Chapter 987 6: The Problems Adam Encountered

According to Chen Wen's plan, he divided the team into two groups.

Gaston, Fred, and Roland formed one team, bringing along the Eagle and the Wolf Mink, primarily focusing on gathering firewood and finding a suitable camping spot.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun teamed up, taking the Golden Eagle and the Snowy Owl, primarily focusing on finding Adam and seeking a suitable camping spot.

This task allocation suited everyone's thoughts, so naturally, no one had any objections.

After a brief discussion, the gathered people split into two routes and started their work.

While everyone was discussing task allocation.

Adam, on his side, encountered some trouble.

When the participants were placed at different locations, since these locations were pre-selected, the Russian Association had also conducted some preliminary exploration. Originally, these locations for placing participants should have been very safe and unlikely to have any unusual occurrences.

But this time, Adam's luck might have been somewhat poor.

He was thrown onto a somewhat strange place—a high mountain surrounded by cliffs!

"What?"

After landing and seeing the surroundings, Adam was a bit dumbfounded, "What's going on? Why was I thrown here?"

He looked blankly at the departing helicopter, obviously, the other side didn't intend to explain to him.

Adam frowned, but he didn't worry that the Russian Association was intentionally targeting him.

After all, there's no grudge or conflict of interest.

However, Adam felt that this time he might have encountered a peculiar situation.

After looking around the surroundings, he showed an "as expected" expression.

"This time, luck is a bit on the down side!"

Adam's expression was somewhat helpless.

Right in front of Adam's current location, this cliff appeared relatively new compared to the other three sides.

"It seems that during the submission of the registration list, after local associations explored and selected this spot, due to some reasons, a landslide occurred, causing this place to become unsuitable for survival."

Adam sighed as he spoke.

Truly unlucky this time!

Moreover, Adam saw, to descend the mountain, he would have to try climbing down, but he was only a beginner in climbing, not any kind of expert.

Attempting to climb down would be quite challenging.

And there is a certain amount of danger.

Adam, who was used to being cautious, didn't particularly like taking such risky actions.

Not doable.

Adam shook his head, somewhat helplessly saying, "I better wait for Chen Wen and the others to come, and think of a solution together, Chen Wen is a real climbing expert, he should have a way."

To let Chen Wen quickly find him, Adam took off his jacket and removed a red long-sleeved shirt from himself.

He spread the long sleeve on the ground, so that Chen Wen's flying beast taming could find him more quickly and easily.

...

On Chen Wen's side.

He somewhat realized that Adam had encountered some trouble, so he was also thinking of ways to find Adam.

Taking advantage of the distance with Hua Yun, Chen Wen called on the Golden Eagle and the Snowy Owl, telling them Adam's features: "Adam looks quite ordinary, I can't quite say what his characteristics are, but I remember he wore a camouflage jacket when he came here today, and each of us wore a red long sleeve. If he is in danger, you can try to distinguish red."

Of course, he primarily spoke with the Golden Eagle.

As a daytime active raptor, the Golden Eagle possesses tetrachromatic vision!

The concept of tetrachromatic vision is relatively easy to understand.

For humans, there are three types of cone cells in the retina, sensitive to red, green, and blue light respectively.

These three colors combine to form all the colors we can see.

While tetrachromatic vision has four types of cone cells.

In addition to those sensitive to red, green, and blue, there's a fourth type specialized in perceiving ultraviolet light.

Birds, specifically most birds, are tetrachromatic creatures.

Therefore, the Golden Eagle can see red clearly.

The Eagle can too.

But because the Snowy Owl is a nocturnal raptor, it is not a tetrachromatic creature.

Chen Wen previously learned that most owls are dichromatic.

They may only have two types of cone cells responsive to shortwave and mid-longwave light, meaning the variety of colors they can discern is far less rich than the Golden Eagle.

To use a slightly inappropriate analogy, the Snowy Owl is more like a colorblind person to red among humans, but it can still distinguish some colors, especially the blue and green spectrum.

But red is not quite the same, red might appear more like gray or black in the eyes of a Snowy Owl.

Which is just a vague blotch.

After hearing Chen Wen's instructions, the Golden Eagle let out a sound, and immediately soared into the sky with the Snowy Owl.

The two raptors began to search for Adam's whereabouts.

Chen Wen did not activate [Shared Vision] again, this time letting the Golden Eagle search was enough.

A few minutes later.

The Golden Eagle keenly noticed an anomaly on a mountaintop.

It flew over with the Snowy Owl, and quickly, they saw Adam on the mountaintop.

The Golden Eagle circled and cried out a few times, causing Adam, who was initially looking down surveying the situation below, to raise his head.

Adam saw the Golden Eagle.

He excitedly waved at the Golden Eagle, which called out a few times again, as if responding.

Afterwards, it let the Snowy Owl stay behind while it returned to report.

...

Chen Wen and Hua Yun waited for more than ten minutes.

The Golden Eagle returned.

It cried out in the sky, reporting the situation to Chen Wen: "I saw Adam whom you mentioned, he seems to be trapped. When I saw him, he was on a mountaintop over there!"

On hearing this, Chen Wen immediately said, "Hua Yun, judging by the Golden Eagle's behavior, it seems to have found Adam, and given its urgent calls, there's a high chance Adam encountered some danger, let's go check it out!"

Hearing this, Hua Yun eagerly nodded, "Alright, let's go take a look!"

The two quickened their pace and followed the Golden Eagle.

Before long.

Chen Wen and Hua Yun transitioned from the forest area to the mountainous terrain.

The area around Lake Baikal is not a wide plain.

Situated on the Baikal Rift Zone, the western shore is the most steep and rugged, while the eastern and southern shores are relatively mild with larger alluvial plains.

The area where Chen Wen and the others are located is the western shore.

Observing the surroundings, Chen Wen somewhat mentally prepared himself for the place where Adam was trapped.

This guy probably landed on those rather steep slopes.

Considering Adam's inherently cautious nature and fairly average climbing skills.

He likely dared not come down.

With this thought, Chen Wen couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth.

All things considered, still lacking in bravery!

He chuckled, already having considered how to tease Adam later.

That's what friends are for, teasing each other makes it fun!
