Chapter 79 Elephant Herd Seeks Help from Elephant Hunting Team (Revised)
Gu Yiliu took out the water that Dian Dian had prepared.
The elephants were stunned and stood there dumbfounded when they saw Gu Yiliu produce two large buckets out of thin air.
But Gu Yiliu wasn't afraid of them finding out, since they couldn't speak human language, and Diandian had assured them they wouldn't tell anyone.
"Come and drink some water first, and I'll get you more water after you're done."
The lead female elephant realized what was happening and led the herd to drink water.
Soon the two buckets were empty. Gu Yiliu filled them again and tied them to the back of an elephant.
"What's your name?" Gu Yiliu asked, looking at the leading female elephant.
"My name is Dongling."
"Okay, Dongzhen, bear with it for a bit, I'm going to help you pull out the nail." Gu Yiliu looked at Dongling's foot, where the nail was already embedded in the flesh. After a simple disinfection, Gu Yiliu watched as Dongling shook her big ears, looking tense, and then unexpectedly reached out and pulled the nail out.
Dongling felt a sharp pain in her foot, and before she could even cry out, the nail was already out.
Dongling looked at her foot, where the pain was gradually subsiding, and then looked up at Gu Yiliu in surprise, "The nail...it's out?"
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement, "The wound has been treated."
Dongling snapped out of her daze, raised her long nose, and gently hugged Gu Yiliu, listening to the popping vibrations in her ear.
"Puff puff puff." Thank you, Officer Gu.
"You should leave quickly." Gu Yiliu patted Dongling's head, remembering what Dongling had said earlier about the hunters who were still hunting them. "How long have they been hunting you?"
Dongling's tone was sorrowful, "Puff puff puff." It's been over a month. There were two groups of people. One group specialized in stealing our ivory, and that's how we got our ivory. The other group wanted to take our baby elephant away. I heard that this group came from a big city.
Gu Yiliu looked up at the herd of elephants behind Dongling. There were a total of 8 elephants, including Dongling. There were two calves. Only two elephants had tusks. The tusks of the remaining 4 elephants had all been pulled out, including Dongling's tusks.
Gu Yiliu sensed something was wrong. "You gave them the ivory? You gave it to them voluntarily?"
Dongling nodded and then shook her head.
"Puff puff puff!" The group that pulls out the ivory sometimes helps us escape, otherwise outsiders will snatch our baby elephants, and we can't protect them.
Dongling lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes. Caught between a rock and a hard place, they had no choice but to make a deal with the ivory hunters. They knew these men were after their ivory, so to protect their calf, the larger elephants made the trade with the hunters.
They gave the ivory to the hunters, who were responsible for stopping the city dwellers.
"You'd better hurry up and leave, or those people will catch up with you."
"I'll go find out what's going on for you. Call me if anything happens."
Dongling hugged Gu Yiliu again.
"Pfft pfft pfft!" Thank you, Officer Gu.
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement and watched Dongling leave with her herd of elephants.
Watching the elephant herd disappear into the forest, Gu Yiliu looked around and asked Diandian to give her directions.
"Go straight ahead, there are people ahead."
Who is it?
Dian Dian pulled up a panel for Gu Yiliu to see for himself: "Wearing hiking boots and carrying backpacks, these people are not locals, they are from the city."
Gu Yiliu glanced at Diandian, his eyes asking if this move was also a benefit of the upgrade.
Nodding her little head slightly, she said, "My strength has almost recovered, so I can do whatever I want."
Gu Yili sighed, "That's amazing," and then looked at the visualization panel in front of him.
The people searching for elephants in the woods and bushes ahead are clearly visible on the visualization panel, and even their expressions are crystal clear.
Gu Yiliu: "I'm too lazy to negotiate with them. I'll just knock them down and throw them onto the main road at the foot of the mountain." Those who are timid definitely won't go back into the mountains.
Dian Dian didn't say anything, letting her make her own decision.
As Gu Yiliu approached the hunting team, he saw some people coming up from the foot of the mountain.
As soon as this person appeared, the people searching around stopped what they were doing, their expressions showing a hint of excitement.
"Xu Jian, have you contacted the local hunters? What did you say?" someone asked loudly.
The man called Xu Jian nodded. "How are you all doing?"
"Don't even mention it, there's been no progress at all. Tell me about your situation first."
Xu Jian: "We got in touch with them. When they heard that we only catch baby elephants and don't harm the main elephants or take their tusks, they said they were willing to help. But they also said that they would charge money for their help."
“We will give them to them, but they must help us capture two elephants, one male and one female.”
Xu Jian: "Then I'll make another trip."
“We’ll go down the mountain together, agree on the terms, and then go back up immediately. We’ll make it quick and decisive, and once we catch the elephant, we’ll go back.”
This statement was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Gu Yiliu watched them descend the mountain together, and the more he looked, the more he felt he couldn't let them go down the mountain like this. He raised his hand and used his supernatural ability to loosen the soil.
Just as I finished putting it away, I heard a scream.
"ah!"
Then I saw someone slip and fall down the hillside. They weren't injured, but they were quite frightened.
"The soil on the mountain is loose, everyone be careful!"
"ah!"
No sooner had I given the warning than another scream was heard.
"Ouch! My face!" Someone slipped and hurt their face.
"Ouch! My hand!" Someone has hurt their hand.
"Get out of the way!"
One after another, people fell down. Just as they were told to get out of the way, they all fell down before they could react. The screams of pain echoed everywhere.
"Ahhhhhh"
Gu Yiliu watched them fall down, get up, fall down again, and stumble down the mountain.
She followed behind them, watching Xu Jian lead them to meet with the people.
After eavesdropping on their conversation, Gu Yiliu finally understood what this group of people did.
Xu Jian and his team were an elephant-catching team organized by Jiangzhou Zoo. They were going to take two baby elephants back to Jiangzhou Zoo.
Gu Yiliu left with a heavy heart.
There's no way to stop her.
However, if the elephant hunting teams are allowed to continue hunting, the baby elephants are young and will certainly be well cared for in the herd. If the baby elephants are threatened, then in order to resist, some elephants in the herd will definitely be injured.
“If you can’t stop it, then wait for the elephant to ask for help before you take action,” Dot said.
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement.
She did not go to Dongling again.
But soon after, he received another request for help from Dongling.
"Officer Gu, someone has come to take our baby elephants. One of them has already been taken. Can you save our baby elephants?"
When Gu Yiliu found Dongling, he discovered that the elephant herd Dongling belonged to had all been captured.
The elephant-catching team did not harm the elephants, but they did injure them during the capture of the calves. They separated the elephants from the two calves and kept them in a separate zoo. When Gu Yiliu arrived, they were calling out anxiously.
"Puff puff puff?" Officer Gu, why do they insist on taking the baby elephant away?
“Zoos are places for raising, breeding, and educating the public about wild animals. The only thing that can be guaranteed when baby elephants go there is that they are not as dangerous as they are in the wild. They should receive care from the zoo, but they will also face the prospect of being separated from their mothers forever.”
Gu Yiliu told it the intention of Jiangzhou Zoo.
A mother elephant protested vehemently, "Puff puff puff! We can't hand our baby elephant over to them!"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" No one knew whether Officer Gu was telling the truth or not. What if these people wanted to kill the baby elephant?
The calls of the elephants attracted the elephant hunters.
"Who are you?"
