Wilderness Survival with Druid System

"Bang!"

The silent night was shattered by a dull gunshot!

Bald Hunter looked at his teammate with some surprise, but at this moment, he couldn’t care about that.

If it’s really that brown bear, this shot definitely won’t kill it!

They’re using shotguns; only at close range can a single shot be fatal.

And the distance just now wasn’t close, and more importantly, whether it hit or not is still uncertain.

Bald Hunter took out his weapon—a long spear.

He knew very well that this brown bear was not only irritable but also extremely cunning.

The last time they came to hunt this brown bear, the bear had quickly escaped after being injured by his spear.

Just as Bald Hunter was planning to prevent the bear from making a desperate counterattack or continuing to attack.

A series of heavy and hurried footsteps sounded.

The thing in the dark ran off into the distance.

"Something’s wrong, it doesn’t seem like that guy."

Bald Hunter listened to the footsteps, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes: "It’s fast, and the step frequency is quick too; that brown bear doesn’t have such speed!"

Upon hearing this, Bearded Hunter, now relaxed, was also stunned for a moment.

He frowned and said, "It indeed doesn’t seem like it. What’s coming to our camp?"

Bald Hunter packed up his belongings, saying, "We’ll know after we check it out. I smell blood; it’s injured. Let’s check the blood trail first."

With that, he picked up a flashlight and headed in the direction of the noise.

Under the flashlight’s illumination, Bald Hunter saw the blood trail clearly: "Hmm, might have injured the organs, or it could be just a lot of flesh wounds, not certain. Dare to chase?"

Bearded Hunter wiped a bit of blood with his hand, gently rubbing it.

He nodded and said, "We can give it a try!"

The young man’s face stiffened upon hearing this.

So late at night, leaving the camp for a completely unknown prey?

Is this right?

But seeing the two already packed up and ready, the young man dared not stay alone in the camp.

He grabbed his weapon—a short knife—and followed them.

But such a short knife is hardly useful in the forest. The two hunters glanced at the young man but said nothing more.

Anyway, with them around, the young man wouldn’t get hurt.

...

Over at Chen Wen’s camp.

A gunshot also made them alert.

"What’s happening!"

Chen Wen hurriedly crawled out of the sleeping bag, pulling out the long spear placed beside him.

Roland, who was night-watching and saw Chen Wen awake, quickly said, "I’m not sure, it sounds like an explosion, very dull. Fred said it sounds a bit like a gunshot."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen became even more cautious.

He also felt it was somewhat like a gunshot.

At this moment, Fred came over with his weapon, speaking seriously: "It should be a gunshot—a hunting gun, an old-style double-barreled shotgun. The hunters around here like using these shotguns for hunting."

Chen Wen thought for a moment, quickly calming down and saying, "Don’t panic. Since it’s a shotgun commonly used by hunters, it means hunters are nearby hunting. Let’s get the fire roaring brightly."

Upon hearing this, Gaston, who had also been startled awake, hurriedly started carrying wood with Adam, placing it into the dimming campfire.

Adam picked up a piece of bark, gently fanning the fire, making it blaze brighter again.

"Don’t move around, and don’t head to dark areas. Let’s stick near the campfire," Chen Wen reminded as he saw Fred and Roland looking a bit panicked: "As long as they’re not our enemies, once they see us here, they won’t fire at us."

Everyone nodded, finally relaxing a bit.

Chen Wen continued: "Hua Yun, get into position, don’t move, follow my command."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun, now fully awake, assumed a serious expression.

She understood Chen Wen’s meaning.

If the other party came with ill intent, Hua Yun would fire the first retaliatory shot!

Hua Yun quietly left the camp, found a highly concealed spot, and hid.

Her naturally smaller physique compared to men allowed her to hide well.

After Chen Wen arranged his people, he immediately gathered the animals.

Three birds quickly flew into the sky, while Wolf Mink was placed by Chen Wen near the food supply—protecting the food.

Considering if Wolf Mink ran around wildly, and mistakenly got shot as prey, Chen Wen would have no recourse.

Once the three birds scattered.

Chen Wen activated the "Shared Vision," starting frequent vision swaps to survey the surroundings.

Though it placed a heavy burden on his mind.

Not long after, Chen Wen detected something amiss.

In the distance, three light sources were continually moving closer.

And nearby, through the Snowy Owl’s Night Vision Ability, Chen Wen spotted a frantically running wild boar.

Ahead of the boar, there were two desperate, running Wolf Minks.

Seeing this scene, Chen Wen was momentarily stunned.

What’s going on?

Why are these two Wolf Minks being chased by a wild boar?

No time to ponder.

If this raging wild boar charged into the camp and wasn’t handled well, his group could suffer considerable harm.

So it must be stopped!

As Chen Wen’s vision returned to himself, he noticed the wild boar, chasing the Wolf Minks, had reached near the camp.

"Be careful, there are two Wolf Minks and one wild boar,"

Chen Wen warned everyone, "Hard to tell with the Wolf Minks, but the wild boar seems injured, its run looks unusual."

He pointed out the locations of the boar and Wolf Minks.

The others, hearing this, looked and indeed saw the Wolf Minks and the boar.

Fred and Roland grabbed their axes, holding the long handles, eyeing the two Wolf Minks.

Chen Wen, however, took out his long spear, calmly eyeing the boar.

It seemed to him these Wolf Minks and boar were the prey of the distant hunters, but they likely due to poor skill or unexpected events, their hunting failed.

However, two Wolf Minks together was quite rare.

As Chen Wen pondered, the three beasts had reached his attack range.

Ignoring the two Wolf Minks.

Chen Wen raised his spear, taking a deep breath.

The next second, he vigorously hurled the spear, precisely aiming at the trajectory of the boar.

As the spear tore through the air, emitting a sharp cutting sound.

The spear in the night seemed like a missile, accurately intercepting in front of the boar.

The boar never expected an ambush right ahead of it!

It only felt as though its skin was hit by something, then its muscles, and the insides being damaged and torn by that thing.

Only now did the boar feel excruciating pain.

It let out a mournful howl, its body tripped and fell, then, under inertia, began to roll.

The two Wolf Minks ahead were bewildered.

They didn’t understand why, when they planned to ambush the camp, a boar came near.

Moreover, the boar was crazily chasing them.

For survival, the two Wolf Minks could only run desperately.

But now, the boar was dead.

They were a bit unsure what the situation was.

Run away?

Or go for the ambush?

While the two Wolf Minks were confused, Roland and Fred approached them wielding axes.

The two Wolf Minks saw humans, instinctively issuing intimidating sounds, trying to repel Roland and Fred.

But before they could react.

Unafraid, Fred lifted his axe, smashing the bigger Wolf Mink with the handle, nearly killing it.

The other Wolf Mink hadn’t reacted yet.

Roland swung an axe down, and this Wolf Mink joined its companion in death.
