Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chen Wen said it was prudent, but he also understood.

Given the size of bobcats and coyotes, it's easy to injure him, but to incapacitate him or pose a life threat.

It's still a bit lacking.

Next time, he might bring a sapper shovel and directly seek out this creature; maybe it's also an entry.

After another glance at the valley, Chen Wen turned and left.

As for the yellow-headed goldfinch with its head bitten off, Chen Wen skinned and gutted it to take along.

No matter how small this thing is, it's still a mouthful of meat!

But most importantly, it's an entry.

As a small bird species, the yellow-headed goldfinch is agile in movement, and its nest is built quite delicately.

Many positive characteristics.

...

After securing the yellow-headed goldfinch, Chen Wen continued to explore ahead.

Nothing particularly thrilling happened next.

Chen Wen smoothly completed the exploration, essentially opening the map.

At the same time, he carried all the materials he collected along the way back to the camp.

Upon reaching the camp, the first thing Chen Wen did was to roast the yellow-headed goldfinch by the campfire.

During this time, Chen Wen was also planning his shelter.

His idea was quite simple, utilizing two giant column cacti close together, to set up a transverse beam between them.

Using ropes twisted from agave, he planned to tie other collected wood to the sides of the beam.

Constructing a shelter frame resembling the letter A.

Finally, securing plant leaves on the frame to block wind and rain would be no problem.

Among the materials found this trip, there was a long piece of withered wood suitable as the shelter's beam.

Chen Wen decided to set up the main beam while cooking the bird meat.

No sooner said than done.

Chen Wen took off his shirt, exposing a strong upper body.

Then he placed his shirt on his shoulder, bracing the withered wood, and hung one end on the branch of a giant column.

This branch of the giant column was quite low, about one and a half meters above the ground.

While the other column was relatively higher, nearly two meters above the ground.

The fifty-centimeter height difference posed quite a challenge for Chen Wen; he needed something to secure the withered wood to prevent it from sliding off.

The agave collected yesterday became the best material.

Yesterday, Chen Wen had weighed down the agave around the campfire.

Thanks to the campfire's heat, the agave was very dry by now.

Chen Wen found a relatively smooth stone and placed the agave leaves on top.

Then, using the convex side of the sapper shovel, he gently tapped the agave leaves, cracking open and separating the unusable outer peel.

Only leaving the fibrous internal structure behind.

Afterward, he divided the fibers into multiple strands, selecting two strands, knotting one end, and hanging them on the sapper shovel.

Then began the endless twisting.

The two fiber strands twisted in the same direction would entwine together.

Forming a shape similar to hemp rope.

After twisting the two strands, Chen Wen tested the durability and strength.

Very good.

As expected, top-quality fibers!

Chen Wen commented, using the rope twisted from agave to bind the withered branch to the giant column cactus.

Securely fixed.

The main beam was completed, and the bird meat was ready too.

Looking up at the blazing sun, Chen Wen didn't linger.

He took the bird meat and his dwindling supply of prickly pear cactus fruit.

Heading directly towards the valley on the north side of the ridge.

...

On the side of the show's production team.

Seeing Chen Wen dining on the fragrant bird meat, the assistants of other contestants were quite envious.

"Wasn't that fast? Our contestants are still starving!"

"He's incredibly lucky, really, a headless bird carcass just suddenly landed before him!"

"I suspect there are ghosts at work in secret... "

As everyone chatted.

Adam's assistant, that friendly guy Hei, suddenly let out a loud cry.

He stared at the screen intently, seemingly confirming something, then danced with excitement.

What happened?

Lin Jiawei quickly walked over to see the surveillance footage.

In the footage, Adam held a knife, cutting something.

"What is that?"

Lin Jiawei asked.

Seeing it was Lin Jiawei, Hei explained with a smile, "Adam set up a trap using an agave rope near a water source, then chased after a group of roadrunners, driving them into the trap area and caught one unlucky fellow!"

Roadrunners!

These are genuinely medium-sized birds!

"What a big roadrunner!"

"Oh, oh, Adam is still amazing, as stable as a robot!"

"That one roadrunner is enough for his day's energy needs!"

Everyone praised, making Hei feel very good.

Lin Jiawei, looking at the big roadrunner, was also quite envious.

This surely has more meat than Chen Wen's yellow-headed goldfinch.

And with Adam's trap completed, he will have a steady supply of meat in the future.

Chen Wen's battle for the championship is hard!

Wait!

Lin Jiawei covered his forehead, thinking to himself: No need for the championship, just top three, top three will do!

...

Chen Wen was unaware that his assistant had only set the goal of being in the top three.

At this moment, he indulged in the joy of eating meat.

Due to the limited salt he brought, Chen Wen didn't use any.

Instead, he squeezed the juice of the prickly pear cactus onto the roasted yellow-headed goldfinch.

One bite, the meatiest breast was almost entirely gnawed clean by Chen Wen.

"Delicious!"

Chen Wen's eyes lit up.

Chewed a few bites, then took another bite of prickly pear cactus fruit.

The sweet and sour juice countered the gamey taste of the bird meat.

Leaving only the tenderness.

After swallowing the bird breast, Chen Wen bit into a bird leg.

He couldn't even bear to spit out the bones, chewing them with a crunch and swallowing them whole.

The yellow-headed goldfinch was really too small, not enough to satisfy his hunger.

Chen Wen licked the last of the bird bones, and tossed them aside.

After finishing the remaining fruit, Chen Wen began choosing an entry.

[Plunder the creation of nature – Yellow-headed Goldfinch!]

[Plundering... Completed!]

[Please choose one of the following three entries]

[Group Action (Blue): You prefer to act in a group, solitary actions would mean long-term unease]

[Note: We little birds survive longer when we stick together! — Yellow-headed Goldfinch]

[Friend of the Cactus (Green): You have a unique friendship with cacti, wounds from cacti recover faster]

[Note: Cacti are good friends! — Yellow-headed Goldfinch]

[Refined Bird (Purple): You are more adept at building shelters, your shelters will appear more aesthetic, if the shelter is damaged, until repaired, you will remain in low spirits]

[Note: Not being able to live in a beautiful nest is quite a sad thing — Yellow-headed Goldfinch]

[Make a choice or forfeit before one minute or the first entry will be automatically selected!]

Looking at the entries for the yellow-headed goldfinch, Chen Wen did not hesitate, directly selecting [Refined Bird].

As Chen Wen made his choice, many methods for building shelters appeared in his mind.

This is a knowledge-based entry, providing more about shelter construction.

After absorbing this knowledge, Chen Wen couldn't help but exclaim: Truly refined!
