American Hunting: Starting with Solitary Life in the Wilderness

Chapter 90 Hunting the Wild Boar King (This chapter is a bonus for the new alliance leader!)
Several robust wild boars rushed out of the willow grove in a panic, heading straight for the open area where they were lying in ambush!

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 the boar king! Just as it charged into the optimal shooting range of forty meters, his eyes narrowed, and the drawn bowstring was suddenly released!

"Whoosh-!"

The heavy hunting arrow slashed through the air like a black lightning bolt, whistling as it accurately struck the boar king's vital area behind his left foreleg, near his heart and lungs!

"Pfft——!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was clear and piercing! The arrow pierced deep into its body with unstoppable force, the powerful kinetic energy propelling the fatal arrowhead deep into its chest cavity!
“Ouch——!!!”

The boar king let out a shrill roar filled with pain and rage, and its massive body staggered, the immense inertia causing it to roll forward several times.

"Well done, Lin!"

Buck roared excitedly, and at the same time, the shotgun in his hand roared deafeningly, knocking down another sow that was trying to escape.

Meanwhile, Earl, positioned at the top of the hill, also displayed his sharpshooting skills.

Every crisp shot from his rifle was aimed precisely at the wild boar's vital points—calm, efficient, and deadly!
Chad directed his hounds to harass and chase the pigs around the perimeter, skillfully controlling the chaotic situation.

Just then, the severely injured boar king stood up again and suddenly turned around, dragging its wounds as it fled desperately towards a dense thicket of thorns!
It was clearly trying to use the complex terrain to escape its pursuers!

"Oh no! He's not dead yet! Stop him!"

Buck's expression changed drastically, and he quickly raised his gun to fire, but the cunning boar king dodged the shots by darting left and right.

Lin Yu'an's eyes narrowed, knowing this was a crucial moment! Without the slightest hesitation, he darted out of the bushes like a cheetah, quickly drawing a second arrow and nocking it into his bow.

This time, he must find shooting opportunities while in motion!
His heavy-duty hiking boots provided excellent grip on the slippery ground, making every step he took as steady as a rock.

He followed closely behind the boar king for about thirty meters, trying his best not to let it get any further ahead.

The opportunity has arrived! Just as the Boar King leaped up to avoid a fallen dead tree, his body briefly hovered in the air!

Lin Yu'an's steps suddenly stopped. Without even having time to aim precisely, he relied entirely on his hunter's intuition and muscle memory to decisively draw the bow and release it in one smooth motion!
"Whoosh!!!"

Then a second arrow whistled out and pierced the boar's ribcage!

"puff--!!!"

"Ouch——!"

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

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

The mountains and forests returned to a deathly silence.

Lin Yu'an maintained his archery posture until he was certain that the boar king was completely dead, then slowly lowered the bow in his hand.

"Lin! Are you alright?"

Buck, Earl, and Chad came running up, panting.

When they saw the enormous boar king and the deadly arrow that was almost completely embedded in its body, their faces were filled with incredible admiration.

"My God! Incredible! Lin! Those two arrows... were shot so well!" Buck exclaimed excitedly.

Even Earl's perpetually icy face showed a rare smile, and he solemnly gave a thumbs up: "Lin, you will grow into a true hunter."

Chad was completely dumbfounded; all his previous contempt and doubt had been shattered.

His eyes were now filled with admiration as he looked at Lin Yu'an: "Lin...you...you're simply amazing! I've never seen such a great archer in my entire life!"

With the fall of the boar king, the remaining wild boars were quickly wiped out.

A thrilling Texas Hold'em pig hunt came to a perfect end thanks to the team's seamless cooperation.

The joy of a successful hunt dispelled all the tension and fatigue.

After a brief celebration, the group began the busy but orderly process of handling the spoils. Together, they hauled several wild boars onto a pickup truck and transported them back to Buck's slaughterhouse.

Buck and Earl were in charge of cleaning the internal organs, while Chad was in charge of washing. They worked skillfully and efficiently!

Lin Yu'an took the initiative to take on the task of cutting the pork.

His knife skills were exquisite and skillful; each piece of meat was cleaned thoroughly, preserving its edibility to the greatest extent possible.

Earl watched Lin Yu'an's fluid movements and exclaimed in surprise, "Lin, your method of cutting pork looks more professional than ours, these two old guys!"

Lin Yu'an replied with a smile, "Mr. Earl, when I was in China, my greatest joy as a child was watching pigs being slaughtered, and over time I learned some of the techniques."

As the sun set, the last wild boar was also processed.

All the spoils included several large pieces of delicious wild boar meat, several complete wild boar hides, and the offal that the hunting dogs deserved as a reward.

Buck Jones took a few bottles of chilled local craft beer from the refrigerator in the car and handed them to everyone, saying heartily, "Come on, guys! Cheers to our successful hunt today! And to our new friend—Lin, the 'sharp archer' from China!"

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their beer bottles, making a loud clinking sound! The icy beer slid down their throats, taking away all the fatigue and hard work, leaving only a heart full of pride and joy.

That evening, a roaring campfire was lit again in Buck's farmhouse, filling the air with the mouthwatering aroma of roasted wild boar. Although the wild boar meat still had a slightly gamey smell, fortunately, this wasn't a solitary wilderness but a civilized society with plenty of ingredients, which helped to remove most of the gamey odor.

The group sat around the campfire, eating meat and drinking heartily, chatting about the thrills and excitement of the day's hunt, as well as the interesting hunting stories they had experienced.

Although Lin Yu'an doesn't like drinking, he couldn't help but have a few more drinks in this lively atmosphere.

His relationship with Buck, Earl, and Chad also quickly became closer and more harmonious in this atmosphere filled with alcohol, barbecue, and common topics among men.

The next day, when saying goodbye, Buck held Lin Yu'an's hand tightly, his eyes filled with a sincere invitation.

"Lin! This hunt was absolutely exhilarating! I haven't felt this excited in ages! Next time! Come again next time!"

"Let's go and meet those even more cunning white-tailed deer, or... challenge 'Devil's Canyon' where cougars roam!"

Lin Yu'an smiled and nodded, saying, "Mr. Buck, I would be very happy to fight alongside you again!"

Earl, who had been silent all along, suddenly called out to Lin Yu'an as he was about to get into the car and leave.

"Forest."

Earl's voice was still hoarse and deep, but his eyes held a newfound seriousness and appreciation.

Earl said slowly, "Your archery skills are indeed outstanding, among the best I have ever seen."

"However, the limitations of bows and arrows are too great on this land. 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 to a place where I know a retired gunsmith from the Winchester Company.”

"He also has some very rare, custom-made classic firearms that you will definitely love."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu'an felt that Earl's suggestion was like a godsend! He was currently preparing to purchase a rifle and systematically learn how to use it.

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

Earl's lips seemed to curl slightly upwards, and he nodded: "Very good, wait for my call in a few days."

After watching Lin Yu'an drive away, Buck said to Earl, "Old man, have you finally met a young fellow who makes you want to take him on as an apprentice?"

Earl looked at the campfire and did not answer him immediately.

After a moment, he replied: "He is very gifted, as if he were a born hunter. He is calm, humble and not arrogant, and has an extremely strong shooting feel."

"He was an outstanding sniper prospect in the army. It's a pity he's Chinese, otherwise I would definitely recommend him for the army."

Lin Yu'an, filled with the joy of a successful hunt, drove back to Austin.

It was late at night when they returned to the cozy apartment, and Arya was already fast asleep.

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

He returned to the warm bedroom, dressed in clean and comfortable pajamas, and lay down next to Arya.

As he felt her familiar and comforting fragrance, a strong, primal urge, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, erupted violently from the depths of his heart.

The thrilling hunt of the past few days had made his senses exceptionally sharp and eager.

Arya's sleeping face, which looked especially delicate and beautiful in the moonlight, was like the most lethal catalyst, igniting all the flames in his heart.

He gently brushed aside a few strands of golden hair that had fallen across Arya's cheek, then lowered his head and tenderly kissed her soft, slightly cool lips.

Arya seemed to sense something in her sleep and let out a soft, contented moan.

Then, she slowly opened her captivating pale green eyes.

When she saw that it was Lin Yu'an's face, which was full of love and longing, a shy blush immediately appeared on her face.

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

Her voice carried a hint of languidness and coquettishness, as if she had just woken up.

"Well, I'm back, honey."

He held Arya tightly in his arms, feeling the softness and fragrance of her body.

He whispered in her ear about the thrills and excitement he had experienced at the rattlesnake farm over the past few days, as well as the interesting interactions he had with the Texas hunters.

Arya 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 telling his story, and the room fell into a warm silence once again, he lowered his head and kissed Ailiya's lips deeply again.

This kiss was no longer a fleeting encounter, but rather filled with long-suppressed passion and desire.

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight as soft as water, and the temperature in the bedroom gradually rose amidst their heated breaths and silent love...

……

After a long time, when all the passion gradually subsided.

Lin Yu'an held Alia tightly in his arms, who was panting softly with satisfaction and whose cheeks were flushed.

Feeling the warmth of each other's bodies and the harmony of our souls, my heart was filled with an unprecedented peace and happiness.
