In the dense and quiet forest of Lianshan Bay Nature Reserve, several fierce howls of wild beasts suddenly rang out, startling countless birds into flight...
Then, from the low, dense bushes, a wild boar weighing about 120 or 130 pounds suddenly leaped out and ran wildly into the depths of the forest. Immediately afterward, a yellow shadow also rushed out of the bushes and chased after the fleeing wild boar relentlessly...
The yellow shadow was a hunting dog, or more precisely, a Central Asian Shepherd Dog that was entirely yellow and incredibly robust. It stood over eighty feet tall and probably weighed more than the escaped wild boar. It had thick bones, a fierce appearance, and the perfect muscle lines beneath its shiny fur were extremely prominent with every run and leap.
The scene at this moment was quite strange. As an ancient breed with a history of more than 4,000 years, the Central Asian Shepherd Dog has always been bred as a guard dog or sheepdog because of its brave and fearless character and mastiff lineage. Even in modern times, the Central Asian Shepherd Dog is mostly used as a fighting dog. I have never heard of training the Central Asian Shepherd Dog to be a hunting dog.
The biggest reason for this is, of course, the enormous size of Central Asian swarms. Their heavy bodies limit their speed and agility in the mountains and forests. Moreover, their excessive weight leads to rapid energy depletion. Hunting is a difficult task, and without strong physical strength, it would be a fatal flaw, especially when encountering large wild animals like wild boars.
However, even without the ancestral hunting dog genes, this golden Central Asian Shepherd Dog seemed to be quite adept at hunting. Moreover, after a series of fights and chases, its stamina was not greatly depleted. In every chase and leap, its strong body still displayed perfect speed and explosive power.
The chase through the forest continued. This powerful creature seemed to have identified the wild boar as its prey. It moved unhurriedly, each pursuit and pounce executed with great skill and composure, its calm demeanor revealing its confidence. It didn't seem to intend to engage the wild boar in a direct confrontation; each of its pounces was done without full force, as if it were controlling the wild boar's escape route...
The fleeing wild boar had no intention of lingering in the fight. Although it believed it could put up a fight against the creature behind it, it knew it wasn't absolutely certain of victory. A mutually destructive outcome was not what it wanted. It raced rapidly into the depths of the forest, passing through dense thickets. Once it reached the other side of the mountain ridge, it could reunite with its herd. With reinforcements, it could easily turn back and deal with the arrogant fellow.
However, in life, expectations and reality always collide. Every attack from the Central Asian swarm was an attempt to change the wild boar's escape route. The sharp fangs forced the wild boar to take one detour after another. After a long period of rapid running, the wild boar finally became somewhat exhausted.
Its speed began to slow, and the howling from its blood-red mouth ceased, replaced by a series of whimpering warnings. In its panic, it no longer considered the other side of the mountain as its destination, but instead plotted its counterattack. It was consumed by rage and no longer cared about the consequences. However, as it turned to avoid a pounce from Central Asia and slipped under a large rock, a boulder about forty or fifty centimeters in diameter suddenly fell from above…
The sudden turn of events startled the rampaging wild boar, causing it to stumble and stop abruptly to avoid falling rocks. However, the fierce dog behind it had already caught up and tackled it. The immense force of the dog's massive and powerful body slammed the boar, which weighed over 100 pounds, to the ground. The dog's sharp fangs instantly locked onto the boar's long face and neck.
The wild boar was enraged and was about to get up to retaliate when a figure leaped down from a rock two or three meters high. A hard knee, using the impact, quickly and firmly pinned the boar's struggling body down. A sharp dagger, as precise as a pig being slaughtered in a rural area, plunged into the boar's neck. Blood gushed out instantly, accompanied by a sharp and agonizing scream. The boar's life force rapidly ebbed away. It tried to fight back, tried to escape, but the massive body of the Central Asian boar pressed down on it like a mountain. It was powerless to resist any longer. After a few final, instinctive struggles, it collapsed, convulsing weakly…
A perfect knife hunt, the perfect teamwork between the man and the dog—any outsider who witnessed it would be utterly astonished…
"...Alright...Ah Huang...Come back...Phew..."
"Whoosh..."
When the wild boar finally died, the young man took a few deep breaths, then collapsed onto the ground, exhausted, and called back to the Central Asian man who was still tearing at the boar.
Although the knife hunt only took a few fleeting moments, the entire process was extremely dangerous, allowing no room for error. The intense concentration kept Chen Chongshan's nerves on edge, consuming a great deal of his energy. The sudden relaxation naturally left him feeling extremely exhausted, even though he was a vibrant eighteen-year-old body...
Upon hearing its master's call, Ah Huang, a Central Asian boar, abandoned the dead wild boar and returned to Chen Chongshan's side. It lay down quietly, its 70-80 centimeter-long tail swaying gently. Its face no longer showed the ferocity and savagery it had displayed when fighting the wild boar; instead, it became extremely docile.
After resting for a while, Chen Chongshan's strength gradually recovered. Although the knife hunt had taken a heavy toll on him, he was still an eighteen-year-old, at the peak of his vitality. He affectionately hugged Ah Huang's huge head and shook it a few times. After glancing at the wild boar lying on the ground, a slight smile appeared on his handsome face. He then took out his phone and dialed a number.
After exchanging a few words, Chen Chongshan hung up the phone. Ah Huang, who had been resting, stood up. Its strength had almost recovered. After all, it hadn't directly confronted the wild boar from the beginning, so the exertion wasn't too great. Having followed Chen Chongshan through the mountains and forests since it was a cub, its body and stamina were far beyond what ordinary Central Asian animals could match.
Furthermore, after countless hunting experiences, Ah Huang also understood what to do next.
Looking at Ah Huang, who was already prepared, Chen Chongshan smiled, untied a few ropes from his waist, and then used the machete on his back to cut down several small trees of suitable size, making a small stretcher. He secured the wild boar, which weighed over 100 pounds, to the stretcher. Then, Chen Chongshan used a small collar to put one side of the stretcher around Ah Huang's neck and shoulder, and lifted the other side of the stretcher himself, walking down the mountain...
The sudden increase in weight didn't cause Ah Huang any discomfort. Its strong body and perfect muscle lines gave it a powerful presence, and it felt no reluctance to share its owner's burdens. Compared to its kind who had to carry heavy chains and do strength training every day for dog fighting, what it was doing now was clearly more meaningful...
Although the path through the mountains was not easy to walk, it was downhill, and the weight of over 100 pounds was not beyond their capabilities. After about forty minutes, the figures of the man and the dog appeared on the dirt road at the foot of the mountain.
This is the only road connecting Meishan County, which is twenty miles away. It is usually deserted and overgrown with weeds, with few vehicles passing by. After getting onto this main road, Chen Chongshan unloaded the wild boar from the stretcher and then sat on a dilapidated motorcycle by the roadside, resting while looking in the direction of Meishan County, as if waiting for something...
