Wilderness Survival with Druid System-Chapter 482 - 31: Taming the Wild Boar

Sss!

In elephant form, Chen Wen let out a deafening trumpet, his deep eyes staring at the now extremely small wild boar.

He slowly stepped forward, and the surrounding branches creaked as they were pushed aside by his massive body.

Under the immense pressure from elephant-shaped Chen Wen, the wild boar struggled to withstand the force.

It snorted fiercely, taking on a desperate fighting stance.

But as the wild boar initiated its attack, a trunk thicker than a fire hose wrapped around the wild boar.

"Wow, isn’t this basically a third arm?"

In elephant form, Chen Wen buzzed and pinned the wild boar firmly to the ground with his trunk.

The wild boar fought back valiantly, but with a little more force, Chen Wen easily controlled it.

"I give up!"

The wild boar admitted defeat faster than France could raise a white flag.

There’s no way to fight!

A wave of sorrow washed over the wild boar’s heart.

With wisdom, it could analyze the current situation.

It thought it might stand a chance against the bipedal Chen Wen, but saw no hope against the elephant form.

Chen Wen released his grip with the trunk, speaking slowly: "Admit defeat? Will you follow me in the future?"

Grinding its teeth, the wild boar replied, "Room and board are included!"

"Of course!"

Chen Wen said.

Since he could afford to keep a hippo, a wild boar was no problem.

A life-and-death fight ended so quickly.

No animal saw it coming.

Seeing the outcome, three bobcats jumped down from the trees onto Chen Wen’s back.

The bobcat knew of Chen Wen’s abilities.

It wasn’t too surprised but curiously stepped on the broad back of elephant-shaped Chen Wen: "Is this a new ability you learned when you went to Caprivi?"

"Yes."

In elephant form, Chen Wen buzzed in response.

The clouded leopard curiously scratched the back of elephant-shaped Chen Wen: "So hard! How did you do it?"

Meanwhile, the yellow-throated marten stood atop Chen Wen’s head, arrogantly declaring, "Ha-ha! If we team up, we’re invincible!"

Seriously, what kind of memory did this yellow-throated marten learn!

In elephant form, Chen Wen steadied his massive body, using his trunk to help the wild boar lying on the ground to its feet.

He gestured for the animals on his back to come down.

After all, the weight of an African elephant wasn’t suited for surviving in the rainforest and swamps.

With a transformation, Chen Wen returned to his human form.

Approaching the wild boar, Chen Wen extended his hand, regardless of injury, directly giving it a blessing of an [Animal Doctor].

The wild boar felt the warmth from Chen Wen’s hand and gradually relaxed.

In a deep voice, it said, "I accept defeat and will listen to you from now on. Why are you here? Were those people we encountered earlier your friends?"

The wild boar’s words surprised Chen Wen.

Those people we passed by earlier?

"You’ve seen other humans?"

Chen Wen quickly asked.

The wild boar nodded: "Yes, it was a group of people, and they had many iron cages. I saw them from a distance not long ago."

Not long ago...

"Can you take me to find them?"

Chen Wen asked.

The wild boar shook its head: "They’ve gone far, I’m not sure if we can catch up."

Come on, how long is your "not long ago" anyway?

Chen Wen sighed helplessly.

Since chasing them wasn’t likely, there was no rush.

Chen Wen calmly sat back under a tree: "Then let’s rest for a while, and wait for the crested hawk to bring back news before we act."

After discovering the kindling piled in the cave, Chen Wen concluded that this group of poachers definitely had fire with them.

So he sent the crested hawk to fly ahead to the mountains to scout the situation.

Since it hadn’t returned yet, it was a good time to rest.

The wild boar approached Chen Wen slowly: "What about food?"

Room and board were the major motivation for the wild boar to join Chen Wen.

"There’s not much food now."

Chen Wen awkwardly squeezed his backpack, not sure if the meat inside was wild boar meat.

If he took it out and the wild boar said it tasted familiar, it wouldn’t be good.

Upon hearing, the wild boar didn’t get mad. It just asked, "Okay, I see you don’t have much, but when can I have food?"

"Once I catch up with those people, and then leave this forest."

Chen Wen said.

Hearing Chen Wen’s words, except for the bobcat, the other animals froze for a moment.

"You’re leaving this forest?"

The yellow-throated marten asked.

The clouded leopard’s eyes also flickered with hesitation: "If you leave, should we go with you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen immediately said, "That depends on your decision. If you come with me, I assure you I can provide an environment almost identical to this rainforest."

"But if you don’t want to leave, you can stay in the mountains, and I’ll find time to visit you. Each time I’ll bring a lot of food, but not too much."

Chen Wen’s words plunged the animals into hesitation once again.

However, unexpectedly, the wild boar was the first to finish pondering.

It grunted and said, "As long as there’s enough to eat, I’ll go with you!"

With that, the wild boar directly acknowledged Chen Wen.

[You have gained the approval of a friend, please claim the entry your friend prepared for you]

[Your friend—the wild boar, has prepared a gift for you]

[Extracting... Extraction complete!]

[Please choose one of the following three entries]

[Thick Skin (Gold): Enhances skin flexibility, increases skin thickness, and if injured, you’ll feel less pain]

[Note: Look at you now, with your delicate skin, you can’t take damage. Better learn from me. This armor-like skin is refined over time! —Wild Boar]

[Giant Growth (Purple): Significantly increases the size after transformation when using a transformation entry]

[Note: Even though you’re small now, you occasionally grow. I think you may need this —Wild Boar]

[Frightening Appearance (Purple): Your appearance gradually becomes ugly and fierce. Most animals will feel fear and dread upon seeing you and will instinctively avoid you]

[Note: What’s the use of being good-looking? To survive in the forest, you must induce fear in animals that see you! —Wild Boar]

Looking good does have its uses in human society.

Chen Wen couldn’t help but think.

Although the wild boar’s three entries were okay, they weren’t essential for Chen Wen.

[Thick Skin] was useful, but the lack of pain perception made Chen Wen hesitant.

In wilderness survival, skin sensitivity is also important.

If stung by a poisonous bug or plant, combined with numbed skin, you could be poisoned without knowing.

Similarly, being unaware of an injury could lead to an infection worsening.

This could result in a bad situation due to a lack of timely response.

These are considerations for Chen Wen.

[Frightening Appearance] requires no further explanation.

It’s useful for animals but not for humans.

Moreover, Chen Wen is somewhat of a public figure, and his face is recognized online.

Thus, the not-so-special [Giant Growth] became Chen Wen’s choice.

After selecting, the wild boar glanced at Chen Wen.

It mused: Why not choose the third one?

Wouldn’t it be good to scare other animals?

After choosing the entry, the clouded leopard and yellow-throated marten also made their decision.

"We’re coming with you too!"

The clouded leopard said: "As long as it’s safe."

"Safety guaranteed, just ask the bobcat."
