Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The Golden Eagle returned and relayed the situation it saw to Chen Wen, and Chen Wen matched it with what he had observed.

There were no discrepancies.

Therefore, Chen Wen began to refine his observations and shared them with Hua Yun.

The two sat by the campfire and started discussing the upcoming strategy.

According to Chen Wen’s thinking, resolving the issue of the brown bear was the most urgent matter.

With it around, he and Hua Yun would not dare to venture into the forest alone.

Actually, Chen Wen was fine; he had battled even bigger brown bears, and this young brown bear was no match for him. However, Hua Yun was different; it would be very difficult for her to retreat unscathed if the brown bear attacked.

But Hua Yun had a different opinion.

She said, ”If we actively seek out the brown bear, it’s actually very hard to hunt it down. Its perception ability is much stronger than ours, especially in the forest where our eyesight isn’t useful. It’s essentially using our weaknesses to attack the bear’s strengths.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen asked, ”What are you thinking?”

Hua Yun smiled and said, ”Do you remember how we hunted grizzly bears when we were surviving in the Yukon?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen was momentarily stunned.

He recalled the situation in the Yukon, where they had to address the threat posed by grizzly bears around the camp.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun decided to hunt the grizzly bears, setting traps like burning bones and meat to attract bears for ambush hunting.

Chen Wen’s eyes lit up: ”You mean, find a way to attract the brown bear, get it to come over, leave the forest, and then we hunt it?”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun nodded repeatedly: ”Exactly!”

”But we don’t have much bait on hand to attract the brown bear.”

Chen Wen expressed his concerns.

Hua Yun said, ”This is where our views differ. I’m thinking of hunting a Siberian Roe Deer first, using its blood and bones to lure the brown bear, thus achieving the goal of attracting and hunting the bear.”

”Then, after killing the brown bear, we can split into two teams, enter the forest for cooperative hunting, using the Golden Eagle as our liaison, to attempt hunting moose and more Siberian Roe Deer.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen supported his head with one hand, carefully contemplating Hua Yun’s plan.

It must be said that Hua Yun’s plan was quite good, but the only issue was that hunting the Siberian Roe Deer in the first step might require entering the forest.

”Let’s set up camp here and build a small hunting cabin.”

Chen Wen slowly spoke: ”Entering the forest now is still somewhat risky. I’m not at ease with you going in, as whether ambushed by the brown bear or facing it head-on, it would be hard for you to retreat unscathed.”

Hua Yun nodded slightly.

Actually, she felt that although Chen Wen could battle a brown bear, it would be hard for him to withstand a sneak attack.

So her original plan was for both of them to go into the forest together and ambush in the trees where Siberian Roe Deer were active to hunt them.

But a hunting cabin...

Hua Yun asked somewhat perplexed: ”What is a hunting cabin?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen patted his head: ”I saw it in a game before, it’s essentially using wood and leaves to make a dome-like cabin similar to the Baka people, but with a hunting window left open...”

With Chen Wen’s explanation, Hua Yun understood his meaning.

Simply put, it’s a disguised tent used for hunting.

By using surrounding trees to construct a simple shelter that can conceal their bodies without affecting the hunt.

When the prey approaches, this shelter can hide their figures, making the prey think it’s safe here.

Once the prey gets close, the two shoot through the hunting window, killing the prey to complete the hunt.

Hua Yun had experienced this hunting method.

Before, when she went hunting in Africa with some friends who liked hunting, they used disguise tents.

The effect was very good.

Paired with some scent-eliminating sprays, they could almost hide within the prey’s group, even from meters away without getting detected.

Hua Yun asked: ”Do you have experience building such shelters?”

Chen Wen shook his head; he actually didn’t have any.

But he didn’t feel it was very difficult.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun felt a bit hesitant.

Because you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Chen Wen lacks experience in this; if this plan fails, they will miss an opportunity to hunt in vain.

This is somewhat inappropriate.

So Hua Yun said: ”Why don’t I hide in the hunting cabin, and you find a tree to ambush from? We wait for the Siberian Roe Deer to come for water and then strike together, maximizing our hunting goal. If we hide together, chances are if the shelter isn’t effective, we’ll suffer a big loss.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen nodded slightly: ”Alright, let’s go with your suggestion, since I’ve only seen this plan in a game before and I’m not sure if it works in reality.”

After the agreement, Hua Yun curiously asked: ”Do you have time to play games on a regular basis?”

Chen Wen chuckled: ”I have free time too, don’t I? I don’t have much entertainment over there, so I just play games.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun looked at Chen Wen with a puzzled expression.

No entertainment?

That’s odd, with so many cities in the country, doesn’t Chen Wen have anything to do?

She didn’t know that Chen Wen had already bought a small island and settled there.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen smiled but didn’t elaborate.

However, he thought about whether to invite friends like Hua Yun who are familiar to the island to have some fun.

The scenery over there is actually quite nice.

A tropical island, besides lacking many entertainment facilities, its natural scenery beats many tourist spots.

The main point is the surrounding waters are abundant with seafood.

Previously, when the Saltwater Crocodile explored around the island, it told Chen Wen about a large coral reef on the eastern side of the island.

He took a speedboat out to see, and indeed it was quite large with rich fish resources.

But Chen Wen alone, he didn’t want to exert effort for the seafood.

However, if there were friends, he’d be willing to exert the effort together, as then he wouldn’t worry about the effort.

After daydreaming for a while.

Chen Wen shook his head: those things can be dealt with later.

He raised his head and said: ”Alright, then it’s settled. We’ll have two plans; I’ll keep watch from the tree, and you keep watch from the hunting cabin. When the group of Siberian Roe Deer comes for water, we’ll strike simultaneously. Let’s see how many we can hunt. How does that sound?”

Hua Yun nodded.

With Chen Wen backing it up, she could proceed boldly.

With Chen Wen there, at least one Siberian Roe Deer would be caught, so there would be bait available for luring the brown bear.

The two also discussed some detailed issues, and after finalizing the overall plan, they began building the hunting cabin.

Building the hunting cabin was mainly Chen Wen’s task.

He cut down a few trees and used the trunks as the main beams, inserting them into the ground. He also used more flexible slender branches as the cabin walls to start weaving the cabin.

Before long, the structure resembled the dome-like Baka people’s cabin seen before on the tropical island.

Looking at this cabin, both Chen Wen and Hua Yun felt a bit emotional.

Chen Wen recalled the bustling scenes of surviving with his brothers at the time, while Hua Yun felt a bit troubled.

However, she did meet two good friends then, with whom she still has contact now.

Then, Chen Wen used a large number of branches for disguise, thoroughly camouflaging the cabin.
