Chapter 19: The Mysterious Penguin Egg (5)

When Fosko and Millie heard Vico's words, they were startled, and immediately understood how urgent the situation was. They quickly took the little penguin in their arms and ran away. But the Adélie penguin was in hot pursuit, and every now and then a high-pitched cry seemed to provoke them.

Vico and Lannie helped Brende to catch up with them, and together they ran forward, the snow on the ice creaking, but the Adélie penguin kept up at a similar speed, and it seemed that he could not shake it off. As Brende ran, he couldn't help but complain: "How can this penguin be so slippery, I'm almost exhausted!" ”

Vico didn't bother to answer him, just stared intently at the Adélie penguin, trying to find a chance to get rid of it, and then returned to the sleigh. At that moment, they came to an ice cave, and Vico's eyes lit up and he jumped into the ice cave.

Before Fosco and Lennie could react, Vico had already established himself in the ice cave and beckoned to them, "Come in, it's safe here!" They jumped into the ice cave with the baby penguin in their arms, and Vico immediately blocked the hole with ice cubes to keep the Adélie penguin out.

The ice cave glowed with blue light, flashing and flickering. But they weren't in the mood to appreciate the beautiful blue light because they heard the Adélie penguin screaming angrily outside, and the sound of it flapping its wings on the ice. Fusco shuddered and said, "We've got to find a way to get out, or we'll be stuck here." ”

Vico nodded and said, "Yes, and we need to get back to the sled as soon as possible." Lan Nieu agreed, "So what do we do?" ”

Vico looked around and saw a narrow passage deep into the ice cave, and he proposed, "We can try to get out of that passage, maybe get rid of that Adélie penguin." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and cautiously walked towards the passageway. The little penguin looked a little panicked in their arms, and Fosco and Millie comforted it softly, telling it that everything was going to be okay.

The passage appears dull and damp. Brende couldn't help but complain: "This passage is really getting narrower and narrower, I can't even breathe!" Vico encouraged him: "Hold on a little longer, and we'll be out in no time." ”

At that moment, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid skiing, and the Adélie penguins followed them into the passage!

Fusco said nervously, "How can it still find us?" Vico said calmly, "Don't panic, we need to find a place to hide." ”

They continued on their way, and finally came to a fork in the road. Vico decisively chose one of the passages, and the group quickly followed. They didn't go far before they found a small cave, and Vico quickly told everyone to hide in it and plug the hole with ice.

Adélie penguins wander anxiously outside, flapping their wings against the ice walls from time to time, trying to find them. Everyone held their breath nervously, and Vico looked nervously at the entrance of the cave and whispered, "I hope it can leave." ”

After a while, the Adélie penguin's call faded away, and Vico breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that it has finally given up." They cautiously walked out of the cave and continued towards the end of the passage.

Finally, they came to the exit, which was a small crack covered in snow and ice. Vico said happily, "We need to get to the sleigh and get out of here." ”

The group quickly returned to the sled, started the engine, and sped away from the ice field. Looking back, they saw the Adélie penguin looking at them angrily from a distance, but was unable to catch up with the speeding sleigh.

On the sleigh, several people finally relaxed, and Brende patted his chest, gasping and said, "It scared me to death just now, my little heart was pounding, and I felt like I was going to jump out." Scared the hell out of me! Several others were also apprehensive. Millie said, "Brother, next time, can you go down to confirm first, and then call us, I can't run!" ”

Vico was speechless for a while, "Okay! I'll make sure I'll find the penguin colony when I find it again, and then I'll call you over!" O Millie! You're pushing your brother in front to feed the penguins! Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the carriage instantly relaxed.

Fosco took the steering wheel and said, "I know where there are penguins, let's go over and have a look!" With that, he drove the sled and drove in the direction of the Antarctic coastline.
