Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Damn it!

Why did it go over to the short-tailed cat's side?

Chen Wen looked at Failure No. 2 and couldn't help but curse silently.

No. 2 kept moving down the steep rocky hill, without sensing the ambush below the mountain.

But perhaps the god of nature took pity on this failure.

It chose a route leaving the valley that veered southward, right into the short-tailed cat's defensive area.

The short-tailed cat was extremely tense.

Even with all its limbs intact, it wasn't a match for the big horn sheep, let alone in its injured and weakened state.

But seeing the big horn sheep about to enter the valley, the dense thickets here weren't suitable for hunting.

The short-tailed cat had no choice but to leap out and issue a menacing scream.

A classic hiss and roar startled the big horn sheep.

It instinctively turned around, intending to run back up the mountain.

But upon seeing it was a short-tailed cat, the big horn sheep relaxed.

For no reason other than the two being in completely different weight classes.

Male big horn sheep are larger than the females.

Female big horn sheep already have no fear of the short-tailed cat, let alone the males?

The big horn sheep emitted a dull call, dipped its head, and aimed its two big horns at the short-tailed cat.

It began to intimidate the short-tailed cat instead.

If it didn't make way, this big horn would show the short-tailed cat why the flowers are so red.

The short-tailed cat continued to call out, lunging forward.

The big horn sheep did not retreat at all, charging directly forward.

Having already been driven away, it was full of pent-up frustration.

The short-tailed cat turned and fled, not daring to use its body to block the big horn.

Seeing this, the big horn sheep bared its teeth and chased the short-tailed cat.

It seemed intent on venting its frustration.

In the past, in such a situation, the short-tailed cat would just turn and run.

But ever since it could communicate with Chen Wen, its intelligence seemed to have increased.

The place where it was fleeing to was Chen Wen's ambush location.

Chen Wen's eyes lit up.

He was just feeling frustrated trying to find an opportunity, and who would have thought the short-tailed cat created such a good one.

As the big horn sheep got closer, Chen Wen gripped the knife handle tightly, building up his strength.

Just as the big horn sheep reached the bushes, it seemed to sense something amiss, immediately stopping and trying to brake and turn sharply.

But inertia said to it: No, you don't, you want to become roast whole lamb!

When the big horn sheep braked, Chen Wen sensed the perfect opportunity!

He suddenly let out a howl: "Awooo!"

[Howl] activated!

Chen Wen's voice carried an ancient intimidation, instantly awakening the genes of the surrounding creatures.

The short-tailed cat was horrified, its fur stood on end, an intense dread arose from within.

It quickly fled from Chen Wen.

The big horn sheep, on the other hand, was stunned by the howl.

The whole sheep stood frozen, its eyes bulging wide.

The paralysis didn't last long, only a few seconds, but it was enough to seal its fate!

With the aid of [Swift], Chen Wen swung the knife in reverse grip, with incredible speed.

The blade slashed across the big horn sheep's thick neck.

Crack!

A single slash drew blood!

It even cut through bone.

One slash!

That sealed the big horn sheep's fate.

By the time the big horn sheep's paralysis ended, Chen Wen was already holding its neck, pressing it to the ground.

"Deep breaths! Feeling dizzy is normal!"

Chen Wen pressed down the most dangerous horn of the big horn sheep with his left hand, and with his right, he was gripping its neck.

His legs clamped tightly around the big horn sheep's body.

The big horn sheep struggled in its death throes, but with little strength.

After such a prolonged contest with its kind.

Its strength was exhausted, its head buzzing.

Facing Chen Wen, who had been lying in wait and had even struck it once already.

It had no ability to resist.

The short-tailed cat seemed to shake off its fear.

It nimbly jumped back, watching this brutal scene.

"I'll drink first."

The short-tailed cat, not standing on ceremony, immediately went to the big horn sheep's neck, lapping up the flowing blood.

Damn, this cat is really smart.

Chen Wen thought to himself.

If he had the tools, he swore he'd collect the blood and make a pot of sheep blood soup.

...

"This... isn't that hard, is it?"

Lin Jiawei, watching the gory scene on screen, couldn't help but say.

"Isn't it just about finding a place to hide in advance, waiting for the sheep to come down, letting the short-tailed cat lure the sheep over, Chen Wen howling, and then slashing with the knife?"

The guide's mouth twitched.

This is called not hard?

If anyone else could perform even one step of this, they'd be considered amazing!

The guide ignored Lin Jiawei: "It seems Chen Wen and the short-tailed cat have established a deep bond."

"There is already a divine connection between them."

Everyone ignored the guide's spiritual rambles.

A group of assistants began analyzing the monumental achievements Chen Wen had made this trip.

...

Seeing that the big horn sheep was dead beyond doubt, Chen Wen stood up and released it.

He glanced up at the high ground.

During his howl, the big horn sheep up high had already scattered away.

"Got this one, the whole group will be hard to find now."

Chen Wen lamented.

This sheep wasn't small.

If he ate it alone, with road lark and other foods, he might last until the end of survival.

But adding the short-tailed cat's family, it would probably only last about twenty days.

"Let's go back."

Chen Wen nudged the short-tailed cat that was starting to tear at the flesh.

The short-tailed cat licked its lips, relishing the taste.

Seeing the short-tailed cat return to normal and physically improving.

Chen Wen directly chose the short-tailed cat's entry.

He chose [Pursuit], a trait to cover weaknesses.

After Chen Wen made the choice, the short-tailed cat seemed to perceive it.

"I can feel the gift you chose, it's my pursuit ability, right?"

Chen Wen made a sound of acknowledgment and hefted the big horn sheep onto his shoulder: "Let's go back!"

Picking up his pack and the two kittens from the original hiding bushes, Chen Wen headed back to the shelter without stopping.

...

In the valley where Chen Wen hunted the big horn sheep, on the other side.

"Heavens, so it was a flock of sheep making noise from that side!"

Roland watched the flock of sheep running down the mountain, salivating uncontrollably.

He had been hungry for a long time.

Like others, Roland chose to build a shelter and set up traps for hunting near the water source.

But he was frustrated by the fact that the traps didn't catch enough food.

Since the day before yesterday, he had had to rely on cactus fruit and mesquite.

Seeing the flock now, a hint of longing crossed Roland's mind.

He wanted to hunt a big horn sheep!

...

Because the exploration south was far.

And the hunt for the big horn sheep had taken a considerable amount of time.

By the time Chen Wen reached the water source valley, it was nearly dark.

He quickly fetched water and sped up.

After a day's trek, the short-tailed cat was also exhausted.

But the two kittens, smelling the meat, were extremely excited.

As Chen Wen hefted the big horn sheep and continued back.

The sky resounded with a flapping sound.

A familiar shadow landed on the back of the big horn sheep Chen Wen was carrying.

It was an eagle owl.

Chen Wen was puzzled. Shouldn't the eagle owl be preparing to hunt by now?

Why did it look so bedraggled?

And its feathers bore flecks of blood.

What happened?

Could the shelter have been attacked by others or creatures?

Many grim possibilities crossed Chen Wen's mind in an instant.

The eagle owl took a breath, its tone became very serious: "Human, our home has been attacked!"

As expected!

Chen Wen turned off the recording equipment and asked, "By what?"

"Gila woodpeckers!"

The eagle owl looked terrified, as if disaster was looming: "Let's move!"
