Dozens of tiger sharks leading three humpback whales straight towards Beihai Bay was a spectacle that immediately drew a lot of attention.
From the fishery administration departments in Guangxi to the maritime management departments, environmental departments, and even animal protection associations, news of this unusual event was quickly reported.
Upon receiving the reports, the maritime management department was the first to issue a statement on its official blog.
“Early this morning, fishermen in our province discovered a large number of tiger sharks and three humpback whales near Weizhou Island. This fully demonstrates the initial success we have achieved in marine governance over the years. For this result, we first thank our superiors…”
Following the maritime department, the environmental department also issued a statement.
“Recent tests show a large number of marine organisms migrating to the Beibu Gulf, which is the best return for our years of marine environmental governance…”
Before long, the fishery administration department also caught up.
“Through our long and unremitting efforts, the situation of illegal fishing has significantly improved, and the number of marine fish is steadily increasing. We will continue to work hard in the future…”
…
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of most people, the appearance of the tiger shark school and humpback whales was a great thing.
Only the members of the animal protection association realized something was amiss.
“How is it? Have you contacted the professors from Ocean University? What do they say?”
“Haven’t reached them yet. It’s probably too early, they must still be asleep.”
“Then this is going to be difficult. Those three humpback whales are being led by the tiger shark school, crashing around, and they might get hit by fishing boats or cruise ships.”
“Even if they don’t get hit, they’ll likely be beached, which would be a major problem.”
“Did you call Director Yang?”
“His phone is also not connecting. He’s probably still asleep too.”
“Then we can only arrange for people to go to the seaside and watch for now, and preferably find a way to drive them to the deep sea.”
“As soon as Director Yang’s call goes through, have him come here immediately.”
…
Just as the animal protection association was urgently trying to contact Yang Lin, Yang Lin himself had already entered the Beihai through the entrance of the underground river.
The moment he entered the seawater, he felt a mysterious power surge into his body.
His already somewhat fatigued body instantly felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Feeling the changes in his body, Yang Lin’s face immediately lit up with joy.
“Is this the boost from the Heart of the Ocean? This feels amazing.”
As he spoke, Yang Lin began to sense the location of the three humpback whales through the seawater.
With just a thought, the location of the three humpback whales was immediately fed back into his mind.
“They’re almost there. In that case, I’ll go meet them.”
With that thought, Yang Lin plunged into the seawater again, his entire body shooting out like a torpedo.
His speed was even faster than when he was in the underground river. From the surface of the sea, only a rapidly moving dark shadow could be seen.
In less than ten minutes, his figure appeared in another sea area.
This sea area was less than fifty nautical miles from the Beibu Gulf coastline.
Around him, a large number of cargo ships and fishing boats could be seen.
However, perhaps due to orders from the relevant departments, these ships were acting conscientiously and did not enter the path of the humpback whales and tiger sharks, maintaining a distance.
Of course, there were exceptions.
In a vast expanse of sea, a research vessel flying the Dragon Country's maritime flag was sailing at an extremely slow speed.
And on this research vessel, there was a group of people holding cameras.
“The tiger shark school is less than 10 nautical miles from here. The three humpback whales are following closely behind them, with a very clear objective.”
On the research vessel, a man in uniform said as he looked at the instrument in his hand, “As for why they are so determined to head towards the Beibu Gulf, it’s not very clear yet.”
“However, just now we discovered that one of the humpback whales is injured, and severely so.”
Hearing his analysis, the others around him became even more confused.
“Injured and swimming towards shallow waters? They can’t be here to commit suicide, can they?”
“Could it be that the tiger sharks attacked the humpback whales, which is why the three humpback whales are chasing them?”
“How is that possible? That’s a school of tiger sharks. They’re the ones that chase others in the sea.”
“Then what is going on? I feel like my brain isn’t working properly.”
“Me too. My forehead is starting to feel hot, my CPU is about to burn out.”
…
At this moment, everyone present felt that all the knowledge they had learned, such as marine animal behavior, was wasted.
And at this very moment, the tiger shark school, which had been sailing at full speed, suddenly stopped. Following them, the humpback whales behind them also stopped.
Before anyone could be surprised by this sudden turn of events, something even more incomprehensible happened.
The tiger shark that had been leading the way suddenly swam to the sides.
Soon, they tightly surrounded the three humpback whales.
If it were before, they would have likely assumed these tiger sharks were hunting. But after witnessing all that had happened, they knew this wasn't a hunt; it was protection.
That’s right, a group of tiger sharks, known as the ocean’s trash cans, who would eat anything, were protecting three humpback whales.
However, that wasn’t all. After these tiger sharks formed their formation, the sea area around the humpback whales quickly became like a boiling pot. A large number of fish leaped out of the water.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sea area was covered with a multitude of fish.
Seeing this scene, both the people on the research vessel and those on other nearby ships were extremely shocked.
“Holy cow, are our Dragon Country’s fishery resources this abundant?”
“What world’s four great fishing grounds? From now on, there will only be one Beibu Gulf fishing ground.”
“It’s Gold Fertilizer, Dragon Country’s fishery isn’t abundant; fish farming relies on Gold Fertilizer.”
“Who is the big shot who set up this fishing spot? I knew why those three whales were running this way.”
“What kind of technology is this? It’s attracting sharks and whales.”
“If it weren’t for the sharks, I would have jumped in to cheer for the fish school.”
“With this kind of fishing situation, are there still boat captains who return with empty boats every day?”
“Stop talking. My dad has been fishing for five consecutive days and returned empty-handed every day. He told me there were no fish. I’ll show him this scene and tell him to stop fishing.”
“Wait, why do I feel like those fish look a bit happy?”
“I feel it too. Damn, why are they lining up there?”
…
Just as everyone’s gaze was fixed on the school of fish on the sea surface, a dark shadow stealthily approached the three humpback whales.
Although the dark shadow was very careful, it was still captured by someone on a distant fishing boat.
When he saw the humanoid dark shadow through his phone camera, he was utterly dumbfounded.
