Wilderness Survival with Druid System

On the second day, Chen Wen and his team mainly prepared for the upcoming long-distance hunting, while also completing the construction of the sixth shelter.

It must be said, when food is sufficient.

Once the six of them devoted themselves fully to shelter construction, their efficiency skyrocketed.

Two people collected materials, two processed materials, and two built the shelter.

This highly efficient work method allowed them to build a shelter almost within a day.

An absurd level of efficiency.

The Russian Association even recorded their construction time and found that this group should be the fastest group of challengers since the Forest Extreme Challenge began.

Moreover, it’s also the first group to complete all the shelters for everyone.

Additionally, they should be the group with the most abundant and numerous food supply in Forest Extreme Challenge history.

In short, the Russian Association has realized this team is setting multiple records for the Forest Extreme Challenge.

It’s very remarkable!

In Chen Wen’s camp.

On the afternoon of the eleventh day, when the roof of the sixth shelter was sealed and smoke started to rise from the chimney.

All their shelters were completed!

Looking at the six shelters arranged in a shape similar to an oval, everyone’s hearts were filled with satisfaction and pride.

Eleven days to build six such sturdy and warm shelters.

For them, it’s a very proud achievement.

Especially Gaston, who reached out to touch his shelter, his eyes showing a hint of sentimentality.

I, Gaston!

Didn’t get in here just by luck!

I have both capability... and vision!

Otherwise, how could I join this exceptional team?

Gaston thought, glancing at Roland and Chen Wen who were still pointing and discussing the shelters.

These two can be said to be the soul of the shelter construction, with Chen Wen as the main soul and Roland as the sub-soul.

At this moment they were discussing whether to add more things to the shelters.

Chen Wen was still obsessed with beds; he really didn’t want to sleep on the ground anymore.

However, this task requires a lot of time and materials, which Roland felt wasn’t worthwhile.

Roland was thinking of building storage items inside the shelters, like wooden racks, or using clay mixtures and stones to make racks.

This could hold more food, and by dividing the food separately, it could improve fault tolerance.

Otherwise, with the current situation, if an animal breaks into the wooden storage room.

Their food might be entirely stolen or contaminated by the animal.

Roland was referring to the Wolf Mink.

In recent days, Wolf Mink have been appearing around the camp.

It must be said, these thick-skinned, tough, domineering, and robbing bully-type animals have a very strong breeding capacity in this forest.

Wolf Mink in the forests around Lake Baikal have already begun to show a similar trend of proliferation as around Great Slave Lake.

However, Chen Wen has currently recruited two Wolf Mink.

They marked the camp as their territory through urination around the area, reducing the approach of some Wolf Mink.

While effective, it couldn’t stop wandering male Wolf Mink.

These creatures didn’t care whose territory it was; they charged into Chen Wen’s camp and eyeing the food fiercely.

Wolf Mink King Kong also tried to drive them away.

But each time returned embarrassed due to facing a crowd of Minks.

”For the Wolf Mink problem, I plan to see if I can solve it tonight.”

After pondering for a while, Chen Wen said, ”I did overlook these little bullies before, but tonight I can deal with them.”

”How do you plan to solve it?”

Roland couldn’t help but ask.

The conflict between the Survivors and Wolf Mink is actually very hard to solve.

It’s not about being unable to beat or fear injury.

Wolf Mink can often rely on their thick skin and muscles to boldly rob from some other beasts.

But when faced with humans or human weapons, they actually don’t dare to approach directly.

They use agile movements and small bodies to constantly harass humans, making them highly annoyed, then seize the chance to steal food.

The only way to resolve Wolf Mink outside of killing with ranged weapons is by using traps.

Because wanting to kill a Wolf Mink in close combat is quite difficult.

Wolf Mink can avoid human close-range attacks, and before humans get near them, they can detect humans and avoid in advance.

So Roland was somewhat skeptical of Chen Wen’s solution.

However, Chen Wen didn’t explain but mysteriously said, ”You’ll know tonight.”

...

Taking advantage of the remaining daylight, Chen Wen led the team in preparing the materials needed for tomorrow’s long-distance hunting.

There’s quite a lot of materials needed for hunting.

Chen Wen took out two sleds made by Adam and began to store materials on them.

Sleeping bags are definitely necessary.

In the absence of shelters, sleeping bags are perfect items to keep warm at night.

Besides the sleeping bags, Chen Wen also brought enough food.

For food, he didn’t bring hard-to-process staples, instead he brought smoked bear meat and smoked wild boar meat made before.

Simultaneously, Chen Wen also brought two cans of fruit.

The canned fruits are edible and make excellent cooking utensils.

For this trip, their kitchenware would be cans, while enamel bowls were left in the camp by Chen Wen.

Besides these items, Chen Wen, after careful consideration, also brought some seasonings to process hunted game.

Additionally, he took some miscellaneous items which he put in the backpack.

Of course, there were also weapons.

Hua Yun had already placed the bow and arrows beside the shelter’s pillow.

It’s clear that she is really excited for tomorrow’s hunt.

But before starting tomorrow’s hunt, the camp’s Wolf Mink needs to be handled first.

Chen Wen called Hua Yun and Roland to bring their bows and arrows, also asked them to tie noticeable cloth strips on one end of the arrows—cloth strips were part of the materials brought by Arseny.

To prevent cans from colliding with each other, Arseny and his team padded some cloth inside for cushioning.

After Hua Yun and Roland, albeit confused, finished what Chen Wen asked, dinner began.

After eating.

Chen Wen asked Hua Yun and Roland to take a nap to recharge their energy.

Around local time approaching midnight.

Chen Wen woke up Hua Yun and the others and spiritedly picked up the spear: ”Get ready, it’s time to handle the Wolf Mink!”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun and Roland were still confused.

Tackle now?

How tackle?

But as they were puzzled, Chen Wen whistled.

Snowy Owl silently came to the fire and stood in front of Chen Wen.

Chen Wen winked at Snowy Owl: Start according to the plan!

Snowy Owl hooted and flapped its wings again, disappearing into the camp.

Before the puzzled Hua Yun and Roland could speak, Chen Wen immediately said: ”Later, Snowy Owl and I will coordinate to report positions to you, you shoot to the spot I mention, that’s where the Wolf Mink are hiding.”

Hearing this, Hua Yun and Roland froze for a moment.

They didn’t expect Chen Wen’s method to be actively seeking out and hunting Wolf Mink at night.

”Will this method work?”

Roland was a little skeptical, doubting not just animals but even Chen Wen himself.

However, Chen Wen was very confident: ”Trust me, it’ll work!”
