Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 268 - 267: The Most Critical Moment, Three Northeast Tigers!

Chapter 268: Chapter 267: The Most Critical Moment, Three Northeast Tigers!

Time flew by.

Every day was spent busily with farming work and walking the small animals, and just like that, the days went by.

Under Xu Yang’s arrangement, life on the farm gradually stabilized.

Before each market day, everyone would collect the eggs and milk to sell freshly made cakes at the market.

Chen Juan was very skilled in baking and had started experimenting with tear-apart bread.

The tear-apart bread sold well and brought a decent income to the farm.

Before long, the Treasure Compass had accumulated ten uses again.

Xu Yang, having nothing better to do, decided to visit Little Mountain God, the Northeast Tiger.

A tiger is a tiger after all, and in the instant of seeing it, all other feline creatures paled in comparison.

In terms of size, strength, and burst, there was nothing more ferocious than a Northeast Tiger.

Pure muscle all over.

Especially when a tiger sprinted, its body was all rippling muscle, and even watching felt intimidating.

There’s a saying, "like adding wings to a tiger," and one only needs to see a tiger sprinting to understand why.

One gets the feeling it’s the most powerful predator on land.

Xu Yang found Little Mountain God and sat next to it.

After seeing the live stream, Wang Jianghai from the Tiger and Leopard Protection Station called him.

"Old Xu, you’re visiting the Mountain God again?"

Wang Jianghai greeted him.

"Yeah, just taking a stroll around here."

Xu Yang replied.

Then Wang Jianghai continued,

"You should still be careful though, recently we’ve detected two Northeast Tigers entering the Mountain God’s territory, they’re the Mountain God’s brothers."

"They always move together and within their range, they have no rivals."

"Even within the National Forest Park, they are the strongest, and other tigers dare not provoke them."

"I’m worried they might encounter each other."

"In terms of combat, Mountain God wouldn’t stand a chance against Number 1 and Number 2 Mountain Cubs."

On hearing Wang Jianghai’s words, Xu Yang immediately sat up straight.

"The two brothers are out?"

"What happened?"

Xu Yang’s tone was slightly surprised.

"Yes, they sometimes come out to patrol the surrounding area."

"The other tigers avoid them whenever they encounter them."

"Generally speaking, Northeast Tigers don’t harm each other."

"But there’s always a risk, and I’m more worried about you encountering them."

Wang Jianghai said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang indeed felt some pressure.

Two tigers living together moving in this direction would indeed pose a danger if encountered.

His luck had been good this time coming in.

"I only have one temporary Goodwill Card, if I meet the brothers, I can only soothe one at most."

"Whether the other one attacks me is another question."

Xu Yang was calculating in his mind.

He looked towards Little Mountain God again.

No wonder Little Mountain God seemed restless, always looking up and around.

It seems it also sensed something.

Xu Yang spoke to the online viewers,

"Things are worse than I thought. I just received a message from the patrol guard at the Tiger and Leopard Protection Station that two tigers have left the National Forest Park and are moving in this direction."

"The daily life of a tiger consists of hunting, resting, and strolling around."

"If they come over here this time, it’s really hard to say what might happen when we encounter them."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, the viewers instantly became tense.

[Ah? Are there tigers coming this way?]

[Two tigers? Oh my god, I’m suddenly so nervous!]

[Old Xu, will you survive?]

[This is really dangerous this time!]

The atmosphere in the live streaming room became somewhat oppressive.

In the place captured by the drone, it felt like a tiger could suddenly appear at any moment.

Xu Yang looked around and saw no sign of tigers for the time being.

He then raised the drone, using it as a reconnaissance device, to scan the area, but still saw nothing.

For now, it was safe.

"Mountain God, your brothers are coming over," Xu Yang told the tiger beside him.

The tiger stood up, on alert, looking in a certain direction as if it could sense the presence of danger.

Today’s live broadcast was bound to be thrilling.

Xu Yang was not as calm as usual.

The arrival of two tigers was no joke this time.

Furthermore, Xu Yang was also concerned for Little Mountain God’s safety.

If they met and a fight broke out, what then?

"Safety is the priority, it’s about time to leave," he said.

"I need to thank the protection station for informing me."

"The mountains here are indeed dangerous, don’t attempt to imitate what I’ve done."

Xu Yang didn’t forget to educate his viewers.

Then, he shouldered his backpack, intending to leave.

He had completed today’s Treasure Hunting Task, and the rewards were just some trinkets.

Not worth much money.

Xu Yang patted Little Mountain God and said goodbye, then set off straight away.

But just after walking a dozen steps, his heart suddenly started to beat wildly.

Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump...

He felt he had entered a peculiar state.

It was as if every cell in his body had been mobilised.

His Danger Perception Skill had been triggered!

Moreover, judging by his body’s reaction, this was the most intense response he’d had so far.

"No way," Xu Yang’s eyes shifted slightly.

"Have I been targeted?"

Xu Yang looked around, but for the moment, he saw no trace of the tigers.

But judging from its physical condition, it was undoubtedly a Northeast Tiger.

"Two Northeast Tigers, and I only have one goodwill card, which is temporary."

"If I run into both of them, I definitely won’t be able to beat them."

"Right now, it’s safest by the side of Little Mountain God."

"It really has to act as my bodyguard!"

Xu Yang quickly thought through his options.

He always made the most accurate judgments.

Then, Xu Yang quickly returned to the side of the Mountain God.

Seeing this scene, the netizens were a bit surprised.

[What’s happening?]

As everyone was puzzled, they saw Little Mountain God stand up too, looking alertly into the distance.

From its posture, it was clearly on full alert.

When a tiger is on alert, that sense of deadly intent comes hitting you right in the face.

Seeing both Xu Yang and the tiger like this, the netizens also realized that something bad was happening.

[Could it be that those two tigers have shown up?]

[Is this for real? So thrilling?]

The netizens’ hearts raced and their palms sweated.

Xu Yang’s expression was grave.

"This is really dangerous, those two tigers might be nearby."

"Who knows what they’ll do?"

Xu Yang spoke aloud.

As his voice fell, they saw two Northeast Tigers stroll out of the jungle leisurely.

They had been walking through the woods, so the drone had not spotted them.

When the two Northeast Tigers appeared, the netizens felt their hearts skip a beat, their minds going blank.

They actually showed up!

Two more Northeast Tigers!

Looking at it this way, there were three Northeast Tigers in the live broadcast frame!

One stood beside Xu Yang, the other two were on the opposite side.

The scene was even more thrilling than in the movies.

The two strolling Northeast Tigers were also stunned.

They were actually just out to have some fun, like tourists.

Just wandering about outside.

They never expected to run into another of their kind on this unknown mountain, let alone next to a two-legged beast!

What kind of combination was this?

Man and Nature?

Little Mountain God was full of wariness.

This place was its territory.

If these two Northeast Tigers insisted on intruding, it could only run away.

In nature, it’s the survival of the fittest. If it was one-on-one, it might fight, but one against two, it could only run.

Little Mountain God growled lowly at the two tigers.

The tigers were not pleased and positioned themselves for attack, baring their teeth and letting out threatening roars.

In these mountains, even their own kind wouldn’t dare to provoke them like this.

As the situation grew more dangerous.

The netizens in the live stream were covering their mouths, some too frightened to keep watching.

In such a situation, Xu Yang, caught in the middle, had almost no chance of survival.

Xu Yang also sensed that something was off.

There might really be a conflict.

To avoid an accident, he decided to use the Good Person Card.

Xu Yang used the Good Person Card on one of the Northeast Tigers, the one with the bigger mane.

In that instant, the eyes of this Northeast Tiger changed slightly.

What’s going on?

There was a hint of confusion in its gaze.

Why did it suddenly not want to attack?

Next to it, Tiger Brother 2 looked at Tiger Brother 1, who had stopped roaring, and felt puzzled:

"Bro, what’s up? Were you about to give them a beatdown?"

Tiger Brother 1’s mood stabilized, its expression calm:

"Bro, this two-legged beast seems alright, let’s not fight them."

In that moment, the situation became somewhat chaotic.

Tiger Brother felt that Tiger Brother 1 no longer wanted to fight, so its desire to attack also faded.

The two glanced at Xu Yang and Little Mountain God, exchanged a brief communication, then turned and ran away.

The danger was lifted.

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing, it’s over.

After all, with two tigers on his side, there wouldn’t be much danger.

Seeing the two tigers run away, Little Mountain God also clearly relaxed.

The barrage in the livestream was effervescent.

[They’re gone! Holy cow! That was terrifying!]

[Celebrate Old Xu surviving another day!]

[The mountains are so dangerous, I get scared every time I watch!]

[It’s a miracle that Old Xu is still alive till now!]

[This streamer is too fierce!]

Xu Yang glanced at the barrage and he too was covered in a cold sweat.

"I really got scared this time, three Northeast Tigers!"

"If they had started fighting, I wouldn’t have had a chance to retaliate."

"Too scary."

"To think I could encounter such a situation in the woods!"

"Seems like I should communicate with the Tiger and Leopard Protection Station in advance in the future."

Xu Yang reflected.

Live and cherish.

Xu Yang waited a while longer, then after greeting Little Mountain God, he headed off in another direction.

It was better to leave for now.

If he waited for the Good Person Card’s duration to expire and ran into these two again, no one could say what might happen.
