When this footage was edited into a video and presented, everyone was overjoyed.
[I really didn't expect it. Joe's back in heat. It's quite surprising news.]
But seeing how listless Qiao looks, I'm still really worried.
Arctic foxes typically only have a few months of mating season, and they're very vigorous in the early stages but become less active later. Joe just needs to get through this period.
However, to my surprise, after so much time has passed, the drone still hasn't been retrieved.
[Oh my goodness, in this chase, Jun can't even outrun Qiao. What a waste of such a big guy.]
[I thought they weren't planning to continue following me after their sudden stop updating, but it turns out the drone ran out of power and they still haven't gotten it back.]
I wonder how you would react if a male Arctic fox suddenly appeared right now.
...
What kind of reaction could there be?
If a male Arctic fox were to actually appear...
Jun Qi: Let's try this fox meat tonight!
Animals rarely eat each other, although it does happen, but it is very rare.
Jun Qi watched the little fox running ahead, wondering how long it had been running and how it was still so lively. It was truly rare to see such a creature.
This amount of exercise was nothing to Jun Qi, as he had run past the little fox before. But even so, the fox didn't stop. It just came over, lightly brushed against him like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then continued running.
This gesture seems to be saying: Keep it up!
Previously, when the two of them migrated, their speed was not very fast, but this time, thanks to Xu Qiaoqiao's actions, their progress has been shortened considerably.
When Xu Qiaoqiao felt it was about time, she finally stopped.
She relented, put down the drone, turned around, and waited for the chubby figure to run towards her.
"Ugh!"
Jun Qi caught up and saw the little fox sitting there properly. He looked over with curiosity, quickened his pace, rushed to the little fox, and then stopped just centimeters away from it.
He tried to imitate Xu Qiaoqiao's movements, but it was a bit difficult for him, so he simply sat down and grabbed her with his chubby bear paws, pulling her into his arms.
"Woo-woo-ee-ee~" he made that sound again.
Xu Qiaoqiao was both amused and exasperated. Fortunately, this big guy was easy to coax; a kiss or a rub was all it took.
She feels much better now after exercising, but the relief will only last a short while. This heat cycle is really awful!
But if we keep going at this pace, we should be able to reach Hudson Bay before the ice melts, or within a day or two after it melts.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Moreover, if we can get there sooner, we can find a better place to settle down, which would be perfect.
Jun Qi had no idea what Xu Qiaoqiao was thinking, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter. He was a bear without any direction, and it was very lucky that he had survived all these years.
The researchers had studied all of these things, since polar bears are animals that spend most of their time on ice, especially during the hot summer months.
After the ice melted, Jun swam a long distance and then, very luckily, came across an island and a lone seal.
This happens all the time. If it were any other polar bear, it would probably have perished at sea long ago. It doesn't even understand the rules of migration, although this kind of behavior is very cool.
Now that the little fox is leading the way, Jun Qi also feels very good. His memories of being with his mother when he was young are very vague, and he was indeed very young when he left his mother.
Before Jun Qi could even ask why the other party suddenly made this move, he was kissed away by the little fox. These past few days, due to their heat cycle, they hadn't had any intimate interactions.
Moreover, the little fox was faintly emanating a scent that hadn't been there before, and Jun Qi found it quite interesting as he smelled it.
As he was thinking this, his nose suddenly twitched, and he looked in a certain direction.
A seal has appeared ahead!
"Hee hee!" Jun Qi said happily to Xu Qiaoqiao, then pointed to a spot. Xu Qiaoqiao looked over and sure enough, there was a plump seal there, a truly unexpected delight.
After all, for so long, she and Junjun had only been eating seafood from time to time.
She had assumed there weren't many animals on this piece of sea ice, but she had indeed forgotten that many of the animals here could swim.
"Hee hee!" I'll go catch it for you!
Jun Qi's eyes sparkled. He released Xu Qiaoqiao and rushed towards the seal, but he knew how to hide himself along the way. He was experienced in catching seals, and Xu Qiaoqiao was not worried at all that Jun Qi would fail to catch the seal.
As it happened, she had been running for so long and was hungry, so she obediently stayed there and waited for Jun Qi to return.
This workout wasn't as strenuous as the one at Blue Whale, thanks to Xu Qiaoqiao's previous decision to lose weight. Although it didn't work, it still had some benefits.
Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't bear to leave the leftover seal meat there after they finished eating; it would be such a waste, especially since she and Junjun didn't catch food very often.
After finishing her meal, Xu Qiaoqiao squatted down in front of the seal, wondering what she should do. Should she take it with her when she ran away?
That's probably...unrealistic.
Jun Qi watched the little fox looking so deep and dazed, sitting beside him in a adorable daze, playing with the drone by itself; some parts of its wings already had cracks.
"Ugh."
In the end, Xu Qiaoqiao still couldn't think of a solution. Once they reached land, they would have to find a place to store food.
In the following days, Xu Qiaoqiao maintained this rapid pace of travel, and Jun Qi gradually adapted to this speed. The feeling of running was not bad, and sometimes he would continue running even without Xu Qiaoqiao in front.
Time passed quietly, and April slowly arrived. At this time, the temperature rose a lot, the sun hung high overhead, and the sea ice melted much faster.
By the end of April, Xu Qiaoqiao felt that the inexplicable restlessness had finally disappeared, followed by a sense of powerlessness, as if her body had been hollowed out.
Combined with the energy from the previous period...
Xu Qiaoqiao: I think I understand a little bit now, why this is the case.
At this point, if things were to proceed normally, she would become pregnant after mating with the ambitious Arctic fox.
Ugh, so annoying.
Because of this incident, Xu Qiaoqiao has been clinging to Jun Qi's neck for the past few days.
