Chapter 93: The Mammoth’s Tusk (2/2)

Hans took a ha inside the unit and carefully ha more of as hidden inside

As he worked on it, the thing hidden inside the log was revealed It was about two , curved like a crescent moon and a color of reddish brown, yellow and white intertwining one another The base had a diameter of about 30 centimeters, and its end was pointed

Hans squatted doith both hands on his head, ”Fck, it’s ivory! God-dmned ivory!”

This was the first ivory Hans had uncovered

And there are a total of five of these logs—they will definitely be worth ht

However, Hans didn’t look too happy

”Hey, is it not a good thing that we’ve found ivory?” Li Du asked, puzzled

Hans wore a sorry smile ”America has banned the do, we can own ivory products, but we can’t sell them And as these are still in their raw state, we better hide theet seized by the authorities”

”What the!” Li Du’s good mood was ruined the moment he heard that he couldn’t sell the ivory

”But on second thought, it can’t be helped, right? Poaching is a serious problem,” Li Du added in an attempt to make Hans feel better

With each ivory piece discovered, Hans’s smile looked ether, Hans was almost in tears

Li Du patted him on his shoulder ”Hey buddy, cheer up, we still have the water pump and rubber hose—we can still earn so down, Li Du offered to drive the jeep back to Flagstaff

Just as their jeep entered Flagstaff, Hans suddenly slapped the panel of the jeep and shouted, ”I’ idiot!”

And suddenly a sharp meow followed by a thud sound was heard; Ah Meow had hit the roof of the jeep The shout had made Li Du jump as well The jeep came to an abrupt halt

”Meeeoow! Meeeoow…!” Ah Meow complained The ocelot inally having a nice nap

Li Du went on blabbering, ”D? You want to die? What are you thinking? If you want to die don’t …”

”It’s not ivory! It’s a Mammoth’s tusk!” Hans yelled excitedly

”Huh?” Li Du had a blank look on his face

Hans juht to the back, s and looked at the tusks which they had hidden underneath them as a precaution to avoid checks

”I’m an idiot— really, I am How could I have not realized earlier? How could these be elephant ivory?

”Look! These are so long and so thick The African Elephant’s tusks are about a th of around one and a half meters! This is a mammoth’s tusk! It’s mammoth ivory!”

”And ere the rubber hose and puether with the tusks?”

”The reason is siround, soed under rocks, so shovels and pickaxes are needed to dig them out

”And in order to excavate the tusk without da them, that’s where the man-made pump and the rubber hose came in handy They use water to flush off the excess soil”

Hans pulled out a tusk, and scratched it ”See? This is clay; normal elephant ivory won’t have this on it, asaround in the ground to find elephant ivory”

Li Du was staring at Hans with his ape

”Wow buddy, you are fantastic You handled the ‘question and answer’ all by yourself—you got the gift of gab!” Li exclaimed

”Fck! We are rich! We are rich! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

A police car siren was heard in the distance, and it was headed towards them

”Quick! Run! Cops!” Li Du cried out
