"That beast is very cunning; it played dead last time and escaped."

Upon hearing this, Su Jianjun immediately raised his hunting rifle and cautiously took two steps back.

Hunter Zhao narrowed his eyes and drew a sharp hunting knife from his waist.

Su Jianguo moved slowly, keeping the gun pointed at the head of the wild boar king.

When he was three meters away, he stopped, took a deep breath, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots nearly shattered the silence of the night.

The bullet precisely pierced the already mutilated skull of the wild boar king, completely shattering the suspicious brain tissue.

The boar king's final convulsions ceased, and his scarlet eyes lost their luster forever.

"God..."

Hunter Zhao stepped forward and poked the wild boar king's carcass with his hunting rifle to confirm that it was indeed dead.

"Jianguo is right, that beast is too cunning."

Only then did the crowd dare to approach.

Under the moonlight, the boar king's carcass appeared exceptionally large, about three times the size of an ordinary boar.

Su Jianjun shone his flashlight on the wild boar king's body and immediately gasped in shock.

The wild boar king's body was riddled with bullet holes, like a sieve.

"How many shots did this place take?"

Zhang Dazhu's voice trembled as he counted the bullet holes with trembling fingers.

Su Jianguo squatted down and carefully examined the wound on the wild boar king's abdomen.

That was when Su Jianjun shot the wound with a hunting rifle that afternoon. Thick scabs covered the wound, but what was most horrifying was that a layer of dried mud was stuck to the wound.

"It plugged the wound with mud..."

Su Jianguo said in a low voice.

"This beast even knows how to stop bleeding."

Upon hearing this, Hunter Zhao's expression became even more serious.

He had lived for over sixty years and had never seen such an intelligent beast.

The old hunter drew a sharp hunting knife from his waist and squatted down beside the boar king's carcass.

"Move aside, I'll gut it. We need to clean it up quickly, or it'll become a stinking mess!"

The hunting knife sliced ​​through the wild boar king's belly, making an unsettling tearing sound.

A strong, fishy stench immediately filled the air, and several young militiamen couldn't help but take a few steps back, covering their mouths and noses.

Hunter Zhao remained unfazed and skillfully cut open the wild boar king's abdomen.

He carefully removed the two arm-thick tusks of the wild boar king intact and wiped the blood off them with a cloth.

One is intact, and the other is broken.

"Keep this thing."

The old hunter held one of the broken teeth.

"Being able to kill a monster like that is something I can brag about for the rest of my life."

Seeing this, others followed suit.

Su Jianjun removed another tusk, while Zhang Dazhu cut off a tuft of the hardest bristles from the wild boar king's neck.

The two young militiamen were somewhat timid and only dared to pull out a few of the shorter fangs.

Su Jianguo did not take any souvenirs.

"Take turns keeping watch."

Su Jianguo made the arrangements.

"Everyone else should take a break. There'll be plenty to do after dawn."

That night, even though the wild boar king was dead, no one could truly sleep peacefully.

At dawn, the first rays of sunlight fell on the hillside.

Su Jianguo directed the others to use ropes to tie up the wild boar king's carcass, preparing to transport it back to the village.

Even in death, this enormous creature was incredibly heavy; it took six strong men working together to barely lift it onto the tractor.

With the whirring of the engine, Su Jianjun drove the tractor slowly toward Sujiatun.

The boar king's carcass lay horizontally in the truck bed, its limbs stiffly outstretched, its ferocious head swaying back and forth with the bumps and jolting.

When the tractor drove into the village, the villagers who had gotten up early to work stopped what they were doing and stared in disbelief at the scene.

I don't know who shouted it first.

"The wild boar king has been killed!"

The entire Sujiatun village immediately erupted in excitement.

"My God!"

The old Party Secretary strode over, leaning on his cane, his eyes wide open.

"This...this is way too big!"

The tractor was parked in the threshing ground in the center of the village, and villagers flocked in from all directions, crowding around the truck bed.

The women gasped in surprise, while the men stared in awe at the legendary monster.

"How did its head get so rotten?"

"Look at that size! It's as big as three or four wild boars!"

"His body was riddled with bullet holes; God knows how many bullets he took..."

Discussions rose and fell.

Several daring children tried to get a closer look, but when they saw the wild boar king's broken head and ferocious tusks, they were so frightened that they burst into tears and hid behind the adults.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Widow Wang hugged her seven-year-old son, but her voice was trembling.

"It's dead; it can't hurt anyone anymore."

The old Party Secretary quickly struck a gong to quell the commotion.

"Quiet down, everyone!"

The old Party Secretary spoke loudly.

"The livestock in our village have been endangered! This is a joyous occasion for our village; tonight we'll have a feast, and the whole village will eat wild boar meat together!"

The proposal was met with an immediate and enthusiastic response.

Fear was quickly replaced by excitement, and the villagers began to discuss how to cut up the giant beast.

"Keep the hide for me."

Old Wang rubbed his hands together.

"Once the salt is smelted, it can be used to make a pair of sturdy boots."

"I want two spare ribs; they're perfect for making soup!"

"Give me this pig's penis, take it home and soak it in liquor!"

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the threshing ground of Sujiatun.

Wild boar meat was stewing in a large iron pot, and its aroma filled the air.

The villagers sat together, drinking and eating meat to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Su Jianguo was placed in the main seat, and the old Party Secretary personally poured him a full glass of wine.
