Wilderness Survival with Druid System
Chapter 996 - 15: Eagle and Wolf MinkLooking in the direction of the sound, everyone saw Hua Yun and the four grouse she was carrying in her hand.
Gaston was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed joyfully, "What the heck! So fast? How long have you been out? Three hours? You brought back four grouse right away?"
Grouse!
That’s a rare delicacy!
Everyone couldn’t help but think.
Chen Wen thought even more: Damn! Just got some mushrooms earlier, tonight we can have chicken stew with mushrooms!
Even if it’s not the most authentic kind.
Chen Wen immediately said, "Let’s not talk about this now, tonight at the meeting, I will sort out our current tasks, and then we can discuss. For now, let’s prepare the grouse and the mushrooms I just found, and process these things!"
"Tonight, chicken stew with mushrooms!"
Once the topic shifted to food, everyone immediately became excited.
Their energy levels were at full throttle.
After Hua Yun came over, Gaston naturally took the grouse, planning to handle them.
He’s quite skilled at handling ingredients.
Hua Yun sat by the fire, intending to take a break.
Meanwhile, Roland and Adam took down the pot of pine needle water from the fire.
They set it beside the fire to keep warm.
As for Fred, he was still chopping trees in the surrounding woods.
At this moment, Chen Wen also asked Hua Yun if she encountered anything during the hunt.
Hua Yun heard this, glanced at Chen Wen with a complicated expression, then said, "To be honest, for hunting such small prey, you just need to send the Beast Taming out."
"I found that this Golden Eagle is completely different from when we were in the Yukon. Back then, it was very timid and was only an auxiliary in hunting, but this time..."
Hua Yun recounted what happened before, and Adam and Roland, who were listening, couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
What the heck?
What’s going on?
Chen Wen’s Golden Eagle can now find prey by itself and seize opportunities to hunt?
Hearing this, Chen Wen wasn’t particularly surprised.
Last time in Qiangtang, the Golden Eagle could already hunt and bring prey back to the camp on its own.
However, back then, he hadn’t turned on the camera much, and the few recordings were kept in the association.
Hua Yun hadn’t planned to participate in the mountain extreme challenge at the time, so she naturally didn’t know about these things.
However, hearing Hua Yun’s account, Chen Wen became a bit intrigued.
Is letting the Beast Taming hunt on its own feasible?
He wasn’t sure.
But Chen Wen felt that, with the Golden Eagle’s intelligence and ability, hunting would be quite easy for it.
Moreover, Wolf Mink and Eagle also have a habit of cooperating; they should also have gains when they go out.
If these three animals worked together to hunt small animals, alongside a brown bear, they shouldn’t lack food in the early stages!
This way, the six of them could spare more time and energy to build the shelter.
The more Chen Wen thought about this method, the brighter his eyes became.
Soon, he clapped his hands, "That’s decided then!"
Hua Yun was stunned, not knowing what Chen Wen had decided.
...
Meanwhile.
While Chen Wen was thinking about the Eagle and Wolf Mink.
These two were leisurely eating food on a Yunshan Tree.
This was food they had just caught, a mountain hare discovered and chased by the Eagle and finally pounced on and bitten to death by the Wolf Mink.
Ninety percent of the hare’s meat had already been devoured by the Eagle and Wolf Mink.
As they were eating the hare meat, they were also communicating.
"There are more than one hare here, once we’re full, we need to get to work."
The Eagle spoke, reminding the Wolf Mink.
The Wolf Mink, hearing this, wanted to slack off a bit.
It’s the kind of creature that doesn’t care about its companions once it’s full.
But the Eagle, well-acquainted with this long-time friend, warned, "Don’t even think about slacking off; we promised Chen Wen to bring back some food for the Snowy Owl and Golden Eagle. They’ve lived with us for so long; we can’t let down our brothers!"
Hearing this, the Wolf Mink licked the blood on its front paw, "Alright, let’s get to work later. I just remembered, Chen Wen might want some meat too, we should get some for him."
The Eagle nodded in satisfaction, "Glad you know, that’s a good buddy!"
The Wolf Mink chuckled, but soon after, it asked, "Then how are we going to hunt later? The hares have all gone into their burrows."
The Eagle glanced at the ground, where there were some fairly hidden burrows.
But they couldn’t escape its keen eyes.
The Eagle thought for a moment and said, "Let’s do this, we’ll find some stones and block all but two of the entrances. I remember you got a lot of strength from Chen Wen, right? Try digging into one of the burrows with your claws while I block the other side. That way, no matter where they try to escape, we’ll catch them. What do you think?"
The Wolf Mink, not good at using its brain, tilted its head in thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I’ll follow your lead; I don’t really understand, anyway."
The Eagle rolled its eyes, unable to help but tease its friend, "Can you use your brain a little? We need to gradually learn to think like Chen Wen!"
The Wolf Mink indifferently said, "Thinking isn’t useful; we have Chen Wen to take care of things. We’ll just work when we need to."
Hearing this, the Eagle sighed in exasperation, "At your age, you’d be settling down and having kids in our eagle community! Still so immature! Sigh!"
The Wolf Mink immediately covered its head with its front paws, blocking its ears.
The Eagle, unable to persuade further, said, "Alright, let’s prepare and get to work!"
"Okay!"
...
Arriving under the tree.
The Eagle began looking for suitable rocks, and once it found them, it signaled with a cry for the Wolf Mink to come and push the rocks.
The Wolf Mink moved swiftly; soon it pushed the rocks near the burrow entrance, blocking it.
Inside the burrow, the hares sensed the situation outside.
But they couldn’t figure out why the intruders were doing this, leaving them confused and bewildered.
Based on past experience, once they hid in the burrow, whether it was fierce wolves or cunning foxes, these predators wouldn’t linger long nearby or make much noise.
This anomaly made them vary cautious.
But the hares had no choice; they dared not venture out and flee in front of the Eagle and Wolf Mink.
On one hand, they were slow and couldn’t escape.
On the other hand, they were gambling; they thought perhaps the Eagle and Wolf Mink would leave after a while without any gain.
Unfortunately, if it had been ordinary Wolf Mink and Eagle, their plan might have allowed them to survive.
But this time, things were different!
With almost all entrances blocked, leaving just two, the Eagle stationed itself at one of them.
It raised a claw, aiming at the burrow’s entrance.
As soon as something came out, it would swipe down and hold it there!
Meanwhile, the Wolf Mink began its actions on the other side.
Thanks to the strength from the [Giant Strength], combined with its powerful claws, the Wolf Mink could effortlessly turn over the topsoil and bury itself into the hare’s burrow.
Before the Wolf Mink could dig much, the hares inside couldn’t stay put any longer!
They realized if they didn’t act now, they’d be done for!
But to make a move now...
One hare tried to escape from one of the unblocked entrances.
But as it poked its head out, a sharp claw swiftly held it down, pinning it to the ground, unable to move.
