Woke up to be beaten by a killer whale

After getting A Qi's affirmative answer, Yu Yuan decided to say goodbye to Zuoka.

The nights in the Arctic are long, and there is no need to wait until dawn. They can leave in the dark.

"Are you leaving here? I thought you would settle here." Zuoka looked a little disappointed.

Yu Yuan Aqi would not bully him or laugh at his weird thoughts. He thought he could get along with them for a while longer.

"Why are you leaving so soon? Is it because you think the Arctic is not suitable for settlement?"

Zuo Ka wants to know the reason for their leaving, and if possible, he would like to try to get these two new friends to stay:
"If you find food difficult to obtain, I can teach you how to hunt..."

Killer whales have visited here before, but none of them left because of the cold and lack of food.

Yu Yuan shook his head:

"No, we came to Bingyang to see the aurora. Now that we have seen the aurora, we have to leave for the next place."

"Is it just to see the aurora?" Zuo Ka asked in disbelief.

I sighed in my heart that Yu Yuan and A Qi were really weird, even weirder than him.

There are actually killer whales who travel long distances to such a land of ice and snow just to see the aurora.

"Yes, we are traveling to see more scenery that we have not seen before." Yu Yuan explained.

"travel?"

Zuoka tilted his body. Among the killer whales, there are also groups of killer whales that travel all year round, but most of the reasons for their migration are for food.

But Yu Yuan and A Qi just wanted to see the scenery they didn't see.

Unseen scenery...

Zuoka's heart moved. He has been here since he was born. All he saw was the ice and snow, the coniferous forest, and some short flowers and plants. Occasionally, birds would migrate here.

"What's the world like out there, I mean, is it as cold as it is here?"

Zuo Ka couldn’t help but explore:

"Orcas who have been here before once said that there are warmer waters than here and there will be many colorful fish. Is this true?"

Yu Yuan was stunned, not expecting Zuo Ka to be interested in this, so he answered patiently:

"There are indeed colorful fish, colorful corals, schools of salmon, and sea feather stars that look like seaweed..."

Zuoka listened carefully and asked questions from time to time:
"Does it really look like seaweed?"

"Crispy texture?"

"There are little fishes that live in sea anemones!"

……

The process of getting unknown answers is always joyful. Zoka now looks like an immature baby whale, with endless curiosity. The yearning in his eyes is gradually getting thicker, and he keeps asking questions.

Yu Yuandu patiently answered everything and told Zuo Ka in detail what he heard and saw.

When Yu Yuan finished talking about their moose hunting process, Zuoka's nervous eyes finally relaxed and he praised:
"You guys are amazing!"

It turns out that there is another world outside the ice ocean, with so many different things.

He went on to ask:
"Do you want to travel around the world and follow the ocean currents to every corner of the world?" "If we can do it, we plan to do this." Yu Yuan and A Qi looked at each other and said with a smile.

"That should take a long time. It's great. I envy you so much."

Zuo Ka's eyes were full of envy. Yu Yuan and A Qi had family members who understood each other, were considerate of each other, and had common hobbies and goals that they could achieve together.

Yu Yuan thought again and again and looked at A Qi.

Aqi's eyes fell on Zuo Ka, looking up and down. Finally, a smile flashed across his eyes, and his side fins flapped slightly.

So Yu Yuan turned around and invited Zuo Ka:
"Zoka, if you are willing, you can leave Bingyang and embark on the journey with us."

"Leave the ice ocean?" Zuoka was stunned. Doesn't this mean leaving the ice ocean killer whale group?
There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Leaving the group of killer whales was something he had never thought about.

Although there are always companions in the killer whale group who bully him, they are also his family.

He was not yet an adult when his mother left, and his companions in the Ice Ocean pod of killer whales took care of him until he reached adulthood.

If he was in danger, even Korda would find a way to save him.

Do you really want to leave the tribe where you grew up just to see the outside world?
Yu Yuan knew that Zuo Ka needed time to think, so he waited patiently.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zuoka said a little embarrassedly:
"...Sorry, I, I don't have the courage to leave my tribe now."

There is also a killer whale in the Ice Ocean group of killer whales that raised him to adulthood on behalf of his mother. He is now very old.

Even though she was silent when Korda bullied him, Zoka still worried about her.

At least now, he couldn't leave the group of killer whales.

Thinking of this, Zuo Ka felt very disappointed. Like-minded friends, he had such a wonderful opportunity to see the world he had not seen, but he gave up on his own.

In fact, from the tangled look in Zuo Ka's eyes, Yu Yuan had already guessed his answer, so he was not surprised.

However, she wanted to leave new possibilities for Zuoka, so she asked Aqi to guide Zuoka.

Aqi tried his best to use the method to make Zuoka understand:

"Zoka, we return to the same sea area every summer. In the spring, you can reach that sea area by following the migratory birds with black feathers and white spots on their backs. Then you will meet a killer whale named Claire..."

Thinking of Claire's outgoing personality, a smile flashed in Yu Yuan's eyes, and then A Qi said:
"Claire will be happy to see you and he'll take you to eat lots of good food and we'll be back there in the summer."

Zuo Ka was surprised. He didn't expect Yu Yuan's Aqi to give him a chance. The regret and sadness in his heart subsided a lot. His eyes were full of emotion and he responded repeatedly:

"I know, I will definitely remember it!"

After saying goodbye to Zuo Ka, Yu Yuan followed A Qi back the same way. On the way, Yu Yuan asked in confusion:
"Aren't the seabirds we saw gray? Why did Zuoka follow the black and white seabirds?"

There was a smile in A Qi's voice, and she swam side by side with Yu Yuan:
"That kind of bird is gray in autumn and winter, but in spring it will change into a different look, and the colors will be much richer."

He paused, and added:
"It will also taste much better."

Yu Yuan chuckled, A Qi understood her better and better now, and could always find her focus accurately.

The seabird mentioned here refers to the white-billed loon. It is usually gray in winter, but it will grow beautiful feathers in spring.

This kind of bird comes to warm places to breed in spring, but returns to the cold Arctic in winter. It is an extremely rare winter migratory bird!
