Chapter 730: Chapter 314: One Person, One Horse: The Most Eye-Catching Participant in the Hunting Grounds (2)

…

Li Younan started the live stream as requested by the show organizers.

This hunting competition is completely different in nature from the show “Alone in the Wilderness.”

“Alone in the Wilderness” is a show itself, so all video content must undergo exclusive control and unified editing.

However, this hunting competition, with a prize less than “Alone in the Wilderness,” is essentially just a competition, not a show, so each participant can start their own live stream, and the content won’t be restricted by copyright.

The requirement for each participant to start a live stream is primarily to prevent cheating among the participants.

The first task point is located in the highland meadow area, several kilometers from the central building complex of the ranch; once you leave the core ranch, there is no road ahead, it’s pure wild tracks.

The path toward the highland meadow area isn’t difficult to navigate, with gravel plains along the way. Li Younan leisurely rides on the back of a little white horse, his backpack also relaxingly hanging on the horse’s rear.

He is live streaming at the moment but, to save battery, hasn’t picked up his phone to read the barrage on the live streaming platform. Of course, another reason is that in the United States he doesn’t have many fans. Having just started the stream, not many people enter the live room; he glanced earlier and saw that there were only dozens of people in there, so he didn’t bother reading the barrage while heading to the task point.

Compared to his leisurely pace, the other competing hunters seemed much more tense.

Li Younan counted; including himself, there were only 7 hunters on horseback.

The other six horses and their hunters had long since disappeared.

The remaining 10 or so hunter teams, even on foot, left Li Younan far behind.

However, Li Younan wasn’t in the least bit anxious; instead, he looked around with great interest, admiring the beautiful scenery of the land.

The little white horse beneath him also gradually became less tense, following Li Younan’s rhythm, leisurely strolling along.

Because he was live-streaming the entire time, the camera, like a button, was clipped to his collar, with Li Younan’s voice and the scenery in front of him transmitted live to the stream.

He said with a cheerful smile, “Honestly, folks, the scenery here is really quite nice.”

“Yes, a cowboy’s life should indeed be like this.”

“Oh, it reminds me of a cartoon I watched as a kid — it was made by the French, I think it’s called ‘Lucky Luke,’ with the main character being a righteous cowboy in the Wild West who could draw his gun faster than his own shadow.”

“Right, his horse was named Jolly, and it was also a white horse.

“I wonder if any of you have seen that cartoon.”

Li Younan patted the horse’s neck and said, “Scaredy-cat, I’ll just call you Jolly then.”

The little white horse snorted a few times, seeming displeased with the name, then became compliant once Li Younan gave its rear a pat.

In the live room.

Most of the viewers in the live room at that time were Li Younan’s fans who had entered after receiving the stream notification.

His first batch of fans mostly came from his previous beach surfing, so a lot of them found the first-person horseback riding view uninteresting and swiped away once they saw what it was.

Those who stayed were divided into two groups.

One group knew about Li Younan from his surprising performance on “Alone in the Wilderness”; the other group only knew of his surfing prowess and nothing else about him.

Of course, given that his season of “Alone in the Wilderness” was very popular, along with his Mount Everest descent experience, quite a few people abroad know about Li Younan.

However, since Li Younan hasn’t created any major buzz recently, most of his potential fans are unaware that he’s traveling in the United States and has opened several international accounts.

At this time, some people in the live room who were uninformed started asking, “Is this guy participating in a hunting competition or a cowboy sightseeing tour?”

“I’ve been watching this stream for over ten minutes now, and honestly, I feel so bored. Why isn’t he even a little bit anxious?”

Only a handful of people familiar with Li Younan explained, “Trust me, this guy’s a freak who can kill bears with a bow and arrow. If I were him, I wouldn’t be worried either; the championship is definitely his.”

Even so, the live room still had only a few dozen people, remaining lukewarm.

Even some of Li Younan’s wilderness fans were puzzled, asking, “Isn’t this Li Younan?! Why is his live room so empty?”

“Who is this guy? Is he famous?”

“I suggest you search for the wilderness bear hunter videos, then you’ll understand.”

Meanwhile, Li Younan was leisurely advancing on horseback, finally arriving at the first task point — the highland meadow area.

Li Younan, riding his horse, stood at the edge of a highland meadow at an altitude of 400 meters. At this moment, the meadow had completely shed its late-autumn golden hue, and due to the dry and clear air, the view reached the canyon edge 5 kilometers away.

The gray-black limestone peaks in the distance contrasted sharply with the meadow’s warm yellow, and the undulating nearby terrain cast shadows of varying lengths in the winter sun.

Li Younan dismounted, curiously plucking some plants from the ground, saying, “This kind of grass is called blue alfalfa, this one’s needle grass. Even though these dry grasses are very short, their color blends well with the brown-black hide of wild boars, providing excellent camouflage protection for them.”
