Deep affection knows no origin; remember the polar bear's love for you.

Chapter 200 The Little Bear Disappears for Two and a Half Minutes

Another seal appeared on the distant ice, lying quietly, its outline blurred in the dim light of the polar night.

This is a seal lying next to a vent. There are two ways to catch it.

One method is to quietly approach, then minimize the distance between you and the seal, do everything you can to avoid being spotted, run at top speed, and then bite it tightly with your teeth before it can go back into the sea through the blowhole, dragging it away from the blowhole so it can never go back into the sea. In this way, the seal will have no choice but to be slaughtered by the bear.

The other method is only useful in very rare cases.

That means memorizing the location of the snorkel, then diving into the water, swimming below the snorkel, and suddenly attacking it from the snorkel, grabbing it like a seal grabbing the edge of an ice floe.

This method carries significant risks.

If you can't find a vent, it's easy to get lost in the water, and the only outcome when facing the thick ice is suffocation.

Secondly, the vents vary in size. If you get too close and find that you can't pass through the vent, you might get stuck inside, which would be counterproductive.

This time, Caesar's eyes did not reveal the same determination he had shown during the previous hunt.

He sat calmly in place, wiped his face with his paw, and said to the two bear cubs:

"Hey, you little brats, you've taken so much food from me, now it's your turn to repay me."

The little bear blinked its beady eyes, inwardly complaining that the first two seals were clearly caught by Guo Mi on purpose.

The remaining seals...

Well, it's true that Caesar deliberately left them some by turning a blind eye.

Do you want to hunt by yourself?

The little bears looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes!
However, they still had some concerns. The seal was quite heavy. Could they catch it before it escaped back into the sea and drag it away from the burrow?

However, Caesar seemed to have heard the little bear's worries and added a new condition:

"Dive down to the bottom of the sea, climb up through the vent, and grab it."

The ventilation holes that are difficult for adult polar bears to pass through are not such a big obstacle for cubs, but climbing up the smooth ice wall is still a challenge.

The ice might be exceptionally thick, and the bear cub might slip into the sea before it even climbs up.

The level of danger has increased exponentially!
Both the salmon and the fish bones hesitated.

Caesar didn't urge them on, but simply sat to the side and used his paws to pile the snow at his feet into a small snowdrift.

The choice remains with the little bear.

“Let’s go!” Surprisingly, it was Fishbone who took the initiative to make the choice this time.

Not only the salmon, but even Caesar's gaze fell with a hint of surprise on the little male bear.

Fishbone's tone was very firm:
"He has already taught us. Now we have to work hard on our own. Guo Mi is still waiting for us!"

The salmon laughed upon hearing this:
"If Guo Mi wakes up, I hope she can eat the seals we caught."

"Ok!"

The two bear cubs walked one after the other toward the seal. They needed to memorize the seal's location as much as possible, and then dive down to find a breathing hole near the seal.

Caesar coldly observed their confident demeanor, chuckled, and lazily turned his head away.

If only a bear's life could be smooth sailing without any setbacks.

The little bear, recalling Caesar's actions as he went into the water, slowly extended its paw and probed into the water.

Caesar's movements may seem simple at first glance, but it turns out that maintaining balance is quite difficult when you actually do them. As soon as his paws dip into the water, his body leans forward and he loses control of his center of gravity. Even though the little bear tries his best to control his body, he eventually loses his balance and falls into the water with a "plop," splashing quite a bit of water.

Fortunately, they were relatively far away, and the low light of the polar night provided them with maximum cover. The dark shadow lying on the ice in the distance slightly twisted its body, as if it was raising its head and looking in their direction.

The two bear cubs held their breath and remained motionless while submerged in the water.

The seal cautiously surveyed its surroundings until it was certain there was no threat before lying back down on the ice.

The little bear breathed a sigh of relief and continued hunting.

After memorizing the direction the seal was in, they took a deep breath, dived into the water, and began swimming in the direction they had remembered.

Caesar maintained his "too lazy to look" gesture for two seconds before finally turning his gaze to the spot where the bear had disappeared.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, half a minute...

A minute and a half later, Caesar stood up, walked towards the edge of the ice floe, and stood there quietly waiting.

Two minutes later, Caesar lowered his head, pressed his nose tightly against the water's surface, and took two deep sniffs.

The sea, ruffled by the wind, was just a narrow crevice surrounded by ice floes, unable to create any waves. But even so, the bear's scent had vanished from the sea and was now left only in the air.

A hint of something unusual finally appeared in Caesar's brown pupils.

Normal adult polar bears typically spend less than a minute diving for hunting, with some divers reaching two minutes.

More than two minutes...

At this moment, the male bear finally felt a "thump" in his heart, and the image of Guo Mi's claws leaving afterimages appeared in his mind.

Although he felt that the little cub drowning in the sea had nothing to do with her, uh... well, although it was related to him, he was just kindly teaching them how to hunt, so it shouldn't have much to do with him, right?
Caesar snorted and inhaled the cold air into his lungs as he nervously pondered the situation.

However, on the other hand, Guo Mi doesn't consider how much responsibility he bears; she will only angrily swing her claws at him!

Realizing he might have gotten himself into serious trouble, the male bear paced back and forth for a couple of steps, letting out a few anxious grunts. He then couldn't resist burying his nose in the water, trying to catch a whiff of something.

The result was that I inhaled a mouthful of icy water that rushed straight to the top of my head, and I woke up with a headache!

In those brief thirty seconds, Caesar felt as if an entire century had passed. Finally, he plopped down on the edge of the ice city, staring intently at the water, and began to ponder how to cover up his "crimes."

The cave was filled with his own scent, and Guo Mi would know he had been inside as soon as he woke up.

If the little bear goes missing, she'll definitely only look for him.

What kind of lie should he tell, or rather, what kind of reason should he provide to make Guo Mi believe that he didn't do it on purpose?

No, that reason shouldn't exist in this world.

The foolish male bear finally realized at this moment that, because of his actions, his level of trust in Guo Mi was probably almost zero.

Suddenly, the seals not far away seemed to sense something, and frantically moved their bodies toward the ventilation hole, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Caesar didn't have time to deal with it now. He looked up at the sky with a 365-degree gaze of sorrow, never before had he so desperately wanted to see those two annoying little brats appear before him.

Sorry to keep you all waiting.

First, let me explain why this book has been on hiatus for so long. It's true that the new book took up some of my energy. Secondly, there was an accident at home recently. The author's mother and grandmother were both injured by violence and were hospitalized and bedridden. The author needs to take care of them alone.

Grandma is much better now, but Mom still needs to stay in bed to recover.

In short, I apologize again to everyone who has been waiting.
