Chapter 9 2 Oil Bottles

"Felix..."

"..."

"Felix..."

"..."

"Felix..."

"I said you can't shut up?!"

Felix stood up from the rock where he was resting, and couldn't help but scolded.He considers himself a good-tempered person, and has never blushed with a bird since hatching—not even the skua that threw him countless times didn't make him so furious!As a result, such a noisy orca was put on the stall, and the saint would be driven crazy!

"What else do you want? If it weren't for you, why would I stay on this rock by myself? Also, can I trouble you to remember your identity? Orcas are killers! Which killer have you seen so much nonsense?"

Felix opened his mouth and rebuked, pretending not to see the shocked eyes of various animals on the beach, above and below the sea, and on the cliffs in the distance.Royall looked up at him from under the water and didn't say a word; he just swam out to spray water while he was breathing, and then swam back cautiously, afraid of disturbing Felix, and even more afraid of being ignored. his reaction.For example, now that Felix is ​​angry, he will temporarily swim aside and come back to call him after a while.

This situation irritated Felix even more.If it happened that Royall ate his companion, he could find a secluded seabed and kick the follower away with a single paw.The problem is that Royall just likes to follow him and does nothing else.In fact, Royall even offered to take out a walrus that was in their way on the way to North Bay--except for telling him not to follow, Royall was pretty much obedient to him.

It was like love at first sight... When thinking of this, Felix could not help but shudder.Think too much, even if Royall likes the other half of the pocket size, the size difference between the emperor penguin and the orca is not what this preference can describe!So that means, if he knew he shouldn't have kicked that paw, right?

Felix was alone on the small rock, looking out at the black beach in the distance.Because there is always a ferocious large carnivore by his side, even seabirds don't dare to approach his place.

But the vast majority of emperor penguins are on the beach. When they are full or need to rest, they will bask in the sun, chat, exercise and so on.They will not leave here until the next breeding season comes.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of other animals on the beach - walruses, seals, Adélie penguins, Antarctic snow petrels, skuas, albatross... and so on, so lively.

According to the plan, Felix should have been there.Record the species and distribution of North Bay, as well as their living habits, as well as news from all over the world.Although he can collect these messages from far away, it requires more energy.

Obviously there was no need for such a waste...it's all Royall's fault!How long is this guy going to be with him?

Just as Felix was cursing, a white skua lightly landed on the highest rock. "Hey, Felix?" Claudio greeted him in a low voice, the unfinished silver fish tail still dangling from his mouth, "How do you feel?" He said, looking cautiously into the water—— Because of the depth of the water, Royall couldn't get too close to the reef—and continued: "You are so kind beyond my expectations, dear Felix!"

So we now know that Felix can't be blamed for being cranky, because there's more than one loud guy.Now, Felix just gave him a blank look and continued to look at the beach.Do you think that as long as he dares to come to the reef, he can get close?Don't be naive!

"It's so far away, it's useless to you!" Claudio was used to his indifference and didn't care about it. "Do you want to know what they are talking about?" He swallowed the fish in a few mouthfuls, deliberately showing off.

It's a pity that Felix is ​​completely immune to such words.Of course he knew what the most popular talk on the beach was—

A boulder that could boil seawater to steam fell from the sky and blasted a place on the edge of the Antarctic ice into slag. There is still a big hole there. The water temperature is completely unsuitable for Antarctic life; Most of the animals were so dead that even ashes could not be found, except for nine emperor penguins and one Adélie penguin who were blown away by the unexpected strong wind.

The above can almost be described as accident, and only bizarre can explain it later.

An emperor penguin that wasn't blown away and an orca just below the rock swam out of there, alive and well, unscathed!The orca has been following the emperor penguin since he woke up, and he almost recognizes his mother!

Of all the descriptions Felix had heard, this statement was the most prosaic.There are other guesses, such as the orca's head was smashed or possessed by aliens (Felix said, this is a good guess), or the emperor penguin was genetically mutated during the impact. Became the boss of the orca (what and what), and finally guessed that the orca and the emperor penguin exchanged souls during the collision, and the orca has been following just to exchange their souls back...

In a word, the imagination of the masses has no bounds, especially when there is an Adélie penguin with a broken mouth to promote.It's useless to rely on other emperor penguins to clarify, unless Felix goes by himself.But now he carries a powerful orca with him, and he can scare away animals in a radius of ten nautical miles before he can speak.

What could be more embarrassing than now!Felix thought angrily.Claudio's statement that he has a good heart is definitely ironic - in fact he is simply forced to!

Claudio couldn't see any expression changes on his face at all, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. "Why don't you react at all?" he muttered, "You don't look like an emperor penguin at all. But then again, you don't look like an emperor penguin at all..."

Felix shot him a warning look.Is this skua stupid?Which pot is deliberately not opened and which pot is lifted?Do you have to remind him of the days when he was still in the egg?

The skua accepted his stare graciously, and then began scratching its lower beak with the tip of its wing. "Okay, I apologize for what I did to you before." He added, "But you have to say something to me, Felix. I've said so much!"

"Okay, then help me to say what you just said to all the emperor penguins." Felix answered him angrily, "I will accept your apology when I'm done."

"It's not difficult!" Claudio immediately cheered up, "It's much easier to shout in the sky! Wait for me, I'll be right back!" He flapped his wings and was about to take off, but suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute , what do you mean by this sentence?"

Felix stayed on the reef for three or four days, almost completed all the mission objectives in Antarctica, and was ready to leave for the next stop.Moreover, he stayed here for a day, and Royall also stayed here for a day, which greatly affected the lives of other animals.He originally wanted to say goodbye to his parents and friends, but now he can only ask an unreliable guy, but at least he can fly, to pass the message for him.Now this unreliable guy actually heard the meaning behind the words, and he couldn't help being a little surprised: "It's literally."

"Where are you going?" Claudio folded his wings and took a few steps in his direction with a serious tone. "Do you mean that you will leave after saying this?"

"Yes." Felix answered him naturally.He was leaving soon anyway, and it was better to leave a message than to be considered missing.

"Walking with him?" Claudio asked again.

Felix didn't understand who Claudio was talking about at first, but he immediately noticed a huge round head protruding from the nearby sea, staring at them. "Of course... no..." he replied weakly, as he sensed that Royall was jealous of Claudio's distance from him now.In this case, it is simply a fantasy to say that Royall will not follow him.

Claudio also seemed to sense this hostility.He looked back at the sea, then at Felix, and quickly made a decision: "Then I'll go with you! I'm tired of staying in North Bay!" Then he didn't wait for Felix to answer, He flapped his wings and flew towards the bay.

"...But what are you going to do?" Felix was hit by another bird.Can you stop being so self-assertive?Should I ask his opinion anyway?

Claudio, who had already flown away, did not hear this sentence, but Royall did.He said to Felix in the sea: "Let's go now, forget about that annoying bird!" His tone was attentive and urgent.

Felix glared at him.Whether it's a skua or an orca, doesn't he want to take it?He does the task much faster by himself, and he doesn't need to drag the oil bottle!
