On the wolf pack’s side.

Once again losing members, they were thrown into complete panic.

The gray wolf, who couldn’t stop thinking about the musk ox, tucked its tail and turned to flee.

Meanwhile, the old wolf stood on the ridge, watching its former subordinates flee, feeling a mix of emotions.

It had thought about returning to the pack.

But after witnessing Chen Wen’s strength, the idea completely vanished.

Being with such a strong and miraculous being is much better than the former aimless existence.

In the end, the old wolf didn’t step towards the pack but instead turned to look for Chen Wen.

The wolf mink and red fox also scurried over to Chen Wen’s side.

"Wow! Human, you’re really amazing!"

The wolf mink looked at the downed musk ox and had already idolized Chen Wen.

"Such a huge animal will last us a long, long time, right?"

The red fox gazed at the musk ox’s body, as huge as a small mountain, equally unable to hide its shock.

It had never seen prey this large in its life!

The old wolf walked over with its tail lowered, looked at the musk ox, and then at the dead new leader.

It felt quite complicated.

However, it glanced up at Chen Wen and said, "The wolf in the forest is dead. What do you plan to do?"

Chen Wen looked at the old wolf and asked, "Was it a member of your former pack?"

"Yes, but it was also the most active one in expelling me."

The old wolf’s tone was somewhat complex.

"If you’re okay with it, I plan to store them as backup food. If not..."

"I can accept it."

The old wolf laughed, "We’ve been through worse things, these... are nothing."

Oh boy, it’s truly a wolf with a story.

Chen Wen shook his head and didn’t press further on the old wolf’s past.

Although there were surprises in this hunt, the final harvest far exceeded the earlier expectations.

The target, a musk ox, goes without saying, but two additional adult North American gray wolves were obtained.

North American gray wolves are not small; their bodies are larger and stronger, even bigger than a mature golden retriever.

Were it not for the tearing effect that came naturally with them.

The stone spears Chen Wen made were sharp, but spearing them to death with one thrust would still have been very difficult.

"Though the prey is dead now, it doesn’t mean we’ve secured it."

Chen Wen said, looking at the animals.

In this forest, they were not the only ones surviving; there were more vicious predators around.

Once the scent of blood was caught, if surrounded by those predators, the food might not be kept!

Therefore, now it’s time to process and relocate the prey.

Chen Wen took a deep breath, looking at the wolf mink, old wolf, and red fox: "You three stay here and watch the food."

The wolf mink nodded quickly, "Don’t worry! Even if the gray wolves return, I’ll fight them to the end!"

"No, no, no!"

Seeing the wolf mink’s determination, Chen Wen immediately dispelled the idea: "You don’t need to fight to the end. Though food is scarce, we won’t starve to death. The priority is to save your lives, understand?"

"If the incoming animals can be repelled or scared off, then don’t let them near, but if they are irresistible, then let them eat!"

"Compared to food, you are more important!"

Upon hearing this, the wolf mink nodded, feeling very touched inside.

The red fox and old wolf felt even more deeply moved.

"I’ll take the two wolves back first. The musk ox is too heavy, so I’ll have to make two or three more trips. Thankfully, the musk ox hide can still be kept, which is a blessing."

As he spoke, Chen Wen suddenly felt a gust of strong wind surge in.

"This damned weather, with such a strong wind, is it really going to change to snow?"

Chen Wen said, his expression changing slightly.

Snowing is not a good thing around Great Slave Lake.

Furthermore, the survival time had been postponed by a month this time around, entering the winter season of Great Slave Lake.

If it really snows heavily for a few consecutive times, that would mean the mountain is sealed by snow!

Activities will be very inconvenient.

But regardless of how the weather changes, if there’s food in the pocket, there’s no worry in the mind.

Chen Wen took a deep breath and let the animals guard the musk ox’s body.

He then headed into the forest, bringing the North American gray wolves over.

Along the way, Chen Wen also retrieved his stone spears.

"These stone spears are indeed done for."

In Chen Wen’s hand, the spear shaft of one that flew nearly a hundred meters had broken.

It seemed this wolf mangled the stone spear.

The spearhead, however, remained okay.

Besides, the spear that missed hit a rock, completely breaking the spearhead.

As for the spear on the musk ox’s body, its shaft broke and the spearhead cracked.

"There is indeed a cost, and making these three stone spears takes hours."

Chen Wen shook his head, carrying the two gray wolves on his back.

Very heavy!

He glanced at the animals, "Keep an eye, I’ll head back first. Eagle, come with me."

The eagle nodded.

As the wind outside became stronger, it too was starting to struggle.

It spread its wings and flew up, following Chen Wen away.

...

"Chen Wen hit the jackpot this time!"

Watching Chen Wen carrying the gray wolves towards the shelter, Greg spoke with emotion.

If they could bring the entire musk ox back, or even half of it!

Then the championship title this time would be almost seventy to eighty percent secured.

As long as he doesn’t mess up in the later stages.

But given Chen Wen’s personality, it seems unlikely.

The main guide also nodded.

He suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "For the upcoming eight-level challenge, Chen Wen is sure to participate, right?"

"Not just probably, definitely."

Greg chuckled; he had high hopes for Chen Wen.

"The eight-level challenge is more bloodthirsty and cruel, also more testing of team coordination abilities. At that time, Chen Wen might be somewhat restricted."

In the individual competitions, Chen Wen is currently a top player.

But in team competitions?

Greg didn’t say much upon hearing that.

He was also pondering.

But in the team competitions, within the current generation of Hua Country’s players...

He switched the screen to Hua Yun’s side.

At this time, Hua Yun was affected most severely by the weather changes.

Because her shelter was not fully completed.

The sudden gusts put her in a dire situation.

Even though she had stocked up on a large amount of food earlier, so she didn’t have to worry about the lack of food or energy consumption.

But the current strong winds caused part of Hua Yun’s shelter under construction to collapse.

"Hua Yun is great at hunting, but her basic survival skills are just average."

The main guide commented, "I’ve watched the video of her surviving in Yukon with Chen Wen, and if she was hunting, she could reduce some of Chen Wen’s hunting pressure, but now that Chen Wen is also good at hunting, she could only handle some trivial tasks. Their cooperation has gone from one plus one equals two to one point five plus one equals two."

"Cooperating with Hua Yun is not a burden, but it doesn’t fully utilize the capabilities of either of them."

"Besides, I’ve heard that the vice president of the Hua Association, Feng Zhong, doesn’t get along well with Chen Wen, so Chen Wen will most likely be fighting solo in this eight-level challenge."

Fighting solo?

Greg’s expression turned peculiar.

To be honest, for most people in his view, team survival is definitely easier than surviving alone.

But on Chen Wen’s side, Greg always felt it was the opposite.

Going solo could possibly allow Chen Wen to showcase his full potential.

But regardless, the eight-level challenge is a bit too far away.

If Chen Wen can win this time, only then can the eight-level challenge be considered.
