Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 254 - 253: Xu Yang: Thanks to Big Brother Black Bear for the Hive!

Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Xu Yang: Thanks to Big Brother Black Bear for the Hive!

The sunflowers had already sprouted, and although they hadn’t flowered yet, they spread in patches, vibrant with life.

Xu Yang still wandered around the farm daily.

Occasionally, he made some ice cream or yogurt to sell at the market.

This had become one of the main sources of income for the farm.

After all, it was spring and summer, which mainly focused on planting, and it wasn’t until late summer that the farm’s income would pick up.

Xu Yang, bored, still went into the mountains where the scenery was beautiful.

Today, he thought about checking on the black bear.

Recently, Xu Yang decided he wouldn’t show Xiao Hua and Luna during his livestreams.

Many people still thought that Xiao Hua and Luna were at the Tiger and Leopard Forest Park, and he’d even heard that some people went there looking to capture scenes of them living together.

So, he couldn’t expose Xiao Hua’s whereabouts.

Xiao Hua and Luna were very popular online now, which wasn’t good for wildlife.

"Xiao Hua is too charming, with his clear brow and attractive eyes, agile and nimble like a feline, yet with a gentle disposition," Xu Yang mused.

"Who wouldn’t admire him."

"I’d better keep this leopard to myself," he decided.

Xu Yang made up his mind.

He ventured deep into the mountains, then felt it was about right, and began his livestream.

The mountain scenery was also a routine part of his livestreams.

The drones were activated, and viewership in his room quickly increased.

Everything was as usual.

From time to time, he glanced at the screen, where comments continued to scroll quickly.

"Today, let’s check on the black bear."

"Brought some jerky for it."

"Black bears are omnivores, they eat anything, easy to feed."

"That black bear in the forest is quite comical; it followed me before, asking for food."

Xu Yang shared his plans for the day with everyone.

[Did I hear that wrong, the host is going to touch a black bear in the forest?]

A newbie asked with a shocked face.

Seeing this question, other viewers responded:

[What’s the problem with that?]

[It’s just a black bear; he even touches tigers!]

[You haven’t watched his livestreams, have you? He’s the one who decides what goes on in Changbai Mountain.]

[It’s just a black bear!]

The newbie was even more astounded by the responses from the others.

What a wild situation.

Xu Yang strolled among the tall trees and tall grass.

He remembered that the black bear was active in this area.

This area, near a river and dense with trees, was convenient for fishing or fruit gathering.

It was very suited for a black bear’s life.

After searching around, Xu Yang soon spotted the familiar black figure.

At this moment, the black bear was clumsily climbing a tree.

The bear climbed in the same manner as humans, inching its way up bit by bit.

Seeing this, Xu Yang pointed at the bear and laughed:

"Look over there, the black bear is climbing a tree."

"It wouldn’t be climbing without reason," he said.

Peering closely, Xu Yang spotted what seemed to be a beehive about the size of a basketball up in the tree.

And visually discernible, there were many black honeybees buzzing around the hive.

For some reason, Xu Yang felt that there was something odd about the hive.

The honeybees were buzzing back and forth too frequently, almost as if they were all swarming out.

Normally, a hive wouldn’t behave like this.

However, the viewers in the livestream were quite amused.

[Hahaha, that black bear is a real foodie, going after the honey!]

[Man, how can such a clumsy body climb that high?]

[Wild honeycomb honey is such great stuff, highly nutritious!]

[Black bears’ favorite food seems to be honey!]

Xu Yang walked towards the direction of the black bear, not far from the trees now.

Just then, a buzzing sound erupted near Xu Yang, and he focused to see three particularly long hornets whizzing past him, heading straight for the hive.

"Oh, hornets!" he exclaimed.

"That hive is doomed!"

Xu Yang’s expression changed as he looked up to the hive, quite surprised.

Generally, while honeybees produce honey, hornets do not.

But hornets will attack honeybees to steal their honey.

Hornets’ mandibles can easily slice a bee in two, and their bodies are much stronger.

Oftentimes, when hornets invade a bee’s nest, they will consume the queen bee and steal the honey.

And when they leave, all that remains are the scattered bodies of bees.

Unfortunately, the honeybees are too weak, with little means of attack.

Their only method is to fanatically swarm the hornet, encircle it, and then rapidly flutter their wings to increase temperature and heat the hornet to death.

Lagging behind invites trouble; for the bees, a hornet’s attack is like a crushing blow.

Xu Yang educated his viewers on this fact.

Hearing this, the viewers also felt indignant.

[Hornets are too much!]

[They don’t just steal honey, they actually slaughter bees!]

[Nature is so cruel, one mistake can lead to annihilation!]

[I’ve seen this documentary; therefore, a swarm must guard against the hornets’ sentinels, kill them before they can go back and signal!]

[Yes, that’s right, beekeepers have said in interviews, you must kill the hornet as soon as you spot one.]

The viewers were instantly tense.

Those bees in the hive really were unlucky.

Under attack by the hornets, and also targeted by a black bear.

If you had to say, the black bear only eats the honey, which might damage part of the hive but won’t exterminate the bees; the bees could still thrive afterwards.

Hornets, on the other hand, are a direct onslaught; they entirely wipe out the bee population of a hive before leaving, even eating the bees.

"Hornets are not to be messed with," said Xu Yang as he stepped back.

"They’re poisonous, and a sting is more than a person can handle."

"Black bears can’t stand it either. They’re just not afraid of bees; they’re scared of hornets."

"Hope it doesn’t get poisoned from the stings."

Xu Yang was actually worried about the hornets’ well-being.

At that moment, the black bear was climbing up the tree and had reached the hive.

This guy was definitely not going to eat in the tree, so it gave it a slap.

"Whack!"

The round hive fell directly to the ground.

At that moment, there was already chaos inside the hive.

The bees and hornet were in the midst of a big battle.

Suddenly, both sides were collectively stunned.

What’s going on?

Why do we seem to be in free fall?

Weren’t we flying?

Xu Yang was also stunned.

"What the heck?"

"Are they coming at me?"

Xu Yang, though he had a mosquito-repelling body, could keep insects away, but that was only a gentle repelling.

Against angry hornets, this method might not be effective anymore.

The hive fell, landing just one meter away from Xu Yang’s feet.

The next second, countless buzzing sounds erupted simultaneously.

"Buzzzzzzzzzz"

Countless bewildered hornets and bees flew out of the hive.

"You don’t say!"

Xu Yang took off running.

He couldn’t mess with the hornets.

Even one sting is unbearable.

If he was stung several times, that could be deadly.

Followers could only see Xu Yang disappear with a "swoosh."

Looking again, they saw only a fast-moving figure running away.

In the dense forest, Xu Yang sped through, escaping swiftly.

The followers immediately burst into laughter.

"[Hahaha, Old Xu runs so fast!] "

"[Wasn’t it Old Xu who was supposed to decide how chaotic Changbai Mountain is? Why did he run?] "

"[Old Xu: Thanks to Black Bear Bro for delivering this hive!] "

"[Go hornets, don’t let the street slicker get away!] "

"[So tragic, but I can’t help laughing, hahaha!] "

Xu Yang kept running for a long time.

Only when he felt it was safe did he look back.

There were no hornets following him.

But Xu Yang wasn’t one to let his guard down easily,, carefully sensing his surroundings.

Sure enough, his Danger Perception was triggered, indicating that there were hornets nearby!

These creatures were also tenacious, sticking to their target relentlessly.

A drone flew over, live streaming Xu Yang’s situation.

The followers could only see Xu Yang assuming a alert posture.

They were curious about what he was doing.

The next second, they saw Xu Yang quickly raise his hand and smack down.

"Whack!"

They saw a shadow being smacked to the ground.

One hit wouldn’t kill it, so Xu Yang followed up with a stomp, crushing the hornet under his foot.

Quick, precise, and fierce, all in one fluid motion.

The followers watched this scene, utterly dumbfounded.

Holy sh!t?

What was that?

Did he just eliminate a hornet like that?

From that smack Xu Yang gave, they could even see an afterimage!

The speed was indeed fast.

"[Holy, he’s really not afraid of hornets!] "

"[What kind of palm technique is that?] "

"[Hornet: I didn’t even realize what happened before I died!] "

"[Dude, that’s awesome!] "

"[Good guy, knows martial arts?] "

The barrage exploded.

However, this was just the beginning, as more hornets came flying toward Xu Yang.

These guys were highly aggressive and once they fixated on a target, they were relentless until death.

Having no choice, Xu Yang showed no mercy to avoid being stung himself.

"Whack, whack!"

He slapped down two more hornets with consecutive strikes.

Then he stomped on them again.

After doing all this, Xu Yang still maintained a defensive stance, warily watching his surroundings.

Any hornet that got close couldn’t escape his "fatal palm."

Hornet attacking bees is a dimensional attack.

Xu Yang attacking the hornets is also a dimensional attack.

Ordinary hornets just couldn’t get close to him!

Only after killing several hornets and making sure none were following did Xu Yang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"That scared me."

"If I was stung once, it would have been troublesome."

Xu Yang remarked.

Hearing his words, the followers were speechless.

"[Old Xu, are you sure you were scared by the hornet?] "

"[These hornets died so miserably!] "

"[Hornet oh hornet, why did you mess with him!] "
