Chapter 68: The Wild Boar Hunter Arrives, New Skills

Daguling!

Lu Ming took off his police uniform, put on a hunting outfit, and then put on a striking fluorescent hunting team uniform over it, slung his double-barreled shotgun over his shoulder.

"Haha, Mingzai, it's been a long time since you've participated in our hunting team's hunts. What made you suddenly decide to come hunting this time?"

When Lu Ming rejoined the hunting team, the older men in the team laughed and joked with him.

"Hey Old Wang, you haven't been watching the news lately, have you? Mingzai is a rising star in our Hong Kong Island Police Force, and he'll be promoted to inspector soon."

"Speaking of which, Ming-zai is really something. He destroyed the Vietnamese gang, killed Ji Zhengxiong, and arrested a major drug lord—each of these feats is enough for a cop to brag about for a lifetime. Yet Ming-zai has done so many things. If he doesn't get promoted to inspector, who will?"

"Hey, I said last time that Mingzai had the potential to be the top cop in the police force. Look how fast he's been promoted. I don't think the top cop in the police force will be replaced in two years."

,Ha ha!

The wild boar hunting team is always so lively and cheerful; these retired old men who no longer need to work maintain a good mood every day.

Listening to the old men's teasing, Lu Ming laughed and said, "I've already applied to the Governor of Hong Kong to be the top cop of the police force. All that's missing is for him to give me the approval."

His words drew laughter from everyone again.

But jokes aside, we still have to get to work.

As the team leader, Uncle Liang assigned tasks to everyone. As always, Lu Ming was allowed to hunt alone. His hunting skills had been recognized by everyone before, and now, after this period of training and the police team's achievements, the leaders were even more convinced of Lu Ming's abilities and put their minds at ease.

Lu Ming watched as the old men slung their hunting rifles over their shoulders and searched around following the wild boar's tracks. He glanced around with his eagle eyes, then pressed his hand to the ground.

call!

Bloodhound.

As the mist dissipated, a bloodhound, its fur a deep soot color and its thick, drooping face, appeared, wagging its tail and affectionately rubbing against Lu Ming's trouser leg.

"Zhuiming, remember the scent of the wild boar on the ground and lead me to it."

Lu Ming squatted down and patted the Bloodhound's head, pointing to the shallow footprints left by the pig's hooves on the ground, so that the Bloodhound could remember the scent of the wild boar.

When it comes to tracking, Bloodhound is his most reliable partner.

From the moment he was able to summon Bloodhounds, he never showed them to acquaintances, always secretly summoning them to help him track down enemies.

From beginning to end, he always used the Bloodhound as a secret weapon.

The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind!

Bloodhounds' tracking abilities are so powerful that if this information were to be leaked, it could easily arouse the suspicion of others, leading to their deaths.

Therefore, Lu Ming always kept the Bloodhound hidden, adhering to the principle of blending in with the world.

Wang Wang!

The bloodhound lowered its head to sniff the footprints carefully, then sniffed the air to identify the scent molecules, before barking wildly in a certain direction.

"Second Brother, I've spotted you."

Lu Ming's eyes flashed, and he took the double-barreled shotgun from his shoulder. Led by the bloodhound, he followed the scent of the wild boar and finally found it behind a cluster of rocks. The wild boar had run down the mountain and caused trouble in the villagers' homes.

A family of three.

Besides a large wild boar, there were two piglets, who were leisurely lying in their messy burrow, wagging their tails.

Seeing the heartwarming scene before him, Lu Ming decided to set off some "fireworks" to liven things up. His double-barreled shotgun slowly emerged from behind the rock, its dark muzzle like the eyes of death, fixed on the largest wild boar.

The next moment————

boom!

With a gunshot, the heartwarming scene was shattered in an instant. The large wild boar, the obvious target, was hit by the bullet and let out a shrill scream. The fear of death drove it into a frenzy. The two little wild boars that were resting on its body had just stood up with their fur standing on end when they were immediately kicked away by their mother.

Lu Ming quickly folded open the gun barrel, inserted two bullets, closed it, and fired.

As the gunshot rang out, the struggling wild boar died instantly and lay motionless on the ground.

hum!

The two surviving piglets were clearly terrified and ran around in all directions.

With a howl, Lu Ming sent the Bloodhounds flying like arrows, leaping off the ground and tackling one of the wild boars to the ground.

"Well done."

Lu Ming quickly followed, looking at the little wild boar that had been pinned to the ground by the Bloodhound. He patted the dog's head and praised it, which made the Bloodhound bark twice, clearly pleased.

hum!

The little wild boar struggled incessantly, its small eyes filled with fear.

"Little thing, be quiet. I won't kill you so soon."

Lu Ming seemed to understand the fear in the little wild boar's eyes, smiled and comforted it, then pressed the little wild boar to the ground with one hand, and no matter how the little wild boar struggled, it could not escape from his palm.

His hunting count on his panel has reached 90. With the nurturing of the "Hunting" skill, even a slight increase each time has made his physical attributes extraordinary.

Although he had never actually tested his physical abilities, based on his daily experience, he guessed that he could fight a wild boar with his bare hands without getting hurt.

Of course, given the availability of guns, he wouldn't be foolish enough to fight wild animals with his bare hands.

That's not civilized at all.

"Little thing, let me see the effects of my new skill."

Lu Ming's mind raced, and then, amidst the little wild boar's terrified gaze, he placed a hand on its forehead.

Skill-

Animal taming!

It can alter the perceptions of birds, beasts, aquatic creatures, and insects, causing them to submit from the inside out and forever obey the master's commands.

Wild animals with lower intelligence and cognitive abilities are easier to tame.

Lu Ming's eyes flashed, and his spiritual energy surged, pouring into the little wild boar's mind like a tide. The little wild boar froze instantly, its terrified eyes darting around erratically, as if a great storm was raging in its mind.

Cognitive restructuring, surrender of mind and body.

After a while, the little wild boar's eyes regained their clarity, revealing a clear wisdom in its small eyes, and it grunted twice at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming instantly understood what the little wild boar meant. Since unlocking the "Beast Taming" skill, he had also gained knowledge and understanding of something like "beast language".

Of course, he doesn't understand the language of wild animals, but he can understand what they are trying to express by reading their body language, eye movements, and other details.

The little wild boar just grunted twice to show him affection.

Lu Ming released his grip, and the Bloodhound crouched low, eyeing the little wild boar intently. If the little wild boar dared to run away, it would immediately pounce and knock it down again.

Under Lu Ming's expectant gaze, the little wild boar wobbled to its feet, its short, thick tail, about the size of a thumb, wagging like a propeller, and nuzzling Lu Ming's trouser leg affectionately, just like a bloodhound when it is summoned.

Lu Ming looked at his new little brother with curiosity. "Little guy, spin around." The little wild boar, whether it understood or not, spun around on the spot.

"Get down!"

"Sit up!"

"Somersault!"

Lu Ming teased the little wild boar as if it were a puppy. Once he was sure the little boar seemed to have completely submitted to him, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he ordered, "Charge! Run into the rocks and die!"

The little wild boar wagged its tail, then, like a suicide squad charging into battle, it pushed off the ground with its hind legs and charged towards the dark rocks with all its might.

"This little guy is really daring to kill himself!"

Lu Ming's eyes lit up. The beasts he tamed with his beast taming skills would completely obey his commands, even if it meant their death.

"Zhuiming, let go of this little guy!"

Lu Ming waved his hand, signaling the Bloodhounds to release the wild boar that they had just pounced on.
