Big Islander 2

Chapter 500
It was Tang Jide's first taste of the true arctic scenery, which gave him the feeling that in addition to being magnificent, it is still magnificent.In the distance, there are rolling icebergs, white and crystal clear, standing out from the blue sea. Perhaps, they have been floating on the Arctic continent for hundreds of millions of years, looking so solemn and holy.

Nearby, it is covered with thick ice caps, and between the ice caps, there are winding blue lines, which are the sea water between the ice caps, together outlining a clean world.

Looking around, it took a long time to find the figure of Xiao Xiami. She and her partner were on a large ice sheet a few kilometers away. In this white world, the goal of finding a group of white bears is really not right. too obvious.

Before Tang Jide started to move, Xiaobai let out a roar and rushed towards Xiao Xiami.Here, Xiaobai seems to have returned to his hometown, like a fish in water, like a ghost on the snow.In comparison, the big monster is too eye-catching, in this silver-white ice and snow world, he is so eye-catching.

Da Xing followed suit and ran a few steps, but fell into a squat, rolled and crawled to the front of Xiao Bai, and then fell into the seawater between the ice crevices with a thud.

"Comrade Vasily, I've completely convinced you now. You actually dare to practice winter swimming here. It's very courageous." The pheasant had just poked its head out of the pitcher, and didn't know what happened, thinking that Daxing jumped in voluntarily.

Tang Jide didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly fished up the big star. When the cold wind blew, Comrade Vasili was shivering from the cold, and his clothes were also driven by freezing.There was no other way, Tang Jide had no choice but to stuff it into the pitcher too.One hangs on both sides of the waist, but it doesn't fall at all.

At this time, the Inuit also started hunting with harpoons and fishing nets.They rode several dog sleds and paddled quickly on the ice.It is obvious that these hunters are also very excited at the moment.

Leaping across the ice crevasse, and dragging Xiaobai and the big monster with the cane whip, they also gradually caught up with the large army led by Little Xiami.The location here is a huge ice cap, and the surroundings can't see the edge at all. It is a good battlefield for hunting.Those Inuit people obviously also fell in love with this place, and soon occupied a large area.The situation at this time is also very interesting. The Inuit and the polar bears are actually competing in the same field, and their targets are all poor seals.There is no way, this world is like this, polar bears eat seals, seals eat fish, everything is for survival.

Seeing the black and white Shuangsha yelling and rushing all the way, Xiao Xiami quickly put his fingers on his lips to signal them to be quiet. The figure disappeared from the ice.

Fortunately, Xiaobai is good at water. He struggled to crawl out of the ice hole, shaking his long hair vigorously, and the water droplets flew around, but Xiaobai's body had no trace of water at all.Tang Jide made a false alarm: "Xiaobai, it seems that you are better adapted to the environment here than the polar bear—"

Speaking of polar bears, I saw these guys in groups of three and two, scattered on the ice sheet, dripping so hard that they couldn't see the edge, and the formation was scattered.Each of them is guarding a large or small ice hole, and it seems that they are ready to hunt.

"Big Clumsy Bear can also play sit-and-wait—" The pheasant also looked fresh.But you can't expect polar bears to dive into the sea to catch fish like seals.

Marine animals such as seals and sea lions need to breathe out of their heads from time to time, so the ice holes on the ice sheet are their masterpieces.And what the polar bears have to do is to wait by the ice cave, and when they find the seals outcropping, their big slaps can be used to directly stun or injure the seals, and then they can enjoy a delicious meal.If you eat with your belly open, you don't even need to eat for a few days.

Tang Jide quickly reminded the pheasant not to bark, so as not to disturb the polar bear hunting.That being said, so far, Tang Jide has not seen any polar bear harvesting its prey.

The Inuit quickly figured out the way, and also acted as off-field coaches for the big stupid bears.These big stupid bears were obviously novices, lacking enough patience and technique, most of them walked around the ice cave, making noises from the crushed ice and snow.This is tantamount to making it clear to inform the seals below, who would foolishly show up here?

Under the reminder of the Inuit, Xiao Xiami also realized this problem, so Xiao Xiami became the busiest, and had to guide these big stupid bears repeatedly. Fortunately, she can communicate with animals, otherwise she would not be able to Even if you are exhausted, you will be pissed off by these big stupid bears.

Take the two polar bears next to Tang Jide for example. Although they no longer make any noise, you always poke your head into the ice hole. Your big black nose is like a bright light in the dark. Do you really think the seals are blind?

Brother Datou felt that a seal had already swam under the ice hole just now, and it was estimated that it was about to expose its head to breathe, but it must have found two big stupid bears guarding it, and then ran away.Tang Datou was so anxious that he wanted to make a move to wrap the seal up with a cane whip, but he couldn't help him for a while, and he had to rely on them in the end.

Although this problem was only concluded by the Inuit after long-term observation of polar bear hunting, they still imparted it to these novices selflessly through the little shrimps.Soon, those polar bears became more professional. They were all lying on the ice, covering their noses with their right palms, and paying close attention to the situation inside the ice cave. The scene was quite funny.

Compared with them, the Inuit are more professional. In the area they control, there is a hunter ambushing near every ice cave.Seals always have to show their heads to breathe. If there is no harvest here, they will definitely be able to catch prey there. In short, there will be some harvest, and they will not starve because they run empty.

In winter, seals also like to expose their heads to breathe while basking in the rare sun, but at this time, the seals are also the most alert. For example, those big stupid bears will thump and thump when they see seals out of the ice cave next to them. Run over, and when you get to the front, the seal has long since disappeared.

But hunters are much more professional, they will crawl on the ground and approach their prey quietly.Even if they are spotted by seals looking around, they have a way.Shi Dan'er showed Tang Jide what it means to be a qualified hunter. When he approached a seal basking in the sun, as long as the seal looked towards him, Shi Dan'er would lie on the ice. , raised his neck, raised his legs, and kept wriggling, looking from a distance, like a seal walking on a bright surface.

And the seal had poor eyesight, so it was gradually approached by Shi Dan'er. After reaching a distance of three to five meters, Shi Dan'er suddenly erupted, and the whole figure rushed towards the seal like a swift gust of wind. He raised his fork and stabbed the seal. , Then he lifted it with his front hand and pressed it with his back hand, and he picked out the whole seal from the sea, and threw it heavily on the snow. The deep red blood also stained a large expanse of white snow and ice.The scene is bloody and magnificent, with a bit of violent aesthetics.

Although he couldn't bear the seal, but this is the world of the weak and the strong, so Tang Jide couldn't help but applaud Shi Dan'er for hitting the festival.The surrounding polar bears also smelled the smell of blood, and they wanted to come over to pick up a bargain, but Tang Jide dismissed them unceremoniously: "If you want to eat, go get it yourself!"

The polar bear yelled at Tang Datou a few times, and could only continue to sit on the sidelines in embarrassment. For them, there were still too many things to learn.

Of course, not every hunter hunts like a stone egg, and more people use camouflage to approach the seals quietly, and then strike violently.There are white canvas and white animal skins for camouflage, such as arctic fox fur or polar bear fur.It can be seen from this that the reason why these snow-white big stupid bears are empty-handed is definitely their technical problem.

After all, the hunting scene was a bit bloody, so Tang Jide didn't get involved. He focused more on observing the polar bears.If these big guys can't learn how to hunt, they can only bring them back to Peach Blossom Island. I believe that such a result, neither Tang Jide nor the polar bears, is what they hoped for.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, as time goes by, as technical defects are continuously made up, some polar bears finally begin to reap the rewards.The first one to succeed was a female bear, perhaps to feed the cubs that were waiting to be fed. The brilliance of motherhood stimulated all the potential of this female bear. It successfully wounded a seal and used its sharp claws to pull the prey out of the ice cave. Take it up, and then start to enjoy this hard-won meal.

The polar bears next to them were jealous immediately and wanted to come up to get a share of the action, but this kind of behavior of getting something for nothing, even Xiao Xiami would severely punish them, so these lazy guys did not succeed.

The success of the female bear not only excited Tang Jide, but also seemed to stimulate the other polar bears. In the next hour or so, more than a dozen polar bears succeeded in hunting one after another.

It looks like a lot, but in fact, among the huge population of polar bears, that is one-tenth of the ratio, the vast majority of polar bears have to continue to be hungry.

The sun only showed its face in the south for a while, and then disappeared, and the number of seals on this ice sheet has dropped sharply due to the destruction of the Inuit and seals, and it is becoming more and more difficult to capture.If you want to continue, you have to move the battlefield.

The Inuit accepted it as soon as it was ready, and were ready to return.As for the polar bears, they were left here to spend the long night.Originally, Xiao Xiami planned to feed some fish to the polar bears who hadn’t eaten, but he was stopped by the cruel Tang Datou. He would not be hungry for a few days. If he didn’t learn how to hunt, he would starve to death!

In this way, with the slightest bit of reluctance, Xiami returned to their home.Looking at the igloo in front of her, the little girl quickly put those entanglements behind her, and said she would build one by herself, but filling her stomach first was a big deal.

The smell of meat is already wafting from the resident. In fact, no one wants to eat raw meat in the icy and snowy environment. In the past, they did so out of desperation. Now there is combustible ice as a magical fuel. People also started to burn or grill food.

The newly caught seals have naturally become delicacies on the table.However, after tasting two mouthfuls, the big head really couldn't stand the thick seal oil, but black and white Shuangsha ate his mouth full of oil.

After the meal, people even melt the ice and snow, boil water, and make strong tea.In such a cold environment, it is also a rare enjoyment to drink a sip of hot tea.

Some Inuit even rolled up cigarettes, and the blue smoke dissipated with the bold laughter, dissipating in the long arctic night...
