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

Chapter 88 lost all strength and claws
Guo Mi looked much older in a short period of time.

The world is so cruel. Every time she finally gets to enjoy a few good days, they are immediately destroyed by natural changes.

After this happened several times, Guo Mi felt that she was not born into this world to start a wonderful life, but to undergo a tribulation.

I just don't know how many tribulations Tang Sanzang faced compared to hers. Besides, now that the country has been established, animals are not allowed to become spirits.

For example, even though she had already transformed from a human into a bear, she hadn't become a brown bear spirit or anything like that. So Guo Mi felt that even if she completed her tribulation, she probably wouldn't become an immortal. At most, she would go from a novice bear to a seasoned bear, a different age but the same bad luck.

Guo Mi stood in front of the flooded water source, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, exuding an air of melancholy.

The two little bears didn't understand what was happening, but they were already captivated by Guo Mi's "mysterious aura" and thought her action was incredibly majestic, so they sat beside her with great admiration.

Guo Mi's contemplation of the bear's life by looking up at the sky didn't last long.

...Because the sun peeked out from the clouds, it was so dazzling that it brought tears to my eyes.

She held on for a moment but couldn't hold on any longer. She quickly lowered her head, blinked hard twice to control the tears that were about to fall, composed herself, and then turned to the little bear as if nothing had happened, saying:

"Let's go find something to eat somewhere else."

Finding another food source in a short time would be difficult. The wicked bear thought and thought, and its malicious gaze fell once again on the birds on the island.

Practice makes perfect, and Guo Mi skillfully rushed into the bird colony.

There are no more bird eggs now, but there are chicks!

Of course, Guo Mi didn't intend to use those little guys to fill her teeth, but since the eggs had now grown into chicks, the bird parents' resistance would only become more and more frantic and radical.

As long as she stands among the flock of birds, without even scratching the smaller birds, the adult birds will do everything in their power to drive her away.

A moment later, Guo Mi rushed out of the flock with two frantic little birds in her beak.

She is now very experienced and knows that if she stays any longer, the flock will definitely resort to more extreme methods of driving them away.

She still vividly remembers the smell of bird droppings.

Crazy Birds are too small to sustain a living on, so Guo Mi wants to find birds that are larger.

The polar day has ended. Although the days are still long and the nights are short, night will come again.

Guo Mi, leading the little bear, braved the onslaught of the crazy birds, crossed the rocky beach and cliffs, and finally arrived at a low-lying area.

This low-lying area connects to the sea and is wide and flat, so even after a day and a night of torrential rain, the water level remained within a controllable range.

The water level just covered the second joint of Guo Mi's forelimbs and submerged the bear cub's belly.

In fact, Guo Mi didn't have much hope for that place, because most of the birds that nest there are waterbirds, and the heavy rain might cause them to abandon their nests and flee.

But the actual situation was beyond Guo Mi's expectations!

The depression was thriving, with all sorts of birds mixed together, heads bowed, searching for something in the water.

The appearance of Guo Mi and Little Bear startled some birds into the sky, but this was just a minor incident. They quickly returned to the nearby area and kept dipping their heads into the water.

Guo Mi noticed their movements, lowered her head and brought her eyes close to the water's surface, only to discover that many small fish were darting around the roots of the aquatic plants.

A surprised voice came from beside my ear:
"Guo Mi, there are so many fish in the water!"

This fish looked familiar. Guo Mi squinted and looked at it for a while before recognizing it as a capelin!
It also has another name, hairy fish, and can often be seen in the market. However, most of the ones that Guo Mi saw were already frozen. I didn't expect to be able to see them alive here now.

It seems that the strong winds and waves caused by the thunderstorm swept these helpless little fish here. This low-lying area has many aquatic plants, and their dense roots are like a natural fishing net, trapping them here.

Birds gather here to enjoy nature's bounty and feast on its bounty.

Guo Mi lowered her head and submerged her mouthpiece in the water. There were so many fish below that they seemed to swim right into her mouth, making them easy to eat. The two little bears imitated her, lowering their heads to search for trapped fish among the dense roots.

The capelin is very small, reaching a maximum length of eight centimeters, which is only a small snack for a bear weighing hundreds of kilograms.

But its advantage lies in its large quantity!
Guo Mi and Little Bear followed the flock of birds and caught fish in the low-lying area for several hours, which was enough to make them half full.

However, even the largest school of fish could not withstand the combined attack of three bears and tens of thousands of birds, and within three days, there were very few left.

Guo Mi and Little Bear stood in the water, their noses pressed tightly against the surface, sniffing constantly, their eyes intently fixed on the bottom, trying not to miss any "fish that slipped through the net".

The afternoon's harvest was meager, and the bears returned dejectedly.

During their journey, they passed by a cave entrance that had been abandoned due to flooding. Guo Mi stopped as if possessed and stuck her head inside to take a look.

The cave was still filled with water, with one or two withered leaves floating on the murky surface, reflecting the light coming in from the cave entrance.

Even though it was a hole that had already been abandoned and was unusable even if the water dried up, Guo Mi, for some reason, used her claws to pry open the hole, trying to enlarge it so that the water could flow out faster.

Who knew that the entire cave entrance would collapse the next second, and the muddy slurry mixed with stones would fall into the silty water in a mess. The mud that splashed up was very sticky and could not fly very high, landing directly on Guo Mi's claws.

The giant furball, feeling dejected, stood still for a long time, staring at the unrecognizable hole, its aura suddenly dropping.

The two little bears looked a bit scared and sat in the back without making a sound.

The energy she had finally mustered finally dissipated. Guo Mi took a deep breath and suddenly felt as if she had lost all her strength and claws.

She was plunged into an unprecedented state of confusion and bewilderment, suddenly not knowing what to do or wanting to do anything.

They were too lazy to dig a cave anymore, they slept wherever they could find shelter from the wind, and they no longer racked their brains to find food. Their minds were filled with the idea of ​​"just getting by" and if they couldn't make it, they would just give up.

Every day, I would wander aimlessly with my teddy bear, taking a bite of food whenever I found it, and going hungry when there was none.

Most of the time, I find a sunny spot and lazily lie there.

This is actually the normal life of a bear, but it becomes completely abnormal when applied to Guo Mi.

She always does whatever comes to mind, full of energy every day, always on the go. Now, seeing her so listless, even Little Bear is wondering if she's sick.

During that time, I did run into Caesar and Slok a few times. Each time, Slok would excitedly run over to greet me, while Caesar would watch from a distance.

Guo Mi sat listlessly to the side, watching the two little bears and Slok play for a while, her eyes half-closed as if she were about to fall asleep.

After a few encounters, even Slok noticed that something was wrong with her and secretly asked Little Bear what was going on, avoiding her gaze.

The little bear glanced at her worriedly and quietly recounted the recent events to Slok.

Slok's eyes immediately filled with sympathy as he looked at Guo Mi.

In the evening, Caesar caught two foxes from somewhere, and Slok immediately "voluntarily" claimed one of them, lowered his head and took a couple of bites, then suddenly sighed:
"Oh, poor Guo Mi."

Caesar paused for a moment while tearing at the fox fur, but quickly resumed. His teeth easily pierced the fur, revealing the bright red flesh inside, which he tore off and chewed.

Slok muttered to himself again:

"I finally learned how to hunt reindeer, but then the next rain flooded the pond, and I don't know where to find the reindeer."

Caesar listened in silence, his chewing movements becoming slower and slower.

Slok raised a paw and poked at his fox, then muttered something as if he had just remembered something:
"It seems the cave was also flooded, and I heard it even collapsed. We've been sleeping outside for several days now!"

Slok, with his back to Caesar, sighed deeply. Hearing the chewing sounds that had stopped behind him, he chuckled and lowered his head to begin his own dinner.
