Li Yi instantly understood that the orca mother meant this was a gift for him, thanking him for saving them.

But Liu Chunlei didn't understand, and asked, "What is it doing?"

Liu Chunlei stared curiously at the stingray in the mouth of the orca mother, looking puzzled.

Li Yi smiled and explained, "It's thanking us; this is a gift for us."

Liu Chunlei opened her mouth wide in surprise: "My God, this is too amazing! I have never seen such an intelligent animal before."

"Yes, orcas are very intelligent and understanding."

Li Yi gently patted the orca father's back, indicating that he accepted the gift.

The orca father seemed very happy, letting out a low, cheerful call.

The mother orca and her calf responded with low moans.

At this point, the manta ray was devastated.

If it could speak, it would definitely curse the entire orca family, saying, "You're so high and mighty, you think you're so great, you're using me as a gift."

In reality, it was of little use for Li Yi to hold the manta ray.

Soon, he also made a low sound, signaling the orca mother to release the manta ray.

The orca mother looked at Li Yi, puzzled.

Li Yi nodded, and only then did the orca mother open her mouth and release the manta ray.

The manta ray swam away, its body wobbling.

Liu Chunlei witnessed the entire back-and-forth communication between Li Yi and the orca, and she was stunned.

"This was truly an unforgettable experience. Li Yi, you're amazing! You were able to communicate with the orca."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Orcas are very intelligent animals; they can understand our intentions."

Led by the orca family, Li Yi and Liu Chunlei gradually approached the shore.

We can already see the shore from the sea.

Liu Chunlei was overjoyed. She had thought she was going to die in the sea, but now that she could see land again, she was filled with excitement.

"Look, land! I see land!"

Li Yi: "Yeah, we're almost there."

Liu Chunlei hugged Li Yi tightly from behind, as if afraid that they might fall into the sea if they weren't careful.

There were many tourists on the coast at this time.

Some were digging in the sand, some were walking along the wave line, and some were collecting seashells on the beach...

A few minutes later, someone spotted someone approaching on the distant sea, riding the waves.

He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. Holy crap, it really was coming from the water.

"Look, there's someone in the sea who can walk on water! They're actually riding the waves!"

"What? Walking on water? Coming on the waves? How is that possible!"

"Exactly, don't talk nonsense."

"Look for yourselves. It really came riding the waves!" Seeing that the crowd didn't believe him, the man pointed to the distant sea.

The surrounding tourists all looked in the direction the man was pointing.

On the sea, Li Yi and Liu Chunlei rode steadily on the back of the orca father, rising and falling with the waves as if walking on flat ground.

Meanwhile, the mother orca and her calf swam happily nearby, occasionally letting out cheerful calls.

However, from a distance, it looked as if someone was coming on the waves from the shore.

"Oh my god, is this real? Am I dreaming?" A tourist rubbed his eyes in surprise, then pinched himself hard. After confirming that he was not dreaming, he screamed excitedly.

"Quick, quick, take out your phone and take pictures! This is a once-in-a-lifetime sight!" Another tourist hurriedly took out his phone and started snapping photos of Li Yi and Liu Chunlei on the sea.

"This is amazing! I actually saw people walking on water!" A child jumped up excitedly, his eyes fixed on Li Yi and Liu Chunlei on the sea, afraid of missing any detail.

"Holy crap, that's amazing! There are actually people walking on water, and they're going incredibly fast. They seem to be heading this way."

As Li Yi and Liu Chunlei drew closer, the tourists on the shore grew increasingly excited, all of them stunned as they stared at the two figures on the sea.

As they got closer, they finally saw it clearly.

These are two people, not riding on the waves, but sitting on the back of an orca.

The orca was like their mount, obediently carrying them towards the shore.

They didn't come riding the waves, but rather riding an orca, which completely overturned their understanding.

A person can actually ride an orca?

Previously, the most they had heard of or seen was riding dolphins, and those were only dolphins trained in zoos. The idea of ​​these two riding orcas in the ocean was unheard of.

shock!

Shocking!

Utterly shocking!

Everyone stared at Li Yi and Liu Chunlei as they rode in on a whale.

Meanwhile, there's a diving experience area not far away.

The two coaches who had abandoned Li Yi and Liu Chunlei in the sea were whispering to each other in a small room.

"You've had it for so long, those two should both be dead in the sea, right?" a coach asked in a low voice.

“They’re definitely dead. They only had one oxygen tank left on the seabed. And our boat has already left; few other people go to that area. They couldn’t have survived,” another instructor said.

"It's their fault for being so irresponsible. They could have just spent a thousand yuan each to buy a new mask and that would have been enough, but they had to risk their lives," the coach said fiercely.

"What if someone finds out?"

"If we don't find them, we'll go look around again later. If we do find their bodies, we'll tie them up with cement blocks and drag them into the deep sea. Even if they aren't eaten by sharks, they'll be eaten by other marine life, or they'll never float back to the surface. Don't worry."
