Big Islander 2

Chapter 494 The Siren's Song

Bering Strait, the nearest place, the width of the sea surface is only more than 80 kilometers, connecting the two continents of Europe and America.During the Ice Age, peoples from the north of the Eurasian continent immigrated to America on the ice of the Bering Strait.For example, the Inuit and Indians, they all completed the Great Migration in this way.

Tang Jide and the others are now only a few kilometers away from the American islands in the east, so in order to test the polar bear's long-distance swimming ability, this kind of training must be carried out.

Because in the sea water of the Arctic Ocean, polar bears may not be able to find an ice cover to live within a few hours. If they do not have a strong swimming ability, they will eventually die in the cold seabed.

I saw Brother Big Head waving his rattan whip, and he stepped on a piece of ice floe, surfing - don't look at the sea water here is mixed with ice and water, but there are still tenacious algae living, so Brother Big Head With ease.

During the dance, the rattan whip drove the polar bears off the ice floe; in front, the little shrimp was also leading the way.Behind her, hundreds of white bears struggled forward.Their thick soles are like oars, cleaving the waves and closely following the little shrimp's footsteps.Swim to the shore of victory.

The first ones to fall behind were of course the bear cubs, who had limited physical strength and hadn't even learned how to swim.Whenever he finds bear cubs who are lagging behind, Tang Jide rolls them up with a rattan whip and hands them to the following boat.For these bear cubs, the requirements don't have to be too high, as long as they grow up in the Arctic environment, they will definitely grow into a qualified polar bear.

As for the remaining adult white bears, they don’t have the treatment of taking a boat. They dive for a while, and show their white brains for a while. Some of them even found fish in the sea during the dive, mostly salmon. And cod, also trying to catch fish.After tossing for so long, the consumption is really not small.

However, it is not so difficult to catch fish in the sea. Although polar bears are very flexible in the water, fish are more flexible.Unless you encounter large-scale and dense schools of fish, you can stun one or two dead mice, and the rest will be futile.

Tang Jide watched and shook his head: "No way, these bears can't even catch fish, why don't they wait to starve to death?"

The little shrimp in front turned around and responded: "Uncle Datou, the main food of polar bears is seals. Even if they are fishing, they can't catch fish in such an open sea. Your requirements are too high."

"Hey, I'm just looking anxious—" Tang Jide flicked his whip, and threw a half-sized bear into the boat.As for the adult white bears, it was within Big Brother's permission to rest occasionally on the ice floes as they moved forward.

Needless to say, these big white bears were lazier than the other on Peach Blossom Island, but their stamina was surprisingly good here. Most of them insisted on swimming to the shore, and then lay down on the yellowed moss to recover their strength.In the end only a few were allowed to take the boat as they were about to sink.But instead of getting into the boat, they hugged the thick cables with their claws and dragged them all the way to the shore.

Brother Big Head expressed his satisfaction with the results of this training, which also gave him and Xiao Xiami a little more confidence in the future of these big white bears.

When the big bears were resting, the bear cubs could no longer bear the loneliness and began to explore this new world.The ground on the island is mostly rocky, which is a typical tundra landform. There are no tall plants at all, only a layer of moss is covered on the ground.And in this season, they are all dead.In some low-lying places, ice and snow have begun to accumulate, adding a series of white scenery to the earth.

The little bears happily rushed towards the seabirds gathered on the island. The seabirds were very courageous. They waited until the clumsy little bears rushed to them before they flapped their wings and flew away. They quickly circled to a nearby place and continued to enjoy the sunshine the warmth.

On the contrary, many big bears saw the cheapness and wanted to hunt seabirds; but the seabirds were very thieves. Although these big white bears who had just arrived, they could not catch even a feather ——Digestion, seabirds basically pick up food behind the beasts from the moment they come out of the nest, are you afraid of you newbies, big silly bears?

There are also a few big pyrenes lying on the edge of the water stupidly, sticking their front paws into the water to catch fish.Of course, unless those fish are stupider than them, they must have empty paws.

But there are also some harvests. There are many clams living in the shallow seabed by the sea. A female bear caught a big clam, but she has never eaten this stuff, so she is a little bit helpless.In the end, he slapped it with his big paws to break the hard shell on the outside and suck the juicy meat inside.

When the other great pyrenes saw it, they all followed suit, and all jumped into the sea, pouted and fishing for clams.It can't be seen that their learning ability is quite strong.

In fact, this is also where Xiao Xiami's confidence lies. After all, these big white bears have been transformed by her with the essence of life. Whether it is body or mind, they must be better than the same kind.

In order to compete for food, some bad-tempered great pyrenes started to fight.In fact, polar bears do not live in groups. Unless a female bear is leading a cub, you will never see a few polar bears getting together.They are all lone rangers on the Arctic glaciers.

Tang Jide also didn't expect that these polar bears could hunt for food by themselves, and the frozen food on the ship would not need to be distributed. After entering the northern frigid zone, the octopus army would no longer accompany them. After all, they are tropical and temperate marine creatures.Fortunately, in the days before, the octopus soldiers helped catch a lot of fresh fish, all of which were frozen, so there was no need to worry about the food problem of the great pyrenes.

Seeing those polar bears enjoying a big meal, Tang Jide also patted his stomach. He was also busy with his work and was hungry.But now that we are on the island, we will no longer go back to the boat for meals. Instead, we will directly set up the stove on the rocks, and use flammable ice to cook things directly. It will be a picnic.

As for the food, of course, they use local materials and jump directly into the sea to catch fish.Because of the strait, the sea here is relatively shallow, basically 50 meters deep.However, the fish in the water is relatively rich, and groups of salmon and cod swim past Tang Jide's eyes, making people a little dazzled.

Tang Jide went ashore contentedly with a few salmon caught with a cane whip, ready to braise them in soy sauce.As a result, just two steps away, a little white bear hugged her thigh, and there was a female bear shaking her head beside her.

This trick again——obviously, the little white bear hugged the wrong thigh, and the big-headed brother ruthlessly threw it aside. A salmon was thrown to the she-bear.

Seeing the salmon in Tang Jide's hand, Shidan'er was also very excited. He took out the knife, scraped the scales and opened it, then cut the pink fish into pieces, dipped it in some salt noodles, and ate it directly.

No wonder you are called "Eskimos" and you like to eat raw meat—although Tang Jide doesn't agree with Shi Dan'er's way of eating, he doesn't stop him. Standards to ask others.So he still carefully cooked a pot of braised salmon, and then greeted Xiao Xiami and the others for dinner.

In the end, a large group of white bears were attracted, and they also wanted to come over to have fun, and the big brother was so angry that he kicked them one by one, but the big white bears were fat and strong, basically it was equivalent to tickling them.

"Where are Da Xing and Xiao Bai?" Tang Jide saw Da Xing and Black and White Shuangsha also went to the island just now, and even the pheasant, a frozen ghost, was shivering and being hugged by the big monster. Why didn't they disappear this time? shadowed.

Xiao Xiami was also busy managing these big white bears just now, but saw them go to the inner side of the island, so he let out a long and clear voice, and the sound went straight into the sky, and it was estimated that even people from ten miles away could hear it.

"Eat first, it will cool down later." Tang Jide picked up a large piece of fish, and the heat was just right. The salmon itself was relatively chewy, and with the effect of the seasoning, there was no fishy smell, and only the mouthful was left. delicious.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Brother Datou finally came back to his senses: "These guys are not committing the old problem again, this is freezing, if it falls into a hole in the ice, it will break!"

With the pissing nature of the second general Humha, he basically disappeared wherever he went.And the black and white Shuangsha are stupid, they can only be trafficked.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a very strange voice drifting over with the sea breeze. The voice was ethereal and distant, like a song, but I couldn't understand the lyrics, and I didn't know what it meant.

Big Brother’s chopsticks also stopped in mid-air. The singing was so weird, intermittent, as if it came from the sky, and it seemed to come from the sea. During the period, there were strange sounds like crying of a baby, a woman crying, etc. It was like calling a soul, and Big Tou Ge got goosebumps when he heard it.

I don't know when, thick fog rose again on the sea, and the sky and the earth were covered with white, only the singing was floating, which made people's hearts chill.

No matter how good his appetite was, Tang Jide couldn't take it anymore. He put down his chopsticks and listened intently, trying to find the source of the singing.What is certain is that the singing came from the sea, but the position was erratic, as if it was from a ghost floating on the sea.

"There can't be a sea monster, right?" Brother Big Tou scratched the back of his head vigorously, joking with Little Xiami.In ancient Greek mythology, the sea monsters seduced the crew with their irresistible singing, which eventually led to the destruction of the ship. Even the hero Odysseus could not resist.Could it be that the Kraken has also come to the Arctic Ocean?

Little Xiami didn't pay attention to Uncle Datou, as if she didn't hear what Uncle Datou was saying at all, she just stared at the sea with a pair of big eyes, then stood up with an extremely intoxicated expression, and walked towards the sea covered with thick fog——

Could it be that he was really charmed? It shouldn’t be. If he was really charmed, it should be me, a big man——Tang Jide’s mind was a little dazed. The sea water has reached her knees.

Damn it——Tang Jide slapped his thigh vigorously, then threw out the rattan whip, preparing to tie the little shrimp back.He felt that the little girl's current situation was a bit wrong, and she looked like she had thrown herself into the sea.

However, Little Xiami suddenly twisted his body, dodged the rattan whip, and then he swam into the sea like a mermaid, and disappeared in the dense fog in the blink of an eye.

Do not!Tang Jide roared and jumped into the sea.On the contrary, Shidan'er was sitting at the stone dining table, eating large chunks of braised salmon, and talking to himself from time to time: "It seems to taste good—but why didn't Datou eat— —Well, I must have heard the singing of the white whale, and I am going to catch a big white whale—”
