Finally, just before the sun began to set, Lin Yu and Huzi reached the valley where the wild boar herd lived.
Lin Yu found a secluded spot, took out a basin, and filled it with spiritual spring water for Huzi.
The man and his dog had been running through the mountains all day, hunting so many animals. Even though their bodies were enhanced, they still felt a little tired, mentally.
Mainly, it was tiring to capture all those young boars, and it was thanks to Huzi that they had so much success. Lin Yu alone would never have achieved this.
This is why good hunting dogs are like family to hunters.
In the past, when technology was not advanced, a good hunting dog could help a hunter support his family.
This is no exaggeration at all.
The man and dog drank their water and ate white steamed buns that Lin Yu had taken from his spatial storage.
He didn't bring meat buns because wild boars have an extremely keen sense of smell. Even from hundreds of meters away, they can smell the fragrance of meat buns.
Finally, the sun set and the whole boar family entered their den.
After observing for an hour, Lin Yu had determined the number of wild boars in the herd.
There were two enormous boars, each weighing over 300 jin.
Five old sows, each weighing over 200 jin.
Six boars weighing around 150 jin, eleven boars weighing around 100 jin, and over ten piglets weighing around 20 jin.
The entire herd was larger than the one they had seen by the river last night.
Lin Yu looked at the surrounding terrain and understood why these boars were so large.
The vegetation around the valley was very lush, and there was a small puddle in the valley. This puddle must have been formed from underground water.
However, the water level was almost dry now. No wonder the big boar had led a group of half-grown boars to the river last night. They must have run out of water in the puddle.
In the nearby mountains, only the South China tiger or the black bear could be considered natural predators of this large herd.
However, the boars retreated to their den at night.
Even if a predator came, the two big boars could block the entrance, leaving the bear or tiger helpless.
Don't underestimate the destructive power of a male wild boar. A 300-jin male boar has tusks that can be almost 10 centimeters long.
Not to mention the several old sows.
Even if a tiger were to carry away a few piglets from such a large herd, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but gasp.
He didn't know if his decision tonight was right.
He looked down at Huzi, who was lying beside him, and saw that the dog's face was full of worry.
It was understandable, under normal circumstances, Huzi could run away if he couldn't fight.
But this time, it was his idiotic master who had forced him to do it, making Huzi's heart crumble.
Another hour passed, and finally, the den became silent.
The man and dog crept out of their hiding place and quietly moved towards the den.
Lin Yu carried his Marlin 1895 "Hunter" lever-action rifle, bent over, and carefully moved forward.
Huzi also tucked his tail between his legs, not even daring to stick his tongue out, and cowered behind Lin Yu.
The man and dog were full of the aura of a sneaky, opportunistic player, even the Japanese soldiers who invaded villages in the past didn't have such a sneaky demeanor.
Lin Yu first released large trees and stones from his spatial storage, creating two walls.
Then, he took out a pile of dry wood and placed it in front of the den's entrance.
He placed all the plants he had collected along the way, which had a pungent smell, on the pile of wood.
Lin Yu sprinkled a little white wine on the dry wood, then quickly struck a match, lit the fire, and quickly ran to the upper slope to set up his rifle.
Huzi followed closely behind, hiding safely on the slope.
The dry wood, combined with the high-proof white wine, instantly engulfed the entrance with flames.
The pungent plants emitted thick smoke that drifted into the den.
"Humph...Humph..."
A series of snorts came from inside the den.
Although flames filled the entrance, they didn't burn very high.
Lin Yu had intentionally created this situation. If the flames were too high, the two big boars wouldn't dare to charge out, which wouldn't work for him.
He wouldn't dare to charge into the den with those two behemoths guarding the entrance.
Sure enough, two huge shadows burst out of the den.
Following closely behind was a group of boars of various sizes.
The two walls Lin Yu had built couldn't stop the big boars from charging.
Moreover, with so many boars, it was impossible to keep them all.
Lin Yu's only goal was the boars weighing under 200 jin.
He wasn't interested in hunting the two big boars or the old sows. The meat of wild boars that had grown so large in the Yanshan Mountains would surely be tough.
Even if he took them back to the factory, they wouldn't be easy to process.
Most importantly, Lin Yu planned to keep those two big boars.
With those two giants around, next year at this time, they would be able to form another large herd of wild boars.
"Bang Bang Bang..." Gunshots echoed constantly. After firing all the bullets from his Marlin rifle, Lin Yu quickly switched to his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, aiming at the boar herd below.
When the Type 56 rifle ran out of bullets, the two big boars had already broken through the barriers, leading several old sows and half-grown boars out.
Some piglets, only twenty to thirty jin, remained near the entrance, bumping into each other, confused and disoriented.
This wasn't the big boars' fault for ignoring those piglets.
Fear of fire, fear of loud noises, these are animal instincts.
No matter how ferocious an animal, as soon as they hear gunshots, they will be scared and run in all directions.
Seeing the big boars charge out, Lin Yu jumped off the slope, carrying two Colt Python revolvers in his hands, and quickly ran down with Huzi.
He caught the young boars running around and put them in his spatial storage.
Ten minutes later, the boars were gone, and Lin Yu started counting his spoils.
One old sow weighing 200 jin, four boars weighing around 150 jin.
Seven boars weighing around 100 jin, and the eight young boars that were already in his spatial storage.
Three males and five females, including the sow with the broken leg, the number of boars in Lin Yu's spatial storage had reached a considerable size.
