Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 4: Treasure Mystery


After the dinner concluded.

Chen Wen returned to his living quarters.

After reviewing some of the Yukon River Basin's information.

He continued reading Kent's book.

This book actually looked quite good.

This time, Chen Wen was reading the story of the group of seven.

[As the gold rush waned, among the first batch to arrive at the Yukon River, some left with abundant gold, while others stayed behind]

[But upon examining the records, I found that the remaining five of the group of seven did not leave, they seem to be searching for something, perhaps a gold treasure, perhaps something else, but regardless, the families of the five continued in the Yukon Territory]

Is it that they're unwilling to give up on the treasure? Is there more to this story?

Chen Wen muttered a sentence.

As for what came later, nothing more was mentioned about the group of five.

Instead, it introduced the food in the Yukon Territory.

Chen Wen flipped through it for a while, and his stomach growled audibly, so he simply closed the book and went to sleep.

But just as he was sleeping.

In one of the hotel's rooms.

Belmont was conversing with Kent.

"Mr. Kent, I'll get straight to the point, I need your help."

Belmont spoke sincerely: "My ancestors once lost something on this land, as his descendants, I am searching for these things. I've read your book, where did you learn about the treasure?"

At hearing this, Kent was somewhat nervous.

After all, standing behind this wealthy man were two strong and burly bodyguards.

Anyone would shiver at such a scene.

Kent carefully recalled and then said: "It was when I was still working, at that time I met an old man in a small town near Klondike who told me about this."

Belmont seemed intrigued.

He leaned slightly forward, smiling, "Is there more?"

"Of course, Mr. Belmont."

Kent's memory was quite good.

He recalled: "I heard him say, he guarded that small town for decades, just to find the treasure, I thought he was joking or one of those who lived in their own fantasy."

"But apparently he got drunk and invited me to his home, putting those ancient scrolls in front of me, I could feel, those ancient manuscripts were real, but before I took detailed notes of the information on those ancient scrolls, the old man seemed to get angry."

"He angrily threw those ancient manuscripts into the fireplace, cursing his ancestors, and then I was kicked out of his room."

Belmont nodded slightly, and asked, "Do you remember his name?"

"I don't remember, Mr. Belmont."

Kent was somewhat anxious at this moment: "I didn't exchange names with that old man."

Belmont, hearing this, shook his head with some regret.

"If I'm not mistaken, that man should be a descendant of one of my ancestor's brothers. It's a pity."

At this moment, Kent nervously asked, "Mr. Belmont, if I may ask about the treasure..."

"It's real."

Belmont replied with a smile: "To be honest, this has been a secret passed down in our family for years. I've also been trying to find traces of that gold in history, but sadly, I've never heard or seen anyone else know about that period of history, until you appeared."

"Had I met you earlier, I might have funded your continued research to find those treasures, but..."

I can't wait any longer!

Belmont said no more but gestured with a finger.

One of the bodyguards immediately took Kent away.

"Sir, he didn't lie."

Another bodyguard whispered.

"I know, Kent is just an old historian who only knows research, he's not a key player."

Belmont was a bit impatient.

He quickly said: "This time, using the opportunity of these people filming the show, send people to seek along the midpoint of the Yukon River!"

"The place where the two who hid the items disappeared at last was there, even without a map, we must find it!"

"Hehe, I had not organized a large-scale search earlier because I'm not the only one eyeing these items. Using the program's filming now, though, allows for a large-scale search, let them proceed."

Belmont sneered lightly and continued: "Ludwig definitely did not tell the truth; he surely knows something. After all, his ancestor was closest with those two. Have Hank keep an eye on him!"

"Understood."

"The weather hasn't been too cold these days, so have people inspect the key areas. Of course, make sure our real purpose is not discovered by outsiders."

"Understood, sir."

...

Chen Wen was unaware of what went on outside the show.

During these remaining days, he continuously studied survival, and kept deliberating over selecting the entries.

This was his first time surviving in such a cold region, with wildlife being more dangerous than during his previous survival challenges.

The choice of entries is crucial.

Eventually, Chen Wen spent nearly all 439 of his Inheritance Points to formulate a good set of entries.

And with the initial filming concluded, the survival officially began.

On the day the official filming started.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun received their props.

The program's prop quality was good; there were no issues with the props.

Abel clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Well, in five minutes, our survival officially begins. Next, everyone proceed according to sequence to different helicopters."

"The helicopters will transport everyone to various locations, you are to await the start signal on the snowy mountains, and only move after the signal is emitted."

"In short, I hope everyone can go farther."

Once Abel finished speaking, everyone bent forward to enter the helicopter cabin.

"Let's go."

Chen Wen looked at the hotel, inhaled deeply.

What miraculous creatures will this survival encounter this time, what stories will unfold?

...

The helicopter flew very quickly.

"Without a trash talk session, it feels like something's missing."

Chen Wen couldn't help but mutter while on the helicopter.

The nearby Hua Yun rolled her eyes.

Chen Wen's previous trash talk had been immensely impacting.

Not only impacting those contestants, but even causing some effects abroad.

Now, the 'Black father' meme and the 'Clam' meme are wildly popular on overseas platforms.

Countless videos playing on these memes are abundant.

This led to Chen Wen gaining numerous fans overseas.

This is before the Desert Death Battle has even aired.

Once it airs, Chen Wen's displayed strength and the miraculous Beast Taming ability shown on the program will surely attract a large fanbase.

Chen Wen might just become famous overseas first.

Hua Yun looked at Chen Wen and couldn't help but think to herself.

Right at this moment, the helicopter reached the designated location.

The staff on the helicopter released the rope and turned to Chen Wen: "Hey, we've arrived; you two head down."

Because of the snow on the mountain, the helicopter couldn't fly too low.

Contestants had to descend via the rope to land.

After recent days of training, contestants with inherently good physical condition had already mastered the techniques of rope descent.

Chen Wen didn't delay, directly securing his safety buckle, gripping the rope with one hand.

Swoosh~ In an instant, under the astonished gaze of the staff member, he swiftly landed on the ground.

Very good!

Chen Wen gave a thumbs up to those above.

The staff shook his head and turned to Hua Yun: "Go down slower, don't rush like this young man."

Hua Yun nodded and slowed her descent.

After the pair landed, confirming both were fine, the helicopter decisively flew away.

Leaving the two alone on the snowy mountain.

"Hey, this place is really nice!"

Chen Wen looked around, somewhat elated.

Hua Yun slightly nodded.

Snowy mountains are always majestic.

Pure white snow covers the ridge, lying across the land like a silver dragon.

From a high vantage point, one can clearly see the boundary between tundra and snow, the snow line.

A single line delineating two worlds.

Below the snow line is the vibrant tundra area.

On the opposite side of the line is the high-altitude, oxygen-deficient death zone.

And Chen Wen and Hua Yun stood at the highest point of the death zone, overlooking this land.
