These two hunters are true collaborators, unlike internet celebrity hunters like Mark and Julian who just bring along photographers. Their hunting skills aren’t bad either; they even scored 7 points in the first round of this competition.
But when faced with Li Younan as an opponent, both of them felt very disheartened.
At this moment, they’ve just woken up. Despite grabbing a rest after the first round of competition, they’ve only rested for just over three hours. Their bodies are still tired, but at least they no longer have that heart-racing feeling from staying up overnight.
Silently, the two of them head toward the mission point at Indian Hill relic. Their stomachs rumble, and they pull out some emergency rations. At times like these, flavor is no longer a concern; filling the stomach is the top priority. High-sugar compressed biscuits quickly help them regain some energy.
Since neither of them can ride horses, they can only travel on foot. A journey of seven or eight kilometers is still quite far for them.
It was not until dusk that the Indian Hill mission point camp gradually appeared in their field of vision, causing them to cheer with joy.
It’s undeniable that when people are extremely downcast, even achieving a small milestone can provide immense psychological encouragement.
At this point, their physical condition is both tired and sore, suffering from lack of sleep, without protein intake, and having trekked a long wilderness stretch. They’ve long wanted to stop for a rest.
They arrive at the camp gate, and before they have a chance to knock, the door is directly opened by the staff.
Without waiting for them to speak, they’re given a cruel message: "I have bad news for you, you have been eliminated."
With smiles from arriving still on their faces, those words make them freeze where they stand.
They exchange a glance, remaining silent for a few seconds as if digesting the information, until one can’t help but say: "Come on, we just got here... So, what did that big boss do?"
The staff is quite patient and explains, "The mission was to see which group of hunters could first hunt a wild boar, a white-tailed deer, or three turkeys."
He looks at the time and then shakes his head, "Just before you set out, your rival was already barbecuing in a beautiful spot... Oh, right, you can check out his livestream."
A few minutes later, they stand there together, eyes fixed on the same smartphone screen showing the live video.
The footage is from Li Younan’s first-person perspective, with the sun having set in the evening. In the live stream, the sunset dyes the creek a golden hue, and the relic hilltop is edged with gold, marking the most beautiful moment at the ranch.
In front of him is a self-made stone slab barbecue, alongside a one-liter thermos.
In the first-person perspective, Li Younan uses the lid of the thermos as a cup, pouring himself a cup of hot tea.
The comments in the chat are asking how this wild tea tastes. Li Younan, making a toast gesture to the sunset, then takes a sip and says: "I have to say, the wild tea tastes pretty good; but it would be even better if it’s further roasted."
Seeing this scene, the two have nothing more to say, but soon find relief.
One hunter smirks and says: "That guy is truly a master of wilderness survival; hunting is just one of many skills for him."
The other hunter also nods solemnly and says: "Having him as an opponent is actually quite an honor for us."
Yet both are beginning to anticipate whether Li Younan will be the final winner in this competition?
...
During the livestream, Li Younan has already demonstrated his marksmanship. Undoubtedly, killing a wild boar outside the effective range of a shotgun amazed the live audience.
Having finished his barbecue, Li Younan is ready to ride back to the mission point to receive a new task, while the audience in the livestream is still discussing his recent shot.
"I recorded it. Li bro dropped a wild boar from at least 150 meters away, this marksmanship is god-level!"
"I’m a shooting range instructor, hitting the spine might’ve been luck, but regardless, hitting a wild boar can’t just be called precision—unless it was purely luck."
"I’m an international student in the United States, lucky enough to have shot a few times. For friends back home who haven’t shot before, let me explain: when South God fired just now, he didn’t use a gun stand, pure standing on horseback shooting! Don’t need me to talk about the recoil of a shotgun, do I? Standing position shooting beyond the range, keeping the gun stable without deviation, his wrist and core strength absolutely belong to professional athlete level."
"Previously, seeing him surfing felt absurd, now hunting directly achieves sniper level effects? What else can’t this all-rounder master do? From today on I declare myself a wild fan of South God!"
"I was worried he’d be a bit out of his element using a shotgun for hunting this time instead of his preferred bow, but unexpectedly, his shooting skills are also incredible."
"Now I believe sharpshooter is innate whether shooting baskets or construction, even the previously demonstrated slingshot, this guy is at god-tier level. Besides talent, I don’t know what other adjectives to use to describe him. By the way, Li bro, aren’t you considering signing up for the Olympics or something? Train a little, you’ll surely win a gold medal."
