Chapter 286: Ivory!
Who knows what kind of danger lurks behind this swamp, in this fog? And why did the elephants choose this place as a cemetery?
Of course, this is a complete belief in Tarzan's situation, but in fact, Tarzan has not been to the southern jungle, how can he know if there is an elephant cemetery here?
The snow sculpture itself is full of suspicion that Taishan, a northern "wild man" from the great forests of the northeast, ran into the southern rainforest to act as a guide and expert.
This guy can't stand the heat the most, every time he runs out to explore the road, this kid doesn't have to find a waterhole to cool himself down, and now he runs to say that behind this is the elephant cemetery that the world has never seen, and there is ** that is hot and confused.
Besides, what is the total length of this canyon, that is very clear.
The two sides and the end of the canyon, although steep and difficult, can be seen from the intelligence obtained by their own people there, this canyon is not very long, and the intelligence of Mount Tai in front also confirms this.
In such a situation, if this swamp is a little bigger, it will almost extend to the end of the canyon, and where is there a place for an elephant cemetery?
It's a pity that as soon as the snow sculpture spoke, it was stopped by the evil escape.
What the snow sculpture is suspicious of, of course the evil is clear. However, he preferred to believe in Tarzan.
The more incomprehensible and unbelievable things are, the more they can show the value of Mount Tai. Evil Xiaoyao is willing to use such a painless thing to measure the value of Mount Tai. Pro-novel book name + black * rock * cabinet can watch the fastest chapter without bullet windows for free
In Tarzan's words, he came because of the mournful cry of the elephant.
He also wanted to save the elephants, but unfortunately he was forced to flee by the superior firepower of Pardes and others. And Pardes's men chased Tarzan while easily killing the entire herd.
It has been confirmed that Pardes inadvertently appeared in this canyon.
Now the question is, why do these elephants live here? How could Tarzan know that behind this misty swamp, there was an elephant cemetery? Could it really be that the elephant told him?
If it's true, wouldn't Tarzan be able to understand the language of beasts? In this way, he is not only invincible in the jungle, but also in other aspects, he will also generate great energy.
His words can change the life and death of many people and the outcome of many things in many cases.
"Hehe, I also know that this matter is a bit unreliable, but if you can really find a passage in this misty swamp and find the elephant cemetery behind, then everything will be understood?" Evil Xiaoyao smiled slightly, and said with a relaxed face.
Ah Leopard also nodded beside him, Taishan was slightly stunned and then understood, these feelings didn't believe his words.
So, Taishan said with some anger: "Big brother, leave the matter of finding the passage to me, and I will definitely take you to the real elephant cemetery!" ”
Saying that, Taishan immediately wanted to run along the swamp, but seeing this, Evil Xiaoyao hurriedly stopped: "It's not Taishan, do you know what a swamp is?" It's going to sink in there. ”
"In this jungle, there are places that can make me suffer, but this small mud pond in front of me is never among them!" Taishan's eyes were as wide as a lamp, and he immediately ran out without looking back after saying his big words.
The plain was no bigger than a basketball court, and Tarzan scurried into the jungle next to him, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, isn't it ......" Evil Xiaoyao looked at Taishan's back a little speechlessly, turned his head to look at Ah Leopard and the snow sculpture and said, "Did you say that Taishan had seen a swamp before?" ”
Ah Leopard shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think there are more lumps in the northeast or ice caves, do you say Taishan, should he treat this swamp as snow?" ”
"Probably not, this guy is still very sensitive to danger!" The snow sculpture was full of confidence and said: "If he just finds a way, he will probably try it himself......"
"Then why don't you go and have a look? It's getting dark all day, if that guy really makes a fool of ...... moment," Evil Xiaoyao was startled and hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Ah Bao smiled bitterly again: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to follow, but look at how fast that kid runs?" It's like a rabbit, and it's a rabbit that can learn trees, and it's long gone for a while. ”
The evil was stunned, and then looked at it, didn't it? At this moment, Tarzan didn't even have a shadow. Is there a way to find the way? No matter how you look at it, this guy looks like running away a little more.
"Forget it, let's leave him alone, let's see what they left us at Pardes?" Evil Xiaoyao smiled slightly bitterly and turned his head.
It would be too wasteful to bury the corpses of these elephants on the spot, if they could be handed over to Zong Tianxing, maybe they would be able to make some contribution to the research of noodles or something?
"Anyway, it's a favor, so I'll give it to him."
Evil Xiaoyao secretly made up his mind in his heart, and walked towards the center of the meadow here.
In terms of topography, the jungle they came from was higher, and the swamp was naturally the lowest. In this way, it is not surprising that swamps can form.
The rainforest is a place where there is abundant rain, and there are many decaying creatures, and there are many swamps that form a mist in the transpiration of the sun.
It's just that the fog here is thick and not dispersed, and the appearance of this canyon and elephants makes it a little strange.
Evil looked at the footprints around him, and it was clear that one of Pardes' men had also been ordered not to approach the swamp.
Look at the mist, although it doesn't look like a miasma, but the evil is still ordered to do it, and it is not allowed to approach. Then the evil Xiaoyao had the heart to watch the arrangement of the grass here.
In front of Evil Xiaoyao and the others, there are several bonfires with smoking equipment placed on them, so that the fire in the jungle will not be exposed.
Evil Xiaoyao and the others didn't prepare for them because such equipment was too cumbersome, and Zong Tianxing didn't prepare for them, so Evil Xiaoyao didn't bring this thing.
Dry firewood, food, and even a few cauldrons with boiling water were sitting around the campfire.
Obviously, when Tarzan came out, these people were about to eat, but they were spoiled by Tarzan, and they never came back.
However, at this time, the eyes of Evil Xiaoyao and the others did not focus on the bonfire and food.
In the center of several bonfires, a pile of white ivory is placed. More than 30 unprocessed raw tusks were placed there so calmly. In the light of the slanting sunlight shimmered a seductive light.
Evil Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh lightly, it was not the first time he had seen ivory, but it was the first time he had seen so many ivory put together, the longest one was about one meter two or three, thicker than an adult's arm, and the short one was sixty or seventy centimeters, the size of a child's arm.
All the ivory is round and delicate, and it is piled up so that it is easy to imagine the tools and ornaments made by them being sought after by the ladies of Europe and the United States.
It's no wonder that poaching of animals, especially elephants, is so intense that it can't be stopped, and a large part of this is because of the preferences of those noble ladies.
Ivory chopsticks, ivory chess pieces, ivory combs, and fur are the same as those so-called successful people who pursue crocodile skins.
"If these ivory tusks are processed, I'm afraid they can be worth tens of millions of dollars?" Seven suddenly exclaimed and swallowed.
"You're wrong, that's worth at least $100 million at the current dollar exchange rate. With nearly forty elephants, the size of this herd is obviously not small, and it is no wonder that Pades' hand is so fierce because of this! The corners of Evil Xiaoyao's mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled evilly.
"Boss, what is this?" Ah Leopard suddenly pointed to his feet and opened almost the entire basketball court-sized Youling grass, and said softly.
"It's a parasitic plant." Evil Xiaoyao smiled slightly and explained: "Don't underestimate them, don't you see that this territory has been occupied by them? This grass, so the rhizomes are all connected together, forming a vast network. It seems to be an infinite number of trees, but in fact they are born from the same root. If it weren't for their harsh living conditions, it wouldn't be surprising even if the entire tropical rainforest became their sky! ”
After a slight pause, Evil Xiaoyao continued: "No wonder this place has become the private territory of elephants, since the elephant herd is large, even if the average individual is strong, they dare not provoke them. Second, there is no food that other animals need. This excellent grass can only be digested by elephants, and I am afraid that it is also one of the big reasons. ”
"There is also the existence of elephant cemeteries, this canyon is difficult to find, and there is a way out here, presumably this is why the elephant herd will use this canyon as a base camp." Ah Leopard nodded lightly and agreed: "I'm afraid that there is a wider area outside the canyon that is also their territory, no wonder I haven't seen any other animals and beasts along the way!" ”
"Boss, I see that it is not early, we will camp here, anyway, someone here has already prepared for us, just cheap us." The snow sculpture didn't even look at Ah Leopard, and changed the topic.
"Well, it's fine, we'll eat here tonight, and then we'll set up camp on the other side of the canyon." Evil Xiaoyao glanced at the two of them, then nodded.
After making up their minds, Feng Malang and the others were called to the canyon by the evil Yao, and the camp was quickly set up. The boundless darkness of the night gradually replaced the dominance of the setting sun and began to envelop the entire land.
It's been a long time since I've had a full meal, and everyone has a great time.
Then he arranged the duty and guard forces, and then he got into his tent.
Exhaling softly, Evil Xiaoyao glanced at Ah Leopard, who was sleeping in a tent with him, and said softly, "Isn't there any news from Taishan?" ”
