Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 118: The tiger wants to cuddle with you? Are you sure?!

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The tiger wants to cuddle with you? Are you sure?!

This mountain rushing trip was exhausting and fraught with danger.

But fortunately, the harvest was bountiful.

Deep in the mountains, as Xu Yang had expected, there were genuine old ginseng roots.

This single ginseng was enough to justify the trip.

The rest were miscellaneous mushrooms and herbs.

In addition, Xu Yang had made the acquaintance of a tiger, a genuine Northeast Golden Layer.

The creature was quite aloof, doing its own thing.

It only greeted Xu Yang when he approached, generally minding its own business.

In this territory, the tiger was still the undisputed king.

Xu Yang was considering whether to continue live streaming or not to further excite the viewers.

Today’s live stream was already outrageous enough.

Taming a wild Northeast Tiger with two bottles of milk, the video about him was still hanging on the internet.

This time, Xu Yang truly became famous.

Sometimes, to go from a small-time live streamer to a major one, just a few big events are enough.

Every moment, plenty of people were coming into the live stream.

[Is this the streamer who tamed the wild Northeast Tiger?]

[Where’s the Northeast Tiger?]

Many people would ask as soon as they came in.

[It’s already a stroke of luck that Old Xu made it out alive last time, better stay away from that tiger now! And you’re still asking where it is!]

[Do you want the streamer to die?!]

[One encounter was outrageous enough, if it happens again it’s going to be game over!]

The regular viewers in the live chat responded.

At this moment, Xu Yang had finished all the business of mountain rushing and was planning to set up his tent, rest for the night, and descend the mountain tomorrow.

There wasn’t much food left.

He was here to mountain rush, not truly survive; he ate his own dry food with the occasional wild fruit.

When the food was gone, it was time to go back.

Just then, the bored Northeast Tiger wandered over in Xu Yang’s direction.

It reappeared in the live streaming frame.

[It’s coming! It’s coming again!]

[Holy crap! There’s really a tiger!]

This stirred up the new viewers entering the live stream room.

Many people, after seeing the video online, came to Xu Yang’s live stream specifically to see the tiger.

However, they were somewhat disappointed by the scenes of foraging for mountain produce.

Now that the tiger was making another appearance, everyone was naturally thrilled.

The tiger still commands presence!

And a wild tiger is much more stunning than those in the zoo, exuding a sense of freedom, laziness, and a kingly aura that is absolutely mesmerizing.

Worry began to creep into the hearts of many viewers.

It couldn’t be helped; concern was inevitable.

Watching was far too frightening!

Seeing the tiger approaching, Xu Yang decided to continue the live stream.

It didn’t matter if the viewers got a thrill; it had already come to this.

"It’s coming over to me again, probably wants some cuddling," he said.

"Tigers usually live alone, but sometimes they seek out companions and friends to play with."

"It’s like the friendship among adults, occasionally getting together with childhood friends or buddies."

"This tiger was abandoned when it was young and didn’t grow up with its siblings, it might be feeling lonely."

Xu Yang stood still, watching the approaching tiger, and spoke softly.

He still conveyed an air of confidence and ease.

The regulars were used to it, but the new viewers were stunned speechless.

[The tiger wants to cuddle you? Are you sure?!]

[Has this streamer always been this brave?]

[The wild Northeast Tiger is really coming over!]

[Holy crap! It’s so handsome!]

The barrage was fast and furious.

Xu Yang put his backpack on the ground without any precaution.

The tiger’s movements were very slow, not at all like hunting posture.

It moved step by step, resembling a catwalk, its huge and thick paws reaching out with a powerful aura of dominance.

Any animal would feel fear in the presence of a tiger.

But Xu Yang wasn’t scared in the slightest.

Maybe it was Xu Yang’s gaze that gave the tiger the impression of companionship.

Before long, the tiger was by Xu Yang’s side.

The live stream viewers became tense once again.

At this moment, it was 4:30 in the afternoon, and the cloud cover was thick above, hiding the sun, so it didn’t feel too hot.

The tiger had just woken up from a nap, feeling bored, and had come to find Xu Yang.

Seeing the tiger appear in the completely open wilderness made people nervous.

Without iron bars or thick glass windows, who would dare to approach this creature?

What happened next was just as Xu Yang predicted.

The tiger walked up to Xu Yang and started rubbing its head against his body.

This big guy had real strength; Xu Yang even had to brace his feet to keep from being pushed around by the tiger’s head.

This creature had indeed come for some affection.

A type of interaction between companions.

Xu Yang reached out and touched it.

The comments section became lively again.

[It really came for cuddles, Old Xu, you’re awesome!]

[This guy is truly skilled, he’s got some tricks!]

[A wild tiger that has killed before being this friendly is really rare!]

[The streamer is so brave, if it were me in that situation, my legs would have already given out from fear!]

[Don’t worry, most people’s legs would give out!]

[Does the streamer really not feel any fear? Why isn’t he scared?!]

The live stream was destined to be lively.

Xu Yang’s live streaming event caused quite a stir online.

He stroked the Northeast Tiger’s head.

This big guy, seems aloof but actually desires protection deep down.

But after experiencing a lot, it gradually matured.

Xu Yang gave the tiger a couple of pats, and the tiger "plop" lay down again.

Lying down for a massage is comfortable, this guy really knows how to enjoy himself.

"Alright, I have to serve it."

Xu Yang squatted down and began to give the Northeast Tiger an artificial massage.

He felt that the tiger’s ears were very soft, big and soft.

At that moment, Xu Yang scratched the inside of the tiger’s ear.

That scratch was a big deal, as one of the tiger’s back paws suddenly lifted up, shaking vigorously.

Scratch it once, shake it once, the scene was also quite funny.

"This fellow is letting me massage it. It truly considers me as a companion now."

"So, everyone can be completely reassured."

"The tiger won’t harm me."

Xu Yang once again reassured the audience in the live stream.

Because of his explanation, the viewers gradually calmed down.

Watching this scene with a normal mind, they found it very interesting.

Xu Yang live-streamed petting the tiger again.

Officials from the short-video platform were closely monitoring Xu Yang’s live stream room. They displayed a warning slogan, "Dangerous action, please do not imitate."

Then they hesitated about whether to remind Xu Yang that this was a dangerous broadcast.

But as it seemed not dangerous at all, they let it be.

Xu Yang thus goofed around with the tiger for a while, and then, as the sky grew darker, he looked for a place to set up a tent and prepared to rest.

He briefly greeted everyone and then ended the live stream.

The tiger stayed with Xu Yang for a while, then left on its own.

Probably going to patrol its territory and might even be looking for a place to hide, preparing to ambush any passing prey.

The tiger still belonged to the mountains and forests.

The story that happened today was destined to become a legend.

Xu Yang also planned to visit this tiger again if he had time in the future and bring it a few more bottles of milk.

In fact, what Xu Yang said made sense. Those two bottles of milk really reminded the tiger of its childhood life.

The night passed.

The next morning, Xu Yang came out of the tent intending to leave the deep mountain.

The real Primordial Forest environment was too harsh, nowhere near as comfortable as the areas where humans live.

Since he had found what he wanted, it was time to return.

It was a pretty good haul.

What was valuable was a piece of jade and an old ginseng.

With these two treasures, the pressure of running his farm reduced a lot for Xu Yang.

After all, with money, even if he was at a loss, he could withstand it without so much anxiety.

If he had to farm on borrowed money, he’d be scared every day.

He looked around, and the tiger had already left early on.

Wild tigers like to be active at night.

On one hand, it’s easier to hide their bodies and ambush prey; on the other hand, nights are relatively cooler.

Xu Yang checked the drone; thanks to its solar charging, there was still some battery left, probably lasting two to three hours.

After packing his backpack, he walked towards the exit of the mountainous area.

This time there was no shortcut, he had to go back the way he came.

Deep in the mountains, there were no winding roads, just vast expanses of Primordial Forest, and countless animals living among them.

The live stream was also on.

He continued to earn some popularity value.

Just waiting to get back to the farm and settle down, then have a good time with a few lotteries.

Just thinking about it was thrilling.

[Morning, host!]

[Is the tiger still there?]

[Seeing you alive when the stream starts makes me happy!]

[Hahaha, there is that feeling. I thought the host was done for!]

Several comments scrolled by.

Xu Yang happened to glance at the comments.

Seeing everyone’s concern, he shook his head helplessly.

"Thanks for the concern. I’m still alive, jumping around."

"And in good spirits!"

"Heading back today."

"I’ve used up all the food and drink. I’ll rest for a few days when I get back."

Xu Yang responded to the viewers.

Hearing his words, everyone laughed.

The number of people in the live stream room was still high.

Most were there for the excitement, or because they saw the video yesterday and decided to come to the live stream room today to chat a bit.

The popularity was still there, so the number of viewers was high, which was normal.

The journey back seemed a bit easier.

Since the tiger was in the mountains, other ferocious animals were relatively fewer, so he only needed to be careful about poisonous snakes.

Or perhaps that pack of jackals.

Jackals gathered together aren’t afraid of tigers, of course, nor dare they attack a tiger.

They are like a dark force within the territory of the tiger.

The walk took quite some time again.

About two hours later, Xu Yang walked through the woods when several Sika Deer rushed from not too far away, quickly leaping and running past him.

[Wow! There are Sika Deer!]

The live stream’s audience exclaimed.

Xu Yang, seeing the Sika Deer, quickened his pace and turned to jog away.

[Old Xu, there are Sika Deer, why are you running?]

A viewer asked, puzzled.

Xu Yang had no time to respond.

Guess why the Sika Deer were frantically running away?

It’s definitely not something good.

Better to beat a hasty retreat.
