Having just arrived, not long after, they saw a large group of more than a dozen cars heading towards Gu Xuan in the distance.
Gu Xuan was also shocked when he saw it.
"Wow, so many cars! How many people have come?"
The vehicle is approaching.
The first vehicle stopped, and three elderly men with gray hair got out.
The three old men smiled as they approached Gu Xuan.
One of the older men said.
"You must be Gu Xuan."
"Yes, I am. Hello, I don't know how to address you."
The old man said with a smile.
“My surname is Deng, you can call me Lao Deng. I come from Beijing.”
Gu Xuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the other person's self-introduction.
He then said.
"Hello, Mr. Deng, welcome."
"Old Deng felt something was amiss and asked."
"You know me."
The reason why Old Deng said that was because he saw Gu Xuan's shock when he heard his name.
Gu Xuan explained.
"Professor Deng, I am a graduate student from the Agricultural University."
Old Deng was slightly taken aback after hearing this.
"You are a student at the Agricultural University."
Gu Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Yes."
"Then you are Old Zhu's student."
Gu Xuan quickly nodded again.
"Yes, my teacher is Zhu Cong."
Zhu Cong and Professor Deng are old friends, but they specialize in different areas. Professor Deng mainly focuses on animals, while Zhu Cong mainly focuses on plants.
Of course, Gu Xuan's main studies were also on plants and animals.
"That's great, I didn't expect to find such a high-achieving student from the Agricultural University here."
"You flatter me, Mr. Deng."
"Come on, let me introduce some to you."
Deng Lao pointed to the old man on the left.
"This is the person in charge of the Haicheng Research Institute. You can call him Elder Li."
Gu Xuan bowed respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"You're welcome."
Deng Lao pointed to the right.
"This is Old Zhao. He is also from Beijing and belongs to the wild animal genus."
"Hello, Mr. Zhao."
"Welcome."
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries, let's go see what's going on."
Then Gu Xuan pointed to the drone and said.
"You don't mind if I do a live stream, right?"
Mr. Deng said very generously.
"Of course I don't mind. Besides promoting yourself, you can also promote these protected animals by doing live streams, which can raise awareness among more people. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Thank you, Elder Deng."
"You're being so polite."
"Okay, let's drive to the place where you found the golden monkey first."
"good."
Gu Xuan got into the car and drove off with the dozen or so vehicles.
Of these dozen or so vehicles, half were carrying people, and the other half were carrying tents, equipment, and various other supplies.
After all, they would spend a long time in the wild to hide and conduct research.
The vehicle enters.
Newcomers are immediately drawn to the scenery.
They all poked their heads out to observe the outside environment.
"The environment here is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the primeval forests we've visited before."
"The scenery here is very natural."
"Indeed, it's very different from what I've seen before."
"Perhaps it's the environment here that made it this way."
"It's really comfortable living here."
"really."
The convoy soon arrived at the place where the golden monkeys had appeared.
After parking the car, Gu Xuan spoke to Old Deng.
“I saw it in this area before, but I just had a drone check it out. It only showed a wild fruit grove and no trace of golden monkeys.”
Deng nodded.
"It's possible they went to other places; there can't be only one wild fruit grove in the forest."
Yes, it's available in other places too.
Old Deng looked at Gu Xuan.
"Is there a specific location?"
"I can only give you a general location."
"That's fine too."
Gu Xuan knew the exact location, but he couldn't give it away. If he did, these people might be able to find out something.
Only a vague location can be given.
"I don't have a map here, I can only draw one for you by hand when we get back."
"That's fine too."
"Then let's go back first."
"Don't go back yet. Let my men observe first."
Deng Lao waved his hand and several people got out of the car.
"Go and prepare a drone, fly in and take a look, see if you can find any traces."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the others began preparations.
After a few simple preparations, the drone took to the air.
It then quickly flew into the forest.
The drone flew into the forest.
They moved quickly and soon entered the wild fruit grove in the forest.
Everyone was shocked to see the densely packed wild fruits.
"The wild fruits here are growing well. Judging from this, the fruit trees here have been growing for many years, at least a hundred years or more."
After the drone arrived, it began to carefully observe the surrounding environment and search for traces.
The young man operating the drone quickly spotted something.
"Old Deng, look here."
The man pointed to the screen.
The crowd gathered around.
I saw that there were several pieces of fruit that had been eaten.
One of them was bitten and then thrown away, and several others were eaten, leaving only the pits.
"These fruits have been eaten by animals."
"Judging from this, it should be the golden monkey that was discovered the other day."
"They do look quite similar."
The drone continued its search and spotted a clump of hair on a tree.
It must have been hair that was scraped off by a branch while the animal was moving.
"These traces appear to be from golden snub-nosed monkeys."
"I just don't know where they went."
After carefully reviewing it, Deng Lao analyzed it.
"This should be an orchard on the outskirts of those golden monkeys; their normal activity area should still be inside the mountains and forests."
The other two nodded as well.
"Yes, we need to investigate further to pinpoint the location of the golden monkeys."
Deng nodded.
"However, the exact location needs to be searched carefully."
"It seems this stay won't be short."
"Yes, but fortunately it's not far from the North District, so resupplying here is very convenient."
Gu Xuan walked over and said.
"It's alright, I can provide some supplies, and I usually go to the North District every few days, so I'll bring you whatever you need."
Deng nodded.
"Okay, thank you in advance."
"You are welcome."
The drone observed the area again, and finding no other traces, it returned to base. Gu Xuan then led everyone to Lengquan Xiaozhu.
Upon arrival, they led everyone to the small building on the west side.
"There are twenty rooms here, that should be enough."
Old Deng quickly said.
"There's no need to reserve rooms for us. Once we start searching for golden monkeys, we'll be heading into the mountains, so there's no point in us staying here."
"It's alright, no one is coming here for the time being, you can stay here for now."
"good."
Old Deng did not stop them and stayed there temporarily.
They could only stay one night to rest and prepare some necessary items before heading into the mountains, where it would take ten days to half a month.
Gu Xuan then led everyone into the room.
They all began to rest.
