expressing his thanks, he took the documents to the room prepared for him.
