Chapter 1270: 1270. Reappearance of the Mammoth (45)
Picking up the apple core, the little white monkey put it on its nose and sniffed it, then stared at Li Du.
Li Du's heart moved, he took out another apple, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
The little white monkey continued to sniff the apple core, and then took a bite carefully.
Although it is said to be an apple core, there is actually a lot of pulp on it. The little white monkey bit off a small piece of pulp and started to eat it in his mouth.
Apes will eat insects, grass seeds, but the better food is undoubtedly fruit.
The little white monkey chewed the apple, its eyes became brighter and brighter, and soon it held the big fruit core with both hands and gnawed non-stop, just like a chicken pecking at rice, quickly gnawed and ate the fruit core up.
Along with the apple seeds, it was eaten.
Li Du handed it the apple in his hand again, but the little white monkey jumped back to his parents' corpses immediately, and was still very vigilant towards Li Du.
No way, Mr. Li had to put down the apple and walk out along the cave.
After he walked more than ten meters, the little white monkey came out cautiously. It picked up the apple again and sniffed it, held it in its hand and ate it with relish.
The pulp is much tastier than the core, and the little white monkey even danced while eating it.
Since it was born, it may not have eaten such a delicacy. How can there be any fruit on the Siberian tundra? It and its parents must eat only insects, grass seeds, and without these, they have to eat weeds.
The little white monkey looks small, but it has a great appetite and eats a lot.
After eating half of the apple, it looked at Li Du again.
Li Du gave it a banana this time, and it boldly walked over, but slapped the banana away, and just stared at his pocket with wide eyes.
It is not stupid to find out where these fruits are taken out.
Li Du demonstrated it patiently. He took a bite of the banana and put it back in front of the little white monkey.
After the banana was bitten open, the scent overflowed, and the little white monkey was finally attracted, took the banana and began to chew it in his mouth.
Compared with apples, bananas are fragrant, sweet and soft, which is undoubtedly more suitable for the taste of ape cubs.
The little white monkey became happy after eating, and danced there again.
After eating the banana, it ate the banana peel again, and then continued to stare at Li Du's pocket.
Li Du didn't dare to let it continue to eat. The little white monkey was skinny and skinny. After eating the fruit at this time, his belly swelled up, as if he was pregnant, and looked a little scary.
It is too small, its skin is very thin, and its belly is even a little transparent when it bulges. Li Du thinks that if he pricks it with a knife at this time, its belly will explode!
Li Du walked out of the cave, thinking that he could lure the little white monkey out with food.
As a result, the little white monkey didn't accept this trick. It walked to the entrance of the stone cave, looked out, crawled and ran back, and continued to stay beside the parents' corpses.
The machines began to be transported to the island, and the locals Hankway hired also arrived on the island, ready to start working.
Excavating mammoth ivory is not a small project. High-pressure water guns are used to frantically spray the frozen soil to break it up and get the ivory.
Li Du was worried about hurting the little white monkey, but Brother Wolf and Godzilla went to try it, because there were mammoth corpses in all directions in the cave, and the little white monkey and the white monkey corpses were at the bottom of the cave, so if you start work from the bottom of the cave, have little effect on them.
In this case, he directed everyone to start working.
The lake water enters the pressurized water tank through the water pipe, and after some high-pressure high-temperature treatment, it passes through the high-pressure faucet, and they are ejected from the faucet at an extremely fast speed.
The permafrost is hard, but the sprayed water column is hot and powerful, gradually melting the permafrost.
That's the environmental damage that mammoth ivory excavations do, with muddy water flowing everywhere, degrading poor vegetation and fragile geology.
It took tens of thousands of years for the Siberian tundra to reach its present stage. Plants here grow very slowly and reproduce even more slowly. Once destroyed, it may not be able to recover within a few decades.
Fortunately, they are carried out underground, and the damage to the environment is not too severe, but the damage to the geological environment is relatively severe.
While flushing the permafrost to obtain mammoth ivory, Li Du and the others had to reinforce the underground cave. If something went wrong with the cave, it would be fatal.
The machine was working very loudly, and the water vapor filled the cave, which caused the temperature and humidity in the cave to increase. The little white monkey couldn't stand this environment, and dragged the parents' corpses with both hands, trying to pull them out.
There is no doubt that it can't be pulled, so anxious and confused, it keeps jumping between the dead bodies of its parents, making creaking noises from its mouth.
Li Du sighed when he saw it, and he asked someone to pack up the corpses of the two white apes.
Taking out a banana, Li Du peeled it off and handed it to it. The little white monkey took it and continued to jump up and down while eating it...
Ah Miao, who was watching the fun, jumped up and grabbed the little white monkey, picked it up and put it on a dead ape.
The little white monkey peed in fright at first, thinking that he was going to be eaten, so his eyes widened in horror, and he continued to eat bananas vigorously.
Li Du looked very helpless, what is a foodie? This is a foodie, a ghost can also be a dead ghost, Ah Meng, who likes to eat honey, is far behind the little white monkey.
Ah Meow put it on the intact corpse of the ape, so that when the ape was carried out, it would be carried away together with the little white monkey.
Being able to stay with their parents and eat bananas, the little white monkey said it was okay, and it didn't struggle anymore.
After the white monkey body was carried out of the cave, Brother Wolf found a place out of the light and put it away. The little white monkey continued to stay by the side, curled up like a human, with its hands wrapped around its knees, its big eyes revealing a bewildered light .
It was also an animal, Li Du felt that the wisdom of this white monkey was not much worse than that of Ah Miao and Ah Ao, at least in terms of anthropomorphism.
But you have to know that Meow and Ao have been transformed by time and space flying insects, while the little white monkey is a pure beast, there should be a huge difference between them.
The machines were powerful and the hands were many, and in no time the carcass of a mammoth was dug up.
Godzilla unearthed the massive skull of the mammoth, followed by three-meter-long curved tusks, which were soon dug out.
These two tusks are quite well preserved, with a brownish yellow appearance, complete tooth skin, thick root, and round body. These are the best ivory that Li Du has ever touched.
He had obtained mammoth ivory from a warehouse in Flagstaff City before. He had obtained five tusks at that time, but none of them were as good in quality or size. The longest of those two tusks was only two and a half meters long. I remember that it should have sold more than 50,000 yuan.
After digging out the ivory, Li Du laughed and said, "Okay, our plan can be carried out. Let's see how Jonas Malone runs this time."
