Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start

The densely vegetated primordial forest of Changbai Mountain.

In the forest, a roe deer stood in front of a human, happily tasting the biscuit from the human's hand.

This roe deer had no antlers, and looked the same as a Sika Deer except it was light brown all over, without the distinctive spots of the Sika Deer.

Xu Yang took the opportunity to stroke its head.

"This is a roe deer."

"They aren't actually stupid, just simple-minded, thinking all humans and animals are good and won't hurt them. On the other hand, they are extremely curious. The more you forbid them from doing something, the more they want to do it."

Xu Yang explained to the viewers in the live stream room.

The scene looked very heartwarming.

After stumbling upon Xu Yang's live stream, many viewers chose to stay and watch.

After finishing the biscuit in Xu Yang's hand, the roe deer was still not satisfied and its big head approached Xu Yang's body, trying to sniff out more biscuits.

"Go on, get!"

Xu Yang pushed on its neck, pushing its head away.

This guy had no sense of boundaries, hence the saying about them being cheeky.

"I need to continue looking for mountain goods."

"Mountain Rushing doesn't always yield results, but I grew up in the mountain, and I still know where to find many things."

Pushing the foolish roe deer aside, Xu Yang walked on by himself.

The roe deer lingered in place for a few seconds, then followed Xu Yang with a hop and a skip.

Xu Yang took a couple of steps and the roe deer followed likewise, seemingly curious about what Xu Yang was up to.

In recent years, the population in the Northeast had been dwindling, and correspondingly, the ecology had been improving.

The number of wild animals in Changbai Mountain had started to increase.

Sometimes while driving along the mountain roads, you could even see a Northeast Tiger strolling by the roadside.

After walking for a while, Xu Yang decided to use the Treasure Compass.

It had gone unused yesterday, and he could use it twice in total.

Soon, two marked locations appeared on the map on his phone.

Xu Yang opened the map, glanced at the general directions, then carefully made his way deeper into the jungle.

The live stream still showed lush greenery, towering trees, and wild grasses everywhere, with occasional blooms of wild flowers.

The scenery was delightful.

Xu Yang stopped, turned around, and saw the foolish roe deer that had been following him. Seeing Xu Yang turn, it also stopped, awkwardly suspending one front hoof mid-air, its eyes filled with a silly charm.

"What are you following me for?"

Xu Yang asked the foolish roe deer with a smile.

The roe deer twitched its ears.

Seeing this scene, viewers in the live chat burst into laughter.

"You all might not believe this, but I've been followed by a foolish roe deer."

"This guy really is adorably dumb."

After saying that offhandedly, Xu Yang continued walking deeper into the forest.

He was a mountain runner, seeking mountain goods in the forest.

As he walked, Xu Yang continued talking:

"Living by the mountain, there are quite a few professional mountain runners."

"People would go into the mountain at specific times to gather mountain goods, then sell them at the mountain goods market."

"Today I'll search thoroughly, and tomorrow I'll set up a stall at the market."

"Tomorrow just happens to be Saturday, a big market day."

"It's definitely going to be bustling."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, viewers became somewhat excited about the so-called mountain goods market.

Just then, Xu Yang noticed some Little red fruits ahead, and he quickly went over and picked them all.

"Look at this, these are called Little red fruits. They are good whether eaten fresh or used to make infused water and are quite popular in the market too."

"But they aren't expensive, selling for just a few bucks."

"To earn more, I need to venture deeper into the mountain to find better mountain goods."

Just as Xu Yang had picked a cluster of Little red fruits, the foolish roe deer behind him immediately cozied up with its big face and opened its mouth to eat.

Xu Yang was left speechless by this creature.

"Here, have it all, eat as much as you want."

He handed over the Little red fruits, and the foolish roe deer happily started eating.

[Broadcaster, you can tolerate this? Give it a smack!]

[If I were you, I'd definitely beat it!]

[Broadcaster, want a secure job? Here is your chance, kill it and you'll have one!]

[Not just a secure job, but also iron bars, iron doors, and iron chains!]

Comments kept rolling continuously.

The presence of a foolish roe deer made the live stream much more interesting.

Xu Yang continued walking forward.

Soon, he arrived at the first location marked by the system.

Seeing the scene ahead, Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh.

"Wow, hit the jackpot!"

In a lush area, there lay two thick tree trunks on the ground.

On the trunks, dense clusters of golden mushrooms grew. These mushrooms, like blooming flowers, were bright and beautiful.

They were exceptionally conspicuous in the dense forest.

The drone's camera pointed forward, allowing the viewers to see the golden mushrooms in the forest.

Everyone's expression subtly changed.

What is that?

This scene was spectacular, with two fallen thick trunks, covered in plentiful golden mushrooms, blossoming like flowers.

Xu Yang's voice came from the live broadcast.

"Today's luck is really good."

"These are called Yuhuang Mushrooms, also known as golden mushrooms, a type that grows in Changbai Mountain."

"This kind of mushroom is especially delicious and generally grows in the cool shade at the base of trees."

"If we come across a tree covered with golden mushrooms, we call it a 'big explosion'."

"To put it simply, it's like in a free-exploration video game, finding a rare treasure chest in the wild."

"Now there are cultivated Yuhuang Mushrooms, but the cultivated ones never grow as large as the wild ones."

"Hit the jackpot!"

Hearing Xu Yang's words, the viewers in the live broadcast became restless.

[Did the host find more mountain goods?]

[It must have been planted in advance!]

[These can't be planted in advance, and considering how vast Changbai Mountain is, it's normal to come across so many mountain goods.]

[Can someone tell me how much these are worth?]

The viewers' enthusiasm soared.

At this moment, the foolish roe deer also followed from behind.

It seemed convinced that following Xu Yang would lead to tasty treats, so it kept following.

Xu Yang took off the bamboo basket on his back, put on a pair of white gloves, squatted by the tree trunk, and began picking mushrooms.

Yuhuang Mushrooms are genuinely great stuff and one of the mountain runner's favorite mountain goods.

They're easy to sell at a good price.

"Many people are not very familiar with the characteristics of mushrooms. Mushrooms often grow in large patches, and Yuhuang Mushrooms are also a type of mushroom that will explode in growth if the environment is right."

"Moreover, picking mature Yuhuang Mushrooms helps the ecosystem quickly rejuvenate."

"Today's Mountain Rushing luck is also good."

Xu Yang continued to speak unhurriedly.

He placed all the mushrooms in the bamboo basket, and the roe deer watched from the side without moving its mouth.

Perhaps it thought the mushrooms didn't taste good.

Or perhaps it was already full from having eaten cookies and little red fruits earlier.

This was perfect.

"These Yuhuang Mushrooms are of very good quality and being wild, they could sell for about 20 to 25 per pound in the market, totaling probably eight or nine pounds, so all in all, these Yuhuang Mushrooms could fetch about two hundred bucks."

Xu Yang then revealed the answer.

Two hundred bucks, not a lot.

But for many mountain runners, it was already a nice income.

After all, earnings here weren't that high.

At this time, special effects for gift donations appeared in the live broadcast, as someone sent Xu Yang a gift.

Actually, throughout the live broadcast, there were always small gifts.

Some were free, others not very valuable.

Xu Yang glanced at the live broadcast and said:

"Thank you for the support, just tailor your gifts to your budget, and if you enjoy the stream, simply watching longer is great."

What Xu Yang really cared about was not the gifts but the popularity value of the live room, which could be used for system lotteries.

In this way, Xu Yang harvested all the Yuhuang Mushrooms from the two trees, filling the bamboo basket to the brim.

Seeing a basket full of Yuhuang Mushrooms, Xu Yang was satisfied.

For a mountain runner, moments like this were the most joyful.

He then picked up the basket and headed towards the second treasure location.

The foolish roe deer still followed him.

The drone continued filming from above.

The ecosystem of the deep mountains was excellent, and Xu Yang occasionally had to push through tall grass to continue forward.

Though his body was a bit tired, his spirits were high knowing treasures lay ahead. With anticipation in his heart, his motivation was boundless.

About fifteen minutes later, Xu Yang found the second treasure marked by the Treasure Compass.

"Look over there, something's there!"

"New discovery!"

Xu Yang suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with excitement.

Hearing his voice, the viewers immediately became restless.

What? Found another treasure?
