Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

The dry branches and shrubs sparked at the slightest touch, quickly bursting into flames with a crackling sound.

The thick smoke was initially grayish-white, then turned deep black, and carried by the cold wind, it entered the cave.

Deep inside the cave, there was a moment of deathly silence, followed by the sound of hooves and suppressed groans from those choking on the smoke.

The sound grew louder and more chaotic, as if the entire cave was shaking!

Chen Yongqiang gripped his gun tightly, ready to respond.

Suddenly, a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds led the charge out of the thick smoke! Behind it, a cacophony of footsteps followed, and there were more than a dozen wild boars of various sizes.

Upon seeing that it was an ordinary wild boar, Chen Yongqiang put away his Type 56 rifle and switched to his double-barreled shotgun.

"Bang!"

The first shot rang out, and the wild boar at the front rolled to the ground.

"Bang!"

The second shot came almost without pause, and another burly boar that tried to rush past from the side was also hit by the shotgun shell, howling as it fell into the snow.

Chen Yongqiang remained calm and quickly ejected the hot cartridge case, then took out a new bullet from his waist and loaded it into the chamber.

The wild boar herd was thrown into complete chaos. The firelight and thick smoke at the cave entrance, the stench of blood from their fallen companions, and the deadly roars echoed through the air.

This plunged them into a headless panic, causing them to instinctively charge outwards.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The double-barreled shotgun spewed fire continuously, and with each shot, at least one wild boar rolled to the ground.

Shotguns exhibit a terrifying kill radius at close range; whether attempting a head-on assault or trying to escape by flanking maneuvers, none can break through this deadly barrage.

When the last wild boar that tried to squeeze through the hole collapsed at the sound of the gunshot, the entrance to the burrow fell silent for a moment, with only the crackling of burning firewood remaining.

Chen Yongqiang stood up straight, the muzzle of his gun still emitting wisps of smoke. In front of him lay the carcasses of more than a dozen wild boars, lying haphazardly.

He pried open the shotgun, ejected two hot cartridge cases, and took out a new bullet to load into the chamber.

"After this clearing, the wild boar population should be effectively controlled."

He muttered to himself, as if making a summary of a stage in his life.

Including those hunted a few days ago, he has killed more than thirty wild boars of various sizes.

The massive herds of pigs that ravaged the forests and destroyed crops have now been almost completely eradicated.

Now, only the wild boar king, hiding in the cave, remains.

Chen Yongqiang did not rush into the dangerous and unknown cave. He waited until he confirmed that there were no other wild boars lurking there.

He then began to collect the wild boars that had fallen near the cave entrance into his spatial storage.

Chen Yongqiang was absolutely certain that the wild boar king was seriously injured.

The damage caused by five military rifle bullets was no joke. Coupled with blood loss and the exhaustion from a night of fleeing, it must have been at its last gasp.

The longer it drags on, the more stamina it loses, and the more its injuries will worsen.

Chen Yongqiang was very patient. The firelight outside the cave gradually weakened, and the thick smoke thinned out. It was almost noon.

"That should be about right."

He made his judgment. No matter how tenacious the wild boar king was, after being shot five times, losing so much blood, and enduring most of the day in this cold cave, it must have reached its limit.

He slung the double-barreled shotgun over his shoulder, then gripped the more imposing Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand again, and switched on his headlamp.

A bright beam of light illuminated the intermittent, dark red bloodstains and messy hoofprints on the ground.

Chen Yongqiang lowered his body, the muzzle of his gun moving in sync with his gaze, and slowly entered the cave in a standard tactical stance.

The entrance to the cave is fairly spacious, but the further you go in, the narrower the space becomes, forming a narrow passageway.

The cave walls are not natural rock; instead, they present a strange structure resembling rammed earth intertwined with the roots of some kind of plant.

The surface was covered with scratches of varying depths, clearly caused by the long-term rubbing of the wild boars where they had lived.

Deeper inside, a chilling wind seeped out, indicating that this was no ordinary beast's lair; it seemed to conceal a deeper secret, waiting to be discovered.

Chen Yongqiang walked through the tunnel, his miner's lamp sweeping across a slightly open recessed wall on the left.

The beam of light froze, and there lay the enormous wild boar king on its side on a pile of hay at the bottom of the concave wall, its massive body almost filling the corner.

Its eyes were closed, its fangs were still covered with dark brown blood foam, and the blood around the bullet holes in its body had congealed and turned black. There was no breathing, and it was clear that it had lost all life.

Chen Yongqiang did not immediately step forward. His gun was still pointed warily at the corpse, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to the area behind the boar king's body.

There, the cave didn't end; the narrow passageway turned a corner and continued to extend deeper into the mountainside.

Apart from the faint sounds of wind and dripping water coming from deep within the cave, there were no other unusual noises.

He approached the boar king's carcass, and after confirming that it had completely lost its life, he put this last trophy into his storage space.

Having resolved his major concern, Chen Yongqiang breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the unfathomable depths of the cave.

He gripped the Type 56 rifle tightly, preparing to continue his investigation.

Just as he was about to take a step, a notification sound rang in his mind:

[The system has detected that the host has completed one of the Mountain God's trials: hunting down ferocious beasts that plague the forests and gaining the power of a hero.]

The moment the voice fell, a warm current surged out from the depths of his body without warning, quickly flowing through his limbs and bones.

Chen Yongqiang felt a series of subtle crackling sounds emanating from his bones, making them feel tighter and more resilient.

The fatigue left from the night's chase vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented surge of energy, and his five senses became even more acute.

He subconsciously clenched his fist and felt his strength increase significantly.

"He's already this strong after just acquiring the power of a hero. If he passes all the tests, wouldn't he be able to cultivate immortality?" Feeling the surging power within his body, Chen Yongqiang was filled with excitement.

If one can truly embark on the path to immortality, then one will completely transcend the boundaries of the mortal world and step into a completely new level of life.

[Ding! System reward settlement in progress.]

[The materials for the Body Tempering Pill have been gathered: a century-old ginseng, a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, the heart of a wild boar king...]

[Rewards: Body Tempering Pill Recipe x1, Blessing Points +500, 7.62mm Bullets x1000]

This hunt has finally gathered all the materials needed to refine the Body Tempering Pill!

What surprised him even more was the system's generous reward, which not only provided a precious elixir recipe but also a whole thousand much-needed rifle bullets.

Chen Yongqiang suppressed his excitement and turned his gaze back to the depths of the cave.

[Warning: Unknown dangers lurk deep within the cave, which the host is currently unable to handle.]

Seeing this system warning instantly calmed him down.

"I'll listen to the system and wait until I'm stronger before trying again." Chen Yongqiang suppressed the impulse to act rashly.

Stepping out of the cave, the sunlight on the snow was a bit dazzling, but it brought a reassuring warmth to my body.

He glanced back at the dark cave entrance, knowing full well that this was far from over. But now, he needed patience.

After tallying his substantial loot, Chen Yongqiang slung his gun over his shoulder and strode away down the mountain.
