Chapter 958 Ultraviolet Ray Poisoning (1/2)
Li Du and Sophie could only keep calling. They did not dare to shout too loudly because
they were afraid they would make the hippopotamus angry.
However, Ali's actions have attracted so much attention that several soldiers, armed
with guns, turned to watch the scene.
Naturally, people cheered and talked. Their voices drowned out the alarmed calls of Li
Du and Sophie, which Ali did not hear for a moment anyway.
A lot of people took out cameras to take photos, and some took videos with their mobile
phone, watching happily:
”Haha, this baby kangaroo is really bold, is it provoking the hippopotamus?”
”I think this is boxing. Look at its steps, look at its fists, man. This is the real thing.”
”But he's no match for a hippopotamus. Take a gamble. How long will it take for it to be
killed?”
Li Du could not help shouting, ”Ali, come back, damn it!”
At this, some of the yellow-skinned men looked at him and smiled. ”Hey, brother.
Chinese?”
How would Li Du be in the mood to chat? He stared at Ali and shouted, ”Come back
quickly! Damn it, come back quick!”
Finally, Ali heard his voice. It turned its big eyes to Li Du and blinked, then closed its fist
and jumped back.
Li Du reached for the little kangaroo. Ali knew that it would be doomed if Li Du caught it.
It jumped lightly and nimbly to avoid his arms, and ran to hide behind Sophie's, poking
its head out and to look at Li Du.
People all around burst out laughing:
”Oh, this kangaroo is really clever.”
”How lovely, my dear. I want a kangaroo, too!”
”You couldn't even keep a tortoise alive, let alone a kangaroo!”
If Ali thought Sophie would protect it, it was obviously wrong. Sophie crouched down,
grabbed it and pressed it to her knee. She then proceeded to spank it.
Li Du gallantly handed her a shoe. Sophie took it with a straight face and spanked Ali
again.
Ali's eyes were full of tears at this punishment. It squeaked and begged for mercy, but
Sophie was unmoved. ”Go on, make more noise! You are crying now, huh? When will
you behave?”
Luckily, the creature Ali provoked was a hippo with thick skin and rough flesh. If it had
been a lion, Li Du and the others could have arranged for its funeral.
Sophie had to make it know its capabilities. Since Ali since started boxing, it grew bold
and did not seem to realize there were creatures greater and stronger than itself. It
would hit anyone that happened to stand in its way.
Several of the Chinese people in the crowd went to Li Du. Following Chinese social
customs, someone handed him a cigarette and asked, ”Dude, where are you from?”
Li Du rejected the cigarette and introduced himself briefly.
There were five people on the other side, all working on infrastructure projects in South
Africa. The local project leader invited them to participate in a hunt.
Both parties talked briefly and left contact information for each other. After all, the
hunting area was vast and there were wild animals and foreigners around. It felt more
comfortable to have the contact information of compatriots.
The lion hunters quickly settled on tickets, or hunting permits, which come in a variety of
prices from $500 to $8,000.
With different specifications, they could kill different species of animals. The lion hunter
purchased the top range of the hunting license, $8,000 each so that they could kill any
animal they wanted. It was a special pass for wealthy people.
