Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 245 - 244 Are you kidding me? How can you say you’re not close with each other after all this?

Chapter 245: Chapter 244 Are you kidding me? How can you say you’re not close with each other after all this?

"Old Xu, you’ve got no martial ethics!"

"What’s the skill in using hidden weapons!"

"If you’ve got the guts, fight me fair and square!"

"This is too much, bullying a pig that can’t even talk back!"

The live stream’s comments section was bustling.

Everyone was criticizing Xu Yang’s actions.

But there was no helping it; the pig was just too fast.

Little Pink wasn’t even that fat, which made it the fastest runner; even Bolt might not have been able to catch up.

So using a backpack as a throwing weapon was the only way.

When Xu Yang held down Little Pink, he didn’t really want to harm it; he just wanted to teach it a lesson.

He was just playing.

"After all, the little bugger escaped from my farm," he said.

"But since it likes it outside so much, I’ll just let it be," he added.

Xu Yang released his grip.

As soon as he let go, Little Pink immediately got up and ran to the side.

After a few steps, upon realizing Xu Yang wasn’t chasing it, Little Pink stopped and looked back at him curiously.

Pigs, after all, only care about eating and sleeping, so they prefer staying in their pens.

All the piglets Xu Yang raised were like this.

You just had to feed them.

All these domestic pigs were "selectively bred" by their forebears.

However, there are always exceptions, like the one right in front of him.

Seeing how strong its will to live was, Xu Yang decided to let it roam free.

Xu Yang glanced at the barrage of comments and saw everyone saying he was fighting dirty. He laughed and explained,

"There’s no way around it; pigs can run quite fast."

"A fully-grown domestic pig, if it’s been overfed and doesn’t exercise, might not run as fast."

"But a piglet like this one, who runs around in the mountains with wild boars every day, is all muscle on its legs and really hard to catch."

Xu Yang picked up his backpack; today’s live stream had come to an end, and he headed down the mountain to rest back at his farm.

But Little Pink’s ordeal was far from over.

The more remote the place, the more twisted some people’s minds become.

Like when someone painted some lovely pictures on a village wall and the next day, they were splashed with paint.

Or when someone poisoned the fishponds, or deliberately cut the plastic film in the fields.

Such incidents were countless.

And often, they were done by relatives or neighbors.

People can be truly malicious.

Xu Yang had put up fences around his farm early on and had installed security cameras as well.

It was all to prevent these kinds of incidents.

Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

The adventure of Little Pink was witnessed by two villagers from the same village, and they got an idea.

Catching a domestic pig in the mountains isn’t against the law.

It made perfect sense.

So, the next morning, those two actually went up the mountain in search of Little Pink.

After all, it could be worth some money.

The two men indeed found Little Pink, and they decided to flank it from both sides.

Then, they both started chasing after Little Pink, who only gave them a glance and then, with wheels blazing, took off running.

They chased for a few steps, but the distance between them only grew.

They were dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Could it run that fast?

Does it teleport?

Little Pink didn’t run too far before it looked back at the two men.

Its expression seemed to carry a touch of mockery.

Not giving up, the two men sped up again, determined to catch Little Pink.

Seeing that they were still in pursuit, Little Pink accelerated again, running farther away.

The men couldn’t talk about catching the pig at this point; they soon lost sight of even its tail.

"Is this really a domestic pig? Did it eat an engine or something? It’s so fast!" one villager said, out of breath.

"It didn’t seem this fast in the video!" the other villager responded.

Since they were unable to catch up, they had no choice but to give up.

To survive in the mountains, Little Pink surely had some tricks up its sleeve.

Xu Yang didn’t know about these events at first. Later on, when he came home for a meal, Xu Hongshan mentioned it.

He said that two people went into the mountains to catch Little Pink but failed.

At that point, Xu Yang became even more cautious about the content of his live streams.

He decided not to stream from the back of the mountain anymore, or at least, he would walk deeper into the woods before streaming.

He didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for the wildlife up there.

People can be wicked; you never know what might happen.

The next day.

Xu Yang got up early and had Ma Wen drive him deep into Changbai Mountain.

The car wound its way on the mountain road.

Farther and farther they went.

There was nothing at the farm that needed his direct attention at the moment, so it was a good time to check on the leopards.

Moreover, the recent live streams were so popular, both gifts and popularity value were soaring.

Such a good opportunity meant more streaming time to make more money.

Around nine in the morning, Xu Yang got out of the car.

This time, he didn’t even bring a backpack; he just carried a small knife and a grass-cutting knife.

Both knives had sheaths, making them easy to grip and carry in hand.

Xu Yang told Ma Wen to go have a look around while he went into the mountains to find the leopards.

The drone followed as usual.

By around 10:30 am, Xu Yang felt he was deep enough in the mountains where no one could know his whereabouts, and that’s when he started the live stream.

Soon, the live room was bustling again.

"This area used to be where Black Panther Luna lived, and Northeast Tigers are also very active around here."

"Further in, that’s Little Mountain God’s territory."

"If you walk to the side and cross a mountain, that’s the National Tiger and Leopard Forest Park, with lots of tigers and leopards."

"Black Panther Luna has just gotten pregnant, she will definitely find a safe place to hide and won’t wander around."

"With that in mind, finding her is going to be very difficult."

Xu Yang said to the netizens.

"But I always have to try."

Everyone knew the story of Xiao Hua and Luna.

Xiao Hua was innately adorable and popular online.

So the fans really hoped to find Luna.

[Just let them reunite. I want to see the two leopards together!]

[Yeah, if they could really stay together, it would be a beautiful story!]

[Luna: I’m just gonna hide and have a baby, and have two guys go crazy over me!]

[Hahaha, Old Xu is really taking Xiao Hua’s matter to heart!]

Everyone responded in succession.

Xu Yang did take it to heart. He had no choice—his own leopards had to be looked after well.

Who knows where Xiao Hua is now, but she is a wild animal and living in the wild is no big deal.

Xu Yang strolled through the mountain forest.

Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of wings flapping overhead.

He looked up and saw Little Black Kite flying straight down towards him.

To think that he didn’t find Luna, but Little Black Kite took the initiative to approach him.

This guy has grown a bit more, too.

Considering the days, it’s about time for it to reach adulthood and start seeking Xu Yang on its own.

He was still live streaming, and as Little Black Kite flew down swiftly, Xu Yang instinctively raised his arm for Little Black Kite to land on his forearm.

Seeing the Black Kite descend, the viewers in the live room fell silent.

What... what’s happening?

Out of nowhere, an eagle flies down.

"Uh..."

Xu Yang was somewhat at a loss for words.

He paused before saying,

"This is a Black Kite, a type of bird of prey."

"Um... I don’t know why it flew down onto my arm."

"I’m not familiar with it, not at all."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, the netizens became uproarious.

[Are you kidding me? After all this, you’re still not familiar?]

[Damn, you’re keeping an eagle too?!]

[You admit that it’s your arm?]

[OMG, what’s going on? How did such a big bird fly down?]

[He’s also keeping a bird of prey?]

Little Black Kite had appeared once before.

But as there are always new people online, many weren’t aware of Little Black Kite’s existence.

The sight of the Black Kite landing surprised everyone.

Xu Yang glanced at the barrage of comments, noticing everyone, indeed, did not believe him, and he wasn’t sure how to explain himself for a moment.

Keeping birds of prey is certainly illegal.

Xu Yang had explained to the police station that he never raised the Black Kite; it flew down on its own.

With a report made, he didn’t need to worry about anything.

But avoiding creating a public fuss was still preferable.

"Many people don’t know, so I’ll explain again."

"This Little Black Kite flew to my farm before and landed on my arm."

"But I really don’t know it, and I’m not familiar with it at all."

Xu Yang held up Little Black Kite, explaining once more.

There Little Black Kite stood on Xu Yang’s arm, gazing at him with a trustful and gentle look that was visibly sincere.

In this situation, saying that they don’t know each other—who would believe that!

[Old Xu, stop explaining. Just be ready to sit tight in jail!]

[This bird of prey is so cool!]

[It’s so awesome, there’s actually an eagle too!]

[Jealous!]

Everyone continued with various comments.

Xu Yang just stopped talking.

Tired, he thought, whatever.

He looked at the Little Black Kite on his arm and even stroked its head with his other hand.

Little Black Kite cooperated, still examining Xu Yang intently.

"This Black Kite is beautiful, not only with good genes but also well-nourished, and its feathers are shiny."

"Really nice."

"Come on, take a fly around, let me see."

Xu Yang lifted his arm up.

As if understanding Xu Yang’s words, Little Black Kite leaped and then soared into the sky.

It flew in midair, circling above Xu Yang, and then flew back down.

Xu Yang quickly raised his arm to catch it.

While some viewers still felt Xu Yang and this Black Kite were not acquainted, with both human and bird now in clear evidence, there was no possibility of denial.

"If only Little Black Kite could help me find leopards."

"Its vision is excellent; it can see everything. If Luna returns, it would definitely notice."

Xu Yang held Little Black Kite, lamenting.

Of course, Little Black Kite couldn’t understand this sentiment.

Afterwards, Xu Yang, holding Little Black Kite, continued on his way.

The netizens jokingly described the scene as:

A prominent live streamer, bearing a bird, walking through the mountain woods.

The atmosphere in the live room was lively too.
