Upon entering the Elk Creek, Ye Tian was immediately fascinated by the picturesque scenery here.
The stream is about five meters wide, clear to the bottom, and gurgling. There are large grasslands with a width of about 150 meters on both sides, with flowers in full bloom and fragrance.
On the edge of the grassland is a large mountain forest, lush and luxuriant, beyond sight, and in the distance are rolling snow-capped mountains and glaciers, magnificent and shocking.
There are many animals living near the stream. In addition to the common white-shoe rabbits, pheasants, and various beautiful birds, you can also see many large herbivores.
Just five or six minutes after the helicopter landed, two groups of elk came to drink water by the stream, and then ate leisurely on the grass on both sides of the bank, without fear of human beings.
It is more beautiful than Smith Creek, full of dynamic and colorful!
But it is a pity that this tranquility and harmony will soon be completely swallowed up by human greed, and this place will also become a battlefield for grabbing wealth.
After admiring the beautiful scenery for a while, everyone turned their attention back to business and prepared to survey the tenements of the virgin land of No. 1 Elk Creek.
At the same time, Mark began to introduce the situation here.
"This place is called Elk Creek because it is the habitat of elk, but in recent years, many elk have left, so the mining rights will be auctioned.
Here is still a wolf pack's sphere of influence, consisting of about 10 gray wolves. They are very fierce. Everyone must pay attention to safety. It is best to be armed for surveys."
"Got it! I don't want to turn into gray wolf dung without looking for gold, nourishing this land!"
Ye Tian was joking, and there was an excitement in his eyes.
During this inspection, he really wanted to have a face-to-face with the gray wolves and feel this wild and extremely fierce carnivore up close.
While talking and laughing, the three ATVs that Mark contacted were delivered, provided by two nearby gold mines.
Afterwards, the two helicopters left with Mark's friends, and Ye Tian and the others began to transfer equipment to the all-terrain vehicle, officially starting the survey trip of Elk Creek.
As before, the survey here starts from the stream.
However, compared to Smith Creek No. 1 virgin land, the performance here is almost meaningless. The grade is only 0.7 g/ton, which can only be regarded as a medium level.
But after Ye Tian's perspective, no surprises were found deeper, and the performance was relatively consistent.
Seeing the results of this survey, Ye Tian was not disappointed. This is normal. How many rich gold mines can there be? I can find that the two are already very lucky, how dare you ask for more!
If none of the six virgin land mineral rights in Elk Creek perform well, then consider it a relaxing outdoor trip and enjoy the picturesque scenery here!
I will return to New York in a few days, and there is nowhere to find this natural beauty in that concrete jungle.
Pour the gold in the gold pan back to the stream. After returning to put the equipment, everyone drove the all-terrain vehicle, roared into the forest, and completely shredded the tranquility here.
...
More than four hours later, there was another wave of uninvited guests in the virgin land at Elk Creek No. 1.
Three pickup trucks drove into here with muddy bodies, stumbled and extremely difficult.
When the three cars stopped on the grass, Fernandez and the others quickly jumped out of the car, and when they landed on their feet, they immediately began to yell.
"This fucking place is so damn hell, there is not even a road, I have tried my damn cart all the way, I knew I should drive an ATV or rent a helicopter to come in."
"Yes! I have to go again when I go back, I'm so scared to think about it!"
"As long as the survey report can be retrieved, these three pickups are completely unnecessary for us. Just call the helicopter to pick us up and leave."
"Take a fart! Did you bring a satellite phone? This ghost place doesn't even have the slightest cell phone signal. I found it as soon as I came in"
This group of people are all muddy, obviously tossed by this undeveloped virgin land.
"Fuck! Stop complaining! It's important to do business. Check around to see if there are any traces of a helicopter landing or a car."
Fernandez interrupted his companion's complaint and began to arrange for everyone to look around.
Five or six minutes later, news came back, but it was not good news.
"There is no way to check it. There are a lot of helicopter takeoffs and landings, and all-terrain vehicles run over. Obviously many people have come here recently."
Hearing this, these people were dumbfounded.
No trace found! How do you find that Chinese bastard? The area of the virgin land of Elk Creek is dozens of square kilometers! And all over the mountains and forests, looking for a few people here is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Fernandez was also a little bit troubled, thinking in deep thought.
After a short pause, he gritted his teeth and said viciously:
"Then use the most stupid way to sweep forward along the banks of the Elk Creek. No matter what virgin land they are surveying, they will eventually have to go back to Elk Creek to wash the gold. What we ran into was digging three feet in the ground. Today, we must find this Chinese bastard and grab the survey report!"
"Okay! Let's go"
The others responded loudly, then returned to their pickup trucks and continued to trek forward with difficulty.
At the same time.
Deep in the mountains and forests of No. 3 virgin land, Ye Tian and the others encountered a crisis.
"Woo--!"
A scream of wolf howling sounded all over the mountains and forests, adding a lot of danger and blood to the place.
In the howling of the wolf, Ye Tian and the others watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.
"Attention everyone, another gray wolf appeared 30 meters to the right. This is the fifth one!"
Hayward reminded everyone through the intercom that he was using the sight of a sniper rifle to observe.
"Understood, these damn gray wolves are in our shadows! It's almost an hour with us"
Ye Tian cursed angrily, and at the same time glanced to the right.
In addition to the previous gray wolf, there was another pair of peeping eyes, exuding ferocious gazes, staring at his few people.
At this moment, Ye Tian is carrying the AK74, the bullet is loaded, and he can fire at any time. With Remington shotgun on his back, the M9 and Desert Eagle are also full of bullets, armed with teeth, and are not afraid of any provocation, including these ferocious gray wolves.
He and Hayward are 5 meters apart, standing with their backs facing each other, staring at the surrounding mountains. Mark is standing in the middle with a double-barreled shotgun while Jason is digging a hole quickly to take samples. The survey is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Everyone has no fear of the wolves not far away, and is even used to it!
Soon after entering the mountain forest of No. 3 Virgin Land, everyone found traces of a gray wolf. At first, it was a gray wolf.
Everyone didn't care. After all, the North American Gray Wolf is the owner of this mountain forest. You broke into someone else's house, and you didn't allow others to take a look?
As for shooting down the gray wolf for the first time, everyone never thought about it.
As long as they don't take the initiative to attack, there is no need to die or die.
Gray wolves are a very important part of ecological balance. They control the population quality and quantity of large herbivores, and they are indispensable in the Alaskan wilderness.
Everyone is very confident about their own safety. With the firepower and maneuverability they currently have, they can cope even with large-scale wolves.
Everyone only increased their vigilance a little bit and continued the survey.
The gray wolf has been following behind, and constantly howling, calling for his companions, let them come to help out, drive away or swallow these upright walking and digging monsters everywhere.
As it howled, there were more and more gray wolves around everyone, and it quickly grew from one to five, and the courage of these gray wolves became bigger and bigger, and they had approached from 50 meters away to 30 meters away. .
It is estimated that more numbers, they will dare to advance to about 10 meters!
Once that time, the conflict between man and wolf will be inevitable, and everyone will have to open fire to bring down these cruel guys.
"OK! The sampling at this point is complete, let's go to the next point"
After backfilling the topsoil, Jason returned to the car with the sampling bag and the engineer shovel.
Ye Tian and Hayward also withdrew and got into their cars.
"Go! I hope these guys don't follow again. If you guys can't help but pull the trigger for a while, they will all explain here today."
Ye Tian said with a smile, placing the rifle in the passenger seat and starting the all-terrain vehicle engine.
Amid the roar, the three all-terrain vehicles rushed out and continued to march into the forest.
The five gray wolves watching on the side didn't give up, but immediately followed. They were scattered about fifty or sixty meters away, and they were constantly howling.
After running for about 200 meters, Hayward's voice came to everyone's ears again.
"Attention everyone, the alpha wolf appeared, on the left, the largest one, now there are seven gray wolves in total"
Hearing the reminder, everyone immediately slowed down and looked to the left.
"Hiss--!"
When everyone saw the wolf more than 20 meters away on the left, they all gasped.
This wolf is huge, over 2 meters in length, about 1 meter tall at the shoulder, and weighs less than ten kilograms. It has gray-black fur, a large wolf head and sharp fangs. It runs like a moving hill. Got.
Especially its eyes are cold and cruel, it makes people horrified and cold all over!
This is a rare giant wolf whose attack power must be extremely powerful!
"Fuck! This wolf is terrifying! The giant wolves in Yellowstone Park are not so big, right?"
Jason exclaimed in the intercom, shocked and excited.
"This is the biggest North American gray wolf I have ever seen. The wolves of the Druid Peak wolves are definitely not so terrible! Be careful, everyone, since the alpha wolf appears, maybe these guys will start an attack!"
Mark's voice came, and he could hear that he was already very nervous.
"Wow! Great! It seems that the Elk Creek wolves have all appeared. Maybe we are going to a man-wolf battle. It's fun to think about it! I really should get a head-mounted camera and take photos of these, absolutely It will cause a sensation!"
Ye Tian said loudly to the walkie-talkie very excited.
There was no trace of fear in his heart at this time, and he wished that the fight would break out immediately, and he would take a good look at these brutal North American gray wolves.
"Fighting lunatic!" The other three people reluctantly complained.
It seems that in response to Ye Tian's challenge, the running wolf suddenly stopped and began to roar towards the sky.
"Woo--!"
This howl is extremely stern, huge, deafening, and full of domineering arrogance.
The other sounds in the forest disappeared in an instant, leaving only this stern wolf howling, breathtaking!
Even the roar of the engines of the three all-terrain vehicles was overwhelmed by the howling of the wolf.
"Woo--!"
The other six gray wolves also began to howl immediately, their aura more majestic and the forests shook!
