Chapter 1 First Predation
It was another journey that didn't know where it ended, and Li Yiheng couldn't remember how long he had been sailing on the sea, although he would insist on writing a logbook at first, but after a long time, like a child who was too lazy to do his homework, he would record some trivial things such as all kinds of fish encountered at sea, the weather, and what his mood was today.

A flock of boobies hovered over the calm sea, surrounding the boat on which Li Yiheng was riding.
A few boobies landed unscrupulously on the side of the ship, flapping their wings proudly, as if to show off their toned and smooth figures.
The noisy bird call woke up Li Yiheng, who was lying on the deck basking in the sun, Li Yiheng sat up, rubbed his eyes, and saw a bulging colored balloon floating in front of him in a daze, and there seemed to be two small wings on both sides of the balloon flickering up and down.
"Something, I don't remember there were balloons on board. ”
Li Yiheng pondered, rubbed his eyes again, and looked fixedly.
It didn't matter what I saw, and suddenly most of my sleepiness dissipated: I saw Xiao Ji with a bulging belly, his mouth closed, his whole head almost sinking into his body, his legs only showing his paws, desperately flapping his wings that were extremely incongruous with his body, and flying towards the boobies that landed on the side of the boat next to him.
"Hey, Xiaoji, you're really not simple, and you still have this function?"
“......”
"Why don't you make a sound?, are you afraid of air leakage?!"
Xiao Ji ignored Li Yiheng's ridicule, and flew straight to the nearby boobies, constantly shaking his body into a ball, trying to attract the attention of the boobies, after all, he was surprised to see the same species with wings and so much bigger than himself.
But Xiao Ji seems to be a little arrogant, and he doesn't want to be compared in front of those behemoths, so Xiao Ji came up with such a way to increase his self-confidence, although the result of this method seems very funny to Li Yiheng.
The boobies looked at the little one, which was only the size of his own head, as if he was thinking, tilting his head and making a low "purr" sound, obviously not knowing what kind of creature was floating in front of him.
Seeing that the boobies didn't react, Xiao Ji shook up to the other boobies next to him, trying to get his attention with the same action.
Li Yiheng looked at the fat boobies in front of Xiao Ji, but his stomach also made a "grunt" sound, this sound is the call of the stomach, the awakening of the long-sleeping 'hungry demon' in the body, it is about to act!
Immediately afterwards, Li Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly felt that what was standing in front of him was not a bird, but a roast chicken that was steaming all over his body and exuding the aroma of meat.
"After so many days at sea, eating canned and frozen meat every day, today I have to catch a live bird and taste the taste of fresh meat no matter what. Li Yiheng has already made up his mind to pay attention.
He supported the deck below him with both hands, quietly got up, bent his waist, and put on an extremely ugly posture of catching chickens, approaching the boobies in front of Xiao Ji, and the hands stretched out in front of him were ready to attack at any time.
"It's a great opportunity to catch your attention right in front of you, and with my usual agility, it's not easy to catch a birdie. Li Yiheng is full of confidence.
However, just as Li Yiheng was about to approach the prey in front of him, the flock of birds hovering over the ship suddenly became commotion, and the boobies in front of Xiao Ji also rose up and flew high into the air.
The boobies' waving wings brought up the air flow around the body, forming a faint whirlwind, drilling into the soybean-sized nostrils of Xiao Ding, Xiao Ji suddenly felt a strange itch in his nose, and could no longer hold back, accompanied by a "chirp", Xiao Ji was like a leaky balloon, spinning and rushing into the air of the birds.
Li Yiheng's reaction was also very fast, at the moment when the boobies soared, an arrow rushed up, but only tore off a few feathers on the boobies' tail, and his hands like grappling hooks still maintained the posture of capturing, Li Yiheng stood beside the side of the boat, looking at the back of the boobies flying away, and shouted in despair: "My chicken!
The little one, who had already vomited the air in his belly, returned to his original size, and quickly stabilized his body in the flock of birds, so as not to be hit by the passing boobies.
Xiao Ji saw that he was in the middle of the flock of birds, and many boobies were shuttling back and forth around him, and he was very excited, and the cries of the birds one after another also provoked Xiao Ji to suddenly have a sense of belonging, and proudly flapped his wings, trying to make the same thick call as the boobies, but his mouth opened, and it was still a childish scream: "Chick, chirp, chirp." Then it was immediately drowned out by the roar of the flock of boobies.
Li Yi looked at the sky and tried to find Xiao Ji's figure: "Little Ben, come back quickly, it's not safe up there." ”
However, Li Yiheng's vision was always disturbed and obscured by the boobies shuttling back and forth, and Xiao Ji still chased the boobies around him with his own care, imitating their flying posture, not realizing that Li Yiheng was worried about it.
After a flock of boobies circled in the air in an organized and purposeful manner for a while, there was a scene that shocked Li Yiheng: each boobies turned around and dived downward, and after an appropriate distance above the sea surface, they tightened their wings, their heads downward, and the speed was as fast as an arrow off the string, rushing to the bottom of the water, and then resurfaced, and then an extra fish appeared on the scissor-like beak.
Li Yiheng looked at the huge black shadow that appeared under the seawater, moving rapidly in the water. Li Yiheng realized that these boobies were chasing the fish to come here, and had been hovering over the boat waiting for an opportunity, which is a unique group predation technique of boobies, but not every boobies can catch fish accurately, and those boobies that flutter in the air can only fly into the air again and continue to dive and hunt.
The huge schools of fish move back and forth under the water to avoid the "bombs" from the air, and the fish that are closer to the surface of the sea will turn out of the water, which gives many boobies that are still floating on the water and have time to leave in the future A good opportunity to peck one at a time.
Li Yiheng admired the splash of boobies after rushing into the sea: the action of a boobies swooping down to hunt will not attract special attention, just like the weak side of the war only one soldier rushes to the enemy's fortress with an explosive bag on his back, not only will it not attract the attention of the enemy, but even in the eyes of the enemy, such an act is stupid and funny, but if all the soldiers rush towards the enemy with the explosives bag, it will cause a huge psychological impact on the enemy.
Hundreds of boobies shot into the sea like torpedoes, and the visual and psychological impact on Li Yiheng is self-evident, although these will be staged at any time in nature, but it is really an eye-opener for the fledgling Li Yiheng.
Xiao Ji saw his companions rushing to the surface of the sea in the same posture one by one, and the animal's natural imitative instinct was also revealed, and it also accelerated towards the surface of the sea after learning the movements of the boobies.
Li Yiheng saw that the swooping birds were mixed with Xiao Ji's young figure, and he was deeply anxious about Xiao Ji's IQ, leaning on the side of the boat and shouting at Xiao Ji: "Xiao Ji, stop, you will be eaten." ”
People who are immersed in happiness tend to ignore the existence of danger, and this sentence is very suitable for Xiao Ji, who is feeling the joy of meeting the same kind and the passion of group predation, and his ears automatically block Li Yiheng's shout, with a serious look, plunged into the sea.
The moment it entered the sea, Xiao Ji turned into a fish, and now it noticed that it had changed from a hunter to a prey, and immediately swam to the surface, but at this time, a boobies in the air had locked on Xiao Ji, and rushed down, now it is up to us to see which side can reach the sea first!
In terms of speed, the boobies are superior, Xiao Ji can clearly see the half-open beak piercing the water surface in the water, but after all, Xiao Ji has a more bizarre ability, even if it becomes a fish, it is also a fish that is the embodiment of wisdom and strength, seeing that he is about to be caught by the huge beak, Xiao Ji is in a hurry, swallows a mouthful of seawater, and rounds his body again, like an angry hedgehog, becomes slippery, and no matter how wide the bird's beak is, it can't hold Xiao Ji at this moment, and the boobies have reached the limit of holding their breath in the water, so they have to give up; Xiao Ji also took this opportunity to swim out of the sea, jumped into the air, turned into a bird, and spit a mouthful of sea water in the air, flying towards Li Yiheng.
Li Yiheng was worried about Xiao Ji's safety, looking at the chaotic sea at a loss, at this moment he vaguely saw a petite figure going up, relieved himself, and waved his hand: "Little stupid chicken, come here." There was surprise in the words, and surprise was mixed with ridicule.
"Alas, I said Xiao Ding, you are also fierce enough, with your size, you plunge into the water at such a fast speed, and you won't feel dizzy?" Li Yiheng asked Xiao Ji how he felt when he plunged into the sea.
Xiao Ji seemed to be very proud of what he had just done, and raised his neck to Li Yiheng: "Twitter, twitter, twitter, twitter, ......twitter,
"Okay, okay", Li Yi waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Ji, "I don't understand what you said, let me ask you, will you learn to speak? ”
Xiao Ji took a deep breath and tried to follow the pronunciation: "--Find--." ”
"Oh, yes, it's just small, not looking, do it again, and say, '--small-'. ”
"-Find--tsk. ”
"Okay, okay, it's already good, learn slowly in the future, I'm hungry, do you want to eat something?" Listening to Xiao Ji is still 'looking for Ji, looking for Ji', Li Yiheng is afraid that he will lead him into a misunderstanding, and when the time comes, his mouth will be 'Looking for Ji', so that others can hear it, and he can't explain it clearly: what kind of thinking is instilled in Xiao Ji.
Li Yiheng returned to the small kitchen in the cabin, turned out two palm-sized pieces of beef jerky and some potatoes from the food box, set up a pot to make a fire, and prepared to cook the broth, muttering while cutting the meat: "I almost caught that bird, otherwise we can eat fresh meat today, I have been drinking this every day lately, and I have long been tired of it." ”
When Xiao Ji heard these words, he quit, because he regarded these birds as companions, but Li Yiheng wanted to catch them and eat them, and he immediately flew to the top of Li Yiheng's head and pecked him fiercely.
Li Yiheng brandished a shovel to block Xiao Ji's attack, and explained: "What are you doing, I know what you think, but you are different from them. ”
Xiao Ji's offensive was still very fierce, and Li Yiheng finally gave in and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I, I won't eat bird meat in the future." ”
Xiao Ji's anger subsided, standing by the fire and shaking his body, shaking off the seawater on the surface to keep warm, Li Yiheng said helplessly: "I'm afraid of you, from now on my recipe is missing another delicious." ”
After a while, the broth had been cooked, Li Yiheng returned to the deck after eating, observing the weather and wind direction, the sky was still clear, only a slight sea breeze was blowing from west to east, which happened to be the same direction as Li Yiheng's travel, so Li Yiheng raised the sails and continued to sail towards the east with the help of the wind.
