Xu Yang continued panning for gold in the mountains.
The area surrounding the river was all dense forest, completely devoid of any traces of human activity.
Here in the deep mountains, danger lurked everywhere.
For animals, even drinking water by the river required utmost vigilance, as a fierce beast might pounce from anywhere.
Yet, Xu Yang felt no sense of caution at all.
Instead, his attention was focused entirely on the river water.
After all, he had two Leopards keeping him company on the shore.
With the large Leopard lying on the grass, no other animal dared to come close.
During this time, indeed, a Sika Deer hopped to the riverbank to drink water.
When it emerged, it locked eyes with the female Leopard.
Frightened, it turned tail and ran, leaping high and disappearing into the jungle in the blink of an eye.
The female Leopard was not hungry then, so she showed no desire to hunt.
