Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start

Since the search for mountain goods had begun, Xu Yang's live streaming room attracted quite a few viewers.

More than 3600 people were watching.

And they were watching with the highest enthusiasm.

It was at that moment that Xu Yang sensed danger nearby, suddenly leaped up, grabbed a tree branch, flipped over, and climbed onto a tree fork.

This baffled all the viewers!

What's happening?

Why is he suddenly showing off Qinggong?

The live-streaming room went quiet for a few seconds.

Then, the barrage of comments exploded instantly.

[Did I see that right, what was that just now?]

[Damn, this host has got some skills, can he fly?]

[Damn it, he flew straight onto the tree? Are we sure that's not an effect?]

[Host, turn off the wire rig, it's not fun.]

[Indeed, I'm flabbergasted, amazing!]

The live streaming room was exceptionally lively.

There were even several viewers sending gifts.

Xu Yang's performance really exceeded everyone's expectations.

At this time, Xu Yang didn't have time to pay attention to the live stream's chat.

He was staring in the direction where the tall grass was shaking, watching carefully.

If nothing unexpected, it could be a wild boar.

Wild boars are quite dangerous.

In the mountains, there's an old saying: pigs first, bears second, tigers third.

It means that the danger of encountering wild boars in the forest is the highest, and wild boars also have the highest likelihood of attacking people.

Bears generally don't attack people unless they are provoked.

Tigers are rarely encountered, and under normal circumstances, if you don't provoke a tiger and it's not hungry, it won't attack humans.

But wild boars are different.

No one knows what they're thinking.

Not only are they irritable, but they also love to fight and are very brutal.

Xu Yang hid in the tree as a precautionary move to avoid danger.

Before long, an animal emerged from the tall grass.

But the appearance of the animal surprised Xu Yang as well.

It was a large gray wild rabbit.

It was running out while nibbling on some roots.

This wild rabbit was quite fat, so when it passed through the tall grass, it pressed against the roots.

The bottom moved only slightly, but towards the top, the movement was greater.

So it looked as if some enormous creature was coming through.

"False alarm, it was just a wild rabbit."

"And here I thought a wild boar was coming!"

Xu Yang sighed in relief and spoke.

The viewers were still immersed in his tree-climbing skills.

Upon hearing Xu Yang's words, their focus immediately shifted.

People burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, the host climbed a tree because he got scared by a wild rabbit!]

[It's just a wild rabbit! Gave me a scare too!]

[That tree-climbing maneuver just now was so smooth, the host's got something special!]

[Hahahaha, the first person to climb a tree scared by a rabbit!]

The comments became lively once again.

The number of people in the live streaming room kept increasing, unknowingly breaking past four thousand.

It was evident that on the short video platform, Xu Yang's live stream had been placed into an even larger traffic pool.

Xu Yang glanced at the barrage of comments, he remained calm.

"When moving through the deep mountains and old forests, there are many dangers, and it's easy to run into trouble if you're not careful."

"So it's important to preemptively avoid risks."

"It's all standard procedure."

"Seeing the tall grass shaking definitely meant something was approaching, whether it was a rabbit or a mouse, it's always right to climb up the tree in advance to avoid."

"If a wild boar were to emerge, that would be too much of a loss."

Xu Yang nimbly jumped down from the tree.

Rushing through the mountain in these deep old forests was quite a thrill, but thankfully, he was agile enough.

As long as he remained extra vigilant, he wouldn't encounter any problems.

Everyone understood the principle, yet the last to run out was a rabbit, which was just too comical.

Everyone was originally worried a wild boar might show up, but it turned out to be a rabbit.

The contrast was at full throttle.

There was never-ending laughter and cheer in the live stream room.

Xu Yang then continued to cautiously explore the mountains.

Apart from some areas where tall grass obstructed the view, in most places, one could see far through the gaps between the trees, so there was no need to worry too much.

Further in, Xu Yang found more Chinese herbs along the way.

"This area's not bad, look here, Schizandra, a great tonic."

Xu Yang said, pointing to a row of little red fruits.

These little red fruits somewhat resembled red goji berries, but they were plump and round, and hung in clusters.

"Schizandra is also great, with very high medicinal value."

"Let's pick some since we see them, even if not for sale, they're good for home use."

Xu Yang took out a box and carefully packed the clusters of Schizandra into it.

Then, Xu Yang continued to move forward while searching for mountain produce.

This area indeed had plenty of goodies, and it happened to be midsummer, when plants grew most exuberantly.

The medicinal herbs were all sticking their heads out.

Before long, after passing through another patch of bush, Xu Yang looked at a patch of green grass on the ground and said:

"Here, these are Gentiana, and not just any, but Northern Gentian from Changbai Mountain. Its effects are very good."

"However, it's not easy to harvest Gentiana in the deep mountains, so we can only look."

The Gentiana was flourishing in abundance.

Xu Yang thought how wonderful it would be if these Gentiana grew at his home.

Leaving them here meant they could only grow and wither naturally—it was such a waste.

Watching the lush green grass, everyone online was contemplating one question:

"With all this grass around, which one is Gentiana?"

Some asked this question via a barrage message:

[Host, where is the Gentiana you mentioned? Can't see it!]

Xu Yang saw the message and was a bit puzzled himself.

Can't see it?

Isn't it everywhere?

After picking up a few stalks and explaining, the viewers finally understood.

This region was truly a geomantic treasure.

Xu Yang noticed that this area was rich in Chinese herbs, growing in large patches.

Although it was not feasible to transport them out, hence not convenient to harvest, this indirectly indicated a high probability of finding good mountain produce in the area.

He had gained some experience now.

Good treasures are found with the Treasure Compass in geomantic treasures.

Using the Treasure Compass in ordinary areas, on the other hand, yields only ordinary treasures.

Therefore, one must look for places filled with treasures to use it.

Xu Yang decided to use the Treasure Compass.

After a complete scan, the position of the treasure was quickly marked on the smartphone map.

Just like before.

Xu Yang didn't feel anything special.

He methodically went about searching for mountain goods while moving closer to the target area.

The mountain paths were always difficult, requiring climbing from time to time.

Soon, Xu Yang arrived at the designated target area.

He was still guessing what it might be.

Whether it was Lingzhi, Polygonum multiflorum, or something valuable like Thunderstruck Wood or animal fossils.

While Xu Yang was guessing, he noticed a plant on the ground.

A complete, green plant.

It was a ginseng leaf!

The soil around the ginseng leaf was intact, with no signs of disturbance, and there were many wild herbs around, all growing cleanly.

Xu Yang was even more thrilled inside.

Because oftentimes, ginseng could be dug up by wild boars or damaged by worms.

If the essence of the ginseng leaked, it would become worthless.

But this ginseng plant was clearly intact and very well-preserved.

He had finally unearthed ginseng again!

A flash of excitement appeared in Xu Yang's eyes.

The viewers saw this and understood as well.

There was another find!
