Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 287 - 286: Huh? The Black Bear is the Strongest?

Chapter 287: Chapter 286: Huh? The Black Bear is the Strongest?

The breeding boar had quit working on its first day at the farm.

In the morning, Xu Yang checked on it and found the boar standing idly in the pen.

Even the sows’ seduction didn’t seem to bother it.

"What’s the matter with it?"

"Aren’t you the strongest boar around? Can’t handle it anymore?"

"Even the farm’s donkeys wouldn’t dare take a break like this," Xu Yang said puzzled.

He then called the farm owner, and after asking, he found out that the boar needed to be brushed all over its body before performing.

Being a breeding boar really was different.

So, Xu Yang called over Ma Wen to give it a full-body brush massage.

"This guy sure knows how to enjoy; acts like he knows he’s a big deal."

Upon hearing this news, Ma Wen couldn’t help but laugh and make a remark.

"Let’s brush it first, after all, we still need it to work," Xu Yang replied.

So, Ma Wen took a brush, entered the pen, and started brushing the boar.

The boar’s fur was somewhat brown, making it look almost like a wild boar.

This fellow’s body was quite clean; the brushing was purely for scratching its itch.

After a thorough brushing, the boar seemed satisfied and went off to work.

Breeding boars, stallions, and bulls often receive special treatment, given their superior genetics.

Like the lords of the grasslands who need to bid in an auction just to buy a breeding bull.

Farms rely mainly on raising cattle for income, and spending two to three hundred thousand to buy a breeding bull is normal.

With the boar’s matters handled, Xu Yang then took the red-crowned crane for a stroll.

He headed to the farm’s open area, looking out of the fence, hoping to see Xiao Hua’s family turn up.

But today, Xiao Hua and her family had not come.

Xu Yang continued with his own work.

The farm’s development was becoming stable.

Xu Yang started planning another round of traveling for fun.

Life always needed some enjoyment, and having the Treasure Compass in hand, it would be a pity not to wander around.

Moreover, now that Treasure Compass had been upgraded, it could accumulate 12 treasure hunting chances.

It was equivalent to three treasure-hunting tasks.

He could have a blast with just one trip into the mountains.

Thus, Xu Yang pulled out a map, deliberating on where to travel for fun.

"Jade Leopard at Kunlun Mountain, Tibetan antelope in the Tibetan Region, or perhaps Yunnan with the highest biodiversity?"

Xu Yang thought it over.

The place with the highest biodiversity in China was Yunnan, with over thirty-five thousand species. Sichuan was second, with over twenty-five thousand species, and Taiwan third with over twenty thousand species.

Xu Yang planned to see the Jade Leopard first.

After all, among various leopards, the Jade Leopard was one of the most visually appealing, and its coloration was very likable.

However, finding a wild Jade Leopard on the plateau was difficult.

Even the leopards in zoos were rare.

The Jade Leopard only thrived in high mountain climates because its resistance was weak; too many pathogens in the lowlands would prevent its survival.

The high-altitude air was thinner and held fewer pathogens, fitting leopards better.

Xu Yang hesitated slightly, deciding to postpone the leopard trip.

In the end, he decided to tour Taiwan instead.

Taiwan tourism was open, and some people from the Northeast lived there.

The geographical position of Taiwan was unique, and with its vast forested area and abundant natural resources, it served as a natural oxygen bar.

It would make a nice visit.

Later, Xu Yang searched online for what wild animals were in Taiwan.

Through his search, he found out that the most ferocious wild animal there was the Black Bear.

The Black Bears here were somewhat unique with a white V-shaped mark on their chest, resembling a small bra.

"Ah? The Black Bear is the strongest?"

"No tigers, leopards, brown bears, or wolves?"

"Won’t it be invincible in the mountains? Just wander around?"

Xu Yang thought.

The degree of danger was still lacking.

Possibly, the conditions in the north and south were indeed different.

Even the animals there seemed somewhat cute.

After making a decision, Xu Yang got busy with the paperwork and booking the tickets.

It had been a while since he had rested at the farm; it was time to do some live streaming.

After all, he was the top guy in the outdoor adventure category now.

Too many people liked him, expected things from him, so he had to give back to these sincere fans.

"Time to go to work," Xu Yang thought to himself.

To him, being at the farm didn’t count as work, since he was the boss and could do whatever he wanted.

Live streaming, however, was work because many people anticipated him doing certain things, creating pressure.

Resting for ten days and working a few didn’t sound too bad.

After all, it wasn’t much exhausting.

Xu Hongshan would temporarily take care of the farm’s affairs.

And Xu Hongshan was happy about it.

He spent each day chatting with the staff, eating and drinking, and taking care of the animals; he was quite content.

Even supermarket restocking involved going with Ma Wen and Wang Wu.

Mainly because Xu Yang had given his parents some money, the old couple lacked for nothing and lived well.

Xu Yang entered Taiwan.

Following the path through Yushan Scenic Area, he didn’t take the official roads but shouldered his backpack and headed straight into the deep mountains.

With the extensive mountain ranges and lush vegetation, it was unlikely to thoroughly explore in a short time; he just roamed a particular area, experiencing the local natural scenery.

Soon, the live streaming started.

When Xu Yang started his live stream, the popularity of the room began to increase rapidly.

In the live stream, the scene was, as always, lush and green.

The deep mountain’s tranquil beauty was fully demonstrated.

[Old Xu, where are you off to this time!]

[Finally started streaming!]

[Isn’t that the lecturer from Agricultural University? He’s ventured into the mountains again!]

[Big guy, where are you this time?]

Netizens asked one after another in the live chat.

Xu Yang did not tell everyone where he was, as it wasn’t necessary yet.

Maintaining the mystery made things more interesting.

"Today, I’ve entered deep into the mountains again, and the variety of species here is rich."

"You all can guess where I am."

Xu Yang asked the netizens.

Everyone immediately started discussing in a lively manner.

But very few guessed correctly.

[Old Xu, stop teasing us, where exactly are you!]

[There are so many answers, I can’t guess at all.]

Everyone couldn’t help but urge him.

Xu Yang was calm and just strolled in the mountains.

The scenery here was indeed beautiful.

The mountain forest was extremely lush, and the flowers were also splendid.

Moreover, Xu Yang felt completely unguarded, maintaining a relaxed state consistently.

It was entirely different from Ailao Mountain.

When he first went deep into Ailao Mountain, the miasma and poisonous insects kept him on constant alert.

Here, the mountain forest seemed gentle; walking through it felt very comfortable.

Xu Yang took out a map and looked at it, he hadn’t reached the deepest part yet.

With only three treasure hunting tasks available, it was best to cherish them and head deeper to complete the tasks.

Xu Yang had discovered that the first time you visit a place and undertake a treasure hunting task, the rewards are always exceptionally good, and there’s even a chance to acquire skills.

But if you continue tasks in the same place, the rewards become increasingly mediocre.

So, to obtain good rewards, going to new places is necessary.

He came here motivated by the chance to collect rewards from a treasure hunting task.

Just then, several monkeys appeared on a nearby tree.

These monkeys were light brown and looked like typical monkeys—with red faces and red buttocks.

They were not afraid of people at all; upon seeing Xu Yang, they were curious and even followed him, with one descending from the tree apparently to get a closer look at Xu Yang.

[There are monkeys! Where is this?]

[Monkeys? Most likely Yunnan!]

[Could it be Qinling? Aren’t there monkeys there too?]

[This seems like a macaque, definitely in the south!]

As Xu Yang was always mysterious, everyone started guessing again.

Xu Yang glanced at the comments, and seeing that no one had guessed correctly, he found it quite amusing.

"This type of monkey is quite common here; some monkeys live close to human settlements, they directly approach human areas for food, and they aren’t scared of people at all."

"Not just seen frequently, but they are also a first-level protected species."

"So I really can’t mess with them."

Xu Yang said to the netizens.

First level protected species?

These monkeys?

They didn’t seem like it at all.

At this moment, a guru had already guessed Xu Yang’s location by analyzing the monkeys’ features.

[No way, aren’t these Taiwan’s Formosan rock monkeys? Also known as Taiwan monkeys, has Old Xu gone to Taiwan?]

[He went to Taiwan?]

[It’s Taiwan, good job Old Xu!]

[Has the guy from the Northeast run off to Taipei?]

The chat erupted with activity.

Seeing that everyone had guessed, Xu Yang decided to reveal it outright.

"This place is indeed the deep mountains of Taiwan; the natural resources here are very rich, the mountain range vast, and the area of the forest is huge."

"Planning to tour around this area, check out the scenery."

Xu Yang responded with a smile.

Check out the scenery?

The netizens were once again impressed.

Others visiting here would just stroll around scenic areas and listen to the beautiful Taiwanese girls speak.

Xu Yang, on the other hand, went directly into the deep mountains.

But everyone found it quite good because if Xu Yang ventured into the mountains, they could see the true mountain landscape.

Round to the nearest whole number, it was as if they had been there too.

"These are Taiwan monkeys, a first-level protected species,"

"Not afraid of people at all."

Xu Yang took out a bag of milky biscuits from his pocket, opened the package, took a few biscuits, and gave one to each monkey.

The monkeys took the biscuits and immediately popped them into their mouths, starting to savor them.

Xu Yang then continued on his way.

Perhaps due to the horror valley effect, Xu Yang felt the monkeys weren’t cute, and he wasn’t really keen on touching them.

The golden snub-nosed monkeys had smooth fur, tempting one to give them a touch.

Other monkeys, not so much.

But feeding them still felt pretty good.

Watching Xu Yang walk away, the monkeys’ eyes filled with curiosity.

This place was a deep mountain, rarely visited by people, almost no one ever came in.

So seeing Xu Yang, they found it quite astonishing.

Today, into the mountains had come an unexpected visitor.
