Chapter 1040 - 59: Night Hunt

In the darkness, Chen Wen walked slowly with Hua Yun and Roland.

Tonight was a rare good weather; under the moonlight, the forest path was faintly visible.

Chen Wen walked vigilantly; his perception ability was strong.

In the moonlight, Chen Wen could see the surroundings almost as clearly as in a cloudy daytime.

"Be careful, there’s a small pit in front."

Chen Wen reminded the two, and simultaneously, he activated the entry [Gua Fragrance].

As soon as the entry was activated, a rich melon fragrance wafted out.

Hua Yun took a deep sniff, murmuring, "I seem to smell something like honey melon fragrance, do you two sense it?"

Upon hearing, Roland nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, it seems it’s wafting from the front. Are there melons growing on this land?"

Chen Wen said without any movement in his eyelids, "Maybe some plants with fragrance similar to fruits are here. I smell it too, it’s strong, but now is not the time to look for that stuff."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun and Roland immediately realized their main aim now was to eliminate the wild Wolf Mink.

Thus, they no longer dwelled on the melon fragrance issue.

Just at this moment, a hooting sound suddenly echoed from a distance.

This was the Snowy Owl’s sound, signaling to Chen Wen that it had reached the area where the wild Wolf Minks were.

"We’re almost at the area where those wild Wolf Minks are; don’t speak from now on. Use the body language we discussed to communicate."

Chen Wen immediately said.

Hua Yun and Roland immediately hushed and took out their bows and arrows.

After walking for dozens of meters.

The Snowy Owl emitted another hoot, but compared to the previous call, this one was shorter.

Hua Yun raised an eyebrow; did the Snowy Owl discover something else?

As if proving her guess.

In front, Chen Wen immediately whispered, "The Wolf Mink is nearby; I’ll report the position next."

With that, Chen Wen gently closed his eyes.

He used the system’s function—[Shared Vision].

In the darkness, Chen Wen’s consciousness seemed to leave his body and enter the body of the Snowy Owl.

Soon, the scene seen by the Snowy Owl appeared in Chen Wen’s mind.

Unlike Chen Wen’s vision, the forest seen by the Snowy Owl was fairly bright.

It was somewhat like watching a black-and-white TV, also reminiscent of an old-fashioned night vision device.

Although there was no color, the view was quite clear.

At this moment, through the Snowy Owl’s shared vision, Chen Wen spotted him, Hua Yun, and Roland within the forest.

Meanwhile, centered around the three of them, about 30 meters northwest in the bushes, there was a small dark beast.

It seemed to sense something, curling up cautiously behind the bushes, motionless.

Found it!

Chen Wen opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing across them.

He reached out, attracting Hua Yun and Roland’s attention.

Roland felt stirred, slowly raising his bow and arrow, followed by Hua Yun.

With the Snowy Owl’s shared vision, Chen Wen assessed the position of the Wolf Mink.

Soon, he locked onto it.

Chen Wen gently waved his hand, signaling the two to aim at the Wolf Mink’s location.

He whispered like a mosquito, "This direction, 30 meters away, the lower right corner of the bushes, close to the ground, shoot!"

Hua Yun and Roland found it hard to believe; how did Chen Wen make such a judgment?

Did he truly know there was a Wolf Mink over there?

But Hua Yun still picked up the bow and arrow, slowly drawing the bowstring.

Seeing Hua Yun’s action, Roland could only set aside his doubts and begin aiming.

Once the two were ready, Hua Yun whispered, "Release!"

Both of them simultaneously released the bowstring.

Buzz~

Accompanied by the vibrating sound of the bowstring, the arrows flew out like a swarm of locusts.

The two were wondering if this attempt would be futile.

Suddenly.

From behind the bushes, the Wolf Mink that had been lying quietly suddenly let out a miserable cry.

Two arrows precisely hit its body, with one piercing through its side abdomen, penetrating its body.

Through shared vision, Chen Wen could clearly see the Wolf Mink’s condition.

It was doomed!

However, Chen Wen calmly said, "It should be hit, let’s go check!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yun and Roland excitedly put away their bows and arrows, following Chen Wen towards the distance.

Seconds later.

Chen Wen led them to the vicinity of the bushes.

He held a spear and poked open the branches of the bushes; an already helplessly crouching Wolf Mink appeared before them.

"Nicely done!"

Chen Wen praised, ending the Wolf Mink’s suffering with the spear.

The collaboration this time was perfect!

Hua Yun and Roland’s shooting skills left Chen Wen very satisfied.

After retrieving arrows, Chen Wen led the two to follow behind the Snowy Owl, continuing to search for Wolf Minks lurking around the camp.

In an hour’s time, the three coordinated seamlessly, successfully shooting and killing three Wolf Minks spying on the camp.

According to Wolf Mink King Kong’s intel, these three Wolf Minks were likely the entirety of those coming to spy on the camp.

"Not bad, tonight’s mission is perfectly complete!"

Chen Wen carried the three dead Wolf Minks, feeling very satisfied inside.

Of course, his happiness wasn’t just for killing the Wolf Minks; more so, it was for discovering a new method of hunting and survival.

That was to seize the night, utilizing animals’ visual advantages to launch attacks.

The night affects both humans and animals.

Under such circumstances, Chen Wen could mitigate the night’s impact with animals, thus achieving the purpose of hunting.

It can be considered a very good hunting method.

Besides excitement, Hua Yun and Roland were more amazed by Chen Wen’s coordination with animals.

Also, the two felt more confident for the upcoming hunts.

Back at the camp, placing the three dead Wolf Minks inside the wooden house.

Chen Wen began to rest.

The Snowy Owl stood spiritedly atop Chen Wen’s roof, starting its night watch.

Since the shelter was built, the group adopted a more relaxed way of keeping watch, with six people taking turns, each guarding for just over an hour.

This new night watch method also granted the group more rest time.

Both mentally and physically, it became easier to recover.

...

The next morning.

Chen Wen got up early and packed his things.

Hua Yun also tidied things up, placing them on the sled.

Roland and Fred got up a bit late, but upon waking, they quickened their actions.

For breakfast, the group indulged extravagantly, cooking a main dish of buckwheat and potatoes and pairing it with previously prepared meat chunks and three cans opened.

It was rather luxurious.

Considered a farewell meal.

After breakfast, Chen Wen and the four planned to leave the camp and begin hunting.
