I run a farm, what the heck is this post-apocalyptic farm owner system?

Chapter 121 The Takin in the Mountains, a Class I Protected Animal!

Xu Ran planned to go for a walk in the mountains and catch a few fish.

Catching fish requires tools, but the mountain paths are difficult to walk on, and carrying a fishing box would be too tiring, so Xu Ran simply carried a backpack and a simple fishing tackle.

At the same time, Xu Ran also invited wild boars and Border Collies.

Both of them are very strong fighters.

Wild boars are strength-based tanks, possessing high strength and defense.

Xiao Hui is an agile assassin with a fast reaction speed.

There are many venomous snakes and insects in the mountains, and these two can spot them in time.

We won't bring any other animals.

This process is a good opportunity to film some videos and post them online, since Xu Ran is now also doing self-media.

When Li Wu and Wang Hai heard that Xu Ran was going into the mountains, they volunteered to go with him.

They're both pretty adventurous and like to be out and about. Having two more people means they can bring more tools, like fishing rods and nets.

Xu Ran agreed.

The group headed straight for the mountains and forests.

The three walked ahead, with Little Gray and Melon Seeds following behind.

Some villagers came out to graze their cattle and spotted the huge wild boar behind Xu Ran in the distance. They immediately pulled their cattle aside to avoid it.

This wild boar is quite famous in Nanshan Village; everyone in the village knows it.

It is the mythical beast that opens the gate to the farm.

Sometimes, when village officials encounter wild boars damaging farmland and are unable to handle the situation, they will come to the farm and ask Xu Ran for help.

In reality, it meant ordering Xu Ran to send out a giant wild boar to fight and drive away the wild boars.

Although I know this wild boar is very obedient to Xu Ran, I still have to avoid it when I see it in real life.

It's just too big.

Xu Ran remained calm and continued walking forward.

The wild boar followed slowly behind.

The group headed straight into the mountains.

During the process, Li Wu held a phone stand in his hand and used his phone to shoot video footage.

This trip will allow me to edit a complete video.

Each segment plays a few seconds of footage, sharing glimpses of rural life.

The three of them were very familiar with the mountain, and knew exactly where the lakes and rivers were.

So they traveled very fast.

Little Gray seemed to have broken free of its seal, running around everywhere. After all, Xu Ran usually didn't let it leave the farm, except to pick up packages.

Now that we've finally made it into the mountains, we can explore the whole place.

The wild boar was much calmer, like a loyal guard, staying by his side every step of the way.

Not long after, Xu Ran arrived at the lakeside.

Li Wu set up his phone and filmed Xu Ran fishing.

Having not been to the mountains for a long time, Xu Ran felt refreshed all over, and his physical functions were enhanced by the skills of the [Mountain Expert].

He felt the mountain breeze, the babbling of the river, and the fresh scent in the air even more clearly.

Without wasting any words, Xu Ran picked up the fishing rod and began preparing bait to fish.

"Ran-ge, are you participating in the fishing competition again this year?"

"You're a champion in fishing competitions; fishing enthusiasts would definitely love to see you participate."

At this moment, Wang Hai asked with a smile.

"I'll have the chance to go once, but I won't participate in too many activities."

"Last year was just incredibly lucky; who knows what will happen next?"

Xu Ran responded with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, he had already cast the bait into the water.

In just a moment, a fish took the bait.

"We caught a fish! Hey! That's amazing!"

Seeing the fishing float bobbing, Wang Hai was immediately dumbfounded.

Li Wu, who was standing nearby, also came over with a net to help catch the fish.

Xu Ran easily began reeling in the line, and soon, he caught a silver carp.

The fish wasn't very big, but it was still quite good.

Life in the mountains is wonderful!

Wild fishing areas like this are hard to find outside.

After all, there are many wild animals here, including giant pandas, black bears, takins, and lynxes, so most people wouldn't dare to come in.

Xu Ran has absolutely nothing to worry about.

He was fishing here, and Guazi was guarding him nearby.

At the slightest sound, Guazi's gaze would immediately sweep over that direction.

Just then, an adult wild boar came to the lake to drink water. As soon as it emerged from the grass, it saw Guazi staring at it menacingly.

The adult wild boar was immediately frightened and turned to run away.

This scene was truly amazing.

Xu Ran hadn't fished in a long time, so he just sat by the lake, leisurely fishing.

The lake surface was rippling with waves, countless ripples spreading across it.

It felt quite pleasant.

He still catches fish quickly.

After all, Xu Ran possessed fishing skills, so fishing was too easy for him.

After catching several fish, Xu Ran stood up and said to Li Wu and Wang Hai, "You two keep fishing. Take the fish back with you. I'm going for a walk in the mountains."

"no problem!"

The two immediately agreed.

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to go into the mountains alone, because if something happens, there will be no one to help you.

However, with wild boars following him, Xu Ran was perfectly fine.

The scenery in the mountains is quite beautiful.

Xu Ran opened the system panel, brought up the rare plant distribution map, and viewed the rare plants on the map.

Various rare and precious mushrooms immediately appeared on the map.

Xu Ran no longer needs to sell mushrooms to make money, so there's no need for her to deliberately look for them.

I just picked some termite mushrooms and porcini mushrooms to satisfy my craving.

Xu Ran continued walking forward, when suddenly a golden takin appeared in front of him.

The takin is one of the four treasures of the Qinling Mountains and is also a first-class protected animal.

These guys usually live in high-altitude areas, but during the mating season, if a bull fails to win mating rights, it may come down the mountain to vent its anger.

Therefore, the takin is the most dangerous animal.

Within the Qinling Mountains, there have been numerous instances of takins injuring people.

Most takins are gentle, but some can be quite aggressive.

This guy is beautiful, with golden fur, and you can tell at a glance that he's much more expensive than the big yellow ox spirit.

The takin also noticed Xu Ran, and it stared intently at him with a hint of aggression.

Xu Ran remained very calm.

The moment the takin showed hostility, the wild boar growled, issuing a warning. The border collier also crouched down, adopting an attack stance, baring its teeth and growling, slowly approaching the takin.

The moment those two made their move, the takin's hostility dissipated considerably.

It is not afraid of Border Collies, but when faced with a wild boar of such a large size, the takin still has to consider whether it is worth the effort.

"I'm warning you, don't lay a hand on me, or you'll face the consequences."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a Class I protected animal!"

"My farm has two Class I protected animals."

Xu Ran looked at the takin and called out to it.

The two first-class protected animals he mentioned were the giant panda and the crested ibis, both of which had lived on the farm.

Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, the takin realized that he was not someone to be trifled with, so it turned around and ran back up the mountain.

I reckon it went back to its clan.

"I never expected to see a takin."

"It's a pity I forgot to take a picture."

Perhaps it was only after the fact that he realized this, and he sighed with emotion.

At this moment, the wild boar and the border collie returned to Xu Ran's side.

Having bodyguards feels great.

Based on their fighting prowess, Xu Ran could practically roam freely in the mountains.

After all, wild boars have no natural enemies and are not afraid at all.

"Let's go for a stroll. It's not easy to get out here."

"Let's see if we can find some good treasures."

Xu Ran spoke to the wild boar and the Border Collie.

He walked forward, and the two men immediately followed.

In the mountains and forests, such a combination looks quite peculiar.

Yet, some of it makes sense.

Xu Ran came here purely for a spring outing today. Since this mountain is quite far from the one where the giant pandas live, Xu Ran didn't go to see the giant pandas.

I just took a stroll and picked some mushrooms.

In addition, Xu Ran also encountered a deer in the mountains.

He had previously completed the "Conquer the Tufted Deer" mission, and the reward was "Deer Affinity," meaning that deer would not be afraid of him.

Xu Ran told the wild boar and the border grazing sheep to stay put, and then walked towards the deer.

The deer stared at Xu Ran and actually didn't run away, but instead let Xu Ran approach.

At that moment, a look of joy appeared in Xu Ran's eyes.

It felt good to be trusted by animals, which made him feel exceptionally comfortable.
