Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 444 - 442: New Location, New Treasure Hunting Task!

Chapter 444: Chapter 442: New Location, New Treasure Hunting Task!

Winter is getting colder, and the farm has completely entered a state of hibernation.

Employees take their vacations or remain on duty as needed.

There aren’t many people around.

Without his wife, Xu Yang spends his days at home playing video games and amusing the cats and dogs.

A rare period of bachelorhood.

And quite joyful.

But after a few days, it was time to get busy with other things. So, he planned to first return to Taiwan to spend some time with his wife, then go out for a leisurely wander.

He opened the Treasure Map, and there were plenty of good places to go.

Considering the cold winter climate, he definitely wanted to go somewhere warm. Xu Yang checked the Treasure Map and his attention landed on the border between Asia and Africa.

There is a country there:

Egypt.

Most of Egypt’s territory is in Africa, but a small part is also in Asia.

The landscape here is predominantly desert, and the pyramids and the Great Sphinx are famous worldwide, with plenty of related culture.

Historically, there have been many explorers who ventured into Egypt.

"Egypt is also an ancient civilization, although there are historical interruptions."

"The climate here is dry, and it’s not cold at this time; it might be good to wander around."

"But the tourist spots are all traps, not very interesting, you have to go by yourself."

"Maybe I can use the Treasure Compass to find a pyramid; I remember there are many pyramids there."

Xu Yang was thinking to himself.

Having made his plan, Xu Yang started packing the next day.

He was now an expert at traveling light—just a suitcase and a backpack were enough.

The suitcase mainly held a drone, while the backpack contained various cables, a tablet, a portable power bank, and the like.

As for clothes, he could simply buy more if needed.

Moreover, his system had a wardrobe feature that allowed him to exchange for clothes directly.

But before setting off, Xu Yang first flew to Taiwan to accompany his wife and check on their unborn child.

His wife was in good spirits and looked as beautiful as ever.

She was still gentle as ever, always smiling, making their time together very comfortable.

After resting for a few days at his father-in-law’s, Xu Yang, with his luggage, embarked on his journey to Egypt.

Upon arrival, the first thing was to find a place to settle down.

Next, he needed to find a reliable car rental service.

However, the cars available for rent were usually old and unreliable, and Xu Yang, planning to drive into the desert, expected some mishaps.

Eventually, he simply bought a second-hand Tank 300—a domestic off-road vehicle he was used to and quite powerful.

He planned to sell it when he was leaving, so he wouldn’t spend too much money.

Xu Yang’s plans were quite wild.

People here mainly lived along the Nile River, and even the primary distribution of pyramids was along the Nile.

The culture of the Nile basin was rich and colorful.

But the attractions had long been overexposed.

And there was nothing novel, apart from pyramids and statues, but only endless sandstorms.

Xu Yang did not go to the tourist spots; instead, one morning, he headed straight for the desert outskirts.

There were vast areas of desert here.

The desert wasn’t just made of sand, but also loess.

The loess was very dry, allowing the vehicle to travel through easily.

However, the desert rarely had any visitors.

Because it was too desolate and dry.

And severely lacking in water.

Aside from many drought-resistant creatures that could survive, no other life could.

Xu Yang drove deep into the desert and when he felt the time was right, he launched the drone and started a live stream.

For the viewers, it was a familiar unboxing segment.

As soon as they tuned into his live stream, everyone’s first reaction was surprise.

Where is this?

Where has he gone now?

Xu Yang seemed like an NPC randomly spawning in uninhabited areas.

Sometimes in deep mountains, sometimes in the ocean, sometimes in snow domains, and sometimes amidst tourist spots.

Every live stream always felt different.

[Where is Old Xu now?]

[Isn’t this the Loess Plateau?]

[Totally without any prior notice!]

[Wow, which desert is this!]

In the live stream, the distant view showed a stretch of dry loess.

The car moved slowly, and wherever the tires passed, dust and dirt splattered.

It was all dirt, but there were no plants.

Because the place was too dry, there was absolutely no water.

Egypt’s civilization originated from and thrived around the Nile River.

Places like this vast desert were many in Egypt.

The area was extremely vast.

What everyone was seeing now was just a very small part of it.

Xu Yang didn’t keep us in suspense.

"Recently having nothing much to do, I came to Egypt for a stroll."

"The scenic area is nothing exciting, just gray and dull, the pyramids are pretty much the same as what you see in videos."

"They’re only good for taking photos and checking in."

"I prefer experiencing things firsthand, so I came here."

"This is a desert in Sajara called Wei Cheng, where a couple of pyramid tombs were just excavated a while ago."

"They are over there."

"The official announcement said that only 30% of the pyramids here have been discovered, so I thought why not take a tour around, maybe I’ll find a pyramid or something."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, everyone suddenly realized.

So he came to Egypt.

But then they quickly realized something was amiss.

What?

You went to find pyramids in Egypt?

Not to see, but to find.

Usually, people go to Egypt to see the pyramids in scenic areas.

Xu Yang, on the other hand, headed straight to the outskirts looking for wild pyramids.

He is a live-streamer who chases mountains after all, always on the lookout for treasures.

And his treasure hunts are getting more and more outrageous.

[Brother Yang, when I first watched your live stream, you were picking mushrooms in Changbai Mountain, and now you’ve gone to Egypt to find pyramids?]

[Hahaha, he’s even found sunken ships at sea!]

[In terms of treasure hunting, Brother Yang’s talent is truly world-class!]

[The big boss is always the big boss, awesome!]

Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim.

The car drove through the desert.

It looked quite clean and bright, but the sand and wind were still quite strong.

Moreover, the temperature varies greatly between day and night, it’s almost noon now, and it’s getting hot in the car.

Once the sun goes down, the temperature will drop rapidly.

Xu Yang has gone quite deep into the area.

The treasure hunting level here is "very good", Xu Yang thought it would be great to trigger a rare treasure hunting task.

He took out the Treasure Compass to use.

The System Panel quickly popped up with a message.

[Trigger Rare Treasure Hunting Task: The Lost Pyramid! Requires 10 treasure hunting attempts, do you accept?]

[Task Description: Find the Lost Pyramid and reach the Pharaoh’s tomb.]

[Task Tool: Anti-Poison Mask*1]

[Task Reward: Random Skill*1]

[Pure Gold Pyramid (5kg)*1]

[Mummy Making Method*1]

[Random Lost Artifact*1]

It really is a rare level treasure hunting task.

And there indeed are pyramids here.

But this task is not going to be easy to accomplish.

"Nowadays, there are many lost pyramids, all of them small."

"But most of them are buried in the ground."

"Even if I find one, I can’t enter."

"It’s not like I can bring an excavator to dig."

Xu Yang pondered on how to complete this task.

He stroked his chin, silently strategizing.

Things are often not that simple.

But after thinking it over, he decided to first locate the pyramid.

Thus, he drove the SUV, heading straight toward the destination.

The SUV raced across the uneven terrain, filling the live stream with a wild scene.

Xu Yang had also studied the internal structure of the pyramids, which are generally comprised of the corridors and burial chambers.

The scenic area has already turned them into an amusement project.

Everyone lines up to enter the pyramid and then lines up to come out.

Because it’s crowded and not ventilated, those who have visited say it smells terrible inside and there’s not much to see.

However, getting into the Pharaoh’s burial chamber is not allowed, and generally it’s not easy to access.

About half an hour later, Xu Yang reached the area specified by the system.

This area surprised him; it featured a range of low hills, undulating and oddly shaped.

"Are there pyramids here?"

"It doesn’t look like it at all."

Xu Yang was internally calculating.

He stopped the car, got out, and looked at the low hills in front of him, trying to discern any clues.

But he didn’t find anything.

Xu Yang took out a bottle of mineral water, drained it, feeling somewhat refreshed, and then walked towards the low hills.

"There seems to be something here, let’s check it out."

Xu Yang said to his online viewers.

Hearing his words, everyone’s attention was focused on the live stream screen.
