After Turning Into An Animal, I Rely On My Face To Make A Living

Chapter 45: ◎Antarctic Sweet Girl Adélie (11)◎



Shi Qiao, who was pretending to sleep, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the big man's answer, and let down her bristled hair.

Fortunately, the other party had no intention of leaving her. Otherwise, the sea was so big that it would be difficult to be lucky enough to meet each other again after separation.

The little penguin squeezed him again, and this time she felt more at ease when she fell asleep. The three stimulated Adélie penguins also reluctantly closed their mouths with warning eyes.

The little penguins slept until dawn, and when they woke up, they were very happy to see a few mature penguins who were still with them.

Shi Qiao thought to herself that she seemed to be the only one who was not prepared for her "parent" to leave her at any time. The other little penguins of the same age seemed quite independent.

There was no way, she was already used to being bound to the big guy for joint activities. Anyway, winter was coming and penguins could not walk alone. No matter how strong Adélie was, he had to succumb to the threat of extreme cold and still had to find groups of the same kind.

Since they always do activities with the same kind of people, then it is the same with them.

After understanding this, Shi Qiao was no longer worried. Some penguins who didn't want to act with them could just leave. As long as Klein was still around, nothing else mattered.

Three Goose Group: Are you polite?

Co-authoring them is the redundant one.

Since they still want to follow in the footsteps of the real leader, they can only give up the idea of leaving early.

Isn't it just to take care of the cub? Just keep taking care of it!

Except for Shi Qiao, the other little penguins knew nothing about what happened. They don't know that they have been protected by these mature Adélies by some strange combination. On the contrary, they feel that the guardian geese are more reliable than their parents, and they are simply Adélie role models.

When all the companions woke up, the little black head under the ice cave began to move dishonestly.

The Adélie got up angrier one by one. After a good sleep, they forgot about the dangers of yesterday. They showed their true colors one by one. Whenever they were energetic, they thought about having a fight with their companions for fun.

Adélie in the middle was very eager to get out, but when he found that he couldn't squeeze in, he started to nuzzle the heads of other little penguins.

Just as Shi Qiao was about to raise her head and ask Klein when he would go into the sea again, she was hit on the head by an indiscriminate attack. When she raised her head and looked at the center of the conflict, she found that all the Adélie were motivated to fight. When they were safe, the biggest threat to them was the hot-tempered similar people around them.

The little penguin suddenly became angry.

Some penguins forget to "obey the laws" as soon as they leave the colony, and learn to be rebellious before they even develop any skills!

Just when Shi Qiao was about to teach them a lesson, the boss next to her used force to suppress them first. He took the little penguin who started the fight out of the middle and beat them up.

Compared to a little penguin, being beaten up by a battle-experienced adult Adélie is no joke. The little penguin who was showing off his power just now held his head with his flippers and ran around. He felt that one nudge from the opponent was equivalent to being nudged more than ten times by the other Adélie, and he screamed in pain.

Shi Qiao took the opportunity to warn the remaining penguins: "If anyone dares to be dishonest again, the boss will throw you into the ice cave to feed the seals."

After hearing this cry, the other little penguins all stopped their fighting movements and stood still like a stop-motion animation, which looked quite funny.

It is easier to deal with these violent goslings with violence.

Shi Qiao has given up on oral education.

When these little penguins fighting in groups were all judged by the boss, each one became extremely honest and obedient, even more docile than the emperor penguins. The three Adélie outside the battlefield once again looked at them with sympathy.

Now that they have chosen to travel with some Antarctic bullies, there is hell ahead.

Seeing that these little penguins no longer wanted to fight among themselves, Shi Qiao had the opportunity to ask Klein: "Are we leaving?"

Klein glanced at the opponent's head that had been accidentally injured just now. He didn't find any substantial damage and then called out to the remaining Adélie: "Let's go to the sea."

The life of penguins is not as leisurely as humans imagine. When she was still a cub, Shi Qiao thought that when she grew up, she would be able to relax a little bit. She can not only reduce the burden on the boss but also allow her to go wherever she wants. In fact, Adélie have to travel long distances to find food, which is much more difficult than when they were cubs and just waited for their parents to feed them.

Many little penguins coming out of the colony will encounter various dangers because of their inexperience. The unfathomable ocean is far more difficult than land.

Even so, the nature of Adélies still drives them to rush to the sea without hesitation.

Shi Qiao followed Klein, as before, followed by the other Adélie columns. The young penguins who had just been taught a lesson were now very well-behaved, leaving and stopping whenever they wanted.

After last night, the ice surface on land has undergone some changes.

The continental ice in Antarctica is fragmenting and reorganizing every day. As the plates squeeze, large and small ice caves and ice trenches will appear on the land. In these holes and trenches, there will be Antarctic killer whales and seals hiding here.

Generally, seals will not appear when killer whales are around, but this does not mean that killer whales are safer than seals.

Someone once said that humans are the most damaging animals on land, and killer whales are the most damaging animals in the ocean. In addition to hunting seals, these vicious marine predators also like to eat little penguins as snacks.

Killer whales usually hide underground in ice trenches, come out of the water to breathe before Adélie appears, and wait patiently without saying a word when they have a premonition that prey is about to appear.

On the only way to the sea, they are most afraid of encountering these ice ditches that they have to pass through.

Adélie can jump directly into the sea from the middle of these ravines, provided that no natural enemies are ambushing them here.

As soon as Klein saw the ice trench where the water flow was not normal, he knew that there was most likely some natural enemy hiding underneath: "We'll jump a little higher later. There seems to be a killer whale here."

At this time, they cannot choose to go directly into the sea from the ice ditch, but they have to jump over.

The distance between the two separated pieces of ice is not that big, but for penguins whose limbs are not very coordinated on land, it is not easy to successfully jump to another piece of ice.

After jumping over, they have to keep their body completely steady, otherwise, they will slip into the ice ditch and fall into the mouth of the killer whale that has been waiting for a long time.

Just like the first time they went into the sea before, the young penguins were in a dilemma again.

They neither dare to be the first to jump nor do they want to fall behind and be separated by other companions who have successfully jumped over.

At this time, it was the turn of the mature Adélie to set an example for them. Klein walked to the edge of the ice here, spread his flippers, and easily crossed the "chasm" that seemed difficult to cross.

Shi Qiao tentatively glanced into the ditch. It still looked calm and could not see any signs of natural enemies.

However, she still chose to believe the boss. Since he said there were killer whales down there, there must be them.

The three Adélie penguins from behind encouraged these young penguins: "Jump, if you don't jump, there is no other way closer. Do you want to be left here?"

The young penguins refused one after another and stepped back.

Klein called to the little penguin, telling her not to be afraid and not to jump too far from the edge. He would catch her on the other side.

Shi Qiao plucked up the courage and decided to follow in the big man's footsteps and become the second penguin to jump over the ice ditch.

From a human perspective, she only needs to take a slightly larger step to cross over, but it is much more difficult for Adélie with short legs.

Shi Qiao calmed down, imagining Klein's posture just now, she spread her flippers on both sides to maintain balance and decided that if she couldn't stabilize her body in time after jumping over, she would quickly land on her belly and stick to the ice, making sure not to slip her feet out and fall into the ditch.

Try to jump as high as possible while ensuring the distance is appropriate, so as not to give the ambush killer whales a chance to react.

Jump to the other side before the opponent comes out to catch the penguin.

This tests not only her jumping ability but also her mentality to adapt to changes.

The little penguin looked at the water in the ditch and moved to a narrower position on the side. The male Adélie opposite her also walked to the corresponding position and was ready to respond.

The gap is narrower, which means that big men like killer whales cannot expose most of their bodies to the water. The space for them to move is actually very small. As Klein said, as long as she jumps higher, she can completely avoid their bloody mouths.

Without giving herself too much time to hesitate, Shi Qiao squatted down, accumulated strength, and jumped across the ice ditch.

While taking off, the angle was raised upwards, and before the killer whale could react, it landed smoothly on another piece of ice.

Klein rubbed the little penguin's head directly and was very satisfied with the other person's beautiful jumping posture.

Shi Qiao happily went back. After all, she was a good athlete when she was a leopard in her previous life, so she could easily master this little skill.

Two consecutive companions successfully jumped over the ice ditch. Under the urging of the three adult Adélies, the other young penguins also decided not to waste time and jumped over from their respective positions.

They thought it was very difficult before taking off, but it was actually not as insurmountable as they thought.

However, the killer whales lurking under the ice have also learned to be smart. They no longer hide their figures, but expose their black and shiny brains, causing psychological pressure on these Adélie.

This trick is useful for timid penguins.

In the end, two of the dozen or so young penguins in their group failed to escape the killer whales.

The reason is that when they were about to jump over, they accidentally glanced down and met the ocean predator's highly targeted eyes causing them to panic. When they landed, they stepped on the broken ice on the edge and became the dead soul under the mouth of the killer whale.

The same species that had been hugging each other for warmth earlier were suddenly buried in the ice ravine. The young penguins silently mourned for their companions, and then they could only set off and continue walking towards the farther continental edge ice.

Many Adélie penguins are born every year, but only a small number survive to the second breeding season.

If they don't want to set a precedent for other similar trials and errors, they must ensure that they have enough experience to resolve every danger.

From birth to now, Shi Qiao has seen countless penguins whose lives have been taken away by various reasons. Shi Qiao is determined to continue learning survival skills from Klein.

This was the harsh Antarctic, unlike any other environment she was familiar with. All she could do was try to survive.

The large group continued to return to the ocean from the edge of the continental ice on the other side of the ice trench according to the original route and returned to the warm water again. The penguins unexpectedly no longer felt strange the first time.

As soon as they entered the sea, they started chasing each other.

On the way to find small fish and shrimp to feed her belly, Shi Qiao saw another group of Adélie penguins. Her face blindness had improved a lot, and she could still recognize some of them as little penguins of the same age that she had seen in the colony before.

As expected, the penguins also came over after seeing them. It was inconvenient to open their mouths and quack underwater, so they stretched their heads to say hello.

When there is no danger, the same kind is the biggest threat. In a sea full of dangers, the same kind has become each other's right-hand man.

The little penguin followed the big guy and didn't notice another young penguin swimming towards her.

On the contrary, it was Klein who first noticed the young male following closely behind the little penguin. He speeded up to get rid of the other man's pursuit. Unexpectedly, the Adélie was quite persistent and still followed closely.

Shi Qiao felt that the boss was getting faster and faster, and she could no longer keep up. She thought that the other guy was trying to compete with her, so she got excited and chased with all her strength.

Unknowingly, they left all the others behind them.

However, when eating, they still meet up with the penguins coming from behind. The only fish nearby are the side-striped fish found by the small penguins.

When Shi Qiao saw the school of fish, she excitedly pointed it out to Klein and led him to swim over quickly.

Klein glanced back and found that the young male penguin that had been pushed away just now was approaching again.

The other party's eyes were still firmly fixed on the little penguin beside him.
