Komatsu's Love Defense

We stepped into this cave created by the glacier, walked down the gravel pile carefully, and slowly approached the ice cave along the glacier. As soon as we entered, icicles hung from the top like crystal bead curtains, and the ice walls on both sides of the passage were like ice sculptures created by nature.

The cave is pure and clean, and the icefall hangs on the cliff, like a jade tree and white flowers, which is extremely beautiful. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the icicles, casting mottled light and shadows, which is as charming as a dream.

It was my first time seeing this magnificent glacier, and I couldn’t help but exclaim: “It’s just… so beautiful!”

Seeing that I was still wearing the fur, Alu kindly reminded me, "Hey, Xiaosong! It's okay to take off the fur now!"

I quickly took off my fur, and it really wasn't as cold as before: "Really, it's much warmer now."

A Lu put his hands on his hips and explained patiently, "As expected, the wind stopped. The abnormally strong wind is a local wind unique to this continent. The cause of this wind must be that under the action of methane hydrate, the warmed icebergs gathered air and rushed out of the continent in one breath and then was blown back."

I wrapped the fur tightly in my hand, muttering as I walked, "It would be suicidal to approach this continent at this time."

A Lu smiled happily, showing his row of white teeth: "If it weren't for this period, there would be no way to get the thawed Century Soup."

“I just didn’t expect that the cold could freeze even the gatekeeper of the ice world.” I sighed, my tone full of regret.

A Lu took a deep breath and sighed heavily, "You mean the Ice Dragon? For it, that level of cold is just like a tickle. It was only after it was killed that it was frozen by the blizzard."

"The capture level of the Ice Dragon is over 50... Who on earth has the ability to kill it!" I took a breath and my expression became stiff with astonishment.

A Lu looked up at the sky, without saying anything, but just walked silently. The one who could kill the ice dragon was definitely not an ordinary person, and the enemy he would face next must be very powerful.

The seven of us slowly stepped onto the iceberg and walked until night fell. The glacier at night was bone-chillingly cold, and the starry sky was like shining gems, the most beautiful embellishment of this icy and snowy land.

We set up the tent and lit a bonfire in the snow. Seven of us sat around the fire, cooking the freshly caught game in the pot.

Under the glow of the aurora, the starry sky becomes more gorgeous and dazzling, as if the entire universe is shining for us. The sky is like a gorgeous painting, weaving a symphony of stars, adding a bright color to the blue of the ice sea, and the Milky Way hanging in the sky is like a shining ribbon.

It was the first time I saw the Aurora. I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Yes…it’s the Aurora! It’s the first time I’ve seen it. It’s so beautiful!”

(Note: The Aurora is a colorful light phenomenon that occurs in polar regions. It is also known as the Northern Lights (near the North Pole) and the Southern Lights (near the South Pole). The phenomenon is caused by the solar wind, a stream of charged particles ejected from the sun, entering the Earth's magnetic field and interacting with molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere.)

A Lu bit the meat in his hand hard, and said indistinctly with food in his mouth: "It is said that this is formed because the Century Soup dances with the wind, so this aurora is also called the curtain of food. It seems to be used as a signpost to guide the Century Soup. I remember that the old man said so!"

Takimaru looked up at the sky and sighed deeply: "On this vast iceberg, we must first find the aurora."

Machi lowered her head, staring at the knife in her hand as she cut the meat into thin slices. "The idea of ​​the Aurora being a road sign is like something out of a fairy tale..."

I glanced at the white bear next to me that had been chopped into pieces, and lowered my head to take a bite of the meat. In such cold weather, the texture of the simply processed meat instantly became hard.

Since I came to the Ice Continent, I have hardly eaten anything. With my weak constitution, I will definitely get sick when I return. At this moment, I can only force myself to eat something. I must not fall down at this time.

Suddenly, I felt something lightly touching my back. My face instantly turned red, and my body trembled violently. I had a strong reaction as if I had been electrocuted: "Um... Ah Lu... don't poke me... it's itchy..."

Ah Lu was holding the food in his hand and was about to put it into his mouth. When he heard what I said, he looked up at me in confusion: "Ah? It wasn't me who did it?"

I was startled, then I reacted and looked back, only to see a little pink penguin standing behind me. It had a big round head, a big round white belly, and a big yellow flat mouth on its clean white face.

The little penguin slightly spread its wings and staggered on the ice. It looked up at me, its inky black eyes round and round, like two shining black gems: "Yo, yo, yo!"

I was so excited that I could hardly contain myself. My eyes were shining with excitement: "Wah...Wal...Penguin?"

Ah Lu's eyes instantly widened like bells, his face full of surprise: "This is a baby of the Walleye penguin, this is so rare!"

The little penguin's eyes are like two crystal clear gems, sparkling with curiosity and innocence, which makes people love it.

My heart was instantly conquered by the cuteness of the little penguin. I couldn't help but hug it tightly and rub it: "How cute! How can it be so cute~"

A Lu pointed at the Walleye penguin and said, "This is an endangered species..."

The Wallaby penguin kept poking my face with its hard beak. I hugged the Wallaby penguin tightly and rubbed its soft belly with my cheek: "Ah, little cutie, what are you doing?"

"Could it be that it's lost?" Takimaru looked at the Walleye penguin in my arms and thought that it had lost its way and came here.

A Lu stared at the defenseless Walleye penguin chicks and thought to himself, "Waleye penguin chicks have no sense of vigilance. They will approach any creature, even carnivorous beasts!"

Takimaru nodded in agreement: "That's why they are easily preyed upon, and their numbers are decreasing."
