Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 337 - 336: The Stunning View on the Glacier!

Chapter 337: Chapter 336: The Stunning View on the Glacier!

Further up, there were glaciers.

You could see the traces of the ice layers covering the mountainside.

The altitude here was already quite high.

It was a zone forbidden to humans.

The destination for the Treasure Hunting Task was on this peak, not the highest one, and for Xu Yang, the difficulty wasn’t too great.

It was merely a matter of spending an extra day.

He began setting up camp beneath the glacier, planning to rest here tonight.

Now, the netizens’ opinions of him had changed somewhat.

Previously, they only thought Xu Yang’s Beast Taming Skill was impressive, and he was adept in the mountains.

Now, they saw him as a human-like boss; some even said he must have practiced Immortal arts.

Xu Yang’s fame had risen very quickly.

He had become the talk of the entire network.

Online, controversy was common; popular top streamers were often quickly mobbed, renamed, or suspended until their traffic decreased before they could resume.

For instance, the top streamers in treasure appraisal and dog training had been reported by interest groups and suspended for a while.

But Xu Yang was different; he didn’t impact others’ interests and was genuinely skilled and had a great personality.

Thus, his popularity had reached the top tier.

"Today, rest at the foot of the mountain, tomorrow, go up to the glacier to see the scenery."

"I’ve seen Changbai Mountain’s snowy mountains and Heavenly Lake before, but I’ve never been to Kunlun Mountain’s glaciers."

"Seeing it once would make this trip worthwhile."

Xu Yang told the netizens.

"The scenery of the glacier is indeed worth seeing."

Xu Yang found a sheltered spot, set up his tent, and chatted with netizens.

People from all over the country were watching his livestream, and his popularity had been top for the past few days.

His reputation was now firmly established.

Inside the Kunlun Geology Survey Bureau, people watching Xu Yang’s actions couldn’t help but feel impressed.

What a great prospect for geological surveys!

To know, at such high altitudes, it was really difficult for ordinary people to ascend, even geology survey members had to endure severe altitude sickness.

After all, with the thin air and low temperatures, ordinary people coming here would feel dizzy and were especially prone to accidents.

Brain oxygen depletion could result in the loss of the ability to think.

Only their professionals knew how strong Xu Yang really was.

He looked as if nothing was wrong with him!

It was outrageous!

With this in mind, the Kunlun Geology Bureau even specifically asked for Xu Yang’s phone number.

They hoped Xu Yang could bring some glacier ice back for research.

It could be kept in a sealed container, even if it melted into water.

After all, this was a rare research material.

Xu Yang, still livestreaming, was somewhat surprised when he received the call.

"I do have a sealed container, and it’s okay if it melts, right?"

"Sure, there’s no problem with that."

"Supporting geological survey work."

Xu Yang readily agreed.

He had a thermos with good insulation; he’d just pour out the water and put some ice cubes in.

Then hand it over to the survey bureau; no big deal.

The people at the Kunlun Geology Survey Bureau were very pleased and promised to send Xu Yang some souvenirs.

And so, the matter was settled.

"Tomorrow’s climb will basically take a day to go back and forth."

"I won’t stay up there too long."

"The air here is very thin; I can feel a bit of shortness of breath, but it’s not too big of an impact."

"Hope everything goes smoothly."

Xu Yang finally told the netizens in the livestream.

Then, the screen was filled with messages of "Everything goes smoothly."

Countless netizens sent their blessings.

These were heartfelt blessings.

Everyone really hoped he would successfully summit.

Then, Xu Yang turned off the livestream and went into the tent to rest.

His sleeping bag was warm, and his clothes were warm, so he slept reasonably well.

Until the next morning.

In the morning, Xu Yang prepared a full set of climbing gear, wore professional climbing boots, goggles, wrapped himself tightly, and then, taking his mountain climbing axe, began climbing up the glacier.

There was a steep slope of about 40 to 50 degrees ahead.

If it were a normal day, such a slope would be manageable.

But at this moment, the slope was completely covered with ice.

The ice, having frozen here for who knows how long, had already become one with the mountain range.

That was the glacier.

Xu Yang did not speak a word, just held his ice axes and started to climb up bit by bit.

At this moment, many people online saw the trending news and immediately clicked on it to enter Xu Yang’s livestream.

And then, they saw a scene that blew their minds.

All they saw was a black-clad human on a frozen slope, using ice axes and climbing boots attached to the glacier, climbing up step by step.

An aerial drone shot the scene from above.

The angle of the slope looked even steeper.

This scene, it even looked like Spiderman clinging to the glass of a skyscraper.

Elegant and shocking.

A hint of astonishment appeared in the viewers’ eyes.

Without any safety measures, a person was climbing a high-altitude glacier.

Was he really that skilled?

"God, Brother Yang is too awesome! Totally admire him!"

"I’d feel inferior myself!"

"Seeing this makes my legs go weak!"

"This man is terrifyingly strong!"

"Why is he so strong!"

Now everyone’s opinion of Xu Yang can be summed up in one word: strong.

Some even call him a god.

Just then, a huge bird swooped overhead.

Netizens gasped in awe.

Xu Yang looked up and saw a golden eagle flying above the glacier, resting on its surface.

"It’s a golden eagle!"

"A golden eagle seen from such close quarters!"

Xu Yang hadn’t been speaking this far into the journey, but now that he saw the golden eagle, he couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

The golden eagle was right above him, its feathers mainly brown but with a ring of gold feathers around its neck.

When the golden eagle flew through the sky, its neck reflected a golden light.

That’s why it was called a golden eagle.

Glacier, snow mountain, humans, golden eagle.

These elements composed a stunningly breathtaking scene.

It was as if the golden eagle had come to celebrate Xu Yang’s imminent summit achievement.

In reality, this was the golden eagle’s habitat; it was merely curious why another creature had managed to climb here.

Apart from birds, no other animals ever set foot here.

Animals like snow leopards or mountain goats wouldn’t climb onto the glacier.

The golden eagle flapped its wings a few times.

It had a very long wingspan and looked majestic.

[Trigger Treasure Hunting Task: Snap a Photo! The Golden Eagle on the Glacier!]

[Task Description: Please take a photo with the golden eagle!]

[Task Reward: Golden Feather*1]

At that moment, the system suddenly triggered a treasure hunting task.

The reward was a golden feather, which wasn’t too shabby.

Xu Yang quickly took out his phone and snapped a selfie with the golden eagle.

Seeing this, netizens were even more stunned.

Xu Yang’s actions were truly impressive.

He made it look so easy!

Once the task was completed, the golden eagle immediately flew away.

It circled in the sky, still curious and inspecting Xu Yang.

It still couldn’t understand how Xu Yang had managed to get there.

Xu Yang continued to climb.

With each thrust of his ice axe, bits of ice splintered and flew.

Feeling secure, Xu Yang kept climbing up.

Climbing the glacier was not simple, requiring both strength and agility.

Many professional climbers wouldn’t dare to ascend such glaciers.

A slight lapse in concentration could lead to a slide down the glacier.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept through.

Xu Yang’s figure was pushed sideways by the wind, and he immediately planted his ice axe into the glacier to stabilize himself.

At that moment, netizens covered their mouths in terror, eyes wide, not daring to make a sound.

The scene was quite frightening.

Xu Yang remained steady throughout.

It wasn’t long before he climbed up the steep slope and looked back at the path he had taken, only then realizing how far he had come.

[Brother Yang rocks!]

[Big boss!]

[Keep it up!]

[So awesome!]

Chatroom messages streamed wildly.

Numerous people cheered him on.

But Xu Yang didn’t have much time to look at his phone at this moment.

He simply said, "Going down should be easy with a slide, shouldn’t be a big issue," then continued upwards.

Above was the world of glaciers.

The mountain had reached its highest point, topped with a layer of ice frozen for who knows how many years.

Maybe a few million, possibly hundreds of millions.

Frozen just like that.

Xu Yang moved further, entering completely into the world of ice and snow.

The ground was formed of layers of ice.

He could only walk on the ice.

Huge blocks of blue ice flanked both sides, resembling the color of the ocean.

The live stream seemed a bit dreamy for a moment.

[This place is so beautiful!]

[My God, is this the summit of Kunlun Mountain? All glaciers!]

[So dreamy, all ice!]

Just then, another gust of wind blew, carrying a flurry of snowflakes with it.

Xu Yang continued forward.

He was near the destination.

All that was left was to climb up from this glacier.

This rare task was quite challenging, but Xu Yang had many skills that made it not too big a problem for him.

The scenery in the live stream was beautiful.

The whole network was immersed in it.

Netizens meticulously examined every detail of the glacier, afraid to miss any shot.

Some had wondered if immortals lived on the summit of the snowy mountain, but now they could see it crystal clear.

There was only endless ice and snow.

A silent journey.

After another grueling hour, Xu Yang finally reached his destination.

He chose to complete the task.

Suddenly, the sky darkened a little, followed by numerous snowflakes beginning to fall.

It was snowing on the summit of the snow mountain.

At the same time, Xu Yang also received a system notification:

[Rare Task Completed.]
