Wilderness Survival with Druid System-Chapter 494 - 43: Surprise Attack
Mushroom meat soup, extremely fresh in taste.
The fat of the smoked meat is simmered out over a high flame, then fresh, sweet rabbit meat is added.
The unique smoky flavor and the aroma of the meat are completely infused into the soup.
And the mushrooms further enhance the freshness, making the soup taste excellent even without much seasoning.
Under the tree, Xavier and the other person are eating mushrooms and drinking soup in large mouthfuls.
Even as sweat trickled down their foreheads, they didn’t have the time to wipe it off.
This sight made the few people nearby quite envious.
As those who were captured, they had been starved for several days now and hardly had the strength to walk.
"Delicious!"
After a bowl of meat soup, Xavier’s face showed a satisfied smile: "Your culinary skills are really impressive!"
"It’s mainly the good ingredients,"
Liu Hong replied humbly.
After finishing their meal, the two sat under the tree to slowly digest.
At the same time, they began to discuss their poaching plans.
High up, Chen Wen was waiting to see the effects of the Poison
From the moment he poisoned them to when they ate the mushroom, only a few dozen seconds had passed.
The mushroom couldn’t possibly be cooked in such a short time.
Chen Wen was sure.
Because Liu Ting had told him that the mushroom must be boiled for at least ten minutes to reduce its toxins somewhat.
Which means that eating it now would definitely lead to poisoning!
However, he had no idea when the poisoning would occur or what the symptoms would be.
After waiting for about ten minutes, just when Chen Wen was beginning to think the mushroom’s reputation was undeserved,
Suddenly, Liu Hong said, "Hey, why is there such a large gibbon here?"
"Where?"
Xavier immediately stood up excitedly.
However, after seeing what Liu Hong was pointing at, Xavier immediately shook his head in disappointment: "What kind of joke is this? That’s clearly a wild boar!"
Chen Wen silently watched the piece of wood they were pointing at, lost in thought.
Is this a hallucination?
Liu Hong clicked his tongue, reached out to touch the wood: "Hmm, it doesn’t feel like a gibbon, wait a minute..."
He clutched his forehead and shouted, "No, it’s a hallucination! We’ve been poisoned!"
As expected of a local, quick to react.
Chen Wen thought.
Poisoned?
Xavier laughed heartily: "How is that possible? You’re a local, how could you pick a poisonous mushroom?"
"Hey, why is there an elephant on the tree?"
Xavier chuckled, looked up at the tree, completely immersed in his hallucination.
Liu Hong fumbled through his shirt pocket for a while and pulled out something that looked like a medicine box.
He quickly opened the medicine box, revealing its contents.
A pill similar to those of traditional Chinese medicine, in black ball form.
Liu Hong held out the black ball proudly to Xavier: "This is an antidote, hurry and take it, you’ll feel better after."
Upon hearing this, Xavier also came to his senses.
But he had eaten the most mushrooms, and his symptoms were the most severe at the moment.
He stared at it for a long time, reaching out to take it but couldn’t grasp the pill.
Seeing this, Liu Hong directly poured the pill onto his hand, intending to forcibly feed it to Xavier.
But Chen Wen wasn’t going to let them detoxify.
He leaped down from the tree, activating Swift motion.
Chen Wen, like a hungry tiger lunging for food, boldly struck and knocked Liu Hong to the ground.
The sudden change left everyone stunned.
No one had expected there to be someone hidden in the tree above!
Chen Wen’s target was Xavier, who was in shock.
This guy had a pistol, the only thing that could pose a threat to Chen Wen.
With a reverse punch to Xavier’s nose, the hooked-nosed foreigner instantly fell to the ground clutching his face.
He had no ability to resist at all.
After knocking Xavier down, Chen Wen quickly snatched the pistol from his waist.
"Who are you! Damn it!"
Liu Hong became panicked seeing Xavier’s gun taken.
He quickly grabbed a machete and was about to slash at Chen Wen’s head.
Chen Wen lightly jumped to the right, dodging Liu Hong’s attack.
As soon as he landed,
he sprang up like a fierce tiger, kneeing Liu Hong in the abdomen.
Liu Hong’s face turned pale, feeling as if his insides were churning.
Pain!
He couldn’t hold onto the machete, which clattered to the ground.
After stumbling back a few steps, Liu Hong curled up and fell to the ground.
Clutching his stomach with both hands, he hissed in pain, gasping for breath.
Liu Hong completely lost his ability to resist.
Just as Chen Wen bent down, intending to tie Liu Hong up with rope,
Yan Bian’s voice called from behind: "Be careful, hero!"
Upon hearing that, Chen Wen instinctively rolled to the side. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
In the next moment, there was a scream from Liu Hong and then silence.
What happened?
Chen Wen turned around and saw the previously severely injured Xavier standing up, holding a thick wooden stick.
At this point, the stick had struck where Chen Wen had been standing and on Liu Hong’s shoulder.
Liu Hong had completely passed out, although that might have been for the best as he no longer felt pain.
Xavier vigorously shook his head, his bloodshot eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find Chen Wen.
Soon, he locked eyes with Chen Wen.
"Such high resistance?"
Chen Wen muttered, activating Intimidation.
Xavier shuddered.
He wobbled as he lifted the stick, shouting: "Was it you who knocked out Xie and Little Xie?"
"Who?"
Chen Wen feigned confusion, successfully confusing Xavier.
"Wasn’t it you? No, it was you! Or maybe not, huh?"
Xavier’s already muddled brain from the poisoning became even more confused.
Seeing this, Chen Wen didn’t waste any time.
He jumped lightly, executing a move known as Ground-Springing Up Scallion.
Xavier sensed some movement in front of him and looked over instinctively, only to be met by the Lightning Five-Chain Whip.
This ability enhances the legs, making the first five kicks faster, more accurate, and more forceful.
While in mid-air, Chen Wen rapidly kicked out, hitting Xavier squarely in the stomach.
The first kick caused Xavier to drop the stick in pain.
Then Chen Wen recovered his legs in the air and kicked out again.
The second kick hit Xavier’s chin.
With a cracking sound, Xavier met the same fate as Xie Bing.
The third kick landed on the neck.
Xavier was kicked over, his body uncontrollably falling back.
It wasn’t over yet.
In mid-air, Chen Wen kicked a fourth time, hitting Xavier in the chest.
Accelerating his fall to the ground.
While landing, Chen Wen used a stepping motion to move forward.
He lifted his foot for a horizontal sweep, hitting once again.
Xavier fell headfirst to the ground, completely passing out.
"Damn, is this guy playing King of Fighters?"
A tour guide couldn’t help but say.
Four kicks in the air, landing with a stepping horizontal sweep.
The movement was so smooth, it was just like a combo move set in a video game, leaving him wide-eyed.
Yan Bian was also impressed.
But in his amazement, he looked at Chen Wen with curiosity.
Something about this person’s silhouette and movements felt familiar.
After landing, Chen Wen didn’t have time to talk to everyone.
He took out a rope and tied Xavier’s hands behind his back, making a tight knot.
Not letting the legs off either.
Liu Hong and Xavier received the same treatment.
After tying them up and dragging them under a big tree, Chen Wen finally had time to look at Yan Bian and the others.
At this point, Yan Bian and the others had already gathered together.
Noticing Chen Wen’s gaze, Yan Bian immediately said: "Hero, we’re not with those two, they are poachers, we are just ordinary people who accidentally wandered into the deep mountains and were taken along by them."
Chen Wen slightly smiled, his night vision allowing him to see the tension on Yan Bian’s face clearly.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, do you recognize who I am?"
Yan Bian was taken aback.
There weren’t many people who called him Mr. Yan, and this figure...
Yan Bian stepped closer to the fire, carefully examining Chen Wen’s face.
Moments later, this dirty face matched with a face from his memory: "Damn! Chen Wen?!"
