Hui was not too surprised at Alice's miraculous portable space. For a native Kantas like him, every creature has its own uniqueness. It is only natural that this female Kantas has such a pouch things. In such a critical time, the cubs can have such a safe escape method, and they are full of gratitude in frustration.
His cub is also among the transferred cubs. He is not the strongest among the cubs. Hui always feels unsafe if he is transferred by other methods. Now that he has Alice, he can finally feel at ease .
Watching her cubs off until his small figure disappeared into Alice's mouth, Alice thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, if I can come back, I will definitely catch a hundred of your favorite fish and give them to you." you eat."
It is a traditional way for Kantas to show their gratitude by giving the food they catch to others.
"~(≧▽≦)/~yo!" Even if she can't understand every word, Alice basically understands what the gray words mean. Being thanked is a very novel experience, and Alice can't help but feel like She jumped up, but she quickly thought of the cub in her pouch, stabilized her body, and she gave a dignified chirp (← this is imitating the language of the Kantas male cub).
Alice only cares about being happy, but Meng Jiuzhao is sensitive to the hidden meaning in the nonsense.
"What's the matter, you won't go with us?"
Hui nodded: "With this female cub here, you can reach that ice field safely. I want to go back and fight against the invaders with Gulunsa and the others. The cubs will entrust you."
Hui's tone was normal, as if he was just going back to take a look, and it was no different from usual, but Meng Jiuzhao was stunned.
Meng Jiuzhao looked deeply at the man in front of him. After the fight just now, Hui was already covered in bruises. Joining the battle in this state, he could be said to be in danger. Hui himself knew this too, from what he said just now. He obviously didn't have to go, and it would be safer for him to leave here with the cubs.
Like Gu Lunsa and the others who stayed behind to resist the invaders, Hui probably didn't think so much at all, right
Knowing that the result may not be good but still insisting on doing it is not a manifestation of stupidity and overreach, but a kind of bravery that can only be possessed in a primitive and pure state.
Meng Jiuzhao felt that he knew the race of Kantas again.
"You go! Leave the cubs to me, don't worry." Without talking nonsense, Meng Jiuzhao just patted his chest.
Smiling at each other, they parted ways.
Hui resolutely returned to his companions, swearing to the death to defend the safety of the breeding ground and the cubs, while Meng Jiuzhao took all the cubs in the breeding ground and embarked on an unknown journey.
Meng Jiuzhao didn't go into Alice's pouch. The space there was limited after all. The cubs were already heavy. He didn't want to add a heavier burden to this loli. He chose to sit on Alice's back.
In order to prevent Meng Jiuzhao from being wet by the cold sea water, Alice tried her best to expose as much of her body as possible on the water, but buoyancy is limited after all, and the waves are also unpredictable. It didn't take long for Meng Jiuzhao's clothes to get wet up. Louis took good care of him along the way, and the harshness of the world didn't hurt him too much. To be honest, he didn't really feel the coldness of this ice field until today.
Did Louis and the others go back
Gulunsa, are they... still alive
Even if they are all alive, will they be able to find themselves
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, Meng Jiuzhao clenched his fists tightly.
In the end, it was the water droplets on the back of his hand that woke him up from his thoughts. At first Meng Jiuzhao thought it was the sea water splashed up from below, but the icy coldness on his face told him otherwise. He wiped his face, only to realize that he had burst into tears at some point.
From Alice's growing mouth, he heard the delicate chirping of the cubs.
It was clearly the same soft and tender voice, but Meng Jiuzhao immediately recognized which voice was from George.
Probably because I was too deep in my thoughts, I didn't say anything for a long time, and the cubs were also anxious. Don't think that the cubs don't understand anything when they are young. On the contrary, because they are too weak and cannot understand the language of adults, they are better than anyone at the skill of "seeing through the hearts of others". Every action of the adults will affect the emotions of the cubs. It can be said that the cubs are the mirror of the adults. If the adults are going well, they will be carefree;
He was very glad that he wasn't hiding in Alice's pouch with the cubs, otherwise his expression would have been revealing.
"It's okay, Sister Alice... I want to take us to another ice field. Let's see if there is any other food... I can take it back to your father." Trying not to let his voice tremble, Meng Jiuzhao spoke softly to the cubs. said loudly.
He kept talking to them, and Meng Jiuzhao told them stories. Although the little guys obviously couldn't understand the meaning of his words, but in a strange place, any sound made by an adult was very important to these little guys. The comfort that can be relied on, finally, during Meng Jiuzhao's constant narration, the chirping of the cubs became lively again.
Chirp Chirp Chirp~
They spoke to Meng Jiuzhao in a language that only they could understand. Later, Meng Jiuzhao was no longer needed to continue speaking, and they "speaked" happily.
Meng Jiuzhao finally had time to rest his throat.
In the process of talking to the cubs, not only the young cubs were comforted, but also himself.
The flustered heart softened in the soft little voices of the Fat Chirps, and slowly melted into a ball of fire, scorching his entire chest, and finally smelted into iron, which was tempered into steel in the chest, Meng Jiuzhao's The heart becomes extremely strong!
Without looking back, Meng Jiuzhao's gaze was fixed on the front. He didn't know how many kilometers behind him the breeding ground where Louis and his friends lived. He only knew that the glacier that Alice had mentioned to him—
It's almost here!
Ahead, something other than the white ice and the blue sea finally appeared.
This was originally an exciting event, but the moment Meng Jiuzhao saw it clearly, Meng Jiuzhao's expression became extremely strange.
At the same time, Alice also stopped.
It's not that she doesn't want to move on, it's that she bumped into something.
Alice, who has been swimming with her mouth open most of the time in order to keep the air in her pouch open for a long time, finally lowered her palate, and she could see the scene ahead clearly after she lowered it.
"Yo!!!!!!" In surprise, Alice's eyes couldn't help but widen.
An adult Kantas! The one who met her in the sea turned out to be an adult Kantas!
If this is a female Kantas, it’s fine. Female Kantas originally lived in the sea, so it’s not surprising to meet in the sea. However, this Kantas is floating in the water with its mouth open upwards. Tas is male!
Male Kantas have the habit of diving and fishing, but absolutely not the habit of floating in ice water! Although they are able to endure hardship and dare to endure hardship, it does not mean that they like to ask for trouble. The sea water around the breeding ground is extremely cold. Even if the male Kantas has thick skin and thick flesh, entering the water is still a torture for them. Most male Kantas will only go into the water when they are hunting, and they will go ashore as soon as they catch the fish. They will never waste a single bit of energy in the ice water (←So Louis who has to take a bath after catching fish is definitely an exception= =///).
Given this premise, it's no wonder Meng Jiuzhao was taken aback.
Meng Jiuzhao thought it was a corpse at first, but the white breath coming out of the opponent's nostrils quickly proved that he was still alive!
"Alice, step back!" Meng Jiuzhao yelled immediately, no matter what happened.
Alice was startled by his roar, and obediently stepped back several meters. However, the male Kantas who was faster than Alice actually turned his head back.
Meng Jiuzhao's current expression looked terrified enough, but that Kantas' expression was even more terrified than him. Seeing Alice and Meng Jiuzhao was like seeing a ghost, and he almost yelled.
As a result, the already weird Kantas looked even weirder.
Not daring to act rashly, the two sides remained in a stalemate for several minutes. Finally, Meng Jiuzhao plucked up the courage to jump into the water. Under the piercing glacier water, he was stunned the moment he saw clearly the scene under the water.
He finally understood what was going on with this dragon!
Because the sea water was too cold, Meng Jiuzhao didn't look much underwater, but just a glimpse was enough to make him unforgettable——
This Kantas is actually standing on an ice field! There is a large ice field! now! Right at the feet of this male Kantas! Meng Jiuzhao was very familiar with the densely packed and crude buildings on the ice sheet: it was the nest where the Kantas on the breeding ground hatched their eggs!
However, unlike his dry nest on the breeding ground, the nests here are all submerged underwater.
Meng Jiuzhao immediately understood what happened here:
Like the ice field where I am, this ice field must also be the breeding ground where a group of male Kantas finally arrived. The group of Kantas captured their own females on this ice field and gave birth to their eggs. They built a nest for the eggs to hatch, and...
It suffered the same disaster as the breeding place where they lived, no... The disaster they encountered was even more terrifying. The altitude of this ice field was lower, and the submerged area was larger. A great deal of water surged up, flooding their love nest with the female Kantas, and eventually, their nursery as well.
Meng Jiuzhao quickly thought of the group of male Kantas who invaded his breeding ground to snatch their cubs.
Was it because his eggs were all submerged, so he went to the nearby breeding ground to snatch the cubs
Do not! wrong!
If it was to snatch the cubs, why did only one Kantas catch up with him and Hui in the end? Where are the other Kantas? Why didn't you come over? Their number is several times the number of people left behind in their own breeding grounds. It is very easy to go past Gu Lunsa and loot the cubs, but they didn't come...
Also, why is there a Kantas left here
Obviously, the breeding ground and the nest were flooded together, wasn't it? For Kantas, without eggs, there is no need to stay in the breeding ground...
and many more-
If it is said that "no more eggs = you can leave the breeding ground", how about expanding this equation in reverse
Did not leave the place of reproduction=
Meng Jiuzhao's eyes widened suddenly.
Without leaving the breeding ground, there is only one answer at the other end of the equal sign!
There is only one reason why this Kantas has not left this flooded breeding ground: he has not lost his eggs! This Kantas egg is in his mouth at the moment!
When he deduced this equation in his mind, Meng Jiuzhao immediately urged Alice to swim in the direction of the Kantas. Regardless of the opponent's dodge, he stood on tiptoe and looked into the opponent's big mouth. The moment he saw the scene inside, He was stunned—
In the mouth of that Kantas, he saw a lot of big white eggs!
There is only one reason why this Kantas stood in the icy sea and did not dare to move, and did not dare to close its mouth—to protect the egg in its mouth.
