Section 37 Giant Elephants

Iron Slag suddenly woke up and rushed out of the tent, drawing a machete in his right hand and a shotgun in his left hand, while his eyes swept around, looking like he was waiting for battle.

At this time, the sky is just dawning, and the whole world is gray and white. He squinted for a few moments, but found nothing unusual.

"Give me a reasonable explanation." Iron Slag looked back at the red comet and said in a deep voice.

"The best, really rare." Iron Slag threatened.

Before he could finish speaking, Iron Slag turned and ran to the side of the mountain, looking down. In the meager morning light, a group of large creatures covered with brown hair, one trailing the other, carried a slow pace, from the valley in the distance. Their procession meandered, like a great serpent from the horizon, winding and crawling among the mountains.

Iron Slag took out a clever monocular from his coat pocket and looked over. In the pale orange lenses, huge creatures slowly walked forward in the thick snow. Their feet are very thick and the soles of their feet are covered with thick hairs. These four legs seem to be made for the snow. Their snouts are thick and long, and they hang naturally in front of them. And the most iconic are their long white tusks protruding from the sides of the towering nose bridge.

Ancient mammoth!

Iron Slag exhaled heavily, the first time he had seen such a rumored creature. Before that, he had only heard in the stories of travelers.

In that ancient legend, they were born at the beginning of the world and had a lifespan beyond the reach of humans. They have accompanied the changes of the world, stepping on heavy steps, since ancient times.

Iron Slag quickly returned to the camp, untied the red comet's ropes, and stepped on.

"No matter, I'm going to eat mammoths tonight." Iron slag road.

Alice's voice became quicker.

"I've only heard of the holy wolf of the Temple of Splendour, not of any mammoths." Iron slag road.

"Alice, I feel ......" Iron Slag took a deep breath, "My body is getting weaker and weaker, if it continues like this, I may not be able to hold this mountain anymore, I need to replenish the calories......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the red comet burst into action. In an instant, a powerful air stream erupted, and circles of air waves rolled up snowflakes and dispersed around. Iron Slag turned the car around and drove to the side of the mountain, then turned off the engine and stopped, and raised the binoculars to take a closer look.

He needs to wait for a lone mammoth, preferably a young elephant. In this cruel and boundless world, survival is the only rule.

Whether it's the Temple of Splendour, or the Holy Wolf Totem, or the ancient mammoth in front of you. This qiē was just an unknown symbol to him. He had no reason to give up the chance to survive for the sake of an ethereal existence.

However, when he observed for a long time, looking at the faltering herd of elephants, he felt a trace of unbearability in his heart. These days, he has deeply felt the ruthlessness of the snow-capped mountains, the harsh environment, and the hardships of survival. These creatures from the ancient times are very slow, they don't seem to be aggressive, and they seem very simple.

At this time, the two baby elephants broke away from the group and frolicked happily on the side. Iron Slag turned his heart sideways, pulled out the shotgun, opened the barrel with a "click", and stuffed two red shotguns. Then the engine car twisted the throttle hard.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

The locomotive roared and was about to rush down! But at this moment, the snow in the middle of the mountain suddenly erupted! In the snow that falls like a waterfall, giant insects rise from the ground. They have translucent bodies, sharp mouthparts, and dense arthropods. With a shrill hissing sound, they bent down and staggered through the snow, rushing to the elephant herd at the foot of the mountain!

"Sandworms!" Iron Slag shouted in surprise. However, these sandworms look like a lot, and the color of the carapace is not right.

"I've never heard of anyone before." Iron slag road.

As he spoke, the swarm of ice worms swooped down to the foot of the mountain. The herd of elephants hissed and lined up in a row. In the blink of an eye, the two torrents collided violently. Suddenly, the ice slag splashed and hissed endlessly.

At the very beginning of the battle, it was already extremely tragic. Several adult giant elephants lowered their heads, spewing strong acid saliva from ice insects, facing thousands of sharp arthropods, and crashed into the swarm without hesitation. They slammed the heavy body of the ice worm with their spear-like tusks, and then raised their thick feet to stomp on the fallen foe.

In less than ten seconds, red blood was splattered all over the snow-white earth, and broken tusks and arthropods were everywhere. Gradually, the swarms of ice insects, which feed on meat, gained the upper hand, and the elephant herd gradually retreated. In the blink of an eye, the swarm of ice insects overtook the adult elephants and poured into the rear.

The old elephant formed a circle, desperately resisting the fierce attack of the ice worms. Behind them, young elephants. They are old and frail, covered in blood, but they still don't give an inch.

Seeing this scene, Iron Slag developed an indescribable respect for these ancient creatures. He began to understand why the giant elephant totem symbolized protection. He remembered the years of his childhood, of the strong old man. It is precisely because of his protection that he has today's seven-foot body.

Thinking of this, he silently clenched the shotgun, twisted the accelerator, and rushed down the mountain!

"Iron Old Man! Iron slag is here to save you! ”

This is a cry through time, and this is an eternal regret in my heart.

I am heaven and earth, but you are gone......

In the next moment, a red meteor crashed into the swarm from behind! The double-barreled shotgun roared, and countless hot lead bullets sprayed out, causing a large field of ice worms to hissed in pain.

With the addition of iron slag, the balance of victory began to tilt. Under the bombardment of shotguns, the ice worm swarm retreated, and they had no way to deal with nimble riders. The iron slag bought the herd some time, and the adult giant elephants were able to regroup. They lined up and charged at the swarm of ice worms with heavy steps. Suddenly, all the elephants roared together, and the heavens and the earth shook.

The ice worms quickly scattered, not daring to touch their edges.

At this time, the ice on the mountain peak cracked, and the rumbling sound came from far to near.

Iron Slag looked up and saw a monstrous wave rising above the ice peak, rolling in thick snow! The momentum that covers the sky and the sun seems to be about to bury a qiē.

Avalanche!

Iron Slag immediately looked around, looking for a place to hide. But this is a valley, surrounded by mountains, facing a horizontal avalanche, and there is nowhere to hide.

As the minutes passed, the avalanche became bigger and bigger, and a huge wind pressure hit the face, which was the high-pressure air flow caused by the avalanche.

A catastrophe is coming, and the heavens and the earth are changing. The ice worms fled in all directions, while the elephant herd regrouped, one next to the other, close together.

Iron Slag quickly turned the car around and rushed to the back of the herd.

The monstrous waves of snow swept across the sky and the earth, rushing to the bottom of the mountain with the power of ruin.

At this moment, in the face of the roar of nature, any life seems so small.

However, just before the avalanche came, Iron Slag saw a picture that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The elephant herd let out an earth-shattering roar and launched a charge against the avalanche! Shoulder to shoulder, they slammed into the devastating snow waves!

In an instant, the game between life and nature starts and ends, and it is only a few seconds. However, this group of beings from ancient times once again proves the reason why they still exist.

When the qiē returned to calm, one giant elephant after another struggled to climb out of the snow, looking up to the sky and screaming.

The long, continuous sound was a hail to victory, but also a call to the departed comrades.

Iron slag dragged the red comet out of the snow, looking at the elephant herd that was more than half dead and wounded, and a sense of respect arose. Although the corpses of giant elephants were everywhere, after this qiē, he could no longer use them as food.

Iron slag patted the snow on the locomotive and was about to leave. At this moment, an adult giant elephant stood in front of him and lay down.

The red comet flashed the headlights, and Alice's excited voice was heard,

In those old tales, the ancient mammoths were the friends of man, and they would accompany lonely travelers over snow-capped mountains.

Seeing this, Iron Slag tried to pat the giant elephant on the side. The elephant let out a low roar, and then its trunk curled up towards the iron slag and patted him gently on the shoulder.

Iron Slag grinned, pointed to the far north and asked, "Are you going to give me a ride?" ”

The giant elephant looked in the direction the iron slag was pointing, and let out a low snort, as if understanding what he meant.

Iron Slag patted the red comet on his side again, and pointed to the back of the elephant, "Take her with you." ”

The giant elephant let out a low cry again, then stood up, and with its long, powerful snout, rolled up a red comet, and placed it on its back.

Seeing that it was so spiritual, Iron Slag immediately grinned. The giant elephant reached out and gently curled him up, placed it on his back, and then turned away from the herd and walked north......
