Haha, what a surprise.

Chen Wen looked at the entry, a bit surprised.

Of course, he absolutely wasn't talking about [Bear Blunder] and [Massacre Offspring].

Both of these entries are purely negative, one is extremely brutal.

Chen Wen decisively chose not to select them.

However, the golden [Three Bear Skills] was something Chen Wen really liked.

Running, climbing trees, and swimming are all quite useful skills.

This is like three wishes fulfilled all at once!

An animal version of the Kinder Surprise Egg!

[Where's the sponsorship?]

The bonus from the golden entry is naturally not low, especially since it has a secondary enhancement.

When being chased, speed up directly.

If you really encounter an unbeatable danger, make a reverse escape.

It will absolutely give a scare!

In short, this entry is definitely sufficient among the golden ones.

Closing the system, Chen Wen looked towards the North American reindeer.

"We'll try to train it to pull a sled in the next couple of days. With this weather, we might leave the valley the day after tomorrow or the day after that."

Hearing this, the Golden Eagle excitedly said, "Are we continuing forward? I've been bored to death staying here."

They are definitely going forward, but the journey will likely be much more boring than surviving here.

Chen Wen shook his head, but didn't burst the Golden Eagle's bubble of optimism.

...

Hua Yun returned around dusk.

As soon as she arrived at the campfire, she quickly stretched out her hands to warm them.

She also took off her wet shoes.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Chen Wen quickly asked.

Basking in the warmth, Hua Yun let out a comfortable sigh.

She said helplessly, "I went to check on the river ice, it seemed quite thick, and many places can be walked on, so I thought of jumping to see if it could hold more weight, but unexpectedly I jumped onto a fragile ice patch."

"Luckily only my shoes got wet, not me."

Hearing this, Chen Wen said, "Let's wait another couple of days. Even if the ice isn't walkable by then, we can still walk on the snow, it's accumulated quite thickly after all this snowfall."

Their sled can be used on both ice and snow, so it's not a big problem.

Hua Yun nodded, "That's the only way, what are your plans for the next couple of days?"

Hearing this, Chen Wen shared his previous plans with Hua Yun.

Upon hearing that Chen Wen was going to train the reindeer to pull the sled, Hua Yun immediately became interested.

Chen Wen's greatest ability is taming animals.

She's quite curious about this.

Therefore, Hua Yun plans to take this opportunity to see if she can learn something.

She offered to help.

Chen Wen naturally agreed.

...

Yukon River.

The fastest ones, Hank and Ludwig, had already reached the end of the first stretch of the Yukon River.

After such a long trek, describing their condition now as haggard is quite fitting.

Hank was still okay, having adapted to such intensity after long-term hiking.

Ludwig, however, was so thin he was unrecognizable.

"Can we eat something? I'm starving!"

Ludwig said pitifully.

After selling fur at the first town, they had exchanged almost all their money for food.

Ludwig thought he'd be able to eat his fill during the subsequent hikes.

But he never expected Hank, with his rich hiking experience, to propose a strict daily food intake plan.

According to Hank's plan, the two could only eat two meals a day, and the food had to be rationed.

Maybe not as precise as to the gram, but not far off either.

This left the inexperienced Ludwig quite desperate.

Hearing this, Hank licked his lips.

He looked at the map given by the program crew, silently calculating the upcoming route.

Finally, Hank nodded, "Let's scout the surroundings and see if we can find any animals or something else to eat, and have a bigger meal tonight."

To be honest, Hank already regrets taking on this job.

It's pure torture!

Hearing this, Ludwig sighed deeply.

For the sake of gold, he endured!

...

Training the reindeer to learn to pull the sled.

This isn't too difficult.

Chen Wen moved the assembled sled out of the shelter, then placed almost all the meat on it.

"Wow, we really have so much food stored up!"

Seeing the sled brimming with food, Chen Wen couldn't help but remark.

Hua Yun nodded in agreement.

This sled is entirely filled with meat; if distributed according to game data,

it would be enough to last until the end of their survival!

And it also includes food for the lynx and the Golden Eagle.

After appreciating the food,

Chen Wen covered it with animal skins, then overlaid it with fishing nets, making sure the food wouldn't fall off during bumpy rides.

Next, he took out two ropes.

He tied knots in the ropes, securing the reindeer to the sled.

Then, under Hua Yun's watchful eyes, the reindeer exerted its strength.

The sled didn't budge.

...

"Cough, cough, maybe there's too much food?"

Chen Wen coughed awkwardly, removing some food.

Then, he once again led the reindeer forward.

This time it was better, the sled shook slightly.

"Maybe we were too greedy..."

Hua Yun helplessly laughed, "Indeed, there's too much, especially the raw meat, it takes up a lot of space."

This time, Chen Wen removed all the raw meat.

Leaving only the smoked meat.

The volume and weight of raw meat decrease a lot after being made into smoked meat.

So, once the heaviest raw meat was removed,

the reindeer easily pulled the sled.

"The sled's fine, the only problem is the raw meat."

After carefully inspecting the sled, Chen Wen gave his opinion: "Now we either smoke a large portion dry, or discard a small portion."

Discarding it is out of the question.

Hua Yun waved her hand, "Let's keep smoking the meat!"

...

Time passed slowly.

On the twentieth day of survival.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun's group finally started their long trek.

"Let's go!"

With a shout, Chen Wen dismantled the shelter they lived in for over ten days.

As the shelter made of sticks and pine needles collapsed with a crash, they were about to leave this valley.

The moose pulled the sled, with Chen Wen and Hua Yun's supplies, as well as the lynx and the Golden Eagle, on it.

According to the plan, Hua Yun went ahead, using a snow stick to scout the way.

Chen Wen followed behind, guiding the reindeer pulling the supplies.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, dragged the sled to the riverside.

"Let's go, the ice is quite solid now."

Hua Yun jumped onto the ice surface, stomping hard.

Yesterday, they had checked the ice conditions here.

This section of the river has ice thickness exceeding fifteen centimeters now.

The entire Yukon River has completely entered its frozen phase.

And humans can walk freely on such thick ice.

Reindeer are not strangers to walking on icy surfaces.

During their annual migrations, they traverse large areas of ice.

Although they sometimes slip, steady walking is fairly simple.

As for the two humans in the team,

Snow covering the ice, both of them have skiing experience, so walking on it isn't a problem.

And so, the journey of Chen Wen and his group began.
