Plan to hunt giant elephants

The sky is white, the birds in the trees begin to chirp tirelessly, the early birds have worms, and the hard-working birds may be rewarded for their hard work. It was another uncertain day for the members of the adventure team, with some gains and some not, and even dangers if they were unlucky. On this day, the head of the regiment got up first, and began to shout loudly to the team members to get up, and when all the people arrived, they began to talk about the plan. The regimental commander cleared his throat and said, "Maybe in the next few days, we will have to look for the Feroni giant elephant until we find it, and then we can hunt it, and we don't even know where the prey is, and all plans are in vain." Now let's talk about it, our base camp is here, and two people are on duty at the camp. There are 12 of us, and a team of two people is divided into 6 groups, and you are free to form teams. Lots are drawn to decide who stays to guard the camp. Do you have any comments?"

The team members all said they had no opinion, and then they teamed up, because Galen rarely communicated with others, and no one teamed up with him. Seeing this, the head of the regiment asked Galen to team up with him, and the others were a little envious, but they didn't say anything, because he was the only one left. After the team was formed, they began to draw lots to decide who would be on duty at the camp, this simple job, Galen did not draw, was drawn by two taller players, both of them were very happy, and they could rest for another day.

In addition to the two people who remained, the remaining 10 people were assigned to 5 different places to find the whereabouts of the giant elephant. Before leaving, the regiment commander emphasized again: "Don't get lost, you must remember the way back, it's best to make a mark, if you get lost, I won't be able to find you, you will stay here forever if you get lost." After the head of the regiment said these words, everyone began to set off in different directions one after another.

Galen and the head of the regiment are on the same team, and they were assigned by the commander to the area where the most animals are infested, and that area is also very close to the lake, Galen can finally take a look at the lake from a close distance, and it is good to satisfy his curiosity a little, and he is very satisfied with the assignment of the regiment commander, so he happily follows the regiment leader. The regimental commander walked in front and didn't say much, and Galen didn't usually talk much, so he followed him not far behind.

Just walked like this, walked for a long time, and suddenly the regimental commander made a stop gesture, and Galen slowly walked in the direction of the regimental commander, came to the regimental commander's side and whispered what was wrong. The regimental commander said, "You don't see a lion in the grass, it's in the grass." Then the regimental commander pointed to a bush in front of him, and Galen looked closely, and there were indeed two lions in the bush. If Galen didn't look at it very seriously, it would be impossible to find the lion hiding in the grass, and the head of the regiment really had two hits, and he might encounter much less danger.

Galen was stunned for a moment in quick thought, and then replied that he did. The head of the regiment thought that Galen had only seen it after looking at it for a while, so he said, "Let's go around this place, where there are lions, there is usually a group of lions, and bypassing is the best choice." With that, the head of the regiment began to slow down and walked, and Galen followed. After more than an hour, Galen and the regimental commander finally arrived at the planned position. The leader began to look around, there were all kinds of footprints on the ground, and sika deer could be seen not far away in Galen, there were really a lot of animals in this place, but there was no trace of a giant elephant.

Galen did not look carefully at the footprints on the ground like the head of the group, but looked at the lake not far away, and there were many animals drinking water at the edge of the lake, and Galen looked at these drinking animals intently. Suddenly, a large crocodile jumped up from the water, bit a small antelope at once, and dragged it directly into the water, and the surrounding animals scattered and fled. Galen finally saw the appearance of the crocodile, a mouthful of sharp teeth, a particularly large mouth, and it looked super vicious, it was certain that no matter what it was, as long as it was bitten, it was basically impossible to break free.

Galen had been looking at the lake, and it was a long time before he withdrew his gaze, and when he looked around again, the regimental commander had no idea where he had gone. Galen shouted a few times, but the regimental commander did not answer. Galen was a little flustered, after all, he hadn't walked to such a place, it was not okay to walk around, and it was not a way to wait here. Galen was desperately thinking about how to deal with it, and suddenly he remembered that the regimental commander would mark the ground every time he walked on the road.

Sure enough, Galen saw a mark not far away, and then Galen looked carefully and found a second mark. Galen followed these marks, sped up, and followed all the way, and after half an hour, Galen finally saw the regimental commander, and Galen quickly ran to the captain's side. The regiment commander looked at the panting Galen and asked, "Is the scenery by the lake beautiful?" Galen was embarrassed, scratched his head, and smiled at the regiment commander. The head of the regiment said solemnly: "No matter what, you have to follow me, don't be affected by anything else, if I don't mark it, what will you do? Galen immediately replied solemnly: "Yes, Commander! There will be no next time." ”

When the regimental commander heard Galen's answer, he didn't say anything, but looked straight at the land in front of him. Then he ran over, squatted down and looked at the footprints the size of a human head, the soil on the side of the footprints had just been turned over, and there was still a little half-wet soil, and the regiment commander said: "We should have found the target, this giant elephant should be a male elephant, the footprints of the female elephant are not so big, look at this footprint was not left long ago, this giant elephant should be moving around here." Once we've found our target, we'll look around and see if there's anything new. ”

Then Galen and the regiment commander found a lump of giant elephant feces, the feces were not completely dry, which also directly proved that there were giant elephants around, and after Galen and the regiment commander carefully looked at the surrounding situation, they found more traces, and also affirmed the regiment leader's conclusion. The regimental commander silently made a mark, and asked Galen to go back with him, back to the base camp.

After returning to the base camp, it was already evening, and everyone had returned. Galen and the regimental commander were the last to return, and the regimental commander called all the men together and told them to report on their situation first. The 3 teams found nothing, and one team member found traces of the giant elephant, and then described the traces left by the giant elephant, footprints, feces, broken twigs, etc. The regiment commander asked the team to describe the specific location, and after they said the specific location, the regiment commander found that it was very close to the area where he found the giant elephant, which also made it more certain that there was a giant elephant in that area.

After the regiment commander waited until they had finished speaking, he said: "Calm down, let me summarize the specific situation, I also encountered the traces of the giant elephant walking today and the area where the team found the giant elephant just now, which means that the giant elephant is operating in that area, and we need a good plan to hunt the giant elephant." "When the head of the regiment finished speaking, everyone began to discuss again one by one, and there was no practical result, everyone had their own opinions, there was no unified plan at all, and no one was convinced by anyone.

Seeing this, the head of the regiment told them that the plan was not practical, and that they still needed to do it themselves. Thinking of some of the plans they said a few days ago, it is impossible to kill the giant elephant by brute force, the number of people is too small, and the equipment is not good, so you can only kill the giant elephant by strategy, but a good strategy is difficult to come up with, and it must be very operable. They were still arguing, the head of the regiment sitting on one side in deep thought, and Galen sitting on the side thinking.

After more than ten minutes, there was still no result, and the regimental commander told everyone to quiet down and asked them if they had a foolproof plan. All the people fell silent, every plan was flawed, and the safety of those who carried it out could not be guaranteed. For example, the bad idea of provoking the giant elephant, making the giant elephant show its weakness, and then shooting it with a crossbow arrow, whoever provokes the giant elephant will put himself on the cusp. At this time, Galen seemed to have something to say, and he looked like he wanted to stop.

The regimental commander saw Galen's desire to speak, but he was not confident. The head of the regiment told Galen to speak out boldly, even if it was wrong, it didn't matter. Galen said, "I heard you say a few days ago that there are two plans to shoot the giant elephant with a giant crossbow and poison the giant elephant, and I think it can be combined, that is, the crossbow arrow is coated with poison, as long as the giant elephant is shot, the giant elephant will not be able to escape after being injured, and it will be poisoned to death, this is the solution I came up with." After Galen finished speaking, the head of the regiment paused for a while, then clapped his hands and shouted, saying: "Why haven't I thought of such a simple and effective method, and so are you, so many people can't think of one person." Then he pointed to the rest of the team.

Seeing this, Galen said: "I just summarized the ideas of all of them, I didn't make much effort, the biggest credit goes to the team members, it was their ideas that inspired me." When the others heard Galen say this, their faces were gone, and their expressions softened. Galen came up with a good plan, and he didn't swallow the credit alone, everyone's evaluation of Galen was much better, and it felt a lot more pleasing to the eye when looking at Galen. The regimental commander didn't say anything more, so he told all the people to disperse, rest well, and start the hunt plan tomorrow.

By the next morning, most of the people were already up, because they had a hunt plan, they had a goal, everything was ready, and they were just waiting for the plan to be carried out. Everyone wants to complete the task early, so they all get up early, which is a true portrayal of the so-called 'people with dreams don't sleep'. After a while, all the people gathered together, and the regimental commander said: "Pack up your things, all of you set off at your destination, success or failure is here, only success is allowed, and there is no chance if you fail once." ”

All the people were enthusiastic, and the whole group walked towards the place where the giant elephant was found. A few hours later, the enthusiasm of the people had not diminished, and they were heading forward against the sun. Although it is autumn, there is not much place to block the sun in the grassland, and the autumn in the grassland is still very hot. In this state, the team members quickly reached their destination, and then the team members rested for more than an hour, drank some water, and then separated to find the giant elephant.

Soon in the evening, the team found more traces of the giant elephant, and all the information indicated that there was only one large giant elephant here, and that the single giant elephant that was moving was basically a male giant elephant. I haven't seen a giant elephant yet, but it's almost certain that I'll be able to see it this time. After a day of searching, we didn't really find the giant elephant, but there was no loss on everyone's faces, because all the circumstances indicated that the giant elephant was around, and as long as you were patient, the giant elephant would definitely appear.

At the end of the day, the regimental commander called all the people together and summed up the day's findings, many of whom saw the footprints of the giant elephant and some of the signs left by other giant elephants. In order to motivate everyone's fighting spirit, the head of the regiment said: "The giant elephant is around, we will soon complete the task, and the commission after completing this task can make us not have to work for at least a year, everyone continue to work hard." When everyone heard this, they became more energetic, and then they dispersed and began to rest, and greeted the new day in the best condition.
