Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 280 - 279: Black Bear: Don’t Run, This is My Big Brother!

Chapter 280: Chapter 279: Black Bear: Don’t Run, This is My Big Brother!

Xu Yang slid all the way down the slope.

There was a gully below, about five or six meters deep. Just as Xu Yang was about to fall, he quickly extended his foot, stepping on the opposite side of the ravine, and with a pull back with both hands, he managed to stop.

The scene looked very dangerous.

Quite a few small stones and clods of dirt tumbled down.

The online audience couldn’t help but let out a gasp of surprise.

Then, they only saw Xu Yang holding on to a boulder with both hands, withdrawing his feet, and nimbly climbing up.

"That was close, there’s a cliff below."

"But it’s not too deep, about five meters."

Xu Yang stood at the top of the cliff, looking down into the gully.

He only saw a lion lying on its side inside, its condition unknown.

"The lion is here, my judgment was correct."

"Found the second lion too."

"It indeed slipped and fell down."

Upon seeing the lion, Xu Yang said with a smile.

The online audience, after witnessing Xu Yang’s heroic act, were too stunned to speak.

Suddenly, the live chat exploded.

[Old Xu, you’re so fierce!]

[He actually found it!]

[Finding one lion is impressive enough, but he found both!]

[Changbai Mountain is chaotic or not, Old Xu has the final say!]

[So strong, the tough guy of the mountains!]

The number of viewers in the live stream kept increasing, and without a doubt, it made the trending list again.

At this very moment.

The search and rescue teams, the fire brigade, and the police were still searching in the mountains.

Within the search and rescue team, a group of five people were walking further in while chatting leisurely:

"The mountain is so vast, where do we even start looking for lions?"

"Didn’t they find one already? The second one can’t be far!"

"Let’s be careful, guys, we don’t want a lion to pounce out and bite us!"

"Looks like we’re going to be searching until dark today, so be prepared."

Everyone was discussing fervently.

Just then, the search and rescue team leader’s walkie-talkie suddenly crackled to life:

"Attention all groups, attention all groups, the second lion has been found, coordinates confirmed, everyone move towards the coordinates."

Hearing this, the team members were momentarily stunned.

"Found it?"

"Great, that was quite efficient. Which team found it?"

"Let me check."

After that, the search and rescue team leader used the walkie-talkie to inquire about the details.

He heard the reply:

"Who else could find it so quickly, the second one was found by Xu Yang too."

"The location this time is off-track; if it weren’t for him, we may not have found it at all."

"Everyone, gather up quickly, we will probably need to hoist it up, so get the ropes and stretcher ready."

Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, the search and rescue team members showed a look of surprise.

"It’s him again, unbelievable!"

"This guy is really something else, very impressive!"

"In this day and age, whoever makes it big online definitely has some skills!"

"His strength is legit, let’s see which of you can even touch a wild tiger!"

"I really don’t know how he does it!"

The team members were exhilarated.

They hastened towards the target location.

Soon, one after another, teams approached the area.

The lion that fell into the gully was also unlucky, injured and also hit by a few tranquilizer darts.

Then the team members went down to prepare to get it out.

There were a lot of people at the scene, making it somewhat chaotic.

So an interesting scene took place.

A group of people was rescuing the lion, while another group surrounded Xu Yang for a photo.

Practically every team came over to take a photo with Xu Yang.

For them, taking a photo with Xu Yang was the biggest achievement of the trip.

Xu Yang was happy to oblige, taking photos with teams from the fire brigade, the search and rescue, and the police.

Everyone had gone into the mountain to find the animals, which was no easy feat.

Because the lion was found, the atmosphere on-site was quite relaxed.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

At this time, it was getting late, already past four in the afternoon.

There was still a black bear missing.

With the black bear, everyone was less anxious.

Since black bears naturally live in the mountains, an extra black bear would not impact the ecology, and it could survive on its own.

If it could be found, then good; if not, they could only wait for another opportunity.

Moreover, Xu Yang planned to head back to the farm, and after learning this, the search and rescue team also didn’t intend to earnestly look for the black bear.

After an unsuccessful search, they withdrew.

The subsequent matters were handed over to the Forestry Bureau and the animal protection association.

Although it was a natural disaster, the institutional style demanded accountability for any incident.

Therefore, the circus’s lions were taken over by the zoo.

The circus acknowledged this as well.

The circus owner felt like he had a narrow escape from calamity, to him, as long as no incidents occurred, it was fine; he didn’t care much about the lions and the black bear.

And so, the matter passed.

After finding the lions, Xu Yang was on his way back to the farm.

He said to the online audience with a smile:

"Today’s events were really outrageous, me looking for lions in the mountains."

"It’s truly a rare sight."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, the audience in the live stream all started laughing.

[Old Xu, there are hardly a few things you’ve experienced that aren’t outrageous!]

[Hahahaha, just touching a tiger is outrageous enough!]

[Who else dares to play around like you?]

[Being able to find it is really impressive; it feels like you’re better than a search and rescue team in the mountain!]

The atmosphere in the live stream was relaxed and cheerful.

Xu Yang’s live streams were always like this, occasionally thrilling, but always laid-back and pleasant.

Xu Yang was strolling through the forest, this time, not hunting for mountain goods or as alert as he was when he used to enter the mountain.

Instead, he seemed more composed and calm.

Perhaps because he was too familiar with it.

The scenery in the mountain was still very good.

The vegetation was lush, and flowers were blooming.

The sounds of birds and insects were endless.

The air even had a hint of freshness to it.

Just then, a sharp screech sounded overhead.

The Black Kite, seemingly aware that Xu Yang was the center of attention today, deliberately flew down to add a touch of mystery and wildness to Xu Yang.

Only to see the Black Kite gliding down, continuously descending, flapping its wings above Xu Yang’s head to slow down.

Xu Yang quickly extended his arm, giving it a place to land.

Dressed in a long-sleeved sweatshirt, Xu Yang also avoided touching the Black Kite with his fingertips, simply pressing the thick palm of his hand against Xu Yang’s arm, the talons then tightly grasped.

It wouldn’t cause any damage to Xu Yang’s arm.

Now, there were many people in Xu Yang’s live stream, and a large portion of them had never seen the Black Kite.

Xu Yang was just about to explain when someone sent a barrage of messages:

[Don’t be surprised, everyone, Old Xu said that he doesn’t raise the eagle and is not familiar with it!]

[Believe it or not, I definitely don’t!]

[Even at this point, he says he’s not familiar, is the host fooling ghosts?]

[Hahaha, this is a Black Kite, what can you do if it gets close to him?]

[A bird of prey that wasn’t raised from a young age getting close to humans? Impossible!]

[For him, it’s still normal.]

Everyone was chattering away in the live stream.

Xu Yang wasn’t paying too much attention to the barrage of messages.

Looking at the Black Kite on his arm, he joked:

"If you could understand what I’m saying, I’d have you find whatever it is in the mountain."

"Your eyes are much better than a drone’s."

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, the Black Kite tilted its head to size him up, as if savoring his words.

This Black Kite was exceptionally beautiful, full of vitality, possessing the haughtiness and aloof temperament of a bird of prey.

Standing on Xu Yang’s arm, it used its beak to preen its feathers a few times, scratching itself happily.

After resting enough, it opened its wings, ready to take off.

Xu Yang coordinated with it tacitly, lifting his arm straight up.

The Black Kite immediately took to the sky with a flapping of its wings, creating a breeze that tousled Xu Yang’s hair.

The scene looked cool.

It was rare to see such a scene in modern society.

Xu Yang then continued to navigate through the forest.

The lion matter had thus come to a close.

Additionally, the police from the station asked Xu Yang, if he encountered any traces of the Black Bear in the mountain, to tell them.

The bear was easy to recognize, as it had a collar around its neck.

Xu Yang had agreed at that time.

Two days later, when Xu Yang entered the mountain for his Treasure Hunting Task,

he indeed saw that Black Bear.

The collar around its neck was particularly conspicuous.

But Xu Yang made no move.

The circus’s Black Bear was spending time with the one that had grown close to the farm.

The two seemed to have struck up a friendship, moving together, appearing to have a close relationship.

Xu Yang found it quite curious, since Black Bears seem to live as solitary creatures, and you seldom see them with families.

Yet these two Black Bears seemed to be making a go of it.

"Black here is pretty interesting, always coming to the farm to scrounge for food and drink, and he even lured away the circus’s Black Bear," Xu Yang muttered with a smile as he watched the two bears together.

He wasn’t live streaming, but he just walked over and greeted the two Black Bears.

The circus’s Black Bear, seeing a person approaching, got scared and immediately turned tail to run.

But the one Xu Yang called "Black" happily ran toward Xu Yang.

It didn’t forget to look back at the circus’s Black Bear:

"Don’t run, this is my big brother!"

The circus’s Black Bear: "I used to have a big brother too, he hit me every day."

Black: "Don’t be scared, my big brother doesn’t hit people, he only feeds fish."

As Xu Yang approached Black, watching this silly bear, he found it very interesting and patted its head.

Black grinned foolishly too.

Seeing this scene, the circus’s Black Bear first stopped to watch for a while, and after Xu Yang fed it a few times, it gradually started trusting Xu Yang.

This guy was quite naive.

And it felt... somewhat introverted.

What was truly outrageous was that it walked upright.

Normally, Black Bears would walk on all fours, only standing up for occasional fights or such.

This bear, however, ambled forward on its hind legs, front paws dangling, looking quite fast.

If someone saw it at night, they would surely be scared half to death.

This was truly a Black Bear with spirit!

Realizing that this fellow was not aggressive and was quite simple, Xu Yang removed the collar from it.

It was living well in the mountain, and the place was quite suitable for it.

Plus, the bear slowly learned to walk on all fours, blending in with the forest more and more.

From that day on, the circus’s Black Bear ceased to exist, and Changbai Mountain gained an unnamed Black Bear.

Anyway, no one cared, and since it was living happily here, it was allowed to continue living here.
