Chapter 170: Chapter 169: What, you have a problem with me digging up some mountain goods on your turf?

[Did Old Xu make money again?]

Seeing Xu Yang digging up one mountain potato after another, the netizens were clearly not that excited.

How could he make money again!

Xu Yang had entered the deep mountains; he could not carry away heavy items, so he could only take some high-priced mountain goods.

Even now, in front of a large swath of walnut trees, he would not pick walnuts.

But the price of pure wild mountain potatoes was 130 per pound, and those of good appearance could fetch even higher prices.

Picking up eight or nine pounds was not a problem.

Xu Yang started digging out mountain potatoes.

Since the mountain potatoes were located shallow in the ground, no tools were needed, just purely using hands to dig.

Since his hands were already dirty from mountain rushing, a quick wash was sufficient and no matter.

Xu Yang began to focus intently on digging mountain potatoes.

There were quite a lot of mountain potatoes in these deep mountains.

A large cluster spread out.

He estimated he would be digging for a while.

Xu Yang was very happy in his heart, as finding valuable mountain goods was truly not easy.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Just at that moment, not far away on the high slope, a tiger was patrolling its territory and had noticed Xu Yang from afar.

The tiger, a creature of strong combat ability with exceptional vision, could spot its target from a distance.

It usually did this during hunting, first spotting the target from afar, then lying in ambush, ready to strike.

After it spotted Xu Yang, it headed in his direction.

Xu Yang was still digging up mountain goods and did not know he had been spotted by the tiger.

Mainly, because the tiger had no hostile intentions, the Danger Perception did not trigger.

However, what Xu Yang didn’t notice, the drone’s thermal sensor did react.

Thus, the drone’s camera lifted and started filming behind him.

Immediately, the netizens noticed a huge Northeast Tiger appearing in the livestream.

Orange fur, black stripes.

Seen from afar, it looked like an orange furry caterpillar.

No wonder tigers were called "big bugs" in ancient times.

[Holy crap! A tiger!]

The netizens in the livestream exclaimed in unison.

[Oh no, the host is being targeted by the tiger!]

Someone immediately became nervous.

A short-video livestream platform, where new viewers are constantly coming in at all times.

Moreover, many people had not seen Xu Yang’s previous videos with the tiger and were unfamiliar with the tiger matters.

It was normal to be nervous.

Not just newcomers, even the old fans swallowed hard, gripping their phones tighter unconsciously.

Seeing this creature, hardly anyone wasn’t scared, especially being in the wilderness.

[Old Xu, behind you!]

[OMG, to host this kind of livestream in the wilderness?]

The chat was frantically scrolling.

Countless people were shocked by the scene.

Simultaneously, the number of viewers in the livestream also began to explosively increase.

Many netizens, stumbling upon Xu Yang’s livestream while scrolling through videos, couldn’t help but click in to watch.

The scene was truly too thrilling.

Xu Yang was squatting on the ground digging mountain goods, and behind him, an adult Northeast Tiger was slowly approaching him.

And by the looks of it, Xu Yang was completely unaware.

Who wouldn’t be scared by this?

Xu Yang was completely oblivious to the approaching Northeast Tiger.

Mainly, the tiger was pretty crafty, deliberately slowing its pace, lowering its sound.

Its body also hunched a bit lower.

It looked like it was hunting!

It was doing this for fun.

But in the eyes of the netizens, this was surely preparing for a meal!

And the main dish was Xu Yang!

As the tiger got closer and closer to Xu Yang, the viewers became increasingly tense.

Everyone’s breathing grew labored, and many couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

The chat scrolled very quickly.

Countless people in the livestream were shouting:

[Host, run quickly!]

[Hurry up and run Old Xu!]

But Xu Yang still had no clue.

At that moment, the tiger had already reached behind Xu Yang.

The next second, it suddenly pounced!

"Ah!"

Many viewers let out terrified screams.

However, they only saw the tiger pounce onto Xu Yang’s back, then gently nudge him with its head before calmly standing beside him.

"Holy moly!"

Xu Yang was slightly startled.

It was only when he saw the tiger that he realized.

"No way, how did you make absolutely no sound, how did you manage that?"

Xu Yang exclaimed.

The netizens in the livestream were all dumbfounded.

Ah?

That’s it?

Just a playful pounce?

The massive Northeast Tiger next to Xu Yang poked its head out to see what Xu Yang was doing.

But it also didn’t understand.

Xu Yang then took out the sheep’s milk he had prepared earlier from his backpack.

Now, whenever going into the forest one must carry some.

Every time before going into the mountains, Xu Yang would contact the milk station to buy some sheep’s milk.

Next was yet another scene of feeding a wild tiger.

Xu Yang stopped his work, took out the milk bottle, and fed the tiger two bottles of sheep milk.

The massive tiger gently suckled the nipple, even the bottle seemed small compared to its face.

In just a few gulps, one bottle was empty.

Then it drank the second one.

This tiger was becoming more affectionate towards Xu Yang, and the sheep’s milk played a part.

After all, aside from Xu Yang’s, it had nowhere else to drink milk.

[I was scared for a moment there, what’s with this tiger? It doesn’t bite?]

[Old Xu tamed it, and now it’s friendly with him.]

"If I had known you two were like this, I wouldn’t have been so nervous!"

"Still can’t handle it, gets nervous every time I watch!"

"Is this host so awesome? Running into the wild to feed a tiger? Pure wilderness?"

The barrage had already exploded.

Old viewers said it was a small scene, but new viewers were shocked speechless.

The scene was indeed unbelievable.

Xu Yang, however, was composed. After feeding the tiger, seeing there were still some mountain potatoes on the ground, he continued to squat down and dig.

Mountain potatoes only need to be picked from the bottom, and aren’t heavy.

Stacking them together was manageable.

He picked his way along, pulling out each mountain potato in turn.

The tiger came up close with its big head, curiously watching.

It didn’t understand what Xu Yang was doing at all.

It just thought Xu Yang was digging the ground.

Xu Yang turned his head, looked at it, and laughed, saying,

"What, you have a problem with me digging some mountain goods on your turf?"

The tiger showed no expression; it just lay down to rest because it was bored.

Xu Yang continued to dig.

He dug out all the mountain potatoes, filling up two full plastic bags.

"Not a bad harvest. Didn’t expect to come across an area where mountain potatoes are concentrated. For a mountain runner, this level of yield is a big win!"

Xu Yang said contentedly.

He tied up the plastic bags and packed them into his backpack.

Then, he quickly cleaned the mud off his hands.

Today’s Treasure Compass uses were already used up. The rest of what he could find depended on luck.

If he wasn’t specifically "hunting" for some type of mountain goods, he’d just go with the flow with the mountain rushing style, which is to see what you see and gather what you find.

The tiger was still nearby.

"You’d better guard your territory well. Such a big turf, and I still have a large area I haven’t visited."

"I’ll definitely come back in the future."

"It will all depend on your protection then."

"You are the Mountain God of this mountain."

Xu Yang said, patting the big forehead of the tiger.

Afterwards, Xu Yang added another line:

"Haven’t given you a name yet; from now on, you’ll be called Little Mountain God."

"With you here, I’m safe."

Xu Yang’s words amused the viewers.

"I knew Mr. Xu always comes here to do mountain rushing, turns out he’s protected by a tiger!"

"Indeed, when you are out and about, it’s important to have strong backing!"

"If the mightiest in the mountains are my underlings, then I can surely strut around in the mountains!"

"This mountain lets you roam, the tiger has even fallen to being your bodyguard!"

"Brother Yang! Awesome!"

The barrage was very lively.

Xu Yang looked at the big tiger in front of him.

This guy was truly good-looking.

He picked up a paw and looked at it.

The tiger’s paw was thick, soft, and had luxuriant fur; it felt very solid to the touch.

Even the Leopard’s paws weren’t as big as its.

The tiger’s neck too, when touched, was all muscle, and felt even better.

Xu Yang rested with the tiger for a while, and seeing that it was about time, he chose to leave.

"Little Mountain God, I’m off."

Xu Yang waved his hand.

He picked up his backpack and headed out.

The tiger, already familiar with this scene, just watched Xu Yang for a while, then also turned and left.

The number of viewers in the live room reached over 80,000.

The presence of a wild Northeast Tiger had greatly increased the number of viewers.

When the tiger left, the viewership gradually dropped back to around 40,000 to 50,000.

But that was still quite impressive.

The way back was still smooth.

Only occasionally, Xu Yang could feel a dangerous presence, as if something was watching him from afar.

But that feeling was fleeting and soon vanished.

The forest was indeed dangerous.

Unsure which animal was observing him from a distance.

Perhaps it was a tiger, or a brown bear, or maybe leopards or a pack of jackals.

The animal, after judging for a while, gave up on the idea of tracking Xu Yang.

It had been a long while since he’d been deep into the mountains, but the scenery was still beautiful.

After walking for a while, Xu Yang arrived at a massive rocky cliff.

This was a very nice viewpoint.

Standing on top, one could see the intermingled red and yellow forest below.

The scenery was very beautiful.

"Next time I come here, it might already be winter."

"If everything goes as usual, it should start snowing here in late November."

"It’s going to get cold."

Xu Yang looked at the scenery and sighed.

The changing seasons bring something different for everyone and every animal here to do.

For most people and animals here, winter is a time of little activity.

Just find a warm nook, store up some food, and while away the days.

Xu Yang was growing off-season fruits, but it didn’t require much work.

So, winter posed no difficulties for him.

Perhaps he’d have more time to do mountain rushing in the winter.

The viewers, following the drone’s camera view, were watching the distant beautiful sight.

Everyone was stunned by the endless forest.

"So beautiful!"

"I really want to experience it myself!"

"It’s rare to see such scenes in the live room!"

"Only someone as daring as Mr. Xu to venture deep into the mountains can livestream this kind of view!"

Xu Yang just watched for a while.

Then, he turned and continued on his way down the mountain.

The road was still long, probably taking three to four hours.

And that was him speeding up.

In such deep mountains, if you don’t stay overnight, you generally don’t linger too long.

A quick tour and then back home.
