Chapter 114: Into the Elephant Mound by Mistake (01)

It was the skeleton of an elephant, and only a pair of white bones remained. Rhodes was lying on two upturned ivory. If he fell slightly, he might be pierced by the long ivory. But now he is lucky to have a little bruise on his body.

In fact, the pit was not deep. When they pulled Rhode up in a hurry, they saw that there was not just one elephant bone in the dim morning light, but densely packed, some of which had been broken into pieces, and some It is still intact, and there are still a few in a semi-rotten state. It seems that the smell they smelled before came from here... In the distance, they can see clusters of erratic phosphorous fires, and they are in a relatively large In the extension of the platform, the big pit below is like a pool, and their current position is the same as the shore, but the platform does not surround the entire big pit, and is connected to the stone wall halfway, which means that they cannot use this go around.

The sight in front of them made them feel shocked and terrified. They had never seen so many elephant bones, white skeletons and ivory groups. This sight was too shocking.

"Grandma's, this is an elephant grave..." It took Li Siming a long time to squeeze out such a sentence from between his teeth.

Legend has it that every elephant who has a premonition that his life is coming to an end will go to the depths of the jungle in the last few days of his limited life, and follow the elephant trail to the legendary destination—the elephant grave.An elephant grave is a place where elephants of a race are buried, a mysterious and hidden place, quietly and permanently with many dead elephants.

I heard that there is still a long journey from the colony to the elephant grave. They walk alone, recalling their lives, or dying sadly or happily.From birth to dying, even though the baby elephant has never been to or seen the elephant mound, at the last moment of its life, with the guidance of a mysterious power, it can accurately find the elephant mound belonging to its own species.There were hundreds or thousands of tusks there, and it was a huge treasure.

Elephants have extremely keen hearing, extremely sensitive sense of smell, and extremely accurate senses. As long as they are followed by living individuals or groups, they will bypass them, so no one has ever known what an elephant mound looks like.

"Is there really such a place?" Rhodes was also shocked by the sight in front of him.

"How much ivory do you have here?" Ma Zhong sighed looking at the pile of bones in the dark.

"At least a few hundred catties." Si Xuanyi said.

"It is said that the elephant tomb that no one can find was accidentally bumped into by us. What does this mean? Are we lucky?" Liang Rong looked a little scared when she saw the dancing phosphorous fire in the distance.

"I don't know." Si Xuanyi sat down and took a deep breath, "At least we haven't found out whether there is a way out of this elephant mound,"

As soon as the words came out, other people focused their attention on whether there were other roads here. Before, they were all sighing at the shock brought to them by this elephant grave.

"I don't know how big this elephant grave is. I can't see the situation ahead. It's too dark. Let's see the bright spots later." Li Siming said.

"It's better, I don't want to go back. If we can't find a way out after coming in for so long, it's a waste of time for us to go back and find the way again." Rhodes said.

"Go back? Are there ghosts behind? We are trapped in this damned place." Ma Zhong said angrily. The focus of his thinking was basically on whether he would meet the devils and how likely he was to die. These life-and-death matters on the issue.

"Seeing that these elephant bones are not completely seamless, we can pass through them. The opposite seems to be a canyon that continues to extend forward. We can try to pass through." Li Siming looked at the opposite side and said.

"It's dark, let's wait for the highlights, who knows what's down there?" Ma Zhong didn't dare to go down there, and finally said, "I think it's better to go back."

"Then you go back or stay here." Li Siming glanced at him, "We won't stay here with you."

"Then... forget it." Ma Zhong quickly shook his head, and his position has become a minority again. Why is he always out of tune with other people?Everyone is running for their lives, why is my opinion not so popular?He has been thinking about this question for a long time, but he has not been able to come up with an answer until now.

"I'll go down and have a look first." Li Siming jumped down and landed on the skull of an elephant, holding on to the ivory and standing up. It's not as simple as dirt or stones, it's dark as if it's covered with something, he knelt down and touched it with the gun in his hand, a sticky smell came over his face, as if it was mixed with something that wasn't completely rotten. There is a sticky substance formed by rotting leaves, rainwater and other things. It seems that although it has been washed by wind, sun and rain for thousands of years, there are still some evidences that these colossi have survived.

"It seems that it's not easy to go down here." Li Siming jumped onto another elephant bone and said.

"If there are no Japanese behind us, we should really stop and take a rest." Rhodes sighed and jumped down, it was obvious that he was also very tired.

Liang Rong wanted to go down, Si Xuanyi told her to take a rest first, don't be in a hurry, Li Siming and the others need time to investigate the situation below, there is no need to go down now, the sky is brighter again, and they saw the two ends intact again from a little further away. After observing the elephants in the past, I found that these two elephants have not died yet, but they have been stuck in the middle of the elephant bones and cannot move. It seems that they came here to wait to die. According to legend, each elephant grave is a The purpose of the elephant family is that generations will be buried here. I really don't know how many generations of elephants are here.

"What I encountered this time is enough to blow me away in the village for the rest of my life." Ma Zhong sat on the side to rest. He was almost exhausted and paralyzed. He finally got a chance to rest. If the sky didn't fall or he had to leave in a hurry stand up.

"Then you have to go out with your life." Si Xuanyi came back around and looked at Rhodes and Li Siming who had been out for a while and asked, "Can I go?"

"It should be fine to walk on the bone." Li Siming waved his hand, "You can come here."

"Go." Si Xuanyi pulled Liang Rong up from the ground, "Go down first, Ma Zhong will follow."

The three of them descended into the pit one after another. The smell was really disgusting, but so far there was no other way to go. It was much easier to walk on the elephant bone than they imagined, but the smell got worse and worse. They walked out for about tens of meters Then there was another shot from behind...
