"Are we alerting him?" Luo Qun asked Li Du.
Li Du shook his head. "He can't get away. We have to deal with this quickly. Otherwise, there will be more people who dare to intervene, and we will be in big trouble."
Ivory hunters were a very strange profession. They were wary of each other and attacked each other, but once they encountered a foreign enemy, they would quickly unite.
This was related to their identity. Most of them had committed crimes in the city and came to the tundra to seek refuge. There were always people coming to seek revenge or the police coming to arrest them.
Therefore, in the face of a foreign enemy, they would unite and fight together. This way, when they were in trouble, the others would help.
This had become an unspoken rule of the ivory hunter profession, just like the principle of mutual rescue at sea. If a ship was wrecked at sea, nearby ships must help unconditionally.
There was no law that stipulated this, but similar rules abounded in all walks of life.
That was why Li Du did not let Luo Qun come. The ivory hunters were united. If Luo Qun came alone and was discovered, she would definitely be besieged.
There was no need for many hunters to join forces. The Prayer gang alone could deal with a Chinese girl like her.
Luo Qun was anxious and angry that she could not find Jonas Malone at the Prayer gang's lair. Instead, she had lost the last bit of information about his whereabouts.
She said, "Let's offer a reward. We can give a lot of money to whoever catches him."
Li Du shook his head. "That won't work. This is not something that can be solved with money. The ivory hunters will not catch their own people for money."
Luo Qun smiled scornfully. "They are loyal? But they are the ones who sold Jonas Malone's information. "
Li Du said, "Yes, they can sell Malone's information to make money. That's possible, but they will not catch Malone for money."
"You don't understand? Selling information is confidential. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know who sold Malone's information. They can even be double agents, take the money from us, and then go back to inform Jonas Malone. "
"But it's different if we let them catch him. They will be despised by their peers, ostracized by their peers, and may even get revenge on them. The people here are not clean. They all have something on each other, so no one dares to take the risk. "
Luo Qun kicked the door angrily and asked unwillingly, "So what do we do now? Are you going to look for Jonas Malone in the wilderness? "
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. How do we find it?" Li Du asked.
Luo Qun was dumbfounded. She subconsciously shouted, "You are the one in charge of this matter. You are the one in charge. How would I know where to find them?"
After saying that, she came back to her senses. She lowered her voice and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Li. You're here to help. This is my problem. I'm sorry, but I can't control my emotions right now."
Li Du patted her on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I will take responsibility for this, so don't worry. Jonas Malone will not be able to escape. We are already in his lair. How do you say this in Mandarin? The monk can run, but the temple can't. "
Steve interrupted, "Li, I don't believe that there's nothing that can't be done without money. Increase the reward. One million US dollars to capture a person. If one million isn't enough, two million …"
Li Du shrugged and said, "As long as we are patient, we can catch this b * stard effortlessly. Why pay so much money? We don't have so much money that we can't spend it, right? "
Steve nodded. "Whatever you say. You're the boss now."
"Where are we going now? What should we do next? "Luo Qun asked.
Li Du said, "We'll split into two groups. One group will stay here to monitor the situation. The other group will follow me. I'll bring you guys to find something."
What he was looking for was the ivory treasure.
The eight SUVs were divided into two teams. One team was led by Li Du and Steve, and the other team was led by the Ford brothers. The Ford brothers stayed at Krasnoyarsk, while Li Du's team left.
The Ford family also has a lot of influence in Russia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ford entered the Russian market.
Therefore, the two brothers stayed in Krasnoyarsk. Safety was not a problem. As long as they made a few calls to their superiors, someone would arrange for the government to protect them.
Li Du and the others drove away from Krasnoyarsk Krai and once again left the highway and entered the taiga. They followed the Shikin-Tunguska River all the way up.
He wanted to go to the first stop of the mammoth ivory treasure map, to find the mammoth ivory hidden in it.
The owner of the treasure map was also an ivory hunter. He was a lone ranger and had a strong ability to find mammoth ivory. He had found many mammoth graveyards.
The so-called mammoth graveyard was similar to the African elephant graveyard. Mammoths and elephants were the same. When they were near the end of their lives, they would go to the graveyard of their tribe and die there.
This was a very magical thing. So far, science had not found any results. A Norwegian research institute started with molecular research and believed that elephants could release unique pheromones before and after they died.
This pheromone changed the instinct of elephants and made them look for pheromones of the same kind. The place where the pheromones of the same kind permeated the most was the elephant graveyard.
Similarly, whales in the sea had similar behavior. There were whale graveyards in the sea, and whales would go there before they died. However, the sea had buoyancy and undercurrents. After the whales died, they would be carried elsewhere by the current, so this kind of whale graveyard was very difficult to find.
The owner of the treasure map found the mammoth graveyard, but he could not dig it out alone. He did not trust the hunters in the taiga, so he wanted to go back to his hometown to recruit people.
However, this guy was a criminal in the United States. Not long after he returned to his hometown, he was arrested by the police. After he was thrown into prison, he died of a sudden illness. In the end, the treasure map became a secret.
The taiga by the river was softer, making it more difficult to drive, and there were more mosquitoes around!
It was the first time Li Du had seen such a large swarm of mosquitoes. They wandered in groups on the taiga. From afar, it looked like a small sandstorm.
Even the brave Brother Wolf and the others were frightened by the scene. If someone entered under such circumstances, they would probably be sucked dry by the mosquitoes and become a mummy.
Steve's knowledge came into play at that moment. He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. These mosquitoes can't eat us. It's inevitable to be bitten, but our bodies have a strong ability to adapt. After being bitten a few times, our bodies will become resistant to their venom."
"Even so, I'm not willing to take the risk." Li Du shook his head.
In such an environment, it was impossible to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Li Du sometimes bent over to prepare food. In this way, his waist would inevitably be exposed, and mosquitoes would immediately pounce on it.
The worst thing was when they had to deal with their personal hygiene. Since the first time they went to the bathroom, they kept scratching their buttocks.
