Last Totem Novel - Chapter 427
Chapter 427 Turn Around
In the next few days, Tie Zha and Zhao Wen followed closely behind the herd, waiting for the herd to be attacked. However, after a few days, the surroundings were not only calm, but the elephants were also gradually deviating from their direction, and if they continued to follow, they would walk further and further away.
Tie Zha immediately changed his strategy. The next afternoon, while the elephants were resting, he ran over. At first, the elephants were a little wary of him, but when he threw out a few compressed biscuits and was tried by the gluttonous little elephant, the elephants were no longer wary of him.
When he was in the Ficus Mountains, he had fed him compressed biscuits to the mammoth that had sent him to the Great Ice Ocean, and it was quite effective. They liked to eat this kind of peanut and sugar. After sneaking into the herd, Tie Zha found two of the tallest adult mammoths and began a food offensive.
“Come, friend, give it a try.” As Tie Zha spoke, he tore open the wrapping paper for the compressed biscuits and handed it over.
The two mammoths let out a low cry as if to show their disdain.
“Friend, this is delicious and delicious.” Seeing that it was indifferent, Tie Zha took a big bite and pretended to be delicious.
The two mammoths whispered again and raised their noses, as if to drive the annoying fellow away.
“Alright, I’ll go.” After saying that, Tie Zha poured a whole box of compressed biscuits into the snow in front of him, then turned around and left.
After returning to the camp, Zhao Wenke asked how the situation was. Tie Zha shook his head and said that there might be no chance. He continued to set off on the same path tomorrow.
When he woke up the next morning, the elephants had already left. Looking at the chaotic footprints in the snow, Tie Zha couldn’t help but sigh. Then, he and Zhao Wenke tidied up their tents, piled up their sleds, and carried the ropes forward.
However, they didn’t go far when two low cries came from behind them. Turning around, he saw two mammoths crawling up from the snow, shaking off the snow on their bodies and stretching out their long trunks as if they were waving at them. These kind creatures wouldn’t leave after eating the traveller’s food, even if it was just a few compressed biscuits.
Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke glanced at each other and arrived beside the two mammoths with a happy mood.
“Friend, thank you.” Tie Zha nodded at the two mammoths and Zhao Wenke bowed.
As if in return, the two mammoths let out a low cry before turning around and lying down.
Afterwards, the two of them piled up supplies on the elephant’s back one after another, then rode on the elephant’s neck and walked towards the depths of the distant mountain …
“If one day we have our own flying machine, we will go to the mountains to look for elephants and drop compressed biscuits.” Tie Zha, who was riding an elephant, made a grand wish.
“Count me in.” Zhao Wenke laughed.
More than a month later, with the help of two mammoths, the two of them advanced a few thousand kilometers. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, something unexpected happened at this time.
That morning, they were passing through a deep snowy valley. As he walked, the mammoth beneath Zhao Wenke suddenly tilted and sank into the snow. The two of them immediately jumped up. Before they could figure out the reason, the mammoth let out a painful cry. Its body sank inch by inch, and blood continuously flowed out of its mouth and nose.
Seeing this, Tie Zha quickly deduced that there was some kind of creature hiding beneath the snow. He immediately took off his Psionic Warrior Rifle, stuffed it with armor piercing bullets, and began to accumulate strength. Zhao Wenke pulled out his psionic pistol even faster and fired into the snow.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
After firing six shots in a row, the snow seemed to be very thick and could not be pierced in at all.
Seeing his companion being attacked, the other mammoth stretched out its trunk and wrapped around the other party’s trunk, seemingly wanting to pull it out. However, it was still sinking. More and more blood was flowing out, and its strength was getting weaker and weaker. The mammoth immediately let out an angry roar and impatiently stepped on the ground.
After a moment of silence, Xingsha gradually filled the rifle with armor piercing bullets. Tie Zha gritted his teeth and threw himself at the mammoth.
“Bang!”
Amidst the muffled gunfire, blue flames sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun. A high-speed revolving Psionic Armor Piercing Bullet drilled into the snow and charged straight into it.
In an instant, a sharp scream pierced through the thick snow and pierced through the eardrums.
“Ah!” “Ah!” Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke immediately let out a miserable scream and rolled on the ground with their heads crossed. This hissing sound was extremely strange, as if thousands of small insects were rushing into the brain, drilling through the cortex, causing people to have a splitting headache.
Immediately after, a snow spring soared into the sky, and a huge snake head appeared in front of them. The scales were green and ink, and their eyes were incomparably blood red. They were spitting out blue letters at Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.
“Be careful! It’s the Great Snow Python!” Zhao Wenke shouted loudly. At the same time, he took off the tubular object on his back and pulled it back, turning it into a long spear.
Before he could finish speaking, the python bent its neck and opened its large mouth, revealing two sharp teeth that flickered with cold light as it gritted towards Tie Zha.
A sense of danger instantly flashed through his mind. Like a bolt of lightning, Tie Zha, who was holding his head and curling up on the ground, suddenly fled and avoided the python’s bite. Then, he pulled out Merlin’s left wheel and fiercely bombarded the snake’s head.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Five consecutive shots caused the head of the snake to splatter with sparks, but it did not cause any damage at all. At the same time, Zhao Wenke’s entire body surged with psionic energy, gathering his strength at the tip of the spear. He stepped on the snow and shot out abruptly, stabbing at him with his spear!
“Ding!”
With a soft sound, the tip of the spear drew a dazzling spark on the snake scale, but it was unable to pierce through it. The python immediately twisted its body, its tail carrying a waterfall of snow, and threw it towards Zhao Wenke. “Pa!” With a crisp sound, Zhao Wenke flew out.
Seeing this, Tie Zha immediately threw away Merlin’s left wheel, pulled out his machete, swung his round arm, and slashed down at the snake neck!
Clang!
As the blade brought out a series of sparks, Tie Zha was also blasted away by the reaction force. The scales on the snake’s body were extremely strong. Even the mecha could not withstand this strike, but it was unable to deal any damage. In a daze, the python turned its head and bit down again. Tie Zha immediately rolled forward and avoided the bite.
At this moment, the uninjured mammoth howled as it lowered its head and smashed into the python. It took heavy steps and stepped on the thick snow. Its two ivory tusks stabbed forward like spears.
“Pu!” “Kacha!”
Under the heavy impact, the ivory stabbed deeply into the snake’s body and broke apart at the same time.
“Hiss!” The python raised its head high and let out a painful scream. In the next moment, the blood-red eyes flickered. The snake’s body twisted around the mammoth, and then it used all its strength to shrink.
“Ke la … Ke la la …”
The giant elephant’s enormous body immediately let out a bone-splitting sound that made its scalp numb. It couldn’t help but let out a deep wail. Seeing this, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke immediately bowed and gathered their strength, kicked off the ground, and rushed towards the snake’s body.
Clang! “Ding!”
Sabers and spears were added together, sparks splashing everywhere, but the snake’s body was still as tough as before. Just as he was frowning, the severely wounded mammoth struggled to climb out of the snow pit. Its entire body was dripping with blood. It raised its head to the sky and let out a long cry. Then, it lowered its head and stepped on bloody footprints. It lifted the snow all over the sky and charged towards the giant python that was wrapping around its companion.
“Pu!” “Kacha!”
The decisive charge instantly caused the python to hiss endlessly. It released its elephant body and struggled in the snow. Afterwards, it hid in the snow and fled in panic.
When everything calmed down, the severely wounded mammoth tilted its body, fell heavily into the snow, and closed its eyes forever. The long mammoth that had lost its companion immediately raised its head to the sky and hissed. Its painful cries echoed in the valley, causing one to feel sad.
“Perhaps this is the will of the heavens” Zhao Wenke stroked the mammoth’s head and sighed, “When you came, the Great Prophet told me that you should walk the last part of the road by yourself.” After saying that, he got up and patted Tie Zha’s shoulder, “Brother, I’ll send you here” Then, he paused for a while and looked into the distance, as if to say to himself, “I will stay here and wait for your return.”
“Alright.” Tie Zha nodded firmly and climbed on the back of the elephant, but the mammoth stared at its sleeping companion and refused to leave.
“Go, I will take care of it here.” Zhao Wenke looked into its bell-like eyes and said solemnly.
As if he understood his words, the mammoth let out a deep and long cry. Then, it turned its huge body and walked towards the depths of the distant mountains.
Just like that, one person and one elephant, from sunrise to sunset, from day to night, from far away to far away …
They walked steadily through the mountains, climbed over snow peaks, stepped over snow patches, and finally arrived near their destination a few days later.
This place seemed to be a basin amongst the mountains. Every time they walked, the elevation would drop by nearly a thousand meters. However, the mountains became steeper and steeper, and there were knife-like cliffs everywhere. The mammoth was unable to adapt to this terrain, so Tie Zha had to unload the supplies on its back and let it return to the herd.
The mammoth stretched out its trunk and let out a low hissing sound, saying goodbye to Tie Zha, then turned around and left.
One man and one elephant, how similar were they. Just like when Tie Zha had sent You Ge home, they turned around and left without the slightest hesitation. It was also like saying goodbye to the fishermen in the deep sea. With a simple blessing, they set sail and sailed towards the boundless sea. Perhaps they would never meet again in this lifetime, but that friendship was unforgettable to the bones.
There are always some people in the world who are humble, low-key, and live a quiet and simple life, but they have a sincere and blazing heart. When the world falls into darkness and faces real danger, they will stand up and use their kindness and courage to lead the people in distress out of their predicament and look for a new life.
They’re–heroes.
