Chen Song subconsciously turned around to look, and in the violent snowstorm, several huge figures faintly appeared not far away.

They remained motionless, huddled together like ice and snow giants.

The snow was so strong that it affected people's vision and hearing so badly that they didn't notice until the beasts were already close to their cars.

Greenland is not Iceland, there are many wild animals here, and the most feared are polar bears.

Not all polar bears are obedient and greedy fat babies like Brother Bai, they are more grumpy top hunters.

The beasts that appear are huge and snow-white, which is one of the reasons why the big guys don't spot them in time.

From the outside, they are likely to be polar bears, which makes the people in the car terrified.

Encountering a polar bear in a snowstorm is the most unfortunate thing, and other times it is better to say that polar bears do not attack cars that look stronger than themselves for no reason.

But in a blizzard it's different, where polar bears can be manic, and they'll find ways to overturn cars to get shelter.

Fortunately, Chen Song's outstanding eyesight helped him stabilize his mood at this moment, and the few big guys who appeared were walking slowly against the wind, they were all snow-white, but when he walked, he could find that the hair exposed by their limbs was brown and black.

This is not a polar bear, there are no brown bears in Greenland's bear family, and the animal that fits this size and coat color is the musk ox, an ancient creature that has lived on Earth for 600,000 years.

Musk oxen have been stocked from the Ice Age to the 21st century, and they are behemoths at the same time as mammoths and tusks.

However, despite their large size, musk oxen have a gentle temperament, they look a bit like wild yaks in China, weighing four or five hundred kilograms, with long hair, and a thick and strong body, which can withstand snowstorms in Greenland and even the Arctic.

Chen Song relieved himself and returned to the car, the white brother in the car was still lying on the glass and roaring vigorously, and it was when he heard its cry that these musk oxen did not leave.

Musk oxen have a characteristic, when the herd feels threatened, they do not run around like bison, but gather together in a circle to face their opponents, protecting the young musk ox and the old and weak cows in the center of the circle, and facing the opponent with big horns.

Both male and female, musk oxen have horns.

This trick is useful against their natural predators such as polar bears and arctic wolves, but it is self-defeating against humans:

Originally, musk oxen lived in Alaska in addition to Greenland and the Arctic, and when American cowboys went to Alaska to hunt wild beasts with firearms, the musk ox's nature of not retreating when encountering enemies but gathering in circles became a way to help cold-blooded cowboys increase their killing efficiency.

Alaska's musk oxen were eventually slaughtered and exterminated by cowboys, and the U.S. Congress imported some musk oxen from Greenland, so that there are still traces of musk oxen in Alaska today.

However, due to the destruction of the habitat, the number of musk oxen is decreasing, and now there are only 7,000 heads.

Chen Song pulled the car door back into the car, and then pressed Brother Bai's head down, and he said through the walkie-talkie: "It's okay, everyone, it's not a polar bear, it's a musk cow, they are an arctic musk cow." ”

"Are you sure?" said Portis's shuddering voice.

Chen Song said: "I can be sure." ”

Eric was overjoyed: "This is awesome guys, God has not abandoned us, the musk herd will eventually find a place to take shelter from the wind, they are the masters here, we follow them to find a place to shelter from the wind!"

Without the shock of Brother Bai's cry, the herd slowly moved and walked steadily against the wind and snow.

The musk oxen walk very slowly, so even if the view is not good, the convoy still follows them and will not lose it.

At first, the convoy chasing the musk oxen was an option to avoid the wind, but over time it became the only option.

The storm was so violent and long-lasting that they had to put their hopes in the musk herd, or it would be fatal to wait until night when their energy reserves ran out and the snow continued.

Luckily, Eric was right, the musk oxen were indeed looking for shelter from the wind, and they found a hill that jutted out of the ground, and the musk oxen disappeared as soon as they got close to the hill, and the convoy turned on its headlights to shine and found a cave opening from the cliff.

Delighted by the discovery, they parked their cars together to ward off the wind erosion, then packed their bags and dragged their sleeping bags out of the car into the cliff cave.

The hill that the musk oxen found was quite large, and the cave was quite large, and when they turned on their flashlights to shine inside, the musk oxen who had just laid down suddenly stood up, and then gathered together and bowed their heads to show them the horns.

Eric turned off his flashlight and pressed his hands down and said, "OK, OK, guys, listen to me, we are Icelanders, not American sons of bitches, do you know what I mean? ”

The herd did not understand this, and continued to show their horns with their heads down.

The grumpy couch suddenly grinned again: what nonsense, how many of them are there?

Brother Dao: Five or six.

Sofa: Let's do it for a dozen!

Brother Dao hurriedly pressed its head with his paws again: Don't be stupid, my cubs, they are small in number but big in size, one of them is more than a dozen!

Chen Song guessed that these musk oxen were afraid of Brother Bai, so he put his sleeping bag on Brother Bai and walked in with it against the cliff and rock, avoiding the herd of musk oxen.

Musk oxen generally do not take the initiative to attack, and the two sides are safe.

There is no combustible material in the cave, and the big guys can only huddle together to keep warm.

Brother Bai and Brother Dao have become sought-after goods, Suriname wanted to put his hand between Brother Bai's legs to keep warm, but as soon as he put his hand in, he screamed:

A bird's head came out, and Bogo's first hand had already gotten in, and Suriname's hand was pecked by it.

Chen Song went to the car again to get the electric heater, and when he left the deserted village, Eric took people to fill it with electricity, and his sufficient preparation helped the team at this moment, and as the electric heater was turned on, everyone felt that they had finally returned to the world.

Eric rubbed his hands in front of the electric heater and said, "This is not going to work, there must be a fire, we have to boil some hot coffee to drink, and we have to get some warm water for these cows, I promised them." ”

"How can we have so much water? How many cows are there? One, two, three, four, five, six. Portis said helplessly.

Chen Song tilted his ears and said, "There are more than six, it seems that there are cows in this cave?" ”

"Impossible. Eric said.

They listened together, but there was a strange sound intermittently: "Whoop, whoa, whoa......"
