The boat beneath our feet moved forward a little further.
Nalan Zhao felt increasingly uneasy; the color of the surrounding sea was different from other places.
It's too deep.
Nalan Zhao hurriedly sent Xiaoyugan to call Shen Zhiyi up.
When the dried fish ran to Shen Zhiyi's side, it saw that Shen Zhiyi had already stood up, looking at the sea with a furrowed brow.
"Awooo!" Zookeeper, that man is calling you over!
After howling, it even tugged at Shen Zhiyi's trouser leg with its mouth.
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the sea again and quickly followed Xiaoyugan to the control room.
“Sister, the color of this sea is strange.” Nalan Zhao pointed to the sea not far away.
Standing at a higher vantage point naturally provides a better view, allowing you to see the sea further out.
Nalan Zhao is right; the sea around them is much darker than the sea further away.
"I felt something was wrong about ten minutes ago. The fish weren't biting. When I looked closely, the color of the sea was off."
Nalan Zhao was about to say something when he was interrupted by a violent shaking.
The ship swayed uncontrollably from side to side.
The once calm sea suddenly became stormy.
Nalan Zhao grabbed Shen Zhiyi and pulled her into his arms to steady himself.
The dried fish on one side slipped to the side without warning. Luckily, I dodged quickly, otherwise I would have bumped my head and gotten a big bump.
A deep whale call rose from the seabed.
Shen Zhiyi's expression changed. Could the reason the sea had darkened be because there was a whale under their boat?
How big must this whale be to make the sea around the ship so dark?
But now she can only pray that the whale will stop causing trouble in the sea, otherwise their ship won't be able to withstand the damage caused by this huge creature.
At this moment, Chen Peng rushed up with messy hair. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Zhiyi and Nalan Zhao were alright.
"What just happened? Why was the boat rocking so violently?" Chen Peng asked, still shaken.
He was sleeping soundly when a violent shaking caused him to roll off the bed and wake him up.
Shen Zhiyi's expression was not good. She said, "There is a whale in the sea below our ship. The reason why the sea is so dark is because of this whale."
Chen Peng was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a reason.
"Should we increase the ship's speed now?"
The waves on the sea caused by the whale's movements had gradually subsided, and Nalan Zhao released Shen Zhiyi.
"Let's go ahead and clear out this big guy's territory first." Shen Zhiyi nodded, agreeing to Nalan Zhao's suggestion.
Nalan Zhao faced the control panel and began operating the controls, increasing the ship's speed in one go, intending to sail out of the whale's range in one go.
Another whale cry rang out.
However, there was a hint of sorrow in that whale's cry.
Shen Zhiyi felt something was wrong. Had something happened at the bottom of the sea?
However, Shen Zhiyi quickly dismissed these thoughts.
Facing the vast ocean, she was just a tiny human being; thrown into the ocean, she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
This is not something she should worry about.
Before long, Nalan Zhao steered the boat out of the whale's range.
Shen Zhiyi left the control room and looked back, only to be surprised to find that the black figure had actually followed her.
Once again, mournful whale cries echoed from the seabed.
For some reason, at this moment, Shen Zhiyi actually understood the mournful cry of the whale.
It looks like it's about to die.
"Ah Zhao, let's stop the ship first." Shen Zhiyi returned to the control room and called out to Nalan Zhao.
Although he didn't understand why Shen Zhiyi wanted him to do that, he still listened to her.
The three of them went up to the deck.
Shen Zhiyi stared intently at the giant whale that had swum over again. She hadn't expected that this enormous whale would come to the bottom of their boat and now follow it. Why was that?
"I have a water-repelling pearl. I'll go down and take a look." After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhiyi decided to go into the sea to see the whale and see what was wrong with it.
Nalan Zhao was the first to disagree, "No! I don't agree."
“I disagree as well,” Chen Peng said seriously. “The situation under the sea is unknown, and we don’t even know anything about the whale. This is a survival world. Who knows how this ocean is different from the ocean on Earth?”
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the whale that had followed them.
"It meant no harm."
"If we don't go down and check, it's likely to keep following us."
The two were taken aback. They had to admit that Shen Zhiyi was right. If they ignored it, what would happen if the whale kept following them?
Nalan Zhao thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Sister, I'll go with you."
Chen Peng, who couldn't swim, didn't get involved. He said, "You two be careful when you go into the sea. I'll be there to meet you from above."
Having decided to go to the seabed, Shen Zhiyi returned to the cabin to begin preparations.
Just in case, Shen Zhiyi rummaged through the cabin and found two diving suits, one for herself and one for Nalan Zhao.
Only after saying goodbye to Chen Peng did the two of them go into the sea.
During this time, the whale would occasionally make a whale call to attract their attention.
Shen Zhiyi had already carried the water-repelling bead with her. She originally wanted to ask Nalan Zhao about it, but when she saw that Nalan Zhao was also holding a water-repelling bead that was exactly the same as the one in her hand, she shut her mouth.
After diving down for a while, they looked in the direction where the whale was hiding, and sure enough, a huge whale was looking in their direction.
Shen Zhiyi and Nalan Zhao exchanged a glance and cautiously approached the whale.
This whale is a blue whale.
The blue whale gazed quietly at the humans approaching it, its eyes gentle, as if it were looking at two mischievous children.
As the two approached, the blue whale let out another cry, but this time it was not as mournful as the previous one; instead, it carried a hint of joy.
However, Shen Zhiyi did not understand what the blue whale meant.
She can understand the meaning of some animal calls, but she hasn't unlocked the meaning of marine animals.
The blue whale's massive body gently approached, and Shen Zhiyi reached out and placed her hand on its body.
This time, she heard it.
Hello, human.
Blue Whale's voice sounded like that of a wise old man, and when he greeted Shen Zhiyi, it was full of affection.
Wearing diving gear, Shen Zhiyi didn't know how to respond to the blue whale.
The blue whale seemed to know what Shen Zhiyi was thinking and said gently, "I can hear your thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi understood.
She wondered to herself, "Why are you following us? And why does your voice sound so..."
Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, unsure of what words to use to describe it.
