Without hesitation, Fu Wan acted. She drew her short knife and slowly approached the mantis shrimp, then opened the net around its tail.
Even the fiercest mantis shrimp can't break its own short knife, can it?
It was at this moment that the baby killer whale, having eaten its fill, returned to find Fu Wan. Perhaps intimidated by the baby killer whale, the mantis shrimp's attention was diverted, and before it could even throw a punch, it retreated into the net.
Fu Wan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. She quickly tightened the opening of the net, then shook it. The mantis shrimp was caught off guard and was thrown into the middle of several lobsters. Even if it threw a powerful punch, only the lobsters would get hurt.
Looking at the overflowing net, Fu Wan's gloom vanished. With the net full, it was time to head back.
Fu Wan looked around. Fu Gui and Hua Kai had long since gone off on a date somewhere. The little orca was chasing a group of small fish. It had just finished eating, and its current behavior was probably more like a human taking a stroll.
The six-banded trevally suffered terribly. The originally magnificent school of fish was frightened and scattered all at once, while the little killer whale seemed to be having a good time, which made Fu Wan shake her head.
After calculating that she had been in the water for two or three hours, Fu Wan was actually a little hungry. She picked up the net and quickly swung her legs, preparing to surface to see which part of the water she was in.
The water where she had just caught the lobsters was only about ten meters from the surface of the sea. Fu Wan swam up for a short while before she suddenly popped out of the water with a splash.
Sunlight instantly shone on her face. Several seabirds in the sky noticed Fu Wan's movements and initially thought a school of fish was passing by. However, upon seeing that it was a two-legged creature, they were frightened and quickly flew higher.
The first thing Fu Wan did after surfacing was to wipe the seawater off her face. She looked around and, unsurprisingly, didn't find Boss Fu's boat.
There were no distinctive reefs around, but several kilometers away in the sea, there was a familiar-looking island. If Fu Wan was not mistaken, it should be the long-unseen Yanwo Island.
Good heavens, she actually followed Huakai and the little killer whale from Coconut Island to the waters of Swallow's Nest Island?
It takes about an hour to travel between these two islands by boat.
But thinking back to how she hadn't swum much when she arrived, and that she had ridden a whale with the wind, it's no wonder that she felt no fatigue at all, except for being a little hungry.
Humans can't stand being nagged, and neither can whales. Just as Fu Wan thought of the baby killer whale, the water beneath her rippled twice, and before she could react, the baby killer whale leaped out of the water with a splash!
Then, with another thud, the baby killer whale crashed heavily into the water, startling not only the surrounding seabirds but also leaving Fu Wan speechless.
She wiped the seawater off her face expressionlessly. She was truly exasperated with this sixth brother. Couldn't he have been a little quieter and more low-key when he made his appearance?
I had just wiped the water off my face when it was splashed all over again.
The baby killer whale had no idea what the two-legged creature was thinking. It spouted a jet of water a meter high, and under the sunlight, a beautiful rainbow immediately appeared.
Fu Wan admired the scene. To be honest, some people will never see this kind of scene in their entire lives.
In particular, the large-scale hunting of whales in later generations and the discharge of sewage by island nations have greatly threatened the populations of killer whales and various other whale species. As a result, most people will never see wild whales roaming freely on the surface of the sea in their lifetime and can only watch whale shows in aquariums.
Fu Wan had seen the orcas in the aquarium once. Although they were both orcas, the orcas in the aquarium were more like puppets, their souls long since returned to the ocean.
The baby killer whale spouted water for a while, then whimpered around Fu Wan. At the same time, several more water columns rose in the distance, and a few whale calls reached Fu Wan's ears.
A pod of orcas has arrived!
Orcas swim very fast, and soon the pod of orcas was within arm's reach.
The baby killer whale visibly became excited, letting out a long cry. Just when Fu Wan thought it was about to meet up with the pod of killer whales, the baby killer whale suddenly swam under him and then skillfully carried Fu Wan on its back.
Fu Wan instinctively grabbed the baby killer whale's dorsal fin. After realizing that Fu Wan was settled, the baby killer whale whimpered twice and then swam quickly in another direction.
Now that they were on board, Fu Wan was happy to have some free time. She patted the little orca's head and shouted, "Good orca, take me to the boat! You know the boat? It's that big thing with the red flag!"
"Waaah!"
It's unclear whether the little orca understood, but as soon as Fu Wan finished speaking, the little orca responded with two sounds.
The baby killer whale's speed was no joke. Fu Wan closed her eyes, and all she could hear was the sound of seawater breaking and the whooshing wind.
For a moment, it seemed that there was only the ocean, the orca, and her in the world; the feeling of riding the waves was truly addictive.
"Hahaha, that's awesome!"
Fu Wan shook the seawater off her face. It was only then that she realized the orca pod hadn't left. Instead, they were closely following the baby orca, as if they would follow wherever the baby orca went.
There were also many seabirds on the sea surface, trying to pick up some fish that had been stunned by the killer whales as they swam by.
She didn't know how long the little killer whale had been carrying her when it suddenly let out a loud cry. Fu Wan looked around and saw a familiar-looking boat a hundred meters away – it was her own "Fully Loaded Return"!
At the same time, a long whistle sounded from the ship, as if in response to the baby killer whale's call. Fu Wan knew in her heart that Boss Fu had spotted her.
Sure enough, the speed of the "Full Load Return" ship slowed down rapidly, and the little orca also slowed down considerably. When it was less than ten meters away from the ship, Fu Wan thought the little orca was going to let her off. Unexpectedly, the little orca suddenly sped up and carried Fu Wan around the "Full Load Return" ship twice!
Not only that, this thing started whimpering again, as if showing off to the two-legged creatures on the boat, "Look how amazing I am, I brought my two-legged friend back!"
Fu Wan held tightly to the baby orca's dorsal fin. This thing was really something, so arrogant. Didn't it consider how embarrassing it was for her to be about to get down and then have to quickly grab the dorsal fin to keep steady?
"Alright, alright, just put me down already!"
Seeing Fang Min and Fu Qing waving at her from the stern, Fu Wan patted the baby orca on the back. The baby orca whimpered twice more before slowly approaching the side of the boat, ready to let Fu Wan down.
Fu Wan glanced around and realized that her boat was still trawling. She quickly patted the baby orca to keep it from getting too close to the stern.
"Don't go over there, there are fishing nets there. In the future, if you see these fishing nets, stay far away, otherwise you'll suffer if you get tangled up!"
"Waaah!"
After saying this, seeing that the baby killer whale showed no intention of approaching the stern trawler, Fu Wan got off the boat and swam towards the side of the boat.
