The First Military God of the Border

Chapter 8: We can't exactly bring the Zhang family to warm our beds, can we?

Lin Hui was fine after a night of hard work and got up early.

But the water kite's small body couldn't withstand it.

After a long night of hard work, Shui Feiyuan was still fast asleep. Lin Hui tenderly covered her with the only blanket, without disturbing her.

Lin Hui sighed, this wife is simply a treasure. Time and time again, she makes him linger and reluctant to stop. He loves her so much, so naturally he has to treat her well.

His plan remains the same: to go hunting in the mountains and stock up on food while it's still accessible.

After lighting a fire and eating a simple meal, Lin Hui headed towards the depths of the mountains.

The snow on the mountain had not melted, and the whole world was covered in a silvery white. The road up the mountain was extremely slippery. Although it was not impossible to walk, it was not easy to walk.

He took the hidden bow and arrows and knife with him, and based on his past experience, chose a sunny spot in the woods and went inside.

Before long, Lin Hui spotted his prey. There was a group of wild boars, six or seven in total, deep in the woods not far away. The largest of them weighed at least 300 pounds.

Lin Hui licked his lips, chuckled, and chose the largest wild boar as his target.

If we kill this big guy, we won't have to worry about food all winter.

Lin Hui slowly approached, looking at the magnificent wild boar, its body still covered in icicles, its tusks protruding, resembling a mountain overlord.

Lin Hui held his breath and stared wide-eyed.

This is huge! In both his lives, this is the first time he has ever encountered such a large wild boar.

In fact, experienced hunters who frequent the mountains know that wild boars are the truly terrifying creatures in the mountains, even more difficult to hunt than tigers and bears.

Wild boars have thick, tough skin and bristles as stiff as wire, making it impossible to use ordinary bows and arrows against such a large creature.

What's even more terrifying is that wild boars are omnivorous and can eat anything. If they aren't killed, they often turn on hunters and become their lunch.

Therefore, even experienced hunters generally wouldn't dare to attack a wild boar without the help of a partner.

But Lin Hui is different. To him, no matter how ferocious the wild beast is, as long as he encounters it, it is food.

The iron-rimmed bow in his hand had a strong draw weight, and the willow-leaf arrows used by the border troops had an extremely powerful piercing force, so it was no problem to pierce through the wild boar's defenses with a single arrow.

"What good luck! I encountered a wild boar as soon as I entered the mountains. I'm sorry, I need to eat too, so I'll have to kill you and eat your meat."

Lin Hui chuckled, nocked his bow and arrow, and crouched low as he walked forward, intending to choose the right moment to strike and kill.

Soon, the opportunity came. Taking advantage of the moment when the wild boar was rooting in the soil, Lin Hui decisively shot an arrow.

Lin Hui aimed at a very tricky spot, and the arrow shot out with a powerful whooshing sound. The wild boar reacted quickly and was about to charge forward when the arrow was already there.

But just as it was about to hit, another arrow struck the wild boar in the neck from another direction.

However, the arrow's power was limited, merely piercing the skin and flesh.

This completely disrupted Lin Hui's arrows, rendering them powerless. Instead of killing the wild boar, it thoroughly enraged it.

With a painful howl, the wild boar went completely berserk, its massive body charging forward like a tank, heading straight for the archer.

"We're doomed, we're doomed! Who is this person who's so blind? They're practically asking for death!"

A wild boar that has been fully enraged is far more terrifying than a tiger or lion; even he wouldn't dare say he could completely subdue it.

If the wild boar gets away, there will be no meat left for you. If it goes berserk and charges into the village, a large number of people will suffer.

Lin Hui didn't have time to think and rushed out, but before he could run a few steps, an arrow came straight at him and stuck into a big tree next to him.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice came from the other side: "Stop! This is the prey I shot first. If you dare to take it, don't blame my arrow for being blind."

Lin Hui steadied himself and looked closely. He saw a woman in purple riding a horse not far away.

The woman was very beautiful, with her hair tied up in a high spiral, her skin as white as snow, and her features exquisite. Her eyes were bright and piercing, giving off an aura that kept strangers at bay.

"Girl, don't be careless. An enraged wild boar is more ferocious than a tiger. You can't handle it alone."

Lin Hui hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

But the woman in purple snorted coldly, not taking Lin Hui's words to heart at all. Instead, she mocked, "You're incompetent and you won't allow others to hunt? You better watch out, I'll show you what it means to be a woman who is just as capable as a man."

After saying that, he spurred his horse and charged towards the wild boar, looking dashing and heroic, but his actual strength was unknown.

The enraged wild boar saw the horses charging towards it and instead of retreating, it charged forward. Its hundreds of pounds of weight caused the ground to tremble slightly as it sprinted.

"You beast, I'll kill you!"

The woman in purple smiled and calmly nocked an arrow at the charging wild boar.

She aimed for the wild boar's neck, and her method was correct. Her aim and power were also excellent, and the arrow struck the boar's neck squarely, penetrating deep into the skin.

If it were an ordinary prey, such an arrow would be enough to kill it, but what is he facing now?

A wild boar weighing 300 jin (150 kg).

Although the arrow wounded the wild boar, it did not stop it. On the contrary, it made the wild boar even more ferocious, and its charging speed not only did not decrease, but increased.

This was a situation the woman in purple had not anticipated.

In her desperation, she tried to turn her horse around and leave quickly, but it was too late.

The wild boar rammed into the horse with tremendous force, its two tusks, powerful enough to tear wood apart, deeply embedded themselves in the horse's abdomen. As the boar's head slammed upwards, blood gushed out.

The horse neighed and was thrown off its back, falling to the ground. The woman in purple on its back was not spared either. The moment she hit the horse, the powerful inertia threw her high into the air, causing her to fall into the dry grass in the distance.

After knocking the horse away, the wild boar still had no intention of letting the woman go. With a powerful kick of its four hooves, it charged at her again.

The ground trembled instantly, and the woman was in imminent danger.

Seeing that the situation was dire, Lin Hui knew that if he didn't act soon, the woman in purple would be devoured by pigs. He absolutely could not allow such a beautiful woman to be taken by pigs.

He immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow from the side. The arrow struck the boar's foreleg perfectly, piercing through the leg and shattering the bone. The boar's momentum instantly weakened.

The wild boar turned its head to look at him unwillingly, but Lin Hui was already poised to strike again.

"Awooo..."

With a clear squeal, the wild boar turned and charged at Lin Hui, but what good would it do?

One of its front legs was already useless, and Lin Hui had made preparations in advance.

Lin Hui moved with incredible speed, nocking and firing three arrows in quick succession, all of which hit the wild boar.

Logically speaking, a wild boar that has eaten so many arrows should have been dead long ago, but this wild boar completely overturned Lin Hui's understanding.

Despite being so badly injured, instead of taking advantage of his remaining strength to escape, he continued to charge towards Lin Hui.

Seeing the wild boar so close to him, Lin Hui dared not be careless. His horse had just been knocked away by the boar, and if he were hit by it, he would be seriously injured if not killed.

Lin Hui hurriedly rushed backward, trying to create distance between himself and the wild boar. Although Lin Hui was fast, how could he outrun a wild boar that was fighting back desperately?

In a moment of urgency, Lin Hui decisively drew his long sword.

Turning his head, he saw that the wild boar had already lowered its head and was gathering its strength, no more than a meter away from him. In a moment of desperation, Lin Hui had a flash of inspiration. He used one foot to step on a nearby tree for leverage, and followed closely behind with the other foot. With a somersault, he landed behind the wild boar.

The moment the wild boar turned to attack, Lin Hui drew his longsword and thrust it sharply towards the boar's neck. The sharp blade easily sliced ​​through the boar's neck, and a large amount of blood gushed out instantly.

The wild boar was about to charge forward, which further deepened the penetration of the long knife into its neck. Soon, half of the long knife was already embedded in the wild boar's body.

The wild boar suffered internal injuries and massive bleeding, and finally succumbed to its injuries.

It crashed down with a thud, its massive body smashing into a large tree, causing the tree to tremble and shake twice, and a considerable amount of snow fell down.

Lin Hui wiped the snow off his face and chuckled.

This wild boar is quite large. With this big guy, we won't have to worry about food for the rest of the winter.

However, Lin Hui did not immediately prepare the wild boar meat. Instead, he turned and walked towards the woman who had been knocked away by the wild boar. At this moment, the woman was already unconscious.

Lin Hui looked at the woman and was in a dilemma. He couldn't just abandon such a beauty, could he?

But how should we manage it? We can't exactly take it back to warm the bed, can we?

If that's the case, I'd be quite happy riding two horses by myself, but the small bed probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

What should we do?
