Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 236: For Your Majesty (51)

Dragon Raja 5

Caesar was a little embarrassed. No girl in his life had ever dared to talk to him like that. But in front of Jude Mai, he had to admit that he did feel that there was a question in Jude Mai’s story, but he just couldn’t figure it out.

“What tool did that guy use to communicate with you?” asked Finger.

“Sometimes we shouldn’t underestimate the intelligence of canines.” Jiude Mai touched Finger’s head. The igloo was too small, so doing this was just a piece of cake.

Finger, “Woof woof!”

Caesar understood immediately, “He contacted you only after he saw the aurora. He had no communication tools at that time!”

Jude Mai nodded. “Yes, he went to the sealed research station and activated the long-wave transmitter there. Long waves travel along the Earth’s surface, and the ionization field above the atmosphere can’t interfere with them.”

“So that scientific research station does exist!” Caesar couldn’t help but sound happy.

Now they need to establish contact with the outside world so much. The suspicion between each other and the fear of mysterious threats will all collapse as contact with the outside world is restored.

But he immediately restrained the corner of his mouth that was about to smile. In front of Jiude Mai, he seemed to be always being led around. His surprise and joy were all within Jiude Mai’s expectations.

I really don’t know who the boss behind this girl is. How could such a smart and proud girl be loyal to someone?

“Of course, if it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have followed you off the ship. The place you are going is also where I want to go. Our contemporary John Stephens has been there before and might have left some information there,” said Jiude Mai.

Caesar fished out the nautical chart torn from the navigation manual from his winter coat, studied it for a while, and shook his head, “It’s a pity that we can’t tell the direction now…”

Jiude Mai took the map and tore it up. “This map is useless now. We should be close to the research station.”

“Do you know the direction?” Caesar didn’t mind Jiude Mai tearing up the map. Everyone was trapped on this ice field, and no one needed to suspect anyone else.

“I don’t know, but you don’t necessarily need directions to find your way. Didn’t you notice? We saw S-shaped tracks on the road we took to get here.”

Caesar and Finger looked at each other. They had indeed not noticed that the polar night had begun. Although there was still a faint light reflected by the atmosphere in the sky, visibility was very poor.

“Guess what, am I really building this snow house to block the polar bear’s sense of smell?” Jiude Mai said slowly.

Caesar shuddered violently.

The igloo can block the sense of smell of polar bears and other predators, but besides polar bears, what other animals can threaten them in the ice and snow of the Arctic?

What animal would leave S-shaped traces?

It’s those dark blue snakes!

Looking back, Jiude Mai had been leading the way all along the way, and she had been following the tracks left by the giant snakes! If they continued walking like this, wouldn’t they have arrived at the snakes’ lair?

“During the captain’s last call, the background noise was gunfire, dense gunfire. Polar bears are the most dangerous predators in the Arctic Circle, and they don’t usually act in groups. What threat could have forced them to use so many bullets?” Jiude Mai said slowly, “It must have been those snakes, right? They went to Valhalla and alarmed the guards inside. The guards weren’t the big-breasted, butch-butted Valkyries, but those giant snakes. They arrived at the research station, were overtaken by the snakes, and a battle broke out there. Haven’t you ever wondered where that black ship came from? That’s the expedition team’s ship. They didn’t abandon it voluntarily, but it was occupied by the snakes and turned into a snake den.”

“So that research station is actually a snake pit,” said Caesar.

“It should be. I hope there are fewer guests.” Jude Mai glanced at Caesar and took out a black metal rod from his backpack. One end of the metal rod had a sharp spike.

She drove the metal rod deep into the ice between the three of them. “Master Gattuso, what do you think those snakes in this damn place eat to grow so big?”

Caesar thought for a moment, “Blue whales also eat schools of fish, shrimp, and plankton, and can grow to over 30 meters.”

“If I’m not mistaken, those snakes are feeding in the sea near us now. Do you want to try to listen?” Jude Mai smiled as brightly as a spring flower.

Caesar pressed his jaw against the cold metal cone, closed his eyes and listened.

Beethoven, the great musician of his time, used a similar method to hear after he became deaf: biting a wooden stick to channel sound directly into his skull. Jude Mai’s metal cone was even more effective. At that moment, all the sounds from the ice surface and beneath it within a radius of several kilometers were transmitted through this cone into Caesar’s skull. His language spirit was the “Kamaweasel,” and his hearing was already far more acute than that of an average person.

After a moment, Caesar stood up with a serious expression.

“What’s going on, boss?” Finger looked nervous.

“I didn’t hear anything.” Caesar shook his head. “It’s very quiet under the ice.”

“It was as if we had broken into an alien lair, but in the end there was no trace of any ghost.” Finger breathed a sigh of relief.

“This isn’t normal. When we encountered Leviathan, we could see schools of Arctic cod under the ice, but here it’s so quiet under the ice, like a grave.”

“Because those snakes just fed here not long ago. They’re enormous, and the amount of calories they consume every day is terrifying. The area they’ve been feeding in probably doesn’t even have any krill left, let alone Arctic cod,” Jude Mai said. “And why the area where we encountered the Leviathan is so full of marine life, haven’t you figured it out yet?”

“Those big snakes are Leviathan’s food!” Caesar said slowly.

“That’s right, so those big snakes dare not appear where Leviathan passes. And Leviathan does not eat Arctic cod, and schools of Arctic cod may even swim with it. As long as it doesn’t sing the kind of song that brings extreme cold, it is actually safest to follow it.” said Jude Mai.

Finger was stunned for a moment, his face pale. “Then how big is this Leviathan?”     

“The weight of land animals is limited by the load-bearing capacity of their bones, but marine animals have buoyancy to support their bodies and can grow indefinitely. Some people have inferred, based on the suction cup scars on sperm whales, that there may be giant squids over 80 meters long in the deep sea,” said Caesar.
