In the end, Jonas Malone went into shock again.
Luo Qun threw away the dagger and cried on Li Du's body.
Li Du looked at Steve and said, "Help me send this b * stard back to America. Rose has to go back too. Then we can almost go to the North Pole."
Steve perked up. "Okay, leave it to me!"
The most important thing was finally taken care of. Li Du had completed one of his worries. To him, helping Luo Qun catch the murderer of her parents and brother was more important than finding the ivory.
Of course, luck was on his side. He had carried out two tasks at the same time. He had used the mammoth tusks that he had dug up from the mammoth graveyard to obtain information about Jonas Malone, and had finally managed to capture him.
What happened next was out of his control. Steve was in charge. He had a lot of resources and could find a way to send Jonas Malone and Luo Qun back to America safely.
Luo Qun refused to go back and said, "You guys helped me catch the murderer, so I have to help you go to the North Pole. No matter what I can do, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Li Du patted her shoulder and said, "You go back first. We are going to the North Pole to look for the stone. This needs professionals. There's no point in you going."
"I can learn. I'm smart. I can definitely become a professional."
Li Du waved his hand and said impatiently, "Don't be stubborn. It's useless. This is a man's business. Why are you interfering?"
Luo Qun looked at Sophie and said, "Give me your eyebrow pencil."
Holding the pencil, she drew two mustaches on her lips and some whiskers on her chin. Then she said to Li Du, "If it's a man's business, tell me."
Li Du laughed. After catching Jonas Malone, Luo Qun had changed a lot. She was also willing to joke.
Shaking his hand, he said, "We are just going to look for the stone. You should go back. There's no point in you following us."
Sophie added, "Luo Qun, you go back first. You have other things to do. There's still a b * stard called Little John Victor waiting for you to catch him."
Luo Qun was stubborn, but Sophie's reason was irresistible.
Her path of revenge was not over. Yes, there was still a murderer waiting for her, and she still did not know who the culprit was. That had to be investigated.
After much persuasion, he finally sent Luo Qun away.
Li Du was not in a hurry to go to the North Pole. The North Pole was still very cold in April. He had not expected to catch Jonas Malone so soon. Initially, he had planned to use two to three months to complete the job.
In the remaining time, he could search for the ivory treasure. There were a total of five places on the map, and he had only dug out one. Based on the ivory preserved in this mammoth cemetery, he estimated that the total value of the five treasures would be ten million US dollars!
After leaving Krasnoyarsk, they continued north. Their target was the Central Siberian Plateau, where the other four mammoth cemeteries were hidden.
After driving for five hours, a cry for help came from a car behind them in the afternoon. "Damn it, our wheels are stuck in the mud!"
Li Du and the others stopped the car. As soon as he got out of the car, the little white monkey jumped down first. Then, a super fat cat jumped out of the taiga.
The big cat was short and stout, with long fur all over its body. It looked round, and its four short legs were almost covered by long fur. When it appeared, it looked like it had rolled out.
The big cat had been attracted by the little white monkey. It was about to attack when Crispy Noodles, Ali, Ah Meng, Ah Ow, and Ah Meow jumped out of the car.
Looking at the sudden appearance of a group of opponents, the big cat's eyes widened, revealing two round spindle-shaped green pupils.
It looked at its opponents in surprise, turned around, and quickly crawled into a crack in the stone.
Li Du saw it in the car and exclaimed, "Hey, manul."
This was a tundra elf. Manuls were fierce beasts of Siberia, but they looked cute. Recently, it had become popular among the rich in the Middle East to raise manuls.
Manuls were ferocious creatures, and few could rival them in the taiga. They had great strength and explosive power, but unfortunately, they had a natural shortcoming, which was that they had two short legs.
Ah Bai must have suffered at the hands of a manul before. At least it knew that this fat cat was very powerful. When the manul ran, it ran too. It jumped up, grabbed the door, and crawled into the car.
Ah Meow had been full of confidence since he was a child. He had never met a fierce opponent, so he thought he was the best at fighting. When he saw his feline compatriot, the manul dared to show off, he immediately chased after it.
Generally, cats had slender limbs and excellent running ability. The manul was one of the exceptions. Its short legs could not run fast, and when in danger, it would find a crack in the stone to hide.
Ah Meow and the others chased it all the way to a crack in the stone.
The manul was blocked inside and opened its mouth to make a hissing sound.
Li Du went over to take a look. The manul was also unlucky to be targeted by Ah Meow and the others. He shook his head and said, "Let's go, don't block it."
Ah Meow and the others did not want to go. They blocked the crack and stared at the manul maliciously.
If they had to squeeze in, Ah Meow, Ah Meng, and Crispy Noodles could have squeezed in, but they were intelligent and did not take the risk. They just blocked the crack to scare the manul.
The poor manul was really scared. It recognized Ah Ow, but it was the first time Ah Meow and Ali had seen them. It had no idea what kind of monsters they were!
Li Du dragged the little guys away. The manul was a native of this place, and there was no need to bully them after invading their territory.
Ah Meow and the others left, but the manul did not come out. Li Du thought it was still afraid and hiding inside.
But after a while, the manul's anxious cry came from the crack, "Woof woof woof woof!"
If he had not been sure that there was a manul hiding in the crack, Li Du would have thought it was a puppy barking. It sounded like a puppy.
Li Du went back to take a look and was surprised to find that half of the manul's body had sunk into the ground, and its four short legs were completely invisible.
He immediately understood what was going on. The manul was really unlucky. There was a swamp under the crack, and it had accidentally fallen into it. Because the way out had been blocked, it could only passively sink into the swamp.
Li Du was not a person who would stand by and watch someone die. He reached out and tried to fish the manul out, but the latter did not appreciate it. It opened its mouth and stretched its neck to bite him!
Looking at the manul's hideous fangs, Li Du reluctantly withdrew his hand. He did not want to have a piece of flesh torn off.
Remembering how he had been rescued, Li Du called Ah Meng over and asked it to dig up the mud and fish out the unlucky manul.
Ah Meng refused to help and roared at the manul threateningly. The manul was so frightened that it struggled for a while, but sank deeper into the swamp.
Steve saw him with the little guys at the mouth of the crack and came over to see what was going on.
Li Du explained the situation to him, and Steve became interested and said, "Watch me, I'll save it. Hey, buddy, but first let me ask you, are you interested in it? "
