Chapter 1098 - 117: Unexpected Situation

The sudden attack threw the elk herd into complete panic.

They tried to determine the direction of the attackers, but it seemed like attackers were everywhere.

As a result, the elks became disorganized and began to scatter in all directions.

But this gave those with melee weapons an opportunity to hunt.

Chen Wen was ambushed in a tree.

He watched as a male elk accelerated towards him, completely unaware of Chen Wen’s presence.

Bad luck for you.

Chen Wen shook his head and took out his spear.

With a bit of foresight, Chen Wen jumped down from the tree, striking the elk with his body while also stabbing the spear into the elk’s body.

The elk let out a miserable cry and fell straight to the ground.

Chen Wen’s attack was quite fierce, leaving no chance for the elk to survive.

The others were experiencing similar situations.

Everyone who was ambushed succeeded.

Soon, accompanied by excited shouts and grunts of exertion, the ambushed elk herd’s numbers dwindled sharply.

When Chen Wen dragged out the male elk he had killed, others gathered together.

Looking at everyone’s harvest, Cha’s face was filled with excitement: "According to our plan, this hunt killed a total of eleven elks that met our requirements!"

Eleven!

Hearing this number, Lee Min-jun and Changmao were so shocked that they couldn’t close their mouths.

Even if Chen Wen takes two elks.

They would still get nine elks, which is entirely sufficient for a long time’s food supply to come!

Moreover, with three people eliminated this time, if eating sparingly, plus the previously stored food.

Changmao even felt they could last a full hundred days!

Chen Wen was also a bit surprised by this result since he initially thought that hunting seven or eight elks would already be pretty good.

At this moment, Hua Yun walked over to Chen Wen and explained the situation at the time in Chinese.

This time, Changmao and Lee Min-jun made a big effort.

Each of them killed two elks, which could be considered quite remarkable.

It seems that when it comes to hunting, these two have some redeemable features after all.

Those who can participate in the Eight Extremes Challenge might not all be capable, but they definitely have outstanding advantages.

Chen Wen shook his head and walked to the front of the hunted animals.

Seeing Chen Wen approaching, Changmao, who had been touching the elk’s body with a smug expression, quickly gave way.

Everyone, like members of a wolf pack awaiting the alpha to feast, watched Chen Wen with some expectation and nervousness.

Chen Wen selected his preferred prey, one being the largest male elk, possibly the herd leader, and the other a slightly smaller female elk.

After picking his prey, Chen Wen looked at Changmao and Lee Min-jun: "You guys discuss and send two or three people to help me carry supplies; the rest can leave."

Upon hearing this, Changmao and Lee Min-jun hadn’t come to a conclusion.

The Cha brothers volunteered to take on this task.

Chen Wen agreed, as these two brothers were considered pretty reliable people.

From this hunt, it was clear that the information they scouted in advance was very accurate and efficient.

Seeing the Cha brothers’ performance, Lee Min-jun hesitated for a moment and said, "I’ll go too."

He wasn’t worried about the Cha brothers being eliminated.

His real concern was that once the Cha brothers got familiar with Chen Wen, they might ask to join Chen Wen’s group, and if Chen Wen agreed, he’d have nowhere to cry.

The Cha brothers were the backbone of their team!

The three of them temporarily became laborers for Chen Wen and Hua Yun.

The five of them carried the two elks to the place where Chen Wen had previously set up camp, while the other team members tidied their overnight spot, intending to mimic Chen Wen’s sled to transport the remaining elks.

Meanwhile, they waited for Lee Min-jun and the others to return.

Seeing their actions, Chen Wen kindly gave them some pointers.

This made Changmao and Lee Min-jun even more grateful.

They even offered to give Chen Wen another elk, which Chen Wen politely declined.

The taste of elk wasn’t particularly good.

Chen Wen noticed this during the hunt.

At that time, he smelled a very strong odor from the elk, stronger than that of an elk, so to spare his taste buds, Chen Wen didn’t want more.

If it were a Siberian Roe Deer or similar game, he would definitely accept it with a smile, but elk was not quite up to par.

In the afternoon, after resting, Chen Wen asked the Cha brothers to drag the sled, starting their return to their camp.

Hua Yun took the lead.

Chen Wen alternated with Lee Min-jun, taking turns when the Cha brothers got tired.

By nightfall, feeling a bit tired, the group stopped by the lake.

Chen Wen checked their current location, realizing they were just over half a day’s distance from the place where they stored meat, guarded by the Northeast Tiger.

He thought for a moment and planned to have Hua Yun take the Golden Eagle to check on the Northeast Tiger the next day.

The lynx had disappeared during the hunt; when Chen Wen used shared vision to locate it, he found it seemed to have hunted down a young elk, enjoying its dinner in a bush overlooking their resting spot.

Is this cloud-raising the lynx?

Chen Wen shook his head; though the lynx wasn’t sharing the hunt, the fact that it could hunt alone, without needing Chen Wen to provide food or shelter, was quite reassuring.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen glanced at the Golden Eagle devouring its meal.

The Golden Eagle had developed a picky palate, only eating fresh meat, which Chen Wen found quite frustrating.

...

The next day.

Chen Wen and the group continued forward.

The Golden Eagle spoke to Chen Wen, planning to fly ahead to check on the Northeast Tiger.

Being with Chen Wen, surrounded by others, Chen Wen kept silent, and the lynx, showing disdain for the Golden Eagle, didn’t engage in conversation.

Feeling bored, the Golden Eagle recalled the talkative Northeast Tiger.

With the intention of killing time, the Golden Eagle left the camp.

Dragging the sled, Chen Wen pondered about the upcoming survival.

To be honest, almost all of this survival’s goals have been achieved.

Next, Chen Wen just needed to stay in the warm and solid shelter of the main camp, watching over his ample food supply, thinking of how to pass the time without getting bored.

But Chen Wen still gave himself some tasks.

He planned to discuss with the team members about making tools to move faster on the ice, such as sleds.

During the long winter ahead, Chen Wen wanted to try hunting Baikal seals.

Besides that, Chen Wen also wanted to try ice fishing, perhaps the next trade could bring some fishhooks from hunters like Arseny.

Additionally, Chen Wen planned to use animal leather and pine needles to make a taxidermy specimen.

This was to train the Northeast Tiger, teaching it how to quickly kill prey and set up ambushes.

Finally, Chen Wen also planned to make some furniture.

His shelter was a bit too simple and not very comfortable; a comfortable shelter is the true enjoyment!

Therefore, making the shelter more comfortable was also Chen Wen’s next goal.

But just as Chen Wen was constantly planning for the days to come.

Not long after, the Golden Eagle flapped its wings hastily and returned to Chen Wen.

Seeing the anxious Golden Eagle, Chen Wen’s heart skipped a beat.

The Golden Eagle was this anxious, did something happen?

Sure enough, as soon as the Golden Eagle landed beside Chen Wen, it exclaimed, "Something happened! The Northeast Tiger is missing!"
