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

Chapter 85 Deer hunting! !
Another bear suddenly appearing!
After a second or two of silence, the deer herd by the water suddenly exploded, like a drop of oil being poured into a pot of oil!

The mother deer anxiously called to her fawn; the fawn was lost in the restless herd, looking around; the strong stags had already fled; the older deer silently ran towards the younger ones, seeking refuge.

Guo Mi weaved through the chaotic herd of deer, her target being the four deer she had just circled!
Unfortunately, by the time she got close, a deer had already jumped out of her attack range.

Guo Mi immediately abandoned it and focused her attention on the remaining three deer.

There was no specific target, nor was there any obvious purpose to force them towards the water; they simply blocked all other directions except for the rocky area and the water's edge.

By the time the three deer realized what was happening, they only had two choices left: either jump into the water or leap over the boulder.

Having already witnessed bears hunting in the water, only one deer chose to jump into the water, while the other two stepped onto the boulder slope without hesitation.

Guo Mi completely ignored the deer that had jumped into the water and pretended to follow it up the rocky slope.

The reindeer leaped nimbly across the boulders, quickly leaving her behind!
Seeing that there was no way to catch up with them, Guo Mi was not worried at all. She continued to make a show of force at the bottom of the rocky slope, roaring as if she wanted to climb up.

The powerful roar of the bear threw the two deer into disarray, and they dared not linger any longer, leaping higher and higher...

A series of small stones fell to the ground, and a huge rock suddenly rolled down. The deer on the rock was swept away before it could react. It fell onto the next layer of rocks and before it could get up again, it was hit by the rolling stones!
The sudden turn of events startled another reindeer lagging behind on the hillside, causing it to panic and lose its footing. Its hind leg slipped and became stuck in a deep, narrow crevice in the rocks. A crisp "crack" of bone breaking was drowned out by the sound of the continuous impact.

Guo Mi had already dodged the falling stones in time and retreated to a safe place to watch from a distance.

When the last stone rolled down and everything calmed down, she slowly approached and waited for a long time to make sure no more stones were rolling down before carefully climbing up the stone slope.

She followed the same method as before, first stepping on each stone with her paws to make sure it was stable before climbing up.

The deer with its broken hind leg is still alive.

But it could no longer stand up. Lying on the rock, it cried out pitifully, its plump deer eyes glistening with tears as it watched Guo Mi approach, its eyes filled with despair.

Guo Mi gave it one last bite.

The wailing reindeer struggled slightly, its eyes filled with resentment. Its clear eyes gradually became cloudy, and finally, it fell silent.

To prevent a secondary collapse, Guo Mi did not forcefully drag the prey. Instead, she constantly adjusted the angle to pull the broken deer leg out of the gap before slowly dragging its carcass down the rocky slope.

Two bear cubs were already waiting at the bottom of the rocky slope.

Guo Mi didn't let them get too close to the boulder slope, and ordered them to drag the deer carcass to a more distant place before turning his gaze to the carcass of the trained deer.

These are the first reindeer hit by falling rocks.

Half of its body was pinned down by a rock, and its outer contour was somewhat dented, indicating that its bones were likely broken.

To be honest, the collapse of the boulder was completely unexpected by Guo Mi.

She initially drove the reindeer onto the pile of stones because these stones had few sharp edges and most of their surfaces were smooth. Because the reindeer's hooves had hardened keratin, they would easily slip on such stones.

Whether you fall or just happen to get stuck in a crevice, you'll end up in Guo Mi's claws.

This is an opportunity she created for herself.

However, fewer sharp edges and a smooth surface also mean instability.

These piles of stones are more likely to collapse than the piles of stones where the goslings fell!
Guo Mi hesitated for a moment, then raised her paw and climbed a few steps onto the pile of stones.

The rocks remained relatively stable until halfway up the slope, but they became noticeably looser as you went higher. A bear can weigh two or even three times that of a reindeer, so Guo Mi eventually withdrew her paws and returned the way she came.

Next, Guo Mi tried to climb up from all directions, attempting to find a stable path to the top, but each time the first half was safe and sound, while the second half was shaky.

Once you climb to a certain height, the rock becomes unstable.

After two hours of stubbornness, Guo Mi finally gave up, sat down at the foot of the stone slope, and looked up, sighing as she gazed at the deer.

It wasn't that she didn't want it, but her life was more important.

After taking one last look at the deer atop the rocky slope, Guo Mi sighed regretfully, shook her head, and walked towards the little bear.

Although they lost one reindeer, the remaining one is enough for them to have a good meal.

Guo Mi took a bite of the juicy reindeer hind leg and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

The two bear cubs were still struggling with the deer hide, painstakingly extracting the meager amount of fat from under the skin, carefully savoring each bite.

It seems that even polar bears raised by brown bears prefer rich fat to meat.

Unfortunately, reindeer are not high-fat animals to begin with, and it's summer now.

After a delicious meal, the once intact reindeer was reduced to a skeleton, while the two bear cubs lingered, sucking on the scraps of meat and remaining blood.

Guo Mi gave them the wreckage and went into the water herself.

First, she wanted to clean the blood off her body, and second, she planned to take advantage of the warm weather and clean water to resume her swimming training.

She insisted on taking the teddy bear on an ice floe at least once.

This is essential for both her and the bear cub; they both need to learn how to hunt seals and survive on the ice.

After all, that is the primary way of life for polar bears.

For the rest of the time, Guo Mi hunted by driving reindeer up the boulder.

For safety, she never climbed to the top of the rocky slope, thus forgoing some of her prey.

These remaining prey attracted other small carnivores, such as foxes, and birds of prey from the sky.

Guo Mi then discovered that besides the Arctic foxes that become ugly in the summer, this land also has red foxes like those in the forest. They are relatively small in size, and their bright fur shines in the sunlight, making them very beautiful.

These little creatures are lightweight and don't have slippery feet like deer. They can move freely through the crevices of rocks and easily climb up slopes to enjoy prey that Guo Mi can't reach.

Guo Mi most often saw a red fox with cubs. It had smooth body lines and glossy fur, and was very beautiful. It often stayed around with its cubs, looking to see if it could pick up any of Guo Mi's leftover prey.

When food is plentiful, Guo Mi generally has no intention of killing these beautiful little animals.

Most of the time, after a hearty meal, they take advantage of the fact that the deer are startled and won't return for a short time to practice swimming in the water.

On rare occasions, I would take my bear cub and wait at the foot of the rocky slope, counting how many kinds of small animals came that day, to pass the time, making my life much lighter.

For a period of time, Guo Mi not only fed the little bear, but also fattened up all the carnivorous animals around her.
