535 Looking for the Elephant Mound
Gu Fengchun is not interested in ivory.Although he knew that ivory could bring him huge wealth, he didn't care.On the bottom floor of the Burning Spirit Palace in the Great Forbidden Land, there are all gold and jewels, Gu Fengchun didn't have the slightest greed, and this ivory is also much lower grade than those treasures, let alone arouse Gu Fengchun's enthusiasm. desire.
But what Gu Fengchun was interested in was whether the mammoth would return to the family tomb before dying like an elephant.This is what he cares most about.
"Gu, this mammoth is probably going to die soon," Anderson said.It seemed that he also saw the weakness of the mammoth's body.Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "That's right, its body is already very weak, and it fought another battle with Spinosaurus japonicus, which consumed a lot of physical strength, and I'm afraid it won't last long."
"Gu, have you ever heard of such a legend? No, it's about elephants. It is said that every elephant will return to their ethnic cemetery before they die. There are countless elephant bones and ivory piled up there. . . . " Anderson gushed.And more and more excited.
Gu Fengchun knew that Anderson was an adventurer at heart, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled all the way from the Netherlands to the East to find wealth.From his words, Gu Fengchun could hear that Anderson wanted to follow the mammoth. It seemed that he wanted to get the tusks of those mammoths.Gu Fengchun shook his head, this guy has stayed on this isolated island for hundreds of years, why is he still so greedy?Even if they got the ivory, how could they transport it out?But he also understands Anderson's feelings. Adventurers are people who pursue wealth and honor for a living. No matter where they are, this is their essence.
Gu Fengchun thought for a while and said, "You mean, we can follow this mammoth and see if it can take us to the elephant grave?"
Anderson grinned and said: "Yes, dear Gu, you know, we have been in this isolated island for a long time, and this time, if we can leave here with your blessing, we also need a sum of money to leave this place, Go back to our hometown!" Anderson was telling the truth.In their impression, they have stayed on this island for decades, the boats have long since disappeared, the goods have been lost, and even the pants on their bodies are given by Gu Fengchun. supplies for their return to the Netherlands.
Gu Fengchun smiled slightly.It is difficult for him to explain that times have changed. Hunting and killing elephants and selling ivory are illegal activities. Although this phenomenon still exists in the international black market, Gu Fengchun can't find a buyer.This mammoth is something that has long been extinct. Just explaining where these fangs came from is enough for them to explain.Besides, it is still unknown whether he can take these four people out of here.Gu Fengchun thought for a while, and he was very worried that the sudden change of direction would delay the trip. If the island suddenly appeared in the real world, it would be difficult for Chen Si to find himself.But after thinking about it, he followed Anderson's wishes.There is no other reason, because Gu Fengchun is also curious.
Anderson suddenly raised his index finger, anyway, his lips told everyone not to speak.Gu Fengchun saw that it was the mammoth that slowly moved its body and walked slowly into the dense depths of the forest.Gu Fengchun was overjoyed.This is exactly the position towards the lake!He and Anderson looked at each other, and Anderson was also surprised, but this was a good thing, at least they didn't have to delay their trip to the lake for tracking and mammoth.
The mammoth staggered out of the road, and while walking, slowly rolled up the fresh and tender leaves beside it and stuffed them into its mouth.But these leaves often fall in the mouth.Obviously a little powerless.The five of them did not dare to get too close, and stayed three to forty meters behind the mammoth, slowly groping forward.
By this time, the sky had gradually darkened.It was getting dark very quickly in the forest.Seeing the night fall, Anderson was very worried. He knew the danger in the forest was great, but he refused to give up the mammoth he had been following for a long time.As the mammoth walked, its speed gradually increased.It seems that it is a sign of returning to the light.Any kind of creature will have a period of abnormal spirit before the end of life, and the same is true for people. When they are dying, they will often wake up like a healthy person, but after this moment, that person will soon lose their hair.
"Gu, pay attention to your feet and surroundings. It's getting late now, and poisonous snakes and all kinds of nasty and disgusting things are coming out to move around." Anderson reminded.Due to the language barrier, Yukos, Nicholas and Davy Jones all communicated in private, and had nothing to say to Gu Fengchun.
"Would you like to make a little fire?" Gu Fengchun asked.
Anderson shook his head, and said solemnly: "Don't be like this. There is a very scary moth here. It will approach the fire when it sees it. It is full of poison, and it will cause large-scale skin ulcers if it is contaminated. , I almost died in their poisonous kisses, but fortunately the saliva of the boa constrictor I raised on Tuesday has the ability to heal it, otherwise I would have gone to see God a long time ago." After finishing speaking, he also opened his clothes, Gu Fengchun Taking advantage of the dim light, he saw a taupe scar on Anderson's chest and back.When Anderson was naked at first, Gu Fengchun didn't notice this, and thought it was Anderson who was smeared with dye.
Seeing such a big scar, Gu Fengchun was shocked.It can be seen that Anderson has experienced a lot of dangers here. From this, it can be seen how difficult it is for these four people to survive on this island.
"Hey, it changed its course." Anderson said suddenly.Seeing the mammoth suddenly turn around and walk to the other side, Anderson's expression was very unnatural. 'My God, that's the valley of death. A trace of fear appeared on Anderson's face.
"Valley of Death? Where did it come from?" Gu Fengchun had never heard Anderson mention these things.
Anderson suppressed his voice and said: "It's one of the two canyons on this island, and it's the deepest and longest one. I once climbed to the highest point of the island with David and found this place. The aquatic plants there are very rich and very It is suitable for the growth of plants. When we explored, we found that it is very fertile. It often thunders and rains for no reason, and animals often die. There are a lot of dead animals in the valley. We tried to go in, but we didn’t walk dozens of steps. We were dizzy and almost couldn't come back. David said that was where the devil lives, so we never set foot there again." Anderson finally made a sign of the cross on his chest.
Gu Fengchun was not that surprised after listening.The reason is very simple, because Gu Fengchun knows that such places are not uncommon in this world.If there is frequent thunder, it is likely that there are rich iron ore or other minerals there, and dizziness in the canyon, it may be that the canyon is not ventilated, and there may be rich carbon dioxide in it.Gu Fengchun touched the rucksack. There were still a few packs of oxygen in it, which could provide each person with oxygen for about an hour. With this thing, he felt that the so-called Valley of Death would not be very scary.
Gu Fengchun slowly analyzed these things with Anderson.Anderson naturally didn't know that there were oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide in the air, and he didn't know that the dense thunderstorms there could be explained scientifically. After listening to Gu Fengchun's explanation, I don't know if he understood it, but the light in his eyes The fear obviously disappeared, and after his explanation, the emotions of Yukos and others were not so serious.And it was they who wanted to find the mammoth's elephant grave. With the stimulation of wealth, the danger was not worth mentioning at all.
"How long will it take to reach the Valley of Death?" Gu Fengchun asked.
"If we ignore the mammoth, we can reach it in about half an hour. The Valley of Death is to the west of the forest. There is also a lake there, but it is very small, and the lake water is very bitter. It should be the seawater pouring in. , can’t drink at all,” Anderson said.
Gu Fengchun nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said to Anderson: "Let's continue to follow this mammoth. So far, we don't know whether it will change its course again. If it changes its course again, we want to find It won't be easy."
Anderson et al.The mammoth, like the elephant, is good at hiding its family graves.No matter how smart humans are, how carefully they follow the dying elephant, hoping to find the elephant grave, but the elephant can find the shadow behind it, and often leads these people into the vast forest, letting these people Lost, and finally died tragically in the forest.Although this mammoth has never dealt with human beings, but as a close relative of elephants, it is estimated that it will have some tricks like this.
However, Gu Fengchun's worries are superfluous. The island has a limited area and cannot be as vast as the African continent.On this island, it is easier to leave the forest even if you get lost.And the mammoth didn't notice that someone was following behind, and walked slowly towards the holy place of the race, staggering all the way.
Unsurprisingly, the mammoth really walked towards the place called "Valley of Death" by Anderson and others. As it approached the Valley of Death, Gu Fengchun couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.The name is not an exaggeration at all. There are corpses of various animals scattered around the valley, some are still in a state of decay, and some have become white and white bones.And there is an open land in front of the valley, full of fragrant grass, blue and green.Gu Fengchun nodded secretly. It should be due to the frequent thunderstorms, the nitrogen in the air is converted into nitrogen fertilizer, and there are many dead animals and sufficient nutrition here, which makes such a dense grassland.However, there is no big tree near the grassland. It seems that there are frequent thunder and lightning, and the taller plants cannot survive.
But what Gu Fengchun was interested in was whether the mammoth would return to the family tomb before dying like an elephant.This is what he cares most about.
"Gu, this mammoth is probably going to die soon," Anderson said.It seemed that he also saw the weakness of the mammoth's body.Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "That's right, its body is already very weak, and it fought another battle with Spinosaurus japonicus, which consumed a lot of physical strength, and I'm afraid it won't last long."
