535 Searching for the Elephant Mound
Gu Fengchun was not interested in ivory. Although he knew that ivory could bring him great wealth, he didn't care. At the bottom of the Burning Spirit Palace in the Great Forbidden Land, there are all gold and jewelry, and Gu Fengchun didn't have the slightest greed, and this ivory is also a lot lower than those treasures, and it can't arouse Gu Fengchun's **.
However, Gu Fengchun is interested in whether this mammoth will return to the family grave before dying like an elephant. That's what he's most concerned about.
"Gu, I'm afraid this mammoth is dying." Anderson said. It seems that he also saw the weakness of this mammoth's body. Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "Yes, its body is already very weak, and it has fought with Jian Thornosaurus again, which consumes a lot of physical strength, and I am afraid it won't last long." ”
"Ancient, have you ever heard the legend of elephants, that every elephant returns to their graveyard before they die, and there are countless elephant bones and piles of ......ivory," Anderson gushed. And I got more and more excited.
Gu Fengchun knew that Anderson was an adventurer at heart, otherwise he would not have traveled all the way from the Netherlands to the East in search of wealth. From his words, Gu Fengchun could hear that Anderson wanted to follow the mammoth, and it seemed that he wanted to get the fangs of those mammoths. Gu Fengchun shook his head, this guy has been on this isolated island for hundreds of years, why is he still so greedy? Even if they get these ivory, how can they get them? However, he also understands Anderson's feelings, adventurers are originally people who seek wealth and honor for a living, no matter where they are, this is their essence.
Gu Fengchun thought for a moment and said, "You mean, we can track this mammoth and see if it can take us to the elephant mound?" ”
Anderson grinned and said, "Yes, dear Gu, you know, we have been on this isolated island for a long time, and if we can leave here with your blessing this time, we will also need a sum of money to leave this place and return to our hometown!" "Anderson is telling the truth. In their impressions, they had been on this island for decades, the ship was long gone, the cargo was lost, and the upper and lower pants were given by Gu Fengchun, and naturally there were no supplies for them to return to the Netherlands after leaving the island.
Gu Fengchun smiled slightly. He couldn't explain that times had changed, and that hunting elephants and selling ivory was illegal, and although this phenomenon still existed in the international black market, Gu Fengchun could not find a buyer. This mammoth is something that has long been extinct, and it is enough for them to explain where these fangs came from. Besides, it's unknown whether I'll be able to take these four people out of here. Gu Fengchun thought about it, he was very worried that if he suddenly changed direction, would he delay the trip, if the island suddenly appeared in the real world, it would not be easy for Chen Si to find himself. But he thought about it, and still went along with Anderson's meaning. There is no other reason, because Gu Fengchun is also just as curious.
Anderson's suddenly raised index finger, anyway, his lips told everyone not to speak. Gu Fengchun saw that it was the mammoth that slowly moved its body and slowly walked into the dense depths of the forest. Gu Fengchun was overjoyed. This is exactly where we are heading towards the lake! He looked at Anderson, who was surprised, but it was a good thing, at least they didn't have to delay their trip to the lake for tracking and mammoths.
The mammoth staggered out of the road, slowly rolling up the tender leaves next to him and stuffing them into his mouth as he went. But these leaves often fall right in the mouth. Obviously a little overwhelmed. The five of them didn't dare to follow too closely, and stayed thirty or forty meters behind the mammoth, slowly groping their way forward.
By this time, it was getting dark. It gets dark very quickly in the forest. Anderson was very worried when he saw the night falling, he knew that there was a great danger in this forest, but he refused to abandon the mammoth that he had been following for a long time. The mammoth walked and walked, and its speed slowly increased. It seems to be a sign of a return to light. Any kind of living thing, before the end of life, will have a period of abnormal spirit, and people are the same, when they are dying, they tend to wake up, like a healthy ordinary person, but after this moment, that person is about to braid.
"Gu, pay attention to your feet and surroundings, it's getting late now, and poisonous snakes and all kinds of annoying disgusting things are coming out to move." Anderson reminded. Due to the language barrier, Yukos, Nikolai, and Davy Jones all communicated privately and had nothing to say to Gu Fengchun.
"Do you want to make a little fire?" Gu Fengchun asked.
Anderson shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Don't be like this, there is a very terrible moth here, it will approach when it sees the fire, it is covered with poison, and a little contamination will cause large-scale ulceration of the skin, I almost died in their poisonous kiss, fortunately the saliva of the python I raised on Tuesday has the ability to cure it, otherwise I would have gone to see God a long time ago." With that, he also undressed himself, and Gu Fengchun took advantage of the dim light to see a gray-brown scar on Anderson's chest and back. When Anderson was naked at first, Gu Fengchun didn't notice this, and thought it was Anderson smearing dye on his body.
Seeing such a big scar, Gu Fengchun was shocked. It can be seen that Anderson has experienced a lot of dangers here, and it can be seen from this that it is not easy for these four people to survive on this island.
"Hey, it's changing course." Anderson said suddenly. When he saw that the mammoth suddenly turned around and walked to the other side, Anderson's face was very unnatural. 'My God, there is the valley of death. There was a hint of fear on Anderson's face.
"Valley of Death? What did it come from?" Gu Fengchun had never heard Anderson mention this.
Anderson suppressed his voice and said: "It is one of the two canyons of this island, and it is the deepest and longest one, I once climbed the highest point of the island with David, and found this place, where the water and grass are very abundant, very suitable for the growth of plants, when we explored, we found that it is very fertile, often thunder and rain for no reason, animals often die, there are a lot of animal carcasses in the valley, we tried to go in, but we didn't walk a few dozen steps, we were dizzy, almost unable to come back." David said it was where the devil lived, so we haven't set foot there since. Anderson made a cross on his chest at the end.
After Gu Fengchun listened, he was not so surprised. The reason is very simple, because Gu Fengchun knows that in this world, such places are not uncommon. If there is frequent thunder, it is likely that there is abundant iron ore or other minerals, and dizziness in the canyon, it may be that the canyon is not ventilated, and there may be strong carbon dioxide in it. Gu Fengchun touched his backpack, there were still a few packets of oxygen in it, which could provide each person with about an hour's worth of oxygen, with this thing there, he felt that the so-called Valley of Death would not be very terrifying.
Gu Fengchun slowly analyzed these things with Anderson. Anderson naturally didn't know that there were gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the air, and he didn't know that the dense thunder there could be explained by science. And it was originally the elephant mound where they wanted to find the mammoth, and under the stimulus of wealth, the danger was not worth mentioning at all.
"How long will it take to get to the valley of death?" Gu Fengchun asked.
"If we leave this mammoth alone, we can reach it in about half an hour, and the valley of death is on the west side of the forest, and there is also a lake, but it is very small, and the water is very bitter, and the sea should be pouring in, and it is not drinkable at all." Anderson said.
Gu Fengchun nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said to Anderson, "Let's continue to follow this mammoth." So far, we don't know if it will change its course again, and if it does, it will not be easy for us to find it. ”
Anderson and others thought so. Like elephants, this mammoth is adept at hiding its family grave. No matter how clever and careful humans are to follow the dying elephants, hoping to find the elephant mounds, the elephants can find shadows behind them, and will often lead these people into the vast forest, causing them to get lost and finally die tragically in the forest. Although this mammoth has never dealt with humans, it is estimated that it will have a little bit of such a trick as a close relative of elephants.
However, Gu Fengchun's worries are unnecessary, this island is limited in area, it cannot be as vast as the African continent, it has great depth, and once you get lost, you can't find a place to go. On this island, it's easier to get out of the forest even if you get lost. And the mammoth didn't notice that there was someone following behind him, and staggered all the way, slowly walking towards the holy land of the race.
Not surprisingly, this mammoth really walked towards the place called the "Valley of Death" by Anderson and others, and approached the Valley of Death, and Gu Fengchun couldn't help but let out a cool breath. The name is not exaggerated in the slightest, the valley is littered with the carcasses of various animals, some of which are still in a state of decay, while others have turned white and are white bones. And in an open field in front of the valley, the grass is Feifei, and the sky is green. Gu Fengchun nodded secretly, this should be a frequent thunderstorm, the nitrogen in the air has been converted into nitrogen fertilizer, plus there are many dead animals here, and the nutrition is sufficient, so it has developed such a dense grassland. However, there is not a single big tree near the meadow, which seems to be due to the fact that the thunder and lightning are frequent here, and the taller plants cannot survive.
