Chapter 347: The Hunt of the Asian Elephant

Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei stood at the top of the mountain, staring at the terrain in front of them, looking for the best way forward.

After watching for a long time, Liu Danqing finally spoke.

"Now, we have two options before us. ”

"One is to find a good reference and then go straight ahead, so the advantage is that the route is short, and more than half of the route is on the hillside, and the disadvantage is that you will inevitably enter those smoky places. ”

"Instead, follow that stream, and the downside is that the route will be longer, and the chance of encountering beasts will be higher. The good thing is that the stream is living water, so there should be no smoke miasma along the line. ”

"Let's go, let's go down the ridge line on the right, go directly to the stream, get some water, and then climb to the mountainside of that hill and set up camp, I'd rather waste a little time, than camp next to the stream, it's too dangerous, walk the rivers and lakes, safety first." ”

Xiao Weiwei's problem came again.

"Then do we still have to go over the mountain? Go over the mountain, just to save that big turn. ”

"We don't go over the mountain, let's go back to the stream, the forest behind the hill doesn't seem to be a good place, and it's still the same sentence, safety first. ”

After resting for a while, each nibbled on a strip of meat to replenish their strength, and the two began to descend the mountain.

As the terrain decreased, the old acquaintances of the two of them, mosquitoes and leeches, appeared one after another.

"Eucalyptus, eucalyptus, where are you?" Xiao Weiwei, who searched hard all the way, but couldn't find the white trunk, kept breaking her thoughts.

"Smack" is another mosquito that died in the hands of Xiao Weiwei.

Countless mosquitoes came and went, but they were only taken by the smell of eucalyptus leaves, and they did not dare to come forward.

But there are still strong-willed heroes among mosquitoes, resisting the smell of eucalyptus leaves and falling on Xiao Weiwei.

After all, these eucalyptus leaves have been picked for two days, and even after Liu Danqing's urging, they can't be compared to when they were fresh.

And what is more annoying than mosquitoes is naturally leeches, these bloodthirsty guys still use airborne methods to attack the two, especially Liu Danqing, who walked in front of the road, but fortunately, the plastic bag made last time to protect the headscarf is still there.

A painful journey lasted more than four hours, and the two finally reached the edge of the stream.

Call it a stream, a little insulting it, this is a river more than 20 meters wide, of course, because it is not the rainy season, nor is it the wet season, so the drinking water only flows in the middle of the river, but the narrow part of the river is also 123 meters wide.

"It's a pity," Liu Danqing sighed.

"We now have to go upstream, otherwise we just need to make a raft and we can go down the river and easily return to human society. ”

"Yes, yes, that's a pity. Xiao Weiwei echoed: "It doesn't look much different from the valley of the Eighteen Villages, but there is no trace of wind, it is really a strange place." ”

After looking around, Liu Danqing said to Xiao Weiwei: "Yes, the absence of wind is an important reason why it is so dangerous here, if you look at the satellite map, you can find that most of the grape county and savage mountain areas are actually surrounded by high mountains, and the strong wind has become a small wind when it enters here, and only the pure and pure southerly wind can have a wisp of blowing in, and then it is blocked by the mountains and jungles in the south. ”

"If it weren't for this stream that meanders down from the top of the snow-capped mountains, it would be even more dangerous here, and I'm afraid even the air would be poisonous. ”

"Let's go, just go along this riverbed, be careful, there's a lot of moss on it, it's a little slippery. ”

The river is not all open, and more sections are overgrown with shrubs and sloping trees, so walking here is more difficult for the two of them than climbing.

Especially the mosquitoes, which are more numerous, bigger and more fearless here.

But as the saying goes, "There must be an antidote within ten steps".

Liu Danqing, who was walking in front, suddenly let out a cheer: "Weiwei, look there, there are good things!"

"What? What good?"

Xiao Weiwei looked in the direction of Liu Danqing's finger, and saw that in addition to the bushes, there was grass.

"Nothing, Qingqing you lied to me. ”

Liu Danqing walked directly over there, and then began to pick the dark green grass on the ground.

"Weiwei, this is a good thing, geranium, have you ever heard of it?"

"Geraniums, I seem to have a little impression, I used to put potted plants at home, it seems to be insect repellent...... Is this geranium mosquito repellent?"

"Yes," Liu Danqing replied affirmatively while picking: "The smell of this geranium, like eucalyptus, can repel mosquitoes, and the effect is better." ”

Xiao Weiwei had long been tired of being tossed by mosquitoes, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help, and soon, the two of them picked this piece of geraniums, and in addition to replacing the eucalyptus leaves, they also stuffed half a backpack.

Satisfied, the two filled the empty bottles and bags with water and happily continued on their way.

"The mosquitoes are not coming, haha, it's so comfortable. ”

In the midst of Xiao Weiwei's laughter, Liu Danqing stopped.

"Stop, slightly, stop quickly. He stopped nervously and grabbed Xiao Weiwei.

"Wow, elephants, so many elephants!"

Xiao Weiwei also noticed at this time that in the forest next to the stream, five or six Asian elephants were pulling leaves with their long trunks and sending them into their mouths.

Hearing Xiao Weiwei's voice, two elephants turned their heads and glanced at the two of them, and then continued to eat.

"This is a wild Asian elephant, the largest existing land animal in Asia, with a body length of up to 5~6 meters, a height of 2.1~3.6 meters, and a weight of 3~5 tons. Look at the three largest, estimated to be five meters long, and two baby elephants. ”

"Although the Asian elephant is inferior in size to the African elephant, it is still an object that we cannot match, slightly, quickly we lighten, pass by the river, do not disturb them. ”

Xiao Weiwei muttered dissatisfiedly: "These elephants look simple, they didn't attack after they found out about us just now, they should be fine, right?"

Liu Danqing walked along the water's edge, gently forward, and replied in a low voice: "Who knows, if they go crazy, we will be in trouble, hurry up, this is unlucky." ”

It was the first time for a group of viewers to see Liu Danqing showing such a nervous expression.

In these live broadcasts, he is basically calm and composed, but this time, he looks a little flustered and hurried.

"Master Qing, you're a little panicked, isn't this an elephant, a plantivore, it scared you like this, and I didn't see you scared when I killed the leopard. ”

"The young man who is scared of the sky and the earth is actually cowardly in front of the elephant, big news. ”

"Master Qing, you can't do it, I also let the elephant step on my back. ”

Liu Danqing didn't care about the ridicule of the audience at this time, he was now walking forward, crossing the elephant territory, while secretly thinking: "You can't see us, you can't see us." ”

Just as they had already crossed the herd of elephants and were just breathing a sigh of relief, a baby elephant became mischievous.

It turned around and looked at the two of them with big eyes flickering, as if wondering what kind of creatures they were, and how they could walk with only two feet.

Liu Danqing also noticed that the curious little elephant was looking at them, and quickly changed the slogan that he was silently reciting.

"Don't come, don't come. ”

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the baby elephant looked at it for a while, then walked towards the two of them.

When one of the elephants saw the baby elephant walking towards the two of them, he shook his nose and shouted, and when he saw that the baby elephant was still moving forward, he also strode after him, and the other three Asian elephants also followed.

"Your sister!" Liu Danqing shouted and shouted, "Let's run." ”

This is fun, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei are running in front, and three elephants and two baby elephants are chasing behind.

At this time, the elephant had directly regarded the two as enemies to "seduce" the baby elephant, and after overtaking the baby elephant, he did not stop to stop the baby elephant, but increased his horsepower and continued to rush forward.

The two of them actually ran a lot faster than these Asian elephants, but they suffered on the terrain to see how the two sides ran.

Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei had to find the right place to land every step, when they saw a big stone, they jumped over, when they saw dead wood, they had to jump over again, and when they saw mud, they had to go around.

As for the Asian elephants, they walk all the way, no matter what the terrain, they just take a "fast walk", because they have never left the ground.

Seeing that the three big Asian elephants were chasing closer and closer, Liu Danqing looked left and right, and shouted: "Run up the mountain, the forest is dense over there." ”

Running up the mountain, the speed of the two of them couldn't help but slow down again, Liu Danqing dragged behind Xiao Weiwei at this time, and had already taken out the pistol and held it in his right hand.

As long as the distance between the elephant and them is less than 20 meters, Liu Danqing is ready to shoot, at that time he said that he will try not to use these two pistols, but in danger of life, he will lose his life without using a gun.

He targets the elephant's two large knees, and if it hits the knee, even if it hits the elephant's leg, it can incapacitate or reduce the elephant's mobility.

As for the fate of the lame elephant, he can't control it, who let you chase this guy to death.

Luckily, they got into the forest before the elephant caught up, and the elephant crashed in, but after knocking down two small trees, the elephant retreated, feeling unable to turn.

Seeing the elephant stop outside the forest, the two could finally breathe a sigh of relief. 、

"I really didn't expect these elephants to be so ferocious, we didn't do anything, just passing by, and they chased and killed all the way, sure enough, elephants in Myanmar are not good things, hum!"

At this moment, Xiao Weiwei even shouted out the depression of being hunted down and killed a few days ago, and the poor Myanmar government staff was in a cold sweat again.

Liu Danqing also looked like the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and said: "It is said that curiosity kills cats, but we were almost killed by curious elephants today, so dangerous, so dangerous, although we have pistols, but how much damage the power of the pistol can cause to elephants, it is still unknown, it is good to be safe, it is good to be safe." ”
