Chapter 382: Pride that never bows its head

In the middle of the river valley, a group of big-shouldered and round-waisted guys, who would have been thought to have developed limbs and simple minds in ancient times, were carrying boulders there, while the surroundings were very quiet.

The valley is all rocky, there are no woods, but outside the canyon. In particular, there are many trees along the river, so you can't see the canyon from the outside.

From the outside. From afar or close, you can't tell that this is a canyon, because the terrain on both sides is very gentle. Even at the lowest point of the canyon. Nothing unusual can be seen from a distance.

Such a gentle canyon, crossed by a small river, is blocked by trees on both sides, and it is not easy to see from the outside, and only at the highest point inside the canyon can you see a clue.

Due to the small drop and the different heights of the trees on both sides, some of the small canyons in the middle are hidden, and the swamps here are dense to preserve the ecological environment of this small canyon until now.

And it's also a perfect place to hide their secrets, where elephants hide their most precious secrets.

Observing the cave mouth that was hidden by the old elephant, the stones outside the cave weighed five or six hundred pounds each, and there were some thick trees with huge root systems, placed horizontally and vertically around, such a place, only elephants can enter and exit at will.

The bodyguards took out the prepared sapper catalpa and crowbar. I cleared the trunks of the trees that stood in the way, and planned to use a crowbar to pry off a few stones silently.

For these five big and three thick bodyguards, it is just some stones, and the bodyguards said that a few brothers can easily lift them up by joining hands together, but they can quickly pry? It's just that the terrain is not good, and it can't be carried by several people together, so they can only rely on prying. However, it is really not difficult to pry open a few stones of several hundred catties.

Pry open the trees and boulders piled up at the mouth of the elephant cemetery. Just as Lin Yi was hesitating whether to take the lead in entering, a dying old elephant staggered out, waving the ivory, and rushed towards the bodyguards who were carrying stones on the side.

Although the ivory is white and valuable, it is no fun to be poked by the ivory at this rate.

Ivory can definitely penetrate you directly, like a sugar gourd, hanging on top of the ivory.

These ivory tusks are not ivory carvings or ornaments in human hands, they are the weapons of elephants, and they are an important reliance on elephants to become overlords. With their tusks, elephants hunted countless opponents.

The bodyguards did not panic when they saw one suddenly rushing out of the cave. These bodyguards are all strictly trained, even if it is a thrilling emergency, they can deal with it very well, not to mention that this is something that has been prepared in mind?

There are so many wounds on the elephant's body, it is no longer bleeding, or it is almost flowing, the elephant's pace is staggering, and he may fall to the ground at any time, although he knows that he is not the opponent of these people, and may not be able to stop these people, but he still comes out and rushes over with his life.

Elephant tombs are their most important place, they have no fixed home, wandering around, only this place is their roots, is the last place for every elephant to return to their roots, so it is also a place they resolutely protect, even at the cost of their lives.

The old elephant rushed towards the crowd with an aura that would never return.

Elephants, even with strong bodies, great strength, tough skin. But they can't resist the guns of humans.

Humans are the masters of all souls, and they do not have the ability of orangutans to climb as they please, nor the bite force of crocodiles, nor the underwater speed of sharks, nor the speed of leopards and the strength of bears, but they hold these animals down. Become the existence at the top of the food chain.

It's because of wisdom, because of tools.

Humans craft tools, hunt these animals, and eventually become the rulers of the planet.

As the gunshots rang out, blood bloomed on the old elephant's body, and the ammunition shot through the skin, through the muscles, and splattered with blood.

In the end, the elephant failed to attack the gravediggers and did not defend the tomb because it was too weak.

The old elephant let out several long howls of sorrow, raised its head to the sky and howled, and finally its legs were paralyzed and fell to the ground, but its head was carried and not lowered, as if it were contempt for mankind.

This is his pride, the pride of being an elephant! the pride of not giving up even when he dies.

Looking at the old elephant who fell to the ground, Lin Yi was faintly touched in his heart. Touched by his pride statement.

Meantime. There is also some rejoicing. I'm glad I didn't rush in the first place. Otherwise, he will be directly scolded by this old guy, and it will become a gourd.

But this old elephant is too good to hold on, it's been three days, and he hasn't died for three days with such a serious injury. When I watched it before. It didn't even breathe, but I didn't expect it to be dead.

It's a good thing it's too weak, or else. There's no way it's so easy to kill it with a few shots.

Lin Yi sighed slightly, because he originally wanted them to die by themselves. I didn't expect to die at the hands of humans in the end.

The other, more seriously injured elephant, did not come out, presumably dead.

However, Lin Yi was still a little uneasy, and used his ability to carefully examine the corpse of another elephant. The other party's heart is not beating, and it can be determined that he is really dead.

At this time, Lin Yi reacted and entered. It's really because the scene just now is a little scary, because if it's in a cave, it's very dangerous.

Bypassing the huge old elephant, Lin Yi took out a headlamp and put it on his head, entered the cave, and the bodyguards surrounded Lin Yi with guns vigilantly one after another.

The cave was extremely dark, and when the light shone on the dark cave, everyone was stunned.

The cave was full of white bones and tusks, all piled up in a dry place deep in the cave, and there was nothing but some pools.

And, of course, an elephant that has died.

Being well organized, that's the first feeling of everybody.

Picking up a pair of tusks, Lin Yi looked at them carefully, and the top pairs were milky white.

The ivory on the market today is divided into African ivory and Asian ivory. African ivory is generally long, its dentine is relatively hard and milky white, and the best quality mainly comes from Tanzania and Cameroon.

Asian tusks are generally shorter. White but yellowish, the elephants here definitely belong to Africa.

However, this seems to be nonsense, because this is Africa!

There is always some color change in the ivory over time.

The pair of tusks that Lin Yi is holding in his hand now are obviously not very new, and the color has not changed in the slightest, which shows that the elephant has not been dead for a long time.
