Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 315 - 314: Black Bear? Huh? It Changed Color?

Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Black Bear? Huh? It Changed Color?

The white bear left everyone gaping in astonishment.

"This is Hubei, right?"

"Why is there a polar bear here?"

Xu Yang saw clearly that this was an albino black bear.

It must be said, this primordial forest is somewhat magical, with a relatively high number of albino animals compared to other places.

Of course, even so, albino animals are still rarely seen, and Xu Yang wouldn’t have found it so easily without the Treasure Compass.

[Wtf? Am I seeing things?]

[No, is that a polar bear?]

[What’s going on? What is that?]

[Wtf! Everyone sees it, right? I thought I was hallucinating from working too much!]

The live chat exploded.

At this moment, the white bear was leisurely leaning against a big tree, its feet sprawling on the ground, resting listlessly.

It seemed to have just eaten and was enjoying the leisurely afternoon.

Not far away was a river; it had just trundled over from there.

This fellow was a purebred black bear.

It looked a bit silly.

That’s also normal as albino black bears are often ostracized when young.

Its color different from other bears makes it an easy target for bullying among bear cubs.

Growing up in such an environment, it either becomes very fierce or timid and cautious.

This albino black bear obviously was the latter.

"So cute, I want to keep it."

"But I already have two black bears on my mountain, and transporting wild animals is completely illegal, so I can’t keep it."

Xu Yang pondered internally, only to sigh in resignation.

Then, he explained to the netizens:

"This is a black bear, an albino black bear."

"There used to be a joke, not sure if it’s true, about an albino black bear being mistaken by animal welfare organizations as a polar bear and sent to the Arctic."

"That’s this guy."

"A polar bear standing up would be much taller than a person, easily embracing someone. This guy, standing up, is about the same height as a person, or even shorter."

"So, it’s definitely not a polar bear."

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s explanation, everyone finally understood.

But the scene still looked ridiculous.

In the lush green bushes, a white bear rested.

It was as if it hadn’t been colored in yet.

Really strange.

The white sika deer earlier had an ethereal aura, appearing like an Immortal Beast.

This white bear didn’t seem quite so celestial, rather, it was a bit discordant.

[Black bear? Huh? Did it lose its color?]

[No, pure black animals can be albino too!]

[So rare, suggest protecting it!]

[Wow, today has been educational!]

Xu Yang stroked his chin, thinking about how he could take a selfie with the albino black bear.

The difficulty was quite high.

The only method was the "feeding method."

So, Xu Yang took out a long loaf of bread from his backpack, opened the packaging, ate a small half, then walked towards the white bear.

"Hey!"

Xu Yang called out when he was about ten meters from the white bear.

Upon hearing his shout, the white bear instantly became alert, and seeing Xu Yang, it frightenedly scrambled up a nearby tree.

It climbed just a little bit, then stayed on the tree trunk, staring at Xu Yang.

This world is too crazy.

People used to say to climb a tree when you see a bear.

Now, it’s reversed.

The bear climbs a tree when it sees people!

Netizens: It seems wrong, but also somehow makes sense.

Seeing it, Xu Yang also stepped back.

He was still afraid of the white bear.

After all, it was a wild beast.

But for the sake of a photo, he had to try.

Xu Yang threw the bread directly in front of the white bear.

It looked at the bread, then at Xu Yang.

As if to say: "For me?"

Xu Yang just stood still, smiling.

With all his years of experience living in the mountains, he knew how to communicate with animals.

With more timid animals, stay calm, show friendliness, don’t scare them.

Definitely don’t shout.

The white bear looked at Xu Yang for a while, gradually calming down.

It wanted to walk away, but seeing the bread, it couldn’t suppress its curiosity.

Carefully, the white bear approached the bread.

Xu Yang calculated the perfect selfie distance, and the position of the bread was just right.

Meaning, once the white bear approached the bread, he could just press the selfie button.

Just as the white bear reached the bread, sniffed it then bit into it, Xu Yang pressed the selfie button.

Mission accomplished.

However, the white bear didn’t linger; it took the bread in its mouth and ran off like it was flying.

It ran very fast, its chubby body surprisingly agile.

The netizens had expected to see a friendly interaction between Xu Yang and the white bear, but the bear just ran off.

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

[Hahahaha, this guy is so cunning!]

[Huh? It just ran off? Won’t let Old Xu touch it?]

"I’ve never seen a bear run this fast!"

"It seems so cheerful!"

"Too funny, hahaha!"

Xu Yang couldn’t help laughing when he saw the white bear.

He noticed the bear seemed to be hopping along joyfully after it had ran off a distance.

This white bear must have been secretly pleased with itself, applauding its own cleverness.

Xu Yang thought that was just fine.

He also knew that trust wasn’t easily built, so if the task was completed, he was satisfied.

"It’s so fast!"

Xu Yang watched the retreating figure of the white bear and sighed with a smile.

At this moment, the white bear was indeed pleased; the bread was delicious, both sweet and soft.

It thought it had "stolen" the food from Xu Yang, so it was quite self-satisfied with its actions.

Xu Yang didn’t pay any more attention to the white bear, his eyes turned towards the mountain peak.

The sun was just right at noon.

"This place is really magical."

"Today’s goal, to climb to the summit of this mountain, then go back down!"

"That would count as completing the challenge!"

Xu Yang pointed to the summit and spoke.

He wasn’t far from the peak now.

At this moment, he didn’t seem like a Mountain Rushing broadcaster who gathers mountain goods, rather he became a pure tourist.

Of course, if he occasionally stumbled upon some rare herbs, Xu Yang would still explain a few things.

Then, Xu Yang sped up and began climbing.

This time was purely for climbing.

His speed was very fast.

He didn’t stop at all.

Viewers saw him continuously climbing up, each step full of power.

Everyone grew more and more admiring.

"This stamina is incredible, so fierce!"

"If he was in the era of Luotuo Xiangzi, he could have definitely earned his own rickshaw!"

"Wasting talent not running marathons!"

"It’s so nice watching someone else exercise!"

The air in the forest was good, very rich in oxygen.

Taking deep breaths, one could feel their body getting invigorated, feeling particularly excited.

Just like that, upward he went, and two hours later, Xu Yang reached the peak.

He stood high up, overlooking the scenery below.

All he saw was lush greenery.

The view from the peak was expansive.

Having seen a lot, Xu Yang wasn’t particularly impressed.

He just rested briefly, drank some water, ate some chocolate and beef jerky, then continued descending.

On the way, Xu Yang did a second Treasure Hunting Task, which required him to find three different kinds of herbs, and the reward was a small Shennong Ding, suitable as an ornament.

The task wasn’t difficult for Xu Yang, and he quickly found the three herbs and completed it.

However, when he saw the reward, he was slightly stunned.

The so-called "small Shennong Ding" was about 1.2 meters tall, too large for even two adults to wrap their arms around.

"Small"?

How big would a large Shennong Ding be?

Xu Yang didn’t take the ding out for now.

Later, when he returned to his yard, he could set it up as a decorative piece.

A treasure for the courtyard, not bad at all.

With four more chances to treasure hunt, Xu Yang didn’t choose another task but decided to keep treasure hunting.

He found rare plants and animals, but no valuable treasures.

That was normal though.

Not every mountain has valuable goods.

Seeing some animals and plants was worth the trip.

Once he descended the mountain, the live streaming ended.

The internet buzzed again.

His streams always drew a lot of views, and subsequent video clips were plentiful.

His content was increasingly recognized by more people.

The next day, Xu Yang started getting busy with selling the agarwood.

Because the items were quite valuable, Xu Yang was very cautious.

He compared prices from Northeast to Hubei, and even planned to check Guangdong, asking about prices.

Comparing over a dozen places, he got a rough idea of the pricing.

This kind of thing can’t be rushed.

Finally, the owner of the Ancient Fragrance Store was quite bold, offering 1 million to buy the rare box of Insect Buried Incense.

The transaction was done in person, both parties confirming everything was in order.

When the deal was sealed, Xu Yang still found it a bit unbelievable.

It was successful.

The stuff within that tree stump was incredibly valuable.

As Xu Yang’s financial situation improved, he was also exposed to the upper echelons of society.

The extent of some wealthy people’s wealth was beyond imagination.

But he always had a good mentality; as long as he lived comfortably, that was enough.

Having money again, he could plan on building a farm and a forest.

And since he kept so many animals, he felt no pressure at all.

It was purely out of personal preference.

Thus, Xu Yang contentedly flew back to the city, made his way to the farm, completing his journey.

A trip out required at least a month’s rest.

After all, there were many things to handle.

Moreover, the system rewarded a White Crow which would appear in the forest, and Xu Yang needed to go claim it.

His farm now had another "Divine Beast."

Crows are smart, and keeping one was quite interesting.
