Xu Yang was lying in the tent, unable to fall asleep for the time being.
Today's experience was quite interesting.
Not to mention encountering black bears and macaques, just finding a treasure trove was enough to make him excited.
A farmer at the foot of Changbai Mountain experienced many strange things.
Because of the treasure hunting compass and system, everything seems to be different.
After a day of climbing the mountain, Xu Yang was a little tired. Gradually he calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Xu Yang got up early.
After tidying up, he planned to continue his treasure hunt mission.
After all, this was the main reason he had come to the Formosa Mountains.
The live broadcast is still going on as usual.
When netizens entered the live broadcast room, the first sentence they said was:
[Old Xu, it’s great to see you alive! ]
[He's still alive. I thought he was going to die! ]
Xu Yang glanced at the comments and smiled helplessly. He could only say:
"Thank you for your concern."
"morning."
The daily routines of animals are very different from those of humans.
At this time, some animals still come out to move around.
For example, rabbits and mice prefer to be active at dusk and dawn when the temperature is relatively low and it is not so hot, making it more comfortable for them to move around.
Xu Yang walked for a while and chose to trigger the treasure hunt mission.
[Trigger treasure hunt mission: Find the lost clouded leopard! ]
[Task Description: Clouded leopards are believed to be extinct in Taiwan. Please find the clouded leopards and take a selfie.]
[Quest Reward: Passive Skill: Cold Resistance]
[Improve the host's cold resistance, the effect is better during exercise, but it will speed up energy consumption. 】
At this time, the task panel appeared.
"It's a clouded leopard again. What a coincidence."
Xu Yang thought with a smile.
Among all the first-class protected animals in Taiwan, the most precious is the clouded leopard, and the clouded leopard here is a completely new subspecies.
However, due to their beautiful fur, they were hunted by humans, causing a sharp decline in their numbers over the past few decades. In 2013, the Formosa clouded leopard was declared extinct.
Someone later observed the movements of clouded leopards, indicating that there were still clouded leopards here, but this has not been confirmed.
“These guys aren’t extinct yet, but I don’t want to disturb them by livestreaming.”
“This time, there will be no live broadcast.”
Xu Yang thought to himself.
We still have to look for clouded leopards.
And Xu Yang knew what would happen next.
His discovery of the extinct clouded leopard will surely become a hot topic in Taiwan, and related news will be everywhere. After that, relevant departments will definitely come in to look for clouded leopards, on the one hand for research and on the other hand for protection.
But this may not be a good thing for clouded leopards.
When in Yunnan, it didn’t matter if I photographed clouded leopards, because everyone knows that there are clouded leopards there, and the country is protecting them.
But here, if an extinct animal reappears, it would be of great significance and would attract more attention.
"They probably don't want to attract attention. There's no need to accept this traffic."
Xu Yang made a decision in his heart.
The system has delineated the approximate activity area of the clouded leopard.
Today's clouded leopards have been passed down from generation to generation and are now very alert. They are absolutely at the highest level of vigilance against humans.
Normally, they are invisible to humans.
But Xu Yang has the skill of "favorability of clouded leopard". Perhaps he is one of the few people who can cause the appearance of clouded leopard.
But such skills may bring bad consequences.
"There's something wrong with the drone. I'll check it out and I'll broadcast it live to you guys later."
"It's not flying very steadily."
At this time, Xu Yang looked up at the drone camera and said to netizens.
No one noticed that the camera was unstable, but Xu Yang had already turned off the live broadcast, so everyone continued to watch other videos.
Xu Yang put away the drone and continued to move forward.
This time, he was alone wandering in the jungle, and no one knew where he was.
In fact, it is more interesting to broadcast live in the mountains, which gives you a lively feeling. Walking alone in the mountains is a bit lonely.
Xu Yang walked all the way inside.
He has arrived at the area where clouded leopards are active.
The Formosa Clouded Leopard is recognized as the most precious wild animal in Formosa and has always been ranked first.
But now it has been declared extinct.
Xu Yang stood there, looking around.
At this moment, a little guy hiding in the tree noticed Xu Yang.
It is a little reserved and a little curious.
There is an indescribable sense of closeness about Xu Yang.
In the end, the little clouded leopard couldn't suppress his curiosity and climbed down from the tree carefully.
Xu Yang also noticed it.
He clapped his hands towards the little clouded leopard, motioning it to come over.
A hint of excitement appeared in Xu Yang's eyes.
There really are clouded leopards alive!
It is always depressing to hear the news of the extinction of the clouded leopard on this island.
However, the system prompted that the clouded leopard was still alive, which was very encouraging.
And now that Xu Yang saw it with his own eyes, the feeling was even more peculiar.
The little clouded leopard only looked at Xu Yang for a few times, then walked slowly towards him step by step. No one saw this scene.
If discovered, it would definitely become a hot topic.
It is so memorable to discover the precious and extinct clouded leopard in Taiwan.
But this only makes sense for humans. It is definitely bad news for clouded leopards.
The clouded leopard came to Xu Yang and rubbed against his hand.
Xu Yang stroked it and felt it was particularly smooth.
Their fur is really nice, with beautiful colors, very soft and good warmth retention.
It is for this reason that they are hunted extensively.
"Cats still look cute."
Xu Yang looked at the clouded leopard and couldn't help but admire it.
"You have to live well."
"No one will bother you here, so live a peaceful life."
Xu Yang touched it and said to it.
It’s not clear whether the clouded leopard understood or not, it was just enjoying Xu Yang’s touch.
It has been living in fear all this time, and it rarely feels safe around Xu Yang.
There is a feeling of being protected by elders.
Xu Yang was not in a hurry to leave, so he just played with it for a while.
The system prompted him that the mission had been completed, and Xu Yang also gained the ability to resist cold.
This skill only makes him more resistant to cold than ordinary people, but it is not too outrageous, so he should still be afraid of the cold.
Xu Yang played with the clouded leopard for a long time.
Feeling that the time was about right, Xu Yang decided to continue on his journey.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. See you again if we're lucky."
"Live well."
He fed the clouded leopard some dried meat, then touched its head and left.
The clouded leopard looked at Xu Yang's back, then looked around vigilantly, and then quickly ran to the tree and hid itself again.
Only the forest can witness the story of one man and one leopard.
After walking for more than half an hour, Xu Yang finally turned on the live broadcast again.
Everything was going on as usual and no one knew what was going on.
The forest was as lush as ever, with all kinds of wild flowers blooming, mosquitoes aplenty, and occasionally poisonous snakes running around.
It was almost noon. Xu Yang wiped the sweat off his head and said:
"This place is warmer and has more lush vegetation, but there are also more parasites and mosquitoes, so if you stay in the forest for too long, you'll easily get infected by parasites."
“This is more dangerous.”
"Some forests are airy and dry, and it's OK to live in them for a while without much impact."
"In places like Siberia, farms are in the forests and farmers live well."
"But if there were a farm in a place like this, it wouldn't be long before people and livestock would get sick."
“Parasites are still horrible.”
Xu Yang frowned when he saw a huge caterpillar lying on a flower, then he deliberately walked around it a few steps and walked from the other side.
Netizens noticed the invisible dangers in the forest and admired Xu Yang even more.
[Old Xu, only you dare to go in like this, no ordinary person would dare to go in! ]
[Be careful in the warm forest, something bad could happen if you’re not careful! ]
[The scenery is really beautiful, but if I were in there, I would definitely feel creepy. ]
[Ordinary people are so scared that their legs go limp! ]
Xu Yang glanced at the map and found that he was still in the deep mountains.
He found a relatively flat direction and planned to walk out along the mountain road.
Then, Xu Yang chose to redeem the treasure hunt mission for the last time.
[Trigger treasure hunt mission: photo mission, Treasure Island Tree Frog! ]
[Task Description: Find the Baodao tree frog by the river and take a photo with five tree frogs.]
[Task Reward: Frog Recipe, 50 Dried Snow Clams]
When Xu Yang saw the treasure hunt mission, he couldn't help but smile.
The task is quite interesting. You can take a photo with the Northern Tree Frog and get the Northeast Snow Clam as a reward.
They're all frogs anyway.
Snow frog is now being farmed on a large scale in the Northeast and is very valuable, especially among the wealthy people in the South, who are particularly fond of buying it, so business has been good.
Xu Yang himself does not plan to raise snow frogs, after all, he only likes cute animals.
Regardless, the mission must be accomplished.
Xu Yang went to look for tree frogs again.
The Formosa tree frog is also a protected species, and its appearance is pretty good in the frog world, so it is acceptable to take selfies with it.
The task was not too difficult and Xu Yang completed it easily.
At this point, the number of treasure hunting compasses left is only the one added today.
Xu Yang used a treasure-hunting compass to locate the treasure and found two huge Antrodia cinnamomea from a wild Antrodia cinnamomea tree.
Antrodia cinnamomea is a fungus unique to Taiwan and is extremely expensive.
Seeing Xu Yang found Antrodia cinnamomea, the barrage of comments became lively again.
[As expected of a mountain hiker, I can find mountain products even in Taiwan! 】
[Wow! It’s wild Antrodia cinnamomea, this is really good stuff! ]
【Old Xu's treasure hunting ability is really not exaggerated! 】
[There is another delivery today! 】
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is as good as ever.
Just like before, Xu Yang can always find rare treasures in the mountains.
Xu Yang waved his hand calmly and said with a smile:
"Luck, it's all luck."
"As you all know, I have always had good luck." (End of this chapter)
