Wilderness Survival with Druid System-Chapter 410 - 79: Two Blossoms

Feng Zhong’s performance caught Lin Jiawei’s attention.

Was this a sudden adrenaline surge?

He glanced around and saw no one was paying attention to them.

He checked the association’s internal records on Feng Zhong and quickly found a sentence.

[Feng Zhong’s strength increases significantly when angry, but he trembles all over afterward.]

Indeed, a candidate with an adrenaline rush.

Lin Jiawei thought.

But if such a candidate were to face Chen Wen head-on, who would win?

After all, there can only be one champion. Lin Jiawei had nothing else to do, so he started analyzing the odds of Chen Wen against Feng Zhong. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Analyzing again and again, Lin Jiawei felt that as long as Chen Wen could withstand Feng Zhong’s outburst, he would definitely win!

Against such a candidate who seemed to have suddenly taken a stimulant, a defensive counterattack would be more appropriate.

...

On Feng Zhong’s side.

After dragging the Nile crocodile ashore, before his strength waned, he quickly grabbed another long spear.

He held the long spear high, its tip aiming at the Nile crocodile.

Taking a deep breath, he thrust!

The spear pierced through the Nile crocodile’s scales, making it struggle violently.

Feng Zhong had done some research on the Nile crocodile’s anatomy as well.

He pulled out the spear and aimed for the vital spot to stab again.

This time the Nile crocodile struggled for just a moment, then gradually lost its strength.

It was dead!

Feng Zhong trembled all over, retreated half a step, and sat down on the ground.

So tired!

But anyway, he seized a Nile crocodile!

Feng Zhong’s face radiated an excited glow.

After all, for a hunter adept at using traps, it was quite an experience to occasionally finish off the prey by hand.

...

On Chen Wen’s side.

After maintaining the pressing position for a full hour, he cautiously released his hand.

"It’s cooled down."

Chen Wen said, "I believe everyone can see that the damaged canoe has now been considerably restored."

"The broken end has lifted again, making it hard for water to get in. Next, as long as we repair the surroundings, we can try launching it!"

Saying this, Chen Wen’s tone carried some excitement.

This was his first formal attempt, and it was a success!

Luck really was on my side!

Chen Wen thought.

He also remembered his entry – [Woodland Elf].

The place he was in was precisely woodland; this entry’s luck boost should be at work.

The following repair work was not difficult.

What Chen Wen needed to do was remove the excess wood from the sides of the lifted canoe.

With an axe, this work was quite simple.

Additionally, he needed to refurbish and smooth the bottom to make it less angular.

Eventually, when Feng Zhong brought back the whole Nile crocodile,

The canoe was almost fully repaired by Chen Wen.

"Whoa, a good start!"

Chen Wen exclaimed with surprise when he saw Feng Zhong dragging the crocodile.

Feng Zhong’s face showed excitement but also a bit of frustration.

Chen Wen knew clearly it might not have been a particularly smooth hunt this time.

As expected, after putting down the Nile crocodile, Feng Zhong said, "I caught it, but I also got hit."

Chen Wen looked Feng Zhong up and down, noticing no visible injuries.

"My back, have a look for me."

Feng Zhong said as he lifted his shirt to let Chen Wen check.

"Hiss! How did you... get injured like this?"

Seeing the straight, red mark on Feng Zhong’s back, Chen Wen could hardly restrain his laughter.

Feng Zhong shook his head, regretting, "I underestimated the force of the death roll, my fault. I thought this thing moved slowly on land, so I didn’t care. Who knew it would lash me hard with the rope."

Chen Wen smiled.

Serves you right.

What did I say at the time?

However, he still said, "You can’t overlook it; the Nile crocodile’s weight is there, even if it moves slowly, the strength is significant, and you must deal with it cautiously."

"Next time for sure."

Feng Zhong said while looking at the repaired canoe, excitedly exclaiming, "Did it succeed?"

"Yes, it succeeded."

Chen Wen said, dragging the canoe in front of him, "For now, we just need to test it in the water. If it works, we can start looking for people tomorrow."

"Alright, let’s give it a try this afternoon. Don’t forget to add a groove so your hippo can tow it."

Chen Wen slapped his forehead.

Nearly forgot the most crucial step.

"I’ll work overtime. You can cut the crocodile into strips and smoke it in the smoker. Once dry, it’ll be easier to carry."

Chen Wen said.

Feng Zhong gave an ’okay’ gesture and began dismembering the Nile crocodile with a machete.

Watching Feng Zhong’s technique, Chen Wen nodded in approval.

His technique was quite good, handling it proficiently.

The vice chairman indeed had capabilities.

...

As Chen Wen finished processing the groove, Feng Zhong had also prepared the crocodile meat and smoked the first batch.

Taking advantage of the noon time, the two hid in the shade to eat and plan and revise the subsequent actions.

For now, their primary objective was the same.

Build a canoe and take supplies to search for other survivors.

The nearest group, Vanessa’s, was among their targets.

However, before that, they had to test the canoe.

In the afternoon.

Chen Wen and Feng Zhong brought the canoe to the riverbank.

Under the hippo’s gaze, they placed it in the water.

Honestly, both were quite anxious.

After all, for the canoe to float, it relied on balance.

This time they took out one-fifth of the canoe, disrupting its balance.

If it tilted heavily, it would be embarrassing.

Additionally, Chen Wen worried about the burnt curving spots.

He feared it might leak.

Being the first time he bent wood, the smooth process still left Chen Wen a bit unsettled.

But soon, their worries dissipated into thin air,

The canoe wobbled on the water, slanted slightly but did not sink.

The joints were watertight and solid as a rock.

Seeing this, Chen Wen was very relieved.

His efforts hadn’t been in vain. It was possible!

And Feng Zhong beamed with joy.

See, see!

Cooperating with Chen Wen back then was such a wise decision, wasn’t it?

If it weren’t for initiating contact, who knows where they’d be holed up now?

But now it’s completely different!

With the canoe’s support and Chen Wen’s addition, he was certain to eliminate more survivors before the survival ended!

Feng Zhong looked at Chen Wen and said, "Shall we prepare supplies and eliminate others?"

"Hmm... alright!"

After a slight consideration, Chen Wen agreed to Feng Zhong’s proposal.

The two planned to prepare supplies today and head west tomorrow, eliminating any contender they encounter!

...

After testing, Chen Wen made some adjustments based on the canoe’s performance.

The main concern was balancing the center of gravity to keep the canoe steady.

He attempted to add some weight to the other side of the canoe,

But the results were mediocre.

Finally, after discussing with Feng Zhong, they cautiously shaved some wood from the other side, thereby leveling the canoe.
