Daenerys's haul this time was enough for Bear Island to live well for a long time.
Therefore, upon receiving the news, Lord Mormont immediately excitedly directed the longboat team towards the location of the walruses.
To increase speed, they directly threw all the caught fish overboard.
However, this was a boon for Grey Shadow, who loved to eat fish; she cleverly rushed over and swallowed them all.
Finally, to save trouble, Grey Shadow simply stretched her head into the longboats and began to devour them.
This made the brave Bear Island warriors docile, not daring to make a sound or any movement.
Thousands of pounds of fish salvaged by more than a dozen longboats were all devoured by Grey Shadow.
Although the Bear Island longboats were fast, it would still take at least an hour and a half to reach there.
So Daenerys continued to ride Dreamfyre and Little Balerion, searching the northern waters of Ice Bay.
The long summer brought a large amount of nutrients from the warm currents from the south, so the entire Ice Bay was now uncharacteristically full of life.
Small fish and shrimp populations rapidly multiplied and grew, providing ample food for the larger fish and sea beasts.
Therefore, from time to time, one could see playful dolphins leaping out of the water, herds of seals and walruses hunting, and the Whales and giant sharks unique to the northern regions of the Sunset Sea.
When winter comes, and Ice Bay begins to freeze extensively, these giant sea beasts' mobility will be greatly hindered.
The people of Bear Island would then begin to hunt them, but the success rate was not very high.
And often, it would come at a considerable cost in casualties.
However, for dragons, the giant beasts below were merely food for their mouths.
Daenerys first targeted a group of a dozen or so giant sharks.
Seeing the female sharks' bulging bellies, Daenerys knew that the male sharks in the shark group were no longer of much use, so she directed Dreamfyre and Little Balerion to focus on those male sharks.
The first to attack was actually Grey Shadow, who was best at fishing.
After selecting her target, her Dragon Wings slightly retracted, and like a precision sniper, she charged towards a male shark over a dozen meters long.
The cold, damp air condensed into a thick mist on her body, drawing a long white line.
Grey Shadow cleverly crashed into one side of the shark, causing it to immediately flip over.
Then, with a beautiful spinning maneuver, she swooped down again, directly disemboweling the shark.
The giant shark, usually so arrogant in these waters, died with almost no chance to struggle.
Dreamfyre, who had dominated the Narrow Sea for several years, had accumulated rich hunting experience, and her methods were much simpler and more brutal.
Using her size advantage, she directly dived down and snatched a giant shark over a dozen meters long out of the sea.
Then, she bit off its head, tossed it high into the air, roasted it thoroughly with Dragonflame, and then skillfully caught it in her mouth and swallowed it.
Her movements were seamless and incredibly smooth!
Before the shark even sank to the bottom of the sea, Dreamfyre had already rapidly completed her third kill.
Then, she grabbed one with a Dragon Claw and held another in her mouth, lifting them high into the sky.
Little Balerion and his companions, having made a living in the Narrow Sea since childhood, had also accumulated good experience in hunting fish.
So, although their movements were not as efficient as Grey Shadow's, with the force of their dives from high altitude, they easily tore through the sharks' heads.
When they stopped struggling, the three young ones strenuously pulled their trophies out of the sea.
After all, those sharks were even larger than them.
By the time Daenerys returned to the walrus carcass with her new spoils, Lord Mormont and his party had only just arrived in the nearby waters.
Because the meat of these giant sharks was not very palatable, after cutting off their fins, skin, and fat, the six giant sharks were all shared among Dreamfyre and the others.
The Mormont Family longboats were not large and could not even hold the carcass of a single walrus, so they had to butcher the walruses underwater first.
There were too many walruses to process, so Vada and Meggie also stayed to help.
Daenerys, meanwhile, continued to ride the dragons, exploring further north.
From high above Ice Bay, The Wall in the distance was clearly visible.
Even hundreds of kilometers away, Daenerys could clearly sense the surging magical fluctuations emanating from The Wall.
"Truly the greatest structure on Westeros!"
The closer she got to The Wall, the more active Daenerys felt her magic become within her.
Perhaps it was because these giant beasts under her command had all established connections with the Weirwood, they quickly adapted to the cold air of the north.
They did not show the extreme aversion and resistance to this place that other dragons did.
Especially Meraxes, who seemed to thrive even more since arriving in the North.
Over the next two hours, Daenerys hunted many more giant sharks, walruses, and seals.
And she sent them all to the place where the walrus was first hunted.
For lunch, they ate sashimi and grilled fish directly with dragonflame wine.
When Daenerys flew north again, she flew all the way to a Peninsula that the Frostfang Mountains extended into Ice Bay from Beyond the Wall.
Because it was a long summer, and the warm Milk River flowed through the great canyon between the Frostfang Mountains and The Wall, emptying into Ice Bay here.
The Peninsula was now covered with dense grass and wildflowers.
Countless seabirds bred and lived on the nearby cliffs.
The beaches of the Peninsula were home to countless seals, walruses, and various birds unique to the North.
Of course, there were also small rodents like wild rabbits and guinea pigs.
Seizing the opportunity of the long summer, they were enjoying their beautiful lives to the fullest, striving desperately for the continuation and growth of their species.
There were also many whale and shark populations here, but almost all were females with their young.
It seemed this was their breeding sanctuary.
Daenerys did not attack them, as these females and their young carried the mission of their species' continuation, and she did not want to disrupt the balance.
For some unknown reason, as she approached the Frostfang Mountains, an uncontrollable urge arose within Daenerys to fly towards the Eternal Winter Lands in the far north.
When she flew over the Peninsula and arrived at a deeper bay that extended further into the Frostfang Mountains, the marine life here suddenly became much scarcer.
Large marine organisms were almost nonexistent.
It wasn't until Daenerys approached a thousand-meter waterfall cascading from high above in the Frostfang Mountains that she saw a cluster of crimson strange trees over a dozen meters tall.
The magical fluctuations on them were like living beings, somewhat resembling a Weirwood.
So she rode her dragons and flew over, preparing to investigate, but then Meraxes let out an angry roar.
Dreamfyre and the other dragons also became restless.
"Hiss hiss~"
That cluster of giant trees actually moved, and a huge, long-whiskered head suddenly rose from the sea.
