Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start

Chapter 373: Chapter 371: Gaining Rewards, Another Useless Skill?!

The stalactite cave in the mountains was exceptionally beautiful, colorful all throughout.

After noticing Xu Yang’s live broadcast, the Guizhou government was thrilled, seeing it as a promising tourist spot to develop!

But soon, they encountered an awkward problem:

They had no idea where Xu Yang was!

Xu Yang had ventured deep into the mountains, and he wasn’t easy to locate.

He was too good at hiding.

So, the geological department in Guizhou requested Xu Yang’s contact information from the Northeast and then gave him a call.

"Hello? Geological Bureau? Asking where I am?"

"Sorry, I can’t confirm your identity, so I can’t tell."

"Goodbye."

After receiving the call, Xu Yang chatted briefly and decisively hung up.

There was no other way, he had received similar calls before but luckily remained cautious.

Otherwise, his treasure hunting spot would have been discovered.

The people from the geological department were both amused and helpless, not knowing what to say.

But that was okay.

They could only ask someone to contact Xu Yang, fearing they would have to wait until he emerged to meet him personally and confirm the specific location of the stalactite cave.

The scenery outside was still quite nice.

This rare treasure hunting task was difficult for ordinary people, but for Xu Yang, it wasn’t too challenging.

He climbed his way out.

In some steeper sections, he would step back, charge forward, and then kick several times to climb on top of the stalactites.

These few moves weren’t something others could replicate.

His body felt light, as if he had some Qinggong skill.

[Wow, Brother Yang’s movement technique, awesome!]

[Now if you say he can fly, I’ll believe it!]

[Hahaha, so dashing, he must have trained!]

The viewers were amazed.

Xu Yang had already planned his climbing route, ensuring an unobstructed climb.

Everyone witnessed the whole process.

The video content was truly stunning.

Now, Xu Yang’s videos were very popular abroad, and foreigners loved watching them too.

For instance, a recent video of an elderly man from the Northeast almost being attacked by a tiger, which rammed open the gate, was very popular abroad.

The popularity of Xu Yang’s videos soared even higher.

Xu Yang had not yet realized that in many places overseas, his videos were extremely popular.

People called him "Huaxia’s King of Adventure."

This was also thanks to those making money by reuploading the videos, who had given Xu Yang some impressive titles to earn more.

Xu Yang probably hadn’t expected himself to be so popular abroad.

After a while, Xu Yang walked out of the cave.

The air outside was fresh and noticeably warmer than inside.

Sunlight shone on him once again.

[Rare Treasure Hunting Task Completed, Reward:]

[Random Skill: Air Roll.]

[Air Roll: The host masters the ability to roll in the air, excelling in both one-handed and two-handed rolls.]

[Note: Suitable for navigating special obstacles.]

[Dave’s Shop opened.]

Hearing the system’s prompt, Xu Yang was somewhat stunned.

He didn’t know what to feel.

When speechless, one would often laugh.

Xu Yang chuckled, his mood still stable.

Air Roll, it’s not like Contra, why spin so many times in midair.

The system also thoughtfully noted it was suitable for special obstacles, but Xu Yang wasn’t a circus lion and didn’t need to jump through hoops; what special obstacles were there to navigate?

Typically, actions like the Air Roll were purely superfluous, only for show, like jumping off a wall.

You could simply jump or you could leap forcefully and spin 360 degrees in midair before landing.

The former is normal; the latter seems a bit mad.

Regardless, Xu Yang didn’t care much about useless skills.

"This skill might be quite suited for diving."

"But diving is not only about spinning in the air, it’s also about the splash when hitting the water."

"My splash would be quite big, not very useful."

Xu Yang thought to himself.

Although the skill was not very useful, he received an extra highly efficient outdoor watch and access to Dave’s shop, which was somewhat interesting.

Xu Yang checked Dave’s shop immediately.

At that moment, the shop was selling three types of seeds:

"Rice Seeds (High Quality): 1000 points per bag."

"Sweet Chili Seeds (High Quality): 3000 points per bag."

"Super Spicy Chili Seeds (High Quality): 3000 points per bag."

Dave’s shop updated its seeds intermittently and the selection varied each time.

Xu Yang found all the seeds appealing.

He planned to buy them all once he returned to his farm.

For now, he was still in the mountain, where the surrounding environment was pleasant.

There were many animals in the forest, including several new first-level protected animals.

Like the small binturong and the black leaf monkey.

Xu Yang decided to keep exploring.

He had to experience the scenery here.

Then, he followed the river downstream.

Since going downstream made his journey faster.

Barely exerting any effort, Xu Yang was able to swim his way out of the canyon.

He then turned the camera around, changed into a set of clean clothes, throughout which his online viewers were clamoring for him to keep streaming because they wanted to see some "benefits."

The atmosphere was particularly lively.

Next, Xu Yang continued with his Mountain Rushing.

He still had several Treasure Hunting Tasks left, which were quite awesome to use in the mountains.

He completed a normal Treasure Hunting Task by taking a photo with a Golden Eagle and was rewarded with a Golden Feather.

He also searched for mountain products twice, finding a First Level Protected gongtong tree, also known as the pigeon tree.

This gongtong tree was enormous, right in the blooming season, covered with white flowers that looked just like pigeons.

The tree was especially beautiful, and the viewers were also treated to a visual feast.

As for the other time, he found a Small Binturong but did not stream it.

Now with poachers frequently hunting Small Binturongs, Xu Yang did not want to bring bad luck to the little creature.

So, he just looked at it himself and didn’t stream it.

Seeing the adorable little creature was enough for him.

This stream didn’t have any thrilling events.

However, the popularity was still high.

The Geological Department specifically approached him to confirm the location of the cave.

This turned into big local news.

Many locals found it very astonishing.

"In this day and age, finding a cave? This guy is really something!"

"The Geological Department surveys every year and they didn’t discover it?"

"It has to be him, really knows how to find things in the mountains."

"Feels like he can find anything good."

People casually talked about it after meals, and Xu Yang’s reputation in the area was good.

This Treasure Hunt came easily and was enjoyable.

Especially since he had opened a seed store, it felt even more interesting.

Xu Yang didn’t head back to the farm right away.

Since he was already here, he decided to go see Black Leaf Monkeys.

There were a lot of Black Leaf Monkeys here, in large groups.

Black Leaf Monkeys have entirely black fur, different from the monkeys at Emei Mountain and the golden monkeys.

So, Xu Yang went sightseeing at the scenic spots.

Along the way, there were many who sneakily took photos of him and asked for pictures with him.

Coincidentally, Xu Yang ran into the two girls from Taiwan he had met on the plane last time.

One was his fan, and the other was quite pretty.

Both were surprisingly delighted when they met.

They hadn’t expected to meet again.

The three of them drank some milk tea together, chatted for a while, and even exchanged WeChat contacts.

Now many people in Taiwan were using WeChat.

The conversation flowed relatively smoothly.

Both of them liked the mainland a lot and even updated their TikTok regularly with daily routines.

However, because it was too routine, they didn’t have many followers.

After all, netizens prefer edgier content.

Still, they had twenty or thirty thousand followers.

Xu Yang, being a good conversationalist, enjoyed chatting with them.

Mainly because listening to them was quite interesting.

Xu Yang often traveled, mostly to uninhabited areas, so he didn’t have many friends.

Nevertheless, getting to know these two this time was considered a good catch.

After the chat, Xu Yang said goodbye to them.

After seeing the monkeys and returning to the hotel in the evening, he had a rather interesting chat with Su Yutong.

Since Xu Yang was outstanding by himself, his appeal to girls was quite strong.

Su Yutong, usually rather aloof, was influenced by her girlfriends and watched many of Xu Yang’s videos, gradually becoming one of his followers.

It wasn’t particularly conspicuous, though.

But during their chat today, her gaze often lingered on Xu Yang’s face.

There were frequent moments of eye contact.

It felt quite special.

At night, Xu Yang lay in bed resting, and after some thought, he felt this girl was really nice.

Always open-minded, he directly suggested hiking together tomorrow via WeChat.

Su Yutong happily agreed, and then they even discussed how to talk to Xu Xuanxuan about it.

Su Yutong felt a bit uneasy since she had come with her girlfriend, and didn’t want to leave her out.

Xu Yang suggested a few solutions, planning to invite them both out the next day to make it up to her.

Unfortunately, having a third wheel on a date would really dampen the mood.

Su Yutong still asked Xu Xuanxuan for her opinion.

"What, Xu Yang asked you out alone? For hiking?"

"He... has pretty good taste."

Xu Xuanxuan was somewhat surprised.

"I’d be happy if you two go together, what’s there to worry about, he’s a great guy!"

"If you could win him over, that would be fantastic!"

Hearing this, Su Yutong chuckled in response, "Win him over? It’s just hiking and enjoying the scenery."

"It’s quite normal."

The two of them laughed and joked around, creating a pretty nice atmosphere.

The next day, Xu Yang and Su Yutong met up, then went to the scenic area to admire the stunning landscapes of Guizhou.

The experience was very rewarding.

Their conversation flowed very smoothly.

They could feel that at least their perspectives on things were aligned.

These days, finding someone you can chat effortlessly with is somewhat rare.

So being able to hang out together was indeed quite precious.
