"It's finally here!"

Chen Yongqiang felt a surge of excitement and slowly put away his old double-barreled shotgun.

With a thought, a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with a military feel appeared in his hand.

He silently pulled the magazine and loaded a row of 7.62 bullets.

"Ten bullets should be enough to take down this beast."

Since acquiring the gun, Chen Yongqiang has been reluctant to use it because military bullets are too difficult to obtain, and every shot fired reduces the supply.

The wild boar king seemed to sense something; its small eyes gleamed with an unusual ferocity in the darkness, and it stared directly at the location where Chen Yongqiang was hiding.

"It seems we've been discovered!"

Chen Yongqiang's heart tightened. This beast was indeed intelligent; it could actually see through his carefully chosen ambush point!

Almost the instant the thought crossed his mind, the boar king let out a deafening roar.

Its massive body, like a rushing mountain, charged toward the rock where he was hiding!

"Damn it, this beast is going to fight to the death!"

Faced with this overwhelming charge, Chen Yongqiang forced himself to calm down and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The first bullet whistled out and accurately struck the boar king's thick shoulder blade.

But the area was covered with a thick layer of resinous mud armor. Although the bullet hit it, it failed to strike a vital spot, which only fueled its ferocity!

The sprinting speed did not slow down at all, and the distance was rapidly closing!

"Bang bang bang!"

Chen Yongqiang fired three more shots in quick succession, each bullet hitting the charging beast, causing blood to splatter on its dark fur.

This time, the impact finally manifested itself. The wild boar king let out a painful howl, its massive body losing its balance as it charged forward, crashing to the snow and splashing up a large cloud of snow.

"Four shots and he's down?"

Chen Yongqiang dared not be careless in the slightest. His finger remained firmly on the trigger, the muzzle of his gun fixed on the struggling black figure, preparing to fire a few more shots to ensure that he was absolutely certain of success.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly seriously injured wild boar king kicked its hind legs and changed direction.

Driven by a brute force of survival, he stopped charging at Chen Yongqiang and instead turned and sprinted into the dense forest to the side!

It didn't intend to die together with him at all. The charge just now was a feint. Its real purpose was to force him to fire, and then use the opportunity to escape into the forest!

"Trying to run away?!"

Chen Yongqiang pulled the trigger again almost as soon as it turned.

"Bang!"

The fifth bullet caught up with the fleeing figure and pierced its rear again.

But this wild boar king had an astonishingly strong vitality and willpower; even after being shot five times, its speed was still frighteningly fast.

Dragging its dripping blood, it crashed headfirst into the dense bushes, leaving only a glaring, discontinuous trail of blood on the pristine white snow before quickly disappearing into the dark depths of the forest.

Chen Yongqiang immediately stood up, aimed his gun at the direction where the wild boar king had disappeared, and fired another shot.

But the shot was blocked by a tree and missed. There were still four bullets left in the magazine.

"With such severe injuries, he definitely can't run very far!"

Chen Yongqiang gripped his Type 56 rifle, turned on his headlamp, and locked his gaze on the dark red bloodstain on the snow.

Following the trail of blood was not difficult. The bloodstains were very clear; obviously, the boar king's wounds had been repeatedly torn open during its frantic run, resulting in significant bleeding.

Besides the bloodstains, there were also messy hoof prints left on the snow in its panic.

The beam of light swept across the dim forest, and Chen Yongqiang's heart beat slightly faster, but he deliberately kept his breathing steady, his ears alertly picking up any subtle sounds ahead.

He knew that a wounded and dying beast was the most dangerous, especially in this dense forest full of obstacles.

After chasing for about a few miles, the terrain began to rise and fall.

Suddenly, Chen Yongqiang stopped in his tracks, the beam of light fixed on the trunk of a spruce tree in front of him.

About half a person's height off the ground, there was a large area of ​​fresh scratch marks, the bark of which had been completely rubbed off, revealing the white wood.

"He hit a tree, lost too much blood, and is starting to lose his balance."

Chen Yongqiang's judgment made him even more certain that the giant beast was at its last gasp.

But at the same time, we must be more vigilant, because such an environment is precisely the kind of hiding place that wild animals like to take when they are dying and making a counterattack.

This chase lasted all night long.

Chen Yongqiang's leather boots were already soaked through with snow water, and a thin layer of ice had formed on his trouser legs.

The bloodstains ahead were intermittent, but never completely disappeared. The wild boar king seemed to have inexhaustible strength, dragging its doomed body, and stubbornly traversing the rugged mountain forest.

"This beast's vitality is too tenacious."

Chen Yongqiang thought several times that he would see the huge creature lying dead on the ground at the next turn, but each time, all he saw was a bloody path stretching forward.

This was beyond his understanding of ordinary wild animals, and the uneasy premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Until the eastern horizon revealed a hazy bluish-gray hue, the faint light of day barely dispelled some of the darkness.

Chen Yongqiang stopped, not because the bloodstains had disappeared, but because there was no road ahead.

A cave, resembling the gaping maw of a wild beast, suddenly appeared beneath the steep mountain wall.

The cave entrance is surrounded by jagged rocks, with many icicles hanging from them, and it is tall and wide enough to easily accommodate a train.

The bloodstains, which had been intermittent throughout the night, stretched into the unfathomable darkness.

"Is this that beast's lair?"

Chen Yongqiang immediately became alert and dared not enter the cave rashly.

"Anyway, it's inside the cave, it can't escape!"

He forced himself to calm down. After a night of relentless pursuit, he decided to rest for a while before making any further plans.

Sitting down with his back against a cold rock, Chen Yongqiang took out his water bottle and took a sip of the spiritual spring water.

Having regained his strength, he would never have been able to chase so far without the support of this spiritual spring.

Chen Yongqiang checked the magazine of the Type 56 rifle and found that there were only four bullets left.

"I wonder what's in this cave. These bullets probably won't be enough."

He dared not force his way in. His gaze swept over the rows of withered trees and the dry grass under the snow outside the cave, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Chen Yongqiang put away his gun and began to move the scattered dead branches, and piled some dry shrubs and weeds near the cave entrance.

Since we can't easily go in, let's force it out! At least let's use smoke and fire to probe what's inside.

He took out a match and lit the pile of firewood!
