Chapter 22: 15

A burst of sea water rushed up and swept away Qiao Qixi’s little yellow bucket, but Qiao Qixi didn’t even lift his eyelids, showing just how tired he was.

Fortunately, Odis had sharp eyes, so he quickly picked up the cub’s favorite toy and put it in a safer place.

In any case, he had raised this strange little bear for so long and already became accustomed to Qiao Qixi’s various bad habits. 

For example, when he was tired, the little bear would immediately lie down motionless. He wasn’t dead nor sick, just heavily sleeping.

Having just finished a difficult sea migration, Odis was tired and even hungry. After all, he hadn’t eaten for several days. 

If Qiao Qixi wasn’t by his side, Odis would’ve immediately searched for food to recover his strength while traveling.

But now, Odis wanted to guard his cub and couldn’t go anywhere. 

He laid down to clean his fur, then squinted his eyes while basking in the sun, waiting for his tired body to recover.

That night, Qiao Qixi slept very deeply. Even when Odis licked his face to wake him up, there was no response. 

Odis, who was next to him, was a little worried. With a sturdy arm holding the cub, his eyes looked around a little helplessly. 

However, in the eyes of others, this polar bear still had a calm and expressionless face, and one could only guess at what he was thinking in his heart. 

When the weather turned overcast, clouds blocked the sun, and temperatures on the coast dropped by a few degrees.

The wind blowing was also slightly colder. 

Qiao Qixi moved his paws, covering his wind-stricken eyes, and burrowed deeper into Odis’ arms. 

He was in a state of deep sleep. 

However, it wasn’t long before Qiao Qixi finally awoke, yawned while resting his chin on Odis’ arm, and was surprised by the somewhat gloomy weather. 

This was weather that he didn’t like very much. 

However, Odis liked it very much because it was colder.

Qiao Qixi got up and put the small bucket on his head, following Odis to slowly explore the strange land. 

The deserted beach was covered with stones and dirty sand. 

Any polar bear walking on it would definitely dirty its paws. 

Where there was land, there would be plant life. After all, this wasn’t a small island but the shore of the mainland. When Qiao Qixi looked into the distance, he could see dense mountains and forests. 

Green grass also grew on the flat ground that wasn’t corroded by seawater. 

Of course, the first thing that came into view was the towering rocks along the cliff, which had been corroded by sea water for a long time to form circular patterns. 

Thousands of seabirds as large as wild ducks were perched above, their carefully tended eggs hidden in secret crevices in the rocks. 

Generally speaking, if these eggs weren’t snatched by the polar bears who spend their summers here, they would hatch smoothly. 

However, Qiao Qixi felt that Otis wouldn’t do something as lowly as stealing bird eggs. 

#Congratulations, two polar bears landed smoothly#

The Polar Researcher Forum had simultaneously updated a photo of Qiao Qixi and Odis walking on the shore. 

: They just finished a long trip and look tired.

: They have been hungry for a few days now. I wonder what the first meal will be?

: How pitiful, it’s best to catch a beluga whale or something at high tide, or encounter stranded carrion on the shore.

: Polar bears can skip food in the summer, but the taste of hunger should be unpleasant…

: Alexander is still so young, Odis should try his best to hunt and take care of him like a mother bear!

: Yes, but I’m not worried about these two polar bears. They have enough fat stored on their bodies to consume. My concern is for the other polar bears, and I hope everything goes well for them. 

: Wishing them luck~

That’s right, the only food that could be eaten in summer were beluga whales that swam to shallow waters at high tide or other marine animals that were stranded on the shore.

This was the available meaty foods. 

Some polar bears would also eat plants, such as grass and roots.

But Qiao Qixi wouldn’t be able to accept it unless it was sweet-smelling roots and ripe berries. 

As for now, Odis led the hungry little polar bear on the shore, seemingly not giving up on hunting for meat. 

He just needed a suitable location, such as a shallow seaside with many reefs or under a cliffside. 

The relatively warm shallow sea tributaries were where beluga whales liked to hang out during this season. 

But such a place was hard to find, and no one was sure when or where it would appear.

Before they found food, they would need to keep moving, even though it might not be worth it. Moving consumed energy and stamina after all.

Luckily, Qiao Qixi was a very patient person, otherwise he wouldn’t have chosen a nitpicky major such as geology.

So although he walked with Odis for a long time, he was not impatient. 

It was just hunger. Without danger or bad weather, it was actually okay. 

Odis stopped and sniffed the air brought by the wind. Then he continued walking and led Qiao Qixi in a clear direction. 

This action was repeated twice, which attracted the little polar bear’s attention. When he saw this, his round eyes lit up. What did this mean?

It meant that Odis smelled food!

Qiao Qixi, who had been hungry for several days, immediately became excited, and his small steps became lively. 

Indeed, this was the case. Odis smelled the scent of food, and the smell was very strong. 

To humans, it was even an unpleasant stench. 

But it was a rare delicious meal for polar bears in the summer. 

Secret message T-T please read at inuekohouse.wordpress.com

It was the remains of a huge whale, which must’ve been stranded on the shore for some time. Its internal organs had long been hollowed out by the sea water, leaving only a body frame and some grayish red flesh. 

The very exaggerated ribs stuck out and looked a bit like it belonged in a sci-fi movie. 

In fact, this was not the sight that Qiao Qixi was most surprised about. What made him very hesitant was that seven or eight polar bears had already gathered around the whale remains. 

They were quite fat, but their hair was not white as they all seemed to be covered in dust. They must’ve lived on the shore for a while. 

In order to compete for food, these polar bears occasionally clashed, roaring at each other a few times or even directly attacking. 

The commotion was quite scary. 

The arrival of Odis and Qiao Qixi would undoubtedly result in them becoming rivals to divide the food, and of course, they weren’t welcomed.

The first person to be threatened was Qiao Qixi because he was a cub with a weak presence. 

In this regard, Qiao Qixi just followed in the footsteps of Odis, and he avoided eye contact with the other polar bear. 

Odis looked at the nearby polar bear, baring his teeth and threatening him. His voice was thicker and deeper than that of the polar bear. 

The polar bear quickly turned away and stopped staring at them, apparently knowing that the cub had a protector. 

It’s just that he didn’t understand why a strong male polar bear would take care of a small polar bear cub. 

This was something only a mother bear would do. 

Odis chased away the grumpy gray bear and turned around to rub against the frightened Qiao Qixi. This behavior could be said to be very warm and comforting.

In fact, Qiao Qixi wasn’t scared. As long as he did not approach the food occupied by the other polar bear, the other party would probably not really attack.

But the little bear was indeed hungry. He, who had never eaten rotten meat before, actually swallowed his saliva in the face of this whale that had been stranded for many days, even if the smell was really pungent. 

Odis took him to the other side of the stranded whale where he ripped open the tough whale skin with his sharp fangs, revealing the flesh inside that had not rotted because of the low temperature. 

It was red meat.

Qiao Qixi swallowed his saliva, stood up, and pressed his paws on the whale. He stretched out his head to lick the meat.

Odis devoured the whale meat and swallowed several mouthfuls in no time. 

Qiao Qixi: …

He tried his best to jump up and down, damn, still can’t reach it!

Really, why did Odis eat so high, couldn’t he tear it lower so that the cub could also eat meat!

Because of his short stature, Qiao Qixi could only watch Odis eat first and pray that Odis would remember that there was still a little cutie waiting to be fed. 

In fact, Odis did not forget the little polar bear. He first ate the meat on the outer layer before tearing off the fresher meat on the inside and turning around to feed it to Qiao Qixi. 

Aerial drone footage captured the big polar bear with meat in his mouth and lowering his head to feed the cub. 

One lowered his head and the other craned his neck. The picture was so warm and loving that the corners of people’s mouths couldn’t help but curl up. 

Qiao Qixi, who was tearing at the whale meat, finally ate his first bite of meat in days and almost choked with excitement. 

Odis, on the other hand, continued to bite at the whale skin. He ate the stale and rough outer meat and gave the fresh and tender inside meat to Qiao Qiao to eat. 

It was estimated that the stranded whale could be eaten for a long time, so Odis didn’t take big bites. If possible, he would stay here with Qiao Qixi until the entire whale was eaten. 

But it was expected that more and more polar bears would come after smelling the scent. 

Thus, even a giant whale could not be eaten for long. 

Of course, for the time being, they didn’t have to go hungry. This was an unexpected surprise that not every polar bear could encounter. 

The little polar bear ate the meat happily and felt that his luck was quite good. 

He thought that if there were two more beached whales this summer, they would probably be able to spend the rest of the summer in peace. 

Maybe by the time winter returned, he would have gained 10 to 20 kilograms.

However, that was basically impossible. Encountering one was already the luck of the draw. 

And so just like that, the two lucky bears lowered their heads to eat their fill. 

Odis, who had been hungry for a few days, could eat 100 kilograms of food in one go, or even more. 

Especially in this situation, he was going to eat as much as he could. He hoped that Qiao Qixi would do the same, so he kept moving pieces of meat to Qiao Qixi. 

But Qiao Qixi’s appetite was limited. Of course, it was impossible for him to eat as much as Odis in one go. 

Soon, his small bucket was piled high with meat that he couldn’t eat. To be honest, it was quite stressful!

Was this life in the wild? When he was hungry, he was hungry to death, and when there was food to eat, he really couldn’t eat it all.  

Odis, that’s enough. Stop it, no, stop-

The natural food server, Odis, turned around with meat in his mouth and found that the little bear’s bucket was still full of meat, surprisingly uneaten. 

“…”

“…”

Odis gave the little bear a serious look, and the large round and deep eyes seemed to ask: Little cub, what is wrong with you?

“Burp…” After staring at him for a while, Qiao Qixi gave a burp filled with the taste of whale meat.

Under Odis’ disappointed gaze, he sat down tiredly and gave up.

Odis, who had long been accustomed to the cub’s spoiled ways, made sure the cub was done eating before he ate the rest of the meat himself. 

After eating for a while more, other polar bears finally wandered close. 

Judging by the way they were poking their heads out, they must have come over to make trouble after guessing that the two bears had already eaten till they were half full.

Starving polar bears probably didn’t have the time to look for trouble.

Odis turned his head to look at the other polar bears, directly baring his teeth and issuing a warning sound. His movements were more domineering and aggressive than when he was not full.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to be tense. 

Sitting next to him, Qiao Qixi felt that the Odis, who was not full, could fight ten bears by himself, while the Odis, who was full, was simply invincible.

Of course, this was an exaggeration. Well, anyway, he was very fierce! 

In short, the intimidated polar bears didn’t dare to come over again and found other unoccupied places to eat. 

Qiao Qixi was quite surprised. Was Odis that powerful?

With a bit of admiration when he looked at the other bear, he seemed to find that Odis looked a little more awe-inspiring.

He thought to himself: ‘As expected of a fierce bear who had experienced a lot of hardships. His entire body gave off the unique aura of a big boss in the north. Look at the tough manner he displayed which clearly threatened ‘I’ll beat you up.’’

When he thought about it seriously, whether it was animals or people from the north, they were indeed more… direct. 

Qiao Qixi, who came from the south, was said to be gentle and polite like a typical scholar. 

It was probably impossible for him to take the initiative to fight in this life.
