Li Du, who was cleaning the antelope specimen, heard faint shouts and cursing. He looked out curiously, and said, ”Seems like someone is in a fight.”

Hans was busy looking through the box that Godzilla had moved out, and casually said, ”Ignore them—is fighting not uncommon?”

After saying that, he used an army knife to slit open a box, then crash!, two crocodile heads had been stacked together dropped.

These two crocodile heads had been very exquisitely made into specimens. Their skin was well-kept, their eyes big and lively, and the teeth sharp. They looked very lifelike.

When crocodile head specimens appeared, Hans was thrilled instantly. He grabbed one of the crocodile heads and shouted, ”Hey, buddies, come and take a look. Look at what I discovered!”

”Wow, did you manage to hunt down a crocodile?” Li Du said playfully.

Hans chuckled and said, ”Of course, I am the Marsh Hunter King! Continue searching and see if there are any other specimens. This type of crocodile head specimen is not bad—the value is higher than that of antelope and reindeer.”

”How much is it worth?”

Hans said, ”Based on this quality, it would not be a problem to sell each one for 2,000 dollars.”

”So expensive?” Li Du was truly surprised. He had searched online previously, and discovered that such crocodile head specimens were probably worth a few hundred dollars only.

Hans quickly answered his query: ”If they were common crocodile heads, such as South America’s Amazon crocodiles, African crocodiles, Indian crocodiles, and the South Asian crocodiles, then they would not be that valuable.

”But this is not a crocodile at all; it is a type of alligator from the Mississippi River. This type of alligator has been banned from being hunted, so its value is higher.”

As he said this, Godzilla moved another box out, which opened up to reveal two more alligator heads.

Hans was thrilled again, and his happiness continued to grow until all five boxes were moved out. There were a total of twenty-two alligator heads; eight adult alligator heads, and four small, young alligator heads.

The discovery of these specimens gave them the opportunity to make money. The twelve alligator heads could be sold for almost 30,000 dollars; the small alligator heads were even more expensive because there were fewer young alligators.

There were still boxes behind, but these boxes need to be closely examined, as they contained the cow leather and had been bundled up.

Hans opened them carefully, and when he saw the leather items inside, he appeared stunned, and said, ”Hey guys, come over quickly. Come and look here!”

Li Du went over and took out a piece of leather. This leather was shiny and cool; it could make one unconsciously feel better when touching it on a hot day.

”What kind of leather is this?” he asked.

Hans looked at the grains on it, and then looked at the alligator head, and slowly said, ”I guess this is alligator leather, and alligator leather that is specially used for watch straps.”

Li Du was definitely unable to make this out, so he asked, ”How did you deduce that? Even if it is alligator skin, it could possibly be used to make belts or leather shoes.”

Hans carefully put the alligator skin away, and said, ”This is just my guess. We should go back and find a leather shop to take a look at this.”

The alligator skins were gathered in two boxes made of cow leather. There were twenty pieces in each box, with a total of forty pieces, and weighed about ninety pounds.

After placing the specimens and alligator skins into the truck, Godzilla began to clean up the storage unit.

He worked nimbly, but the sky was already dark. There were a lot of storage units up for auction, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon by the time the earlier auctions had ended.
