Wilderness Survival with Druid System

"Speaking of which, didn’t the United Kingdom form an alliance with you? How come this guy is mixing with the contestants from Australia and Nepal?"

From afar, Chen Wen used the vision enhancement provided by the entry [High Mountain Watcher] to capture the appearance of several individuals.

Vikram said helplessly, "The British don’t trust us. They probably have connections over there secretly, but Bao Wen certainly wouldn’t do that."

Alright then, never mind if the British don’t trust you. Your Ah San’s reputation...

Chen Wen chuckled but didn’t say more.

After chatting for a bit, the two continued to watch.

Over there, after finishing their meal, the Nepal contestant began assigning tasks.

He said seriously, "Although Vikram hasn’t continued to appear, necessary precautions still need to be taken. We’ll follow the night watch order as before tonight. Inform the others at the slightest disturbance!"

"Understood!"

Although the other three showed some reluctance, they agreed nonetheless.

"Alright then, you three rest first. I’ll take the first shift."

The Nepal contestant said.

Seeing the situation over there, Chen Wen couldn’t help but say, "These guys do have some vigilance. At least they know about night watch, so it won’t be easy for us to approach silently!"

Upon hearing this, Vikram wasn’t too convinced by Chen Wen’s words. "Hey, in my view, breaking through isn’t actually that hard."

Not hard?

Chen Wen turned his head to look at Vikram.

And Vikram showcased his expertise, "First of all, the number of people on night watch is wrong. If their vigilance were strong enough, they should be in pairs, divided into two groups for rotation. One person is too limited."

"Moreover, the night watch position isn’t right. He’s sitting right by the bonfire, very conspicuous, and this position has his back to the valley, making it easy for someone to sneak up from behind."

"If it were me, I’d extinguish the fire, hide in a secluded corner, and wait for the attacker to enter the camp. Whether counter-attacking or outright escape, it would offer an advantage."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen couldn’t help but say, "Isn’t this the tactic your military uses for raids?"

Vikram nodded slightly, "Yes."

Chen Wen curled the corner of his mouth, "But in the wilderness, fire is the greatest asset for a survivor. Without fire, hiding in those corners makes it easy to get bugs sneaking nearby!"

"This approach might work in Qiangtang, but in the Desert Extreme Challenge of the Great Sand Desert, doing this could leave you dead without knowing how you died."

Upon hearing this, Vikram was slightly unconvinced.

He felt that his method was enough to handle most environments, including coming through rainforests.

But as Chen Wen spoke of his encounters with hairy bull ants, various poisonous snakes, and even scorpions afterward,

Vikram silently noted this matter in his mind.

Australia is really distinct from other places!

Vikram thought.

However, Vikram’s thought process also inspired Chen Wen with new ideas.

He glanced around at the environment and said, "We can climb over the night watcher’s mountain slope, avoiding the valley entrance. I estimate they’ll most likely set traps at the entrance. The slope has few loose stones, as long as we watch our step and avoid making noise, climbing over isn’t hard. What do you think?"

Vikram nodded.

He thought Chen Wen’s method was good.

"Then let’s keep observing, see how often they change shifts, and find out who’s more vigilant and who’s less vigilant among these four. It’ll help us choose a target later."

Chen Wen said, and together with Vikram, they went into stealth mode.

...

About two hours later.

The Nepal contestant stood up and woke the tall and skinny Australian white contestant.

"This Nepalese guy is very vigilant, avoid him,"

Vikram whispered.

Chen Wen nodded slightly.

Just as Vikram said, this Nepal contestant showed almost no signs of sleepiness during the night watch; of course, it could also be because he was on the first shift.

But regardless, avoiding him was fine.

The second tall and skinny white contestant was also quite vigilant.

Chen Wen noticed his hearing appeared to be sharp.

Halfway through his watch, some birds passed near the camp, causing a fairly light sound of flapping wings. This contestant subconsciously looked towards the direction the sound came from, surprising Chen Wen.

"Good hearing, not bad vigilance, avoid,"

Chen Wen said in a low voice.

Vikram fully agreed.

He hadn’t heard the flapping earlier; it was Chen Wen who reminded him.

The third person was another Australian contestant.

Compared to the previous two, his vigilance was much worse.

Also, he had no particular strengths.

As for the fourth British contestant, not ten minutes after sitting down, he entered the "nod-off" mode.

Before half an hour passed, he almost fell to the ground.

Chen Wen recalled that when the night watch tasks were assigned, he had also displayed severe reluctance.

Chen Wen nudged Vikram’s elbow, meeting his gaze with his own gleaming eyes.

"He’s the one!"

Vikram said.

Chen Wen nodded, "It’s the best time too, just before dawn, people are usually in their deepest sleep at this hour."

"Plus, there’s noise coverage. Some early-rising animals will start moving to water and foraging spots around this time, and the sounds they make can mask our actions."

The two agreed immediately.

After withdrawing from the camp, they began resting and recovering.

As the sun rose and set again,

fully equipped, Chen Wen met with Vikram again.

This time, they had brought all necessary gear.

"Let’s move!"

Vikram curled his lips into a somewhat cruel smile.

...

Back at the observation point from yesterday,

Chen Wen and Vikram noticed the four contestants in the valley were cooking meat.

Today, they had gone out hunting. Although they hadn’t caught large game like Tibetan antelope, they had captured many pika.

These pika were making a pot of delicious soup, seemingly with some added spices.

"Hey, how considerate, breakfast is already prepared for us,"

Vikram chuckled, a greedy gleam in his eyes.

Chen Wen nodded slightly.

The soup was indeed aromatic; even lying in wait here, he could smell the rich fragrance.

Thinking about it, ever since leaving the valley, I haven’t had a hot meal for days!

Chen Wen licked his lips and began his stealth approach.

A pot this big couldn’t be finished by the four of them.

So, after eating some, they covered the pot and placed a flat stone from within the camp on top.

This was also their habit.

Afterward, they began their night watch tasks.

But today, having eaten their fill, the vigilance during their night watches greatly decreased.

And that British contestant stayed up late.

Fortune’s favor!

Seeing this, Chen Wen had already begun contemplating how to allocate the spoils.
