Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The sound of the car engine was incessant, but the two people inside the car showed no signs of impatience.

The bearded man concentrated on driving, while the cleft-lipped man used binoculars to scan the surroundings.

They kept searching for signs of horse herds or human activity, but their efforts yielded little.

From noon until after four in the afternoon, the four-hour long journey left both of them exhausted in body and mind.

"Haven’t we found anything yet?"

The bearded man couldn’t help but ask, after driving for so long, he felt his body was no longer his own.

Upon hearing this, the cleft-lipped man was about to repeat the "nothing found yet" which he had said many times.

Suddenly, he looked to his right-front.

Over there, a herd of horses caught his attention.

The cleft-lipped man immediately said, "I think I’ve found something! Head to the right-front, there seems to be a herd of horses!"

The bearded man was stunned, then his face lit up with excitement, "Great!"

With a step on the gas pedal, the off-road vehicle made a loud noise.

Their speed increased a bit more as they hurried towards the place where the horse herd was discovered.

At the same time.

The snow leopard atop Xiong Ma seemed to sense something.

It raised its head, its ears perked up, listening to the sounds around.

And Xiong Ma also stopped moving, standing still with its head raised and ears up.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Wen looked at the two animals in surprise, puzzled by their behavior.

At this time, the snow leopard cautiously said, "There’s a sound! It seems like the kind of car sound we encountered before, not very loud, but I can hear it!"

And Xiong Ma also nodded, "Yes, I heard it too!"

Hearing this, Chen Wen immediately understood the current situation.

"Golden Eagle! Go up and take a look!"

Chen Wen immediately called out to Golden Eagle, who was already prepared, flapping its wings as it soared into the sky.

It wasn’t long before Golden Eagle’s voice came from high above, "There’s a car! It’s the same one we saw last night!"

Have those poachers come looking?

Chen Wen’s brow furrowed as he was about to speak.

Golden Eagle’s voice came again, "But they’re not heading towards us; I checked, their destination seems to be south of us?"

"Yes, south, there’s a herd of River Curve Horses, they’re heading towards them now!"

Hearing this, Chen Wen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they’re not coming here.

However, their direct approach to the River Curve Horses made Chen Wen cautious.

The other party probably knows I’ve tamed the River Curve Horse herd.

But they aren’t aware I took the chubby-headed one.

So now, they might be planning to snatch the other two snow leopard cubs from me, or they’re coming for me.

Chen Wen thought to himself.

After all, Chen Wen wasn’t boasting; his head was a rare commodity in this Hunting Owl organization.

"Alright, I roughly understand the situation."

Chen Wen said, "Snow Leopard, I have an idea now, we can’t continue moving as a large group anymore, it’s too conspicuous, I’m thinking of splitting up, and also..."

He glanced at the sky.

It was already late afternoon, nearing evening.

After waiting a while longer, if these Hunting Owl members continue to advance towards the core area,

Chen Wen wouldn’t mind dropping by tonight to meet with these poachers who were as active in the various uninhabited and protected areas, and have a chat with them.

After all, Chen Wen didn’t plan to find them, but if they come knocking, there’s no way he would just let them go like that.

With this thought, Chen Wen quickly instructed the animals.

He told the animals to split up and act separately.

He himself would proceed on foot, with Golden Eagle following him, disguising as a hiker to start his action.

...

After separating from Chen Wen and the animals.

On the bearded man’s side.

They got out of the car, looking helplessly at the fleeing River Curve Horse herd.

"It’s a herd, but not the one we’re looking for."

The bearded man sighed helplessly.

He moved his joints and couldn’t help but say, "Let’s find a place to rest, we probably won’t find them today, tomorrow we can drive a bit further and search around."

The cleft-lipped man nodded in agreement with the bearded man’s idea.

The two looked around and found a sheltered place to park the car.

Without camping gear, they decided to make do in the car for the night.

After flattening the seats and grabbing some warm clothing, they planned to start a fire, have dinner, and then rest.

While starting the fire, the bearded man climbed a nearby hill, using the high ground, he kept looking through his binoculars.

But still found nothing.

Though the bearded man found nothing, the Golden Eagle, not far away, used the firelight to successfully locate the two men’s position.

"Found them!"

With a flap of its wings, Golden Eagle descended from the sky, informing Chen Wen of the news, "Those people have stopped near the slope where we stayed, they’ve lit a campfire."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen immediately became interested.

"They’ve stopped? Let’s go have a look!"

Chen Wen said, also telling Golden Eagle to inform the other animals, letting them rest nearby.

Xiong Ma, with his herd, found a place to rest and settled down.

The snow leopard family found a crevice near a slope and hid within it.

After ensuring there were no issues on both sides, Chen Wen, with Golden Eagle, took a detour, planning to approach the two poachers from the other side of the mountain.

...

The night grew darker.

Around nine p.m., Chen Wen arrived near the slope.

When he arrived, the two poachers they had seen last night were sitting by the campfire smoking.

Seeing this, Chen Wen immediately transformed into the smallest form of Jixiao, flapping his wings, silently landing near the two men.

As soon as he arrived, Chen Wen in Jixiao form heard some heavy news.

The bearded man said irritably, "If we really can’t find it this time, even if we frame Zhao, there’s a high chance Scar will deal with us brutally!"

The cleft-lipped man also worried, "Scar’s temper has always been bad, we’re not the first group to follow him, I heard people say that a few guys before us, one was buried alive in the mine by Scar for losing goods."

Hearing this, Chen Wen in Jixiao form was a bit surprised as he glanced at the cleft-lipped man.

These people even have blood on their hands!

At this point, the bearded man continued, "Yeah, I heard about that, they say before the reserve was established, Scar was a ruthless guy who hunted illegally and robbed with a gun. This situation has me really scared!"

Both sighed again upon reaching this point.

"Enough, let’s sleep!"

The bearded man scratched his back through his clothes and stood up, "If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll just drive away, Scar can only do so much, he can’t extend his reach outside the reserve, can he?"

"That’s true."

The cleft-lipped man also stood up, kicking the fire out with his foot.
