Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 116: Hunting Moose


Even though it's unclear how this gray bear learned the language of the wolves, the wolf king still expressed submission.

After all, the other's howl was authentically in the accent of the wolf tribe.

The wolf pack is relatively inclusive; as long as it's a creature and follows the rules of the wolf pack, it's possible to be accepted.

Chen Wen knew this.

He had seen animal research experts blend into wolf packs in the past, even integrating into the packs for study.

It was with this idea in mind that he approached the wolf pack.

To see if the wolf pack would submit.

As Chen Wen walked past each wolf, all of them expressed submission.

In the assembly of North American gray wolves, there's a wolf queen.

The wolf queen wasn't very big, and Chen Wen had no intention of disrupting the relationship of the small couple.

After inspecting the wolf pack, he opened the system.

[Extracting system for natural creation—North American gray wolf!]

[Extracting... extraction complete!]

[Please choose one from the following three entries]

[Lone Wolf (Purple): You excel at surviving while wandering, with enhanced survival abilities when alone]

[Note: We wolves are famous wanderers; every wolf king has walked the path of the lone wolf! —North American Gray Wolf]

[Opportunism (Blue): You are an opportunist, more skilled at finding the old, weak, and sick in animal groups; when attacking them, they will feel fear and find it difficult to resist]

[Note: If you don't target the weakest point, do you plan to get a head full of bumps? —North American Gray Wolf]

[Shedding (Blue): Every spring, you will lose large patches of fur]

[Note: Even wolves have their worries! Spring is often our awkward month! —North American Gray Wolf]

[Please make your choice or abandon within one minute! Otherwise, the first entry will be automatically chosen!]

The entries this time were average.

Chen Wen chose the entry [Lone Wolf] to enhance his individual survival ability.

[Opportunism] wasn't worth exchanging for, as humans are naturally opportunists.

Even without an entry, he could find old, weak, and sick animals.

As for resistance?

Chen Wen felt that any prey he set his sights on would find it hard to resist him.

After making his choice, Chen Wen looked at the wolf pack.

Regardless of whether the wolf pack could understand, Chen Wen howled twice: "Let's go, take you hunting, have a full meal. Golden Eagle, go check out what big prey there is nearby!"

The Golden Eagle on the tree shivered.

Even though it knew the gray bear was Chen Wen, it still felt a bit scared.

With a whoosh, the Golden Eagle took flight.

Chen Wen didn't fly anymore but retracted his wings.

The wings in bear form were just too large.

Chen Wen glanced at the lead wolf, signaling it to follow.

Although the lead wolf couldn't understand Chen Wen's message, it could sense this new leader seemed ready to lead them into action.

Thus, the lead wolf gave the order, starting the wolf pack into action.

The wolf pack mobilized, forming a straight line in the usual manner of their actions, following behind Chen Wen.

Even the footprints were stepping into Chen Wen's.

In the forest, if any biologist studying wolf behavior saw this scene, they would undoubtedly exclaim that biology no longer existed.

For a gray bear was leading a pack of gray wolves on a hunt.

And the gray wolf pack was quite obedient to this new leader not of their kind.

...

With the assistance of the Golden Eagle, finding prey became extremely easy.

The Golden Eagle quickly perched on the bear-formed Chen Wen, saying, "On the ridge not far away, there's a herd of moose, and there's not much cover there."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen was taken aback.

Wow, such good news.

He turned to look at the following gray wolf, a gray-white one.

The gray wolf sensed Chen Wen's gaze and shivered a bit.

"The wolf pack's hunting success rate isn't high, let alone with moose; just let them follow and eat later,"

Chen Wen said.

As for moose, Chen Wen only obtained a tame entry.

The hunting entry he never acquired, so this was a perfect chance to win over the wolves and gain one.

A moment later.

At the edge of the dense forest, Chen Wen stopped.

Further ahead was the moose herd.

The moose herd was already somewhat wary, but they hadn't chosen to flee.

Instead, they attentively raised their ears, listening to the surrounding sounds.

Being nearsighted, they mostly rely on hearing and smell to determine danger.

"I'll hunt a moose; you all stay put here, don't move."

Upon finishing, Chen Wen leapt skyward in his bear form, with massive wings stirring up a whirlwind.

"So cool!"

The Golden Eagle perched on the pine tree looked at the massive expanded wings with envious eyes near tears.

Through the gust of wind, Chen Wen descended from above, directly pouncing on the alert moose.

The moose never anticipated an attack from the sky.

Chen Wen swooped down, using the momentum of the dive, slapped a male moose's neck into a strange arc.

Crack!

Bones broke and muscles tore!

In bear form, Chen Wen was virtually a reaper to the moose.

The male moose instantly fell dead.

Chen Wen turned, targeting a slightly larger female moose.

Fearing the wolves wouldn't eat enough, he reached out again, grabbing at the female moose's hind leg.

The female moose tried to run but couldn't escape.

Down below, the wolf pack, recovering from shock, rushed forward rapidly.

Their strong sense of teamwork was vividly displayed, maintaining formation even while charging.

Chen Wen held down the female moose, inspecting it briefly.

The wolf pack's charge had three teams; the vanguard at the front, consisting of young members, led by two core wolves.

They should be responsible for chasing the herd and selecting the weak.

The second echelon, led by the wolf king, was the main combat force of the pack.

They should be principal attackers after locating the target.

The third echelon comprised some old and female wolves, possibly as reserves.

This cooperative team hunting was quite effective.

However, compared to Chen Wen's formidable combat power, it was of no real use.

By the time the wolf pack arrived, the female moose had already been torn open by Chen Wen, slipping slowly into death.

Chen Wen reverted from his transformation.

He looked at the wolves crowding around him, unconcerned.

The wolves, though curious, recognized him as the gray bear leader.

Thus, they did not make any more moves.

Seeing the wolves surrounding him like a group of big dogs,

Chen Wen suddenly felt an illusion of returning to a past life, helping out at a friend's kennel.

"Alright, if everything's fine, let's eat!"

Chen Wen said, but the wolves made no move.

Scratching his head, Chen Wen suddenly recalled wolf behavior documentaries he had seen.

These creatures seemed to have a very strict hierarchy; lower-ranking wolves wouldn't move until the higher-ranking ones finished eating.

So Chen Wen casually found a rock, split it open, and with its sharp edge, carved open the moose's chest.

He took out the bloody moose heart, intending to cook it later.

The pot was still with him.

Additionally, he cut about five pounds of leg meat, planning to bring some to the Snowy Owl and lynx.

After taking the meat he wanted, Chen Wen moved away from the moose.

The lead wolf was stunned; it hadn't expected the new leader to eat so little.

Seeing the lead wolf still inactive, Chen Wen approached, dragging it to the moose's side.

The lead wolf was startled.

This new leader's way of letting them eat was truly...

But no matter what, having food was what mattered!
