The next morning.

Chen Wen grabbed his weapon and, with Yan Bian, set off on the road to find pigs.

Zhang Hu and Lu Heng, meanwhile, rubbed their hands eagerly, continuing to search for and move stones to build the embankment.

Gan Tieshan, Du Feng, and Lv Guocheng had a clear division of labor, making small beds.

Wang Zhi and Zhuo Hongnian plunged into the forest, causing the cassava to cry and the taro to tremble.

Bai Yachuan chose to take a fishing rod and headed to the southern beach to fish.

On Chen Wen's side.

Under Yan Bian's guidance, the two navigated through the rainforest smoothly.

As they walked, Yan Bian brought up some other topics.

"Chen Wen, do you plan to keep doing wilderness survival in the future?"

Chen Wen responded with an "Mm": "I don't have much education, can't find a good job, so I have to carve out a new path."

Yan Bian thought for a moment and said, "I've set up a travel agency to provide rainforest guide services for those in need."

"The work is intense, but the pay is high and the benefits are good, interested?"

Chen Wen chuckled: "No, no, being a guide isn't as fun as survival."

Hearing this, Yan Bian felt a bit disappointed.

Chen Wen's speed in the rainforest was on par with his own, and if he could recruit Chen Wen, his own pressure as a top guide would ease considerably.

But since Chen Wen wasn't interested, he couldn't force it.

"Alright, but if you have time, you can come to Yun Province and I'll show you around," Yan Bian said with a smile.

"That sounds great!"

Chen Wen's eyes lit up. He remembered that Yun Province had quite a bit of wilderness too.

The location for the next wilderness excursion might just be set in Yun Province.

The two followed a marked path Yan Bian had previously created and soon arrived at the bamboo grove Yan Bian mentioned.

The bamboo grove was tranquil and serene, a nice place.

"The pig tracks we discovered yesterday are over here,"

Yan Bian pointed to the edge of the bamboo grove: "There's a pile of pig droppings."

Chen Wen walked up and examined it closely.

To be honest, he couldn't tell much.

"Shall we look around the area?"

Chen Wen asked.

"Sure, let's split up. If you find anything, communicate immediately."

After a brief discussion, they quickly split up to search for pig tracks.

...

Women's group.

Compared to the increasingly popular men's group, this side, to put it in trendy terms, was cold.

The only popular part was the trio group.

At the same time, in different locations.

Hua Yun furrowed her brow, staring at the footprints on the ground.

Since breaking away from the main group, Hua Yun had led the other two to go independent.

Initially, the trio managed their work with ease.

But as survival time stretched longer,

the trio began to experience exhaustion.

In the camp, fetching water greatly drained Hua Yun and Ning You's energy and strength.

The monotonous and tedious chore of gathering firewood left Chen Yaoyao mentally exhausted.

The difficulty in acquiring food rose sharply, and the decreasing quantity made Hua Yun increasingly anxious.

The tropical island was not her forte.

The chickens the show provided were all hunted by her.

The goat, on the seventh day, was also taken down with her three arrows.

Now, only the pig remained.

But to Hua Yun's dismay, the pig was found by the main group, and they had raised this forty-something-pound pig.

Yesterday, Hua Yun intended to negotiate for the pig.

But unexpectedly, the others refused her, reasoning that the pig had the right to live too.

If it were three years ago, during Hua Yun's hot-headed years,

she would have dealt with it using her bow and arrow.

Of course, not to shoot people, but the pig.

But three years of live-streaming had made Hua Yun very aware that every move of hers was scrutinized under a magnifying glass by others.

Frustrated!

Hua Yun sat on the ground, contemplating how to secretly shoot the pig and take it away.

As she pondered, she couldn't help but think of the men's group.

Over there, Yan Bian could be considered an acquaintance of hers; they had collaborated on work before.

How were things on their side?

She heard that the men's team was equipped with hunters; she wondered how skilled their hunter was.

...

The hunter from the men's group was replaced by Chen Wen, who replaced Ding Decai.

The current men's team only had Chen Wen, who was half a hunter.

But Chen Wen claimed: I don't want to hunt; I'm a Druid, and I want to tame these livestock!

"These pigs really know how to hide!"

Chen Wen looked at the lush vegetation, feeling dizzy from staring.

And yet, there was still no trace of the pig.

He tried using the method Yan Bian taught him to judge the pig's location by the nibbled leaves.

But after a while, Chen Wen suddenly realized a problem: what do pigs eat anyway?

From memory, those pig-feeding videos showed that pigs mainly ate wheat bran-type grains.

Occasionally, they added fruits and vegetables, like watermelon, pumpkin, corn...

Sometimes even military hotpot from another country.

But wild pigs don't have such conditions.

What do wild pigs usually eat?

Chen Wen squatted down, pondering this question, effectively slacking off.

After about half an hour of idleness,

"Coo-coo-coo-coo!"

The forest suddenly echoed with a peculiar call.

The four cuccoo sounds were Chen Wen and Yan Bian's agreed signal.

Oh!

Yan Bian had a discovery; what luck!

Chen Wen stood up excitedly and walked toward the direction of the sound.

Before long, Chen Wen and Yan Bian met up.

"Old Yan, your skill is truly impressive!"

Chen Wen said excitedly as he got closer to Yan Bian.

In terms of tracking prey, Chen Wen had just started, while Yan Bian had already mastered it.

"Want to learn? I can teach you when you come to Yun Province," Yan Bian said with a laugh, then got to the point: "The pig is in that shrub, but there's a problem."

"This pig's almost gone wild."

Gone wild?

Chen Wen: Confused emoji face.

"Yeah, didn't you know? Domesticated pigs released in the wild gradually become feral. In a year or two, they'll grow tusks and become wild boars."

Yan Bian explained: "Moreover, the younger the pig, the faster it feralizes."

"The pig released on our island is a male pig, uncastrated, weighing about forty pounds. This kind of pig feralizes quickly."

"Right now, it's just showing tendencies, it has a very mild wild nature, but as more time passes, in about a month, it'll become more temperamental."

"Didn't you say you wanted to try taming it before? Now it's not too hard to tame; do you want to try?"

Listening to Yan Bian's explanation, Chen Wen was quite enlightened.

"Sure, why not,"

Chen Wen rubbed his hands: "By the way, Old Yan, what do wild pigs eat?"

"Wild pigs? They're omnivores, they'll eat anything as long as it's edible. Actually, we could try using cassava to tame it, cassava should attract it more than those tender leaves or grass roots," Yan Bian suggested.

Chen Wen grinned: "Cassava? Where can I find that?"

Yan Bian replied: "The camp, there probably isn't any around here; I've already checked."

Chen Wen rolled his eyes. It seemed that taming pigs using the method for sheep wasn't going to work.

They still needed to catch this pig first, then bring it back to the camp for slow taming.

Just like how he tamed the chicken.

After making up his mind, Chen Wen said, "Then let's catch it first and use some strategy this time."

Strategy?

Yan Bian looked skeptically at Chen Wen.

The look implied, aren't you the type who usually prefers charging ahead? Since when did you talk about strategy?
