Chapter 361: A Huge Fierce Animal Climbing Boat

In the picture, a sub-adult penguin, which is smaller than the adult penguin next to it, is being crushed underneath.

Don't get me wrong, it's not something to be ashamed of, it's a sub-adult penguin struggling desperately.

I saw the gray skua pressed on it embed its head in the penguin's head with its pointed beak.

It is about sixty centimeters long, and its wings are currently open, estimated to be about one point six meters.

But the weight of the bird is very light, don't look at it so big, it should actually be only about four or five pounds.

It is able to keep penguins at bay, the first being that sub-adult penguins are smaller.

The second most important thing is its hooked and pointed beak, which can easily pierce the skin of penguins.

It crushes the penguin and punctures the penguin's head, apparently wanting it to bleed to death.

At this moment, another skua in the distance, which had not been successfully hunted, flew over, and now another one came, and it was clear that the penguin's fate was decided.

The penguin was undoubtedly lucky to reach sub-adult status, escaping the egg-setting and infant skuas when they were at their most frenzied.

As a result, he didn't expect that under the premise that he was about to grow up and not be afraid of skuas, it did not escape in the end.

The newly approaching skua emitted a seabird-like call, as if calling for its mates to come and grab food.

Sure enough, the next moment, several other skuas who heard the call took off in vain, and after discovering the situation here, they all gathered one after another, and there were five in total.

To Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo's surprise, the new skua did not have the idea of subduing the penguins together, but wanted to snatch the penguins from their companions.

While they were fighting, the penguins suddenly struggled and took the opportunity to break free from the skua and run frantically to the sea.

Because it is closer to the sea, as long as the skua hides in the sea, there is a high probability that there is no way to take it.

"Hurry up, run away, run away!" There is a clear rule in Antarctica that humans cannot interfere in everything in nature, so Jiang Luoluo can only cheer for the penguins not far away.

"If you escape, you probably won't be able to live, and you'll hurt your head!" Chu Mingcheng poured cold water on her very appropriately, although the Antarctic was already cold enough!

“.” Jiang Luoluo squinted at him and snorted, "That's better than being eaten!" ”

"I can recognize this bird, isn't it the notorious skua gull! I never do serious things, I usually only do three things, go out to sleep and grab food! ”

Chu Mingcheng laughed: "Aren't they just hunting, it's just that the object of hunting is the cute penguins, which will make people more sympathetic to the penguins in comparison." ”

These ecosystems in Antarctica are no different from other natural areas.

Don't look at the penguin running desperately, after the food in his mouth fell off, the skua who were originally competing for food instantly united as one, and they took off to surround the penguin.

Compared to the skua that had been united at this time, the penguin flock watching not far away was called real indifference.

They are very numerous, at least a few hundred by sight.

But they just looked at the symbolic cries here, and did not have the idea of forming a group to drive away the skuas, maybe they were dead friends and not dead poor people.

As long as they can go out together, how can these skuas be so arrogant.

The encircled penguin has become a "lamb" to the slaughter, one attacking its head and the other its tail.

The rest of the skua also spread its wings and firmly surrounded the penguin, leaving it with nowhere to run.

The skin on the penguin's tail may not have the toughness of the brain, and it is easy to be torn open by the skua, and it has been struggling and wailing in pain.

The skuas, on the other hand, have already eaten directly around their tails, tearing off a shredded piece of meat every time they tear it, and then eat it in their mouths.

This kind of behavior made Jiang Luoluo feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it not long ago.

She thought for a moment, and suddenly suddenly realized: "Why is this behavior so similar to hyenas, when we were in Tanzania at that time, wasn't that group of hyenas also tearing their prey so directly?" ”

"Indeed!" Chu Mingcheng nodded.

They were on their way to bison hunting, but on the way they happened to come across a pack of equally notorious African hyenas.

They were lucky enough to surround an antelope, and then they saw the legendary technique of digging out the tank.

Chu Mingcheng, who watched it, felt cold, because it was a male antelope.

And this kind of picture, in fact, the dogs also saw it, but they didn't react at all.

Along the way, they were accustomed to their owners slaughtering all kinds of fish, and even some animals that they were very afraid of, and they were completely indifferent to this little scene.

It's not like other dogs, who go up and bite fiercely, and bark on the side.

The baby sea otter was a little scared and kept huddled next to them for protection.

The picture of the penguins being eaten alive is actually not so good-looking, and after watching it for a long time, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo did not continue to watch it.

Instead, they come to the penguin colony and stand outside to take pictures.

Their luck was good, and they could meet a colony of penguins as soon as they came over.

After taking the photo, the time was almost noon.

The two found a spot where the wind was smaller, then took out food for the dogs and sea otters from their backpacks and fed them.

Then they themselves ate the sushi they had made in the morning.

After eating two sushi, Chu Mingcheng took out a large thermos flask from his backpack: "Na, drink some hot soup to warm up." ”

Jiang Luoluo took it and took a sip, and his body, which was originally cold by the sea breeze, suddenly warmed up a lot.

"I'll make some beef buns when I go back in the evening, this sushi is too cold fast." Chu Mingcheng lost his appetite after eating some sushi.

The main thing was that the original temperature of this thing was not high, and when I took it out, it was blown by the sea breeze of more than minus 20 degrees, and it almost didn't freeze into ice, and the taste was quite poor.

Jiang Luoluo nodded approvingly, there were a lot of various meats in the refrigerated cabin, and the two of them couldn't consume much.

The hot buns are in the insulated lunch box, and they are taken out to give the sea breeze a breeze and the estimated temperature is just right.

In the afternoon, the two left the penguin colony and walked elsewhere.

There are no particularly dangerous animals on the Antarctic continent, and they are relatively comfortable walking.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, they began to return, and by the time they got back to the ship, it was nearly five o'clock.

Chu Mingcheng made a simple dinner, and after eating, he walked into the small warehouse where the food was stored and brought out a bag of flour inside.

"It's good that we're southerners, and our staple food is rice. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't even have flour to make buns in Antarctica. ”

Jiang Luoluo complained when he heard this: "Are you stupid, you usually eat a lot of pasta, so won't you store more flour and less rice in the warehouse?" ”

“.” Chu Mingcheng was embarrassed, and at this moment he suddenly felt that he was really stupid, so he hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

First, use warm milk to dissolve the yeast, although it is normal to use warm water, in fact, milk can also be used, and the crust will have a milky flavor.

After the yeast melted, Chu Mingcheng added flour and kneaded the dough.

It's okay if the powder is not kneaded enough, and you can add the softened butter to continue kneading after waking up.

But what strength does Chu Mingcheng have, kneading the dough is not easy?

With his strength, if he doesn't move bricks, it will be a loss on the construction site, and if he doesn't help the cook, it will be the chef's regret.

After kneading the dough, add the softened butter and continue kneading until the oil is shiny, then wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rise.

At this time, Chu Mingcheng began to make the stuffing inside, and the most on their boat was beef and toothfish.

However, the fish buns are delicious or not, and he doesn't know the bottom of his heart, so he finally got some fillings mixed with beef, which is not much, and he purely tried it.

The main tuna is a good stuffing mixed with beef, and he thinks that the toothfish may be fine.

After the noodles woke up and the filling was ready, Jiang Luoluo also came over to roll up his sleeves to help.

She is skillful, and these delicate tasks are better than Chu Mingcheng.

It's just that after all the noodles are used up, and after wrapping more than 150 buns, there is still a big pot of fillings.

Jiang Luoluo looked at the filling in front of him speechlessly: "How do you make so many fillings?" ”

Chu Mingcheng was a little embarrassed: "This is not the first time to make steamed buns, I am afraid that the filling will not be enough, so I will get more, how do I know that there will be so much." ”

"What about so many fillings, is it better to fry them directly as a dish, or to use them as dog food for dogs?"

"Why don't you make sweet potato dumplings?"

Chu Mingcheng thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the sweet potatoes that he didn't eat much in the warehouse.

These sweet potatoes were prepared before they set off in Xiashi, and some sweet potatoes were delicious when cooking porridge.

It's just that there was a little bit more prepared at the beginning, and they ate less, so there were still dozens of catties in the warehouse.

"What are sweet potato dumplings?" Jiang Luoluo asked curiously.

She has been with Chu Mingcheng for a short time, but she has been living in Xiashi, so she doesn't know much about the more famous dim sum in Wenshi.

"A kind of dim sum that tastes great!"

Chu Mingcheng didn't explain too much, and he knew it after he made it.

However, he got up first and went to the ship's ingredient warehouse, making sweet potato dumplings requires a very important ingredient, if not, there is directly a soul missing, it is better to use the remaining filling to make dumplings.

Fortunately, in the end, he still found some dried tofu, which was not much but was perfectly fine for use as a filling.

However, unlike steamed buns, the filling of sweet potato dumplings needs to be fried first.

Soon, an enticing scent came out of the kitchen, which directly attracted the dogs lying in the living room.

Jiang Luoluo gave them a small spoon and tasted it before sending it away.

The flavor of the fillings has already been adjusted, and it is not suitable to give them more.

After a busy night, they finally managed to make enough food to carry with them when they visited the Antarctic continent.

Just as they were about to steam some to taste, the boat suddenly shook, followed by the panicked screams of dogs.

Chu Mingcheng reacted extremely quickly, and hurriedly rushed out and picked up the heavy javelin placed at the door.

Jiang Luoluo was also very calm, and hurriedly ran into the fishing gear warehouse, took a speargun, and then ran out.

When she came to the deck, her hand shook and the speargun almost didn't fall to the ground.

I saw a huge seal, at least three meters and a half or more, appear on the deck, opening its bloody mouth towards Chu Mingcheng, and the two sides were facing each other.

Immediately afterward, she saw the dark night hiding behind Chu Mingcheng and barking arrogantly, but it kept trembling, and there was a puddle of water not far away, which already showed that it was a dog.

Although a little speechless and funny, Jiang Luoluo was more concerned about this sudden giant beast at the moment.

This is a huge female leopard-shaped seal, and the reason why it is recognizable as a female at a glance is because leopard seals can grow up to four meters at most, and they are generally two to three meters long.

The males are smaller than the males, and can reach more than 3.5 meters, so you don't have to think that it is definitely a female.

The leopard seal is an extremely dangerous and ferocious animal, completely different from other seals that even cats can't beat.

They are the top hunters in Antarctica, and their only natural predator is killer whales.

It's summer, and according to the habits of leopard seals, they hunt in the waters around Antarctica all summer.

This would jump onto the ship, presumably attracted by the darkness of the night on the deck.

They are curious and bold, and they will attack even if they have never seen such animals in the night, after all, they are very different in size.

"Ah Cheng, do you want to use a speargun?" Jiang Luoluo was a little worried about Chu Mingcheng, who was so close to the seal, and wanted to hand over the speargun and let him drive the seal away from a distance.

"No, they're slow on land!"

Chu Mingcheng was not afraid of this leopard seal at all, seeing that the other party was still sticking out his head now, the boss with his mouth open intimidated him.

He immediately unceremoniously used the javelin as a stick and struck it directly on the head.

Even though the leopard seal reacted quickly and retracted its head in time, it was still beaten, and its head was dizzy for a while.

This is still the result of the mercy of Chu Mingcheng's subordinates, if he uses all his strength, even if he doesn't open the Seagod Mode, he can knock the other party to serious injury.

No matter how hard the skull is, can it be as hard as a metal javelin?

After its head stopped fainting and came back to its senses, it knew that Chu Mingcheng was not easy to mess with, so it hurriedly crawled its slender but extremely fat body and jumped underwater.

"Plop~"

The water splashed and it returned to the water that it felt very safe.

Chu Mingcheng thought that it would leave if it was afraid, but this leopard seal would not leave at all, it surrounded the Black Yao, and from time to time it surfaced and looked up to observe the situation on the boat.

This made him frown suddenly, looking at this leopard seal still has a grudge?

Then why didn't he secretly open the Poseidon mode at night and slaughter it?

He wasn't afraid of himself, but he was a great danger to pets who liked to come on deck from time to time to breathe.

Especially Jiang Luoluo, whenever he is touched by this seal, he will regret it.

"Why hasn't this seal left?"

Jiang Luoluo naturally found out about this, and said with some concern.

"It's okay, we're leaving here tomorrow anyway, it can't follow all the time." Chu Mingcheng comforted her softly, and then pulled her back to the cabin with the night.

He suddenly felt that he didn't need to go to such trouble as getting up at night, and if the seal did dare to follow them tomorrow, it would definitely regret it.

It was late at night, and when the seals saw that there was no movement on the boat, they swam towards the penguin colony not far away.

It holds a grudge, and it must have taken revenge just now.

But now it is very hungry, so it can only come to the penguin colony to push the ice and wait for the penguins to enter the water, and then act when it is full.
