Wilderness Survival with Druid System

After everyone dispersed, Chen Wen called Snowy Owl over to his side.

Snowy Owl was immediately excited.

But what awaited it was a ”knock on the head” from Chen Wen.

Chen Wen reminded Snowy Owl, ”Your most important task right now is to rest and change your biological clock.”

Upon hearing this, Snowy Owl’s face immediately fell, although outsiders couldn’t really tell, since Snowy Owl always had that innocent and cute look.

However, Chen Wen could clearly feel Snowy Owl’s emotions.

He hurriedly explained with a smile, ”Letting you rest isn’t because I don’t want your help; I thought you weren’t really fond of moving with humans and you’ve always been active at night. So, change your biological clock because in the next hundred days, we might need your assistance for night watches every evening.”

Upon hearing this, Snowy Owl immediately nodded.

Night watching is an important task too!

Snowy Owl immediately realized what a significant responsibility Chen Wen had given it.

Feeling warm inside, Snowy Owl quickly found a secluded place to rest.

Looking at Snowy Owl, Chen Wen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Innate Bull and Horse Saint Body!

No need for the boss to give motivational words, it’s like being self-hypnotized into confusion.

Oh well, never mind.

Chen Wen has always respected the animals’ wishes.

At this time, Chen Wen turned his gaze to Eagle and Wolf Mink.

Eagle was okay; its personality was somewhat similar to Golden Eagle and was pondering what task Chen Wen would assign to it.

But Wolf Mink was different.

Seeing Wolf Mink’s pitiable expression, Chen Wen couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

This guy, could it be hungry?

Sure enough, after noticing Chen Wen’s gaze, Wolf Mink quickly asked, ”When is meal time? I’m so hungry my chest is touching my back!”

Chen Wen was speechless.

Look at you with all that meat, saying your chest is touching your back, doesn’t your conscience hurt?

Grumbling inside.

But Chen Wen assigned the two animals a task: ”Your task is very simple.”

Hearing this, Eagle immediately perked up, while Wolf Mink was still looking pitiful.

It couldn’t help but say, ”Still have to work? Back home, we had three meals a day plus a snack, coming here, even if there’s no snack, we should at least have three meals, right?”

Chen Wen was helpless: ”We just got here, no food yet, but the work I want you to do is related to food, stop complaining, what family’s Wolf Mink eats like you, four meals a day, and it only lasts for a day?”

After admonishing Wolf Mink, Chen Wen quickly said, ”You’ve been together for a long time, and are good at cooperative hunting. I plan to have you both go hunt!”

”After catching food, you can fill your bellies directly, but bring some back for Snowy Owl and Golden Eagle, got it?”

Hearing this, Wolf Mink and Eagle immediately got excited.

But just as they were about to take action, Chen Wen stopped them, saying, ”For hunting, start by going to faraway places. Wolf Mink, let Eagle carry you and fly.”

Eagle’s strength has been enhanced by [Giant Strength], so lifting Wolf Mink wasn’t hard.

Wolf Mink nodded with some understanding, ”Got it, when the heavy snow comes, we’ll eat the nearby animals, right?”

Chen Wen nodded, ”That’s right, and remember not to eat too much, leave some for Snowy Owl and Golden Eagle, understood?”

Wolf Mink was just about to speak when Eagle interrupted, ”Don’t worry, I’ll personally keep an eye on this guy.”

Unlike Wolf Mink, Eagle had a steady nature.

Hearing Eagle say this, Chen Wen was assured, ”Alright, you two can go now.”

The animals left the camp.

Now, the entire camp felt a bit empty, Chen Wen took a deep breath and looked at Gaston, who was cleaning the camp.

It’s time for him to take action too!

...

Chen Wen didn’t immediately start clearing the surrounding debris.

He set his sights on the collapsed wooden hut.

The wooden hut could provide a considerable amount of firewood. Chen Wen also felt there might be some nails, or even building materials inside.

At the same time, Chen Wen thought that even if a move had happened, there should still be some leftover items in the wooden hut.

This was Chen Wen’s experience.

He had moved houses in his previous life, and many times, items were left behind because they were difficult to carry or seemed useless and were thrown away in the old room or discarded as junk.

This place definitely wouldn’t have any waste disposal stations, so the likelihood of them being left in the hut was high.

Chen Wen felt he could give it a try and look for those abandoned supplies.

If he found something useful, that would be a great gain!

With this thought in mind, Chen Wen began to search.

He first moved the collapsed wood to the side of the wooden hut. He carefully inspected each piece of wood, but unfortunately, perhaps because these woods were from the roof, they didn’t have any nails or metal connectors.

However, Chen Wen did make an unexpected discovery.

In one of the roof woods, Chen Wen found something like a beetle larva’s defecation hole.

He took out an axe and chopped open the wood, soon enough, he unearthed a wriggling beetle larva.

”Wow, this one’s quite plump.”

Chen Wen couldn’t help but say, then put the beetle larva into his pocket.

Zipping up the pocket, Chen Wen continued searching through the wood.

After a few minutes.

Chen Wen’s eyes lit up, he found something!

Most of the roof wood was cleared, leaving only the wall planks.

Just as Chen Wen thought, the wall planks were fastened with nails by the lumberjack.

Chen Wen used the axe to knock down the nails, a smile flickered across his face.

At this time, Gaston came over and, seeing the nails, showed an enlightened expression: ”Good thing you’re here, these nails can be really useful! For making small traps, they can be used as kill mechanisms, or we can craft them into fishing hooks. Ice fishing at Lake Baikal should be pretty thrilling!”

Hearing this, Chen Wen smiled and said, ”Then it’s up to you. I remember last time you fished, you were quite impressive, many online called you the Fish King.”

Gaston chuckled, ”Just luck that time, but I can give it another shot, hand that nail over to me, I’ll find time to forge it into a hook!”

Chen Wen nodded and handed the nails to Gaston.

Then, he continued removing the planks, taking down more nails.

After tidying up the planks, Chen Wen was already sweating. Just then, Adam returned with tinder and brought back some unexpected finds: ”Bird eggs, I just found them searching nests, but they don’t look very fresh.”

Gaston took the bird eggs from Adam, glanced briefly, and then disdainfully placed them on the ground: ”Indeed, they’re definitely not fresh, they’re rotten eggs!”

Chen Wen glanced at the rotten eggs, wondering if they could be put to use in any way.

But as Chen Wen pondered on this, Roland and Fred returned with water.

They used two pots for fetching water.

Both pots were full of water.

Seeing this, Chen Wen hurriedly instructed Adam to start a fire while Gaston was to set up a stove and get the water boiling.

Not drinking raw water was a habit of Chen Wen’s.

Adam was well aware of Chen Wen’s habit, so he quickly started making a fire.

Using a bird’s nest.

Adam scraped a knife across a fire starter stick, sending sparks onto the bird’s nest.

Soon, the bird’s nest caught fire, and Adam quickly placed it under the firewood.

The fire pit began to blaze, gradually comforting everyone’s hearts.

Fire.

It always brings a sense of comfort to people.
