Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 22: Dumb Teammate


Chen Wen glanced at Yan Bian; the injury wasn't too bad.

He supported Yan Bian, quickly thinking of a strategy: "Don't move yet, that beast is focused on you. If you leave, it probably won't chase me."

Yan Bian nodded.

He understood that he, being injured, was the bay crocodile's primary target.

"What to do next? We must kill it; I'll feel very uneasy if we don't!"

Yan Bian gritted his teeth and said.

Usually emotionless, he was now quite angry.

Despite being an outdoor worker with excellent skills, he ended up being the first injured among everyone.

Chen Wen nodded.

They definitely wouldn't let the bay crocodile go.

But it seemed the bay crocodile was also entering a fatigued state.

It lay down, slowly recuperating its strength.

Chen Wen considered for a moment and said, "Let's stick to the original plan and lure it!"

"Alright, how do we lure it?"

Yan Bian asked.

Chen Wen shouted toward the forest, "Hu, hurry to the ambush point, we don't need you here."

The ambush point was very close now, approximately sixty meters away.

But it required crossing the rocky area ahead to reach the ambush point.

This path was tough!

Chen Wen pondered silently.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Wen attempted to let Yan Bian walk through the rocky area in front of the bay crocodile.

But as soon as Yan Bian moved, the bay crocodile raised its upper body.

It had locked its attention on Yan Bian.

Seeing this, Chen Wen stopped forcing Yan Bian through.

He whispered, "Enter the swamp, lead it through the swamp!"

Enter the swamp?

Yan Bian shivered; that was the bay crocodile's territory!

Could a person manage in there?

"You go first, follow my instructions, quickly! And don't head to the safe zone, go straight to the ambush point."

Chen Wen gave Yan Bian a push: "Follow Hu's tracks, run faster!"

Yan Bian wasn't indecisive; seeing Chen Wen's insistence, he turned around and plunged into the swamp.

The bay crocodile saw this and suddenly moved!

Its enormous body rolled over the beach sand and charged forward.

Chen Wen, witnessing this, didn't react like Yan Bian and Bai Yachuan, frozen in fear or turning to flee.

He raised his long spear, shouting loudly.

While attracting the crocodile's attention, he thrust his spear.

The bay crocodile whipped its head, ignoring Yan Bian, and charged at Chen Wen.

Chen Wen didn't thrust the long spear but took advantage of the bay crocodile's distraction and stepped in the opposite direction.

[Projectile Start] executed a perfect evasion.

He narrowly avoided the bay crocodile.

After landing, Chen Wen felt they had delayed enough time.

He didn't linger but turned and entered the swamp, fleeing towards the ambush point.

The bay crocodile seemed somewhat annoyed.

It continued heedlessly into the swamp, pursuing Chen Wen.

...

"Are they coming?"

"I don't know."

"Not here yet, don't talk!"

"Damn, so tense!"

At the ambush point, the four hiding – Wang Zhi, Lu Heng, Zhuo Hongnian, and Gan Tieshan were anxious.

At this moment.

With the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Gan Tieshan looked up and saw Zhang Hu and Bai Yachuan.

"Why is it just you two?"

"Plan change! They're behind; we came back first!"

Zhang Hu spoke, running past the ambush point per the plan, entering the safe zone behind a small rocky hill.

Lv Guocheng was ambushed at the front of the hill.

Within less than a minute, clumsy footsteps echoed.

"Yan Bian, how did you get injured?"

Gan Tieshan exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Bian gritted his teeth: "It's fine, get ready, the crocodile is coming soon!"

After speaking, Yan Bian didn't linger, turning toward the ambush point.

Upon hearing Yan Bian's words, the four were excited.

It was time for action!

Accompanied by Chen Wen's footsteps and the bay crocodile's roar and the sound of its body scraping over accumulated water.

"Prepare for action!"

Chen Wen, who rushed into the ambush point, was in good condition, except his face was scratched by some branches.

After saying this, he didn't care if the four in ambush heard him.

Chen Wen took two deep breaths, calming his heart.

He surveyed the ambush point.

This was an open area among a cluster of rocky ground, with most exits preemptively blocked by Chen Wen and Yan Bian.

Especially the side facing the sea.

Only one direction was unobstructed; it was a gap wide enough for four or five adult men to pass through shoulder to shoulder.

But at this moment, that direction was blocked by the bay crocodile.

The huge body of the bay crocodile, covered in silt, slowly approached Chen Wen and Yan Bian, who had stood there earlier.

Yan Bian was in sheer panic.

He leaned against the rocky ground; although he could grab the protrusion on the rock and climb directly up when the bay crocodile lunged, no one could guarantee perfect execution in that instant.

Chen Wen didn't consider Yan Bian's psychological state.

He picked up a whole lamb leg from the ground, drew a dagger from his waist, sliced a piece, and threw it towards the bay crocodile.

The bay crocodile lifted its head and caught it precisely.

It was familiar with the taste, having eaten such creatures long ago.

The taste was excellent.

The bay crocodile swallowed the lamb meat and looked at Chen Wen, along with Yan Bian behind him.

These two were also delicious morsels driven to a dead end!

The bay crocodile moved.

Chen Wen contemplated for a moment and directly hurled the lamb leg at the bay crocodile.

And at the instant the lamb leg was thrown, he bent over, "Step on me to climb up!"

Yan Bian was stunned but didn't hesitate; he stepped forward with his right leg, enduring severe pain as he stepped on Chen Wen's back, jumping up and securely grabbing the rock's protrusion.

Then, Chen Wen straightened, grabbed Yan Bian's calf and pushed abruptly.

Yan Bian climbed up.

The bay crocodile noticed their actions.

It discarded the lamb leg and roared while charging.

At this moment, Chen Wen was incredibly calm.

He shouted loudly, "Attack!"

Wang Zhi, Lu Heng, Zhuo Hongnian, and Gan Tieshan suddenly stood up on both sides of the ambush point.

They hurled the fishing nets and ropes they held.

The fishing nets and ropes spread in the air, casting over the bay crocodile.

The bay crocodile advanced regardless, its robust limbs clawing at the ground, almost lifting its body from it.

Chen Wen took a deep breath.

[Projectile Start]

He sprinted forward, like a gymnast performing a vault.

After the fishing net landed on the bay crocodile.

Chen Wen executed a front flip, flipping over the crocodile's head.

He even touched the bay crocodile's skin with his hand while flipping over.

Cold, hard!

Landed steadily.

Without checking the bay crocodile's condition, Chen Wen seized the long spear and dashed outward.

"Trapped!"

Wang Zhi's excited voice sounded behind him.

"Move!"

Gan Tieshan practically screamed.

"Don't go down! Not trapped!"

This was Zhuo Hongnian's alarmed shout.

What's happening!

Already at the entrance, Chen Wen twisted his head back abruptly, seeing Lu Heng, like an idiot, jumping from a height.

He held a long spear, his face filled with excitement, the spearhead directly aimed at the bay crocodile's head.

Was he trying to stab through the bay crocodile's head with his body weight?

Chen Wen was dumbfounded.

According to the plan, it was first to use nets and ropes to trap the bay crocodile.

Then cover its eyes with clothes, blinding it, then shoot with crossbow arrows.

If unsuccessful in killing it, Chen Wen would use a poisoned spear to finish off the crocodile.

But now...

The crocodile wasn't trapped by the fishing net.

Quite the contrary, it easily shook off the net, tilted its head to let Lu Heng's attack fall to the side of its head.

Turning a deadly strike into an enraged blow.

The rage belonged to the crocodile.

Then, the crocodile's eyes locked onto Lu Heng.

Like the reaper staring at its prey through these eyes.

Finished!

Lu Heng's legs went weak, recognizing his monumental mistake!

Everyone was shocked and furious.

Damn it, always seeing idiotic teammates online, thinking they didn't exist in real life.

Unexpectedly, one was right next by!
