Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 91: Circling the Tree with a Wild Boar, Wang Carrying the Sword!

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Circling the Tree with a Wild Boar, Wang Carrying the Sword!

Xu Yang discovered that the adorable little leopard liked to respond to him.

"Xiao Hua!"

"Meow~~"

"Xiao Hua!"

"Meow~~"

As they walked through the grass, Xiao Yang would call out and the little leopard would answer right back.

It knew Xu Yang was calling it, and it was very happy.

The online audience saw this scene and couldn’t help but give an ’auntie smile.’

[This little leopard is too cute!]

[Streamer, treat it well; this little guy is definitely your traffic password!]

[Hahaha, Xiao Hua is going to be famous!]

[My heart is being melted!]

Xu Yang truly liked this little leopard, it was so endearing.

Right now, the little fellow was just a cub, needing lots of nurturing for good behavior in the future.

After walking a few steps, Xu Yang noticed some dandelions sprouting up near his feet.

It’s worth mentioning that the dandelions in the Northeast are the biggest in the world.

Xu Yang hadn’t realized this yet and simply bent down to pick one, helping to propagate the dandelion’s lineage.

"Here’s a dandelion."

"We have lots of dandelions here in March and April, some people even pick them to eat. They taste okay, but I’m not really fond of them."

"They’re also around this season."

Xu Yang said, holding up the dandelion for the online audience.

Seeing the dandelion, as big as a fist in his hand, the audience was stunned.

That’s a dandelion; what do we have here then?

[What the heck? Is that a dandelion? Has the Northeast’s spirit energy revived?]

[Good lord, suddenly holding up something so big, I’m baffled. What is it?]

[No way, ours are tiny and look fluffy. Why is your dandelion so big?]

[Do dandelions grow that long there?]

Xu Yang had not expected that the dandelions would also surprise everyone.

He casually pulled up another, lifting both giant dandelions, and asked:

"Isn’t the dandelion supposed to look like this? You must be talking about those that haven’t fully grown yet."

[There’s definitely something off!]

[Grown ones are only as big as ping-pong balls; those are almost the size of fists!]

As Xu Yang held the dandelion in his hand and shook it a few times, the seeds scattered, drifting towards the bushes.

Seeing this, the little leopard immediately chased after the dandelion seeds, accidentally inhaled them, and sneezed twice before recovering.

It still looked somewhat silly and cute.

"The dandelions here are indeed big; maybe it’s just a variety issue, after all, oranges grow differently north and south of the Huai River."

Xu Yang continued on his way with the little leopard.

The atmosphere had been light and cheerful.

Walking in the mountains with a little leopard, looking for things, felt quite magical.

But just then, Xu Yang suddenly felt a chill sweep over him, and his body instinctively sent out an alert.

Immediately turning his head to look, he saw a large wild boar with five or six piglets nearby.

The wild boar’s gaze was firmly fixed on the little leopard.

Before Xu Yang could react, it charged straight at the little leopard.

"Holy cow!"

Xu Yang’s reaction was incredibly fast.

He quickly scooped up Xiao Hua and bolted.

At the same time, he scanned the surroundings for climbable trees.

Unfortunately, the trees here were all very straight and tall.

Climbing trees was no problem for him, but it was difficult for the little guy.

Even if he could manage to climb up with Xiao Hua in one arm, without a good foothold, they’d eventually fall.

So, Xu Yang made a very smart choice, he found a thick tree to start circling around.

The drone quickly captured the wild boar’s trail.

An attacking wild boar!

The audience, who had been laughing moments ago, was now stunned!

What the heck?

Where did this wild boar come from?

Why did things suddenly heat up?

[Wild boar! Holy smokes! There’s a wild boar!]

[Damn! The mountains are indeed dangerous!]

[It seems to be going after the little leopard!]

[Adult animals preemptively kill the cubs of their predators. It’s normal!]

[Brother Yang! Run fast!]

The comments were flying.

At the moment, many people were casually scrolling through short videos online to pass the time.

They had been lounging comfortably, scrolling through, when they suddenly stumbled upon Xu Yang’s livestream.

Seeing the livestream, they sat up involuntarily.

Wow, livestreams have gotten to this level?

It’s so thrilling?

People began flocking to watch.

Xu Yang’s livestream traffic started to skyrocket.

At this very moment, Xu Yang’s focus was intensely sharp.

He held the little leopard, spread his legs, and stood behind the large tree, dodging the wild boar.

When the wild boar came from the left, he moved to the right.

When it came from the right, he stepped to the left.

And so, they were locked in a standoff for several minutes.

At first, the viewers watched with a mix of horror and concern.

After a while, as the tension eased due to the comic nature of the situation, a smile began to creep onto their faces.

Before long, they couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

[Wang Fuji! Wang Fuji!]

[Hahahaha, a perfect reenactment of Jing Ke’s assassination attempt on the King of Qin!]

[Thought you were playing in the wild, got ganked by a wild boar, didn’t you!]

[Early footage of wild boars domesticating humans—priceless!]

Viewers are always like this; if the situation really gets dangerous, everyone would be sweating for Xu Yang.

But when they noticed Xu Yang seemed more than capable, all sorts of playful comments started appearing.

The popularity of the live stream skyrocketed for a moment.

The number of viewers rose at a terrifying rate.

10,000, 20,000, 30,000... until it stabilized at over 50,000

Xu Yang hadn’t even realized that so many people were watching his video of him and the wild boar running in circles.

Right now Xu Yang didn’t have many good options, so he just kept circling the tree with the boar.

If this pig calmed down, it should leave eventually.

The main issue was that Little Leopard was there, which made it inconvenient for Xu Yang, otherwise taking a stick and fighting with the wild boar wouldn’t be a big deal.

Little Leopard thought it was playing and was having the time of its life in Xu Yang’s arms.

All smiles.

The wild boar was making grunting noises and still trying to attack Little Leopard.

But Xu Yang was very nimble, always keeping a tree between them, making sure the wild boar couldn’t touch him.

[Brother Yang, come on, don’t just hide behind the referee when boxing!]

[Hahaha, the more I watch, the funnier it gets, sorry!]

[You scared me just now! Who would have thought this could be so funny!]

[The host is always so unpredictable!]

Not far away, a few small wild boars watched this side fearfully, not daring to come closer.

The adult wild boar tried again but still couldn’t reach Xu Yang, it too lost patience, and grumblingly ran off.

Seeing it run far away, Xu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You gave me a scare!"

"This thing came too suddenly."

"I just had a bad feeling."

Xu Yang set Little Leopard down and spoke to the viewers.

He took out his phone to see what everyone was saying in the live stream.

Only then did he realize that over 50,000 people were watching his circling with the wild boar.

"This many people?"

"It’s normal to occasionally encounter wild boars in the mountains, ’one pig, two bears, three tigers’ isn’t said for no reason."

"But they don’t have much brains. Once they realize they can’t catch you, they just run away."

Xu Yang continued.

[Hahaha, worthy of being called the Wild Boar Knight!]

[Every time I watch your Mountain Rushing, I just want to see how you deal with wild boars!]

[That was too funny just now!]

Xu Yang looked at Little Leopard, intending to comfort it, but when he saw its clear and stupid big eyes, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

This guy, truly heartless.

"Little Leopard still needs to be watched, it’s dangerous in the mountains."

"Although leopards stand at the top of the food chain, the cubs are relatively weak and they can also become prey for other predators."

"I have to be careful too."

Xu Yang continued forward, choosing a direction opposite to that of the wild boar.

Today’s Mountain Rushing yielded moderate results—found some wild Auricularia mushrooms, a few kinds of mushrooms, and a little Red Ganoderma.

But the discoveries from time to time lifted his spirits.

After his struggle with the wild boar, the live stream’s viewer count quickly stabilized at around 10,000+.

The popularity of the Tiktok platform is like this; the pace is fast and people only like to watch things that pique their interest.

Xu Yang continued Mountain Rushing, using the remaining charges of the Treasure Compass since aimlessly wandering wasn’t effective.

The last two times the compass pointed out something curious, it was two large deer antlers of a deer, spaced more than eight hundred meters apart.

Despite the distance being just eight hundred meters, without the Treasure Compass, finding one antler and then finding a second would be very difficult.

"I’m pretty lucky today, these big deer antlers!"

"Look, everyone, these little particles on the ground, they’re all Sika Deer droppings."

"This indicates that this area is a major living habitat for Sika Deer."

"And these grasses here, clearly nibbled on."

"Herbivores are picky eaters; they don’t just eat any grass. Now that the vegetation is lush, they only eat fresh leaves or fruits."

"And deer, sheep, they’re smart. They eat medicinal herbs when injured, and even consume herbs that stabilize pregnancy when pregnant."

"Each species has its way of living, which becomes quite interesting once you understand it."

Xu Yang continued educating everyone.

Many people found it fascinating and quite fun after hearing about it.

Xu Yang, holding the two antlers, had enough harvest from today’s Mountain Rushing with these two antlers alone.

"In our village there are about six or seven people specifically looking for deer antlers. After the breeding season of Sika Deer when the males stop fighting, they frequently start shedding their antlers."

"They’d go into the mountains together, conducting a carpet search for antlers."

"They’d constantly call out to each other along the way to confirm locations, to prevent accidents."

"I went with them several times as a kid."

"Back then I really enjoyed going into the mountains with others, but now I prefer going alone."

Xu Yang, seeing that it was about time, started his return journey.

He shared stories of mountain runners searching for deer antlers along the way.

Deer antlers are indeed valuable.

Though Sika Deer shed many, there are more collectors, creating a demand that exceeds supply.

Just like before, as soon as Xu Yang took the antlers into the mountain goods market, there would definitely be people asking about the price.

Earning a thousand or two, he felt good too.

"That’s about it, time to head back."

"Also, to hand Little Leopard over to its mom."

"This little guy played like crazy, must be tired too."

Xu Yang started the journey back, Little Leopard continuing to follow.

This process could strengthen the little guy’s stamina, helping in its growth.

The drone filmed the backs of Xu Yang and Little Leopard from behind.

Xu Yang was his usual steady and agile self.

Little Leopard, meanwhile, bounced and hopped, very adorable.

Some leopards, just walking along, grow up.

Such scenes would often appear in the future.

But the state of the leopard would be entirely different...
