Dude, what are you doing here?
Fu Wan was also helpless; in this vast ocean, she really couldn't see where her own ship was.
But it doesn't matter. If all else fails, she can go back to Swallow's Nest Island and wait. Anyway, Boss Fu will have to go back to Swallow's Nest Island to collect the bamboo tubes and ground cages later.
"Waaah!"
The orca suddenly let out a sharp whistle, startling Fu Wan.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Wan noticed several black figures swimming towards her from a distance, even spraying out small jets of water.
Looking at its grayish-black skin, Fu Wan initially thought it was a dolphin, but then she realized something was wrong; this dolphin didn't have a long snout.
Not only that, they also lack dorsal fins.
Although somewhat incredulous, Fu Wan still recognized their species. Adorable little finless porpoises!
The giant panda of the water is more like a street urchin than an orca!
As the finless porpoises drew closer, the orca couldn't help but make a sound, threatening them to stay away.
Fu Wan gently patted its head upon hearing this, "Be friendly, they won't hurt you."
These little guys are also endangered species in future generations. Not to mention harming them, if they suddenly die next to you, you will still be responsible.
It might sound like a staged accident, but it's actually because the Yangtze finless porpoise is becoming increasingly rare, forcing people to take strict protective measures.
Fu Wan never expected to see a finless porpoise in the sea, but thinking about it, it makes sense, as finless porpoises are migratory fish that prefer to live in brackish waters.
Therefore, it's not unusual for them to appear in the sea and rivers. Furthermore, these little creatures mainly feed on silverfish and shrimp, and do not pose a threat to large marine animals like killer whales.
We should be afraid of orcas, not killer whales.
But now these finless porpoises are risking being hunted by killer whales to get close to her, and Fu Wan always feels that they have encountered some kind of difficulty.
Perhaps because the baby killer whale was still too intimidating, the finless porpoises stopped when they were still five or six meters away from it.
But they showed no sign of leaving; instead, they lingered there, occasionally spitting out a few drops of water.
Seeing this, Fu Wan thought for a moment and then got off the baby killer whale.
"Wait here for me, I'll go take a look."
Before leaving, she reminded the baby killer whale, as it is still quite a threat to the Yangtze finless porpoise.
My main purpose was to check if the finless porpoise was encountering any problems. If the baby killer whale followed, the finless porpoise would have to run away again.
However, even before Fu Wan swam to the finless porpoises, when they were still two or three meters away and separated by the constantly rising waves, Fu Wan could see the difficulties these porpoises were facing.
To be precise, it wasn't several, but just one of them.
I don't know which damned fishing net fell into the sea again. The finless porpoise may have accidentally bitten the net while hunting small fish, and now the net has wrapped most of its body.
Furthermore, it appears that the finless porpoise has been entangled in the fishing net for quite some time, with the net even digging into its flesh due to the struggle and pulling.
This broke Fu Wan's heart.
The finless porpoises looked at her with pleading eyes. When they saw Fu Wan coming alone, the other finless porpoises stopped surrounding the porpoise and swam to the side to make room for her.
Fu Wan immediately reached into her leg, pulled out a small knife, and swam quickly to the finless porpoise.
"Sweetie, I'll save you right now, don't be afraid."
After saying that, she grabbed the fishing nets with her hands, then slowly inserted the knife into them, and then turned it around to tear the nets apart.
To prevent the back of the knife from causing further damage to the wounds on the finless porpoise's back, Fu Wan even used her other hand to cover the wounds and then held the back of the knife against her hand.
Perhaps knowing that Fu Wan was saving it, the finless porpoise did not struggle and allowed Fu Wan to cut the fishing nets.
However, Fu Wan was quick, and in less than five minutes, she had cleaned the fishing net off the finless porpoise.
Actually, the fishing nets on the finless porpoises were easy to clean, but the ones on their mouths took Fu Wan quite a bit of effort to remove.
Moreover, because the fishing net had tangled around its mouth, this finless porpoise must have gone without food for several days, and it looked noticeably thinner than the other finless porpoises.
After cleaning the fishing nets, Fu Wan didn't forget to crumple them up and stuff them into her net bag.
If it's thrown back into the sea, it might entangle other marine life or be eaten by them, causing further harm.
Feeling that the fishing net on its body had been removed, the finless porpoise gently swayed its tail a few times, then shook it several more times, its mouth wide open as if in disbelief.
Fu Wan didn't have any medicine on her, but she noticed that the finless porpoise's wounds had scabbed over, so she estimated that it would heal completely in a while.
"Meow~"
"Baa!"
A few soft, sheep-like bleating sounds rang out. Fu Wan wondered where the sheep came from at sea, but then she immediately realized that it was the call of a finless porpoise.
The finless porpoises were much happier than before, bleating around Fu Wan several times before gradually drifting away.
Fu Wan guessed that they were in a hurry to find food. The finless porpoise had been starving for several days because of the fishing net, so it needed to eat more to replenish its energy!
Fu Wan was in a good mood after rescuing the Yangtze finless porpoise, as it was another good deed she had done.
It is worth noting that in later generations, when the Yangtze finless porpoise was seriously endangered, the exact number of Yangtze finless porpoises in the whole country could be calculated.
Therefore, saving a finless porpoise now might lead to it giving birth to more finless porpoises, which could be a huge contribution to the future conservation of finless porpoises.
While thinking this to herself, Fu Wan turned around and realized that she had forgotten about the baby orca.
However, the little killer whale didn't just stand there waiting for her. While Fu Wan was busy untangling the fishing net, it dived into the sea and caught two more manta rays.
He even ate one himself, and remembered to keep the other one in his mouth for Fu Wan.
This touched Fu Wan deeply, but she had no intention of competing with the little orca for food. Although the manta ray was valuable, the little orca had served as her mount for most of the day, and she felt guilty for not having anything to give it in return.
Seeing that Fu Wan had refused his manta ray, the little killer whale didn't think much of it and swallowed the fish in a few bites. Then it gestured for Fu Wan to come up, preparing to go find Boss Fu and the others again.
To Fu Wan's surprise, this time it actually found the right spot. It didn't take any detours and just rushed straight ahead. After passing several unnamed islands, Fu Wan saw the red flag fluttering on her ship in the distance.
Fu Wan was truly impressed by the little killer whale's amazing abilities. She couldn't help but wonder if it had secretly gone to ask its companions for directions while she was untangling the fishing nets for the finless porpoises!
