Lu Ao and Song Zhou quickly bid farewell to the blue whale and returned to the boat.

After staying in the water for too long, Lu Ao was so cold that he started to shiver as soon as he got back on the boat.

Song Zhou wrapped him in a big bath towel and helped him to wipe off the water drops on his body. Seeing that the back of his neck was white, and the small particles on his skin were aroused by the cold, he simply reached out to scoop him up and hugged him in his arms.

Song Zhou's body was very hot.

The heat steamed up and wrapped Lu Ao's whole body in it. He gradually recovered, and his hands were not as stiff as before.

Song Zhou kissed him on the top of his hair, "Go take a bath first."

Lu Ao took off the towel, "Then sit here for a while."

No matter how luxurious the facilities on board are, they are not as convenient as those on land.

They take a bath here, and it takes a while to turn on the water heater, and there is a certain amount of bath water that everyone can use, and the water will be automatically cut off after enough water is used.

Lu Ao went in to take a bath, but the hot water was not very hot.

He doesn't know Songzhou's heating skills, so he has to deal with it hastily and forget it.

He was taking a bath when Song Zhou came over and knocked lightly on the bathroom door, "What's wrong?"

"Ok?"

"You don't seem very happy about taking a shower."

Lu Ao muttered in the water, "No, the water is not too hot, and I don't feel very comfortable."

Song Zhou leaned against the door, sending heat continuously, like a large human body heater.

Lu Ao was finally happy after taking a bath in the slightly scalding bath water.

After he finished washing, he put on a new bath towel and came out. The moisture on his body had evaporated, and his skin was very refreshed.

Song Zhou came over and hugged him, "It smells so good."

"Not at all, okay?" Lu Ao leaned on him with a smile in his eyes, "Chemical synthetic shampoo and shower gel are not used here."

"That's your scent."

Song Zhou sniffed at his neck, Lu Ao felt both itchy and hot, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up.

He stretched out his hand against Song Zhou's chest, not knowing whether he wanted to push him back or to pull him back.

Song Zhou hugged him, but did not move further.

Lu Ao was a little puzzled, Song Zhou hugged him tighter, his voice was low and hoarse, "I won't do it today, I will go out with you to play in the afternoon."

Even though Lu Ao didn't say anything, Song Zhou could tell that he liked Haili very much.

If it wasn't for the fact that the sea water was too cold, and he was afraid that the people on board would find out, he wouldn't want to come up at all.

Lu Ao responded sullenly, hugging him and not letting go.

The two went back to the boat and lay down for a while.

When Lu Ao woke up again, it was already past one in the afternoon.

Song Zhou was right next to him, half-embracing him in his arms.

Lu Ao remembered, "Is it already night at home?"

Song Zhou instantly understood what he wanted to say, and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of jet lag."

Lu Ao didn't want to be separated from him at first. Hearing what he said, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Then I'll go get something to eat. After eating, we'll take a nap before going out."

Song Zhou put his hand on his shoulder, "There's nothing to eat on the boat, I'll get it."

Lu Ao took advantage of the situation and lay back again, rolled over on the bed with the quilt in his arms, and looked at him with half of his face covered, "I want to eat fried pork."

"anything else?"

"Not for now."

There are no naked flames on board, and chefs use electricity for cooking.

Compared with rice cooked with open flames, rice cooked with electricity always feels like something is missing, maybe the temperature is not enough or the heat is not right.

After Lu Ao ate a few meals, he still prefers the smoky dishes on land.

Song Zhou came back quickly, carrying a large suitcase in his hand, which contained freshly baked four meals, one soup and a large pot of rice.

Lu Ao put the food on the fixed table with him.

The boat was still swaying at the moment, Songzhou used some tricks to fix the food, especially the soup, it couldn't be spilled no matter how swaying it was.

Lu Ao was satisfied with his meal, his eyes narrowed, and his whole temperament softened visibly to the naked eye.

Song Zhou never ate much. Compared with the dishes on the table, he seemed to eat with Lu Ao. Every time he ate with Lu Ao, he always ate more.

After eating and taking a nap, after two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ao got up and went to see Lin Qiyan, let the people on the boat know that he was fine and nothing happened, so he slipped back again, stripped off his clothes and urged Songzhou to take him to the go to sea.

Their ship has sailed a certain distance in the past few hours, and it is no longer near the iceberg where they stopped in the morning.

Song Zhou found a suitable iceberg to bring Lu Ao down again.

They are now closer to the South Pole and cooler.

Lu Ao's human form couldn't stand such a low temperature. Once he reached the iceberg, he turned into a dragon form and jumped into the sea skillfully.

He swam a few laps in the sea, stretched his arms and legs fully, swam over with a whistling sound, leaned against the iceberg and raised his head to ask Song Zhou, his voice was brisk, "Is there any place you want to go? I'll take you there."

Song Zhou ticked his chin, "No. You can go anywhere."

The iceberg Songzhou chose was a little far away from the scientific research ship. Standing on the iceberg, he could already see the Antarctic continent at the far end.

The distance was too far, and with their eyesight, they could only see a line.

That was already sea level.

Lu Ao saw it too, and he stretched his neck, "Why don't we swim towards the Antarctic continent?"

"Okay, but looking at it up close, it will take a long time to really swim over."

"It's okay, let's try first." Lu Ao was eager to try, and flicked his tail to urge him, "The biological resources here are very rich, let's swim there and see what we can see."

Song Zhou asked with a smile, "What do you want to see?"

"Anything is fine, depending on fate."

Song Zhou sat on Lu Ao.

Lu Ao let out a long roar, swung his tail, and led Song Zhou to swim to the distant Antarctic continent.

Now that Lu Ao has grown up a bit, the color on his body has become more intense. The original turquoise scales have turned dark green, which looks very restrained and luxurious.

Song Zhou gently touched his scales, the scales were smooth and cold, like beautiful jade, very pleasant to the touch.

"Itchy." Lu Ao protested, shaking his body.

Song Zhou smiled, and hugged him tightly instead.

Lu Ao basically swims on the sea.

Along the way, he saw many fish and seabirds.

These fish and seabirds were of different colors, and he didn't quite recognize them, but they were all novel.

It's always fun to explore the unknown while still being safe.

Lu Ao wagged his tail, turned his head all the way, and looked around.

"Hey, what's that over there?"

Lu Ao suddenly saw a yellow spot on the distant sea.

The macula was not very obvious, but it was quite large and seemed to be moving.

Lu Ao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the red tide pollution he had encountered before.

Could it be that the red tide has spread to the Antarctic?

Seeing him worried, Song Zhou said, "It seems that it's not a red tide, but some kind of creature."

"Such a large area, it doesn't look like it." Lu Ao wagged his tail vigorously, "I'll swim over, hold on tightly."

Song Zhou has good balance and is not afraid of being thrown off by Lu Ao, but at this moment he still smiled and hugged Lu Ao tightly.

Lu Ao flicked his tail again, and rode the wind and waves forward at a speed about three times faster than before.

After swimming for more than ten minutes, he quickly discovered that it was indeed not a red tide, but a zooplankton, a large group of krills gathered together.

The sea here is very clean, the sea water is grayish blue, and the abrupt krills are very obvious on the sea surface.

There were so many krills in this group that they gathered together and dyed the sea water in another color.

Lu Ao looked at the krill in shock.

For those who have never seen krill, it is basically hard to imagine that there is any creature that can fill a sea.

This group of krill directly covered several square nautical miles!

Only then did Lu Ao remember that it was summer in Antarctica.

The algae here are growing wildly, bringing precious food to the krill.

And the krills reproduced wildly, and provided a big meal for the sea fish that had been hungry all winter.

When Lu Ao swam closer, he realized that there were many fish nearby that were preying on krill.

The school of fish frantically chased the krills. Following their movements, the krills moved to the left for a while, and moved to the right for a while, gathering and dispersing and then closing together, desperately avoiding the surrounding predators.

Krills are small, but they have many predators, and these predators are not one or some fish, they are fish in groups.

The number of these fish seems to be extremely large, densely packed, all over the entire sea area.

Lu Ao quickly recognized that it was Antarctic herring, the fish with the highest proportion in Antarctica.

He stopped swimming, floated on the surface of the water and looked at the sea area from afar.

Krill and Antarctic herring are present, and soon there will be other predators.

They waited for a while, and white bubbles appeared on the sea surface.

The bubbles slowly gathered together, like a string of pearls floating up out of thin air on the sea.

Lu Ao looked at the bubbles and said, "It's a humpback whale."

When fish and shrimps are dense, humpback whales will swim upward in a spiral at a depth of about 15 meters underwater, and spit out large and small air bubbles to create a bubble net to trap prey.

Both of them have very good eyesight. Even if they are far away, they can clearly see that among the krill and herring, there is a group of humpback whales spitting out bubbles one after another. The big mouth, like a black hole, swallowed the fish and shrimp in front of the mouth.

Humpback whales move slowly, even lazily.

They just swam slowly, herding groups of krill and herring together, and swallowing them in big gulps.

When they finish swallowing the fish, they make a singing sound, which is very nice.

For some reason, Lu Ao immediately thought of the siren's singing.

Lu Ao turned to look at Song Zhou, "Are we going there?"

Humpback whales are very gentle and generally do not attack large creatures, and they have been fine in the past.

Song Zhou said: "Come on, let's take a closer look."

Seeing these behemoths up close is a completely different experience than seeing them from afar.

Lu Ao is approaching.

The humpbacks soon spotted them.

A humpback whale chirps.

Lu Ao didn't feel any malice, he let go of his consciousness and tried to communicate with these humpback whales.

To his somewhat surprise, the humpbacks were a little smarter than he had imagined, and they welcomed them almost immediately.

So far, the consciousness of all the marine creatures that Lu Ao has encountered is not clear enough. They have almost no choices after thinking, but vague instinctive reactions.

Wanting to get close to Lu Ao is probably the same as their instinct to eat and fight against the enemy, it is something that goes deep into their bones.

As Lu Ao swam past, the humpback whales began to cry, with a faint melody in their calls.

They sounded visibly happier.

There are many krills and herrings around, and they swim towards Lu'ao while eating.

The humpback whales were not in Lu Ao's aesthetic point of view. These big guys looked a little ugly and cute. When they swam over and acted like a baby, they looked like a large group of dogs.

Lu Ao was still in the shape of a dragon, he stretched out his claws, and humpback whales touched them one by one.

The humpback whales came to rub him carefully, docile and cute.

Lu Ao is longer than these humpback whales.

The humpback whales were not afraid of him. Instead, they called out various sounds, desperately trying to attract his attention, as if they were fighting for favor.

Lu Ao couldn't help smiling, the skin around the eyes was squeezed, and the clear eyes were slightly curved.

He touched a certain humpback whale in front of him again, and looked down at these big guys with very gentle eyes.
