Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 336 - 335: Strange, why do I feel like I’m being watched by something?!

Chapter 336: Chapter 335: Strange, why do I feel like I’m being watched by something?!

Only to see on the cliff above, a large grey leopard was lurking behind a rock, watching the ibex with an intense gaze.

It was waiting for an opportunity.

This guy had such high-valued looks and appeared very cute.

Even better looking than a leopard by a notch.

At this moment, Xu Yang was fully focused on climbing the slope, completely unaware of the situation above him, and had no time to look at the live chat.

So, he had no idea what was waiting for him above.

The snow leopard observed from high ground, and now, it noticed Xu Yang too.

Having never seen humans before, the snow leopard immediately became alert.

It positioned itself to attack.

The snow leopard might look adorable, but after all, it was a bona fide leopard and the king of the highlands.

This guy’s strength was not to be underestimated.

[Old Xu, there’s a snow leopard, it’s crouching for you!]

[It’s set its sights on you, be careful!]

[It’s over, it looks like the snow leopard is ambushing the streamer!]

[Oh my, I can’t bear to watch this!]

The viewers’ eyes widened with fright, unable to stand the idea of what might happen next.

Xu Yang was still climbing the steep slope with difficulty.

It wasn’t easy to climb such a steep slope without physical strength.

Each step required a certain amount of force.

At this time, the snow leopard’s attention was already fixed on Xu Yang.

This was an unpopulated area deep in the Kunlun Mountains, vast and empty.

Anything could happen.

And just then, Xu Yang suddenly felt his heartbeat quickening and his body tensing up involuntarily.

"Danger Perception, what’s going on?"

Xu Yang was startled.

He couldn’t help but say,

"Strange, why do I feel like something is targeting me?"

"Could it be that these ibex next to me want to ram me to death?"

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, the viewers were even more frightened into silence.

[Old Xu, it’s a leopard!]

[Right above your head!]

Everyone continued to warn him.

But Xu Yang’s current position didn’t allow him to look at his phone, so he couldn’t see the live chat.

He carefully surveyed his surroundings but found no abnormalities.

Yet his heartbeat maintained a rather fast pace.

Something was targeting him!

Xu Yang became alert immediately, looking up to see that he was only seven or eight meters away from the top of the steep slope.

The danger was most likely coming from there.

Xu Yang took a baton out from the side of his backpack.

He didn’t want to use a knife unless absolutely necessary.

He would first try with the baton, Xu Yang kept climbing forward, vaguely seeing something above watching him.

He was in a dilemma.

He had already climbed quite high on the steep slope, unable to go back down, he could only move upwards.

But something above was watching him.

After a bit of thought, Xu Yang still chose to climb upwards.

After climbing a few meters, he first took off his backpack and tossed it up.

The viewers held their breath in terror.

The snow leopard had already crept forward, preparing for the hunt.

This snow leopard truly saw Xu Yang as its prey.

The scene was truly shocking, and the number of viewers in the live stream increased more and more.

Standing on the steep slope, Xu Yang finally noticed the snow leopard.

His expression slightly changed.

"Snow leopard!"

"It’s targeting me!"

Xu Yang’s expression turned stern.

He had a Good Person Card on him, but using it here would be somewhat wasteful.

He stayed on the cliff face, not climbing upwards for the moment.

He could see that the snow leopard was waiting for him to come up.

Since the slope was extremely steep, if the snow leopard pounced, it would surely fall down together with Xu Yang.

It was avoiding getting hurt itself.

[Old Xu has spotted the snow leopard!]

[But what can he do now? As soon as he climbs up, the snow leopard will pounce!]

[With such a steep slope, he can’t go down, especially after throwing his backpack up!]

[It’s over, it’s really over now!]

Many pessimistic viewers were again shouting "It’s over".

Little did they know, Xu Yang came to such a place fully prepared.

You could see Xu Yang put away the baton and slowly searched inside his climbing suit.

Then, to the surprise of the viewers in the live stream, he fished out a gun.

Huh?

The viewers were stunned.

Oh my, a gun?

This gun was not a pistol but similar to a starter’s pistol, a gunpowder gun that could only produce sound and had no lethality.

Xu Yang carried it with him to drive away wild animals.

It was the best method.

You could see Xu Yang load the powder, raise the gun towards the sky, and suddenly pull the trigger.

"Bang!"

A loud noise sounded, accompanied by a puff of white smoke.

This thunderous blast startled the snow leopard which immediately turned and ran.

Even the ibex on the cliff ran towards the distant edges, with one almost falling off.

In that instant, Xu Yang sped up and climbed to the top of the slope.

As long as he made it up, everything would be easier to handle.

[Damn! Old Xu is carrying the truth with him!]

[Good Lord, that’s so smart!]

[Hahaha, he had that trick up his sleeve?]

[The snow leopard got a real scare!]

The live chat went wild with comments.

Xu Yang’s actions clearly took everyone by surprise.

"Gunpowder from a firearm can produce sound."

"Both fire and sound are ways to drive off wild animals, especially sensitive creatures like the snow leopard."

"Hopefully it knows its limits and won’t come back,"

Xu Yang said.

Xu Yang had wanted to see the snow leopard, not expecting to become the leopard’s prey.

It was quite dangerous just now, and it made him break out in a cold sweat.

The snow leopard ran far away, observing Xu Yang from across a hillside.

This was an adult snow leopard with a fierce nature.

Xu Yang was observing it as well.

Snow leopards are rare to see.

Even in zoos, they are seldom seen.

Because snow leopards have particularly weak immune systems, they easily catch diseases and die at low altitudes.

Having lived on the plateau for so many years, it had adapted to the environment here.

"That fellow had its eye on me just now; it was quite scary."

"Who would have thought that just after mentioning wanting to see a snow leopard, one would appear?"

Xu Yang fixed his gaze on the snow leopard from a distance, explaining to his viewers.

The situation had been truly dangerous, and had the snow leopard pounced, the outcome could have been grim.

[Brother Yang, you’re so badass, not afraid at all!]

[Such a tough guy!]

[That blogger who went to Ailao Mountain last time said the same thing—if he encountered a Black Bear, he would have no choice but to kill it, and he said it so calmly!]

[Those who dare to venture deep into the mountains are all tough; you don’t need to worry about them!]

The crisis was not yet over.

Xu Yang continued to watch the snow leopard calmly, without making another move.

Finally, the snow leopard sensed that Xu Yang was not to be trifled with and turned to run away.

Only after watching the snow leopard disappear did Xu Yang shoulder his pack and continue trekking up the mountain.

He still had to keep Rushing the Mountain.

The viewers, seeing that he didn’t retreat at all, admired him even more.

He’s truly a master of the mountains!

About two hours later, a huge lake appeared in front of him.

This lake was exceptionally beautiful, like a vast silver mirror lying in the mountains, very clear.

"There’s a lake; let’s rest here."

"See if I can catch a fish."

"Need to replenish some food."

A hint of joy appeared in Xu Yang’s eyes.

He walked all the way to the lake, set down his backpack, and started checking out the lake’s environment.

The drone flew up high, capturing the scene from above.

The valley deep within Kunlun Mountain, the beautiful lake, Xu Yang strolling by the lakeside.

The scene was very beautiful.

[Such a clear lake!]

[The uninhabited areas in the west are vast, with many such sights, most of which most people never see.]

[We rely on Brother Yang!]

[I respect this host!]

Xu Yang’s fan base grew larger.

At this moment, Leo, Xu Yang made a new discovery.

He saw several large fish by the lake, eating water plants in the shallows.

The deep parts of the lake had little vegetation, so fish came to the shallows to look for food.

This made it convenient for Xu Yang.

"There really are fish!"

"Lucky me!"

Xu Yang said happily.

The viewers, seeing this, were a bit puzzled.

There were fish, but how would he catch them?

Did he have a fishing rod or a net?

Xu Yang didn’t have the extra space to bring these items.

[How is he planning to catch fish? By bare hands? Or with a fork?]

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

This was everyone’s question.

How to catch the fish?

But Xu Yang had his ways, and the viewers saw him pick up a flat stone from the riverbank, about as wide as a soccer ball and irregular in shape.

Then, under the astonished eyes of the viewers, Xu Yang charged forward, stone in hand.

He then smashed the stone hard into the water.

"Splash!"

Water sprayed everywhere for a moment.

By the time everyone looked again, the big fish had floated up to the surface of the lake.

The viewers felt the corners of their mouths twitching.

No way, that worked?

[Huh? I’m stupefied!]

[The fishing man is crying tears of envy!]

[That’s too fierce!]

[Did he really hit it?]

Xu Yang picked up a long branch and pulled the fish to the shore.

Then he went to gather dry branches from the surrounding forest.

Today’s luck wasn’t bad, grilled fish it was.

Although a bit rough and ready, in such an environment, there wasn’t much room for fussiness—as long as it was nourishing, it was good.

Xu Yang used to go into the mountains often as a child, and back then, he was as untamed as a little leopard cub.

He would get up to all sorts of mischief in the mountains.

So, grilling fish was second nature to Xu Yang.

For a while, Xu Yang even reminisced about his childhood.

"Lucky break, I was just saying we were a bit short on food."

"We’ll have grilled fish for lunch."

"This fish is quite big; it won’t cook through if grilled whole."

"I’ll need to cut the fish into pieces, shave the bark off some branches, skewer the fish meat, and then roast it in the fire."

"That tastes really good."

Xu Yang was busy bustling about.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast relaxed a little.

Watching this scene, everyone felt the live stream was even more exciting.
