Chapter 50 -50: Are Humans That Awesome? Why Didn’t I Know?

[Streamer, are you really not afraid of encountering fierce beasts?]

In the live stream room, the viewers asked one after another.

Xu Yang shouldered his backpack, walking between relatively flat terrain and vegetation.

Many were concerned about his safety.

Xu Yang now held a goodwill card, feeling very confident inside.

At first, he was somewhat nervous, always on the lookout for signs of fierce beasts, but now he was much calmer, merely maintaining caution against poisonous snakes.

In fact, Xu Yang wouldn’t mind encountering a Northeast Tiger at all.

A wild Northeast Tiger, that’s a real treasure.

Before, he used a goodwill card to establish rapport with a female leopard, and now, he could use another to bond with a Northeast Tiger.

If he did, he’d really be walking sideways through Changbai Mountain.

“Don’t worry everyone, other than when facing tigers or wild boars, as long as I stay on my guard, there won’t be any problems,”

Xu Yang reassured the viewers.

In his hand, he grasped a stick for beating the grass, and a knife was strapped to his waist. He truly wasn’t afraid of most animals.

Thinking of something, Xu Yang chuckled and conversed with the audience:

“Let me ask everyone a question, do you know why human babies cry so loudly when they are born?”

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s question.

The tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream room were momentarily stunned.

What kind of odd question was that?

Why do babies cry?

They heard Xu Yang continue, “What I mean is, in nature, some animal cubs can run as soon as they are born; they have to escape.”

“Those that can’t run get eliminated.”

“Some cubs, on the other hand, are protected from birth. Even African lions go to great lengths to care for their young.”

“Only human offspring cry loudly as soon as they’re born, cry for a year or two. And it’s been this way since ancient times. Weren’t those primitive tribe people afraid of revealing their position to fierce beasts?”

The live stream room had been somewhat quiet, but Xu Yang’s question immediately sparked everyone’s interest.

Indeed.

Why can some animals run as soon as they’re born, while human babies cry from birth, and cry every day for a year or more?

Then, Xu Yang stopped and stood on a high spot, looking down at the vibrant forest below, and said in an indifferent manner:

“The reason is very simple, just four words.”

“Because they’re not afraid!”

“Under normal circumstances, no wild beast dares to hunt human babies. Because as soon as an animal preys on a human cub, the Hunter will exterminate that species within ten miles.”

“This kind of behavior is considered a grave provocation against humans, something Hunters won’t allow.”

“Simply put, aside from ferocious tigers and brainless wild boars, other animals don’t provoke humans. Even tigers, when they enter human territory, act scared and panicked.”

“When there are many humans, the animals are afraid.”

“Experienced Hunters entering the deep mountains never fear danger because they know they are the lords of all creatures.”

“So, don’t worry, there’s nothing dangerous.”

Xu Yang’s voice was gentle, even pleasant to the ear.

Yet his words left everyone feeling utterly stunned, like a thunderclap.

Many people had been worried about Xu Yang’s safety, but after his talk, it seemed humans were indeed the boss of the forest.

The viewers were a bit dumbstruck.

Are humans really that powerful?

I wasn’t aware of that!

Forget Changbai Mountain, even the small hill near our village, I’d be afraid to visit!

City dwellers and mountain dwellers have different perceptions of the mountain.

Xu Yang was too familiar with the mountains.

Animals aren’t dumb, living in the mountains for so long, they clearly understand who is the boss.

In the live stream footage, as Xu Yang looked down at the scene below, for some reason, at that moment, everyone suddenly felt that Xu Yang appeared tall and imposing.

It was as if there was an invisible aura around him.

[Brother Yang, I’m convinced! You’re the real deal!]

[Whether Changbai Mountain is wild or not, Brother Yang has the final say!]

[Wow, does this mean that in the mountains, humans are the real bosses? That powerful?]

[If it’s a group of people, there’s indeed nothing to fear, but going into the mountains alone is still too dangerous!]

[The streamer is experienced, just watch and relax, I’ve been watching for several days, this streamer’s got the real goods!]

[Indeed, Old Xu’s skills are amazing. I live in a village in the Northeast mountains, and I feel he’s even more capable than our village leader!]

[After all, he’s the man who conquered the wild boar!]

The barrage was bustling.

Xu Yang continued to walk deeper into the forest.

He had been travelling for most of the day, climbing over a mountain, and finally entered the deep mountain area.

The terrain in the deep mountain area was very complex, sometimes flat and sometimes facing sheer cliffs and precipices.

The number of plants around clearly increased, and there were even many Chinese herbs and wild vegetables to be seen.

Xu Yang took out a paper map, first confirmed his coordinates using his phone’s GPS, then marked them on the map, adjusted the distance with a compass, and drew a circle.

The audience again marveled at his professionalism.

After walking for most of the day, Xu Yang decided to use the Treasure Compass for the first time.

The invisible compass scanned the area within a three-kilometer radius.

The current Treasure Compass could scan down to a maximum depth of one meter, and couldn’t detect anything beyond that depth, which meant it would not find fossils, tombs, or similar treasures.

The capability of the compass would improve with subsequent upgrades.

Soon, the Treasure Compass located a treasure.

Xu Yang didn’t rush over immediately; instead, he continued to explore slowly, checking for any mountain goods along the way.

On this journey, he found many valuable items. He picked some that were easy to carry, such as the Red Ganoderma, but only observed herbs that covered a large area.

The mountains were full of treasures.

“It seems this area hasn’t been visited for a long time,” Xu Yang said as he walked on the grassy ground.

“It’s not easy to get in.”

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

Ahead was an abrupt cliff covered with weeds and some vines hanging straight down.

Looking down, it wasn’t too high, about ten meters approximately.

“Seems like there’s something good down there,” Xu Yang said, looking at the bottom.

This was yet another moment when the familiar audience was clueless.

Without knowledge and experience, one could walk right past treasures in the mountain, mistaking them for wild grass.

[What’s so good? I didn’t see anything!]

[Just tell us what you found and how much it’s worth, I’m in a hurry!]

[Another discovery?]

Xu Yang squatted at the edge of the cliff, pointed at a few clumps of green plants growing on the cliff, and said with a smile:

“I wasn’t sure at first, but now that I look at it, it really is.”

“This is Dendrobium, a type of Chinese herb that only grows on cliffs and very tall trees; the wild variety is extremely rare.”

“This is a valuable item, the foremost among the nine immortal herbs, and its price is sold by the gram.”

“However, wild Dendrobium is a second-level state-protected plant, and it is a crime to buy or sell it. Now that Dendrobium cultivation is quite common in the South, there is no need to pick the wild ones.”

A plant that looked almost like wild grass with long stems appeared on the screen, and the audience couldn’t see what was special about it.

If you say it’s valuable, it must be; after all, you know best.

At that moment, Xu Yang asked another question:

“There are many varieties of Dendrobium; this one belongs to one of the better types. Does anyone know which variety it is?”

The question was quite obscure, and the vast majority of the audience couldn’t even recognize Dendrobium, let alone its variety.

But the audience had a knack for chiming in on any topic.

So someone replied:

[It looks like the 82′ vintage to me!]

Upon seeing this comment, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

“This isn’t the 82′ Dendrobium; it can’t live that long.”

“This is the Iron Stone Orchid.”

“Wild Iron Stone Orchid is the foremost among the nine immortal herbs, which include Dendrobium, Tianshan Snow Lotus, a ginseng weighing three taels, a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, Hua Jia’s Fuling, deep mountain wild Lingzhi, Undersea Pearl, Cordyceps, and Congrong.”

“Most of them are protected.”

Xu Yang shared this bit of education.

In truth, most mountain runners, when they encountered protected Chinese herbs, would still pick them.

If they didn’t get reported for selling them privately, there was no problem, and usually, no one reported it.

On one hand, Xu Yang couldn’t pick them because he was live-streaming; on the other hand, he was a law-abiding citizen, still retaining the commendable virtues of contemporary young people.

Actually, a wild Dendrobium was not worth much, just a few hundred yuan, so it wasn’t necessary to pick it.

The Treasure Compass located national-grade protected plants, wild Iron Stone Orchid, on its first use.

He couldn’t pick them.

Xu Yang had a great attitude; after looking for a while, he continued on deeper into the mountains.
