Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start-Chapter 68 - Discovery in the River

Chapter 68 -68: Discovery in the River!

Xu Yang entered the back mountain, choosing to use the Treasure Compass for the first time.

Soon, he arrived at the location pinpointed by the Treasure Compass.

It was another massive trove of golden mushrooms.

A fallen tree trunk was densely covered with yellow mushrooms, resembling cooked scrambled eggs.

Seeing these mushrooms, a smile spread across Xu Yang’s lips.

The Treasure Compass did it again.

The feeling of finding something good was truly wonderful.

“Look here, I found a huge patch of golden mushrooms!”

“There are so many treasures in these mountains.”

“This is the moment a mountain runner is happiest.”

“I can make a good few hundred again.”

Xu Yang put little leopard down and also set down the bamboo basket, then started picking the golden mushrooms from the fallen tree trunk.

The sounds of insects and birds chirping in the woods were incessant.

Looking around, everything was awash with various shades of new green, sporadically dotted with other colored wildflowers and fruits.

The leopard lay down to rest, while Little Leopard frolicked at Xu Yang’s feet.

The scene looked exceedingly beautiful.

There were many viewers in the live streaming room.

Many people never send bullet comments; they just comfortably lie on the sofa or bed, watching this scene unfold.

The real, clear sensation of nature seemed to pass through the screen of their phones, bringing them a sense of peace.

Everyone watched as Xu Yang picked each golden mushroom from the tree trunk and placed them in the bamboo basket.

Until the trunk was clean.

The process was very relaxing.

A golden mushroom fell to the ground, and little leopard, out of curiosity, immediately ran over and bit directly into it.

It thought it was some tasty morsel.

But to its surprise, the mushroom tasted horribly.

“Wow!”

The little creature spit the mushroom out, its face full of disgust, and even let out a warning growl at the mushroom.

This scene was captured perfectly by the drone.

It amused the viewers, and they all burst into laughter.

Xu Yang noticed this and laughed as well.

“Raw mushrooms can’t be eaten; they need to be cooked to be tasty.”

“Besides, what’s a leopard doing eating mushrooms?”

He picked up Little Leopard and quickly soothed it.

The little guy was not yet pacified, snarling and baring its teeth at the mushroom.

Large felines only eat meat, unlike domestic cats.

Domestic cats eat everything, fruits, pastries, and there’s even a cat that loves big green peppers.

Its owner cleans the peppers, removing the seeds, and the small cat happily flaunts its enjoyment.

Xu Yang stroked Little Leopard’s head. Without any raw meat or milk bottle, he could only comfort it like this.

Little Leopard finally let go of the innocent mushroom.

Xu Yang continued on his way, searching for more mountain goods.

The leopard followed him too.

The female leopard seemed very relaxed; leopards regularly patrol their own territory, and its path conveniently coincided with Xu Yang’s mountain rushing route.

So, it didn’t feel tired either.

They walked, stopped, and walked again.

After a long time without finding any good mountain goods, Xu Yang chose to use the Treasure Compass for the second time.

Quickly, the Compass pinpointed a treasure spot on the map.

Xu Yang took out his phone for a look at the map and was somewhat surprised.

The location it pinpointed this time was actually in the middle of a stream!

Changbai Mountain is very rich in water resources, so the related aquatic resources are also exceptionally abundant.

“Could it be jade?” Xu Yang wondered to himself.

Changbai Jade is also very popular, and in previous years many people searched for stones in the rivers every day.

Especially in Changbai County, which is known for its abundance of Changbai Jade.

Strictly speaking, stones could also be considered a branch of mountain rushing, but most people in the mountains don’t understand stones; stones are much more complicated than mushrooms.

Some stones, though ordinary, become valuable due to their unique shapes or the special meanings attributed to them.

It requires experts to find them.

Xu Yang didn’t know much about stones, nor did he understand the stone market, but he would recognize jade if he saw it.

Xu Yang walked leisurely through the forest.

Further in, the forest became quieter, and for some reason, the viewers felt a bit nervous watching this scene.

The primordial forest feels entirely different from a tourist forest area.

Primordial forests always give off a feeling of lurking danger, as if at any moment, an unpredictable wild creature might suddenly appear.

The female leopard walked a few steps and looked around, checking for any signs of other wild animals.

Although leopards were not as powerful as tigers, they were still territorial animals and could be considered mountain lords.

“There’s a river ahead.”

“This mountain is really nice, with a river flowing at the back, indicating there’s a bit of a spiritual aura.”

“I’m planning to find some time to build a Mountain God Temple on this mountain.”

“Not for anything in particular, just feel like it should have a shrine.”

Xu Yang said as he looked at the stream in front of him.

The two leopards also saw the stream.

As Xu Yang walked along, he saw he was getting closer to the location determined by the Treasure Compass.

He was also clever, always taking a look himself before live streaming the treasure, to see if it could be live-streamed.

If it could be live-streamed, he’d act as though he had stumbled upon it by chance.

If not, he’d turn the drone’s camera away.

Sometimes Xu Yang felt his acting was quite good.

Actor’s Self-Cultivation

He stood by the river and glanced at the middle of the water.

Indeed, there was a stone.

Changbai County was rich in Changbai Jade, but in clear rivers like this, covered with stones at the bottom, turned over countless times by people, it was very difficult to find a piece of Changbai Jade.

The two leopards crouched by the river to drink water.

The movements of the big one and the small one, as they lay down, were exactly the same, looking incredibly cute.

The little leopard was learning how the female leopard drank water.

When the female leopard drank, she lifted her eyes to look around, and licked the water very slowly, one lap at a time.

Little Leopard, on the other hand, stuck out its tongue and licked furiously, with a very high frequency.

Still not quite learned it yet.

The water in this river was crystal clear, and the stones at the bottom were clearly visible.

At this moment, Xu Yang noticed something.

“No way, it looks like there are mole crickets.”

He set down his bamboo basket and then took off his shoes, rolled up his pant legs, and walked into the water.

The river was not deep, just deep enough to just cover his ankles.

The netizens in the live chat joked:

[The leopard is still drinking water; isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to soak your feet!]

[Perhaps the leopard just likes the smell!]

[Possible, my cat loves to smell stinky feet!]

[If they were a beautiful woman’s feet, I would also love to smell them!]

[Pervert at the front, please be mindful of the impact!]

Xu Yang stepped on the stones at the bottom of the river, and because they had been eroded by the water over time, they were exceptionally round and smooth, so they didn’t hurt his feet and were quite comfortable.

Xu Yang squatted down and moved a stone aside.

Then, he saw two dark-colored little crayfish appear in his view.

“They really are mole crickets!”

“Look here, everyone, there’s a discovery!”

Xu Yang caught a mole cricket and held it up.

The eyes of the netizens were instantly focused on it.

[Isn’t this a crayfish? Why is it black!]

[It’s a mole cricket! That’s good stuff!]

[Haven’t seen it in a long time!]

The live chat’s comments kept on flowing.

Xu Yang smiled and explained:

“Indeed, this is a mole cricket, also called Northeast River Crayfish, big-headed shrimp.”

“This kind of crayfish requires very high water quality and can’t survive the slightest pollution.”

“But in the three great rivers of the Northeast, you can still see a lot of mole crickets.”

“This is good stuff, it would sell for around five or six hundred yuan per kilogram.”

“I didn’t expect to find mole crickets on this mountain; it seems the water quality is really good!”

Xu Yang said contentedly.

At this moment, Little Leopard was meowing on the shore, wanting to get into the water.

“Xiao Hua, don’t come down!”

Xu Yang turned his head and saw, then quickly shouted.

“The water is very cool, with your small body you could easily catch a cold if you went in.”

“Stay on the shore and don’t move.”

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, Xiao Hua Leopard immediately stopped trying to enter the water.

It sat crouched on the shore, looking pitiful.

It was incredibly cute.
