The police's attitude toward justice was not as upright as Li Du's. They had said on the phone that they would be slow, but Li Du did not expect them to be so slow.
He waited at the entrance of the cave for more than half a day, and did not see the police in the afternoon. He did not want to wait any longer. Anyway, the poachers were locked in a cage, and there was no need to worry about them escaping.
Li Du looked at the sky and finally waved his hand. "Let's not wait anymore, let's go!"
Brother Wolf, Godzilla, and the others immediately began to pack up, and then the group left the cave.
The little condor, who was basking in the sun in the cage at the entrance of the cave, saw Li Du and the others leave. It blinked, suddenly stood up, flapped its wings, and cried, "Ga!"
Li Du looked back and saw the little condor run out of the cage. It ran behind him like a big pheasant, and then crouched down again.
Seeing this, Li Du could not help laughing and said, "Why, are you coming with me?"
The little condor blinked and squatted beside him like a puppy.
Li Du squatted down and reached out to pick it up. It looked big, but in fact, it was very light, maybe only four or five kilograms.
He held the little condor in his arms, and the little condor did not struggle much. Ah Bai, who was in the backpack, poked his head out and stared at it. The two little guys looked at each other.
Brother Wolf played with the knife and asked, "You want to take this bird with you?"
Li Du laughed. "Let's see. If it can be kept alive, I'll take it. If it can't stay with me, we'll contact the animal protection organization when we go down the mountain and give the bird to them."
Lu Guan said, "Why can't it be kept alive? This thing is easy to keep. It can be eaten dead, alive, and rotten. It's easier to keep than chickens and ducks. "
As they chatted, they entered the forest and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
They did not leave the cave, which was Li Du's plan. He took Brother Wolf and the others to find a place to hide, and then took turns climbing the tree and using binoculars to monitor the position of the cave.
Li Du wanted to fish out the Ukrainian brothers. He believed that the two men would not be far from the cave. They might have come back last night.
Although the descriptions given by the police and the poachers were different, there was no doubt that the two brothers were very capable. They had to worry about their revenge. Li Du and his team had destroyed their nest and almost caused the two of them to be burned to death. They would not let it go.
Li Du felt that after they left the cave, if the two brothers were nearby, they would eventually appear. Not to mention anything else, there were a bunch of companions of the two brothers in the cave. If they wanted to take revenge, they would definitely bring a bunch of companions with them to have a better chance of winning.
They waited until evening, when the sun had set, but the two brothers did not appear.
Lu Guan said in a low voice, "Boss, let's retreat. Maybe the two brothers won't come back? Even if they come back, the Blue Ridge is so vast, the chances of us meeting again are very small. "
Li Du said, "We have to make sure nothing goes wrong. There are too many uncertainties in the deep mountains and forests. What if they come back with a group of people to find trouble with us?"
Lu Guan shrugged and said, "You're the boss, you call the shots."
They waited for another day. The next afternoon, when the police arrived, the brothers still did not show up.
The police entered the cave and released the poachers from the cages. They were handcuffed and brought down the mountain.
Li Du kept the poachers' mobile phones. There was a lot of evidence in them, enough for the police to send them to prison.
In this way, there was no need for him to stay. Since his companions had been taken away, the two brothers would certainly not appear again.
Li Du wanted to go out and say hello to the police, but Condor was still with him. If he went out, he would definitely have to hand Condor over. So, after some thought, he decided to retreat.
Catching the poachers was not part of the plan. With this delay, another three days passed.
Li Du and his group returned to the ruins of the Kochena tribe. Based on the scene seen by the time reversal film, Li Du found the path that the chief and the cameramen had taken and climbed up the mountain in search of the gold treasure.
The location of the treasure was not too close to the tribe, but it was not too far. It might be a contradiction, but it was easy to understand from the topography.
The straight-line distance between the two places was not far, maybe less than four or five kilometers. If it was on flat ground, even if it was on foot, it would be a matter of tens of minutes.
However, the terrain on the mountain was steep and it was difficult to walk. It would take one or two days to cross the distance of four or five kilometers.
According to the cameraman, they had only walked for more than half a day. Many treasure hunters estimated the distance between the treasure site and the tribe's location, but in the end, they could not find the treasure.
The reason for this was that the chief and the cameraman had taken a small path. They had taken a shortcut to the treasure site, and the shortcut was through caves.
When they reached this area, there were many caves in the mountains. The Kochena tribe's camp was in a natural cave. Previously, the poachers, Li Du and the others had also stayed in the cave.
Moreover, the cave where the poachers and Li Du and the others were staying had two entrances, connected from top to bottom. It might take half an hour to climb from one cave to the other, but it only took a few minutes to walk through the cave.
The cameraman's eyes were blindfolded and he was supported by the Native Americans, so he did not know that they had walked through the cave. In addition, there were trees, vines, and weeds growing in some of the caves, so it would be difficult for people who were not familiar with them to discover their existence.
Li Du easily found the location of these caves through the experience of the negatives. He led the group all the way through, and after passing through six caves, they were not far from the treasure site.
It was not easy to go through the caves. After more than a hundred years, no one knew the specific situation of the caves now. He arranged for Ah Meow and Ah Ow to go in to explore the way, and sometimes Ah Bai would go in too.
The Native Americans' wound medicine was really effective. Ah Bai's wound had already scabbed and was no longer in pain. After eating and drinking well for a few days, he was full of energy again.
Li Du was ready to go down the mountain to buy a few more bottles of this healing medicine. It was very effective for external injuries. Maybe he could research it and get a patent.
Fortunately, he was cautious. These caves were indeed dangerous. Some caves were inhabited by bats, and some caves were almost turned into snake nests. From time to time, Ah Meow would drag out a few snakes, many of which were poisonous.
Every time they came across a cave, they would take a break. During this time, they had to pretend to look for caves, which was a waste of time. By the time they arrived at the gold treasure site, another day had passed.
Lu Guan and the others were surprised. Li Du could always find caves in some seemingly impossible places, as if he was very familiar with the place, which made them feel strange.
However, Brother Wolf and Firecracker knew what to ask and what not to ask. Godzilla and Driver were silent, so only Lu Guan would ask questions curiously.
