Chapter 348 Tracking

The next day, Bai Xiaoyi and the others came together and learned from Shanke Kuma that the tiger roar they heard last night was real, and it was really the sound of a tiger infested.

This made them a little nervous, but they were quickly calmed down by Yamakokumar, because it was all too normal to encounter tigers in the jungle.

Because in the past ten years, the three countries have banned hunting very strictly, especially against the poaching of tigers, cheetahs, rhinoceros, and elephants, and the crackdown has been very strong, so in recent years, few people have come to poach these fierce beasts with great economic interests.

The less poaching, the faster the natural development, so in recent times, there have often been rumors of tigers hurting people.

From these words, Han Peacock also knew that the tiger was probably a loser who lost his territory and had to go out to make a living.

Infested on the outskirts of the jungle, the hungry Bengal tiger has become normal to attack humans.

After breakfast, they set off again, this time Yamakokuma offered to walk along the stream, and Han Peacock immediately agreed.

After a difficult four-hour trek down the creek, they came to the vicinity of the battlefield of the Bengal tiger and the two elephants last night.

Here, Han Peacock finally found a few rosewood trees, which made him even more excited, although these small-leaved rosewood trees are very small, the thickest is only arm-thick, but where small-leaved rosewood trees can grow, there may be old rosewood trees that have been cut down.

Finding a place where it was possible to come out of the stump of the red sandalwood, Han Peacock naturally wouldn't let it go, so he asked Yamako Kuma to rest nearby, and by the way, he had lunch, and he quickly probed the surrounding underground situation.

In addition to checking out those few wild small-leaved rosewood trees. Han Peacock also wanted to see where the elephant had gone.

When Han Peacock went a few kilometers deeper along the stream, he reluctantly retreated. I didn't expect that the elephant was so seriously injured, and it could still support such a long distance.

But. As long as the two elephants left some traces, Han Peacock would be able to find them, so he would no longer continue to track, as long as they could get close to a certain distance, the two elephants would not be able to escape the palm of Han Peacock's hand.

Returning to the place where he took a lunch break, Han Peacock avoided the others and came to the place he suspected was a small-leaved rosewood tree.

The bark of the small-leaved rosewood tree is dark brown with obvious straight cracks, and the sap of the bark is dark red. The leaves are oval, the flowers are yellow, and some are red when they wither.

The fruit is oblate or round, grows in the sandy soil layer with relatively poor soil, when the age of the tree reaches two or three hundred years, and the diameter of the tree reaches more than ten centimeters, most of the sandalwood red sandalwood bark cracks seriously, and the heart of the tree begins to become empty, which is the reason why ten sandalwood is empty.

Although Han Peacock has seen rosewood. He has also seen a lot of information about the red sandalwood tree, but this is the first time he has seen a live small-leaved red sandalwood tree.

So after confirming that it was most likely a small-leaved red sandalwood, he scraped open its skin with a knife. A stream of red liquid began to overflow, and within thirty seconds, the inner layer of bark began to redden. It's gorgeous to look at.

The trunk is yellow, and usually the red sandalwood has just been cut down. Peel off the white label and the colors that start to appear are all yellow. It takes several months of oxidation before it gradually turns bright red, and in about a year, it turns purple and black, becoming the appearance that we commonly see in the market.

After confirming that these were really small-leaved rosewood trees, Han Peacock quickly dug out a few small-leaved rosewood trees and put them into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

Wild red sandalwood grows luxuriantly with branches and leaves, the trunk is not high, and it begins to branch up to more than one meter, and the growth is slow, if the diameter of the tree reaches ten centimeters, it takes two or three hundred years.

Because it grows at a high temperature of about 50 degrees, the night temperature is not less than 25 degrees, the long-term growth environment is humid, and the precipitation does not exceed 700 milliliters, it has formed the unique characteristics of small-leaved red sandalwood, that is, the density is larger, the material is harder, the texture is delicate, and it is immortal for thousands of years.

Although the trunk of the small-leaved rosewood tree is relatively heavy, these small-leaved rosewood trees are not difficult to dig at all, so Han Peacock only took half an hour to dig out more than a dozen small trees, which also became the first harvest after entering the mountain.

Although these small-leaved rosewood trees are not thick, but this is a wild small-leaved rosewood, even if it is less than ten centimeters thick, but these small-leaved rosewood has been growing for a full one or two hundred years.

With the first harvest, Han Peacock became confident again, so in the afternoon, Han Peacock was more positive, but often the reality was always not as full as ideal, so after the afternoon action, he no longer had any gain.

However, because Han Peacock could still see some traces of two elephants walking from time to time, he was not much frustrated.

Han Peacock is distracted and useful, sometimes talking to the catkins, but also to probe the situation underground, if the tree stump is found, but also poke it to see if it is the small leaf red sandalwood.

In this way, under the deliberate guidance of Han Peacock, they walked all the way into a jungle.

The situation in the jungle was even more complicated, and at this time, there were very few tree stumps underground, so even if Han Peacock was powerful in controlling water, he couldn't find too many tree stumps.

Han Peacock didn't look for a long time, and then gave up, so the chance of casting a net all over the sky to find the stump of the small-leaved red sandalwood tree was too small.

Only now, Han Peacock found that his plan was really a bit ethereal, and if he wanted to gain something, he had to rely on the local residents.

If you don't rely on numbers, finding a tree stump buried in the ground in this jungle is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

They sat on the elephant, their eyes were far away, and they didn't have to walk hard, they chatted while eating some small snacks they brought, which can be said to be very comfortable.

They looked at Han Peacock, at first they found that he was very passionate and energetic, but when they arrived in the jungle, Han Peacock stopped walking around, and he no longer used his cane to plug indiscriminately, seeing this situation, Bai Xiaoyi and they all snickered.

They had all experienced such a thing a few days ago, although the plan was very good, but the mountainous jungle here is too big, and trying to find a stump of a small-leaved red sandalwood tree here is definitely like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Han Peacock's idea must not be more than he thought of, the reason why no one dares to implement it is because it is too difficult.

In China, perhaps because the place where rare wood is produced is relatively small, as long as you can settle down and persevere, you can have a harvest, but here, the area is too large, if a small piece of carefully cleaned, I don't know if you need to find the year of the monkey.

Without ideas, Han Peacock was no longer so serious, so he also began to be lazy.

Looking at the surrounding scenery and tracking the traces of the two elephants, he didn't forget to say a few words to the catkins from time to time.

One afternoon, they spent an afternoon chatting and watching the scenery.

It's camping time again, and the catkins are a little nervous, after all, they haven't gone deep into the jungle after all, and they can still have a logging base as a campsite.

Although the last time the campsite did not give them a sense of security, and there were no comfortable beds, they still lived in their own small tents, but after all, there were signs of human activity, and they could not compare to this pure wilderness.

If you don't camp in the wild for a long time, the local villagers' activity radius can only go here, otherwise it will not be easy to go back, after all, the local villagers are all hiking into the mountains.

The inhabitants here can usually reach this jungle as far as possible, so there are many places around that have been dug up by the villagers who came here first, especially some open places, which have been explored several times.

Of course, Han Peacock won't gain anything from such a place, so if he wants to gain something, he must enter those places that humans don't often visit.

After breakfast the next day, Han Peacock told Rajawa about his thoughts and asked her to communicate with Yamakokuma.

After Shanko Kuma understood the meaning of Han Peacock, under the guidance of Han Peacock, he carefully chose a route to travel, of course, this route is not easy to walk, mainly because there are too many swamps around, and such a place, even if you ride an elephant, it is very dangerous.

However, Han Peacock insisted, and Shanko Kuma did not resolutely oppose it, as long as someone led the way in front and the elephants behind helped, even if someone fell into the swamp, it would be nothing.

The route is not complicated, it can be said that it is very simple, he just follows a small river, constantly extending into the jungle, although it is not easy to get lost, but walking along the small river in the jungle, it is not so easy, because there are too many large and small waterholes on the side of the small river.

That night, they set up camp by the creek and ate their own food, so they didn't start a fire in the jungle.

By noon the next day, after a morning of travel, they had completely departed from the scope of human activities, and here they had often seen wild animals, such as bison, wild asses, and jackals, all of which they had encountered.

It was the presence of two elephants, coupled with the guns of several female soldiers, that the most dangerous pack of jackals abandoned them.

The jungle in front of them was getting denser and denser, if it wasn't for the small river, they would definitely not be able to go deep here so easily, of course, the most important thing was that Han Peacock pointed out the right path.

Because Han Peacock can see the surrounding underground, he will not fall into some swamps, but the road he took was actually the path that the two elephants walked.

This made Han Peacock admire these wild animals a little, their intelligence is sometimes higher than that of most humans.

Moreover, the two elephants were able to support two days to walk here, which made Han Peacock even more admired.

Especially the seriously injured elephant, who had already reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, they were still able to get here. (To be continued......)
