Wilderness Survival with Druid System

After returning to the camp.

Chen Wen picked up the spear and went to search for suitable moss to use as padding, while Hua Yun took the dagger and started cutting the roe deer skin.

As for why they wouldn’t use bear skin, it’s because bear fur is coarser.

Moreover, bear skin is more expensive!

You don’t even need to exchange it with Arseny’s group of hunters; after the survival phase ends, bringing it back home is already quite valuable.

Under their coordinated efforts, their efficiency was surprisingly high.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Wen returned to the camp with a thick layer of moss.

Hua Yun also cut the roe deer skin into shapes somewhat similar to shoes.

Chen Wen took the moss and placed the soft side down, adhering it to the inside of the roe deer skin.

He first tried with his hand and felt it was okay.

Then, he had Hua Yun take out a rope, and together they tied the roe deer skin and moss onto the shoes.

Once both shoes were tied up, Chen Wen put them on and walked by the lakeside to experience it.

”How is it?”

Hua Yun asked with some anticipation: ”How does it feel?”

Chen Wen frowned and said, ”Not too good, it’s like stepping into wet sticky clay with shoes, my feet feel quite heavy.”

”However, if you get used to it, it’s actually quite alright; walking isn’t too uncomfortable either, it’s quite decent.”

Upon hearing this.

Hua Yun was speechless, she couldn’t help but say, ”I think we can overcome this. The main thing is to see how well it silences.”

Chen Wen nodded, ”Alright, wait here for a bit, I’ll go try it out in the woods and see how effective it is.”

After saying that, Chen Wen quickly walked towards the woods.

On the way, he was also adapting to this strange walking sensation.

Just as Hua Yun had said, after walking a certain distance, the feeling could basically be adapted to.

Reaching the forest, Chen Wen began to walk at a normal pace through the trees.

After a few steps, a look of joy appeared on Chen Wen’s face: ”It works! This thing really can suppress footstep sounds!”

”And as long as you don’t step on dry branches, it almost doesn’t make any noise!”

Following behind him, Hua Yun heard this and a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.

She felt it too.

This thing truly reduces footstep sounds.

With Chen Wen’s experiment, the two hurried back to camp to attach a layer of soundproof roe deer skin and moss to Hua Yun’s shoes as well.

In less than half an hour.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun had new shoes.

”Let’s go, search for the moose!”

With new equipment, Chen Wen was quite excited.

He couldn’t wait to verify the effect of the shoes, if they prove effective, then the survival ahead could even involve silent hunting!

Those animals with keen hearing, like moose, their pride in sense of hearing will be completely negated.

The key is that this method is simple and effective, others can also easily use it.

Their entire team’s stealth in hunting would greatly improve.

Hua Yun picked up the bow and arrow, without saying much, directly entered the woods.

She had found the moose trail yesterday, and since it was not early, the two sped up, planning to find traces of the moose before lunch.

Ideally, they would hunt the moose before the afternoon!

...

While Chen Wen and Hua Yun excitedly searched for moose.

Arseny’s group, intending to find the lost Northeast Tiger in the forest, felt somewhat desperate.

They had lost track of how many days had passed, but they had seen shadows of the Northeast tiger, yet hadn’t caught it.

Everyone sat together, eating lunch rather listlessly.

Seeing the low morale, Arseny knew this couldn’t continue.

He proactively said: ”Don’t be so downcast, we haven’t completely lost our chance, that Siberian tiger is around us, I’ve seen more than one pile of its feces these days!”

Upon hearing this, the group barely managed to muster some energy but remained disheartened.

Arseny had no choice but to continue encouraging them.

However, after Arseny finished speaking, Boris proactively said: ”That previous trap could’ve caught the Siberian tiger, but my impatience let it go, my fault. After this task, I’ll reduce my share and let everyone else have it.”

Hearing this, Arseny glanced at his old partner and understood what he meant.

Arseny continued: ”No need to cut your share, I already have a lot, reduce mine. If we catch this Siberian tiger, I’ll let half of my share go, and if we don’t catch it, I’ll cover everyone’s losses these days!”

After speaking, Arseny’s heart bled.

But he gritted his teeth and persisted, otherwise, the team would fall apart.

With the monetary incentive, the morale of the team improved somewhat.

In the team, the member who had set the trap last time appeared slightly relieved.

He continued: ”I can set up another trap. Last time, it was attracted by the suspended chunk of meat, so this time it should work again!”

Upon hearing this, others started to share their opinions.

Their discussion on the upcoming actions brought the atmosphere back to normal.

But at that moment, a team member who had been out exploring returned.

He looked somewhat uneasy.

Arseny, perceptively noticing this, nudged Boris, who was momentarily stunned, but their understanding allowed him to grasp Arseny’s idea.

Boris stood up, casually intercepted the team member, and pulled him aside.

The two exchanged a few words discreetly.

Meanwhile, the others noticed the interaction.

Soon, Boris returned, furrowing his brow.

He approached Arseny without any concealment: ”It’s news from our employer.”

Employer?

Arseny hissed: ”Urging us?”

”Not exactly.”

Boris said helplessly: ”They somehow contacted two known hunter guide teams, now asking us to share the data we’ve gathered.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned sour.

Their data had been painstakingly gathered, handing it over...

”We can’t give it!”

”Yeah, we worked hard to find this!”

”Damn it, they don’t trust us and want to snatch our bounty!”

...

For a while, the team was rather agitated.

Arseny hesitated for a moment, then said: ”Forget it, let’s just give it. This employer isn’t easy to deal with, even if we don’t give it, they’ll find a way to get it, better to hand it over and leave a positive impression.”

Upon hearing this, although everyone was furious, they understood that Arseny’s words were right.

”Boss, I’ve made a new discovery!”

At that moment, the young team member holding the drone controls suddenly said.

The group, hearing this, perked up and looked over.

The young man looked at the screen and said: ”I seem to have spotted a partly eaten wild boar, let me enlarge it for a closer look.”

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried to the young man’s side.

Soon, the camera focused.

On the ground, a wild boar reduced to bones and some remnants lay quietly.

”Which direction is this?”

Unable to restrain himself, Arseny asked.

The young man glanced at the position and quickly replied: ”South, in the forest near the lake.”

Having had enough to eat, hearing this, they quickly roused themselves.

Arseny raised his hand: ”Let’s go, check out what’s happening!”
