Chapter 1269 Site Compensation (1/2)

The little white monkey was very lively, jumping, running and screeching.

Li Du felt funny looking at it. This little thing was not even a child's knee height and had no combat skills. He was not sure whether it was ignorant or brave to be so aggressive in front of them.

Then, however, he felt somewhat touched. The little thing was actually very timid. He was scared and ran away when it saw Ali.

However, when it discovered the public was touching the bodies of what Li Du presumed were its parents, it has no hesitation to jump out and drive the intruders away. From this point of view, the little monkey was a dutiful child.

Li Du didn't understand much about biology but took it for granted that the two dead white apes on the ground were the parents of the little monkey. There was no doubt about it; the little monkey must have come from somewhere.

Steve wanted to grab the monkeys. He waved to his people and said, ”Take them. We'll go back and study them. I think we found a new species of primates.”

A bodyguard came forward, but the little monkey refused to let go. It reached out and grabbed a stone from the ground, staring at the bodyguard ferociously.

”Be careful so that it doesn't bite you, or you may catch some diseases,” Some people laughed and joked.

Li Du thought about it for a while, then went up and said, ”Come on, Steve, don't hurt the little fella. This is their nest. It is not good that you want to move them away.”

Steve looked at him in surprise and said, ”Hey Li, we're not going to take him. We're not going to hurt him… okay, you're right.”

Steve was not an unreasonable person and did not lack sympathy. In fact, Steve's personality was the best among all the rich heirs that Li Du knew.

Steve shrugged and said, ”Well, I'll take a few pictures. Is that okay?”

”Go ahead,” Li Du laughed.

Brother Wolf led the group to back away a little. ”Boss. This is monkey territory. What about ivory? Shall we stop digging?”

Li Du was stunned.

He hadn't thought of it until now, as if he had been a little distracted since he had arrived in Siberia.

The ivory was not only for making money, but also part of a plan to capture Jonas Malone, and if he could not extract the deposit here, he would have to go to another ivory stash.

However, he didn't have that much time.

Steve pulled out his camera and took a series of photos. The flash went off and on, and the little monkey blinked and looked at them in horror from behind a dead monkey's body.

Li Du said, ”We'll dig ivory, but we don't harm this monkey, is this okay?”

He pondered and guiltily said, ”I'll give it something to eat. Look at it, it's skin and bones. It must be very hungry.”

Firecracker said casually, ”Boss, aren't you a little too kind?”

Li Du felt helpless. He had shown his kindness in front of Steve, so now he might as well carry on.

Mammoth tusks were usually stuck in frozen soil and needed to be washed with a high-pressure water jet before they could be retrieved.

There were hundreds of mammoth carcasses in this burial ground, which was worth millions of dollars in ivory alone, and tens of millions with the mammoth bones.

Moreover, it was right next to the lake, with easy access to water. It would be simple enough to wash the tusks and bones out.
