Regardless of the worries in people's hearts, the polar bears' lives on land remained as helpless as ever, enduring high temperatures and hunger, and using their limited energy to find food to fill their bellies as much as possible.
Or they would rather remain still, trying to rely on the fat on their bodies to wait for the arrival of ice and snow.
Clever seagulls, catching wind of the polar bears' meal times, flocked to share the food scraps left over by Audiss and Qiao Qixi, chirping noisily.
After three times, they remembered this newly added foraging place.
The noisy seabirds and the fishy smell of food scraps in the air inevitably attracted new foragers.
After more than two months of land life, these polar bears who came from afar were all exhausted, thin, and their eyes no longer had the light of innocence and liveliness.
Fortunately, the god of luck did not abandon them, and these dusty fellows finally caught up before the White Whale pod left this shallow sea area.
Yes, dusty.
Especially the area on their faces and the backs of their noses, which was simply pitch black.
Compared to them, Qiao Qixi would find himself so handsome and white.
Of course, there was also Audiss, a proper dragon and phoenix among bears.
A total of three Male polar bears arrived one after another. Exhausted, they no longer posed a threat to Bear Mama and the Little Polar Bear, but the cautious Bear Mama still took the Little Bear to Audiss's 'territory' to temporarily avoid the risk.
The purpose of those three polar bears was obvious: the White Whale wandering in the shallow sea.
After a long journey, they were already starving, but the delicious meal so close at hand could not be rushed; they needed to plan slowly.
The drone noticed this scene. In the lens, the three polar bears were scattered in various parts of the sea, without interfering with each other. The hungry bears were about to display their respective hunting skills, and perhaps they would be able to obtain a long-awaited delicious meal soon.
Qiao Qixi, who was originally squatting in the shade, yawning boredly, suddenly saw the Little Bear and its mother strolling over, and his eyes lit up.
Hi, Little Bear neighbor, how are you? Have you eaten?
Whether it was Qiao Qixi's illusion or not, the Little Bear next door, whom he hadn't seen for many days, seemed to have grown a bit taller. Was it because he had been eating more frequently recently?
Tsk tsk tsk, the Little Bear's family really needs to eat well to grow taller.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qixi couldn't help but lower his head to look at his waistline, but he couldn't tell whether he had gained weight or grown taller.
The only thing he could be sure of was that he seemed to be two times taller and stronger than that Little Bear, which meant that he was no longer a baby and could be considered a sub-adult bear, right?
But so what?
Audiss still treated him like a baby all day long. Except for hunting, when he couldn't be distracted, he almost never took his eyes off him.
Qiao Qixi might have 'enjoyed' this kind of treatment before he was three years old when he was human.
Now, the abrupt arrival of Bear Mama alarmed Audiss, who was in a light sleep beside Qiao Qixi.
The behemoth, taller than any of the newly arrived polar bears, opened his eyes. With a trace of sleepiness remaining, he quickly woke up, then got up, stretched, and stretched his muscles and bones.
Audiss's actions were somewhat similar to those of felines. Well, bears and dogs belong to the same family. Rather than saying he was like a feline, it was more like the instinct of a canine.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qixi was dying of laughter that Audiss and dog were actually close relatives.
While Audiss was stretching, his gaze had already noticed the Bear Mama and cub 'invading' his territory, as well as the scent of those unfamiliar polar bears floating from upstream.
You could tell from his neck-stretching movements that he was investigating the situation.
Bear Mama and Audiss were also mother and son. They looked at each other from a distance. In Qiao Qixi's eyes, this action was a silent negotiation. The mother bear was testing Audiss's attitude, while Audiss was defending his position.
Although there was no sound, they communicated without hindrance.
In the end, as Qiao Qixi guessed, the Bear Mama with the cub stopped and stayed at the edge of Audiss's 'territory'. This was the result of their 'negotiation'.
Qiao Qixi couldn't help but feel proud of his ability to interpret. He had only been a polar bear for more than four months, and he could already roughly interpret many polar bear behaviors and languages without being far off.
It seemed that in another half a year, the communication between him and Audiss would be smoother and more natural.
The three new neighbors did not have a real impact on Qiao Qixi's life, although he had already learned about the new neighbors through his keen sense of smell.
At the same time, Qiao Qixi was not disgusted by the arrival of strange polar bears.
On the contrary, there were relatively ample hunting opportunities here, which could reduce the risk of going hungry. If one more came to hunt, it could prevent one polar bear from starving to death. He was quite happy to see it.
The White Whale swimming into the shallow sea tributaries to stay was a seasonal behavior, which meant that this polar bear paradise would not last long. When the White Whale pod swam back to the deep sea to live, they would also embark on a journey to find food elsewhere.
Audiss knew this well, and he would try to hunt as much food as possible in the limited time.
To feed himself and the Little Bear waiting to be fed.
In mid-August, the temperature on this coast rose, and it was about to exceed last year's record, reaching a point where the polar bears were restless.
The White Whale, who were about to swim back to the deep sea, became increasingly difficult to catch.
Perhaps patiently squatting for a whole day might not lead to success.
The Little Polar Bear, who was learning to hunt by Audiss's side, was slightly aware of the current situation. He didn't know if Audiss was anxious, but in short, he, who had been learning for so long without successfully hunting a White Whale, was so anxious that he was starting to shed his fur.
Of course, this was a seasonal problem and was normal, sob sob sob.
During the molting season, Audiss also had a pile of fur lumps on his body. The trunk of a larger tree on the shore, as well as those uneven rocky surfaces, became Audiss's tools for assisting in molting and scratching.
Obviously, these fur lumps made him very uncomfortable.
Audiss had torn off all the places his mouth could reach.
The Little Polar Bear, who only knew how to eat, was obviously useful at this time.
Seeing Audiss rolling on the ground in discomfort, the Little Polar Bear put his mouth up to help the other party clean up the fur lumps that had not been completely removed.
Feeling the pulling force, Audiss suddenly stopped moving and looked up at the Little Bear who was obediently helping him.
Helping the other party tear off the fur lumps on their body was not something that would happen between ordinary two polar bears, and there was no such awareness in their genetic memory.
Audiss did this because he loved the Little Bear, while the humans observing them believed that the Little Polar Bear was influenced by Audiss to do this.
In short, these were two smart and affectionate polar bears, and they seemed to be quite friendly to other polar bears as well.
This season was the season when the hair on the polar bear's belly was the sparsest because they needed to cool down.
Qiao Qixi patiently cleaned the old fur on Audiss's abdomen and licked the fragile area where the skin could be vaguely seen. Soon, a new layer of dense, tiny fluff would grow here.
To spend the winter.
Audiss lay motionless on his back, seeming to enjoy the Little Polar Bear's thoughtful service very much.
Whenever the Little Bear stopped, he would look at the Little Bear with a 'expect to continue' gaze.
Even if he couldn't speak, his whole body was language.
Wasn't Qiao Qixi stopping to clean the fur on his mouth with his paws?
Licking and licking again.
To be honest, Audiss's abdominal muscles were really strong, without any sense of fat.
Although Qiao Qixi had never licked his own belly, he could imagine the gap between himself and Audiss, which was about three and a half polar bears apart.
While working hard and diverging his thoughts, Qiao Qixi thought, what would it taste like when Audiss licked his belly?
Oh, it must be quite greasy.
“……”
Times were different now. The world seemed to be getting more and more difficult. After working as a child laborer for Audiss, the other party still wanted to hug him to sleep.
But how could he fall asleep?
He hadn't eaten for half a day.
Patiently waiting for Audiss to fall asleep, Qiao Qixi sneaked to the water's edge and lay down, maybe he could wait for a blind White Whale.
Speaking of which, he really wanted to successfully catch a White Whale this summer and share it with Audiss.
Recently, his motivation and determination have been seen by the netizens on the forum.
But Alexander, as a Little Bear, it is normal to not be able to catch a White Whale. There is no need to stare at the sea 24 hours a day.
That way, Audiss might think he is derelict of duty and has not fed you…
Have you forgotten the nightmare of being chased and fed?
Did Alexander catch a White Whale today?
The poster posted a picture of the Little Polar Bear hunting alone today. Only he himself is a bear on the sea in the overhead shot: Alexander full of motivation.
: Oh, look at this hardworking Little Tangyuan, with no edges at all.
: What's going on? Audiss is not around. I said he is not reliable in taking care of the baby.
: No, Audiss is resting.
: It seems that everyone has misunderstood. Audiss caught a White Whale not long ago. They are not hungry now. It is estimated that Alexander just wants to learn to hunt.
: The child is so ambitious, and the old father shed tears of relief (although he has never succeeded once, laughing to death)
: No matter what the result is, this effort is worth praising, but I still have to say, Alexander is just like a very hardworking classmate in our class. He comes the earliest and leaves the latest every day, but his grades, alas.
: The 'alas' upstairs is very spiritual.
: Don't say that about Alexander. What's most important these days? It's not grades, it's attitude!
: No, what's most important these days is background. Don't understand? Then I'll say it directly, I want a father like Audiss, sob sob sob, or a husband would be fine too.
As more and more people paid attention to the lives of Audiss and Alexander, many netizens said that they liked Audiss, this silent and calm big guy, very much.
He is doting, reliable, powerful, and has a sense of security, and he is simply too good to Alexander, to the point of being enviable.
Especially the ladies, it is almost difficult to resist this charm.
The situation on the shallow coast was as people guessed. Audiss woke up and saw Qiao Qixi lying on the sea surface, and walked over without hesitation.
He seemed to think that Little Polar Bear was hungry, so he went over and licked his head and face for a while, then entered hunting mode to catch White Whale for Little Polar Bear to eat.
Qiao Qixi's eyes drifted to the side: Here?
Once again, Qiao Qixi regretted that he couldn't speak.
It's just that, after guarding here for so long, he really wanted to complain about this and that.
There are fewer and fewer White Whale in the sea.
And each one is so alert, no matter how he wanders around, they stay far away from him.
Of course, because the White Whale in this area have almost all been chased by Audiss, White Whale are not stupid either.
Won't they slowly become vigilant?
Speaking of which, Little Polar Bear, who is guarding here to practice hunting, is in a complicated mood at the moment, very much like a girl dealing with her period, afraid that it won't come, but also afraid that it will come.
How could Little Polar Bear forget the nightmare of being chased and fed meat?
What if Audiss catches a White Whale in the next second, and it happens to be a chubby White Whale... Qiao Qixi shuddered at the thought of this.
After thinking about it, he came up with a good idea.
Audiss likes to be sure of success when hunting. He won't easily take action if there is a general opportunity.
Hehe, Qiao Qixi smiled in his heart.
In the following time, he would rush out 80% of the time, so it wouldn't be Audiss's turn to take action.
But there are side effects to doing this!
After three times, Audiss looked at him like he was looking at a turd-stirring stick.
"..."
This farce ended when the turd-stirring stick was too tired to stir, and finally stopped making trouble, only quietly watching the strong take action from the side.
What Qiao Qixi didn't expect was that this next White Whale would be their last delicious meal on the shore.
That's right, after eating and sleeping, when he went to the shore to study again, he found that all the White Whale had disappeared.
As if overnight, all the White Whale returned to the deep sea, and the once lively shallow sea returned to silence.
Ah, this...
Qiao Qixi couldn't react a bit.
It was so sudden.
What happened?
Audiss seemed to have expected it. He was not nostalgic for this coast where he had lived for nearly a month. When he found that the White Whale herd had left the shallow sea, he also called Little Polar Bear to leave.
In order to prevent Little Polar Bear from leaving with him, Audiss cleverly picked up Little Polar Bear's favorite little yellow bucket.
Holding, holding The Son Of Heaven to Command The Dukes...?
A sentence popped into Qiao Qixi's mind. Recently, these strange things always appeared in his mind. He was amused by himself and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He trotted to catch up with Audiss's pace.
Compared to Audiss's lack of nostalgia for his 'old home', Qiao Qixi had a strong sense of belonging to this coast, and suddenly felt a little down when he had to leave.
After all, who would want to be a wandering vagrant if they could have a stable life?
But maybe this is life. When there is food to eat, you are so full that you are about to vomit, and when there is no food to eat, you worry about where the next meal will be.
But as long as he is with Audiss.
Qiao Qixi looked at Audiss's huge and reliable back and thought happily, it doesn't seem lonely anywhere.
Little Polar Bear ran up quickly and bumped Audiss's big butt with his little butt.
Yo hoo! Brother—
He is now full of expectations for the future.
Touched by the lovely bump, Audiss suddenly turned his head and stared at this Little Polar Bear, whose mood was already elated, his eyes shining brightly.
Qiao Qixi hehe thought warily, I'm so cute, would Audiss want to sit on me and kill me?
It's better to stay away from him.
Little Polar Bear, who had a lot of thoughts, ran happily to the front.
Of course, Audiss wouldn't want to sit on him and kill him, but he just chased after him and licked him.
Qiao Qixi took the opportunity to snatch back his little yellow and put it on his head. How can he not bring a Level 3 Helmet when traveling around the world?
In case he steps into a pit and falls, he can still protect his head!
Before he was hungry, Little Polar Bear maintained this spirit, and he was the happiest along the way.
Audiss was always the center. He quietly watched Little Polar Bear exploring around him, with himself as the center.
The terrain in the wild is not flat, and sometimes it is necessary to climb, cross pits, and wade.
When he encountered a relatively high rock slope, Audiss easily went up. He looked back at Little Polar Bear below and made a low call.
As soon as Qiao Qixi saw this height, he knew that he couldn't get up. He shook his head and said, no, no, he had to go around this place.
Standing on it and watching for a while, Audiss looked around quite blankly, and finally turned his gaze back to Little Polar Bear.
He came down from the slope and climbed up again, as if to say: It's very simple, you see?
Qiao Qixi just wanted to say: Look at your bear head.
Is there no flat road in the world?
Why challenge this rugged path!
Audiss licked his lips: "..."
He was at a stalemate with Little Polar Bear, and he seemed a little helpless, and finally came down from the slope for the second time.
At this time, Qiao Qixi thought that his non-violent non-cooperation had succeeded, but in the next second, Audiss, who came to his side, opened his mouth and bit his neck, yes, the whole neck, and then took him to the slope!
"Aww—"
The sudden fright, coupled with the dull pain from his neck, made Qiao Qixi make a pig-like sound.
It resounded through this peaceful land.
Fortunately, this process was very short, only about two seconds. Audiss had already successfully carried it up and carefully placed it on the flat ground.
Little Polar Bear, who was crawling on the ground, had tears in his eyes, sob sob sob, he felt like his neck was broken.
The feeling of being carried in the air by his neck was a bit too terrifying.
How could he also weigh a few hundred pounds? Although for Audiss, who weighs 800 kilograms, it was as simple as carrying a kitten.
Qiao Qixi, who was being carried by Audiss like this for the first time, turned his neck in fear and found that there was nothing wrong, so he put away his cowardly appearance.
Audiss took two steps tentatively, turned his head and looked at Little Polar Bear quietly, his eyes doting and full of patience.
He also meant to coax him to follow.
Did Audiss smell something delicious?
Qiao Qixi got up from the ground and wiped away Schrodinger's tears with his paw. Aha, didn't expect it, he was pretending to cry again.
Based on the understanding between the two, he suspected that Audiss had found something delicious, otherwise he wouldn't have brought him over the mountains with such a clear goal.
But it was bald here, and Qiao Qixi didn't think there was much hope.
Little Polar Bear, who followed Audiss away from the coast and walked towards the land, had already made plans not to eat for a week.
You have to be aware of what it's like to live in the wild. If you want to eat your fill every day, who do you think you are?
One big and one small polar bear were walking slowly on the grassy slope.
Maybe they walked 50 kilometers, or maybe they walked 80 kilometers. In short, they had to walk for about three days.
The drone didn't know where they were going, and couldn't help but worry about the future of these two little angels.
After following Audiss for three days, a human wooden house appeared in Qiao Qixi's field of vision. This was the first time he had seen a human building since he returned to nature.
Qiao Qixi's first reaction was not surprise, but worry.
After all, Audiss being shot and hospitalized was still vivid in his mind, and those were all the cruel acts of poachers.
But then again, Audiss's sense of smell is so sensitive, he dares to come here, which means that there are no traces of humans here.
Qiao Qixi was stunned.
No way, no way, Audiss's goal is this cabin?
Qiao Qixi felt guilty: My Bear Brother, burglary starts at least three years, just because we are bears doesn't mean we can do whatever we want, that's not good.
Sniff.
But the fishy smell coming from inside, the damned deliciousness.
