Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 338 - 337: Sudden Incident, a Monster in the Tent?!

Chapter 338: Chapter 337: Sudden Incident, a Monster in the Tent?!

Snow had started to fall on the glaciers of Kunlun Mountain.

The world around was already a realm of ice and snow, and the sudden snowflakes left everyone somewhat stunned.

The scene was truly beautiful.

The snowflakes were not large and looked somewhat fragmented, but they still added a hazy beauty to the live-stream footage.

Rare Task completed.

Xu Yang received rewards:

Skills: Immune to Altitude Sickness, Fighting Skill

Items: Warm Mountain Boots, Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV

Tools: Barrier Card

The rewards for this Rare Task were indeed plentiful.

At this moment, the live-stream room had exploded.

The entire network was cheering for Xu Yang.

"Brother Yang is unbeatable, he really made it!"

"How low is the temperature there, it looks so cold!"

"He’s too strong, I suggest we study it!"

"Old Xu, have you been practicing some Inner Strength? Can you teach me?"

"Is there a secret manual hidden deep in the mountains?"

The live-stream’s chat was continuously scrolling.

The drone was slightly shaking, and the lens was covered with frost. With not much battery left and the extremely cold region, the drone’s battery was also quickly running out.

The netizens looked along the live-stream footage.

They saw Xu Yang’s eyelashes already coated with a layer of frost.

His face was wrapped in a scarf, while the other parts of him were well-protected.

"It’s getting late, time to head down the mountain."

Xu Yang told the netizens.

Having completed the task and enjoyed the beauty of the glacier, this trip had been very fruitful, and it was time to go back and rest.

He also chipped a piece of glacier ice on the side, putting it in an empty thermos to bring back for people from the geological survey bureau.

Ordinary people couldn’t get to this place.

The survey bureau had to send a professional team, and prepare for half a year before daring to come here.

Who would have thought Xu Yang did it so effortlessly.

It was truly discouraging to compare oneself to others.

However, having come to the glacier, Xu Yang was somewhat curious if there could be anything good around.

He thought about it and used the Treasure Compass.

"Treasure Compass is searching..."

The system indicated.

It searched for a few seconds but did not respond.

This meant that there were no good treasures in this area.

Xu Yang was still wondering if he might find a fossil from hundreds of millions of years ago, but it was just a thought.

Just then, the system suddenly sent an alert.

"Treasure Hunting Task triggered: Return! Glacier!"

"Task Description: Please return to the tent within 4 hours."

"Task Reward: Affinity with Kunlun Mountain Snow Leopards, the snow leopards of the Kunlun Mountain Range will be friendly towards the host."

Seeing this prompt from the system, Xu Yang was slightly startled.

Though he didn’t find any treasure, a Treasure Hunting Task had been triggered.

It really was a pleasant surprise.

Since the task was triggered, Xu Yang didn’t dawdle.

He immediately set off down the mountain, satisfied.

"I need to go back now; the temperature here is extremely low, nearly minus forty degrees."

"I can’t stay here for too long."

"I have to get down the mountain before my body stiffens."

Xu Yang continued down the glacier.

Descending was much more difficult than ascending.

While ascending, he could stabilize his body using a mountain climbing axe, but descending was not so stable.

However, Xu Yang’s Agility Skill was high.

At some slopes, he even sat on the glacier and slid down.

Continuing this way, it didn’t take long for Xu Yang to reach the large slope he had climbed earlier.

The slope was entirely covered in ice, and below was a flat wasteland.

Xu Yang looked down.

"This glacier is too slippery, going down too fast can be dangerous."

"But there are no other paths."

"I can only choose to descend from here."

Xu Yang held the mountain climbing axe in both hands, cautiously sitting at the top of the slope.

Seeing this, the viewers in the live-stream room were shocked again.

"What, Brother Yang, what are you doing? Are you really going to slide down?"

"Gee, that slope is too steep, even advanced ski slopes aren’t that steep!"

"The whole surface is ice; he’s going to speed up a lot."

"Just a little inattention can lead to an accident!"

"I feel like he’s awesome every time I watch, absolutely unbeatable!"

Everyone was right,

the descent was fast, and he might roll far out onto the desert gravel area at the bottom.

It was like jumping off a high-speed moving car.

Injury was certain.

But Xu Yang was confident in himself and with a slight shift forward, he slid down the slope.

"Whoosh!"

His clothes rubbed against the ice, making a smooth noise.

As the speed picked up, Xu Yang immediately turned around, lying on the ice, and then hammered the mountain climbing axe vigorously into the ice layer.

"Zi zi~~~"

With a series of friction sounds, numerous ice crystals splashed up in front of Xu Yang.

Broken pieces of ice continually burst out, forming a mist of ice.

Two deep grooves were clearly visible on the ice layer.

Seeing such a scene, the viewers in the live-stream room were momentarily speechless.

Holy crap!

Isn’t that a move from a TV show?

Like in "Love Apartment" where "Lu Bu vs. Miyamoto Musashi" happens, a weapon is stuck in the wall, and then they slide down it.

Of course, that looks cooler, while Xu Yang lying on the ice doesn’t look as suave.

Even so, it felt incredibly badass.

[So fierce!]

[Wow, he’s really amazing!]

Xu Yang’s live streams these past few days had truly dazzled the viewers.

It was unbelievably strong!

Xu Yang kept his speed constant, not letting it increase too quickly.

When he slid down from the big slope and only a short distance remained, he stowed his climbing axe and turned to sit on his butt, sliding down the glacier.

Finally, he arrived at the bottom of the slope, unscathed yet not without a fright.

Xu Yang stood up, gasped for breath a few times, then brushed the ice shards off his clothes.

He felt his arms were almost out of strength.

That move, while it looked simple, actually consumed a lot of energy.

His energy was nearly depleted.

After resting for a bit, he felt his energy start to return.

Xu Yang hurried to continue on his way.

The rest of the journey proved uneventful.

By the time he saw his tent, it was around six in the evening.

It gets dark late here, so there was still plenty of light.

The number of viewers in the live streaming room was incredibly high.

"We’ve arrived, it’s finally over."

Xu Yang heaved a sigh of relief.

The gift effects in the live streaming room kept coming.

Today’s gift channel had been open the whole time, and it was estimated that the day’s earnings from gifts alone could exceed five hundred thousand.

There were too many big shot viewers watching.

This trip turned out to be quite profitable.

Just when Xu Yang thought the live stream for the day would end, and he was about to say goodbye to the online audience,

right at that moment, he saw his tent move.

"Huh?"

"What’s going on?"

"Is there something in the tent?"

Xu Yang’s expression slightly changed.

Something inside the tent was shaking it, and something bulged out from the tent wall on the inside.

The drone caught this scene.

The viewers became instantly tense.

[Oh my, there’s something in the tent!]

[What is it, could it be a yeti?!]

[I’ve heard there are wild people in the deep mountains...]

[Could it be those who perished have risen?]

People always like to scare themselves.

Some viewers in the live streaming room started to stir things up, making the atmosphere suddenly eerie.

A look of horror appeared in the spectators’ eyes.

They thought it couldn’t actually be a yeti or some dead victim or something like that, right?

It seemed reasonable for the uninhabited depths of the Snow Domain to be haunted.

Xu Yang watched the movement of the tent, his hands gripping his climbing axe, ready to defend himself.

Just then, a large, adorable head of a Kunlun Mountain Snow Leopard poked out from under the tent.

So, it turned out to be this guy, who had sneaked in through a gap under the tent and got trapped inside, causing a commotion.

Now, having found the exit, it stuck its head out.

The man and the leopard looked at each other, locking eyes for a few seconds, the atmosphere growing somewhat awkward.

The viewers’ hearts tightened, then they were completely dumbfounded.

Ah?

A snow leopard in the tent?

At that moment, everyone was a bit stupefied.

The scene was supposed to be dangerous, but since Xu Yang had just completed a task, he now possessed a skill of affinity with the Kunlun Mountain Snow Leopard.

The snow leopard tried to come out but was slightly too chubby and got stuck.

Knowing he had the affinity skill and not feeling afraid, Xu Yang stepped forward and unzipped the tent door.

[Old Xu, what are you doing?]

[Holy smokes, that’s a snow leopard, they’re fierce!]

[This is going to be bad!]

The live streaming audience reacted, hastily warning him.

But it was too late.

Xu Yang opened the tent door, and the snow leopard, sensing the door opening, pulled its head back into the tent.

Then, it jumped straight out of the tent.

It looked at Xu Yang, a curious expression in its eyes.

On one hand, it didn’t see Xu Yang as a threat, and it even felt like approaching him.

On the other hand, the snow leopard hadn’t seen Xu Yang before and was still somewhat wary.

So, it watched Xu Yang’s reactions.

Xu Yang still looked harmless, a hint of kindness in his expression.

"This snow leopard doesn’t seem to be afraid of me."

"It seems quite fond of humans."

Xu Yang started explaining to the live streaming audience.

Hearing his words, the viewers went silent.

Not afraid of you? Shouldn’t you be afraid of it?

Still holding the climbing axe, Xu Yang fortunately dropped it right then.

Seeing this, the audience was stunned.

Ah?

What are you doing?!

Are you going to fire a flare gun next?!

But what happened next completely surprised everyone.

All they saw was Xu Yang motioning with his hand to the snow leopard, and it slowly walked toward him.

It seemed... quite docile?
