Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 425 - 423: Do You Call This a Coincidence?

Chapter 425: Chapter 423: Do You Call This a Coincidence?

Three Tibetan foxes were playing around Xu Yang’s feet.

Xu Yang also took out a bag of raisins and fed them a bit.

The Tibetan foxes indeed had an odd appearance.

Their body proportions were quite uncoordinated, and they had large heads.

But after looking at them for a while, they somehow seemed quite graceful.

The online friends found it hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing.

Two patrol guards squatted beside, idly fiddling with some withered plants.

How sad.

The foxes only got close to Xu Yang.

What did that make them, the patrol guards?

After feeding the Tibetan foxes, Xu Yang waved goodbye to them.

The foxes happily ran off.

There were many Tibetan foxes on the plateau, but they also had to be careful, as there were plenty of predators and birds of prey.

"Brother Yang, how did you do it? Teach me, please."

A young patrol guard asked admiringly.

This area had a strong cultural belief system; the patrol guard almost considered Xu Yang some kind of auspicious incarnation.

"I’m not sure either; they just inexplicably came towards me."

Xu Yang replied with a smile.

Hearing this, the two patrol guards could only sigh.

The viewers in the live stream overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but laugh,

[Isn’t Brother Yang’s physique always like this?]

[Even the White Sturgeon would come out, what can’t he attract!]

[I remember the Giant Pandas also got close to Brother Yang! It even made the hot searches!]

[Even the tigers not wanting it, he’s like a Druid with this physique!]

[Previously thought he was just a local wanderer of Changbai Mountain, turns out he’s a national wanderer!]

[Indeed, in Australia it wasn’t the same, I remember fighting with kangaroos!]

The barrage rolled on.

Xu Yang was already accustomed to everyone’s comments.

Since it was already like this, he might as well go with what everyone said.

After feeding the Tibetan foxes, he still had to feed the Mongolian Wildcat.

Guided by the Treasure Compass, it wasn’t long before Xu Yang spotted a Mongolian Wildcat squatting on the ground.

There were also such creatures in the forests of Changbai Mountain.

So, seeing them always felt familiar.

The Mongolian Wildcat sat on the ground, would stretch its tail out, and then place its plump front paws on the tail.

This way, its paws stayed particularly warm.

The vehicle stopped again.

"There’s a Mongolian Wildcat over there!"

Xu Yang got out of the car and spoke to the wildcat.

The patrol guard also got out.

Usually, humans should not interfere with the lives of wild animals at random.

But it’s hard to resist when wild animals themselves accept the interference.

Like now, Xu Yang walked a few steps forward and stepped onto the clearing.

The Mongolian Wildcat’s gaze was locked on Xu Yang, and then it ran straight towards him.

Patrol Guard: What the heck, what’s happening?

Again?

The viewers were also dumbfounded.

Wait, really just a friend of animals?

[Old Xu, are you sure this Mongolian Wildcat isn’t raised by you?]

Xu Yang took out a pack of jerky and said with a smile:

"I’m not familiar with it either, don’t know why it just came over."

At this moment, the system sent a prompt that the Treasure Hunting Task was successfully completed.

He received two three-meter-tall toys.

The toys were big enough to serve as beds, one was a Tibetan fox and the other a Mongolian Wildcat.

Xu Yang didn’t care much about the rewards, but now being able to pet the Mongolian Wildcat at a close distance felt quite nice.

Xu Yang touched the body of the Mongolian Wildcat.

Its fur was thick and firm.

"It’s really fat, I thought it was just fluffy."

"This body is quite round."

Xu Yang exclaimed.

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, the Mongolian Wildcat looked at him, its expression somewhat surprised.

As if to say, "Are you being polite?"

The task was successfully completed.

The Mongolian Wildcat ate some food and then cheerfully ran away.

As Xu Yang looked back, a patrol guard had already knelt down.

"Brother Yang, do you have some secret you find hard to talk about?"

Seeing this, Xu Yang helplessly said, "It’s not that mysterious, just been staying in the mountains for a long time, been around animals a lot, maybe gradually it became easy to attract small animals."

"It’s just a few, a coincidental phenomenon."

Hearing his words, the viewers in the live room instantly clicked their tongues.

[You call this a coincidental phenomenon?]

[That’s too many coincidences!]

[Why don’t I have such experiences?]

The atmosphere in the live broadcast was lively.

The off-road vehicle continued forward, moving across the vast wilderness.

The patrol guards would introduce to Xu Yang the scenery around the patrol route.

Occasionally, some small animals would run past quickly.

In the distance, Xu Yang also saw many camels running away.

The patrol guard told him that those were wild camels, which would run at any sign of movement and couldn’t be approached at all.

Domesticated camels, on the other hand, aren’t afraid of humans. They come out to graze and then head back home.

It was also because of the characteristics of the wild camels that they could keep living in this area.

"Brother Yang, perhaps if you approached, the wild camels wouldn’t run away."

The patrol guard added.

"No, that was all just coincidence."

Xu Yang responded with a smile.

The landscape of the wilderness was beautiful.

The three of them arrived at the foot of a mountain and, taking Little Black with them, began to hike up the mountain.

Following the established route, they patrolled the area.

On one hand, they checked for any safety hazards, and on the other hand, they looked for any animals that might need help.

On the mountain, Xu Yang saw two particularly cute little animals, Yili Rabbits.

These guys were incredibly adorable.

They had two large ears and looked a bit like rodents, but they weren’t mice—they were from the rabbit family.

Xu Yang watched the rabbits for quite a while.

These little guys were hard to come by.

So cute.

Yili Rabbits lived at the foot of Heaven Mountain and liked to eat high mountain plants, including golden lotus, snowdrops, Fire Feather Grass, and Saxifraga, among others.

They fed on rare plants.

There was no choice, there weren’t many plants in this area, and what they could eat were rare species.

Anyway, it was not illegal for them, so they could eat as they liked.

Netizens who saw such animals were also attracted by the little guys.

Everyone got excited again.

Indeed, the animals out here were good-looking, unique, and strange.

The rabbits, holding two snowdrops, hurried away.

Xu Yang knew that they liked to hoard and would hide plants in their nest.

Probably going to stash away the plants.

Xu Yang stood aside while the two patrol guards instinctively took a few steps back and then stopped to watch.

Seeing their actions, Xu Yang was slightly taken aback.

"What are you two looking at?"

Hearing him, the younger patrol guard replied:

"Brother Yang, we’re seeing if the rabbits come to find you."

"Rabbits are the type to run at the sight of people, maybe they’ll be drawn to you."

Hearing this, Xu Yang didn’t know what to say.

There was no way it was that coincidental.

Previously, it was because he had a task and had gained the favor of a Tibetan fox and a Mongolian Wildcat.

Now that was no longer the case.

"I told you, that was a coincidence, they might just smell something tasty on me."

Xu Yang could only explain.

Seeing that the two rabbits did not approach Xu Yang and continued hopping away, the patrol guards believed his words.

The scenery they observed on this patrol was vast.

Those who became patrol guards were people who enjoyed this kind of life.

Not very good with words, they just walked and appreciated the scenery.

Away from the pressure of the city, away from complex social relationships.

Living like this was quite good.

Nowadays, there were fewer patrol guards.

It was said that in many places, patrol guards had retired and then been rehired because nobody wanted to go.

This was actually not bad.

For patrol guards, retirement means a pension, and rehire means a salary; earning double made their lives a little better.

Xu Yang also liked this kind of scenery.

Of course, he now had better options.

After patrolling, Xu Yang spoke to the netizens:

"Let me tell you here, many conservation areas are not allowed to be entered privately. The places I go to are either unrestricted areas or I’ve communicated with the officials beforehand."

"Respect the conservation measures."

"If you enter rashly, not only will you be fined, but you might also end up in jail."

Xu Yang always promoted positivity.

Most people wouldn’t run around aimlessly, but you never know, some might follow the crowd.

After all, due to Xu Yang’s popularity, there were quite a few people who had been caught because of this.

The upcoming journey on the plateau held no great danger.

It was just hiking through the wilderness, three people and a dog, which made for a beautiful scene.

This was deep in the Talimu conservation area, rarely visited by humans and home to many high-altitude mountain wildlife.

It was a sanctuary belonging to the wild animals.

Seeing this from Xu Yang’s livestream made everyone feel it was very unusual.

Xu Yang took the opportunity to complete another Treasure Hunting Task.

The task was a routine one, just helping an injured bird, conveniently located near a patrol guard, and after some bandaging, the bird was handed over to them for rescue.

The scenery here was beautiful and worth remembering.

The remote high mountain wilderness provided Xu Yang with a different experience.

As the patrol loop finished, the sun was also about to set.

The three people had climbed the mountain together, ate together, and jointly rescued a small bird.

It was meaningful.

Occasionally getting out and about, Xu Yang was in a good mood.

Indeed, the outside world was fascinating.

The livestream always had many viewers.

His broadcasts were consistently at the top.

Every broadcast was inevitably a hit.

That was why Xu Yang now remained cautious when livestreaming outdoors.

Still, he had to set a good example.
