HUN Chapter 89: Bow Hunting the Wild Boar King

Several robust wild boars burst out of the willow grove in panic, charging straight toward the open ground where they were ambushed!

Leading the charge was an unusually large male wild boar with sharp tusks, clearly the leader of the herd!

Lin Yu'an's gaze instantly locked onto this boar king! Just as it charged within the optimal shooting range of forty meters, his eyes focused sharply and the drawn bowstring suddenly released!

"Whoosh!"

The heavy hunting arrow cut through the air like black lightning, carrying a sharp whistle as it shot precisely toward the vital heart-lung area behind the boar king's left front leg!

"Thud!"

The sound of blade entering flesh was clear and piercing! The arrow drove in like a hot knife through butter, the powerful kinetic energy sending the deadly arrowhead deep into its chest cavity!

"Roar!!!"

The boar king let out a shrill roar full of pain and fury, its massive body stumbling violently, the huge momentum causing it to roll forward several times.

"Beautiful shot! Lin!"

Buck roared excitedly while his shotgun also thundered deafeningly, blasting another female wild boar trying to escape to the ground.

Meanwhile, Earl on the high point of the slope also displayed his marksman skills.

Each crisp gunshot from his rifle precisely targeted the wild boars' vital spots, calm, efficient, deadly!

Chad commanded the hunting dogs, continuously harassing and biting at the herd's periphery, skillfully controlling the chaotic situation.

Just then, the severely wounded boar king actually stood up again and suddenly changed direction, dragging its injury as it fled desperately toward a dense thicket of brambles nearby!

Clearly it wanted to use the complex terrain to escape pursuit!

"Oh no! It's not dead yet! Stop it!"

Buck's face changed dramatically as he quickly raised his gun to shoot, but the cunning boar king dodged left and right to avoid the shots.

Lin Yu'an's eyes sharpened, knowing this was the crucial moment! Without any hesitation, he burst from the bushes like a cheetah, quickly drawing a second arrow and nocking it on his bow.

This time, he had to find a shooting opportunity while in motion!

His heavy hiking boots provided excellent grip on the slippery ground, making every step rock-solid.

He stayed close behind the boar king at about thirty meters, trying not to let it pull further ahead.

The opportunity came! Just as the boar king leaped suddenly to avoid a fallen dead tree, its body appearing briefly suspended in mid-air!

Lin Yu'an's steps suddenly stopped, not even having time for precise aim, relying completely on his hunter's instincts and muscle memory as he decisively drew the bow and released in one fluid motion!

"Whoosh!!!"

The second hunting arrow also whistled out, ruthlessly piercing into the boar's vital flank area!

"Thud!!!"

"Roar!"

The boar king let out a short, desperate cry, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground as blood gushed wildly from its mouth, nose, and wounds.

It only twitched symbolically a few times before completely stopping breathing.

The mountain forest returned to deathly silence once again.

Lin Yu'an maintained his shooting stance until confirming the boar king was completely dead, then slowly lowered his bow.

"Lin! Are you alright?"

Buck, Earl, and Chad ran over panting.

When they saw the huge boar king and the deadly arrow almost completely buried in its body, their faces showed incredible admiration.

"My God! Unbelievable! Lin! Those two shots... were absolutely magnificent!" Buck exclaimed excitedly.

Even Earl's eternally unchanging stoic face showed a rare smile as he solemnly gave a thumbs up, "Lin, you will become a true hunter."

Chad was even more stunned, all his previous contempt and doubt completely shattered.

He now looked at Lin Yu'an with worship in his eyes, "Lin... you... are simply godlike! I've never seen such an amazing archer in my life!"

With the boar king's fall, the remaining wild boars were quickly eliminated.

A thrilling Texas hog hunting battle came to a perfect conclusion under the team's seamless coordination.

The joy of successful hunting dispelled all tension and fatigue.

After a brief celebration, everyone began the tense and orderly work of processing their trophies. They worked together to drag the wild boars onto the pickup truck and transport them back to Buck's slaughterhouse.

Buck and Earl handled cleaning the innards while Chad was responsible for washing, their movements skilled and efficient!

Lin Yu'an voluntarily took on the task of butchering the meat.

His knife work was precise and skillful, each piece of meat cut cleanly, preserving maximum food value.

Earl watched Lin Yu'an's fluid movements with surprise and praised, "Lin, your meat-cutting technique looks even more professional than us two old-timers!"

Lin Yu'an smiled and replied, "Mr. Earl, when I was in China as a child, my greatest pleasure was watching pig slaughtering, and over time I learned some techniques."

As the sun set and the last wild boar was processed, all the trophies included several large pieces of delicious wild boar meat, several complete wild boar hides, and the innards that the hunting dogs deserved as rewards.

Buck Jones took several bottles of ice-cold local craft beer from the truck's cooler and handed them to everyone, saying heartily, "Come on! Fellows! Let's toast to our successful hunt today! And to our new friend, the 'Divine Archer' Lin from China!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their beer bottles with a loud clink! The ice-cold beer slid down their throats, washing away all fatigue and toil, leaving only full-hearted pride and satisfaction.

That evening, Buck's farmhouse once again blazed with a roaring campfire, the air filled with the mouth-watering rich aroma of roasted wild boar meat.

Although wild boar meat still had some gamey smell, fortunately this wasn't the wilderness survival situation but civilized society with plenty of heavy seasonings that could remove most of the gamey taste.

Everyone sat around the campfire, eating meat heartily and drinking freely, enthusiastically discussing the day's hunting thrills and excitement, as well as sharing interesting hunting stories from their own experiences.

Although Lin Yu'an didn't usually enjoy drinking, in this heated atmosphere, he couldn't help but drink several more cups.

His relationship with Buck, Earl, and Chad also rapidly became closer and more harmonious in this atmosphere filled with alcohol, roasted meat, and shared masculine topics.

The next day, when saying goodbye, Buck gripped Lin Yu'an's hand tightly, his eyes full of sincere invitation.

"Lin! This hunt was absolutely thrilling! These old bones of mine haven't been this excited in a long time! Next time! Next time you come again!"

"We'll go after those craftier white-tailed deer, or... challenge 'Devil's Canyon' where mountain lions roam!"

Lin Yu'an nodded with a smile, "Mr. Buck, I would be very happy to fight alongside you again!"

Earl, who had been silent and taciturn, suddenly spoke up just as Lin Yu'an was preparing to get in his car to leave.

"Lin."

Earl's voice remained hoarse and low, but his eyes held a seriousness and appreciation that had never been there before.

Earl spoke slowly, "Your archery skills are truly excellent, among the very best I've ever seen."

"However, in this land, bow and arrow still have too many limitations. Especially when facing truly ferocious prey, a reliable rifle can often save your life."

"If you're interested, in a few days, I can take you somewhere. I know a retired old gunsmith from Winchester Company."

"He still has some very rare, privately customized classic firearms that you would definitely love."

Hearing this, Earl's proposal was exactly what Lin Yu'an needed! He had recently been planning to purchase a rifle and systematically learn to use it.

He immediately agreed, "Mr. Earl! Of course I'm interested! Very, very interested!"

Earl's mouth corners seemed to turn up slightly as he nodded, "Good, wait for my call in a few days."

After watching Lin Yu'an drive away, Buck said to Earl, "Old fellow, finally met a young man who makes you think about taking on an apprentice?"

Earl looked at the campfire without immediately answering.

After a moment he replied, "He's very gifted, as if he's a born hunter, calm and composed, modest without arrogance, with extremely strong shooting instincts."

"In the military, this would be excellent sniper material. Too bad he's Chinese, otherwise I would definitely recommend him for the army."

On Lin Yu'an's side, he drove back to Austin with the joy of successful hunting.

When he returned to that warm apartment, it was already late at night, and Aliya had long since fallen asleep.

Lin Yu'an tiptoed into the bathroom and thoroughly washed away all his fatigue.

When he put on clean, comfortable pajamas and returned to the warm bedroom, lying beside Aliya and breathing in her familiar, reassuring fragrance, a strong, primal impulse erupted violently from deep in his heart like a long-suppressed volcano.

The thrilling and stimulating hunting of recent days had made his senses unusually sharp and yearning.

And Aliya's sleeping face, appearing especially gentle and beautiful in the moonlight, was like the most deadly catalyst, igniting all the flames in his heart.

He gently brushed aside a few strands of golden hair scattered on Aliya's cheek, then lowered his head and tenderly kissed her soft, slightly cool lips.

Aliya seemed to sense something in her sleep, letting out a satisfied soft moan.

Then she slowly opened those enchanting light green eyes.

When she saw Lin Yu'an's face full of love and desire before her, a shy blush immediately spread across her cheeks.

"Darling... you... you're back!"

Her voice carried a trace of the languid charm of just waking up.

"Yes, I'm back, my dear."

He pulled Aliya tightly into his embrace, feeling her body's softness and fragrance.

He softly recounted in her ear the thrilling adventures he had experienced at Rattlesnake Ranch over the past few days, and the interesting interactions with those Texas hunting friends.

Aliya listened quietly, her hand gently stroking Lin Yu'an's chest muscles, feeling the firmness of his muscles and the strength of his heartbeat.

When Lin Yu'an finished all his stories and the room fell into warm silence again, he lowered his head and once again kissed Aliya's lips deeply.

This kiss was no longer just a gentle touch, but filled with long-suppressed passion and desire.

The night was ink-black, moonlight like water, and the temperature in the bedroom gradually rose in their burning breath and silent love...

...

Long afterward, when all passion had gradually subsided, Lin Yu'an held Aliya tightly in his arms as she panted from satisfaction, her cheeks flushed red.

Feeling each other's body temperature and the harmony of their souls, his heart was filled with unprecedented peace and happiness.
