Wilderness Survival with Druid System-Chapter 418 - 87: Africa Elephant’s Peeking

After finishing the work on the shelter.

Chen Wen held some meat strips, tore them into very small pieces, and fed them to the side-necked turtle.

After these days of feeding, the side-necked turtle was no longer as wary of Chen Wen.

Now, during feeding, it no longer avoided Chen Wen.

This was good news.

After feeding the side-necked turtle, Chen Wen did not forget Leopard the Second, also giving it an extra meal.

The morning passed just like that.

Rest at noon.

By the afternoon, as Leopard the Second began to roar, the script for taming Leopard the First was ready to unfold.

Chen Wen acted as if he knew nothing, glancing at Leopard the Second.

Just then, a leopard’s roar suddenly came from the forest.

Chen Wen immediately acted shocked, grabbing his long spear and standing up.

Leopard the Second roared, seemingly responding to the leopard in the forest.

Soon, accompanied by approaching roars, Leopard the First, hidden for a long time, reappeared.

It looked at Chen Wen with a deeply hostile expression.

Chen Wen also portrayed the word "tense" to perfection.

In front of the camera, Lin Jiawei stood up restlessly.

Was this one of the two leopards?

Leopard the First roared twice at Chen Wen, and Leopard the Second immediately walked over.

The two leopards sniffed each other, taking in each other’s scent.

Chen Wen then explained, "Leopards use scent for identification and socialization. This should be the other leopard that ran away last time. I just don’t know what it’s here for."

"Could it be planning to take away the injured leopard?"

Chen Wen’s award-worthy performance was in full swing.

Under Leopard the Second’s lead, Leopard the First roared at Chen Wen a few more times, but its hostility had noticeably decreased.

Chen Wen immediately took out the prepared kudu meat and began to feed them.

Faced with the lure of food, Leopard the First seemed attracted, coming closer.

Taking advantage of this, Chen Wen stretched out his hand, tentatively beginning to tame it.

After a series of performances, Leopard the First was finally won over.

Chen Wen felt a weight lifted from his heart.

But he also didn’t forget to explain, meaning that he had gained the trust of one leopard, so it wasn’t difficult to gain the trust of the other.

Whether the production team believed it or not, Chen Wen believed it.

When the production team asked again, this was his reply.

Most of the production team believed Chen Wen’s explanation.

After all, there aren’t many humans who can tame wild beasts, and Chen Wen was outstanding among them.

His words were authoritative to most people.

Lin Jiawei let out a sigh of relief, sitting down— as long as Chen Wen was safe, it was fine.

...

With both leopards in hand, Chen Wen was quite relieved.

However, just as he planned to take out the kudu meat to reward his two actors.

Leopard the First, with its sharp senses, suddenly let out a very urgent roar, its body instantly tensing.

Chen Wen was stunned.

He was very sure that Leopard the First was not targeting him.

What could it be?

Just as Chen Wen was shocked, Leopard the Second suddenly roared, "Human! Be careful! It’s that thing that came before!"

Came before?

That elephant!

Chen Wen immediately became tense.

He backhandedly took out his long spear, warily watching the direction the two leopards were facing.

At this moment, Leopard the First was very restless and uneasy.

It kept making hissing noises, its body tense, pacing back and forth, looking like it wanted to flee but didn’t.

Chen Wen didn’t have time to determine what Leopard the First’s behavior meant.

He immediately took out the three smoke grenades he had hastily prepared last night from the shelter, ready to ignite them at any moment.

In this tense waiting, the surrounding environment seemed to grow silent as a result.

Chen Wen and the leopard brothers looked nervously at the large shadow in the distant forest.

They all knew this was the elephant!

Unexpectedly for Chen Wen, the spying elephant did not come closer.

Accompanied by the sound of leaves rustling and branches breaking.

The large shadow slowly retreated, eventually disappearing into the forest.

"Gone."

Chen Wen felt the shadow over his heart disappear.

Coming to his senses, he realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

An adult male elephant brought him immense psychological pressure.

That massive figure gave Chen Wen a sense of invincible fear.

But anyway, the elephant did not come over, that’s a good thing.

Without bothering to soothe the leopard brothers, he immediately took out the drone to search for traces of the elephant.

Soon, through the drone’s screen, Chen Wen saw the elephant.

Not unexpectedly, it was an adult male African elephant.

From its physical condition, Chen Wen could tell it was in heat.

Such African elephants are the most agitated.

"Looks like I’ll need to make more smoke grenades today. Such a giant is difficult to confront."

Chen Wen said, controlling the drone to get a little closer.

Through the drone’s screen, Chen Wen suddenly noticed that the elephant had injuries!

"Strange, this elephant seems to be injured!"

Chen Wen said, looking at the elephant’s eyes, noticing a bright red spot near its eye.

The wound wasn’t large but was very close to the eye, catching Chen Wen’s attention.

Besides, the most serious wound on its body was on the side towards the back, near the rear leg root, moving forward a bit.

Chen Wen took a look, it seemed like a tear caused by a sharp object, nearly twenty centimeters long, depth unknown, but definitely not minor, as the surrounding skin was ripped open.

"This elephant seems to have been harmed by humans."

Chen Wen said.

However, as the drone gradually approached, the elephant seemed alarmed by it, letting out a series of resounding calls.

Chen Wen immediately pulled the drone away, not getting closer.

Then, under the drone’s recording, the elephant slowly walked deep into the forest.

...

The elephant leaving should have been a good thing for Chen Wen.

But at this moment, Chen Wen was not relaxed, instead growing more serious.

Because, having studied elephants, he knew well African elephants are vengeful creatures.

Their memory is excellent, and they even have some emotions.

If other humans had harmed this African elephant, Chen Wen felt he might have to relocate just after settling down.

Unless this African elephant is an especially gentle exception.

If not, he’d either have to deal with this elephant or flee.

"One problem after another."

Chen Wen thought with some frustration.

He just wanted to survive peacefully, but troubles seemed to have conspired, coming at him one after the other.

It’s frustrating!

...

The elephant encounter on Chen Wen’s side hadn’t yet been fully digested by everyone.

Over to the west, Jamie and Adam had another conflict.

Jamie gave up on the idea of continuing to survive, hunting was not his forte.

Without enough food, Jamie felt he couldn’t survive much longer.

Therefore, he went upstream, planning to ambush Adam’s group.

Using a canoe by the water, Jamie located Adam’s camp and launched an attack.

But this time, luck wasn’t on his side.

Adam’s group, familiar with the surroundings, defended the camp and began to fight back.

Jamie fled, and upon reaching the water, he stole Adam’s canoe and went downstream.

Adam’s group saw this and didn’t pursue.

Instead, they packed up their things, then slowly went downstream, heading east.

The distance between the remaining five contestants grew closer.

Now everyone was aware that the final showdown was about to begin!
