Chapter 1283 The Monkey as an Excuse (1/2)

Steve felt that it was ridiculous to search for the mammoth cemetery by simply going around, staying on the earth's surface. The carcasses of the mammoths would be hidden underground. There would not be any sign of them on the face of the earth.

Had it been otherwise, the work of the mammoth ivory hunters would not be so difficult. They would not need several months to find ivory.

Li Du said, ”Then you come up with another solution. How would we be able to find the ivory more effectively?”

The ivory hunters had a tough job. Based on their experience, they would decide whether an area might have mammoth remains. Then, they would start to excavate heavily all around, searching for the mammoth skeletons.

Hence, their job would severely damage the environment of the taiga.

Steve said, ”It's definitely not enough to survey the earth's surface. You can look for a couple of those excavator machines. Then we can do some digging here in the area. Perhaps we can find some of the mammoths buried underground.”

Li Du shook his head and said, ”That would mean doing it blindly. There's no knowing how much time it might take. We might not find the location of the mammoth cemetery even after a month.”

Hearing that, Steve smiled and said, ”Alright, so you're saying that just walking and looking around like we're doing now isn't searching blindly?”

Li Du grinned and replied, ”Who says that I'm just looking around?”

Steve became suspicious, ”Then what are you planning?”

Li Du patted his shoulder and said, ”Why did you think I brought this little guy along? It can help us to locate the mammoth cemetery.”

Seeing that Li Du's hand was reaching over, the little white monkey, too, reached out and patted the back of his hand.

Steve was shocked, ”You think it has this ability?”

Li Du shrugged. ”Who knows? I feel that it might. Why do you think those monkeys were hanging around the mammoth cemetery on the island?”

”Weren't they living there?” Steve said matter-of-factly.

Li Du shook his head. ”A mammoth burial ground isn't any old place. As you know, the mammoths used to chose the cemetery location after receiving some sort of attraction vibes to the place. I think these white monkeys can also feel such things.”

”Why did the two white apes live on that small island, of all places? How did they get there? How did they survive? Obviously, they had arrived on the island from somewhere else.”

”As for why they went there, I guess that they must have felt some sort of message and purposefully chosen that place as their own cemetery. That means to say, this little guy would be able to sense the location of a mammoth cemetery.”

Hearing this explanation, Steve looked stunned. He said, ”Buddy, you are really imaginative! How were you able to come up with such a theory? This is unbelievable.”

Li Du said, ”Then just wait and see. I believe Ah Bai has this ability.”

Of course, the little white monkey did not possess any such skills. However, just as Li Du had used Crispy Noodles as a smokescreen when they were looking for fire opals at the opal park, he now resorted to the same tactic with the little white monkey.

It would be the little bug, of course, to search for the mammoth cemetery. While Li Du sat in the slowly moving car, the two little bugs continued the search underground.

Steve and the Ford brothers shook their heads and exchanged a look. Then they continued to shake their heads.

They felt that it was a useless effort, the same as Li Du had thought about the 'Fifth Dimension' they told him they were looking for. A waste of time.

After patiently searching around the plateau for two days, the little bug finally discovered the location of the underground mammoth cemetery. As the saying goes, 'Seek, and ye shall find'.

Hundreds or even thousands of mammoth fossils were hidden under the frozen ground. They spanned across a large territory. After two days of putting in his best effort, Li Du finally managed to reap the rewards.

He gave the little white monkey a peanut and pointed to the ground. Then he waved his wrists up and down and quietly said to it, ”Jump at that point. When you reach that point, jump there. Do you understand? Jump there!”
