Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

"Is that so? Do you know what bit it?" Chen Yongqiang wanted to find out more.

"I don't know. When I got there, He Jun was already unconscious and couldn't speak. The wounds were deep and messy, not like those of an ordinary wild animal, but more like..." Ding Wanru didn't dare to continue.

Chen Yongqiang quickly guessed at several common wild animals, ruling out the Siberian tiger first. If they encountered a tiger, He Jun wouldn't be able to return.

"It's probably a lynx, or a wild boar that's gone berserk."

Ding Wanru's mind was filled with thoughts of Chen Yongqiang: "If it's not important, you shouldn't go up the mountain."

"He Jun's air rifle is no good; it can barely even shoot a rabbit. My gun is different." Chen Yongqiang patted the rifle on his shoulder.

Ding Wanru couldn't dissuade him, so she could only stand at the courtyard gate and watch him and Tianlang walk slowly toward Qinglong Mountain, one after the other, her eyes full of worry.

As they walked up the mountain, Chen Yongqiang wasn't too worried.

Now he has plenty of ammunition, and the firepower of the Type 56 8/8 can't be compared to that of an air rifle.

With Tianlang as a capable helper, even if he were to run into a Siberian tiger by sheer bad luck, he was confident he could take it down.

Arriving at the mountain god temple halfway up the mountain, Chen Yongqiang went inside as usual, took out the incense he had prepared, lit it, and respectfully placed it in the incense burner, silently reciting a few words.

This is an old custom for hunters going into the mountains, to pray for a safe and smooth journey.

A system notification sounded in Chen Yongqiang's mind:

[Abnormalities detected in wild animals in Qinglong Mountain: Snow leopards, having experienced the horrors of attacking humans, have exhibited distorted behavior and a surge in aggression.]

[Potentially poses a deadly threat to lone villagers and small livestock, with a continuing risk of injury.]

[Mission Objective: Track down and hunt down the mutated snow leopard]

[Basic Reward: Divine Splendor Points, 300 points]

[Equipment Reward: 1 98k Sniper Rifle]

[Resource Reward: 3 sets of high-quality traps]

"It turns out a snow leopard bit He Jun!"

This was no ordinary wild beast. He guessed that He Jun, unaware of the danger, had deliberately provoked the top hunter in these mountains.

"Now that it has hurt people and tasted blood, its nature has changed. Keeping it around will only make it a menace sooner or later; it must be eliminated."

Chen Yongqiang looked at the system task prompts and saw that the rewards were very generous, especially one item: a 98k sniper rifle!

This thing is a real weapon of mass destruction in this day and age!

Its range, accuracy, and power far exceed those of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle I have. Having it would provide an extra layer of protection when going into the mountains.

Chen Yongqiang accepted the task and turned to leave the mountain temple. However, he did not begin the search for snow leopards in the mountains.

He turned around and went back to the edge of the cliff to see the ancient tree that had stood for thousands of years.

The temperature had not yet warmed up, and the ancient tree's gnarled branches were still covered with a thick layer of snow.

Chen Yongqiang circled the ancient tree and examined it, but found nothing unusual.

He patted the rough bark: "Whether I can cultivate immortality depends on when you blossom and bear fruit, old man."

Making this ancient tree bloom and bear fruit again is one of the long-term assessment tasks given to him by the Mountain God.

After staying there for a few minutes, Chen Yongqiang turned around and continued walking deeper into Qinglong Mountain.

He set up several traps along the way on paths frequented by wild animals.

The original plan was to catch some live pheasants and rabbits and sell them at restaurants in the county town for a good price.

Unexpectedly, this also triggered a system mission to hunt snow leopards.

"Snow leopards are much harder to kill than wild boars," Chen Yongqiang thought to himself.

Although wild boars are fierce, they are large and easy to spot. Once spotted, they make a lot of noise when they run.

But snow leopards are different. They are like ghosts in the mountains, alert and agile, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Chen Yongqiang deliberately headed towards the southern slope of Qinglong Mountain.

The terrain there is rugged, with many cliffs and precipices, and it is home to many argali sheep that are good at climbing, which is the snow leopard's main food source.

On the way into the mountains, Tianlang, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, his ears perked up, and then he ducked down and quickly disappeared into a patch of withered yellow grass by the roadside.

Chen Yongqiang stopped immediately, gripped the butt of the rifle with his right hand, pushed the safety off with his thumb, and scanned his surroundings.

After Sirius disappeared into the bushes, a commotion immediately erupted inside. A brightly colored pheasant was startled and darted out, flapping its wings and frantically flying low to the side.

Chen Yongqiang reacted extremely quickly, raising his gun almost the instant the pheasant took flight. Based on his instincts and a slight prediction, a shot rang out!

When a pheasant flying in the air is pierced by a bullet, its feathers burst into a shower of feathers, and it loses power and falls downwards.

Gunshots echoed through the valley, startling another pheasant hiding in the nearby bushes. It panicked and flew away desperately in another direction.

Chen Yongqiang turned the gun, his eyes fixed on the small moving dot, and almost without pausing, pulled the trigger again.

"Bang!"

The second pheasant also fell to the ground, landing on a hillside not far away.

Without Chen Yongqiang giving any orders, Tianlang had already darted out like a gray lightning bolt, found the first fallen pheasant, and ran back with it in his mouth.

Chen Yongqiang took the pheasant: "Good job. Go and get the other one too."

Upon receiving the order, Sirius quickly ran to the spot where the second pheasant had fallen.

Not long after, it returned with a second pheasant in its beak and placed it at Chen Yongqiang's feet.

"Not bad, we've already found something as soon as we went into the mountains." Chen Yongqiang put the two pheasants into his spatial storage.

He thought to himself, "It's a pity he was shot; he's not worth as much as when he was alive. But I can still get a few dollars by selling him to the state-run restaurant in town."

If we want to capture him alive, it seems we can only rely on the traps and pressure traps he set up along the way.

Upon arriving at the southern slope of Qinglong Mountain, the terrain suddenly becomes precipitous.

The area is filled with strangely shaped rocks, and there are hardly any tall trees growing there, making the view suddenly extremely open.

Chen Yongqiang stopped and took out the military binoculars he had acquired last time from his spatial storage.

They began to carefully scan every shadowy corner of the steep cliff in the distance, searching for any suspicious movement.

Chen Yongqiang held up his binoculars and observed for a while, then muttered to himself:

"That's strange. Usually, we can always see several herds of ibex on these cliffs, but today there's not a single one. Where did they all go?"

Hunting requires immense patience. Chen Yongqiang remained calm, put away his binoculars, and continued climbing, hoping to find a higher vantage point to assess the situation.

As Chen Yongqiang climbed upwards, he noticed that Tianlang beside him suddenly stopped and looked warily at the sky.

Chen Yongqiang looked up in the direction that Tianlang was wary of.

High in the blue sky, two white dots were hovering, their wings barely moving.

"They're two gyrfalcons! White gyrfalcons are the finest of all eagles!"
