Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 339 - 338 Everyone saw it, it was the snow leopard that approached on its own!

Chapter 339: Chapter 338 Everyone saw it, it was the snow leopard that approached on its own!

Kunlun Mountain, high altitude area, wilderness.

The leopard emerged from the tent, eyes locked tightly on Xu Yang.

Viewers in the live stream thought an intense battle was unavoidable.

Even Xu Yang might get hurt.

The next second, the leopard trotted toward Xu Yang.

[The leopard is moving!]

[It’s over, the host is doomed!]

[The leopard is going to hunt Old Xu!]

The viewers gasped in astonishment.

But what happened next was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Upon nearing Xu Yang, the leopard simply plopped down,

exposing its belly and tilting its head to look at Xu Yang.

Was it...acting cute?

Huh?

What’s going on?

The audience was a bit dumbfounded.

The scene before them was completely inexplicable.

Is this a leopard?

Xu Yang looked at the leopard and said,

"This leopard isn’t afraid of me, it’s actually quite affectionate toward me!"

"What’s the situation?"

Xu Yang took a couple of steps forward.

He approached the leopard, reached out, and gently touched the leopard’s belly.

The leopard still looked silly.

Viewers were dumbstruck.

This was even more surprising than Xu Yang climbing the glacier.

The Snow Mountain King, a leopard, acting cute in front of a human?

Is that even reasonable?

It’s completely unreasonable!

[OMG, is this leopard acting cute? It’s acting just like my cat!]

[I’m utterly shocked!]

[When I saw the leopard rush out of the tent, I thought Old Xu was done for, but then this?]

[Did it recognize Xu Yang as a big shot?]

[No, what’s happening? Does he keep leopards now? Should we report this?]

The chat burst into activity.

Xu Yang touched the leopard and, curious about what the viewers were thinking, took out his phone to check the comments.

Seeing everyone still talking about reporting, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh and explain,

"As you all saw, the leopard came to me on its own."

"I’m not familiar with it."

He had explained this many times before.

He had to say the same for the leopard, the black kite, and now for this leopard.

The viewers felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint what.

Because the leopard truly did approach on its own.

This was utterly unbelievable.

This leopard before them was too cute, chubby, with its spots more scattered and not as dense as those of a leopard.

And the leopard’s tail was especially long, fluffy, and looked incredibly beautiful.

As Xu Yang touched the leopard’s belly, astonished, he didn’t forget to impart some knowledge,

"This leopard has very thick fur. I’m touching its belly now and can feel that its fur is extremely thick and super soft to the touch."

Then, Xu Yang pinched the leopard’s paw and shook it on the live stream,

"Look at its feet, they’re large and wide, and all covered in fur. This disperses the pressure when they step on the snow and keeps them warm, so they don’t freeze their feet moving in the snow."

Next, Xu Yang lifted the leopard’s long tail and shook it,

"And its tail, almost as long as its body and also covered in thick fur. A tail like this helps it maintain balance while running on the plateau."

Finally, Xu Yang summed up,

"There aren’t many animals on the plateau, this guy is the absolute king."

"The Snow Mountain King."

The viewers watched him touch this and that, their eyes filled with envy.

[No way, the leopard just lets him touch it?]

[Leopard, bite him!]

[I’m so envious, Old Xu is too awesome!]

[So cute, I want to touch it too!]

Everyone was marveling.

They could only watch such a scene.

Just then, the drone’s battery was depleted, and a warning sounded.

After receiving the alert, Xu Yang informed the viewers about it and then ended the day’s exciting live stream.

The final image was a selfie of Xu Yang and the leopard.

The day’s experience was truly thrilling.

The most authentic glacier exploration, the only person on the internet to climb Death Valley alone.

At that moment, Xu Yang was undoubtedly seen as a legend by everyone!

His video was clipped by many people and began circulating online; it was even visible on foreign networks.

Foreign networks called him "Huaxia’s strongest outdoor adventure expert," a title Xu Yang didn’t even know he had.

I just manage a farm and occasionally go out for a stroll, how did I become an adventure expert?

After the live stream ended, Xu Yang was even more relaxed.

Knowing the leopard bore no ill will toward him, he confidently continued petting the leopard.

The animal felt so good to the touch, much softer than Xiao Hua’s fur.

Its tail was also softer.

And its head too.

Touching it felt like touching a very warm, finely dense, thick furry blanket, indescribably smooth.

It was, after all, the Snow Mountain King, its body so robust.

Touching it was extremely comforting.

The leopard clearly enjoyed all the attention.

After all, the snow mountain was so high, so vast, it was a bit lonely and cold.

Xu Yang was a pro at petting cats.

He was truly a professional.

Since his childhood, he had been petting leopards and knew exactly how to do it.

Even the Northeast Tiger enjoyed Xu Yang’s massages.

Xu Yang started to massage the snow leopard, rubbing its neck, stroking its belly, and scratching the fur on its back.

The snow leopard closed its eyes, displaying an expression of pure enjoyment.

This guy really knew how to enjoy himself.

At first glance, the snow leopard seemed aloof, but once familiar, it turned into a simpleton.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

He also enjoyed this moment.

This guy was indeed adorable, and Xu Yang’s obsession with petting a snow leopard was successfully realized at that moment.

At night, Xu Yang went back to his tent to rest.

Seeing him go in, the snow leopard followed and then lay down on the floor of the tent, wrapping itself with its tail, apparently planning to sleep there.

The temperature here was quite low, but the tent was sheltered from the wind, so it was warm inside.

Xu Yang, looking at it like that, felt assured about it being in the tent.

Xu Yang unzipped his sleeping bag, crawled inside, and fell asleep.

The sleeping bag was thick, so even if any animal bit him, it would awaken Xu Yang immediately.

So, it was quite safe.

He was very tired that day and soon fell asleep.

The next day.

As soon as Xu Yang woke up, he felt something heavy on his chest.

It was as if something was pressing down on him.

This feeling was very familiar.

It was just like when the leopard used to sleep with him, pressing on his chest.

These leopards all acted the same.

Xu Yang unzipped the sleeping bag and sure enough, the snow leopard was lying on top of it, using him as a pillow.

"You guy, don’t you have any idea how much you weigh?" Xu Yang sat up from the sleeping bag and couldn’t help but laugh as he spoke.

The snow leopard looked at him with an innocent, clear-eyed gaze.

Leopards, once familiar with people, always seemed to act this way.

"Why are you so have-live-and-kicky, just like the one I have at home?" Xu Yang couldn’t help commenting as the snow leopard looked more and more like Xiao Hua to him.

Hearing his words, the snow leopard looked bewildered.

It didn’t understand what Xu Yang meant.

Of course, it wouldn’t understand, because that leopard was still in Changbai Mountain taking care of its cubs, and even thinking of handing over the cubs to Xu Yang so it could go out and play.

The snow leopard did indeed resemble Xiao Hua, its clueless and simplistic expression was all too familiar.

Xu Yang played with it for a while, then started packing up, preparing to descend the mountain.

It was time to go back.

There was no more food or drink.

If they didn’t return soon, they would be left to embrace the cold winds of Kunlun Mountain.

He hadn’t planned on surviving outdoors; once the food was gone, it was time to go back, prioritizing comfort and safety.

After packing up, Xu Yang stroked the snow leopard once more, even kissing its big head, then turned and walked away.

The snow leopard didn’t follow him.

Leopards are solitary animals, not clingy.

This snow leopard merely felt close to Xu Yang and wanted to play with him for a while before returning to its own life.

It preferred to be active alone.

Of course, Xiao Hua was an exception; that leopard was not to be understood by normal standards.

From a young age, it knew to stick with Xu Yang, looking for a good placement.

It was no ordinary leopard.

The snow leopard watched as Xu Yang walked away, and when Xu Yang turned back to look, he could still vaguely see its figure.

This leopard was destined to be remembered by Xu Yang.

It was also the only snow leopard he had encountered in Kunlun Mountain.

The journey from here on was a bit dull.

The drone had charged up a bit in the sun, but Xu Yang did not resume streaming.

He just kept walking toward the exit.

Down from the highlands.

Out of the valley, onto the flat grasslands.

He saw flocks of yaks and Tibetan antelopes running across the grasslands.

Two days later, he finally appeared outside of Death Valley.

Unexpectedly, there were already many people waiting for him there.

There were about forty or fifty people, with many off-road vehicles parked nearby.

Several people even held up their phones, seemingly live-streaming.

Seeing Xu Yang emerge, they excitedly shouted, "He’s out, he’s out!" and then ran towards him.

Nowadays, everyone was live-streaming, and many streamers, in a bid for popularity, latched onto any source of traffic.

In these past few days, Xu Yang was really popular, the number of people watching his streams was huge.

After all, the things he had accomplished, nobody else could do.

In the last two days since Xu Yang hadn’t streamed, many internet celebrities had found this opportunity to come here and broadcast.

"This is the entrance to Kunlun Mountain, we’ve been waiting here for Brother Yang to return."

These streamers kept repeating these few lines every day in their broadcasts.

Oddly enough, the viewership was quite high; previously, broadcasts that only had about a dozen viewers spiked to three or four thousand, with just those few lines.

Of course, it was all to see Xu Yang.

Besides these broadcasters, some people were fans.

These fans were from outdoor clubs in the Kunlun area, the kind that take off-road vehicles out into the wilderness for fun.

They particularly liked Xu Yang, so they came here to welcome him.

These last two days Xu Yang had not appeared, and some people thought he wouldn’t make it out.

There were some discussions online.

But when Xu Yang, with his backpack, appeared from the depths of Death Valley, everyone erupted.

Xu Yang, seeing so many people and still slightly disoriented, smiled politely at everyone and planned to call a cab to head back to town.

He couldn’t help it; he was really hungry!

He hadn’t eaten anything today.

He needed to get back quickly and go have a meal at Haidilao.
