"Puff—"
A dull sound, like a strike on a sand-filled leather bag, echoed clearly in the quiet forest!
The spruce grouse didn't even have time to make a sound before being blasted off the branch by the immense force, tumbling through the air and landing heavily in the deep snow below.
It left only a small indentation and a few scattered feathers in the snow, then all was silence.
At this distance, Lin Yu'an could easily make a kill with one arrow!
Lin Yu'an's tense nerves finally relaxed. He exhaled a long breath, then quickly stepped forward and retrieved the still-warm prey from the snow pit.
It was an adult male spruce grouse, covered in thick, camo-patterned black-brown feathers. The Hunting Arrow had precisely hit its chest cavity.
He didn't hastily hang the prey on his waist but instead immediately began on-site processing. For any qualified Hunter, quick bleeding is the key first step to ensuring the meat's freshness and removing any gamey taste.
