Chapter 160 - 159: If I Didn’t Run, That Means There’s No Danger!

Chapter 160: Chapter 159: If I Didn’t Run, That Means There’s No Danger!

[Why are all the animals in the forest so cute!]

[Can this thing be kept as a pet?]

[Oh my, such a cute squirrel?]

[How much for one? I want to keep it!]

At the sight of the adorable chipmunk, netizens were thrilled.

This guy had a high aesthetic value.

Xu Yang looked at the chipmunk in the tree and said,

"Nowadays, chipmunks can indeed be raised, but they’re not easy to keep, they have quite a wild side."

"My farm is big enough to keep them though."

Upon saying this, Xu Yang paused for a moment.

"However, cats will eat squirrels, and there’s an ’Evil Cat’ on my farm, so it’s better for the squirrels to stay away."

The "Evil Cat" Xu Yang referred to was naturally the Tabby Cat, Sang Biao.

Its cool little face was unlikely to put up with the cute chipmunk.

It was in charge of all the mice.

Day by day, it was aloof to an extreme, walking with an air of briskness, often patrolling the farm.

And it liked to pass by Xu Yang holding a mouse in its mouth, pretending to be nonchalant.

Only when Xu Yang praised it, saying, "You’re really impressive," would it happily scamper off.

Xu Yang took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket.

"Chipmunks are known foodies, they love to eat, especially nuts."

"Someone fed them sunflower seeds before, and they could crack them at an impressively fast speed."

"Just a few moments for one seed."

Xu Yang said, smiling at the chipmunk on the tree.

"I’ll try to see if I can lure it down."

Upon hearing his words, the netizens got excited as well.

[Old Xu is a bona fide Beast Taming Master, I admire you in this respect!]

[Here he goes again! He’s starting to entice small animals again!]

[Hahaha, it’s always the same trick, but it works every time!]

[I’m really puzzled, there are squirrels in the trees outside my house too, but no matter how I feed them, they won’t come. If I leave the food on the ground and walk away, the squirrels come to steal it. How does the streamer make animals listen to him!]

[Different bodies, different capacities!]

[Old Xu is still impressive!]

The chat was buzzing.

Xu Yang’s beast taming skills were widely talked about by people.

It seemed that any animal would become approachable in his presence.

Some said it was the physique of the "Forest Son," while others claimed it was that of a "Druid."

In any case, science could not explain it; only theology could.

Xu Yang held a handful of peanuts in his hand, crouching on the ground.

The chipmunk, after all, was a bit far away and in the tree, so it showed no interest.

This guy was a task assigned by the system, and feeding it would yield peanuts and sunflower seeds.

The seeds rewarded by the system were quite good and worth keeping.

So Xu Yang had to successfully feed this little fellow.

He picked up a peanut and threw it towards the tree.

Because he controlled his strength so well, the peanut landed perfectly on the tree trunk in front of the chipmunk.

Startled, the chipmunk backed up two steps.

Then, it cautiously approached the peanut.

This little fellow was truly adorable.

The chipmunk picked up the peanut, gave it a quick sniff, and then stuffed it into its mouth, gnawing on it rapidly.

In no time, it had nibbled the peanut apart and tossed the shell to the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Yang smiled slightly and threw it another peanut.

This time, the peanut successfully caught the chipmunk’s attention.

The little guy ran over and gobbled up the peanut.

Then, Xu Yang threw peanuts towards the base of the tree, and the chipmunk quickly scurried down to savor this rare treat.

Human food was just too delicious.

Planted peanuts were not common in the forest, so they were even more attractive to the chipmunk.

Soon, the little guy was completely lured by the food.

Step by step, it came closer to Xu Yang.

Seeing this scene, the netizens couldn’t help but laugh.

[The streamer’s really adept at this, such precise peanut tossing!]

[It’s about to come over!]

[So cute, I really want to keep one!]

[Just seeing one would brighten up my mood!]

When the time was about right, Xu Yang cupped a handful of peanuts, squatted down, and looked towards the chipmunk nearby, waiting for it to come and eat.

He was still worried the chipmunk might be afraid.

Who knew this little creature would be so bold? It didn’t care whether Xu Yang was there or not, it just ran over and started eating peanuts out of his hand.

No wonder it’s known as a "foodie."

For food, it really isn’t scared of any risks.

"This guy is bold enough to come right here and start eating."

"Isn’t even afraid of getting caught."

Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh at its actions.

The chipmunk stood on the ground, its front paws constantly grabbing peanuts from Xu Yang’s hand and stuffing them into its mouth.

It noticed there were many peanuts and seemed to plan to transport them back home.

At that moment, Xu Yang noticed a problem.

The system task required eating 100 peanuts or sunflower seeds. Peanuts were large and took up space; could this little guy eat them all?

Perhaps feeding it sunflower seeds was a better option.

The task had a time limit of 72 hours, meaning that it was enough if the chipmunk finished 100 peanuts within 3 days.

The fear was that the little creature would eat too full and not enough.

With that thought in mind, Xu Yang decided to feed it sunflower seeds later.

At this moment, the chipmunk was diligently stuffing peanuts into its mouth.

One peanut in the left cheek pouch, one in the right, and two more in the middle.

After stuffing, there were still five or six peanuts left in Xu Yang’s hand.

The chipmunk suddenly seemed anxious.

It continued to furiously stuff its mouth, looking as if it wanted to take them all in one go.

This little guy was quite greedy!

Unable to stuff any more in, it began to squeak anxiously.

"Come back a few more times, don’t be so greedy."

"Go back first."

Xu Yang pushed the squirrel gently with his hand, urging it to leave.

The chipmunk looked at the peanuts in Xu Yang’s hands reluctantly, then turned and scurried up the tree.

That little guy was really quite adorable.

It wasn’t long before it was back again.

Only this time, Xu Yang’s hands were empty of peanuts, leaving only a handful of sunflower seeds.

The viewers observed the chipmunk in detail.

It had thick fur with five distinct stripes on its back, a feature that stood out clearly.

Its appearance was also endearing, with a round head, small eyes, and a fluffy tail that fit human aesthetics.

No wonder everyone was getting more and more excited as they watched.

When the chipmunk returned to find the peanuts gone, it was slightly stunned. It still crouched low, then stood up and looked around again, but the peanuts were nowhere to be found.

"You eat the sunflower seeds first, if you finish this handful, then I’ll get you another handful of peanuts," Xu Yang said with a smile.

The chipmunk, failing to find the peanuts, turned its attention to the sunflower seeds in Xu Yang’s hand.

It was only seen taking one seed, gently biting down on it in its mouth, and the seed was split open.

This guy was tasting the sunflower seeds, determining whether they were good or not.

After eating one, the little fellow clearly perked up and, without caring for the peanuts anymore, started cracking seeds next to Xu Yang’s hand.

The chipmunk was fast at cracking sunflower seeds.

Its jaws moved at a high frequency.

With each movement of its mouth, the shells were spat out.

After finishing one, it climbed onto Xu Yang’s hand to grab another, unafraid of humans and intent on eating.

The number of viewers in the live stream kept growing.

It had stabilized at over 50,000.

[Seriously, over 50,000 people watching a chipmunk crack seeds? Are we all that bored?]

[Pretty bored, but this is kind of interesting!]

[Indeed, can’t explain why, but I just feel like watching for a while!]

[Because it’s live. If this were a video, I’d have scrolled past after two glances!]

People were discussing in the live stream chat.

The scene was rather entertaining.

Xu Yang was keeping an eye on the task numbers.

After the chipmunk began eating the sunflower seeds, the task numbers started jumping rapidly.

It quickly exceeded thirty.

There was still some way to go before reaching a hundred.

Just as Xu Yang was wondering what to do, he noticed another chipmunk in the tree.

This one was very shy, hiding on the trunk of the tree, only daring to come closer.

It had eaten a few peanuts earlier, lured by the delicious taste, thus it peeked out.

"There’s another one over there; it looks like a family of chipmunks."

"Not bad."

"But that one is a bit more timid and doesn’t dare come over."

"I’ll go over and feed it some."

Xu Yang said with a smile.

Afterward, he left a handful of sunflower seeds on the ground and walked beside the big tree, piling another handful on the trunk.

As soon as he came close, the little chipmunk instantly ran off, disappearing from sight.

Xu Yang wasn’t in a hurry; the seeds were left there, and it would surely come back.

As expected, the little chipmunk returned after a while, beginning to crack seeds on the edge of the tree.

Seeing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh subtly.

Good, another helper to complete the tasks.

The task numbers started jumping even more quickly.

At this thought, he pulled out another handful of sunflower seeds and began to eat them himself.

Seeing this, the viewers couldn’t help but laugh.

What was he doing?

Imitating a chipmunk cracking seeds?

It looked pretty cute.

Xu Yang stayed with the two little critters for a while and soon the task number had reached over eighty.

With this rate, he wasn’t worried about not reaching a hundred in three days.

Therefore, Xu Yang grabbed a large handful of peanuts and placed them on the ground, saying to the little guy there,

"These are all yours, stuff them into your mouth slowly, no rush."

He even tapped the chipmunk’s head.

The little chipmunk stood there, looking at the pile of peanuts with an incredulous expression on its face.

Where is this?

Is this heaven?

So many delicacies falling from the sky?

Xu Yang, on the other hand, left feeling quite satisfied.

It was getting late, and it was time for him to descend the mountain to rest.

The live stream continued for a while longer, the atmosphere very cheerful.

The daily life in the forest is always interesting.

"Once I get through the busy period with the farm, I’ll go to the depths of Changbai Mountain again," he said.

"I’ll take a trip around Heavenly Lake then, and see if I have a chance to visit the outer area of the Tiger and Leopard Forest Park."

"Of course, just the outer area of the forest, I wouldn’t dare to go inside."

"You never know how many tigers and leopards are in those mountains."

"It’s far too dangerous."

While Xu Yang said this, the viewers didn’t feel a hint of nervousness.

Having watched Xu Yang’s live streams for a while, they were no longer needlessly worried about him.

The audience would get anxious on his behalf, yet he himself always remained very calm.

Just as Xu Yang had said before:

"If there were really any danger, I’d run faster than anyone."

"If I haven’t run, that means there’s no danger."

Some people would also joke:

"You haven’t run, but could it be because you’ve got no chance to run away?"
