In the second half of the journey, Sophie's small sled became Ah Ow's solo dance.
For a while, the sled dogs sped up. Ah Ow, unwilling to admit defeat, also sped up. Ah Meng could not keep up, staggered a few steps, and slid on the ground.
Ah Meng did not care. She pulled the sled by herself and continued to run forward.
Steve was shocked when he saw it. "My God, your dog is so strong. It's pulling the sled by itself!"
Elson said, "It's not a dog. It's a wolf, a pure Mexican wolf."
"Whatever it is, its physical strength is amazing, isn't it?"
What could Li Du say? "It usually eats a lot of meat, so it's strong."
In fact, once the sled was pulled, it slid mainly by inertia. The ice sheet was very smooth, and the force needed to pull the sled was not great.
But in any case, Ah Ow pulled the sled by herself, with an ocelot and a honey badger. Her strength was amazing.
The camp was not far from the sea, about five or six kilometers. The sled glided quickly on the ice, and soon they saw the blue coastline.
The Antarctic was still very lively in the warm season. Some seabirds were flying by the sea, and from time to time they landed on the sea to peck at something to eat.
There were penguins living by the sea. Li Du had used the penguin chat tool for many years, and now he finally saw real penguins.
There were a lot of penguins, and they could be seen along the coastline.
To avoid affecting the penguins, Steve stopped the sled ahead of time.
No wonder Brother Wolf praised the sled dogs. They were really good and well trained. When the sled stopped, they gathered around the sled and no longer ran around.
Ah Ow could not do it, and Sophie shouted, "Stop, stop!"
It could understand this sentence, so it obediently stopped. How could it stop? The four paws stopped running and stopped running. Like skating, she slid forward with the sled.
Steve was dumbfounded. "Sh * t, is this ice ballet?!"
Elson smiled and said, "Watch your tongue, don't swear."
The sled had a brake pedal, which could be pressed to force the car to slow down.
But Sophie was useless. The sled kept sliding forward. She was flustered. She put out a leg to brush against the ice, using artificial methods to slow down.
Li Du was shocked, and then laughed. "Haha, female driver! Step on the brakes! Can you do that with your feet? This isn't a scooter! "
"Help me!" Sophie screamed. "The brakes don't work!"
Li Du and Steve only reacted when they heard her words. They chased after the sleigh, but the sleigh was sliding too fast for them to catch up. They could only watch as the sleigh rushed to the beach and was about to plunge into the sea.
After a car accident, Ah Ow, together with the sleigh, slid dozens, hundreds of meters away. Finally, they plunged headfirst into the penguins.
All hell broke loose, and the fat penguins were in trouble. You said we didn't provoke anyone, but while the geese were sitting on the ice, trouble came from the sky!
Penguins were very clumsy on land. Due to their size, they couldn't run fast. When the sleigh first appeared, they noticed the movement and tilted their heads to look back.
When they found that the sleigh had stopped, they calmly sat down again and did not jump into the water to hide from the approaching people.
Penguins were not allowed to be caught in the Antarctic. Besides, penguins had no economic benefits, so no one usually dealt with them. In addition, they were lazy and did not have the habit of being afraid of people.
If it had been other birds or animals, they would have run away when they saw the sleigh rushing over.
The penguins did not run. Instead, some of them crowded together and looked at Li Du and the others like they were watching a show. Their small, dark eyes were full of curiosity.
When Ah Ow and the sleigh rushed over, they finally realized that the situation was not good. But now they couldn't run even if they wanted to. They were too slow and their reflexes were poor!
In this way, the sleigh plunged into the penguins, knocking over one penguin after another, and finally stopped before falling into the sea.
Li Du ran with all his might, and was the first to reach Sophie.
At this time, Sophie had not gotten up yet. He hurried up to help her up and asked worriedly, "How are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. The ice is very soft," Sophie said in surprise.
Then when she got up, a big penguin appeared under her. It was dizzy from the collision and lay on the ground, staring at them with wide eyes.
Sophie nodded, a little embarrassed. "Sorry, sorry, no wonder I felt soft under my body."
The three little ones were not so lucky, especially Ah Meng, whose head seemed to have hit something and was in so much pain that tears welled up in its eyes.
The surrounding penguins were dissatisfied and surrounded them. The few that had been knocked to the ground tried to get up, but some could not. They used their flippers to move the ice as if they were swimming and slid directly on it.
Steve ran over and helped the penguins up.
The penguins were very dissatisfied and surrounded them. Some waved their flippers excitedly and made squeaking sounds. Some squeezed together and walked toward Li Du and Ah Meow, bumping into them with their bodies.
Li Du pulled up the sleigh and hurried away with Ah Ow and the others. Ah Meow was still lying on the ice with a lazy look on his face. I feel like I've become a useless cat …
The penguins they encountered were all very large. They were all more than a meter tall, and some were 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall. They had large heads and strong bodies, like children.
In this way, a group of penguins gathered together. Even though they looked charmingly naive, when they showed hostility at the same time, they still looked very fierce.
Ah Ow felt the hostility of the penguins and was very dissatisfied. She turned around and growled, "Woo woo …"
Li Du slapped the back of her head. "Stop howling, come with me!"
Ah Meng also scurried backward, and Li Du gave it another slap. "Are you a f * cking drama queen? What does it have to do with you? You're just adding to the drama. Let's go! "
Steve also said, "Let's go, these are Emperor penguins, the biggest penguins in Antarctica and the best at fighting. We are now invading their territory. Let's go before they attack!"
Dragging the sled and the dogs, the group of people left as quickly as they could. The Emperor penguins stared at them with their beady eyes. They gathered together and did not disperse.
After leaving the penguins' territory, Steve breathed a sigh of relief. "Sophie, you're very lucky to have met Emperor penguins."
"What's wrong with meeting other penguins?"
"The other penguins are small and can't stop this sleigh. Also, Emperor penguins lay eggs in the cold season of May. Other than the gentoo penguins, the other penguins lay eggs in the summer. That is to say, there are eggs under the feet of the male penguins. Think about it, if you hit their eggs, what would happen? "Steve analyzed.
Sophie made the sign of the cross over her heart. "God help us."
She was really lucky. The sleigh's brakes failed, and with the penguins blocking the way, she landed on the ground. The penguins cushioned her fall, and there were no penguin eggs among the group of penguins. This was the best result.
