It's a pity that this circus is not the one where the elephant is, but Hou Rui finally got some information after watching the performance, and he learned that two days later, the circus where the elephant is located will return to Pattaya from Chiang Mai, so Hou Rui can only stay in this flower city for two days!

So in order to hide people's eyes, Hou Rui found an exchange shop, exchanged some of the yen on his body for Thai baht, and then used the money to rent a hotel room in a residential area of Pattaya, and began to live at home for 48 hours continuously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hou Rui refused 6-7 waves of boys and girls who came to knock on the door during this period, and when the two days passed, the elephant-accommodated circus returned to Pattaya and was ready to perform, Hou Rui quietly got the tickets and sat in the first row of the audience.

When the circus performance started 20 minutes later, the familiar thin figure of the elephant really appeared on the stage, and after glancing at Hou Rui with a very natural expression and demeanor, the elephant began to command his fierce pets to perform with a calm demeanor.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the elephant's leather whip, password and gestures, the lions, tigers and cheetahs in the iron cage seemed to have become captive puppies, showing great well-behaved and obedient, making a series of wonderful performances, and finally after passing through the fire ring one after another, the stacks from small to large fell into a pile.

As a result, under the stunned gaze of countless spectators, the mighty Asian elephant stood at the bottom, the lazy lion lay on the back of the Asian elephant, and the lithe cheetah climbed on the lion's back, followed by a monkey with funny movements, climbed up in three or two clicks, and squatted on the back of the cheetah, and kept waving to the audience on all sides, performing the most famous animal pyramid of the circus.

After the shock, when the audience stood up and applauded wildly, Hou Rui also clapped a few times sincerely, and the other audience just saw that elephants can make different kinds of beasts live in harmony, but Hou Rui saw the huge tactical value of elephants when driving multiple beasts and cooperating with the action, and this strengthened Hou Rui's decision to pull the elephant into the gang.

More than two hours later, the whole performance ended, when the audience in the big tent left one after another, Hou Rui also took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd, and after leaving the tent with the flow of people, he quietly went around to the back of the tent, just like that time in the treasure island, quietly approached the cage where the circus kept various animals.

"Are you looking for me?" With a low question, the elephant with a small monkey squatting on his shoulder turned around and stood in front of Hou Rui.

"Yes, I flew to Pattaya to find you. Hou Rui replied generously, but the next second Hou Rui felt a chill behind him for no reason, and when he turned around vigilantly, he saw the familiar earth dog crawling behind him, lying cunningly in the shadow of the side of the big tent, looking ready to pounce and bite at any time.

"What's the matter with me?"

"I want you to join my squad?"

The elephant didn't expect Hou Rui to invite him, thought about it for a while, and then replied calmly: "I don't have anything to worry about, but what about these animals of mine?"

"Your animals?"

"Yes, I will not give up on my companions, and my helpers will have to follow me wherever I go in the future, but I will also tell you frankly that my companions need to consume a lot of food every day, and they need a specific place to raise them, can you provide all of this? If you can't provide it, then it's better not to make a suggestion to solicit me. ”

The complexity of the matter was obviously beyond Hou Rui's estimate, so he thought about it seriously first, and then Hou Rui asked the elephant with a serious face: "Then how many animals do you have in your hands?"

"The smaller ones don't count, there are an Asian bull elephant, two Bengal tigers, a black panther, a brown bear, and three large dogs weighing more than 30 kilograms, and they all need more than $3,000 a day for food, and if you want to build a captive facility, you need to invest at least hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time, and you need a vast land to accommodate them. ”

"So troublesome?"

"Of course, there have been quite a few knights who have tried to recruit me, but when they learned more about the needs of my helpers, they immediately retreated. ”

To be honest, Hou Rui only saw the huge strategic value of elephants at the beginning, and did not expect that raising these animals would be so expensive and troublesome, which is no different from building a small zoo, this investment is not generally huge, and in addition to money, it is still a particularly eye-catching thing, which is seriously inconsistent with the killer identity of Hou Rui and others.

Thinking of this, Hou Rui couldn't help but flinch a little, but he thought about it, the scene where the elephant commanded various animals to play the pyramid just now was really shocking.

Simply imagine that when Hou Rui is about to attack a well-defended house, there can be a tiger cheetah pounced out of the darkness, a monkey python can pounce out of the ventilation pipe, and there can be an elephant with infinite strength and huge body to help, such a scene is exciting to think about, so that whether it is an attack, reconnaissance, or infiltration, it will be invincible.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars, okay, I'll treat it as an investment in equipment!

Thinking about Hou Rui, he immediately made the final decision, willing to pay for the giant beasts of the elephant, so he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said to the elephant very decisively: "Okay, I will pay this money, and I will find you another hectare of land to accommodate these helpers of yours when I go back, so it's okay!"

"Are you sure?Lord Shadow Tiger?I won't give up if I give up halfway. The elephant didn't expect Hou Rui to agree so simply, but he showed a somewhat surprised expression, and then warned with a gloomy face.

"Of course, I'm not in the mood to joke with you, I really want you to be my team, and when you join my team, I will distribute the task remuneration according to the principle of equal sharing of the remainder, and treat you and your partners as valuable combat power of the team. ”

"Okay, I trust you! But before I decide to join, I have one last condition?"

"What conditions, you say?"

"Please help me kill someone. ”

"It's so easy, we can go straight to it now. Hou Rui replied very evasively, with a relaxed expression, but when Hou Rui saw the elephant's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, Hou Rui felt that there must be something else going on, so he asked patiently at will: "Is there anyone you can't deal with?"

"No, it's actually a general on the Thai-Burmese border, but in fact he is a powerful drug lord, as long as Lord Shadow Tiger helps me kill him, then I will take those friends of mine and join Lord Shadow Tiger's team together. ”

"Then it's a word!" Hou Rui stretched out a hand towards the elephant, but Hou Rui didn't expect that the monkey squatting on the elephant's shoulder and the earth dog lying behind Hou Rui actually bared their fangs at himself together, showing a vigilant and active sense of protection, and this made Hou Rui sincerely envious, envious that the elephant had such two super competent bodyguards, almost eliminating the possibility of being attacked at close range.

Then the elephant simply blew two whistle syllables, but the monkey and the earth dog instantly quieted down together, followed the elephant he took a few steps closer, stretched out his hand and held Hou Rui tightly together, and formed a preliminary agreement to join the team.

"Without further ado, when can you give me the details of the target?" Hou Rui was very happy to successfully pull the elephant into the team this time, so he asked more easily, looking ready to complete the agreement as soon as possible, and then leave Thailand.

"I'll have another show in a while, where do you live, I'll go to you in the evening, and then we'll talk carefully. ”

"Okay, I'll also gather all the team members by the way, and help you solve which general as soon as possible. ”

"Hope everything goes well. With that, the elephant turned around and returned to the big tent of the circus, and the earth dog that had been lying behind Hou Rui quickly disappeared into the darkness and left quietly.

At about 11 o'clock that night, there was a knock on the door of Hou Rui's hotel, and he followed Hou Rui to open the door to take a look, only to see a little girl in a three-point swimsuit, who was scratching her head and looking at herself, and said softly in Thai as soon as she opened her mouth: "Swipe my card!"

"No, I don't need your services. Hou Rui, who is familiar with the road, doesn't talk nonsense, and after rejecting the little girl in English simply and clearly, Hou Rui simply closed the door.

But ten seconds later, when there was another knock on the door of the room, Hou Rui was about to ignore him, but suddenly a dog barked in the corridor outside the room, and then Hou Rui knew that it was the person he was waiting for.

After opening the door again, when Hou Rui barely reacted, a black shadow rushed into the room from Hou Rui's feet, followed by the black shadow unceremoniously jumped on a chair, and after raising his head again and yelling, the elephant cautiously emerged from the end of the corridor.

After more than half an hour of detailed discussions, Hou Rui understood why the elephant who could drive the beast at will not be able to deal with this drug lord, because the other party not only has a private army, but also lives in a real fortress all year round.
