Reborn in 72, I hunt to support my family and spoil my younger sister rotten.

As soon as Lao Zheng said this, everyone present looked at Li Xiangyang with envy in their eyes.

"What good luck," someone muttered quietly.

It's understandable that they're envious, since many young people grew up listening to Old Zheng's legendary stories.

Not everyone has the opportunity to partner with Lao Zheng.

"Alright, everyone, stop standing around and get ready in your groups."

Old Zheng glanced at the crowd, ignoring the whispers.

The groups gradually dispersed, and Lao Zheng then led Li Xiangyang toward a hillside.

"I'm putting you in my group today, not just for hunting," Old Zheng said, his footsteps crunching through the snow. "I need to show you what encirclement hunting really is; this skill has to be passed down."

As they talked, the two reached the top of the hill.

The location isn't very high, but the view is excellent, with most of the mountainside in sight.

"See that? This is the best spot." Old Zheng pointed down the mountain with his pipe. "From here, we can clearly see the movements of each group and provide timely support."

Li Xiangyang nodded, his gaze following Old Zheng's pipe as it swept over various spots.

“Look over there in the northwest corner,” Old Zheng said slowly. “Zhang Changlin is leading the charge because he’s calm and collected. No matter what happens, he won’t panic.”

“Zhou Guangming has a short temper, but he’s an accurate shot. That’s why I put him on guard on the west side; the terrain there is open and good for shooting.”

"Liu De is agile and quick-witted. The complex terrain in the south is perfect for utilizing his strengths."

Every time Lao Zheng talks about someone, he explains in detail the person's characteristics and the reasons for assigning them to a position.

Li Xiangyang listened intently, nodding from time to time.

He then realized that hunting was so sophisticated that each person had to be placed in the most suitable position according to their characteristics.

Old Zheng took a drag of his cigarette and continued, "Whether it's hunting or whatever, it all boils down to the same thing: making the best use of people's talents and resources."

“Like Nightshade,” Old Zheng patted the dog beside him, “it’s intelligent, but to utilize its strengths, it needs the right opportunities.”

Nightshade seemed to understand its master's words, looked up at Old Zheng, and wagged its tail gently.

"You're talented, but talent isn't the same as experience."

"A coordinated hunt is different from a solo operation. No matter how skilled an individual is, they can't compare to a group working together seamlessly."

"You need to learn to assess situations and cooperate. That way, you'll be able to lead hunting parties effectively in the future..."

Before Old Zheng could finish speaking, Nightshade suddenly pricked up its ears, and all the hairs on its body stood on end.

"Hmm?" Old Zheng's expression also turned serious. "Something's up."

Sure enough, a series of urgent whistles were heard in the distance shortly afterward.

“Something’s not right,” Old Zheng frowned. “According to the plan, the wild boars should have been driven in from the northwest corner, but this whistle is coming from the east. Let’s go check it out!”

After saying that, Old Zheng strode off to the east. Li Xiangyang followed closely behind, watching Old Zheng's agile figure and sighing inwardly, "This old man is a bit old, but his body is indeed very strong."

Soon, the two arrived at the east side.

Through the snow-covered forest, one could see an enormous wild boar leading a pack of minions in a rampage.

"Good heavens!" Old Zheng's eyes lit up. "This is the Pig King!"

Before he could finish speaking, Old Zheng raised his gun and fired.

The wild boar had thick skin and flesh, so it only suffered a minor cut from the bullet. Enraged, it charged straight at them.

"Kid," Old Zheng suddenly joked, "if we can't take it down this time, we might both be stuck here today."

"Just make sure you hit the mark," Li Xiangyang said calmly. "Don't scare me, I'm not easily frightened."

As he spoke, Li Xiangyang picked up his gun, but did not fire immediately.

His eyes were sharp as he carefully observed the wild boar's movements.

"What courage!" Old Zheng laughed and fired another shot.

The bullet grazed the boar king's cheek, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.

This completely enraged the boar king. Its bristles stood on end, its eyes turned red, and it moved even faster.

"This is weird!" Old Zheng finally got a little anxious. "Kid, don't be hesitant, fire together!"

"boom!"

Even without Lao Zheng saying anything, Li Xiangyang knew he couldn't afford to be careless.

With the sound of the gunshot, the bullet struck the wild boar king squarely on the head.

Old Zheng was about to say a few words of praise when he saw the beast pause, shake its head, and continue charging forward, its mane bristling even more.

"this......"

Old Zheng gasped.

He had been a hunter all his life and had never seen anything like it.

What incredible luck! The bullet was stopped by the hardest part of the skull!

Li Xiangyang was also dumbfounded.

The opponent's luck was simply too incredible. He didn't die, but instead became even more ferocious, his blood-red eyes filled with savagery.

"Kid, something's not right! This beast's luck is just too outrageous!"

Old Zheng's voice even changed tone.

You should know that a single shot is usually enough to kill a wild boar.

If necessary, fire another shot.

But this guy in front of me, despite being shot three times, is still full of energy.

At this point, the wild boar king had closed to within about 100 meters, and its speed showed no signs of slowing down.

Those bloodshot eyes stared straight at them, their hateful gaze sending chills down their spines.

"Damn it!"

As they drew closer, Old Zheng suddenly put away his gun and pulled a sharp hunting knife from his waist.

This is the old hunter's intuition.

After a series of failures, he figured that if he didn't get close enough to engage the enemy today, firing his gun again would be pointless.

However, he was getting old, and this kind of desperate fighting style meant he had a very low chance of survival.

"Master Zheng, get out of the way!" Li Xiangyang shouted at the top of his lungs.

Sweat was beading on his forehead; in this situation, one mistake could mean certain death.

"Get lost!" Old Zheng slapped him across the face. "You'd better run, kid. Get lost!"

As Old Zheng finished speaking, Night Shadow let out a low growl and hunched his back.

He looked just like a hungry wolf, his eyes filled with ferocity.

Even Nightshade dared not rush forward at this moment.

Faced with absolute power, even the most formidable dog can only temporarily retreat.

"Uncle Zheng, running is useless. Besides, how old are you? If you take a knife and try to attack, you'll really be dead today. When I charge at you later, please don't follow!"

After Li Xiangyang finished speaking, he rushed towards the wild boar at lightning speed.

He gripped the hunting rifle tightly with both hands, his eyes sharp as knives.

"You damned bastard!" Old Zheng stomped his feet in anger, grabbed his hunting knife, and ran after them.

He even called out to Nightshade to follow.

"Master Zheng, why are you getting involved? Haven't you heard that a gun is fast from seven paces away, and within seven paces, it's both fast and accurate?"

"Come on!" Li Xiangyang roared, his right foot firmly planted in the snow.

At this moment, the wild boar king was less than 20 meters away from him.

But Li Xiangyang still did not pull the trigger.

Because this pig is so damn evil, it's like a chosen one.

So he knew that he only had one chance.

The wild boar king seemed to sense his imposing presence and slowed down slightly, warily eyeing the reckless hunter.

Close, closer!

At this moment, Lao Zheng, who had caught up, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Li Xiangyang. He was already prepared to knock him aside if he made a mistake.

Five meters!

Four meters!

Three meters!

It's now!

"boom!"

The sound of gunfire echoed through the valley.

Li Xiangyang's shot hit the boar king precisely at a point slightly above the space between its eyes.

With this shot, he was going to pierce the skull of this beast!
