Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Upon returning to his sanctuary, Chen Wen’s emotions were in turmoil.

He was well aware of the existence of predecessors among the Druids.

Chen Wen even suspected that there might be other Druids in this world.

However, the words of the moose today left Chen Wen uncertain whether to feel relieved or a bit regretful.

There is only one system.

Which means he is the only existing Druid in the world.

Sigh...

Chen Wen sighed deeply, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

At the same time, he also started to speculate about the future abilities of the system.

To exchange his acquired words with animals to gain the ability to transform into them, as well as their other words.

He had no idea when he would acquire this ability.

It’s worth noting that Chen Wen currently has a word related to longevity.

That word comes from the clam.

If he could obtain this ability, for now, the old wolf and the Northeast Tiger, Big Orange, would need it the most.

However, Big Orange’s situation is a bit special.

Whether this function can be applied to it remains to be seen.

As Chen Wen was lost in random thoughts, outside, accompanied by heavy footsteps, the moose arrived at his camp.

The animals were aware of the moose’s presence.

The old wolf, lying at the doorway, glanced at the moose, feeling a bit uneasy.

This kind of large animal, it had hunted before.

But this particular moose felt different from those it had hunted.

Chen Wen walked past the old wolf and went outside.

The moose glanced at Chen Wen’s sanctuary, somewhat curious.

It asked, ”The place you live is different from where the previous Druid lived. She stayed in a very small house.”

Upon hearing the moose’s description, Chen Wen suddenly understood.

The previous Druid had been clever, bringing a tent directly into the wilderness for her training.

Chen Wen sat cross-legged on the ground, and the moose lay beside him, lowering its head.

Its massive head and antlers swayed in front of Chen Wen.

Chen Wen chatted with the moose about the Druid’s story, and the moose held nothing back in sharing what it knew.

It had lived a long life, but its nature was akin to that of a young person.

After all, during its long life, ninety percent of the time was spent in deep sleep.

After the exchange, Chen Wen learned the basic situation of the Druid.

She was likely a European woman, her profession something like a biologist.

Her name was unknown, but she was active around the late period of the United States’ War of Independence.

She came to Great Slave Lake, partly to search for special animals and acquire words,

and partly to find exotic animals for her employer to take back as pets.

Due to the Greenland sleeper shark’s words, this Druid remained active for quite a long time.

She was active for about one hundred and fifty years, but she might have eventually been killed by humans.

The moose wasn’t sure of the exact situation.

However, the moose could feel a distinct end to its connection with the Druid.

Because the connection between it and the Druid was severed.

Chen Wen had now thoroughly sorted out the moose’s situation, and he was filled with anticipation for the system’s next function.

According to what the moose said,

that Druid had quite a high level.

During her active period, she could directly transform into her animal friends, even while they were still alive.

Most importantly, she could transform into a wide variety of animals.

According to the moose’s description, she could transform into nearly a hundred different animals, which was quite amazing.

After hearing all this, Chen Wen felt quite emotional.

At the end of their exchange, Chen Wen asked the moose some questions about the system’s functions.

The moose told Chen Wen everything it knew.

Such as the fact Chen Wen had never really used [Whisper] and [Tree Speaker].

The moose told Chen Wen that [Whisper] was actually a prefix to [Communication].

And beyond [Tree Speaker], there was an even more powerful function.

The moose was not sure of the specifics.

But it once saw with its own eyes, that Druid strolling among the trees, branches and plants reaching out to her.

The air was filled with a fresh fragrance.

This description left Chen Wen quite envious.

After the communication, Chen Wen gained more understanding of the Druids and a deeper insight into the system.

After finishing the communication,

Chen Wen let the moose rest nearby, while he returned to the sanctuary to take a rest.

...

The next morning.

Chen Wen took the moose for a walk, using the opportunity to continue prying for information.

The moose did not notice Chen Wen’s intentions.

Instead, it started talking about its friends.

Besides the dead brown bear, its friends included a short-tailed weasel, a pike, a giant spruce, and a herd of reindeer.

Unfortunately, these animals either died of old age or by accident.

The spruce tree was also felled about a century ago.

After spending a whole day walking outside with the moose, Chen Wen confirmed that this moose had no issues.

There were no schemes or conspiracies.

Therefore, Chen Wen accepted the moose as he had other special animals.

The moose gladly joined Chen Wen.

At the same time, it offered Chen Wen three words.

Two belonged to itself as top-tier words, and the other was from the Greenland sleeper shark.

[You have received the recognition of a friend. Please extract the words your friend has prepared for you.]

[Your friend—the moose (albino), has prepared a gift for you]

[Extracting... extraction complete!]

[Please choose one of the following three words]

[Snow Disguise (Golden): You will become whiter, and when you’re in the snow, you can actively use this word to change your entire body color to resemble the snow’s color. ps: Active word, each use requires a six-hour recovery time, and this word can only appear on albino moose.]

[Note: Your previous Druid chose this word, saying that white is more beautiful in human aesthetics - Moose (albino)]

[Good Luck (Golden): Your luck will improve greatly, and your heart’s desires will often come true.]

[Note: My luck is very good, perhaps because of the color of my skin? - Moose (albino)]

[Long Sleep (Golden): You can actively use this word, and after using it, enter a ten-month long sleep, greatly reducing your metabolism, decreasing heart rate frequency, and greatly extending your lifespan, but your body size will be fixed and will no longer grow. ps: Active word, after each long sleep, you need to eat to sustain the next long sleep.]

[Note: As you wish, it seems you will choose this word – Moose (albino)]

Without any hesitation, Chen Wen decisively chose [Long Sleep].

This word originated from the Greenland sleeper shark but was also possessed by the moose.

The reason for Chen Wen’s choice of this word was simple.

One was for his own needs, but mainly because the animals needed it.

This word might allow those animals with extremely short lifespans to live longer.

Like the wolf mink, the old wolf, and the Northeast Tiger, Big Orange.

Giving up a top-tier moose word to provide them with a choice was valuable to Chen Wen.

Besides, acquiring the Greenland sleeper shark’s word was not an easy task.

During that Druid’s active time, animal protection was hardly mentioned by anyone.

On this blue planet, all animals belonged to humans.

Humans could handle them however they wished.

The Greenland sleeper shark was captured numerous times, and back then, acquiring this word wasn’t very difficult.

But now it’s different!

One reason is that this creature is not palatable, its meat has certain toxins, and there is no market.

Very few fishermen would go to catch them.

Moreover, protection efforts have also increased.

Thus, choosing this word is undoubtedly valuable!
