Ye Chenliang stared wide-eyed in astonishment: "Holy crap, what a huge great white shark! Where did it come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two boatmen also poked their heads out, and were equally shocked by the sight before them.
"How...how did you get this up here?"
"It's so big, how much effort must it have taken to get it up here?"
"I don't have that ability."
Feng Ye pointed out into the sea, "This guy came up here, trying to trade me a great white shark for fish and shrimp."
"What?"
The three of them listened in stunned silence, their faces filled with disbelief.
They quickly climbed aboard and rushed to the side of the boat, where they saw the orca with its mouth wide open, waiting for Feng Ye to continue feeding it.
Ye Chenliang exclaimed in amazement, "This orca is incredibly intelligent!"
This wasn't his first time seeing an orca, so he naturally recognized it.
"Absolutely! It's practically a spirit."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "It is said that orcas have a very high intelligence, equivalent to that of a 15-year-old child."
"She is indeed quite clever."
Ye Chenliang laughed heartily, "I remember the first time the Dongsheng set sail, we encountered an orca and it even gave us a manta ray. This time it gave us a great white shark. I really hope we encounter them a few more times. Maybe they'll even give us gifts."
"That's wishful thinking."
Feng Ye also laughed.
The orcas have "gifted" him more than twice; last year they even gifted him and A-Can three great blue sharks.
However, each time they encountered orcas "gifting" them, the process was thrilling and exciting.
Their way of "giving gifts" is so unique—they simply lift the "gifts" into the air and fly them onto the ship—that could easily cause an accident.
He urged, "Alright, stop looking and hurry up and help me scoop up the fish and shrimp. The orca is waiting."
"Okay."
The three of them quickly found shovels and, like Feng Ye, first scooped the fish and shrimp into a basket, then carried it to the side of the boat and poured it into the orca's mouth.
The four of them had a great time.
There were plenty of worthless fish and shrimp left on the ship, not only on the deck but also in the fish hold, weighing at least four or five thousand catties.
Even if it were just one killer whale, or even a whole horde, it would be enough for them to have a good meal.
As it swallowed basket after basket of fish and shrimp, the orca swayed its tail happily and made cheerful "whimpering" sounds.
It ate countless baskets before finally being full. With a satisfied cry, it plunged headfirst into the sea.
"Oh, you're just leaving like that?"
Ye Chenliang gazed at the sea with a hint of regret.
He wanted to feed her a little longer.
The two boatmen shared this feeling.
Feeding big fish in the sea is an experience that not everyone has the chance to have, and you can brag about it for a long time afterward.
Feng Ye patted Ye Chenliang on the shoulder: "Of course they'll leave once they've eaten their fill..."
Before the words were even finished, the orca suddenly emerged from the water and leaped high, jumping three or four meters out of the surface.
It drew a graceful arc in the air before falling back onto the sea, creating a huge splash.
Before the group could even gasp in amazement, the orca leaped up again...
With each rise and fall, the distance increases, as if bidding them farewell in this way.
Feng Ye was alright; he had seen orcas many times and had witnessed similar scenes several times before.
Ye Chenliang and the other two were captivated by the orca's series of movements, watching it intently.
"Wow, is it putting on a show? That's so cool!"
Ye Chenliang's eyes were full of surprise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
The other two boatmen echoed his sentiments, their faces flushed with excitement, constantly marveling at this rare sight.
Even after the orca disappeared below the horizon, the three of them remained gazing at it for a long time, reluctant to look away.
"Alright, stop looking, the orcas have already gone far away."
Feng Ye smiled and urged, "There's still a lot of work to do. The Great White Shark is still lying here; we need to take care of it."
The three of them then came to their senses and reluctantly looked away.
A boatman looked at the great white shark curiously and asked, "Is this great white shark dead? It hasn't moved at all in so long."
"I don't know. I was going to go check on it, but the orca interrupted me, and I forgot about it afterwards. But it looks like it's dead."
Feng Ye wasn't sure either, so he quickly went forward to check carefully and confirmed that the great white shark was indeed dead.
Indeed, even if a whale is large and incredibly resilient, it couldn't withstand being gored by an orca so many times.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's dead. Go get a knife and bleed it. It's been dead for a while, but it shouldn't be too late."
Shark is not tasty to begin with, and if the blood isn't drained, it's even worse.
Moreover, such a large great white shark, even if it's cheap, can still fetch a decent price.
Since it was a gift from an orca, why not take it?
Ye Chenliang and the other two responded and quickly got to work.
One went to get a knife to bleed the great white shark, while the other two picked up shovels and brooms to continue cleaning the deck.
Feng Ye returned to the cockpit, glanced at the fish finder screen, adjusted the course slightly, lit a cigarette, and took a break.
However, before he could finish his cigarette, an unusual ripple suddenly appeared on the distant sea.
He picked up the binoculars that were lying to the side and took a closer look. His mouth dropped open in astonishment.
Those waves were no ordinary ocean waves; they were caused by a pod of killer whales.
There are quite a few, at least a dozen.
"Damn, did that orca bring all its relatives over after it went back?"
Orcas are social animals and generally do not stray too far from their group when they are alone.
He quickly went down to the deck and called to Ye Chenliang and the others, "Don't pour it out yet, keep it to feed the orcas, they're here again."
"ah?"
The three of them kept their heads down and worked without noticing anything unusual on the sea.
Upon hearing this, they all stood up straight and looked up.
On the distant sea, the waves rolled, and the group of killer whales appeared and disappeared, swimming towards this place at lightning speed.
They are agile and move freely in the seawater, occasionally leaping out of the water.
The three of them stared in disbelief, feeling both surprised and delighted.
"So many orcas!"
"So many orcas! This is quite a sight; it's even creating waves."
"Could they be here for food too?"
Feng Ye nodded and said with a smile, "That's possible. It's likely that the orca returned to its pod and brought the whole pod with it."
"Come on, let's get a basket and put the fish and shrimp in it first..."
The three of them excitedly ran to the cabin, grabbed more baskets, and then continued to shovel fish and shrimp into the baskets.
The orca was very fast and swam to the side of the boat in no time.
This group of orcas varied in size and shape, with the smallest being only about three meters long and still a calf, while the largest was seven or eight meters long, and all of them were plump and strong.
They swam happily around the hull, making a series of "whimpering" sounds, expressing their excitement and anticipation.
