The helicopter from "Man vs. Wild" transported Li Yinsheng and his group of six to the edge of a pine forest. Sunlight filtered through the dense pine needles, dappling the ground and adding a warm hue to this unknown wilderness.

Li Yinsheng and her six companions stood on the open ground where the helicopter had landed, surrounded by lush pine trees that towered into the clouds, forming a natural barrier that shut out the noise of the outside world.

Li Yinsheng took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fresh scent of pine and the fragrance of earth, a natural aroma that was hard to find in the city, which made her feel refreshed and relaxed.

She turned to look at her teammates beside her; each of their faces was filled with anticipation and nervousness for the unknown challenges ahead.

"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 the water source near her.

"Fatty, are we on our way to find a water source?" Wu Jing, who was following behind Li Yinsheng, asked.

“Yes! That’s right.” Li Yinsheng said without turning her head as she walked ahead.

"How about we split up and search separately?" Peng Yuyan suggested immediately.

"No need, just follow me. Don't forget, I'm the real deal when it comes to good luck. This place is too big. If we split up to search, we might get lost or encounter unnecessary dangers."

"Since that's the case, we might as well gather together and look for a water source before making any further plans. I believe in my luck; we'll find a water source soon." Li Yinsheng shook her head resolutely, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination.

Although her voice was soft, it sounded particularly powerful in the 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 accurate. We can’t go wrong following Fatty.” Yang Chaoyue was Li Yinsheng’s loyal supporter. She was the first to stand up and agree, her face beaming with unconditional trust and admiration for Li Yinsheng.

"Alright then, I'll listen to you." Peng Yuyan shrugged, but ultimately didn't say anything.

As they ventured deeper into the pine forest, the ground beneath their feet gradually softened, and they occasionally spotted the tracks of wild animals. Li Yinsheng remained vigilant, while also reminding her teammates to watch their step.

Sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows that added a touch of mystery and excitement to the journey.

"Look, over there!" Wu Jing, with her sharp eyes, suddenly pointed ahead and shouted. Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a lake that was about ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide in the distance.

The water was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and lush trees all around, making it appear exceptionally clear and tranquil.

Sunlight filters through the treetops, dappling the water's surface with golden shimmer, like countless tiny diamonds dancing gently—a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

"Shall we set up camp here and choose a location to build a shelter?" Yang Chaoyue asked when they arrived at the lake.

“This is not a good place to build a shelter. Judging from the footprints here, they should be those of a bear or wolf, and the footprints are very fresh, which means that these wild beasts may be active in the vicinity.” Li Yinsheng carefully looked around and quickly discovered the situation.

“Then we need to find another place quickly,” Yang Chaoyue said nervously, glancing around.

"Let's walk along this lake and find a suitable spot to build a shelter," Li Yinsheng said, and then walked along the lake.

Having found the water source so quickly, Wu Jing and the other four followed Li Yinsheng with increased confidence and high morale.

After walking for about ten minutes, they came to the foot of a hillside. The hillside was 65 degrees, with a relatively gentle slope that was neither too steep to climb nor too flat to be obstructed.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling the hillside and adding warmth and life to this desolate place.

Li Yinsheng stopped and looked around the lake, a satisfied gleam in her eyes.

"We've set up our shelter here. It's close to a water source and makes it easy for us to observe our surroundings, so we can respond promptly if there's any danger."

The shelter is built in a semi-basement, nestled against a hillside, providing both wind protection and warmth.

Moreover, these boulders can serve as the foundation for building our shelter, saving us a lot of effort. She pointed to a relatively open area in front of us with several boulders scattered around.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing and the others nodded in agreement.

"According to the tasks I assigned before the competition, everyone should do their own job and do what they're supposed to do. If anything happens, just shout it out. I'll go take a walk around first, scout out the terrain, and see if we can hunt some game to solve our lunch problem!" Li Yinsheng said, picking up her bow and arrows and looking up the slope.

"I'm going fishing." Li Qin prepared her fishing line and hook and walked towards the lake.

Bai Jingting, Wu Jing, Peng Yuyan, and Yang Chaoyue also got busy.

Li Yinsheng climbed up the hillside step by step, behind which was a pine forest.

As she entered the pine forest, her eyes, sharp as an eagle's, scanned the surrounding trees and bushes from time to time, searching for possible prey.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling her body and casting a golden glow on her resolute face.

Li Yinsheng gripped the bow and arrow tightly in her hand. As she ventured deeper into the forest, the surrounding sounds became richer, with birdsong and insect chirps weaving together into a symphony of nature.

Soon, she keenly sensed a subtle movement and heard a series of 'squeak squeak squeak' sounds.

It turned out to be a squirrel leaping back and forth along the pine tree trunk, seemingly curiously observing Li Yinsheng.

Then, Li Yinsheng heard squirrel calls from all four sides.

However, just as Li Yinsheng was about to draw her bow to hunt these squirrels, she heard something in her ear.

[Ding! The host has triggered a system-issued task. Accept?]

【Yes!】 Li Yinsheng accepted the order without hesitation.

Hunting squirrels will drop treasure chests! There's a chance to be rewarded with food stored by the squirrel for the winter!

When Li Yinsheng saw the task issued by the system, he realized it was practically handing him a free meal.

Thinking back to when I completed the last system-issued mission in "Survival on a Desert Island," the reward was to unlock one basic skill, one intermediate skill, one advanced skill, and five attribute points.

Li Yinsheng had already allocated all five attribute points to stamina.

However, Li Yinsheng has not yet used these three unlocked skills.

Li Yinsheng decided to leave the advanced archery and intermediate martial arts skills unlocked for now, as there were no other basic skills she needed to unlock and use.
