Chapter 65: The Fierce White Elephant
Actually, seeing that it's a sweet potato field, Lin Bei was slightly disappointed. What do elephants like to eat the most? Bananas and mangoes are an elephant's favorite food. If this were a mango forest, Lin Bei would be delighted. His favorite fruit is also mango, unfortunately not.
The yam field is growing very well, perhaps because there are too many yams, so other plants cannot survive here, and even the rare shrubs do not exist. The yam belongs to the climbing plant category, and the tendrils can also cling to rocks, so even on the surrounding several-meter-high rocks, they are all yam leaves, lush and pleasing to the eye.
Even if there were a lot of mountain medicine, with the number of elephant groups, it would be eaten up quickly. The only reason why so much is left here is that the elephant group knows certain protection.
Elephants are also very intelligent animals, ranking among the top ten in many animals. These elephant groups seem to pick and eat wild yams.
The dividing line between the elephant herd and the mountain yam field is not clear, the elephant herd should only eat what belongs to their side without going inside to ruin the whole mountain yam field. This is very different from wild boars. As a result, the mountain yams inside can still maintain a good growth environment. Moreover, the elephant herd's dung is all excreted outside the valley. It is known that if dung dries out, even grass cannot grow, which would greatly affect vegetation. Therefore, it is not unexpected that this patch of mountain yam can remain so lush.
"But if they're doing this, there must be a very intelligent leader among them." Lin Bei thought.
The elephant herd's voice grew louder, and it was clear that Lin Bei's reluctance to retreat made them feel very uneasy. This is the animal's natural instinct. Usually, when the elephant herd encounters a strange and powerful creature like Lin Bei, they may have retreated already. However, this place belongs to the elephant herd's territory, so if Lin Bei doesn't make a concession, the elephant herd might also engage in a battle with him.
Lin Beiyu also sensed the increasingly irritable emotions of the elephant herd, and began to slowly back away. Don't underestimate this action, it represents concession. The elephant herd is gentle in nature, as long as the other party concedes, they won't be pressed too hard, but their voices grew louder.
"Who is the leader of the elephant group?" Lin Bei was still observing at this moment.
The leader of the beast group is always the largest and most powerful, the elephant group is led by a male elephant, because the male elephant is larger than the female elephant, with a longer trunk and higher combat power, and will also be on the front line during battles. However, at this moment, Lin Bei saw four large elephants standing in the front, which should all be male elephants.
"It can't be four elephant herds." Lin Bei could only make such a guess.
However, this speculation is not reliable. Don't think that just because they are all elephant groups, they can integrate together at will. Obviously, it's impossible. When an elephant group encounters another elephant group, either they avoid each other or a battle occurs, and in the end, one of them becomes the new leader after defeating the others. It is almost impossible for four elephants to emerge simultaneously like what we are seeing now.
Just as Lin Bei was puzzled, a loud cry came from behind him. Lin Bei's heart was slightly startled, and there were still elephants? He quickly turned his head to look back, and a giant white elephant stood behind Lin Bei.
The enormity of this white elephant was something Lin Bei had never seen before, it was at least over six meters tall, the entire body's skin presented a grayish-white color, giving off an eerie beauty, its eyes were extremely large, when looking at Lin Bei, Lin Bei could feel the white elephant's anger.
The white elephant is actually an elephant that has contracted leucism, a condition that causes the skin to turn white. The biggest disadvantage of this condition is that it makes them lose their protective coloration, making it difficult for them to hunt or evade predators. As a result, many animals with leucism do not survive, except for some predators, such as albino tigers and bears, which have a higher survival rate.
The elephant with albinism is somewhat better off, although they are not predators, but their natural body shape is there, and few predators will hunt elephants. This white elephant is an example, but animals with albinism in the same species are also considered to be of a different kind, and may have a bad temper, being more aggressive.
This white elephant is probably so angry that it looks quite furious, swinging its trunk and lifting its foot to kick Lin Bei.
Lin Beida was shocked, he didn't expect this guy to be so fierce. He came straight up and started fighting, looking at that elephant leg, it must have been as thick as Lin Beida's body. If this kick landed, it would probably split Lin Beida in two. He quickly rolled his body to one side.
Bang.
A huge sound like an explosion came from where the white elephant was trampling, and because of its great strength, a large pit appeared there, bigger than a washbasin. Lin Bei's eyes widened in shock as he watched. At the same time, the white elephant's trunk suddenly whipped out and struck Lin Bei's body, catching him off guard.
Lin Beichuan only felt a severe pain all over his body, then he flew up and heavily crashed into the rocky wall on the side, and fell down again. In the midst of dizziness and swelling, the giant elephant leg came again, with continuous attacks, this white elephant really wanted to trample Lin Beichuan to death.
Lin Bei had never seen such a ferocious white elephant before, and he was also enraged. He twisted his body, curled up into a ball, but stretched out his tail, which agilely wrapped around the elephant's leg that was about to trample him, then suddenly pulled it forward with force.
The elephant's legs were originally going to trample forward, and Lin Bei borrowed strength again. The white elephant suddenly lost its balance, let out a loud cry, and its heavy body crashed to the ground. However, the direction it fell was exactly in the direction of Lin Bei's body, seemingly wanting to use its body weight to crush Lin Bei to death.
Lin Beiguo couldn't avoid it, and at the moment the white elephant fell, his body arched several times, using this reduction to minimize the force of the pressure. Even so, when the white elephant pressed down on Lin Beiguo's body, Lin Beiguo's tongue was stretched out. The white elephant weighed over ten tons, or 10,000 kilograms, a weight that almost crushed Lin Beiguo flat.
"Drink."
Lin Beigong summoned his remaining strength and made a great effort to push the white elephant upwards again, then he shrunk his body and swam out from there. He turned back to look, and saw that the white elephant was also struggling to get up from the ground. The elephant's trunk tried to sweep towards Lin Beigong, but because it had fallen to the ground, it wasn't very agile and couldn't reach him. Even so, this white elephant's ferocity was something Lin Beigong had rarely seen in his life.
The fallen white elephant quickly got up, shaking its head, looking a bit dazed, but the desire to fight was still high, as if it wanted to engage in a fierce battle with Lin Bei.
Lin Bei had no weapon, and facing such a gigantic creature was also a headache. Moreover, Lin Bei did not have the intention of killing the White Elephant, so he started to retreat, lest this crazy guy pounce on him.
Lin Beibei's retreat seemed to have reduced the white elephant's anger, and it did not step forward again. Perhaps due to what had just happened, it also showed some restraint. Lin Beibei then retreated into the mountain cave, where he heard the elephant herd inside making a thunderous trumpeting sound, as if they were celebrating their enemy's retreat. Lin Beibei could only smile wryly.
