Chapter 1267 In The Hole (1/2)

The lake island's territory was quite large, covering several thousand square meters. It was full of weeds and had no trees. However, the weeds could reach as high as a man's waist.

The lakeside soil was soft. When Brother Wolf wanted to step on it, Li Du stopped him and threw Ah Meow ahead.

Ah Meow landed lightly, but his feet sank down in the mud, and Li Du shook his head. ”No, we can't get off here.”

Li Du was very careful since he almost drowned in the swamp. Life was really beautiful, and he had no intention to part with it anytime soon!

Brother Wolf threw a piece of wood forward and stepped on it. After he probed the soil this way, he nodded and said, ”No problem here.”

Li Du and the others got off the boat. There was no need to worry about crocodiles, snakes or other deadly killers here. The climate was too cold for such beasts to live here.

However, they had to watch out for the countless annoying mosquitoes that would bite them relentlessly for hours and days. It was sometimes worse than being stung by a wasp.

The island was located in the middle of a lake. It didn't look high or very big, but it was actually quite solid.

They marched up on the island. After a while, Brother Wolf beckoned, saying, ”Boss, there is a hole.”

Li Du carefully approached and looked. Indeed, there was a big hole on the rocky island. It was quite large, about a few hundred square feet in size.

Its soil looked to be the same as the rest of the island. Upon closer inspection, it became clear the hole was actually a cave. It winded down, seeming to go under the lake.

Brother Wolf used a flashlight to examine the opening in the ground. The cave was deep, and there were twists and turns further on. Therefore, they could not see clearly where it led.

Seeing this, Brother Wolf put on his shoes again and said, ”I will go down and have a look.”

Li Du stopped him and looked at the five little ones.

They were smart, and they knew what Li Du was planning to do without him saying anything. They recalled what he had done to Ah Meow just now.

The little animals quickly hid in the grass, and Li Du grabbed Ali, who was the biggest. He pulled it by force, like offering a sacrifice object.

Ali tried to wriggle free, but it could not shake off Li Du and finally, was pushed in unwillingly.

”Be careful and get out quickly if there's something wrong,” Li Du tapped its head and sent it in.

Ali bounced into the cave.

Li Du was worried. He released the little bug to accompany Ali, and the little bug flew in front.

The little bug could observe the condition of the cave, but it could not feel the air quality. They still had to rely on humans to find their way down. However, finding the way was dangerous and it was better to let animals like Ali test it out.

After about 20 or 30 meters of the cave's downward slope, Li Du saw a pool of water. This was the end; there was no sign of the mammoth tusks that he wanted to find, and no visible danger.

But just as he was about to retrieve the little bug, Ali, who had followed him, let out a sudden scream, turned around, jumped vigorously and hopped away desperately.

Li Du was startled. What did it see? What was in the cave?

Then Li Du saw a white hairy creature dart away on a stone wall. This must have been what frightened Ali.

Li Du was surprised. He did not see the creature clearly, but it seemed like a monkey, with a small furry head and human-like features.

However, there were no monkeys in Siberia; humans were the only local primates here

The little bug swooshed and followed through the stone wall. Li Du saw a new branch of the cave, and a little white monkey, a little longer than his hand, was climbing up.
