"What is that?" Jiang Xingchen exclaimed in a low voice. A black bulge appeared on the sea surface in his sight. Although it was difficult to see what it was from a distance, it was definitely a huge thing.
The old man was also attracted by Jiang Xingchen's exclamation. When he saw something in the distance, he immediately became alert. The eighth-level master of vitality had much better eyesight than Jiang Xingchen and could tell at a glance that it was a living thing.
"It can't be a monster, right?" The old man came up with this idea and shook his head again. This is a shallow sea, and monsters will not come, let alone such a big one.
"Old man, can you see what it is?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"Most of it is in the water, so you can't see it, but it should be a living thing!" the old man replied.
"Why don't living things move?" Jiang Xingchen was like a curious baby at this moment.
"I didn't know!" The old man rolled his eyes at Jiang Xingchen angrily and said, "It's better to do less than to do more. Who cares, let's leave quickly! I don't know what I'm doing at sea!"
As he was speaking, there was a sudden muffled sound in the distance, and a column of water visible to the naked eye spurted upward, reaching a height of tens of meters, and then fell like rain.
"Whale!" Jiang Xingchen's eyes suddenly widened. This water column was so obvious that he had seen it countless times on TV in his previous life!
"It's really a whale!" With a shout, the sailors on the ship gathered around. They had also discovered the huge thing just now, but they couldn't see it because of the distance. Now when they saw such an obvious sign, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"This is a shallow sea, how can there be whales?" Many crew members wondered. They have been traveling on the sea all year round and have never seen whales in shallow waters.
"Yes, and why does it keep moving?"
"That place in front is a sandbar island..." an old sailor spoke, pointing in the distance and excitedly said: "That's right, it's there. Every time the tide goes out at night, the sandbar will be revealed, and when the tide rises in the morning, the island will be submerged!"
A group of sailors all looked happy and said loudly: "This means that the whale must have been stranded. What a good opportunity!"
"This is literally delivered to your door. I've made a fortune this time. I'm afraid a whale is worth millions!"
"Millions. Are you kidding me? Most of the species of whales are monsters! There are more than 10 million monsters this big!"
"Don't worry about it. Cetacean monsters are all very high-level. Even if it's trapped, it's not something we can solve. When the time comes, we'll all be involved!"
"Yes, even if it dies, our ship won't be able to transport it..."
"Shut up!" Wang Yan, who was in charge of this voyage, came over. His face was full of anger, and everyone looked so greedy for money. It made Jiang Xingchen and the old man think of the Wang family.
As soon as Wang Yan opened his mouth, everyone fell silent and woke up from the excitement of the windfall. This wealth had nothing to do with sailors like them, and it belonged to the Wang family.
"Is the whale a monster?" Jiang Xingchen asked in a low voice.
"Some are, some are not!" The old man is well-informed and has read countless classics. Of course he knows. So he explained to Jiang Xingchen: "Whales belong to the upper level of the food chain in the ocean, and most of them are monsters. And the level
Quite high, especially killer whales! The level is as high as twenty-three, and they are also classified as overlords in the ocean... Of course, the real high-level monsters are just like the depths of the vast mountains, they are all in the deep sea, where is the
The truly terrifying place…”
Jiang Xingchen nodded while listening, but kept staring at the giant creature in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Wang Yan came over and bowed: "Sir, what do you think should be done?"
Wang Yan's attitude is very upright. The value of this whale is very high, and he is also greedy. But Jiang Xingchen is here, and everything belongs to Jiang Xingchen. As the next actual helmsman of the Wang family, he is very experienced in doing things.
Jiang Xingchen smiled, patted Wang Yan on the shoulder, and ordered: "Send the boat over, and I'll go see the whale!"
"This..." Wang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, there are shoals there, and our ship can't get through them!"
"Then change the boat!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Sir, this... if it is a monster, it would be too dangerous!" This is what Wang Yan is worried about!
"Boy, be careful..." The old man also advised from the side. Even if it was close to the shore, it was still the sea, so he really didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, didn't you see this whale trapped? How could it be a monster! I just went over to have a look!" Jiang Xingchen didn't take it seriously. He had never seen a whale with his own eyes in his two lifetimes, and he had not gathered his energy.
, generally any monster that does not exceed level 25 can hardly resist the temptation.
Seeing that Jiang Xingchen was determined to go, Wang Yan could only nod and tell the sailors to put down the boat. Naturally, the old man had to follow.
The small boat carried the two of them staggeringly close to the behemoth. The sea looked not far away, but in fact the distance was not close at all.
As he gradually approached, Jiang Xingchen felt the pressure getting stronger and stronger. This whale was really too big. It might exceed thirty meters by visual inspection, which was even lower than the largest blue whale on earth. It was like a hill above the water.
.Compared with this, my boat is as small as an ant.
Although the whale was trapped in Qian Tan and could not move, it seemed to feel that someone was approaching. It made strange calls one after another, and faint energy fluctuations could be seen on the surface of its body.
"What a monster!" The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed Jiang Xingchen: "Boy, why don't I go take a look, and you go back first!"
"It's okay! You still don't know how I can deal with monsters!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and let the boat continue to approach.
The further you go, the bigger the whale becomes in your sight, and the more oppressive it feels.
When the rowing sailor and the old man saw the white diamond-shaped markings on both sides of the whale's head and the white belly looming underwater, they almost screamed at the same time: "Killer whale!"
"Go back, kid, you have to go back!" The old man grabbed Jiang Xingchen and refused to let him go forward. He didn't expect that there was actually a killer whale here.
Although he was at the eighth level of vitality, he really didn't have the confidence to fight against a level 23 orca in the sea.
"Stop, stop! Stop pulling!" Jiang Xingchen struggled to break away and said loudly: "What are you worried about? Didn't you see that this whale is trapped? If it still has the strength of level 23, how could it be trapped?
In the shallows?”
"Uh!" The old man and the sailor were both stunned. Yes, how could a level 23 killer whale be trapped here?
Jiang Xingchen ignored the two people who were in a daze, looked at the huge killer whale not far ahead, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! So handsome!"
This whale looks very similar to the killer whale in Jiang Xingchen's previous life. The only difference is that it is more than three times larger and more powerful and domineering.
Jiang Xingchen knew that killer whales are actually whales, but they should be classified into the Delphinidae family. Killer whales in the previous life were not restricted by water temperature and depth at all. There have been many scenes of killer whales hunting in shallow seas on TV.
However, it is true that such a large killer whale cannot move in shallow waters. How it could be trapped here is also difficult to understand.
"Keep going, don't stop!" Jiang Xingchen urged.
The sailor came back to his senses, glanced at the old man, and continued paddling forward, his palms sweating.
As they got closer and closer, the killer whale became more and more restless, its strange calls became more impatient, and the energy on its surface fluctuated, causing the seawater to stir up waves, blocking the boat's progress.
Seeing this situation, the old man finally felt relieved and laughed: "This killer whale really has no strength. The waves it pushes are so small, so there should be no problem."
The boat continued to approach, and Jiang Xingchen and the old man finally understood why the killer whale had lost its strength. They couldn't see clearly from a distance, but now they were quite close, and they saw that the killer whale's body was covered with dense wounds.
Some were as deep as half a foot, and some were as long as one meter. Their skin and flesh were turned over, making Jiang Xingchen, a man who was dizzy with blood, turn pale.
This is not the most serious thing. What is more serious is the harsh sunlight. Long-term exposure has made the skin dry and cracked.
"It sprayed water just now to save itself from being sunburned to death!" the old man said.
The sailor said: "However, it seems to have lost its strength. The interval between spraying water is so long..." He raised his head and squinted at the blazing sun. The sailor continued: "If this continues, it will probably die soon."
!”
"This is a monster. It should be fine if it lasts until night, right?" the old man said.
"But at night the tide goes out here. Without water, it will be dried to death!" said the sailor.
The old man nodded, then patted Jiang Xingchen: "Boy, this time we have made another fortune. This killer whale is probably worth as much as a horse race... Your boy's luck is simply unbelievable, such a huge bargain.
You can pick them all up!" The old man laughed.
Jiang Xingchen didn't show any happy expression. He stared at the killer whale and murmured: "How could a level 23 monster, known as the overlord of the ocean, be so seriously injured? How could it come to the shallow sea and be trapped in the shoal...
"
"Boy, what are you thinking about? You didn't hear me when I was talking to you!" The old man was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xingchen's indifferent performance.
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said solemnly: "It's true that I'm looking for a bargain, but I don't want this killer whale to die... We must save it!"
Jiang Xingchen's words made the old man and the sailor both widen their eyes and stare at Jiang Xingchen in disbelief.
"What are you looking at? I said we have to save it!" Jiang Xingchen said again.
"Boy, do you want to..." The old man reacted, his eyes lit up, and he remembered Jiang Xingchen's mysterious talent of taming monsters.
But when he turned to look at the killer whale, the old man's expression collapsed again, and he said: "Boy, it's not me who says how we can save him. This guy is too big... just pouring water on him is not enough."
It’s a small project, and I can’t feed it with medicine. If I try to transport my energy, I probably won’t be able to support it for long…”
Jiang Xingchen chuckled: "Don't worry, I have a way!" He waved his hand forward and said loudly: "Pull across!" (To be continued...)
