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

Chapter 46: ◎Antarctic Sweet Girl Adélie (12)◎



Klein narrowed his eyes and put his child behind him, blocking the other person's sight.

This failed to stop the persistent penguin.

Just as he was about to leave the school of fish and drive away the young male Adélie who was sticking it up like a piece of dog-skin plaster, the other man swam over from the other direction, stretched out his flippers and took the initiative to touch the little penguin.

Shi Qiao looked at the other penguin suspiciously, and then saw the other penguin waving his flippers towards her as if to say hello.

The little penguin didn't understand why he was saying hello while she was eating. The penguin continued to gesture with his flippers, opened his mouth, cooed at her, and made a babbling gesture, which was obviously trying to remind her of something.

Shi Qiao looked at it for a while without knowing why, thinking that there might be something wrong with the other person's brain, so she turned around and concentrated on helping the boss find the fattest fish.

While she was picking and choosing a few to eat, the young penguin was already being attacked by horrible looks from a place where the other penguin could not see.

Fortunately, the little penguin didn't pay attention to the other party's intention. Klein used his eyes to force the other party back, pretending that nothing happened and swam back to the little penguin to continue eating.

Shi Qiao is still carefully selecting from a group of Antarctic side-striped fish. She can eat whichever fish she encounters, but she can't be so casual about giving them to the boss. She ate the thin ones and gave the boss the fat one

Seeing the little penguin holding the small fish to her mouth like a treasure, a certain Antarctic bully relaxed his mood, took the food fed to his mouth, and swallowed it into his stomach.

Unexpectedly, after all the penguins had eaten and drank and swam to another piece of ice on the continental edge, the young penguin who was in the sea just now was still following the little penguin reluctantly. The two groups of penguins merged into a circle and shook off the water droplets from their feathers on the ice at the edge of the continent.

The Young Adélie opened his mouth and quacked at the little penguin: "Don't you remember me?"

Shi Qiao answered honestly: "I don't remember, who are you?"

Originally, she couldn't tell the faces of these penguins clearly. She had to look at the eyes to identify the Adélie she had seen before. It was still a bit difficult to tell which one was which.

The other party was disappointed for a second and then immediately said: "We fought when we were kids."

Shi Qiao thought to herself that there were so many penguins whom she fought when she was young. As long as they had been in the same penguin colony, basically, all the little penguins had fought with her. It was a bit too general.

The opponent saw that the other male Adélie was about to release his killing gaze again, and quickly said: "I am Rao!"

This name seemed to have been heard among the little penguins, and Shi Qiao racked her brains to recall some memories.

It seemed to be the little penguin in the penguin colony that she gave a harsh lesson to for the first time, the one that she beat and cried.

Shi Qiao's first reaction was, no, the penguin chicks grew up and became stronger than her and came back to retaliate. The most important thing among Adélie is those who hold grudges.

She glanced at the other person warily, always on the lookout for the penguin to say something or take action. However, she saw that the Adélie opposite her seemed to be quite happy to have remembered him, and moved closer to her.

Before Shi Qiao could take a few steps back, a big boss appeared in front of him.

Rao had also seen her guardian goose before when he was in the Adélie penguin colony, but he didn't expect that this famous male mother had not left his chick after reaching adulthood. It seems that the protective desire is not ordinary.

The little penguins that bullied him when he was a child have lost their baby feather like their fellow penguins and grown into adult penguins.

The first time the two groups of Adélies met, they found each other among the penguins. On the one hand, it was the male Adélie following the other person, and on the other hand, it saw a sweet girl's face that looked very similar to his childhood.

Although Adélie looks similar, there are specific differences.

At least among a group of irritable Adélie who were always beating and scolding others, the emotionally stable little penguin stood out.

Adélie, who has not yet reached the breeding season, will also automatically look for companions who are pleasing to the eye and like to keep company. The little beatings he received as a child have long gone with the wind. A mature penguin will not care about a small past. 

First come first when it comes to getting closer to the moon. Before the breeding season comes, get close to the beautiful sister first. After developing a relationship, they can automatically match.

Rao thought happily.

But its idea is doomed to fail, just because there is a "parent" in front of the other party that no one dares to provoke.

Klein looked at the little male penguin that had repeatedly come close to her and carefully considered the possibility of giving it a good beating and then driving it away.

She had just eaten and was too lazy to fight. Shi Qiao didn't know whether the other party came here to reminisce about old times or to find trouble. Adélie nature is hard to change. Even if he seems fine now, there's no guarantee that he won't settle the score later. The little penguin directly dragged the big guy, turned around, and left.

Find a glacier rock wall that can block the wind and stick to it for warmth. If they stay any longer, they will freeze to death.

Penguins are very herdlike animals. As long as one of the penguins takes the lead, the others will follow suit. Shi Qiao originally planned to stick together with the big boss, but in the end, it turned into two large groups of penguins that merged into one.

She has to say that living in groups is quite annoying. Even if she wants to have some private space, she can't do it.

Shi Qiao glanced at the unsmiling cool guy next to her and felt that the long-awaited adulthood seemed to be no different in the eyes of the boss. She felt that he was used to raising cub, was very pure, and looked like a competent parent.

This can make things difficult for little penguins who are not pure-minded.

It is really difficult to have no memory. The original emotional foundation is gone, as is the usual constant contact. Due to the influence of the extreme cold weather, even unfamiliar Adélie can stick to him at any time without any burden, and even physical contact has become the norm.

Shi Qiao felt that all the stickers she had now were regarded by the boss as stickers that were needed because of the cold, and the nuzzling that could have been used to express emotions had become a very common thing.

This makes the "sticker maniac" very frustrated.

However, autumn is getting colder and colder, and the current temperature in Antarctica is very unfriendly to penguins who do not stay in groups. It is still warmer to live in groups, so she can only tolerate it.

Klein, who is very pure in the heart of the little penguin, is currently staring at Rao from a place where the other party cannot see him. Before falling asleep, the Adélies all looked for a suitable place to bury their heads in. It wasn't until they were sure that the approaching male penguin was far away from his little baby that Klein looked back.

They were surrounded by a group of three geese, and the little penguin was placed in front of him as she did when she was a child. No other penguin could sneak up on her while he was sleeping and changing positions.

He really guessed what a certain penguin was thinking.

The shrewd Adélie will choose the penguin he likes to sleep next to him. Rao quietly moves here little by little, hoping to use the opportunity of the penguin group to change positions to successfully move to the little penguin.

But before it came over, it was blocked by four more mature Adélie Walls.

When asked why there were four, the three-goose group said that the eldest brother kicked them all awake one by one and did not dare to disobey.

Even if they are so sleepy that they are about to fall asleep, they still have to surround his little baby and not give other penguins a chance to take advantage of it.

Swimming in the sea for so long consumed too much energy. Shi Qiao fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. She had no idea that a "copper wall" had been built around her. When they moved to block the incoming penguins, they moved her position. The little penguin had no support behind it, and her feet were unstable and she was shaking from the cold.

When the three bodyguard penguins saw a certain male mother, they immediately left and returned to their original positions, as fast as a gust of wind.

Shi Qiao: "..."

Really don't love them too much, that's not how you pamper your children!

Unable to get close to the little penguin, Rao stopped regretfully and turned around to find a spot to sleep with other penguins.

The continental edge ice they are on is already dozens of kilometers away from the settlement. Adélie will follow the food farther and farther away from their original home, and slowly migrate farther on the ice until they return to familiar land during the next breeding season.

Throughout the winter, the ice shelf will break apart and merge into a whole, and new ice surfaces will be squeezed out to form ice floes. Large or small ice floes will become the temporary foothold of the Adélies.

The continental edge ice where they are now does not rely on land. It is an independent whole, but the area is large enough for dozens of Adélie penguins to rest together.

The penguins will not stay in one place for too long, their goal is to continue to conquer the sea.

After a good night's sleep, Shi Qiao felt like a drained battery that had been recharged with energy. Her legs were stronger and she could swim dozens of kilometers more!

They were lucky the first two times and did not swim hundreds of kilometers without encountering food, but luck will not always hang over their heads.

Going into the sea this time was much more tiring than before.

Continuing to swim in one direction led to no way out, so the Adélie jumped out of the water and chose to dive deeper, looking for squid and deep-sea fish that could not be found in shallow waters.

At this time, the advantage of having a mature Adélie lead the team was revealed. Klein dived diagonally downwards. There was a place with special seaweed where it was easiest to find squid.

Compared with krill, squid, a large mollusk, is also a rare delicacy for penguins.

Under the leadership of the boss, Shi Qiao found a small squid swimming forward near a pile of seaweed without much effort. Compared with krill, which often gather in large groups, squid are much more cunning. When caught, they have to swim at super high speeds to grab the tentacles with their beaks.

Shi Qiao failed for the first time and let go of a prey in vain. She was a little discouraged and turned to the boss for help.

Compared to her, the other party had no trace of ink at all. Shi Qiao was used to being a leopard lurking in the past. She always liked to observe and observe again, waiting until the prey approached to the nearest distance before taking it down in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, this was not a grassland, and there was no environment for penguins to hide.

What they have to do is rush when they see it.

Adélie penguins become small torpedoes under the sea. When they reach a certain speed, they carry seawater with transparent bubbles behind them. Their streamlined bodies are used to the extreme, and there is no obstacle or pressure at all.

Klein heard no sound at all as he swam down, quickly approached the small squid, and bit a trailing tentacle with his pointed beak as the squid fled, successfully capturing the first prey of the day.

If it weren't for being underwater, Shi Qiao would have wanted to cheer for the boss.

The penguin's own advantages were fully utilized by the opponent, leaving no opportunity for the undersea creatures to escape.

Just as she was about to implement the hunting method she had just seen, the other party swam towards her with the newly caught squid in her mouth, and the freshly baked food was fed to her mouth.

As soon as she saw the boss's handsome skills, the next second the prey was given to her, Shi Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also very well-prepared.

Shi Qiao opened her mouth to take the squid, and Klein grabbed a tentacle to help tear it apart so that the little penguin could swallow it.

The little penguin ate the half that he had torn off and signaled to the other party to eat the remaining half of the squid. One half of the goose, and she would catch it again!

The smell of squid tentacles in the sea was spread by the water. There was another greedy young Adélie who wanted a piece of the pie, but he had no choice but to stop when he saw a certain figure carrying the handle.

There was also a newly merged and silly penguin among them. Without thinking, he swam towards the two Adélies, one big and one small.

Klein has taught the little penguin his skills and goes deeper to find other food.

He did not expect that his trust in the cub would become a gap for other penguins to take advantage of and show their attentiveness.

Rao, who was originally catching fish further away, saw that there was no parent around the little penguin, so he quickly snatched a small fish from the other Adélie's mouth before it could be swallowed, and swam over to find the other Adélie with his gift.

On the other side, Shi Qiao had just found her hunting target, a squid swimming up from below.

Squids are different from swarms of fish and shrimp. They don't often appear in groups, so they appear to be rare. The one in front of her is bigger than the one she just ate. It looks delicious and is very suitable for giving to the boss as a delicious meal. It can also let the other person know that she is a smart goose who knows everything.

The little penguin kept in mind the opponent's hunting skills. This time, she didn't hesitate and waited as much as before and rushed forward.

Just when she was about to charge up and move forward at full speed, she was suddenly blocked by another penguin.

Shi Qiao was startled when her way was suddenly blocked. When she came to her senses, she watched her prey spray out a stream of ink, muddy the sea water, pat his butt, and walk away.

The little penguin was so angry that the water around her was boiling. She had to catch her own and don't bother other geese!

It dawned on her when she saw the young penguin in front of her clearly.

It's that penguin named Rao again.

Shi Qiao had already determined that the other party had a grudge against her and came specifically to disrupt her hunting activities at this time to take revenge. It was really abominable. She had never been afraid to speculate the worst malice on these ill-intentioned Adélie.

There was also a goose here that was holding its breath and wanted to catch the best prey for the boss, but unexpectedly it was delayed.

The little penguin was so aggrieved that she used all her strength to give the other party a hard slap.

Seeing that the other party had a small fish in his mouth, Shi Qiao, who inherited the "excellent" traditional virtues of the boss, snatched it directly from the other party's mouth and took it as her own with confidence.

Wicked people have their own trials and tribulations. This is the experience she has learned from being around a bully for two lifetimes. If there is no worse villain, then she will be one!

The young male penguin opposite looked at the little penguin with a heavy slap on his head as she swam to the other side to complain to Klein. The whole goose felt sluggish.

He originally wanted to give her a fish to increase her favorability points, but in the end, he ended up being robbed.

The painting style is completely different from what he expected!
