Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The next day.

Chen Wen sent the Golden Eagle out to scout the situation.

But shortly after the Golden Eagle flew out, Chen Wen heard a series of flapping sounds.

He walked out of the cave and saw the Golden Eagle landing.

"What happened? Did something happen outside or did you discover something?"

Chen Wen asked.

The Golden Eagle nodded, "There’s a discovery! I saw a stranger, pushing a bicycle, approaching us!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen was taken aback, "A stranger pushing a bicycle nearing us? Hmm! Could it be that person from before? Has he arrived?"

Chen Wen hesitated for a moment, picked up his spear, and walked out of the valley.

He didn’t plan to let the person in but intended to ascertain the person’s intent outside.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen had the Golden Eagle and the Snow Leopard stay quietly inside the cave and used stones to seal the cave.

If any unexpected situation arose, he could quickly return to the cave to handle the scenario.

With spear in hand, he arrived at the mouth of the valley, and soon saw the person the Golden Eagle spoke of.

The person looked somewhat skinny, his face obscured by clothing and sunglasses, making it hard to discern details. However, Chen Wen noticed his right leg seemed injured, limping as he walked.

Moreover, judging by the exposed skin, this person seemed to be someone used to spending a lot of time outdoors; his skin was rough and tanned.

Through the limited view, before the person even approached, Chen Wen had already observed most of his belongings.

His clothes appeared somewhat worn but were branded garments, the kind with good outdoor quality.

Around his neck hung a camera, also seemingly a renowned brand rather than something cheap.

The bicycle he was pushing was of decent quality, carrying a pile of things that seemed to be food and some daily essentials.

He didn’t seem like a poacher.

From the appearance alone, he looked more like someone escaping the city’s hustle and embarking on a wilderness trek.

Despite feeling a bit of affinity for such people, Chen Wen still remained cautious overall.

While Chen Wen was observing the stranger, the person also gradually noticed Chen Wen.

Seeing Chen Wen, the stranger visibly slowed down.

The visitor seemed frightened by Chen Wen’s appearance since not everyone is inclined to approach someone wielding a spear happily.

Perhaps seeking something from Chen Wen, the stranger hesitated but still resolutely headed towards him.

...

After waiting for about ten minutes.

The stranger came within talking distance from Chen Wen.

"Hello?"

The stranger cautiously asked, waving a hand towards Chen Wen, "Do you live in this valley?"

Chen Wen nodded slightly and replied loudly, "Yes, what are you here for?"

"Cough, cough, brother, no need to be so tense."

Seemingly sensing Chen Wen’s hostility, the stranger removed his sunglasses, revealing his face, "My name is Qin Yi, I’m a trekker. The day before yesterday, I passed by here and hurt my leg."

As he spoke, Qin Yi, seemingly to prove his words, pulled up his right pant leg a bit, revealing the gauze with some blood streaks.

"I intended to trek across the Qiangtang, but now I can’t go on. I thought I’d see if I could get some help from you or have you contact outside for me."

Qin Yi spoke sincerely.

Seeing no immediate issues, Chen Wen hesitated a bit before signaling Qin Yi to come closer.

"You come over; if everything you said is true, I can help you contact outside."

As he spoke, Chen Wen planted the spear into the ground and moved about three to four meters away from it.

This gesture reassured Qin Yi somewhat, so he continued pushing the bicycle towards Chen Wen.

"Hi."

As Qin Yi got closer, Chen Wen spoke first, "If it’s convenient, may I look at your injury?"

Qin Yi parked the bicycle and rolled up his pant leg.

At that moment, Chen Wen said, "You might also want to take off your shoes. By the way, I noticed your shoes seemed a bit wet, why not turn them upside down to dry a bit?"

Hearing Chen Wen’s words, Qin Yi was a bit baffled: at this moment, outside the valley, drying shoes?

He didn’t quite understand but complied anyway.

Chen Wen took the opportunity to glance at the soles of Qin Yi’s shoes.

The patterns, size all matched the previous tracks!

It seemed the one who had peered into his camp and even entered was indeed him!

Chen Wen had already formed an idea in his heart.

At that moment, Qin Yi also fully revealed his wound.

Chen Wen took a quick look, noting that most wounds were scrapes and bruises.

Some areas already had scabs and bruises, indicating they were recent injuries, with the scabs bearing fresh coloration.

"How did this happen?"

Chen Wen asked.

Upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flickered across Qin Yi’s face.

"Well... how should I put it."

He said a bit sheepishly, "Previously, when passing by your area, I circled around the mountain, roughly nearby, there was a slope formed by rubble. I thought a photo from up there would be great, so I climbed it."

"But who would’ve thought, once I got up, barely snapped a couple of shots, the rubble on the mountain collapsed, and down I went, fortunately only hurting my leg."

Hearing this, Chen Wen couldn’t resist a quip, "Really? In your condition, you’re still trekking? Such recklessness?"

He glanced at the wound, shook his head and commented, "Not life-threatening, and it doesn’t look like a fracture, you’re lucky."

He did recall that rubble slope, but since there wasn’t anything useful on it, he never climbed up, preferring to just glance while passing by.

"Haha, I’ve always had a bit of luck."

Qin Yi chuckled, "Although I got hurt, I met you. Maybe there’s help to be found!"

This comment made Chen Wen pause in his actions, wow, this guy knows how to talk!

The words eased some of Chen Wen’s vigilance.

He shook his head and asked, "Do you have a team? Or teammates?"

Qin Yi decisively shook his head, "Brother, you might not be aware, in our field, there aren’t really teams, we usually venture unsupported across."

Chen Wen pondered a bit and asked, "You’re trekking?"

"Yes."

Qin Yi responded promptly.

Chen Wen didn’t ask more, planning instead to support Qin Yi and bring him into the valley.

He didn’t intend to let Qin Yi rest in the cave, but allowing him to camp in the valley was acceptable.

Furthermore, he had noticed the tent that Qin Yi carried.

"By the way, do you know Yang Feng? Another trekker."

Chen Wen seemingly asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi’s eyes lit up, "Whoa, brother, you know old Yang? Wow! We’re old acquaintances; we’ve even trekked to Tibet together before."

Hearing Qin Yi’s words, Chen Wen visibly relaxed a bit.

Yang Feng, a member of the Hua Country Exploration Association, once formed a team with his girlfriend at the Belmont competition in the Yukon Territory.

Later, he got to know Chen Wen, and they considered each other acquaintances; Yang Feng had even invited Chen Wen over for a meal.

His mom’s stew dish was the highlight.

Seeing Chen Wen remain silent, Qin Yi continued, "Yang Feng, in our field, we call him Old Yang, or Slow Yang Yang, named so because his trekking pace is absurdly slow."

"Since you know Old Yang, we’re on the same side; haha, my luck is genuinely good!"
