Chapter 1269 Site Compensation (2/2)

Li Du was confident that he could find the ivory, so he had prepared all the digging tools including water cannons, an air compressor, and a wind cannon.

He told Brother Wolf, Godzilla, and the others to prepare, and asked Hank to ask the local people in the nearby village whether they would like to earn some extra money. He offered two thousand rubles for each extracted tusk.

Two thousand rubles was a small price to pay for ivory, but local labor was cheap.

If the people in the village were willing to work hard, they would surely feel satisfied with the money, because there were so many ivory tusks here, and Li Du estimated more than ten could be dug up in a day, which means they could earn tens of thousands of rubles each day, whereas locals would often earn less than 100,000 rubles a year by fishing and raising sheep.

Li Du took some fruit to feed the little monkey. Ah Meng and his party followed. When they saw the little monkey, Ah Meow's eyes lit up and, like a sharp arrow, he swooshed towards it.

The little white monkey was frightened and darted up the wall on his hands and feet.

Li Du quickly stopped Ah Meow, who had rushed after the little white monkey. Hearing Li Du's shout, he stopped and then casually tapped the terrified little monkey with his paw before he ran back in ease.

Ah Ow was also becoming interested in the little white monkey.

Li Du had to chase them away, and then took out an apple for the little monkey. He said, ”Come on, have something to eat.”

The little white monkey hid behind a rock, only one eye peeping as it fearfully stared at Li Du.

Li Du found out that an apple was clearly not tempting enough, so he took out a banana again, and after peeling it, he offered it to the little white monkey. The little monkey did not even bother to look.

”Damn,” Li Du was depressed.

He offered the monkey every kind of fruit he had and even took out a bottle of honey, but the little creature did not care. It only glanced in his direction from time to time to see if Li Du would do something threatening.

Li Du was at a loss. The monkey had an unusual nature and was not interested in fruit.

He did not believe that any monkey would not like to eat fruit, so he played a waiting strategy to observe the little monkey's diet.

After a long standoff, the monkey got hungry and began to look for food.

To Li Du's surprise, the little monkey looked for worms to eat on the ground, and sometimes slapped a big mosquito and put it into its mouth. It ate whatever it met; unexpectedly it was a carnivore.

However, when Li Du offered him things like dried meat, fresh meat, raw meat, and cooked meat, it did not even bother to look in his direction.

Li Du was at his wits' end. He really couldn't handle the monkey.

Brother Wolf and the others were ready. Hankway told him that the people in the village were interested in making money and would work for him.

Li Du squatted on a stone helplessly, nibbling at the apple, then threw the apple core on the ground and said, ”Wait a little, don't start just yet.”

Steve said, ”Yeah, this is their nest. It's not good for us to invade and destroy their nest, is it?”

He Li Du's very own words. Li Du was speechless.

Brother Wolf shook his head. He and Hank could not understand. In their eyes, it was kind enough to drive the little monkey away without hurting it. Why would they bother with it further?

When Li Du was about to leave, the little monkey crept up to the core of the apple he had thrown away and sniffed at it.

Then, with Li Du looking at it furtively, the little monkey picked up the apple core.
