Steve took the fishing net, hooks, and other tools from the sled and prepared to go out to sea.
Li Du asked, "Where's the boat? We didn't bring a boat. Where is the boat? "
To go out to sea to catch krill, they had to take a boat. At first, he thought the boat was in the sea, but when he got to the shore, there was no sign of a boat.
Steve smiled and said, "We don't need a boat to swim in the water."
Li Du was shocked and said, "You must be joking …"
"Owww!" Ah Ow howled.
Li Du turned back and pressed her head down, reprimanding, "What are you howling for? Stop howling and stay here, or I'll throw you into the water for a cold bath."
Ah Ow sat down unhappily and stared at her surroundings, still looking as though she was unwilling to be left alone.
Li Du continued to say to Steve, "You must be joking. This is the Antarctic Sea. If we go down, we'll probably become corpses in a few minutes because of the loss of body heat."
"Corpses in the Antarctic can be preserved for decades. If there's a cold wave, you can be frozen, so you can be preserved for hundreds of years," Steve continued to laugh.
With that, Li Du knew that he was joking.
Sure enough, Steve took him forward and said, "Let me show you a magic trick and make a boat out of thin air."
Seeing that they were walking forward, Ah Ow stretched her neck and howled again, "Owww!"
Li Du was furious. He turned back and stared at her. "What are you howling for …"
Ah Ow continued to howl toward a group of penguins behind them. "Owww!"
Sophie suddenly reacted. "Where's Ah Meng?"
"Owww!" Ah Ow nodded and kept howling toward the penguins.
Li Du understood at once that he had misunderstood Ah Ow. Ah Ow was telling him that Ah Meng had secretly gone to the penguins.
They hurried over. The penguins where Ah Meng had gone was where Sophie had bumped into them. They did not know when he had sneaked there.
"What happened?"
"Honey badgers have a strong desire for revenge. It seemed to have been bitten by a penguin or something. Anyway, it was hurt, so it must have gone back to take revenge," Li Du explained.
Steve asked in surprise, "There's such a thing? Is it so vengeful? "
"Whether Africa is chaotic or not, the honey badger has the final say."
Li Du was worried that Ah Meng would be surrounded and attacked by the penguins. Although honey badgers were good fighters, the Emperor penguins were even better. In order to protect their young, they were willing to fight with seals.
Moreover, Ah Meng had to face a large group of penguins. These fat birds, which were more than a meter tall, could easily trample Ah Meng to death.
They ran over to take a look. The situation was not as bad as they had expected. The penguins were not in a mess, and there were no group fights.
On the contrary, the penguins gathered in a circle and leaned on each other. They stared at something curiously with their small black eyes. The penguins at the back could not see it, so they were jumping around anxiously!
Seeing this, Li Du was amused. "Interesting."
Sophie patted him from behind and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and find Ah Meng."
There was no need to look. Ah Meng was in the circle of penguins. All the penguins were looking at it.
There were too many penguins gathered together. Although Li Du and the others were tall, they could not see what was going on from afar. Moreover, Ah Meng was crouching very low and was blocked by the penguins.
Steve said, "Penguins are very curious. When they see something they have never seen before, they will look at it. In addition, they have herd mentality. When there are too many penguins, even if the others are not interested, they will still gather around to watch. "
"What are they looking at? What is Ah Meng doing? "
Li Du was not sure. He had to squeeze in to see.
The Emperor penguins were tall and strong. Although they were not as tall as Li Du's chest, they were fat and had a low center of gravity. They squatted there like stone blocks, and Li Du was not able to squeeze in.
He tried to squeeze in, but some of the Emperor penguins were not willing. They turned around and flapped their wings at him, squawking.
Li Du thought that this was very interesting. The Emperor penguins were like humans, resisting when someone tried to cut in line.
Fortunately, the Emperor penguins were not very hot-tempered. He was careful not to hurt them, so no penguins attacked him. Most of them turned their attention to him.
After squeezing in with much difficulty, Li Du saw what was going on. Ah Meng was digging!
Its hind limbs were on the ground, and its front limbs were like small shovels. Its mouth was open and it kept biting. After breaking the exposed ice, it continued to dig!
The Emperor penguins were watching. They did not have the ability to dig. Perhaps it was the first time they had seen an animal dig a hole in the ice. They were curious and envious.
If they had this ability, they would not have to endure the snowstorms. In the future, when there was a snowstorm, they could dig a hole in the ice to hide.
However, as far as Li Du knew, the Antarctic ice sheet was very hard. Even a drill would not be able to penetrate it. However, Ah Meng was able to dig a hole!
There were pieces of ice of all sizes scattered around it. Li Du called out to it and said, "Alright, alright, come here, let's go …"
Sophie asked worriedly, "What's going on?"
Li Du's heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be nervous and said, "Ah Meng is fighting with the Emperor penguins. It's a one-on-one fight inside. The Emperor penguin is very strong and it's fighting with Ah Meng!"
Steve was shocked, and then he also squeezed in. "It must be the Emperor penguin king. It's fighting with Ah Meng? I can't miss this opportunity, I have to go take a look! "
He squeezed in too quickly and stepped on the feet of the Emperor penguins. As a result, the big penguins were angered. They turned their heads and pecked at Steve with their thick beaks.
Steve's clothes were very thick, and the pecks could not penetrate them. He did not feel any pain, but he was flustered and could only run away.
Li Du saw that he had achieved his goal and immediately laughed. He went in and picked up Ah Meng, who was still digging fiercely. He said, "It's digging ice. It must have hurt itself by hitting the ice just now, and now it's taking revenge on the ice."
Being caught by him, Ah Meng was unwilling to give up and scratched at the ice again.
At this time, Li Du saw a large, dark gray stone in the ice. It was particularly conspicuous.
Because of the storm, the surrounding ice was very flat. Only there was ice here, and it had something to do with the stone. The stone was embedded in the surface of the ice, forming a bulge.
Ah Meng was not digging for ice. It was digging for the stone. It was smart enough to know that it was the stone that hurt it.
Half of the stone had been dug out. Li Du said curiously, "Steve, there's a dark gray stone here. It looks a bit like the meteorite you showed me …"
Steve laughed coldly. "Go to hell, I won't fall for it. Don't try to lie to me again!"
Li Du put Ah Meng down. Ah Meng once again turned into a small excavator, digging and digging. Finally, the stone that was the size of a volleyball was dug out.
Li Du raised the stone and said, "Look, it looks like it."
Steve's eyes widened. "God!"
