Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 2: Extracting Poison


The next morning.

Chen Wen got up early to continue practicing with the crossbow arrow.

Seeing Chen Wen's diligent demeanor,

Yan Bian was quite moved.

As they spent more time together, the mysterious image of Chen Wen gradually became clearer.

He's just a cheerful and healthy young man with good physical strength, quick-witted, skilled in fishing and some survival-related things.

Besides these, there are actually many things Chen Wen is not familiar with either.

For example, how to explore in the rainforest, how to roughly identify animal species, and how to use weapons.

But what terrified Yan Bian was that Chen Wen was constantly learning.

At the camp, he was always learning from everyone.

He learned exploration from Yan Bian, cooking and slaughtering animals from Du Feng, plant identification from Zhuo Hongnian, jointing and woodworking skills from Gan Tieshan, wilderness survival knowledge from Wang Zhi, and from Bai Yachuan...

Well, there's not much to learn from Bai Yachuan.

Chen Wen basically knew what Bai Yachuan knew, and was mostly skilled in what Bai Yachuan wasn't.

Poor Bai.

Yan Bian chuckled as he watched Chen Wen.

This kid will definitely achieve great things in the future!

After all, as long as you learn patiently, there's nothing in this world you can't learn!

Except for math.

That thing requires some talent.

"How is it? Accurate?"

Chen Wen noticed Yan Bian and said with a smile, "Give me another week of practice, and I'll be able to shoot mosquitoes with the crossbow!"

"You're just bragging now."

Yan Bian said with a laugh, then motioned for him to turn off the microphone.

What's up?

Chen Wen was somewhat surprised but still turned off the microphone.

Yan Bian also turned his off and then looked at Chen Wen and said, "Sit down, I have something I want to discuss with you, let's talk for a bit about your future career."

Chen Wen was slightly taken aback but still sat down as instructed.

Yan Bian could be considered a veteran in the outdoor field, and his experience was of reference value.

After thinking for a while, Yan Bian said, "Have you signed a contract with the production team?"

"Yes, I have."

"Long-term or short-term? Is it okay to say?"

Yan Bian was somewhat eager.

Chen Wen smiled and said, "What's the big deal, it's short-term, after filming, I get paid and leave."

Hearing this, Yan Bian breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "You must not sign a long-term contract with the production team, this team... is rubbish!"

Rubbish?

Chen Wen was stunned for a moment. Currently, he felt the production team was quite decent, they paid everything they should, and were quite generous.

"Trust me, this production team was pretty average before. This time they invited a professional director, which is Xiao Yong."

"Oh, Mr. Xiao, I know him."

"Yes, apart from Xiao Yong, the entire production team is rubbish, especially their chief director Xie Yu, who is notorious in the outdoor community."

Organizing his thoughts, Yan Bian continued, "Honestly, if I had known it was a program by Xie Yu, I might not have come. At that time, I came because Xiao Yong invited me, and we had collaborated before."

"As for Xie Yu, this guy has caused the deaths of many outdoor athletes."

"He shot a mountain marathon documentary once, but due to insufficient material preparations, athletes suffered from hypothermia and there were fatalities, more than one!"

Hearing this, Chen Wen's pupils dilated.

He knew about this incident; it was a big deal at the time but was quickly overshadowed by a celebrity scandal.

"In short, this person has connections but not the right character."

Yan Bian said, "I suggest you be very cautious in dealing with him."

Chen Wen nodded slightly.

He was aware now: "What about signing with a live-streaming platform? I find a place to film and survive on my own?"

"That's also feasible. Currently, wild survival streams have a decent viewership in our country, but there are not many top streamers. If one manages to soar, becoming a top streamer is possible."

Yan Bian nodded and said, "I know a wild survival streamer, barely considered a top one; I'll introduce you when the time comes."

Chen Wen was surprised, "A top streamer? Why didn't they join our program?"

Hearing this, Yan Bian's expression was somewhat strange, "She did."

"Oh my god! Who is it? Hidden so well? It can't be Hu!"

Chen Wen said in shock.

Yan Bian laughed and shook his head, "It's an island for women; she's a woman named Hua Yun, and besides her, there are three other survival streamers on the women's island who are quite skilled."

Hearing this, Chen Wen leaned back tactically, "Damn, that's so unfair! With so many streamers, they must be living a vacation life!"

"Who knows, but the difficulty on their side is definitely lower."

Yan Bian said with a laugh, "After this program ends, I'll arrange to meet her, and we can chat."

"Sure, I'd like to hear the opinions of the seniors as well."

Chen Wen nodded and took note of the matter.

But he was also a bit puzzled, "Why bring this up with me suddenly?"

"Just felt like it."

Yan Bian smiled, "I feel you'll definitely become a top expert in wilderness survival in the future. I'm just afraid you'll take the wrong path, giving you a head start. If you remember today, you can take me along then."

"Oh please, what 'taking along'?"

Chen Wen laughed heartily, "Whether I'll be top-tier or not is still uncertain. You're the one truly successful in your career, old Yan. If I can't make it, I'll come to your agency for shelter; don't turn me away."

"Hahaha, no way, if you come, I'll make you a shareholder right away!"

"Oh come on, that's getting more and more ridiculous, let's eat!"

...

Yan Bian's words left Chen Wen somewhat touched.

He had known Yan Bian the longest and spent the most time with him.

Considered most familiar.

Today, Yan Bian talked to him about the future, which made Chen Wen a bit moved.

If not for this conversation, Chen Wen might really have considered signing a long-term contract with the program after this ended,

as they haven't shown their true colors yet.

Forget about that for now; it's most important to focus on surviving well!

Chen Wen rubbed his face; his long beard was a bit prickly.

After a simple meal, Chen Wen and Yan Bian exchanged glances, ready to extract poison.

...

Poison has always been something that instills fear in people.

In ancient times, tribes had already learned to hunt with poison to solve problems.

Today, Chen Wen decided to learn from the tribes and use poison to solve problems as well.

Only he intended to solve problems in the water.

On his way to the poison tree, he found a hard stone and smashed it into pieces on the ground.

He took some sharp shards as knives for extracting poison.

The two of them arrived around the poison tree.

Chen Wen walked around and clicked his tongue in wonder.

As Yan Bian had said, almost nothing grew around this poison tree.

This kind of situation was extremely rare in the dense vegetation of the tropical rainforest.

This made Chen Wen realize the extreme toxicity of the poison tree.

Extracting poison must be done with caution!

Chen Wen took a deep breath.

Recklessness aside, he didn't want to die young.

He pulled out the stone and approached the poison tree.

He gently cut the bark with the stone.

The bark was thick, but under Chen Wen's constant cutting, it quickly formed a slit.

As time passed, milky liquid began to seep from the slit.

This was the potent toxin carried by the poison tree!

Chen Wen carefully took out the crossbow arrows and held them up, evenly covering them with the toxin.

He processed a total of five crossbow arrows.

A few minutes later, Chen Wen carefully took these arrows in his hand and left the poison tree.

"Mission accomplished!"

Chen Wen gave Yan Bian an ok sign, and Yan Bian immediately handed over the prepared bark to Chen Wen.

Wrapping the arrows in bark, then covering them with waterproof cloth.

The two of them simultaneously exhaled in relief.
