Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 981 - 11: Contact with Animals

At noon, the group ate some fairly bland food.

This was information Hua Yun had found.

It’s said that after humans eat highly stimulating food, their bodies emit strong scents that can discomfort animals.

Whether this information is true or not, the group followed it.

Being cautious doesn’t hurt.

After the meal, the group took pieces of meat into the room.

Chen Wen went in first, and upon seeing the animals, he quietly told them that more people would be entering soon.

And these people would have to survive together for a long time.

So they would be meeting them soon.

The animals nodded, indicating their understanding.

However, Chen Wen particularly noticed the Snowy Owl, the one still cautious around humans.

Besides Chen Wen and Jiang Xue, it’s wary of almost anyone who gets close.

Soon, signaled by Chen Wen, Hua Yun went in first.

Both the Golden Eagle and Snowy Owl had memories of Hua Yun.

Though initially unpleasant after encountering Hua Yun, the Golden Eagle became familiar with her after time spent in the Yukon Territory.

With the Golden Eagle’s excited cry, it couldn’t help but flap its wings and fly toward Hua Yun.

Squinting, Hua Yun let the Golden Eagle land on her arm—of course, she had wrapped her arm with padding beforehand.

"Goodness, this Golden Eagle feels like it’s gotten a bit fatter!"

Hua Yun couldn’t help but say.

Chen Wen nodded; compared to their first encounter, the Golden Eagle had grown a lot larger.

Even among the much larger female Golden Eagles, its size was quite significant.

The Snowy Owl also had memories of Hua Yun.

Back then, Hua Yun’s attitude toward the Snowy Owl was fairly friendly.

The Snowy Owl hesitated for a bit before calling out twice to Hua Yun.

That was a greeting of sorts.

The Eagle was a bit nervous.

It felt Hua Yun was quite special!

As for the Wolf Mink, it didn’t think much—it approached Hua Yun and used its paw to tug at her pants, begging for food.

Hua Yun quickly took out the fresh meat she had brought and fed it to the Wolf Mink.

The Wolf Mink took the meat and contentedly began eating.

Then, Chen Wen called Fred in.

Fred’s size imposed a strong sense of pressure on the animals.

Upon seeing Fred, the Wolf Mink couldn’t even bother to eat its meat.

It quickly hid in the hay pile.

This made Fred a bit embarrassed.

He picked up a piece of meat, trying to feed the animals, but except the Eagle, none of them paid attention to Fred.

Fred grew even more embarrassed.

But soon, the Eagle seemed to develop a positive impression of Fred.

It flew to Fred’s side and ate a piece of meat.

This made Fred very grateful, as he even more carefully maintained the relationship with the Eagle.

Next came Adam.

After glancing around, none of the animals seemed overly nervous around him.

He picked up a piece of meat and approached Hua Yun.

The Golden Eagle opened its mouth and ate the meat Adam brought, but it still stayed with Hua Yun.

Roland entered after.

Upon his entrance, the Snowy Owl suddenly screeched, showing extreme tension and caution.

Chen Wen quickly stood up, using an inquisitive look towards the Snowy Owl.

Soon, Chen Wen got the answer from the Snowy Owl.

Apparently, Roland looked somewhat similar to the person who harmed its family.

Quite the coincidence, indeed.

People of the same race tend to look somewhat alike.

In this matter, Chen Wen couldn’t do much.

Roland, noticing this, wasn’t discouraged or emotional.

He responded somewhat helplessly: "I’ve never really been in favor with animals, oh well, I’ll just stick close to others when moving around."

The last to enter was Gaston.

For unknown reasons, after Gaston came in, the Wolf Mink seemed a bit curious about him.

Gaston sensed the Wolf Mink’s friendliness and quickly seized the moment, continuously feeding it food.

Seeing his teammates gradually able to interact with the animals, Chen Wen nodded slightly.

This was a good start.

After these few days, it is hoped that by the time survival begins, the animals will have developed a much better relationship with these teammates.

...

Another three days passed like this.

The two hunting guides contacted by Fred started reaching out to him, inviting him to bring everyone near Lake Baikal for adaptive survival.

Upon receiving the news, the group rented two cars and sped off swiftly.

In the final period before survival begins, the group had to take advantage of the time to adjust to the environment, recalibrate themselves, and enter the survival mindset.

After arriving at the agreed location with the guides, the group began their adaptive survival.

Led by the guides, they ventured deep into the forests around Lake Baikal for a weeklong adaptive survival.

Once the survival ended.

Based on the survival conditions, Chen Wen and Adam made further adjustments to a few survival flaws.

Finally, after several days.

With Liu Yu calling everyone, survival entered the official countdown phase.

The group had a grasp of the situation in their hearts.

Chen Wen opened the door, and everyone left the room calmly, heading towards the pre-survival gathering point.

...

Upon arriving at the gathering point before survival.

Chen Wen took a look around and saw quite a few familiar faces.

Previously encountered during the Desert Extreme Challenge, Shijing Heren, Vini, and several local Russian contestants.

Additionally, there were a few people who had participated in the Wilderness Alone.

In general, there were quite a lot of acquaintances.

Chen Wen took a glance at the situation, understanding it clearly.

This time, many people were participating in survival, but the overall intensity seemed rather ordinary.

Perhaps because most of the previous Lin Ji Challenge contestants had passed?

Chen Wen thought.

But this time, there was no need for contestants to compete against each other, so the intensity wasn’t crucial information.

After observing, Chen Wen got busy with the preparations before survival began.

The first task was registration and signing in.

Chen Wen and the group entered the registration room, and the person in charge of reception happened to be Oleg, the vice president of the Russian Survival Association they’d met last time.

Oleg looked at the six of them, squinting his eyes slightly: "Your team... is very strong!"

Upon hearing this, the other contestants in the room couldn’t help but nod.

Each of them, individually, could be considered a key member of a team.

But this time they had gathered together, intensifying their strength massively!

A contestant couldn’t help but say: "If the competitors had to compete against one another, I bet many would choose to withdraw just upon signing in?"

Another contestant from the same team couldn’t help but nod.

However, he seemed to know more, whispering: "I’ve heard that their actual rivals this time are their own teammates, Chen Wen seems to have proposed a competitive mechanism, many are vying this time."

The voice of the contestant was very quiet, unheard by many, but Chen Wen caught it clearly.

Damn, this is truly frustrating!

All I wanted was to challenge Roland a bit, who knew the whole affair would become public, it’s really frustrating...

Chen Wen didn’t even know how to begin his complaints.

After signing in.

Everyone promptly submitted their list of essential tools, including Chen Wen’s four animals.

The tool review was incredibly fast, and before long, they received the approval message.

The remaining task was left to the assistants of the contestants.

Chen Wen and his group stayed in a room provided by the Russian Association, waiting quietly for survival to begin.

About three days later.

With the Russian Association sending over all the completed preparations.

The Forest Extreme Challenge officially began!
