Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 351 - 350: Old Xu, Where Are You Now?!

Chapter 351: Chapter 350: Old Xu, Where Are You Now?!

Xu Yang spent the night in a dilapidated wooden hut deep in the grasslands.

Little Wolf lay inside the house.

And I must say, it was quite warm at night.

The biggest characteristic here is the strong wind, but if you find a spot out of the wind, there’s absolutely no problem.

The next day, Xu Yang continued to wander through the forest, pulling out his map to decide where the animals might appear.

"If we go deeper, there should be moose, which are first-level protected animals."

"I’ve always heard that moose are massive, and to see them with my own eyes makes the trip worthwhile."

Xu Yang planned to delve deeper.

The live stream was up and running as usual, and the viewer count quickly began to rise.

A man and a wolf, in the pure gold wilderness.

Xu Yang seemed to have stepped into an adventure game, within a golden-hued map replica.

His live stream was truly stunning.

And although Xu Yang occasionally provided educative commentary, he spoke far less than other streamers, which endowed him with a masterly aura.

"I’m now in a very deep part of the area," he said to his audience.

"This place is rarely trodden by humans, and the woods are full of wild animals, a real animal paradise."

"So we have to be extra careful."

Xu Yang occasionally looked around, assessing his surroundings.

He was quite lucky today, as he came across a shallow pool ahead, where a large gathering of swans were preparing to migrate south.

During this time, Xu Yang also spotted several Black Storks and Red-crowned Cranes.

He had already photographed the Red-crowned Cranes, while the Black Stork, being a first-level protected animal, earned him 5 points, and the swans, being second-level protected animals, brought him 3 points.

Eight points in one go brought Xu Yang’s total to 29 points.

How efficient indeed.

"These birds haven’t migrated yet; normally, by mid-September, the migratory birds begin their journey south."

"It seems the weather is warmer this year."

Xu Yang, looking at the birds on the shallow pool, happily narrated.

Migratory birds typically live in the undeveloped edges of wetlands and marshes, mainly in places like Jiangtang, the Northeast, and Inner Mongolia.

On ordinary days, they are hard to see.

The observers felt comforted seeing the aquatic birds thrive.

After all, it’s rare nowadays to see areas where wild animals live undisturbed, as most places have been taken over by humans, and we almost forget that these animals are also residents of the Earth.

A man and a wolf stood in the distance, gazing far afield.

The wind was a bit strong, blowing incessantly, and Little Wolf’s fur was a bit disheveled, but it didn’t bother him; on the contrary, it made him look even more dashing.

At that moment, the few Black Storks all took flight at once, heading straight south.

The swans also began to gather their friends, seemingly ready to take off.

The scene on the water was suddenly lively.

It’s better to be timely than early.

The swans seemed to be waiting just for Xu Yang, who had just arrived and they began to perform a "Swan Lake" dance just for him.

"They’re about to fly!"

"Quite the coincidence!"

"I happened to catch it just in time," Xu Yang said with a bit of surprise.

After waiting a moment, he saw the swans gather and then, in groups of two or three, start to take off one after another.

One by one, the spectacle was quite magnificent.

Until there was nothing left on the shallow pool but a scattering of feathers.

The online crowd admired the scene.

[So beautiful!]

[Thank you, host, for this rare sight!]

[People who watch Old Xu’s live stream have taste, this visual is truly great!]

Xu Yang, however, kept watching at the shallow pool, wondering if he might spot a swan or two that were injured and unable to fly.

But this time there were no such finds, the pool had quieted down.

"All the swans have flown away, it seems their group is very supportive of each other."

Xu Yang exclaimed, then continued on his way.

His live stream was a unique adventure.

People watching the unfamiliar surroundings might feel a sense of tension and excitement.

Soon, Xu Yang crossed the grasslands and entered a forest area.

After walking a bit further inside, he felt something amiss.

"Something’s odd," he said, stopping in the middle of the forest and looking around cautiously.

The online audience immediately became curious.

[Old Xu, what’s the matter?]

[Don’t scare us now!]

Xu Yang scrutinized his surroundings and then said:

"Don’t you think this place has become a bit too quiet? There are hardly any birds."

"In such a large forest, the absence of birds, no trace of squirrels or rabbits, makes me uneasy."

And then he surmised:

"If I’m not mistaken, there’s a large wild animal living here, I’m just not sure what it is."

"It could be a Leopard or a Lynx."

"Could also be a Brown Bear."

The online audience was taken aback.

Huh?

You can actually sense that?

[Old Xu, are you doing this on purpose, where is the wild animal supposed to be?]

[You are alone in these deep woods; don’t jinx it!]

[And you’re still so calm?]

[Stop, are you really not afraid?]

Everyone was somewhat speechless at Xu Yang’s words.

As if the person in the deep forests wasn’t him, how could he be so composed.

Xu Yang became alert and gestured to Little Wolf to be quiet with his hand.

Then, the online audience saw Little Wolf immediately crouch low, assume a vigilant posture, and quietly follow behind Xu Yang.

This wolf was truly exceptional.

Too smart for its own good.

Xu Yang continued forward, and very soon, he confirmed his suspicion.

Through the gaps between the trees, Xu Yang saw from afar, a Brown Bear lying next to a large tree.

The creature was enjoying a comfortable rest, probably asleep, and therefore hadn’t noticed Xu Yang.

"Look over there, another Brown Bear!"

"I just felt something was wrong!"

Xu Yang pointed ahead and whispered.

The drone shot towards the front, zoomed in, and the online audience saw everything very clearly.

There really was a Brown Bear!

That size, that head, it looked terrifying.

[Holy shit! There really is a Brown Bear!]

[His intuition was actually right!]

[Otherwise, do you think a person could still be alive and well in the forest without some real skills!]

[I’m not the least bit envious of the big money he’s earning!]

The live chat exploded.

The audience was once again stunned by Xu Yang’s abilities.

It was truly a skill Xu Yang had honed himself, for the Bear hadn’t set off his Danger Perception, as it wasn’t watching him, it was purely Xu Yang’s intuition sensing something wrong.

After spending a lot of time in the mountains, one always gets a feeling where danger lies.

Xu Yang took out his phone and took a picture of the Brown Bear.

Points +3, current total: 32.

Then he beckoned to Little Wolf, leading it away in the opposite direction of the Brown Bear.

They needed to get away quickly.

Otherwise, if the Brown Bear noticed them and gave chase, escape would be impossible.

It seemed there were quite a few Brown Bears in this Forest Area, so they had entered the territory where the Brown Bears were active.

After running some distance, Xu Yang said to the audience:

"I’ve seen at least two Brown Bears on my way here, which means there are many of them in this forest area."

"No matter what, everyone absolutely must not come here carelessly."

"When a Brown Bear is enraged, it can truly be fatal."

Hearing him say this, everyone nodded their heads.

Some people like to chase trending topics, but there are many more who value their lives.

If you say there’s something strange in the woods, something ghostly, the materialists who don’t believe in such things will flock there.

But if you say there are a lot of Brown Bears in the mountains, then everyone behaves carefully.

Because Brown Bears can indeed eat people.

Xu Yang continued his journey deeper into the woods.

He had been walking for two days and had already gone very deep.

And there was no shortcut out; he would have to return in the original direction when leaving.

Fortunately, he had a good sense of direction, which kept him from getting lost even in the deep mountains.

After several more hours of trekking,

Xu Yang saw a large expanse of marshland ahead of him, with several muddy ponds.

Xu Yang felt he had come to the right place.

This was the perfect habitat for moose.

And by the footprints beside the marshland, there were definitely a lot of moose around.

"Finally found it, I came to this forest to see this kind of wildlife."

"Moose."

"It’s the largest species within the deer family, quite common abroad, but very rare in our country, rated as First-level protection."

"In the Manchu language, it’s called ’han-ta-han’, and some people also call it ’han’."

"When you see the moose, you will certainly feel it’s different."

Xu Yang looked at the ponds and narrated to everyone.

The online audience was a bit puzzled.

The largest member of the deer family?

How big could they be?

At this very moment, the woods had a bit of mist, adding a touch of haziness to the atmosphere of the mountains.

Right then, several animal figures emerged from the mist in the distant woods.

Xu Yang immediately looked far into the distance.

The drone’s camera followed suit.

Then, the audience saw an incredibly shocking sight.

There they saw seven or eight giant animals slowly moving forward step by step.

Their bodies were exceptionally large and imposing.

Moose have a shoulder height close to two meters, and counting their heads and antlers, they are much taller than a person.

Their body length can reach up to 2.6 meters,

As if they were the size of a small truck.

One moose was already big, but a herd coming out gave off a vibe akin to the "Titans" from a giant’s world.

[Holy shit! Why are they so big?]

[Is this still our country?]

[Old Xu, where are you? Deer are this huge?]

Soon, the moose approached Xu Yang.

And everyone saw it clearly.

Humans seemed very small compared to the moose.

Truly, this world is full of wonders.

For the first time, the audience saw such large deer, and the live chat became especially lively.
