Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The brown bear unleashed its fury, leaving Chen Wen with almost no time to react.

It made no feints, not even a hint of hesitation, and launched a direct attack at Chen Wen.

Quick! Vicious!

If it were an average person facing such an assault, they might easily fall prey to it.

After all, before attacking humans, a brown bear often disguises and tests its target. Such a direct attack is truly rare!

But Chen Wen was no ordinary person.

At almost the same moment that the brown bear lunged, Chen Wen instantly made his decision—run!

The brown bear lunged towards Chen Wen, and Chen Wen turned and fled.

The brown bear’s first lunge ended in failure.

It let out an unwilling roar and immediately started chasing Chen Wen.

The prize for this chase was Chen Wen’s life!

Heavy footsteps resounded behind him, and the pressure slowly climbed into Chen Wen’s heart.

Even knowing he could transform at any moment to escape the bear’s pursuit, he still felt a tinge of fear.

How could one not be afraid!

A brown bear, one of the most powerful land carnivores, possibly weighing five hundred kilograms!

This was a beast likely weighing over half a ton!

At the same time, this colossal beast could run up to 50 kilometers per hour in the short range!

Faster than Bolt’s world record!

Although confident that his enhanced speed could surpass Bolt, Chen Wen was not sure he could entirely shake off this brown bear.

Thump thump...

The footsteps drew closer, and Chen Wen’s heart clenched.

Almost catching up!

Damn, this bear looks chubby, but who knew it could be so fast!

If this continues, he’s likely to be caught before reaching Hua Yun and the others.

No, he needed to shake it off a bit.

Looking at the winding animal trail ahead, Chen Wen decided not to race the brown bear on the animal trail.

He made a sharp turn!

Using the forest’s complex terrain, this decisive turn successfully left the brown bear behind.

The brown bear roared angrily, seemingly furious at being toyed with by this insignificant ant in front of it.

Despite its quick turn, its massive size caused slight imbalance during such a sharp maneuver.

Its speed dropped significantly.

The brown bear staggered and stumbled towards Chen Wen.

Its speed was no longer as fast as before.

In front, Chen Wen noticed this and felt a bit more relaxed: ”Goodness, it turns out to be just a three-pronged attack. I thought its speed could maintain in this rank for a long time, but who knew it was only for ten to twenty seconds.”

Thinking about this, Chen Wen slowed down a bit.

No other reason, Chen Wen feared losing this fellow.

The previous subspecies Chen Wen encountered were brown bear variants, but this was his first time encountering a true brown bear, an Eurasian brown bear.

And among the previous subspecies, whether it be grizzly bears or Tibetan Horse Bears, their endurance was rather good.

Thus, Chen Wen somewhat misjudged this brown bear, overestimating its strength.

”I am slowly figuring you out.”

Chen Wen muttered quietly and glanced at the brown bear.

The brown bear differed from previous bear types he had encountered. Due to its size, its movements were slower.

Yet its power was significantly greater than the bears he had encountered before!

Moreover, it possessed fighting prowess. Chen Wen noticed that some trees, as thick as a person’s wrist, were no obstacle for this brown bear. It crashed into them without any defense, its massive body bending the trees down with an audible crack.

Such powerful strength and defense!

Chen Wen contemplated this and made another turn, leading the brown bear toward where Hua Yun and the others were lying in ambush.

Calculating the time, Hua Yun and the team should be in position.

”Let’s hope nothing goes wrong. If this fellow goes berserk, no one can stop it.”

Chen Wen spoke as he swiftly guided the brown bear toward the area where Hua Yun and the others were.

...

At that moment, under the Golden Eagle’s guidance, the group had reached the new ambush site early.

Fred looked around and was the first to discover the scraped Yunshan Tree.

Fred was also familiar with brown bear habits.

He approached the scraped spot and compared it with his height.

Soon, Fred’s expression became serious: ”This brown bear might be larger than we imagined! Standing upright, its height may be around two-point-two or even two-point-three meters!”

Gaston walked over and compared the height as well.

He nodded: ”Quite accurate. When I encountered that brown bear yesterday, I did notice its size was huge, but the distance was great, so I just made a simple assessment which might not have been precise.”

Adam casually asked, ”Does being larger than we thought pose any problem?”

Roland, observing the Yunshan Tree nearby, said, ”Being big means thick skin, skin with better resilience, which makes weapons harder to penetrate, and being large with more flesh, its internal organs are harder to hurt.”

Listening to Roland, Hua Yun nodded in agreement: ”Previously, when cooperating with Chen Wen for survival, I encountered similar situations. Some animals are large in size, rendering bows and arrows ineffective.”

”Which means that in hunting this brown bear, we need Chen Wen to precisely hit it, or else if the bear is provoked by its wounds, we should flee as far as possible, staying nearby will just trouble Chen Wen.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

That made sense.

At this moment, the Golden Eagle seemed to have spotted something from above and let out a hurried call.

Hua Yun paused, having spent enough time with the Golden Eagle to roughly understand its intent.

”Ambush! Chen Wen should be leading the brown bear here soon!”

Hua Yun quickly spoke, reminding everyone to get in position.

Upon hearing this, everyone sprang into action.

...

A few minutes later.

Amidst the group’s eager anticipation, a series of hurried footsteps gradually grew louder from afar.

Fred and Roland were crouched along the animal trail, both gripping axes tightly, adrenalines kicking in.

Soon, accompanied by Chen Wen’s form appearing at the end of the path.

That brown bear also came into view for the two.

So big!

Fred couldn’t help but marvel silently; even with mental preparation, this bear surpassed his estimation.

Its enormity was a bit absurd!

”When do we strike?”

Roland asked in a low voice.

He felt his adrenaline surging.

Fred, hearing the question, calmly replied, ”Wait for Chen Wen’s signal. If he doesn’t weaken the bear’s strength, it is pointless for us to act.”

It was sound reasoning.

Roland nodded, suppressing the agitation within.

Right then, Chen Wen, through the Golden Eagle, realized that everyone was already in ambush here.

He took a deep breath, gripped the spear tightly.

Need to find an opportunity to thrust this spear!

Only by hitting with the spear would the brown bear’s combat strength be weakened, allowing others to take the chance to kill it!

Moreover, this spear must hit a vital spot!

Otherwise, if the spear just pierces flesh, the extreme pain would instead send the brown bear into a wild frenzy, creating a difficult situation.

With this thought, Chen Wen turned and looked at the brown bear’s position, roughly twenty meters away, approaching at a relatively balanced speed.

Chen Wen picked up the spear, hesitated not a bit in halting his steps.

While the brown bear hadn’t reacted yet, Chen Wen took the spear and fiercely hurled it at the bear.

It could hit!

Chen Wen thought, but then a surprising scene unfolded!
