"I am a sinner, and I will repent." In 1920, a scientist named DeLo and his assistant were stopped by two never-before-seen apes in Venezuela's primeval forest. Delo was furious and commanded his assistant to brutally shoot one of the great apes, leaving tears of repentance afterwards.
François de Lo was commissioned by the Venezuelan government in 1920 to help the latter find the location of mineral deposits in the primary forest. This primeval forest is part of the Amazon rainforest and is rich in mineral resources, but it also has many dangers, such as various poisonous insects, plants, etc.
In addition to these things, there was also a local legend that in this primeval forest, there was a very scary ape. They are not only tall and big, with an extremely terrifying face, but also extremely irritable, and they are a very vicious animal.
The expedition led by Delo had heard about this terrible legend before setting off, but they didn't pay much attention to it. First, because this is originally a legend, no one has ever seen the so-called great ape; Second, the remuneration offered by the Venezuelan government this time is quite attractive, which makes DeLo and his aides look forward to this trip.
When everything was ready, Delo and five assistants set out towards this unknown primeval forest. In fact, before this, Delo and his team had hired locals as guides, but when the other party heard where they were going, they waved their hands in horror and refused.
The guide also reminded Delo in awe that there was a very old unknown creature in this forest, and if they disturbed them, they would be severely punished. However, for the guide's kind dissuasion, Delo and the others did not pay attention to it at all.
In this way, Delo and several assistants entered the primeval forest without a guide and began their expedition. But in the densely vegetated primeval forest, there are large trees everywhere, which makes an experienced expert like Delo quickly lose his way.
However, with excellent professional knowledge and rich wilderness survival skills, Delo quickly identified the direction and led the team all the way in the direction of water, all the way to a canyon area.
Because too much time was wasted in the forest to find direction, it was too late to continue in such a dangerous primeval forest. So Delo beckoned everyone to camp on the spot, get ready for a good night's sleep, and then continue the next day.
When everyone set up their tents and prepared to fetch water for cooking, an assistant suddenly exclaimed, it turned out that not far from him, two human-like species were chasing and fighting. This scene stunned everyone, but Delo signaled everyone not to make a sound, and to quietly observe what this thing was.
I saw these two apes chasing each other, jumping up and down, and making sounds from time to time. 🇺🇸 After a while, one of them seemed to notice that several humans were watching them not far away, so he kept yelling at Delo's group and made very violent movements.
One of Delo's assistants nervously subconsciously wanted to raise the gun in his hand, but was held down by Delo. Delo didn't want to make a difference, although he was very curious about them, but because he had a mission, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the two great apes, and was ready to leave with everyone.
However, to everyone's great surprise, the female of the two apes suddenly picked up a large rock from the ground at this time, roared and rushed over with a group. And he also threw a stone on Delo's head during the run, beating him to tears.
This made Delo angry, and he didn't want to conflict with the ape at this time, and he took the gun in his arms and shot at the ape. This bullet shot out, and the female ape was beaten into dice on the spot and lay there straight; Another male ape fled in a panic.
Delo and his assistant approached the ape's corpse, only to find that it was not the spider monkey they thought it was, but a great ape without a tail and 36 teeth. Delo then realized that the breathless ape in front of him was probably the terrifying monster described by the local population.
Great apes are an endangered species and very rare. Now that Delo killed one of them on impulse, the other ape is likely to die due to the loss of a mate, which makes great apes even rarer.
However, after a short period of loss, Delo still regained his calm and was ready to lead everyone forward, after all, discovering mineral resources and obtaining huge returns was the purpose of their trip. After taking a few photos, Delo continued to lead the team forward, but encountered multiple dangers in succession, and almost wiped out the entire army.
Only then did Delo realize that the two apes had no malice at all, and the reason why they grinned at themselves and even stoned themselves was just to remind them of the unpredictable danger in this forest. Delo, who learned the truth, couldn't help but burst into tears and deeply repented, but the lost life was irreparable.
Delo later released the photographs he took to the public, and the great apes he found were dubbed "Delo Great Ape", making him famous for a long time. However, since then, people have never found the figure of the "Delo Great Ape", whether this is Delo making up a lie or is true, can only wait for scientists to give an answer.
