Chapter 10 Saving the Elephant
If Su Lan heard correctly, it was the cry of an elephant.
There are many wild elephants in her hometown. When they are in danger, they will make loud roars to attract helpers.
Su Lan turned the telescope and saw that one of the elephants that was leisurely playing in the river had fallen into the river.
She adjusted the telescope and got a clear view of the situation.
A baby elephant was dragged into the water by a 2-meter-long crocodile, and five or six crocodiles surrounded it not far away.
The baby elephant is in danger!
Two adult elephants used their trunks to shake off the crocodiles that surrounded them, but there were too many crocodiles and the number disparity between the two sides was too great, so the elephants kept wailing.
The water in the river began to turn scarlet.
Su Lan's telescope met the eyes of an adult elephant, and it was crying!
It seemed to sense Su Lan's presence and actually knelt down towards Su Lan's legs.
As if to say, please save my child!
Su Lan was stunned. Could it be that this elephant had human nature?
"Liuliu, I want to go into the fog, is it feasible?"
Liuliu: [??? The Virgin Mary's heart is overflowing?]
Su Lan: ...
"Liuliu, give us a feasible plan."
Su Lan is certainly not being overly sympathetic. The IQ of elephants is equivalent to that of a 5-6 year old child. They know how to be grateful, and if you help them once, they can very likely be tamed and become expert guards of the house.
[The current straight-line distance to the river is more than 2 meters, and it takes minutes to walk. The fog is still spreading. You need a super thick torch that will not go out to dispel the fog. You need to bring a weapon.]
[It is still the novice protection period. The things in the fog are not very aggressive. The feasibility is 50%]
"Okay, it's up to you. Please protect me!" Su Lan gritted her teeth and made the decision.
If you don't enter a tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son.
Su Lan quickly slid down the pine tree, returned home, and tied a torch more than 2 meters long with pine branches.
He took the sickle and walked towards the elephant.
When they reached the border of the fog, Su Lan first touched the fog with his hand. It felt cool and there was no discomfort.
As soon as the torch touched the fog, the fog dispersed automatically, as if it was very afraid of the torch.
Suddenly, the cowhide book vibrated violently.
Su Lan took out the leather book, and the notification center flashed violently.
[It is detected that the novice 555 is about to enter the fog and may face great danger. Please evacuate! This prompt will only be given once during the novice protection period. 】
Seeing this prompt, Su Lan's confidence suddenly collapsed.
She really didn't want to die.
[Forget it. If you die in the fog, you will lose me forever.] Liuliu's voice sounded, and he gave Su Lan a very comfortable step.
Su Lan immediately sat down on the steps, "Well, Liuliu, you are right, it's just a few elephants! It's just a golden treasure chest, isn't it? How can your life be at stake?"
[However, there is a solution. You can light a few more torches and make a path through the fog. Maybe it will work.]
Oh, that’s actually a solution.
However, the golden treasure chest was too tempting, so Su Lan immediately took out wood from his backpack and quickly tied ten torches together.
A torch was inserted at the junction of the fog, and the fog on both sides dissipated, revealing a passage about 2 meters wide and 5 meters long.
Su Lan walked into the passage and placed another torch in the shadow.
A fog-free passage was opened, leading directly to the river.
[There are still 206 meters to the river. Be careful, there are thorns under your feet, but it is safe. ]
[There is a vine blocking the way on the left, turn right and continue walking for 2 meters. ]
[Be careful, there is a weasel hole under your feet! ]
With Liu Liu's reminders along the way, and with the help of the telescope, Su Lan felt a lot more at ease.
Five minutes later, Su Lan arrived at the river. The two elephants continued to fight with the crocodile, and a baby elephant was spinning in place, screaming constantly.
The largest torch in Su Lan's hand illuminated an area by the river, and he pointed the high-intensity flashlight at the crocodile's eyes.
The crocodile was stunned for a moment when seeing the strong light, and then opened its mouth. An elephant took the opportunity to use its long trunk to roll the baby elephant out of the river.
Unexpectedly, it was so smooth. She just came here with a torch and helped the elephant out of trouble.
The four elephants snuggled together, rubbing their trunks against each other.
Several pairs of crocodile eyes were staring at Su Lan, making her feel very uneasy.
Now that the matter was done, she had to go back quickly.
clap clap clap!
The crocodiles raised their one-meter-long tails and hit the surface of the river, splashing water towards Su Lan.
Su Lan took a few steps back. The torch in his hand got wet and almost went out. The torches in the passage were swaying from side to side and looked in danger of going out.
She has to go quickly!
Su Lan's heart began to beat violently, and at that moment, she began to feel scared!
It was still too reckless. A novice actually dared to enter the dense fog area alone!
Just to save an elephant?
She turned around and began to walk quickly, but she didn't dare to walk too fast for fear that the torch in her hand would be blown out by the wind.
The temperature in the fog was several degrees lower than normal, and Su Lan was shivering from the cold.
Just when she was halfway there, the torches behind her went out one by one.
I don't know when the torch in my hand went dark.
Su Lan didn't care about anything else and rushed through the passage.
Suddenly, her waist tightened and her feet were lifted off the ground.
Ah!
She is going to be eaten by the monster in the fog!
I just hope it’s not too painful!
Goodbye, Mom and Dad!
Su Lan closed her eyes and accepted the reality. She claimed to be cautious and low-key, but she ended up like this.
Hey, what's going on? There's no pain, and it seems to be still moving forward.
Su Lan opened her eyes and saw an elephant's trunk around her waist, carrying her out of the passage.
The elephant's steps were big and steady, and it quickly led her out of the thick fog.
The moment I stepped out of the foggy area, all the torches behind me went out and the passage disappeared.
Su Lan seemed to sense shadows in the thick fog, staring at her hungrily.
The elephant slowly put her down, patted her head with its trunk, and let out a long roar towards the sky.
Although I couldn't understand what he said, it was probably a way of expressing gratitude.
Su Lan patted his chest and thought, luckily, he made the right bet. Next time, he would not be so reckless no matter what.
The little elephant that was dragged into the river had a large piece of flesh bitten off its thigh and was bleeding. At this moment, it was lying outside Su Lan's yard, dying.
The other three elephants lay down around it, their eyes red and tearful, their expressions sad.
Su Lan went back to the house, took out the universal potion, and walked to the elephant.
"This is a healing potion. I'll spray it on him and he'll feel much better."
The elephant seemed to understand and made way for Su Lan.
Su Lan sucked a few times and poured it on the elephant's wound. The bleeding immediately stopped and the innermost layer began to recover.
After about ten minutes, the baby elephant's wound had almost healed, leaving only a hole the size of a plate.
Four elephants gathered together, shaking their trunks to express their joy.
Suddenly, the largest bull elephant rushed into the fog.
