Warm ocean currents bring abundant food and also a message of spring.
The glaciers in the distance melted, and thin rivers were washed out of the flat ice, and they finally merged together and became broad rivers. With the rush of the water, large pieces of crumbling ice rolled down, and finally drifted with the current to an unknown distance.
This dead and silent world finally has a lively charm.
However, the Kantas in the distance are unaware of all the changes, and they now have more important and sacred things to do.
In the dark lair, a small life was bred successfully.
The lair was quiet, and the male Kantas was staring intently at the mermaid in front of him. Although they couldn't get close, they knew that there was something very important under the mermaid's body at this moment.
At this moment, whether it is the female who is in charge of production, or the male who is in charge of guarding, they are very tired.
Especially the males, in order to welcome the arrival of new life and be alert to accidents in the production process, the male Kantas has not gone out to hunt for a long time, and the only food they have is the first to meet the needs of the females. They are not only tired, but also very hungry.
But the satisfaction of having eggs outweighs everything else.
They stayed quietly in the nest, guarding everything in front of them.
Although they are not allowed to approach at present, they know that they only need to wait a few more days at this moment. When the female Kantas leave, they can take over the heavy responsibility of hatching eggs.
Therefore, after entering the estrous period collectively, the breeding grounds of the Kantas entered the spawning period collectively again. Some of them have succeeded, and the other part is not far from success. As long as they wait for the females to give birth smoothly, they will They all have their own eggs.
That's when the accident happened—
A huge ice layer in front was broken, and accompanied by a huge ice-breaking sound, a large amount of water roared towards the breeding ground of Kantas!
It happened so suddenly! The Kantas in the lair have no idea what's going on outside! When they heard the screams of their companions and climbed out to check the situation, the raging water immediately flooded their lair—
For the terrestrial male Kantas, this is undoubtedly a disaster!
However, for female Kantas, this is a sign of coming home—
Every year, the turbulent sea will send them to the breeding ground, and likewise, they will be told to go home.
The female Kantas who had been trapped by the males for many days let out howls. They are calling their companions around with this voice: it's time to go home, it's time to leave.
The rushing water finally submerged the breeding grounds of the Kantas.
No matter how strong the nest is, it can't withstand a face-to-face encounter under the turbulent sea water. The nest built by the males has been completely overthrown!
Many male Kantas who didn't react in time were immediately washed away by the current, and they didn't even have time to look at their eggs!
However, the females were liberated at the moment the nest was destroyed, and swam out of the broken nest. They were delighted to feel the cold sea water embrace them again. Mermaids broke free from their lairs, and they quickly gathered in groups and swam towards the ocean!
What Meng Jiuzhao saw was just such a magnificent sight.
Dragging its long fish tail, groups of mermaids passed over his head vigorously—
They had been out of the water for so long that they couldn't wait. A mermaid at the end of the line hadn't even finished her delivery, Meng Jiuzhao watched helplessly as a round egg was pushed out from her tail and slowly fell into the water.
The female mermaid should not be completely emotionless. She tried to catch her own eggs, but the team formed by other mermaids was swimming too fast. In order not to be abandoned by the team, she finally flicked her tail and gave up her own eggs. Egg, she rejoined the Clan.
Egg-
Yes! Where's Louie's egg
It was very unfortunate: Meng Jiuzhao and Louis' lairs were located on the edge of the breeding ground, in a very low position. They didn't think too much about it at the time, and there was no other better place for them to choose. As a result, their nests were the first to be flooded.
Louis became the prototype on the spot. Between the egg under his ass and Meng Jiuzhao, he didn't hesitate too much. Not long after Louis picked up Meng Jiuzhao, they were washed away by the sea.
Meng Jiuzhao was rescued, but Louis' eggs remained in the submerged lair.
Meng Jiuzhao knew in his heart that it was not an egg, but these days, Louis actually hatched the three stones as his own eggs. Now that the "egg" is gone, how sad should Louis be
Feeling flustered, Meng Jiuzhao was brought back to the shore by Louis. He carefully placed Meng Jiuzhao on the ground, and carefully licked off the water on Meng Jiuzhao's body with his tongue. Louis straightened up and began to shake the water droplets on his scales.
He was a little slow to deal with it, the water droplets on the surface of his body had turned into ice beads.
After making sure to shake off all the ice beads on his body, Louis turned around again and looked back at the direction they came from before: the white breeding ground that used to be a flat river has completely disappeared, replaced by azure water.
On the calm surface of the water, there was a corpse of a male Kantas floating at the moment.
He drowned.
Meng Jiuzhao hurriedly asked someone to fish him up, and while trying to rescue him, Meng Jiuzhao found a round egg in his mouth.
No wonder-
Meng Jiuzhao instantly realized the cause of his death.
This Kantas must have returned to save his eggs after being washed away, unfortunately, he wasn't good enough water, nor lucky enough.
However, he finally managed to bring his eggs up.
Alan carefully took the egg out of his mouth, and he looked at Meng Jiuzhao expectantly.
"Take good care of it." Without stopping his behavior, Meng Jiuzhao only said a word to him.
During the annual breeding season, the flood will indeed come, and the females will swim away with the flood every year. Kantas, who has experienced the breeding season, knows that before the water floods the breeding ground, they will take the eggs away, and then go to more Hatch in a safe place. At this time, the climate is warm and there is plenty of food brought by warm ocean currents in the water. It is a good time for the cubs to break their shells.
However, this time the ice and snow melted too early. The flood came when the eggs were just born. The male Kantas were completely unprepared. In this accident, most of the Kantas lost their eggs. . Only Kantas, who is experienced and lives relatively close to the middle, brought his eggs in time.
Kantas, who successfully saved the eggs, began to build a new nest. The newly born eggs are very fragile. Although they look much stronger than other eggs, it still does not mean that they are indestructible, whether it is immersed in water or the ground. The cold ice surface, a little carelessness, may kill the unformed little life in the eggshell.
They want to find enough stones in the fastest time, make a nest, and then put the eggs in it.
Some Kantas are ready to hatch their eggs, while another group can only stand by the water.
They looked around for a long time, and finally, a Kantas started to move.
The tragic death of their companions did not weaken their courage. After carefully observing the location of the breeding ground, some of them began to try to enter the water. If they failed once, they would try a second time. They were constantly busy in the water. The body floated up and down on the water for a long time, but none of the dragons could successfully retrieve the egg.
The area covered by this flood is too long, and the waters are much deeper than expected. Male Kantas were not aquatic dinosaurs after all, and they were not watery enough to support them diving to deeper water bottoms.
Louis is also a member of this group of Kantas. He persisted longer than other Kantas. The other dragons stopped for a while, and he kept getting in and out of the water, no matter how Meng Jiuzhao tried to dissuade him. He didn't come back, until Meng Jiuzhao also jumped into the water to search with him, and then he stopped searching.
The icy sea water meandered and slid down from Louis's head, dripping down his face like two long lines of tears.
At this moment, Louie is not a strong Kantas, he is just a poor new dad who lost his first child.
When the crisis came, between Meng Jiuzhao and Dan, Louis chose Meng Jiuzhao, he would not blame Meng Jiuzhao, he could only blame himself more.
Due to the impression that being the master comes first, Meng Jiuzhao did not experience the joy of hatching eggs with Louis. In his eyes, the "three eggs" that Louis treated like treasures were just stones. The only thing Meng Jiuzhao was a little worried about was: discovering these When the "eggs" couldn't hatch at all, how to appease Louis? He didn't treat the three eggs as cubs, but, unlike him, Louis believed from the bottom of his heart that the three stones were two lives. of eggs. Carefully warming the three little guys with body temperature every day, he even signed his name on the eggshells.
How happy you are when you get it, and how sad you are when you lose it.
At this moment, Meng Jiuzhao instantly synchronized with Louis' grief for losing his egg.
"There will be eggs, and we will have eggs." Holding Louis' head, Meng Jiuzhao murmured to comfort him.
Meng Jiuzhao gently licked his cold cheek.
For them and other Kantas who have lost their eggs, this year's breeding season has come to an early end.
In order to further comfort Louis, Meng Jiuzhao made his own concession—he automatically climbed onto Louis' belly and lay down.
Louis was stunned for a while, and after a long time, he finally regained his energy, carefully grabbed Meng Jiuzhao with his big mouth, held him high to his chest, and rolled him gently.
When you are in a bad mood, roll Abald, no matter how bad you are, you can be cured.
The rolling lasted for a long time, and Louis seemed to be finally satisfied, allowing Meng Jiuzhao to continue lying on his belly, and the two of them cuddled each other quietly, and both fell asleep.
The next morning, Meng Jiuzhao woke up on time at his usual time of waking up. He thought about going to the ice hole to find the little loli, but he quickly realized that there was no little loli, the ice hole must be It was broken long ago, and the little loli must have left with the mermaid army.
Sliding off Louie's belly, he picked up his backpack and decided to try his luck in the water.
As usual, he spread his backpack and threw it into the water, and he was ready to sit and wait for the fish to enter the net.
Unexpectedly, the fish seemed to be very stupid this time. As soon as Meng Jiuzhao put the backpack in, his hands sank obviously, then sank again, and then again.
Something is wrong.
Meng Jiuzhao immediately frowned, without saying a word, he quickly lifted the backpack up from the water, and when he saw the things in the backpack, his eyes widened in surprise—
This is…
At the bottom of the backpack, Meng Jiuzhao saw three eggs with Louis' signature vaguely on the shells, which belonged to their family.
"Yo~ Alice!" Just as Meng Jiuzhao was dumbfounded, a big head suddenly popped out of the water at his feet.
The double fins made huge splashes of water, but it was Alice with her mouth crooked saying good morning to him.
