In nature, there are often many things that cannot be understood by humans or that cannot be deduced by modern science. Not to mention, the intricate relationships between various creatures in the tropical rain forest cannot be explained by Darwin's theory of evolution and
can be explained by simple food chain relationships.
Some people even predict that if humans can completely understand the tropical rainforest, it will inevitably lead to a new round of biological changes! As for the exact reason why elephants will protect their ancestors' tusks and avoid going to the elephant cemetery when they are in danger
Method, this does sound a bit unbelievable, but Tang Feng thinks it is not impossible.
Animals feed back, and this emotion is more sincere and sincere than that of humans! What’s more, for elephants, which are extremely spiritual animals. People are still mysterious that old elephants can accurately predict their own death dates, so even if they are no longer
Even if Tang Feng makes any strange move, he will not think it is completely impossible!
Seeing Leopard's stunned look of surprise, Xiao Jie'er couldn't help but roll her eyes. She knew very well that Leopard was just talking nonsense just now, but she didn't expect Tang Feng to actually believe it seriously.
"Boss" Xiao Jie'er wanted to persuade Tang Feng. The swamp itself is already a very dangerous existence. It is not that there are no swamps in the tropical rainforest, but in such a canyon, there is such a place shrouded in thick water mist.
Living in a swamp is absolutely extraordinary.
Who knows what kind of dangers are hidden under this swamp, in this thick fog, and behind this swamp? And why did the elephant choose this place as a cemetery? Of course, this is when the tiger idiot is completely believed, but in reality
Shanghu Chi has never been to the jungles of southern Xinjiang, how could he know if there is an elephant cemetery here?
Xiao Jie'er is full of doubts about Hu Chi, a northern "savage" who was born in the great forests of Northeast China, who came to the tropical rainforest of southern Xinjiang to act as a guide and expert. This guy is the most unfavorable. Every time he goes out to explore the road,
This kid didn't have to find a pool to cool down, and now he came to tell me that behind this is an elephant cemetery that the world has never seen before. In all likelihood, he was confused by the heat.
Besides, it is very clear what the total length of this canyon is. Although the sides and end of the canyon are steep and difficult to descend, we can see from the information obtained by our own people there that this canyon is not very long.
The intelligence from the previous tiger idiot also confirmed this. Under such circumstances, as long as this swamp is slightly larger, it will almost extend to the end of the canyon. How can there be an elephant cemetery?
It's a pity that as soon as Xiao Jie'er opened her mouth, she was stopped by Tang Feng. Of course Tang Feng knew what Xiao Jie'er was suspecting. But he would rather believe Hu Chi. The more people can't understand it, it's a bit unbelievable.
The more things can show the value of Hu Chi. Tang Feng is willing to use such a painless thing to measure the value of Hu Chi.
In the words of Hu Chi, he came here because of the mourning of the elephants. He also wanted to save these elephants, but unfortunately he was forced to flee due to the superior firepower of Kikenan and others. And Kikenan's
While chasing the tiger idiot, the man also easily killed the entire elephant herd.
It has been confirmed that Kikenan discovered this canyon accidentally. The question now is, why do these elephants live here? How can the tiger idiot know that behind this misty swamp, there is another large
Elephant cemetery? Did the elephant really tell him?
If it is true, then Tiger Chi can understand animal language? In this way, he will not only be invincible in the jungle, but will also generate huge energy in other aspects. His words can be used in many cases.
Change the lives and deaths of many people and the results of many things.
"Haha, I also know that this matter is a bit unreliable, but if we can really find a passage in this misty swamp and find the elephant cemetery behind it, wouldn't everything be clear?" Tang Feng
Smiled slightly and said softly.
Leopard also nodded beside him, and Hu Chi was stunned for a moment before he realized that the people in Qing Dynasty didn't believe him: "Brother, leave the matter of finding the passage to me. I will definitely take you to the real place."
Elephant graveyard!”
As Hu Chi said, he was about to run along the swamp. When Tang Feng saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, Hu Chi, do you know what a swamp is? People can sink in here."
"In this jungle, there are places where I can suffer a loss, but this small mud pond in front of me is definitely not one of them!" Hu Chi's eyes were as wide as a light bulb. After speaking the big words, he immediately ran away without looking back.
Go out. This plain is no bigger than a basketball court, and the tiger rushes into the jungle next to it.
"Hey, no," Tang Feng looked at his back speechlessly, then turned to look at Leopard and Xiao Jie'er and said, "Do you think Tiger Chi has seen a swamp before?"
Leopard shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think there are more lumps and holes in the ice in the northeast. Do you think Tiger Idiot mistook this swamp for snow?"
"Probably not, this guy is still very sensitive to danger!" Xiao Jie'er frowned slightly, looked at Tang Feng and said: "If it's just to find a way, he will probably try it by himself."
"Then why don't you follow up and take a look? It's almost dark today. If that guy is really stupid for a moment," Tang Feng snorted coldly.
Leopard smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to follow him, but look at how fast that kid runs? He looks like a rabbit, and he's a rabbit that can climb trees. He has long since disappeared."
When Tang Feng saw this, he took a look, right? At this moment, even the shadow of Hu Chi was gone. Is there such a way to find the way? No matter how you look at it, this guy seems to be running away more often.
"Forget it, don't worry about him for now, let's see what Kikenan and the others left for us first!" Tang Feng smiled bitterly, turned around and said. It would be too much to bury these elephant carcasses on the spot.
It's a waste. If it can be handed over to Zhuge Yunfeng, maybe it can make some contribution to the research above, right?
Anyway, it was a favor, so I gave it to him. Tang Feng secretly made up his mind and walked to the center of the grass here. In terms of terrain, the jungle where they came was higher, and the swamp was naturally the lowest.
From this point of view, it is not surprising that swamps can form.
The rainforest is a place with abundant rain, coupled with the numerous decaying organisms, the swamps form a lot of fog under the transpiration of the sun. However, the fog here is thick and persistent, and coupled with the appearance of this canyon and elephants,
It seems a little strange.
Tang Feng looked at the footprints around him. It was obvious that some of Kikenan's men had also received strict orders not to approach the swamp. Looking at the fog, although it did not look like a miasma, Tang Feng still ordered some of his men not to approach. Then Tang Feng looked at the footprints around him.
Only then did Feng have the heart to look at the arrangements on the grass here!
In front of Tang Feng and others, there were several bonfires with smoking equipment installed on them, so that it would be impossible to light a fire in the jungle. Tang Feng and others because such equipment was too bulky,
In addition, Zhuge Yunfeng did not prepare anything for them in order to train troops, so Tang Feng and the others did not bring this thing.
There were dry firewood, food, and even a few large pots with boiling water beside the bonfire. Apparently, these people were preparing to eat when the tiger idiot came out, but the tiger idiot ruined their good deeds, and they were all
He went and never came back. However, at this time, Tang Feng and others did not focus on the bonfire or food.
In the center of several bonfires, there was a pile of white ivory. More than thirty primitive ivory tusks, which had not been processed, were placed there calmly. They shone with an alluring light under the slanting sunlight.
Tang Feng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. This was not the first time he had seen ivory, but it was the first time he had seen so many tusks put together. The longest one was about 1.23 meters long, which was a meter thicker than an adult's arm.
The short ones are sixty or seventy centimeters, about the size of a child's arm. All the ivory tusks are round and delicate. They are piled together like this. It is easy to imagine that the tools and ornaments made by them are favored by those European and American ladies.
A scene that people are looking for.
No wonder the poaching of animals, especially elephants, is so intensified that no one can stop it. I am afraid a large part of the reason for this is the preference of those noble ladies. Ivory chopsticks, ivory chess pieces, ivory combs, just like fur,
This is probably the same as those so-called successful people pursuing crocodile skin.
"These ivory tusks, if processed, would probably be worth tens of millions of dollars, right?" Leopard exhaled softly and swallowed softly.
"You are wrong. According to the current US dollar exchange rate, these are worth at least 100 million US dollars. With nearly forty elephants, the size of this elephant herd is obviously not small. It is no wonder that Kikonan's men are so angry because of this.
Fight!" Tang Feng said softly with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth.
"Boss, what is this?" Leopard suddenly pointed at the green grass under his feet that was almost the size of the entire basketball court, and said softly.
"This is eucalyptus, a parasitic plant." Tang Feng smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate them. Don't you see that this territory has been occupied by them? All the rhizomes of this grass are connected together to form
A huge network. There seem to be countless trees, but in fact they grow from the same root. Therefore, they can be said to be the existence of tens of thousands of incarnations in the grass. If their living conditions were not too harsh, then even the entire tropical
It’s no surprise that the rainforest has become their world!”
Tang Feng took a breath and said softly: "No wonder this place has become the private territory of elephants. Firstly, the elephant herd is large, and ordinary individuals do not dare to provoke them even if they are powerful. Secondly, there is no food necessary for other animals here.
.This eucalyptus can only be digested by elephants, which is probably one of the big reasons."
"There is also the existence of the elephant cemetery. This canyon is difficult to find. In addition, there is an escape route here. This must be why the elephants regard this canyon as their base camp." The leopard nodded lightly: "Only
I'm afraid there is a wider area outside the canyon that is also their territory. No wonder we didn't see any other animals or beasts along the way!"
"Yes, animals all have territories. Even if this is the territory of elephants, there will be other animals. We didn't encounter them. It's just because there are so many of us and we have odor-masking potions smeared on our bodies.
"Xiao Jie'er curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"Boss, I think it's getting late, let's camp here. Anyway, someone has already prepared it for us, which just gives us an advantage." Xiao Jie'er didn't even look at the leopard, and turned to Tang Feng and said.
"Well, that's fine. We'll have dinner here tonight, and then go camp near the canyon." Tang Feng nodded.
Xiao Jie'er immediately left in response, and Leopard murmured dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, a little girl is not too embarrassed to eat on the corpse of a dead person in a place where someone just died!"
"What did you say?" Xiao Jie'er's brows immediately stood up, and she turned around and stared at the leopard coldly. The leopard waved its hands repeatedly as if it had seen the big bad wolf's rabbit: "No, I didn't say anything, hey
, I mean how can you be so busy alone? Let me come over and help you!"
"No need!" Xiao Jie'er dropped two words, walked up to Long Dachuan and others, and said loudly: "Check their food. If it is not poisonous, make a fire and cook immediately. The other people are responsible for keeping watch."
"Hey!" Leopard sighed softly, with a look of disappointment on his face. Tang Feng, who had been looking at them, couldn't help but reveal a funny expression on his lips, and chuckled: "What's wrong? You're dejected, this doesn't look like you.
What a leopard style! Do you want to give up?"
"It's not that I want to give up." Leopard breathed out and said softly: "It's just that she didn't give me a chance. She supported me no matter what I said. Boss, it seems that she still hasn't forgotten you in her heart. Anyway, you have three children now.
You already have a wife, so you might as well take her in and become your mistress. Anyway, my sisters-in-law won’t mind, and she will be happy if she follows you, so I’ll feel relieved.”
Tang Feng immediately raised his leg and kicked it hard. The leopard hurriedly dodged sideways. Tang Feng said angrily: "Get out of here, who did you follow the glib tongue for no reason and start talking nonsense? No wonder Xiao Jie'er doesn't want to pay attention to you.
Look what you've become now? You're actually making fun of me. I think you deserve a beating!"
Leopard laughed stiffly, and still looked at Xiao Jie'er dejectedly. Leopard liked Xiao Jie'er. Ever since he joined Blue Eagle and saw Xiao Jie'er for the first time, Leopard has been attracted by the kind of Xiao Jie'er that other girls don't like.
He was impressed by his valiant and heroic demeanor. However, at that time, Xiao Jie'er's thoughts were all on Tang Feng, so Bao Zi could only put this thought in his heart.
But now, Tang Feng has left Lan Ying, got married, and had children. It is obviously impossible for him and Xiao Jie'er. Only then did Bao Zi's thoughts come alive again. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get them back.
Look at Xiao Jie'er's gentle eyes once!
"Idiot, Xiao Jie'er actually likes you." Tang Feng raised his leg and kicked Leopard in the face, scolding him softly.
