As the orca slapped the thresher shark out of the sea, a distant fishing vessel happened to pass by.
When they saw the thresher shark flying out of the water, they were all dumbfounded.
"Holy shit, there's a shark flying over there!"
"How did it do that, flying so high!"
"Quick, quick, take a picture!"
...
But before they could finish taking pictures, another thresher shark soon flew out.
On the other side, Yang's face was also filled with a strange expression.
He looked like he wanted to laugh but was forcing himself to hold back.
Especially when he saw the thresher sharks being batted around like balls by the orcas.
If he were to laugh at this moment, he would lose a bit of merit.
After holding it in for more than a minute, he finally couldn't help but laugh.
As he laughed, a scene kept flashing through his mind.
A group of tough guys in black suits throwing a schoolyard punk covered in tattoos into the air with an uppercut, only to be caught by tough guys on the other side.
After an unknown amount of time, the orcas finally seemed to have vented their anger, or perhaps they had finished playing.
As for the thresher sharks that had been brutally beaten, they were now unable to move.
If it weren't for their strong life force, they would have been beaten to death by the orcas.
However, just as Yang Lin thought things were over, a long, drawn-out sound soon echoed from the ocean again.
Hearing this sound, Yang Lin's face immediately showed a look of disbelief.
"Am I this lucky today? Not only did I encounter a pod of orcas, but I also ran into other whales?"
As he thought this, he saw three even larger figures swimming towards them from the deep sea in the distance.
Compared to the orcas, which were nearly 10 meters long, these three figures were even more massive, easily over 10 meters long from a distance.
The thresher sharks were like toddlers in comparison.
As they got a little closer, Yang Lin finally got a clear look at the three figures through Li You's eyes.
With bodies over 15 meters long, comparable to a large truck, their backs arched high, and a pair of wing-like fins grew from their sides.
Combined with their short, flat, and wide faces, Yang Lin recognized them almost instantly.
They were three humpback whales that had come from who knew where.
Upon recognizing these three giants, Yang Lin couldn't help but recall a legend.
According to the legend, if humpback whales sensed the presence of orcas in the vicinity, they would immediately rush over, beat up the orcas severely, and rescue the prey being hunted by the orcas.
Whether the orcas were attacking humans or other fish, humpback whales would come to their aid.
In essence, whoever the orcas beat up, the humpback whales would also beat up.
The reason, it is said, is that orcas would bully young humpback whales, and humpback whales were intelligent and held grudges.
Of course, Yang Lin knew this was just a joke from netizens.
In reality, humpback whales did interfere with orca hunts, but they wouldn't go around beating up orcas, mainly because orcas were too agile, and humpback whales were like big fat guys.
As he pondered these legends, the three enormous adult humpback whales swam towards the pod of orcas.
Relying on their size advantage, the three humpback whales, as soon as they arrived, caused the six orcas to immediately back away.
Seeing the two sides enter a standoff, Yang Lin couldn't help but look forward to a fight.
The thresher sharks that were initially knocked unconscious were pushed aside by the humpback whales.
From this, Yang Lin felt that not everything the netizens said was wrong.
"Quick! Give it an uppercut."
"Why aren't they fighting yet."
Whether it was a coincidence or not, as Yang Lin was secretly egging them on, one of the smaller humpback whales suddenly swung its tail towards an orca.
Caught off guard, the unlucky orca was flung away.
However, the orca's size was considerable, and it stopped not far away.
But with just that one blow, the six orcas were enraged and immediately surrounded the three humpback whales.
Just as a fierce battle was about to erupt, a peculiar sound suddenly came from the sea nearby.
However, this time, the sound was not from a marine creature.
"It's the sound of propellers. Could it be a passing fishing boat or a ship?"
As he heard the approaching sound, Yang Lin couldn't help but think.
He didn't think much of it, as encountering humans at sea was a high probability.
But at this moment, a splash of red blood suddenly bloomed on the surface of the sea from above.
Along with the blood, a long whale song echoed.
Seeing this, Yang Lin immediately focused his gaze on the center of the blood splash.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the blood was gushing from the smaller humpback whale.
"It's injured!"
Yang Lin immediately realized this, but what he couldn't understand was how the humpback whale sustained an injury when the orcas hadn't even attacked it.
As Yang Lin pondered this, the injured humpback whale suddenly turned its body.
The next second, a harpoon with a cold glint and barbs appeared on the humpback whale's back.
Seeing the harpoon, Yang Lin finally understood why the humpback whale was injured.
"How can there be a whaling ship here? Aren't we still in Chinese waters?"
At this moment, his mind was filled with confusion and bewilderment.
After all, apart from ancient times, China had almost never actively hunted whales in modern times.
Because in ancient times, Chinese people knew that whale meat was not tasty and contained heavy metals, and eating too much could cause brain problems.
Therefore, the whaling ship appearing above him must not be from China.
The most likely possibility was from the neighboring country, Japan.
To ascertain whether it was a Japanese whaling ship that had entered Chinese waters, Yang Lin immediately instructed Li You to swim slowly towards the surface.
As it poked its head out of the water, a medium-sized whaling ship, about the size of a fishing boat, appeared in Yang Lin's view.
On this whaling ship, a group of whalers with Asian features were operating mechanical equipment to haul the humpback whale from the sea onto the ship.
Although they had cleverly removed the ship's national flag, Yang Lin recognized their identity from their jabbering conversations.
"It really is the Japanese, hunting whales all the way into our Chinese waters."
"We have to show them a thing or two."
After figuring this out, Yang Lin's mind immediately began to form a preliminary plan.
