"It hurts... it hurts... it hurts so much... it's so heavy..."
The humpback whale's inner voice was translated into human language and reached Lu Yao's ears.
Lu Yao swam around the humpback whale again. He had just checked that there was no obvious external injury on its body. Maybe he had overlooked something.
The skin of the humpback whale is not as smooth as that of the killer whale. It has rough texture. There are scars on its head, flippers and tail, as if caused by collision.
Around its flippers and tail, there are large and small rattan pots parasitizing, and the outside looks uneven.
Rattan pots are a kind of arthropod that likes to attach to rough and uneven reefs, or places with clean water and abundant food.
This seemingly harmless aquatic organism has a strong reproductive capacity and a huge number. It often attaches to the bottom of ships or coastal pipelines in large pieces. It needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will increase resistance and fuel consumption when the ship is sailing, or block the pipeline.
Sometimes, they will choose to parasitize some marine organisms with rough skin and slow swimming speed, such as turtles and humpback whales.
There are too many rattan pots attached to this humpback whale, densely attached to the skin, no wonder it screams in pain.
When rattan pots parasitize on creatures such as humpback whales, they do not rely on suction cups like conches attach to reefs, but embed their calcareous shells deeply into the host's skin.
For a deep-sea monster that is more than ten meters long and weighs more than ten tons, a single canopy may not cause any discomfort, but a large number of canopy piercing the skin and parasitizing on the body will definitely make it feel uncomfortable.
Too many canopy will also affect the swimming speed and the accuracy of predation.
Occasionally, you will see a humpback whale flipping over with most of its body emerging from the sea, and then slamming back into the sea. It may be cleaning the canopy on its body.
This humpback whale has some rough and uneven scabs on its skin, just like the scars left after cleaning the canopy.
But compared to the small part of canopy that was cleaned, it still has more parasites on its body.
Lu Yao frowned slightly and swam under the humpback whale.
This action is actually very dangerous, but fortunately the whale did not react too much.
Lu Yao slowly dived down from the side that its eyes could see. He did not see many rattan pots around his chest and abdomen. When he swam to the bottom, his face suddenly changed.
Lu Yao stared at that soft part, which was covered with rattan pots. He couldn't bear to look at it: "This is that what, right?"
System: [...That what, I don't understand, what did you say? ]
Lu Yao couldn't tell whether the small system really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand, but it didn't matter.
It's too miserable, this humpback whale is really too miserable, being bullied by rattan pots like this.
Lu Yao swam back to the whale's head, looked it in the eye, and patted it gently, regardless of whether it could understand or not, and soothed it: "Wait a moment, I'll help you clean these parasitic potholes right away."
"Oh, oh, oh--" the humpback whale responded softly, as if it could understand what she said.
Lu Yao has seen information about humans cleaning potholes for sea turtles. The potholes have been embedded in the skin and are still alive. Tearing them off will cause great pain to the host.
People will soak the sea turtle in fresh water, wait for the potholes to die, and then use tools to clean them off bit by bit, and then apply medicine to the host.
For a huge sea beast like a humpback whale, the idea of soaking in fresh water is not very realistic.
And there are too many potholes on its body, and physical removal must be more uncomfortable than for sea turtles.
Lu Yao went back to the nail salon to ask Mumu for help.
There were many alien employees in the nail salon, all of whom were masters of magic, but only Mumu was a water magician.
Mumu was cleaning the shop. When she saw Lu Yao coming back, she silently put down the rag and slowly moved in front of her. Her big, watery eyes were full of joy, "Ji."
There are huge crying beasts in the deep sea, and there are also "Jijiji" slimes at home. Lu
Yao squatted down, touched Mumu's smooth head, and said softly: "Mum, there is something that needs your help, and only you can do it."
A light flashed in Mumu's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Jiji!"
He was finally able to help the owner.
Lu Yao explained to Mumu that she wanted a huge sealing water magic.
Mumu turned back to the laboratory. After a moment, she took out a crystal ball and handed it to Lu Yao. "Chi!"
Lu Yao took it. "Thank you. Bring back seafood tonight. Have you ever eaten lobsters and fresh sea urchins?"
Mumu's eyes sparkled and he shook his head blankly.
Lu Yao patted him, "Then I'll bring you the freshest ones tonight."
"Chi!" Lu
Yao returned to the Furry Shop. The customers in the shop were absent-mindedly paying attention to the humpback whale that was still outside.
She put on a diving suit, swam to the side of the humpback whale, and led it to swim away slowly, away from the Furry Shop.
The customers were scared, and the autistic fish nearby were also timid. Seeing such a deep-sea monster wandering nearby, they dared not enter the shop.
A man and a whale swam to a spacious and unfamiliar seabed, with only colorful corals, anemones and aquatic creatures living nearby.
Lu Yao took out the water ball made by Mumu and threw it directly on the humpback whale.
The water ball swelled, getting bigger and bigger, slowly wrapping the whale's skin that was parasitized by the cane vine. The water ball was filled with fresh water, and a barrier was constructed with magic to isolate the sea water.
Like pieces of plaster, it was attached to the humpback whale's skin that was parasitized by the cane vine.
The blisters burst, and Lu Yao knew that the cane vine was dead.
She took out a utility knife, wrapped the dark magic around the blade, and scraped off the dead cane vine tissue on the whale's skin bit by bit.
The destructive property of dark magic instantly cleaned up the fragile limestone shell fragments. The whale was too big, and Lu Yao was busy running around. It took him nearly three hours to clean most of the vine pots on it.
During this period, the humpback whale returned to the surface of the sea from time to time to breathe.
Lu Yao was tired, so she lay on its back to rest and floated up with it.
She still couldn't float to the surface of the sea, as if there was a layer of diaphragm that could accurately distinguish between humans and marine life.
Once the boundary was touched, Lu Yao was separated and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. When
the humpback whale came back to breathe, it found that Lu Yao had fallen into the sea and made a whimpering sound similar to "confusion".
Lu Yao didn't know how to explain it, so he cheered up and cleaned off the last few vine pots on its body, and finally used light magic to heal it.
"Okay, the canopy is gone. Does it still hurt?"
Lu Yao gently touched the humpback whale, using telepathy.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." It shook its flippers and tail lightly, looking very happy, its eyes fixed on Lu Yao, "She looks like mother. Maybe, she really is mother. We need to tell our fellow creatures that mother is back."
Telepathy has a certain delay, and when Lu Yao heard the full content, the humpback whale had already swam away with its tail swinging.
Mother is back, what does that mean?
A mystery fell into Lu Yao's mind, and she slowly turned around and swam back with her tired body.
She felt like a car washer who had just washed a large tall passenger car, her arms were sore and weak, her legs could hardly lift, and she swam very slowly.
"Bing——" A familiar cry suddenly came from behind her, which was different from the sound of a humpback whale, but a bit like a killer whale.
Sure enough, a giant sea panda suddenly appeared beside her, crying "Bing bing", and its round and slightly protruding face, which looked a bit like a dolphin, came closer and talked very fast.
"Bing bing bing."
It was the killer whale cub that she had rescued again.
Their tribe seemed to come back here frequently recently.
It should be said that the time of its arrival was quite coincidental. If it had come earlier, it would have been beaten.
At this time, the humpback whale had already left.
There was also an adult male killer whale with it, but it was not known whether it was the same one as last time.
Lu Yao looked at the adult male killer whale inquiringly.
After a while, the adult killer whale opened its jaw slightly: "Meow."
It was confirmed that it was still the aloof male killer whale.
The killer whale cub was very lively, and it kept "meowing" close to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao felt a little exhausted and reached out tentatively.
The male adult killer whale squeezed the killer whale cub away without leaving a trace, and his smooth body slightly supported her.
The next second, the killer whale cub squeezed back again, and its head lightly arched against Lu Yao's waist, nagging non-stop.
What was going on in the killer whale's mind?
Lu Yao suddenly felt curious.
Lu Yao reached back and touched the killer whale cub's smooth skin, silently exerting spiritual induction.
A few seconds later, a refreshing boy's voice rang in Lu Yao's mind.
"Ah, I like you, sister."
"Do you want to catch sharks together?"
Lu Yao: "..."
As expected of the overlord of the sea, catching sharks is as easy as catching jellyfish.
After a while, the boy's voice sounded again.
"Sharks are not very delicious."
"Whales are delicious."
"..." Lu Yao silently swam away a little.
The tiger cubs are really ferocious, but fortunately they don't eat people.
After soaking in the water for too long, her hands and feet were exhausted. She began to lose control of her balance and couldn't help but shift to one side. The
adult male killer whale came over again, gently held her, shook his head in the water, and then came over to gently bite one of her wrists, dragging her up and swimming slowly forward.
Lu Yao was not so scared this time, and was even a little curious about what the killer whale was thinking at this time.
At this time, they passed by a seabed where garden eels lived. Tiny eels curled up in caves, revealing their heads and half of their bodies. They swayed gently in the sea water, catching plankton, like a cluster of delicate branches swaying in the wind.
To be honest, the scene looked a bit weird from a distance.
But if you get closer and observe the garden eels, you will find that they are actually very cute. They
have a slender body with small spots on their bodies, some of which are very colorful, have big eyes, and are relatively courageous.
They live in groups and are used to hiding in caves. Their tails will not leave the cave when hunting. This is their way of survival.
Lu Yao's gaze fell on the cute little eel, and she whispered, "Ah, I suddenly want to eat eel rice."
The garden eels that were obsessed with hunting not far away seemed to sense the danger, and collectively retracted their bodies and hid in the cave, leaving only a pair of eyes to carefully explore the situation outside.
Lu Yao withdrew her gaze in boredom. What she wanted to eat was a big eel with plump and soft meat, not this kind of cute and meatless little sticky eel.
The adult killer whale holding her blinked and gently turned its body to the side to make her more comfortable. Lu
Yao came back to her senses and remembered what she was thinking about just now.
She used a little strength, bent her fingers, touched the killer whale's sharp teeth, and cast the telepathic induction skill.
