Beneath the dark blue sea.
The pitch black and silver white contrast with each other, with a clear boundary.
At the edge of the seabed crack, a row of huge killer whales were on full alert. After the killer whale leader gave the order, they obediently began to explore.
Little Lingling nestled in Thor's arms, holding Huhu, not daring to make a sound to disturb the killer whales.
While she continued to cast purification magic to protect everyone, she looked at her friends with wide eyes and some anticipation.
The killer whales were seen exploring quietly and skillfully. They continuously emitted sound waves into the cracks and promptly received the sound waves that bounced back to gradually understand the situation in the cracks.
The killer whale leader also uses its unique natural sonar to explore the deep cracks in the seabed.
Her keen perception extended silently like a nimble tentacle, presenting the scene in the crack bit by bit in her mind.
The exploration time passed gradually, and after more than ten minutes, the killer whales gradually figured out the scene inside the seabed crack.
The ordinary killer whales reported the situations detected in the areas they were responsible for to the killer whale leader. The killer whale leader combined their descriptions and gradually outlined the situation in the entire seabed crack in his mind.
"Lingling~" the killer whale leader called out to Lingling who was not far away.
"Hey~ I'm here! I'm here! Lingling is here!"
Lingling quickly ran out of Thor's arms, touched Huhu's furry head, handed him to Thor, and then swam over excitedly with her little tail wagging. Her movements were extremely exciting.
"Big Fish~Aside from bad things, are there any other scary things in the darkness?" When Little Dumpling arrived in front of the killer whale leader, he braked suddenly, held the killer whale's big head with his little meaty hands, and asked nervously using his mental strength.
The killer whale leader's head moved slightly, and he nudged the little fellow affectionately, describing the situation. "There are no living creatures in the crack. Aside from the black air, there's no danger. The stone walls on both sides are also very smooth, but at the bottom of the crack, bones are scattered all over the ground."
The killer whale leader's voice kept echoing in Lingling's mind, and the last few words suddenly made Lingling tremble.
"Those skeletons don't seem to belong to any common creatures we know of on the seabed. They're not ordinary fish bones, octopus tentacles, or even turtle shells. They appear unusually hard, like fossils carved by time, or remains blessed by magic."
There was a hint of awe and doubt in the killer whale leader's voice. As a magical beast, she had lived for many years, but she had never seen those strange skeletons. Her animal instinct told her that there were unknown secrets hidden behind those skeletons.
After hearing this, Lingling couldn't help but imagine what those skeletons looked like in her little head.
What does it look like? Dark? Scary?
Have they ever been as cute and adorable as Lingling, enjoying life happily?
Lingling couldn't help shaking her head.
No matter what they were like in their lives, they have now become victims of the ruthless time, sleeping forever in the depths of the cracks.
The little guy suddenly felt a little sad, and rubbed the killer whale leader's big head gently.
The killer whale leader quietly let Lingling stick to him, but his voice suddenly became more serious as he continued, "And outside the scattered bones, there's a formation carved into the hard ground. I detected that it resembles an eye, drawn with complex ancient runes, and every line exudes a sinister aura."
"That formation is like the eyes of a demon staring at the seabed. It's extremely evil. It's probably not a natural product, but rather carved into the bottom of the crack by some powerful force."
The appearance of the formation gradually became clearer in the description of the killer whale leader. Little Lingling listened very carefully, and her pink little face became serious.
She listened to the killer whale leader's description and managed to suppress the slight trembling of her little body, but her two little fists were clenched tightly.
At this moment, the little dumpling's small heart was filled with fear and relief.
The fear was that the skeletons in the cracks and the evil formations were unknown territory to her, full of endless dangers.
Fortunately, her magic can restrain those bad things, and the danger can be contained by her and her uncles today, and will not harm her beloved family and friends.
"Thank you, Big Fish, thank you all! Lingling knows."
Lingling silently hugged the killer whale leader as she digested the information she had just received for a while. Finally, she reluctantly pulled away and looked into the killer whale leader's dark, sparkling eyes. She added, "Thank you for your hard work, Big Fish. You should go home. Lingling will go tell the uncles, Fish, what you have detected. There are still very important things waiting for Lingling and the uncles to do."
Upon hearing this, the killer whale leader quietly observed Lingling's expression for a moment, then sighed as he spoke, "Okay, Lingling, you must be careful. If you need help, you can ask that uncle with a fish tail like you to come find us. We've been active nearby lately."
Lingling nodded obediently, and finally touched the big head of the killer whale leader, then swam towards her uncles, looking back every few steps.
"Um—(Goodbye, Lingling.)"
The killer whale leader let out a long cry for the last time, and then led the other whales on the return journey.
As they got further away from Lingling, the light of the purifying magic on their bodies gradually dissipated, and soon they disappeared completely.
Lingling was already in Thor's arms. After noticing that Lingling was in a bad mood after the orcas left, Thor said gently, "Lingling, it's okay. From now on, your Uncle Triton will take you to play with your orca friends."
Lingling raised her head, tilted her little face up, and gave Thor a somewhat forced smile, but was instantly covered in the face by Thor's big palm.
"If we don't want to laugh, then we won't laugh. Lingling can make whatever expression she wants. The uncles will like it."
"Yes, that's right!" Tag and Holly, who came over, responded repeatedly.
Even Triton couldn't help but reach out and poke Lingling's mouth.
Bai Jiu was even more ruthless. He directly played cheerful nursery rhymes in Lingling's mind, trying to drive away her sadness.
Surrounded by the love of her uncles, Lingling felt sad for a moment for no reason, but then she instantly regained her energy.
"Thank you uncles, Lingling is fine. She may just be a little scared. Hehe, Lingling is too timid~" the little guy said, covering his face with his hands a little embarrassedly.
Seeing Lingling finally happy, the uncles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s still happier to see the little Lingling blooming like a sunflower.
Thor did not refute what the little guy said. Seeing that Lingling's mood had almost improved, he began to ask about the situation of the seabed crack.
"Lingling, what does the seabed crack look like? How did your killer whale friend describe it to you?"
Upon hearing this, Lingling immediately put her little hand on the fish's tail and began to repeat the killer whale leader's words with a serious face.
"That's right..."
