The killer whale's skin was very slippery, and there was nothing to hold onto, so Feng Ye had to pull himself up onto its back by holding onto the fishing net.
Once he was on the orca's back, he saw the wounds on the orca's head and back, with the skin torn open and several pieces of flesh missing.
It's shocking.
Moreover, the fishing net had dug deep into the injured wound.
"hiss……"
Feng Ye felt pain just looking at it.
No wonder it got so angry that it went crazy and capsized the boat.
Judging from the situation, the orca was probably injured by the propeller first, and then crashed headfirst into the net, making a big hole in it.
This explains why the fishing net got stuck in the wound and around the dorsal and pectoral fins.
The orca's dorsal fin was upright and very tall, only a head shorter than Feng Ye.
This indicates that it is a male killer whale.
The female killer whale's dorsal fin is distinctly sickle-shaped and less than 0.7 meters high.
The orca's dorsal fin is so huge that it means there was a massive amount of engineering work involved.
Feng Ye stood on the slippery back of the orca, holding onto the fishing net with his left hand to prevent himself from falling, while his right hand used scissors to slowly cut the net away...
More than ten minutes passed before the fishing net on the orca's dorsal fin was cut open by more than half.
Fortunately, the orca was very cooperative throughout and didn't move around much.
Ah-chan was amazed by what he saw on the Rising Sun ship, finding it all incredibly fascinating.
These days, the exploration of the ocean is still in its early stages, and information is scarce.
Humans have always been filled with awe for large marine creatures.
When encountering them, people usually run as far away as possible and dare not get close to them.
He really didn't know that such a huge creature was so intelligent and so trusting and friendly towards humans.
Watching Feng Ye steadily stand on the orca's back to untangle the fishing net, he felt relieved, but also a little itchy to do the same.
It's a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with such large marine creatures.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next one will come.
It's even possible that there won't be a next time, and there will never be another chance.
"Since Brother Ye climbed on it and was fine, I should be fine too..."
Ah-Can cheered himself up, took off his clothes and pants, and plunged into the sea, swimming towards the orca not far away.
As for the Rising Sun, let it drift with the tide.
Anyway, the waves at sea aren't too big right now, so it won't drift too far.
Why did you come down here too?
Looking at Ah-Can struggling in the sea, Feng Ye asked in surprise.
The distance wasn't far to begin with, and in no time at all, Ah-Can swam up to the orca and excitedly reached out to touch its body.
The orca made no response to A-Can's arrival and petting, remaining motionless, leaving one unsure whether it welcomed him or not.
"I saw that the orcas were so gentle and docile, and there was no danger at all, so I wanted to try to get close to them."
A smile of satisfaction and curiosity spread across A-Can's face as he touched the orca's smooth skin.
This was the first time he had ever been so close to such a large marine creature, and he felt both nervous and excited.
"Now that you're here, stop dawdling down there and come up here to help."
"Okay, Brother Ye."
Ah-chan, holding onto the dangling fishing net, first climbed onto the orca's freed left pectoral fin, and then onto its back.
Standing on the back of an orca, feeling the rise and fall of its body and the rhythm of its breathing, I was filled with wonder and excitement.
"Hold on tight, the orca's back is slippery, don't fall off."
Seeing Ah Can's excited expression, Feng Ye smiled and gave him a hint.
Ah-chan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then began to help.
He had no tools with him, so he could only pull the fishing net up forcefully to separate it from the killer whale's skin, making it easier for Feng Ye to insert his scissors and cut it.
With Ah-chan's help, efficiency improved significantly.
"It looks so docile and motionless right now, who would have thought that it was so powerful that it capsized a ship not long ago?"
"Even the most docile animal will go berserk when it is hurt. Look at the injuries it has sustained; it would be strange if it didn't go crazy."
Feng Ye didn't say anything, and A-Can hadn't paid much attention to it yet.
Upon closer inspection of the orca's wounds, he couldn't help but grimace, "Hiss! So many wounds, and so deep, there's practically no flesh left. How much pain he must be in!"
"Now you know, it's only because orcas don't eat people, otherwise those people would be in their stomachs."
"Brother Ye, what should we do about its injuries?"
Feng Ye shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do but let it recover on its own."
He's not a veterinarian, how would he know how to treat these injuries?
Besides, they don't have any medication to treat it.
Fortunately, orcas are huge, with thick skin and a strong ability to recover. These wounds look scary, but for them, they will probably heal in no time.
The two worked in perfect harmony, one pulling and the other cutting, and the fishing net on the dorsal fin was gradually untied.
Then the two went into the water and continued to untangle the fishing net that was tangled on the right fin.
When the last piece of the fishing net was cut, the orca seemed to tremble slightly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from its shoulders, and it looked very relaxed.
Instead of flapping its pectoral fins as eagerly as before, it swam forward a distance before excitedly slapping the surface of the water.
"Waaaaah..."
The orcas' calls sounded cheerful and joyful.
Then it began to frolic and leap on the sea surface.
It leaped out of the sea several times, tracing graceful parabolas before falling back into the water.
Each time, it stirs up towering waves.
Watching the orcas frolic and leap joyfully on the surface of the sea, Feng Ye and A-Can both wore happy smiles.
Ah-Can clapped his hands excitedly and said with a look of delight, "Brother Ye, is it thanking us?"
"I think so, it's definitely very happy right now."
"This orca is truly intelligent."
"Of course, creatures with high intelligence are generally more spiritual."
A smile appeared on Feng Ye's lips. He had done something meaningful and was in a great mood.
"Alright, after all this trouble, it's finally done. We should head back now."
As Feng Ye spoke, he looked up at the Rising Sun and was startled: "Holy crap, the ship's gone..."
It turns out that the Rising Sun had already traveled quite a distance, estimated to be about a kilometer, and was accelerating away due to the waves stirred up by the orca.
More importantly, they were also affected, bobbing up and down on the sea, being pushed away in the opposite direction.
"Brother Ye, what should we do?"
Ah-chan also noticed the problem and panicked a bit.
"What else can we do? Let's just swim."
The two men used both hands and feet, struggling vigorously in the water, swimming towards the Rising Sun.
However, the waves created by the leaping of orcas greatly affect their swimming speed.
Let alone chasing the increasingly distant Asahi, even just staying afloat from being swept away by the waves is a problem.
"Hey bro, stop jumping. If you keep bouncing around, we won't be able to get back."
