The arrival of the Dire Bird completely disrupted Song Wen's previous plan, and he kept paying attention to the situation in the sky while walking back.

A few giant petrels were flying towards the distance, and the sound of birdsong around them was much less than usual. I don't know if it was because the arrival of the flamingo made these weak predators take a break.

The snow pit where Song Wen lived was dug out in a low-lying place, and the entrance of the cave was blocked by a huge block of ice. In order to bury the food, Yi also built two huge snowdrifts near the entrance of the cave. If you get closer, you can't see the existence of the hole just from the sky, but you don't have to worry about the ice flamingos will find them in mid-air.

However, the coat color of the ice flamingo is too similar to the ice and snow. If they squat in one place without moving, even those with bad eyesight will not be able to spot them.

But the flamingo's night vision is not good, generally they will not go out at night, and they will find some safe places to spend the night at night, and will not take risks to move around the breeding ground. The reason for leaving was that once all the ice flamingos arrived, it would be difficult for them to leave again.The ice flamingos that feed on the orcs don't have the habit of not eating emperor penguins like the harpies.

You can't escape under the nose of the flamingo during the day, but at night is the best time for them to leave.

The ice flamingo is actually a kind of bird that migrates between the North Sea and the South Land. Only in the short three months of summer will they return to the North Sea through the water-absorbing land of the dragon. They can travel through the dangerous sea every year. It can be seen that their strength is not weak.

It's just that the ice flamingo came back a bit early this year, and Song Wen picked up Yi's egg in the early spring, so he didn't know that Yi was stolen by the ice flamingo last summer. , they were brought to the ice sheet in winter, if it was winter, obviously these flamingos had been guarding nearby for a long time, and they couldn't wait to come back as soon as the weather warmed up.

Song Wen really couldn't understand the habit of the flamingo, which raised orc cubs until they were almost finished, and then started to eat them.

Carefully returning to the snow pit, Yi was still sleeping soundly nestled in a pile of soft bird feathers, Song Wen stepped forward and gently pushed him awake, Yi opened his sleepy eyes, not yet fully conscious, "Song Wen Song?"

Song Wen handed the piece of meat that was going to be given to Ah Man but didn't have time to send it to Yi, "Xiao Ji gets up first to fill his stomach, we are leaving here at night."

"Leave? Isn't Song Song finished grooming yet?" Yi wondered.

Song Wen told Yi in detail what he had just heard from the harpies. Although it didn't take long for Yi to emerge from his shell, once he transformed into an adult, he was already an adult. It was a bit slow, but he was aware of the dangers hidden in it, and those sleepy bugs just now disappeared with Song Wen's words.

"Hey, are you leaving now?" Yi climbed up from the nest, picked up the meat that Song Wen handed over, and began to bite. The cub's size is not good enough to carry food, and Yi is not as hungry as an emperor penguin, and even more so. Fill your belly before leaving.

"Let's talk about it in the dark, Xiaoji will sleep for a while after eating, and I will come back to call you when I want to leave."

Yi paused, "Where is Song Song going?"

"I'll go outside to observe the situation, and we can't leave by ourselves." Song Wen told Yiting the countermeasures he had just thought up on the way. He planned to take a group of emperor penguin cubs to sea together after dark. They will be much safer if they take cover, but before that, he needs to help the cubs moult.

It will take at least a week to wait for the hair to fall off naturally. By then, the surrounding ice will almost melt away. In addition to the giant petrels and skuas that are eyeing around, the flamingos of unknown strength and those who have already The leopard seals that have been guarding under the ice for a whole winter will be the enemy of these emperor penguin cubs. For the emperor penguin cubs, the survival rate will be higher if they enter the water as soon as possible.

"I'll go with Song Song."

"No, your coat color is too conspicuous, and it's easy for the ice flamingos to spot you."

Yi became frustrated, "Why am I not an emperor penguin?"

Song Wen looked at his pitiful appearance, and coaxed him amusedly: "Xiaoji's race has inheritance, and can transform into shape so early, but it is a very powerful race, you see, I can't hunt giant petrels, if not With Xiaoji here, I can't even dig out that humpback whale. If Xiaoji is also an emperor penguin, then we will go hungry together? Xiaoji is so powerful, what does it matter if he is not an emperor penguin?"

Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, and felt that what Song Wen said was reasonable, "I am very powerful, and I can protect Song Song."

"Well, I'll just wait for Xiaoji to protect me."

Song Wen said a few words of comfort, then went outside to steal some meat and brought it in, and while Yi was eating obediently, he went back to the emperor penguin colony for a few laps.

The emperor penguin cubs have no fighting power, and they are not a aggressive race. Even if such a large number of cubs gather together, there will hardly be much friction. Even the few cubs I saw before The fighting between them is nothing more than helping each other to peck the fluff off each other's body.

Song Wen alone can't help so many cubs to peck their feathers, but he still remembers those cubs who often came to fight with Xiaoji. Be smarter. Song Wen observed that every time they were chased away by Wing, the cubs would even imitate Wing's movements. If they were taught to help each other moult, they should be able to leave the breeding ground together tonight.

Those cubs were not difficult to find. One of the cubs had a scar on the waist and abdomen, which was scratched by the hard ice when it fell into the crevice of the iceberg. Even though the wound healed later, that The hair around the scar didn't grow back, Song Wen remembered it clearly.

On the night they came back, because of a blizzard, the cub also protected them from the wind all night.In order to distinguish them easily, Song Wen also named the cub Ahen.

Although the name is a bit casual, the cubs couldn't understand it, so Song Wen and Yi would call it in private.

Ahen is the leader of the cub team. It is very tall and strong. If it is not for the gray fluff on the body that represents the cub, it is almost the same as the adult emperor penguin. They like Moving around the snow pits, Song Wen guessed that this would allow them to find the wings faster to play.

Although Song Wen couldn't tell the difference between these similarly shaped cubs, it was obvious that Ah Hen could recognize Song Wen at a glance.Obviously they are all emperor penguins, so the ability to identify emperor penguins is also very different.

"Oh--"

Ahen walked over flapping his little wings, and the other emperor penguin cubs who had been following him also surrounded him one after another. They surrounded Song Wen in a circle, touching him curiously with their beaks from time to time.

Song Wen also greeted several cubs with the cry of emperor penguins. The cubs could not understand Song Wen's words, but they could understand Song Wen's movements. Song Wen interacted affectionately with the cubs After a while, he stretched out his beak and pecked the fluff on Ahen's body.

Unless you use your small wings to gently smooth down the fluff that is about to fall off like Yiyi did last night, otherwise, if you peck directly, you will actually feel pain. A Hen obviously didn't expect Song Wen to attack him suddenly. Startled, he forgot to react.

The other emperor penguin cubs also stared at Song Wen's movements with wide eyes. They couldn't explain it clearly anyway. After Song Wen spat out the fluff in his mouth, he continued to mouth toward the place where he pecked the fluff just now.

This time Ahen reacted, it screamed and took a few steps back, but Song Wen had already caught the fluff on Ahen's body first, and Ahen stepped back, Song Wen didn't need much effort to grab the fluff It was pecked off.

The other emperor penguin cubs reacted and gathered in front of A Hen. Song Wen couldn't recognize anyone except A Hen, so he stretched out his beak to the nearest emperor penguin cub to help it The fluff that had reached the moulting period was pecked off one by one, revealing the black and white hair that already had the embryonic form of an adult emperor penguin.

The emperor penguin cub was so frightened that it flapped its small wings and hid from other companions, but another cub suffered. These little cubs finally understood that Song Wen wanted to peck the fluff off their bodies.

The cubs who understood it didn't dare to stand in front of their companions anymore, but they didn't know how to escape. They just crowded close together and screamed at Song Wenyang.

The emperor penguins are not fast on land, and the first reaction when they encounter danger is to huddle together. There are so many of them, and only when they gather together can they hope to survive, just like in a cold blizzard, they rely on a single It's just like using each other's body temperature to warm each other.If they are spread out, they are more likely to be poisoned by predators.

The movement here attracted the attention of other emperor penguin cubs around, they gathered together curiously, watching a thin emperor penguin cub trembling and shaking the other emperor penguin cubs.

Song Wen's head was full of black lines, and he felt as if he had become a bad guy who bullied the cubs.

But no matter how pitifully Ahen and the others are, Song Wen is not at all soft-hearted. Being able to go to sea one day earlier will have a higher chance of survival for Ahen. If it keeps dragging on, Song Wen is really worried about the emperor penguins born this year. The cubs will be kept in captivity by the ice flamingos in the breeding grounds to become food reserves.

Thanks to the fact that they were separated from the place where the harpies were trapped by more than half of the breeding ground, even the terrified cries of the cubs could not be heard there. Song Wen flapped his little wings, as if turning into a The ruthless eagle rushed towards a pile of shivering chicks.

The dusty fluff fell to the ground and was fanned into the air by the actions of the cubs. After being attacked twice by Song Wen from the beginning, Ahen hid wittily in the middle of the team. It was taller than the other cubs. He needs to be tall so that he can easily see Song Wen's movements.

After finding out that Song Wen didn't mean to hurt them, but simply pecked off the fluff on their bodies, Ah Hen's black bean-like eyes flashed a moment of thought. After thinking about it, he lowered his head and looked at the cub closest to him. After pecking it down, the cub gave him a look of disbelief.
