Chapter 172: Wilderness Survival Begins
In "Man vs. Wild", the helicopter sent Li Yinsheng and six other people to the edge of a pine forest. The sunlight shone through the dense pine needles, sprinkling on the ground in patches, adding a touch of warm tones to this unknown wilderness.
Li Yinsheng and six others stood on the open space where the helicopter landed. They were surrounded by lush pine trees that towered into the clouds, like a natural barrier that isolated them from the noise of the outside world.
Li Yinsheng took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fragrance of pine wood and soil, a natural atmosphere that was hard to find in the city. She couldn't help but feel refreshed.
She turned to look at her teammates beside her. Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and nervousness for the unknown challenge.
"Follow me now." Li Yinsheng calmed her mind, opened the system and exchanged for a water source guidance card. After activation, it could guide Li Yinsheng to find a water source near her.
"Fatty, are we on our way to find water now?" asked Wu Jing, who was following Li Yinsheng.
"Yes! That's right." Li Yinsheng walked in front and said without turning his head.
"How about we look for it separately?" Peng Yuyan immediately suggested.
"No, just follow me. Don't forget, I'm Koi. This place is too big. If we spread out to look for it, we might get lost or encounter unnecessary danger.
In this case, we might as well gather together to find a water source and then make plans. I believe in my luck and we will be able to find a water source soon. "Li Yinsheng shook his head firmly, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.
Although her voice was soft, it seemed particularly powerful in this quiet forest, as if it could penetrate everyone's heart and calm everyone down.
"Fatty is right. Fatty's luck and sixth sense are very effective. We will be right to follow Fatty." Yang Chaoyue is a loyal supporter of Li Yinsheng. She was the first to stand up and agree, her face filled with unconditional trust and admiration for Li Yinsheng.
"Okay then. I'll listen to you." Peng Yuyan shrugged, but some words remained unsaid.
As they went deeper into the pine forest, the ground beneath their feet gradually became softer, and occasionally they could see some wild animal footprints. Li Yinsheng remained alert at all times, and at the same time, he did not forget to remind his teammates to pay attention to their safety.
The sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of mystery and excitement to the journey.
"Look, over there!" Wu Jing, who had sharp eyes, suddenly pointed ahead and shouted. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a lake about ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide appearing in front of them not far away.
The water surface is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and the lush trees around it, appearing exceptionally clear and peaceful.
The sunlight shines through the treetops, dappled onto the water, sparkling with little golden light, like countless tiny diamonds gently dancing, so beautiful that it brings beauty to the heart.
"Shall we set up camp here and choose a location to build shelter?" Yang Chaoyue asked when they arrived at the lake.
"This place is not a good place to build a shelter. Look at the footprints here. They should be the footprints of bears and wolves. Moreover, the footprints are very fresh, which means these beasts may be active nearby." Li Yinsheng looked around carefully and soon discovered this situation.
"Then we have to change places quickly," Yang Chaoyue looked around nervously.
"Let's walk along this lake first and find a suitable location to build a shelter." Li Yinsheng said, and walked forward along the lake.
They found the water source so quickly. Wu Jing and the other four followed Li Yinsheng, their confidence increased and their morale became higher.
After walking forward for about ten minutes, they came to the foot of a hillside. The slope was sixty-five degrees and the surface was relatively gentle. It was neither too steep to be difficult to climb, nor too flat to have any obstructions.
The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling on the hillside, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this wilderness.
Li Yinsheng stopped and looked around the lake, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"We built a shelter here. It is close to the water source and convenient for us to observe the surrounding environment. If there is any danger, we can respond in time.
The shelter is built in a semi-basement, backed by a hillside, which is windproof and warm.
Moreover, these boulders can serve as the foundation for us to build a shelter, saving a lot of effort." She pointed to a relatively open area ahead with several boulders scattered around.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jing and others nodded in agreement.
"According to the tasks I assigned before the competition, everyone should do their job. If there is anything, just shout loudly. I will go around and check out the terrain first, and see if I can hunt prey for our lunch!" Li Yinsheng said, holding the bow and arrow and looking up the slope.
"I'm going fishing." Li Qin also prepared the fishing line and hook and walked towards the lake.
Bai Jingting, Wu Jing, Peng Yuyan and Yang Chaoyue also started to get busy.
Li Yinsheng climbed up the hillside step by step. Behind the hillside was a pine forest.
After she stepped into the pine forest, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the surrounding trees and grass from time to time, looking for possible traces of prey.
The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappled onto her body, casting a layer of golden glow on her resolute face.
Li Yinsheng held the bow and arrow tightly in her hand. As she went deeper into the forest, the sounds around her became richer, and the singing of birds and insects intertwined into a symphony of nature.
Soon, she keenly noticed a slight movement and heard a series of "squeaking" sounds in her ears.
It turned out to be a squirrel jumping back and forth along the trunk of the pine tree, seeming to be looking at Li Yinsheng curiously.
Then, Li Yinsheng heard the sounds of squirrels from all directions.
However, just as Li Yinsheng was about to draw his bow to hunt these squirrels, he heard something.
[Ding! The host triggers the system to issue a task. Do you want to accept it?]
[Yes!] Li Yinsheng accepted the call without hesitation.
[Hit a squirrel and you'll get a treasure chest. If you hunt a squirrel, there's a certain chance that you'll be rewarded with food that the squirrel has stored for the winter! ]
When Li Yinsheng saw the task issued by the system, it was obvious that it was just a gift to himself.
Thinking back to when I completed the last system-issued task in "Survival on Deserted Island", I was rewarded with unlocking one primary skill, one intermediate skill, one advanced skill, and five attribute points.
Li Yinsheng had already added five attribute points to physical strength.
However, Li Yinsheng has not used these three unlocked skills yet.
Unlock advanced archery, unlock intermediate martial arts, and there is one primary skill that Li Yinsheng simply leaves untouched for now, because there are currently no more primary skills to unlock that are useful.
