Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 244 - 243: The Pursuit, the Pig-Catching Operation in the Deep Mountains!

Chapter 244: Chapter 243: The Pursuit, the Pig-Catching Operation in the Deep Mountains!

A man and a leopard strolled through the woods.

Xu Yang now acted as if he were the back hill patrol guard, making rounds from time to time.

He had become very familiar with this area.

First, he and Xiao Hua went to the place where Xiao Hua and Luna had lived together before.

Upon reaching there, Xiao Hua immediately sprang out, circling around in place.

It seemed somewhat nostalgic.

Watching it do this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

"I have to feed these animals on the farm, find them places to live, and even take care of them after they’ve given birth."

"Now, I even have to comfort a leopard going through a breakup."

"Being a farmer is not easy at all!"

Upon hearing his words, the audience in the live broadcast also laughed.

[Hahaha, Old Xu, it’s all on you!]

[Can’t argue with that, Old Xu really treats his pets well!]

[Xiao Hua looks down in the dumps, cheer it up quickly!]

[My suggestion is to find Xiao Hua another mate, it will forget the old one when it has a new love!]

Everyone responded one after another.

Find it another mate?

Xu Yang shook his head slightly after seeing the barrage of comments.

Finding Luna was already a rare occurrence.

Finding another one for it is not very realistic.

Moreover, Luna didn’t dislike Xiao Hua, it was purely their natural instinct.

A female leopard would leave after pregnancy.

Once he had an explanation, it was fine.

Xu Yang replied,

"Xiao Hua is different from other leopards, its nature doesn’t resemble a wild leopard."

"It’s been like this since it was young."

"Perhaps you all don’t know, I rescued it once when I was younger, and later it came straight from the woods to my home."

"It startled me at that time."

"This guy just doesn’t like to live alone, it’s temperament is more like that of a canine, needing social interaction."

The personalities of feline and canine animals are different.

Cats can be quite happy on their own, while dogs cannot, they need ample social interaction and activity.

Xiao Hua’s personality is quite unique, a bit like a dog that looks like a big cat.

"Xiao Hua, let’s go, let’s walk in that direction."

"I guess Luna has gone back to where she used to live, she’s very familiar with that place and feels safer there."

"It’s quite far from here, I’d need two hours by car to get there."

"I’ll take you there tomorrow."

Xu Yang said to Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua clearly understood Xu Yang’s words.

It immediately got up and ran ahead.

Xu Yang followed it too.

The sight of a man and a leopard moving together in the forest was heartstirring, reminiscent of filming Tarzan.

They seemed like perfect partners living in the primordial forest.

"Xiao Hua, slow down!"

Xu Yang noticed Xiao Hua’s speed and called out.

Although Xiao Hua did not hunt and its tree-climbing skills were slightly flawed, its agility was top-notch.

This guy had been well fed, and its physical talent was not bad either.

So it was quite fast when it ran.

While saying this, Xiao Hua had already run down a steep slope.

Even though Xu Yang was quite agile, he couldn’t run on slopes with such a steep incline.

Humans, with a higher center of gravity and only two-wheel drive, are likely to fall and tumble down.

There was nothing to be done about it.

Xu Yang stood at the top, watching Xiao Hua.

"Xiao Hua, let me take you there tomorrow."

He said to Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua kept watching Xu Yang, and this time, it didn’t listen to Xu Yang’s plan.

Xu Yang realized what it was thinking.

"You want to go on your own? It’s a long way."

"It’s dozens of kilometers."

Xu Yang added.

Xiao Hua still didn’t come back.

The little fellow had grown up and had its own thoughts now.

It seems that after experiencing love, male creatures do grow up.

"Okay, you go then, I’ll find you tomorrow."

Xu Yang, seeing the determination in Xiao Hua’s eyes, agreed to its decision.

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, Xiao Hua turned and ran away, its speed was very fast.

"You’ve grown up!"

"Luna also found you like this, I hope you can find her too."

"Both of you are quite sentimental."

Xu Yang watched Xiao Hua’s disappearing figure and spoke with a smile.

Xu Yang wasn’t worried about not being able to find Xiao Hua afterward, as he had the Treasure Compass that could pinpoint Xiao Hua’s location.

It’s just that there were dangers in the forest, and he still had to be somewhat cautious.

The viewers in the live broadcast felt an increased sense of worry watching this unfold.

[Xiao Hua ran off, huh? Is it chasing Luna? Can it find her?]

[Isn’t this leopard unable to hunt? What if something happens?]

[After all, it’s a wild leopard; no need to worry!]

[I’m curious, can the leopard really understand the host’s words? Its expressions match too well, it’s unbelievable!]

The audience responded as well.

The popularity of the live broadcast remained high.

Xu Yang’s experiences in the mountains were always interesting.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yang planned to go down the mountain and rest early.

He headed in the direction of the mountain’s base.

He was very familiar with this mountain; he knew clearly which paths were easy to navigate and which would take him home the fastest.

Now in April, as the climate in the mountain had warmed up, there were more flowers blooming, and occasionally wild butterflies would fly past.

The birds in the trees were still chirping incessantly, constantly calling out.

It’s unknown whether it’s their nature or a way of exchanging information, but the birds enjoy singing, creating a noisy atmosphere in the summer.

The contents of the live broadcast were still lighthearted. Often, Xu Yang wasn’t focused on the live broadcast, but rather on rushing the mountain.

Many hosts can’t wait to be facing the camera every second, even checking the top right corner of the screen whenever someone enters the chat.

This, in turn, puts pressure on some viewers.

Many people like hosts like Xu Yang.

The atmosphere is relaxed; you watch a bit if you feel like it, and Xu Yang never demands anything from the audience.

After walking for a while, Xu Yang spotted something pink moving in the distance.

His eyesight had become incredibly sharp, practically the standard for perfect vision.

Becoming a pilot would be a piece of cake for him.

He saw the pink thing moving in the distance, then took out a telescope from his pocket and started scouting ahead like a reconnaissance soldier.

Everyone was used to his antics by now.

Xu Yang always managed to pull out all sorts of strange and unusual gadgets.

It was quite interesting to watch.

[Old Xu, what did you see? Don’t just watch by yourself!]

[What did you find that’s making you so happy?]

[Is there something in the distance?]

Unable to contain their curiosity, the audience bombarded him with questions.

After seeing the barrage, Xu Yang replied:

"It’s nothing much, just spotted a pig."

A pig?

The viewers were stunned.

What pig?

They heard Xu Yang continue:

"A pig ran away from the farm before; don’t be fooled by its small size, it runs incredibly fast."

"It ran off to the back mountain, and I thought it got eaten."

"But recently, I saw it living with a family of wild boars, seems like the wild boars adopted it as one of their own."

"It’s actually still alive and seems to be doing well!"

"This little fella is quite impressive."

Xu Yang put down the telescope.

It wasn’t illegal to catch the domestic pig and bring it back, and it was his pig after all.

Xu Yang wanted to take another look.

If the little guy really didn’t want to come back, then living out on the mountain was also good.

On hearing Xu Yang’s words, many viewers remembered the video of him trying to catch the pig.

[I remember now, a pig did run away!]

[It’s still alive?]

[Hahaha, grab it and bring it back!]

The viewers clamored excitedly.

Xu Yang planned to take a look since it was his own pig.

To see how this fella was doing.

Anyway, he was just wandering in the mountains with nothing else to do.

So, Xu Yang quickened his pace and headed in the direction of the domestic pig.

About half an hour later, Xu Yang arrived at his destination.

Little Pink was still with a group of wild boars.

They were joyfully rooting around in the ground in an open area of the forest.

Little Pink’s body was somewhat dirty, but the heart-shaped pattern on its back was still visible.

"Oink"

Xu Yang called out to Little Pink.

Upon hearing the noise, Little Pink immediately turned around.

Seeing that it was Xu Yang, it seemed to react on instinct; its four legs churning rapidly, skidding like burning tires, it turned and ran.

"Hmm?"

Seeing it about to run off again, Xu Yang was now intrigued.

Last time it got away, a lot of people left comments saying he couldn’t even outdo a pig.

This time, he had to catch it.

Thus, Xu Yang started sprinting towards the wild boars.

The surrounding wild boars, startled by Xu Yang’s actions, scattered in all directions, and the big wild pig didn’t even stay to look after its young, fleeing quickly.

This wild pig behaved quite normally; it ran away upon seeing a human.

The drone quickly caught up, capturing the chase between Xu Yang and Little Pink from above.

The live chat exploded in an instant.

[Little Pink, run fast!]

[Don’t get caught by Xu Yang, the Great Demon King!]

[If you get caught, you’ll be eaten!]

[Shocking! The major broadcaster is actually doing this to a sow in the deep mountains and forests!]

The viewers knew how to create a show.

The live stream room was buzzing with excitement.

The little pig was indeed quite fast.

Wherever its hooves trod, grass and soil flew around.

It was an expert.

"What the?"

After running for some distance, Xu Yang was also somewhat surprised.

Having lived with wild boars for a while, its movements were as agile as theirs.

Wild boars can run very fast.

Humans might not be able to catch up easily.

But since Xu Yang had started the chase, it would be rather embarrassing if he couldn’t catch up.

So, Xu Yang took off his backpack and tossed it ahead, landing it in front of Little Pink.

Little Pink got a shock and its speed started to decrease.

The little pig didn’t expect this young man to play dirty!

As Xu Yang quickly closed in and was about to catch up, suddenly, Little Pink did a sharp turn.

In nature, antelope evade predators like lions and leopards in the same way.

A critical turn at the right moment can throw off the hunter.

But Xu Yang was quick to react; as soon as the pig’s hindquarters tensed, he anticipated what the little pig was planning to do.

So just as Little Pink changed direction, Xu Yang preemptively shifted course, and with one move, he pressed down on the pig’s back.

This guy was only about a month old and wasn’t heavy.

Xu Yang easily subdued it.

"Whack!"

Xu Yang slapped its rear end.

"This little rascal, you sure run fast!"

He was a bit out of breath.

Panting after intense exercise, like sprinting a hundred meters, was quite normal.

Witnessing this scene, the viewers also stopped their clamor.

The outcome was decided.

Xu Yang was indeed formidable!
