Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Plop-plop!

The wild boars scrambled to jump into the river, starting to cross, while Chen Wen stayed behind and did not follow.

The river water was really too cold for him.

Chen Wen held his spear, searching for his target, while beside him, the Golden Eagle was pinning the boar it had scratched to the ground, slowly pecking at its vital skin with its sharp beak.

The wild boar wanted to struggle, but its strength was not much different from that of the Golden Eagle, so it could only barely move its body.

Seeing this, Chen Wen stabbed the boar first, then turned his gaze to the two large boars in the river.

He was waiting for Hua Yun to act.

As soon as Hua Yun acted and shot one adult boar, he planned to immediately aim his spear at the other adult boar and kill it!

The river wasn’t wide. Even if the boars reached the other bank, they were still within Chen Wen’s attack range.

So he wasn’t in a hurry.

...

On the opposite bank, in the bushes.

Hua Yun slowly raised her bow and arrow, taking advantage of the time when the herd of wild boars were crossing the river, she was ready to act!

As the ancient military strategy says, attack when the enemy is halfway across.

This is because, in ancient times, soldiers would become disorganized when crossing rivers, making them vulnerable to attack and losing their combat effectiveness.

While these wild boars aren’t soldiers, they slow down when crossing the river and face Hua Yun, giving her a perfect shooting opportunity!

Hua Yun slowly aimed at an adult boar, drawing the bow.

Her hands were slightly trembling, but it was within her acceptable range. Soon, Hua Yun aimed at the boar’s chest.

Exhale~

Shoot!

It was a heart-penetrating shot aimed at the boar’s vulnerable heart!

Whoosh!

The arrow flew out, just as Hua Yun felt it would directly hit and possibly kill the boar.

In the river.

Ahead of the boar was a rather rugged section, and it was about to reach the shore, which sped up its pace.

As a result, it didn’t notice the stone ahead.

It missed its step and stumbled downwards.

Although the boar immediately struggled to stand, Hua Yun’s arrow had already left the string, reaching it as it struggled.

If the boar hadn’t stumbled, the arrow might have pierced its heart.

But there was no ”if.”

The arrow buried straight into the boar’s hind neck, deep through to the bone!

Oww-oww!

The boar screamed and got up, moving in pain to the shore.

Facing this sudden situation, Hua Yun, feeling anxious, stood up directly from the bushes, drew another arrow, and shot at the boar’s chest.

But the boar, having noticed Hua Yun, was provoked by the pain and fiercely lowered its head, trying to charge towards her, intending to teach her a harsh lesson.

This time Hua Yun missed again, failing to hit the vital spot, and instead hit the boar’s back.

It’s over!

Hua Yun’s face changed, realizing the problem.

Two missed attacks not only thoroughly provoked the boar’s ferocity but also left her unable to quickly kill the boar.

In trouble!

Behind her, witnessing the scene, Chen Wen unexpectedly frowned. He hadn’t expected Hua Yun to make a mistake.

Though he didn’t expect it, he understood.

After all, humans aren’t robots; mistakes happen. Only this time, the mistake was quite severe!

Enraged, the boar charged at Hua Yun, knowing the source of its pain was the two-legged creature in front of it. The furious boar charged straight at Hua Yun.

At this time, Hua Yun facing the charging boar, had no countermeasures.

Her strength, after all, was inferior to a man’s.

Facing the boar’s charge, she could only think of ways to evade.

But stepping out of the bushes meant she no longer had room to maneuver, and if she turned to run, her speed wouldn’t match that of the boar, being caught was just a matter of time.

Circling in the woods was impossible; this adult boar, while weighing over a hundred pounds, was more agile in the woods than Hua Yun.

She could only climb up a tree!

But scanning around, Hua Yun found the nearest tree was over ten meters away.

Couldn’t run, couldn’t fight, she could only face it!

All these thoughts flashed by in an instant.

Thinking it through, Hua Yun resolutely took out her dagger, adopting a fighting stance, facing the boar.

She didn’t know what the result would be; she might get injured, even drag the team down due to injury, or be abandoned by the team, or have to withdraw herself, but Hua Yun knew that now was not the time for those thoughts; she had to fight to the death!

As the boar got closer, Hua Yun’s heart beat faster, adrenaline surging.

Just as Hua Yun bent down, intending to give the boar a hard blow.

Something seemed to flash behind the boar.

Hua Yun froze for a second, and then witnessed a moment she would never forget!

A spear, like divine punishment, hurled from behind the boar.

The spear emitted a heavy whistle, like a curse from the gods, echoing beside the boar’s ears.

Hua Yun watched in shock as the spear shot into the boar from behind.

A bit off, but it pierced the boar’s rear-right side effortlessly like a knife slicing through tofu, penetrating the body, and finally the spearhead emerged from the boar’s chest.

Hua Yun’s veins bulged on her forehead, as she suddenly leaped aside.

As she leapt aside, the body of the adult boar almost brushed her heels as it rolled away.

”What the heck!”

As Hua Yun dodged, her heart nearly leaped out.

Just missed it!

She lifted her head, only to see Chen Wen on the other side of the river waving towards her, as if asking if she was okay.

Hua Yun sighed, feeling a mix of emotions.

Chen Wen’s timely spear had pulled her back from the edge of danger.

After all, in wilderness survival, injury often meant untreatable complications, leading to worsening conditions, and she was very likely to end her survival prematurely due to injury.

But Chen Wen’s action had truly saved Hua Yun.

Hua Yun gave Chen Wen an OK sign, then looked around at the wild boars.

The other boars had been thoroughly frightened, avoiding Hua Yun like water around rocks, fleeing into the woods from both sides of her.

Escaped from danger!

Hua Yun let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen was searching for a suitable place to cross the river, and soon, the two met on the opposite bank.

”Thanks, otherwise I might have been in big trouble this time.”

Hua Yun spoke, her eyes filled with emotion.

Chen Wen waved his hand: ”No big deal, are you hurt?”

”No.”

Hua Yun replied, though feeling a bit let down: ”But it still didn’t turn out as we planned.”

In their plan, this hunt was supposed to catch all the wild boars, but due to her mistake, they only managed to hunt three.

Moreover, those three were all hunted by Chen Wen and the Golden Eagle.

This made Hua Yun feel uncomfortable.

Chen Wen offered a comforting word: ”Three is more than enough, we don’t have to eradicate them all, right? It’s sufficient as it is. I even think we can head back now, since there’s barely enough room for our catch using the sled.”

Hearing this, Hua Yun couldn’t help but laugh: ”It does seem that way.”

They continued chatting while handling the aftermath.
