Chapter 428: Night on the Ice Field

"Predator!" Looking up at the sky, Wang Xu had thought in his eyes.

The Predators are an interesting race, their social deconstruction is similar to that of the Spartans, they have grown up in military camps since childhood, believe that killing is a right given to them by the gods, like to decorate honor with the skulls of other creatures, and are specifically active in the battlefields of the universe, fighting for their employers in the form of mercenaries.

The Antarctic whaling station at the foot is the place where the Predators hold their coming-of-age ceremonies.

Predators usually live to be 200 years old, and they reach adulthood when they are 20 years old, and every adult Predator has to undergo the trial of adulthood.

There are many ways to try things, but the most used is a creature called an alien.

The Predators have built a huge number of pyramids all over the universe, and they have imprisoned the Alien Queen at the lowest level of the pyramids, opening a part of the pyramids every year to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the adult Predator.

If the Predator wins, the pyramid is sealed for a hundred years, and a hundred years later it is activated again.

If the alien wins, the defeated Predator will destroy the civilization on this planet and bury the dead Predator.

A hundred years ago, in 1904, the pyramids in Antarctica were activated once.

And now, in 2004, it's time for the pyramid to start again.

"The Predator's technological ability is not reflected in the movie, and the three Predators who participated in the trial only carried cold weapons when they first appeared, and even the energy weapons were sealed in the pyramid.

However, it is conceivable that the Predators' technology is definitely not bad, otherwise they would not be called cosmic mercenaries, specializing in helping cosmic civilizations wage war.

As for the movie, the Predator's technology is not revealed, it is likely that the Predators who come to Earth are all underage Predators who come to participate in the trial, just like we can't drive planes and tanks to hunt, and they can't drive war ships to participate in the trial, otherwise what is the purpose of the trial.

Perhaps, I can reach out to the Predators and sell them something I don't need in exchange for some equipment I can use. ”

Wang Xu secretly thought that every world has its own value, as long as you can discover them and use them.

The Predator movie is only the tip of the iceberg of this universe, and digging deeper, it may not be less than the world of the man in black.

"Predators believe in the strong and although they are very technologically advanced, they prefer to wear armor and use cold weapons to kill. If I want to hook up with them, I need to have the strength to make them recognize, plus a little bit of luck! ”

Thinking of this, Wang Xu took out a bottle of lucky water from the space ring, and said with a smile: "I'm not short of luck!" ”

Knock knock...

The taste is a little sour, and the lucky water that Slughorn refined this time added too much lemon juice.

Wang Xu casually threw away the bottle, feeling that after going back this time, he must advise Slughorn to develop a strawberry-flavored lucky water, he didn't like lemon juice at all.

"It feels good, but the taste is a little worse!" A bottle of lucky water went down, Wang Xu only felt refreshed, as if he was in his mother's arms.

In the next second, the power of lucky water began to work, and Wang Xu had an intuition in the darkness, that is, he would stay here and not go anywhere, as long as he waited with peace of mind, something good would happen.

Feeling the foreshadowing in the dark, Wang Xu lit a fire and let time slip away around him.

An hour later, it was getting dark, and the wind was howling and snowflakes were falling.

Wang Xu stayed in the whaler's dormitory, drinking the vodka that the whaler had left in the storehouse while roasting his hands over a bonfire.

Just as he was wondering if he could get some barbecue, there was a knock on the door outside.

Knock knock, knock knock!!

The knock on the door was quick, indicating that the person knocking was in a hurry.

Wang Xu raised his head slightly, took vodka and opened the door, but as soon as he opened the door to a small corner, a penguin stuck its head in cutely.

The penguin tilted his head and looked at Wang Xu, who also looked down at him.

Without waiting for the invitation, the penguin twisted its fat body, got under Wang Xu's feet, and went straight under the bed next to the campfire.

Wang Xu looked out, there was a lot of snow outside, and there were few people, and it seemed that it was this penguin who knocked on the door.

Closing the door again, Wang Xu returned to the campfire and sat down, looking at the penguins lying under the bed.

This is supposed to be an emperor penguin, 90 cm tall, with an orange-yellow feather under its neck, a black back and head, and a bright white belly.

Emperor penguins are very intelligent, they usually sense a blizzard in advance and gather together to form a penguin wall, placing the strongest penguins on the outermost part and leaving the females, baby penguins, and old penguins in the middle.

This penguin is not very large-looking, and it is likely that it is not an adult, or is close to an adult.

It was clearly aware of the blizzard, but it didn't know what its purpose was, whether it was to be separated or banished, but instead of looking for its own people, it found this safe haven.

Wang Xu even guessed that this penguin was not the first time to come here to hide from a blizzard, and it was obvious that it had done this before.

"Before I came in, the door was ajar, did you call this place your home?" Wang Xu took a sip of wine and asked the little penguin.

The little penguin tilted his head to look at him, his eyes full of curiosity, and he crawled out from under the bed and sat with him on the fire.

Seeing that the little penguin was not afraid of people, Wang Xu hesitated for a moment and touched its head with his hand.

Before the hand could be touched, the little penguin turned around and pecked, and with his sharp front beak, he came Wang Xu's hand.

Wang Xu retracted his right hand abruptly, looked at the little penguin with a smile, and touched his hand to its head.

Now the little penguin was furious, pecking his hand with his front beak and flapping his wings to show his strength, as if to drive him away.

Wang Xu shook his right hand back and forth in front of him, and the little penguin also ran with his hand with the shaking, and the way he walked with a swing looked very cute.

Swish!!

Suddenly, Wang Xu withdrew his hand, and the little penguin was startled, his steps were crooked, and he fell to the ground roundly.

"Huh!" Wang Xu was amused by it, pressed his hand on the little penguin's belly, and shook his fingers to tickle it.

The little penguin is not very sensitive, because the thick fat accumulated by resisting the cold makes it difficult for it to be as light as a swallow.

Pressed by Wang Xu's hand, the penguin struggled again and again, but couldn't get up.

I want to peck him, but I can't reach the hand on my stomach, so I can only lie on my back on the ground and twist my body, looking like I'm going to be cute with you again.

"I'm staying here, I think something good is going to happen, don't tell me it's you!" Wang Xu teased the little penguin for a while, patted its head and let it go.

The little penguin struggled to stand up, glanced back at Wang Xu, and got under the bed in one go, no matter how Wang Xu called, he couldn't come out.

The wind and snow outside were heavier, the fire in the room swayed, and the charcoal burned with a crackling sound.

While drinking, Wang Xu talked to the little penguin and teased it to come out to play.

The little penguin was unmoved at first, as if it was scared of being bullied by Wang Xu, but after a long time, it was far away from the bonfire under the bed, although it was still warmer than outside, but it was not as comfortable as being around the bonfire, and it still walked out with a little hesitation.

This time, Wang Xu stopped teasing it, one person sat in the north, and a penguin sat in the south, staring at each other.

Antarctica, penguins, are not afraid of people, humans are not natural predators in their eyes, but are a little curious about humans.

When Wang Xu was looking at it, it was also looking at Wang Xu, but Wang Xu was not sure if the penguin was a smart animal and could remember him.

In order to increase this possibility, Wang Xu, who was idle and bored, took some small dried fish from the space ring and tried to communicate with it.

The small dried fish ate seven or eight, and when Wang Xu wanted to feed it, he found that the penguin was unresponsive, and when he looked at it again, it turned out that he was asleep standing up.
