Chapter 265: Chapter 228: Dangers Lurking Around

The cry of alarm directly alerted the people on Sean Knight’s side, and Elijah Hastings said to Lincoln Harrington:

"You protect the boss, we’ll go over there!"

Sean Knight waved his hand:

"Let’s go together!"

Then they all ran over.Over there, Grant Kenneth and Jenny were holding shovels and confronting a bear. The bear’s brown fur was dirty and disheveled, and it was growling at Grant.

Jenny was terrified, hiding behind Grant’s back, gripping his clothes tightly, and not daring to show her face.

Seeing Sean Knight and the others appear, the bear growled a little reluctantly, then turned and fled into the stone mountain.

Grant had also been trying to act tough just now. When he saw the bear run away, his heart suddenly relaxed. If it hadn’t been for Jenny behind him, he probably would have sat down on the ground.

Elijah Hastings went over and looked around for a while before saying:

"This is a Gobi Bear, it doesn’t harm humans. They just eat plants, rodents, and smaller animals. As long as you don’t do anything to provoke them, they won’t attack you."

"Then why did it roar at us?" Jenny obviously didn’t believe it, "Just now, if it wasn’t for Professor Grant, I would have definitely been bitten by it—God, it was so terrifying!"

"It roared at you because you ’occupied’ its food." Elijah Hastings pointed to a plant behind Jenny, "They eat this..."

Grant suddenly realized:

"I know Gobi Bears, they seem to be one of the rarest animals in the world, with only a few dozen in existence."

"Yes." Elijah Hastings nodded, "In a sense, we hit the jackpot today, encountering an animal even rarer than the panda."

Hearing that the bear was not dangerous, the others relaxed. However, Sean Knight still asked Douglas Cooper to watch from the high point on the stone mountain to avoid the appearance of other dangers.

The daytime temperature in the Gobi Beach was over 30 degrees Celsius, so Grant and the others stopped after working for a while and could only stay inside the tent.

However, Grant was very happy. Holding a natural stone slab, he excitedly said to Sean Knight:

"Mr. Knight, look, the imprint on this stone slab, it has a high chance of being a dinosaur footprint fossil! I believe in this area, dinosaur fossils can definitely be found!"

Sean Knight looked at the fossilized footprint and casually asked a question. Grant immediately excitedly talked about ornithischians, saurischians, theropods, and sauropods, which made Sean Knight’s head ache. So, he found an excuse to leave.

With the help of Sky Eye, he did find that there were indeed huge animal fossils nearby, likely to be dinosaur remains. However, the fossils were scattered, making it impossible for him to identify them.

After all, it’s not like the well-restored specimens that are combined together in museums.

However, the location was several tens of meters away, so Sean Knight didn’t worry about Grant and the others having nothing to do.

"Elijah, let’s go. Lincoln, you call Douglas down here, you guys stay and ensure the safety of the professor and the others."

Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings put on their hats, carried hunting rifles, carried backpacks, and held shovels as they walked west along the mountain.

Douglas Cooper came down from the mountain, and watching Sean Knight and the others departing in the distance, asked Lincoln Harrington:

"Mr. Patrick, where did the boss and the others go?"

Lincoln glanced at him and said:

"You already know the answer."

He then turned around and went to the tent to inspect his own weapon.

Grant came out of the tent, looked around for a while, but didn’t find Sean Knight, so he asked Douglas Cooper:

"Where is Mr. Knight?"

Douglas Cooper’s English wasn’t particularly good. He could understand it, but describing it was a bit difficult.

After all, he hadn’t communicated much with Grant before. When he heard him ask, he stuttered:

"Boss... something... He left."

Grant wanted to ask more but seeing Douglas struggle to speak, he lost interest in asking further questions. He went back to the tent, muttering:

"He may be tall and strong, but it’s a pity he stutters."

Douglas Cooper heard that and wanted to curse at him.

Next time, he would definitely ask Elijah to tell the boss to bring him along instead of leaving him here.

He really didn’t want to serve these people!

Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings walked along the mountain. Sean’s Sky Eye was always active, but he never found any traces of the treasure.

However, Sean Knight didn’t give up. If it could be found so easily, others probably would have dug up the treasure long ago. How could it still be here now?

Or maybe it had already been taken away.

If he couldn’t find it in the next few days, he would consider going to another location.

"Boss, can we hunt later?" Elijah Hastings suddenly asked.

"What are you hunting?" Sean Knight asked.

"Yellow Sheep." Elijah Hastings pointed at a distant area.

Sean Knight looked over and was shocked!

There were hundreds of yellow sheep scattered in the distance on the Gobi grassland, nibbling the plants that emerged from the gravel.

Those yellow sheep were very alert. Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings didn’t hide their figures, so when they were about one to two hundred meters away, the sheep noticed them and watched them warily.

Sean Knight continued to walk forward, saying while walking:

"Wait until later, when we go back, you can hunt one."

The taste of wild animals, if not handled properly, is actually not all that delicious.

However, they were now in the wild with no restrictions, and presumably, the Country of Mongolia itself didn’t forbid hunting, so Sean Knight didn’t object to Elijah Hastings’ idea.

Huh?

As they walked, Sean Knight’s Sky Eye found an ore vein below the mountain!

It was probably a copper mine because the ore was greenish, which was similar to the scattered ores Sean Knight had seen around the copper mines in his hometown.
