Zhang Fan put his hands together and prayed for a while, and knew that the White Elephant King might have a deep connection with Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, or that the Dharma body of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was manifested, and here he saved African creatures. Buddhism emphasizes the equality of sentient beings, and no matter what kind of creature, he will be taught accordingly and given wisdom to give him the karma of becoming a Buddha.

It should be noted that the Bodhisattva’s vows are vast, not to mention that the white elephant of Samantabhadra has saved African elephants, which seems incredible. In addition, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saved sentient beings with serious sins in the hell path, and vowed that “hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha!” Zhang Fan thought of those hell corpses and monsters, and wanted to save such sentient beings and make them become Buddhas. It was incredible to think about it.

Just as everyone was about to get out of the cave, when passing by the old elephant who was lying on the elephant bones mountain, Zhang Fan put his hands together and prayed. After Zhang Fan finished his prayer, the corpse of the old elephant suddenly collapsed from the elephant bones mountain, and countless elephant bones were crushed. Even the broken tooth of the old elephant himself fell off.

Zhang Fan's heart moved, and he stepped forward to pick up the gray-yellow broken teeth, nodded to the old elephant, and stored it in the ring space. Perhaps this was the reward for the old elephant to escort Zhang Fan and his companions all the way.

Back to the valley, climbed up the hill, looked back at the valley, and found that the trees in the valley were vast, and there were traces of elephant tombs. Even if I rode a kite and looked down in the air, the elephant tombs had already melted in the African jungle and there was no trace anymore. Perhaps the elephant tombs would only be opened when the next old elephant returns...

Back at the port, the transaction here was not over. As usual, Akan asked Drake to help acquire some good-quality gems and gold, and didn't want anything else. Seeing Zhang Fan and Green-winged Dark Sakura safely returned, he asked Zhang Fan what he had discovered. Because the Xiang Tomb was closed, he was not worried that the greedy Akan would find it. Zhang Fan told him everything about the Xiang Tomb.

As expected, Akan beat his chest and stamped his feet, complaining that Zhang Fan had not collected part of the ivory in the elephant tomb. You should know how much wealth those ivory are equivalent to! Akan immediately took the wooden kite, took the goblin and Dornier, and flew towards the location of the elephant tomb! Two days and one night later, Akan, with bloodshot eyes, came back in disappointment. Sure enough, this guy got nothing!

"At least we made half of the ivory..." Zhang Fan took out the gray-yellow broken teeth with only the roots of the teeth and handed them to Aken.

Aken helplessly stroked the ivory root and murmured: "At least you took the whole piece of the root. After taking this useless root, it broke it like this, less than a foot, which is worth a lot of money! I don't know how this tooth was broken. The six prong angles at the break were smoothed, and it was good to make a pen holder for talisman pen..."

Zhang Fanluyi was shocked when he heard this and shouted in unison: "Can't grind it!" So he grabbed the broken teeth and looked carefully. The broken and jagged areas were indeed six slender sharp corners, like six short fingers, more like six curved and elegant teeth...

The fleet set off again, but after traveling east for more than a hundred nautical miles, it came to the ancient country of Ghana next to the Ivory Coast. This is now a Portuguese colony, where European merchants discovered large gold and diamond mines. In later generations, it was discovered that the reserves of gold were nearly 60,000 tons and the reserves of diamonds were about 100 million carats!

It is such a country rich in gold and diamonds, but it is a country in severe poverty in the real world. Now, Zhang Fan's team is anchoring at the primitive port with a fleet that is coming to plunder the wealth of this ancient country.

The ancient Ghana country has a large population, so the transaction volume of slaves here is also very large. Gold and black slaves are the two important commodities that Hawkins wants to acquire the most. Therefore, this "Golden Coast" is the most important stop in this gluttonous trade!

After learning from Shu Yao that this "Golden Coast" is rich in diamonds, Akan and the goblins disappeared as soon as they entered the port. They directly found the local gem mine, bought the mine owners and miners with rum and cheap industrial products, and bought diamonds and other high-quality gems. This is really convenient for Zhang Fan's team who owns a database like Shu Yao and a transportation tool like Mu Kit! After seeing the nest of the poisonous fang dragon, gems are very important for Zhang Fan's team's journey to find the dragon!

In the mining area, Akan thought that he had a friend, Jin Ling, who was also very sensitive to the treasure, so he summoned it. After obtaining the Byzantine treasure, this guy had already practiced to the realm of treasure hunting rats! However, this guy who was the deer-headed rat just sniffed in the air and told Akan that the nearest treasure was more than a thousand miles away. For treasure hunting rats, even if they could sense it, they could not dig and refine like a goblin, so they were not attractive to treasure hunting rats.

Zhang Fan and Shu Yao, who were not interested in gold and gems, carefully studied the dragon information provided by the King of Six Tooth White Elephant, and made up their minds to go to the Sanghai Empire. Part of the Sanghai Empire in the real world is Nigeria. Zhang Fan asked Drake and learned that in the traditional sense of the Hawkins fleet, if enough black slaves and gold were acquired in this "Gold Coast", this was the last stop. But it is estimated that after losing the 300 black slaves, Hawkins, who was unwilling to give up, would probably go east and arrive at the Port of Harcot of the Benin Empire. Because the Benin Empire and the Sanghai Empire have most of the population in Africa. Harcot Port is also the place with the largest transaction volume of black slaves.

It seems that Hawkins may have to acquire nearly 500 black slaves to the Caribbean this time. The 300 black slaves and a ship lost, making him like a gambler who lost his eyes and wanted to make back the losses and profits! However, Zhang Fan and Shu Yao knew that Hawkins, who was engaged in the Black Triangle trade this time, was destined to be a loss-making deal.

Because they were attacked by the Spanish fleet in the Caribbean, more than 300 British sailors were killed and lost. In the end, the two of them fled their lives by driving two sunken ships. This transaction of selling black slaves naturally lost all their money! It was precisely this reason that Drake and Hawkins formed a deep hatred with the Spanish Invincible Fleet, which led to Drake becoming the most famous English pirate in the Atlantic Ocean, and Drake's revenge in the "Battle of England and the Battle of the West" twenty years later!

Because it is expected that even if the Hawkins fleet will go to Harcourt Port, the stay will not be too long. Zhang Fan's team may take several months to find the unknown dragon. Zhang Fan asked Drake to help him recruit a group of black slave sailors so that after the Hawkins fleet leaves, he will be able to drive the large merchant ship hidden in Cape Verde.

Drake was very surprised. Why didn't this baron have a good memory? He insisted on using black slave sailors so much. You should know that although those guys are very cost-effective, they are very unreliable. But since they are the boss' request, Drake could not resist. Anyway, he and his cousin would never use these niggers on the ship.

So Drake promised Zhang Fan that when he arrived at Harcot Port in the Benin Empire, he helped Zhang Fan recruit sailors. Because the blacks there did have some experienced sailors. Some merchants in Africa also used ships to trade, but their ships only received goods from nearby ports and were unable to trade in Europe and the other side of the ocean. It was not that they had no sailing ability, but that they had no money or courage. A group of blacks ran to the European territory to do business, probably either sold as slaves to Europeans or were robbed by merchant ships who worked part-time pirates.

The ‘Golden Coast’ is worthy of being the ‘Golden Coast’. Akken and Yoda have purchased a large number of gem ore, all of which are high-quality gem ore carefully selected by goblins. And because it is raw ore, the price is naturally very low, just like buying a batch of stones. This is like gambling stones in southwest China in the real world. With ore exploration tools like goblins, you will naturally gain a lot of money.

Drake still helped Zhang Fan acquire a large amount of gold. At this point, Akan returned to the port to calculate and found that the team's wealth had increased by more than five times! And because they were all hard currency that could be used in any scenario, even if trade exchanges were not carried out, they could be used as scene wealth. In this way, the used Byzantine treasures were earned back half.

Akan discovered that those cheap European industrial products made money on this primitive continent were faster than robbery! What made Akan even more happy was that such predatory trade could be carried out in this trial scenario for twenty years! Wouldn't that be truly rich enough to rival a country! Now he is thinking about how to transform so many scene wealth into physical supplements and combat power.

Goblin Yoda is busy now. Although the team's props don't need to be fiddled with, the large number of gems ore can be considered for several years. For Goblins, it is their main job to think about these cute gems. Therefore, there is always a small figure in the cargo hold of the "Ark of China", holding a small chisel and hammer, "ding ding dang" day and night. Especially when it is late at night, everyone is a little nervous.

Hawkins bought nearly 200 black slaves in the "Gold Coast", so his number of black slaves reached more than 300. As expected, this guy was not satisfied, so the fleet sailed to the Port of Harcot, the final destination of this African voyage.

After entering the port, although this place is also a place with a lot of gold and gems, because of the mission of finding dragons, Akan had no time to make money. He handed over all the cheap industrial products acquired in Europe to Drake and asked him to exchange them for gold. He and Zhang Fan Shu Yao analyzed the information given by the Six Tooth White Elephant King and how to go to the Sanghai Empire.

"The White Elephant King said that there are many strange people in the Sanghai Empire. It seems that this dragon-seeking mission requires finding these strange people. But what kind of people are those strange people?" Aken thought hard.
