On the screen.

Chen Wen did not fall off the cliff out of fear.

On the contrary, Chen Wen was extremely calm at this moment.

He stared firmly at the desert wasp slowly flying up.

There's no way to dodge this time.

The only way is to take down this desert wasp!

And as the desert wasp took flight, Chen Wen had already decided how to deal with it.

He didn't hold on to the crevice, but instead let go, falling downwards.

However, his feet stayed close to the cliff rock.

When he reached the second crevice.

[Swift] enhancement.

Chen Wen precisely stepped on it with his foot.

Rustle...

The weathered rock was very fragile.

Chen Wen stepped directly onto the rock below the crevice, causing it to crumble under his weight, and he continued to fall uncontrollably.

Damn it!

Chen Wen clenched his knife in his teeth, not expecting the rock of the second crevice to be so fragile.

But he wasn't panicked; there was still the first crevice.

The first crevice was very wide.

Chen Wen kept his head down, focusing on the first crevice while falling rapidly.

To slow his descent.

He clawed at the rock face, allowing his palms to be scratched by the wall.

Now!

As he reached the first crevice, Chen Wen kicked forward in mid-air.

His right foot wedged into the crevice.

Tremendous force instantly acted on his right leg.

Chen Wen groaned, his right leg stiffened, supporting his body's weight.

Rustle.

The weathered stones fell again, but this time Chen Wen stabilized.

Ignoring his injuries, he immediately pushed his left foot into the crevice as well.

Once steady, Chen Wen quickly drew his knife and looked up.

...

Above, the desert wasp had already flown out.

It was very unhappy with the creature disturbing its egg-laying and was filled with anger.

The desert wasp intended to use its venomous sting to teach this creature a lesson.

It soon spotted Chen Wen.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the desert wasp flew precisely towards Chen Wen.

Chen Wen fixated on the bright orange wings of the desert wasp.

As the desert wasp flew towards his face.

[Swift] and [Dynamic Vision] were pushed to their limits by Chen Wen at that moment.

The world in Chen Wen's eyes slowed down again.

The flapping speed of the desert wasp's wings also decelerated.

The sinister desert wasp moved slower and slower, almost appearing to freeze in mid-air.

Is this the best effect of the skill?

A thought flashed through Chen Wen's mind.

He gripped the protruding rock with his left hand, and with his right hand, he reversed his grip on the knife, slashing towards the desert wasp at breakneck speed.

The knife flashed a dangerous light in the sun.

Swish!

Chen Wen's body swayed, nearly throwing himself off the cliff.

The world in his eyes returned to its normal speed.

Simultaneously, a strong wave of fatigue hit Chen Wen's eyes, much like the feeling after playing video games for hours on end.

Chen Wen lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.

"Damn, almost got killed by a wasp."

Chen Wen didn't bother continuing to climb. Instead, he eased his way down to assess the situation.

Roland had also noticed the unusual activity around Chen Wen and cautiously approached.

...

"What happened?"

Roland didn't know what thrilling event had just occurred.

Chen Wen wiped the tears from his face with his clothes and opened his eyes.

The fatigue had improved significantly by now.

He shook his hand and said, "Nothing, just got ambushed by a desert wasp."

Desert wasp?!

Roland shivered; he was well aware of the creature's notorious reputation.

"You..."

Roland wanted to ask how Chen Wen was doing.

But seeing Chen Wen's poor condition, he said, "Take a rest first. Where are you hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen began checking his injuries.

Both hands had scraped skin from clawing the wall to slow his descent.

His right leg seemed slightly strained from wedging into the rock.

But everything was still within an acceptable range.

Also, his mouth was bleeding from grazing against the knife, but it wasn't serious.

As for his eyes, though the sudden fatigue had lessened, there was still a slight ache.

"It's all superficial injuries; the main thing is I wasn't stung by the desert wasp."

Chen Wen summarized.

Saying that, he glanced around, "Where's the desert wasp? That strike should have cut it down."

Upon hearing this, Roland retorted, "At a time like this, don't joke around, the desert wasp flies, how can it..."

Before he could finish, Roland saw Chen Wen using his knife to jab at a desert wasp missing its lower half.

"Holy crab!"

Roland's eyes widened, "You weren't kidding?"

"Who jokes at a time like this?"

Chen Wen replied, exasperated, "Am I someone who jokes around?"

He held the still twitching desert wasp up to his face, "Damn you, still trying to attack me? I'll finish you off!"

Afterwards, Chen Wen asked in English, "Is this thing edible?"

Roland shuddered again.

What kind of person is this?

First thing he asks is if it's edible?

Based on his Hunter's experience, Roland said, "If it doesn't have the venomous sting, it should be edible, but it needs to be cooked thoroughly."

"Then it's edible. I'll keep it."

Chen Wen flipped the desert wasp into a compartment of his backpack.

...

"Wang Defa!"

"Holy crab!"

"Don't eat the sour radish!"

At the camp, seeing the half-body wasp in Chen Wen's hand, indecent slang flowed from everyone's mouths.

"How did he do it?"

John promptly called off the rescue.

Thankfully, the rescue team wasn't very efficient, and the helicopter hadn't even started.

The guide held his head as if in disbelief.

Well, no answers from him.

John shook his head, resolving to ask Chen Wen himself once the survival challenge was over.

...

After resting for a while, Chen Wen felt he had mostly recovered.

"You go set up an ambush, I'll keep climbing."

Chen Wen said.

Roland was bewildered, "You're still going to climb?"

"Of course, I'm not letting that bighorn sheep get away."

Chen Wen said, glancing at the bighorn sheep still above.

Thanks to Chen Wen's quietness, these guys hadn't noticed what was happening.

"You're really pushing it."

Roland remarked.

He had always thought survival should be more stable and disciplined.

But after meeting Chen Wen, Roland's perspective shifted.

Maybe one should be more daring and take more risks to achieve the greatest rewards.

As Roland was lost in thought.

Chen Wen interrupted him, "I saw a spider up there. At the time..."

Chen Wen explained what he saw earlier to Roland.

He hadn't studied desert wasps much when he reviewed their information.

Just familiarized himself with their appearance and habits.

Roland hadn't studied them much either, but his wife was someone who enjoyed keeping "exotic" pets.

Spiders were one of those "exotic" pets.

Because of this, Roland knew a bit about spiders.

"That should be a Mexican gold-backed spider."

Based on Chen Wen's description, Roland easily identified it.

After all, the Mexican gold-backed spider is one of the most typical spiders in this desert.

And his wife's collection included this creature.

Roland tried to use simple words to make Chen Wen understand the characteristics of the Mexican gold-backed spider, why the desert wasp was attacking it, and what the desert wasp was doing at the time.

Soon, Chen Wen realized.

"So you're saying the desert wasp paralyzes these big spiders, lays eggs on them, so when the baby wasps hatch, they have a fresh meal?"

Chen Wen exclaimed, "That's ruthless!"

"Animals are inherently cruel."

Roland replied, matter-of-factly.

"Alright then, this Mexican gold-back, is it edible?"

Chen Wen asked.

Roland hesitated.

Okay, okay, you're even more ruthless than animals!
