Chapter 215: Rescue of Manta Rays, Strange Corals
Lu Xingchen cautiously asked from a short distance away, "What if it attacks me?"
Baby seal: "No, no!"
Manta rays are generally mild-mannered and will not attack humans under normal circumstances, but this is a game world.
Lu Xingchen waited for a long time and found that the manta ray did not move, but just pitifully shook its head fins. Only then did she walk over and carefully examine the manta ray's wound.
Finally, she reached out and pulled the hook off the manta ray's pectoral fin.
The hook was made of galvanized iron, very large, and had the words "Seal Hunting Team" engraved on it.
What is a seal hunting team?
Blood gushed from the manta ray's wound. Lu Xingchen didn't have time to think. She put the hook into her backpack, took out a packet of wound medicine, and sprinkled it on the wound.
She was just trying it out, but to her surprise, the wound medicine actually worked. The manta ray's wound healed noticeably, and the bleeding stopped.
The baby seal became even more agitated. It touched the manta ray's severed pectoral fin and said, "Help, help."
Lu Xingchen: ...
Isn't this wound too big? It's broken.
Using gold medicine is useless, unless... the severed pectoral fin is reattached!
Yes, you can sew it on!
Of course, this was just Lu Xingchen's wild guess. She was neither a zoologist nor a veterinarian; she just remembered that her university professor liked to keep fish.
On one occasion, she even witnessed her teacher performing surgery on a fish!
So give it a try!
Lu Xingchen said to the little seal, "Little guy, wait for me, I'll go back and get something."
Baby seal: "What?"
Lu Xingchen had an idea: "You're fast, why don't you go? Go to my raft, ask my grandma for wire and rope, and then quickly transport them back."
The baby seal swam away immediately.
She was much faster than Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen quickly sent a message to Lin Ying, instructing her to take out a one-meter-long iron wire from storage box No. 10, and to disassemble the rope and twist it into a thinner rope that is about the same thickness as the iron wire.
Lin Ying is very skillful, so making these things is no problem for her.
Soon, the baby seal returned, carrying a wire and a rope in its mouth.
Lu Xingchen bent one end of the wire into a hook, tied a rope to it, swam to the manta ray, and said to the little seal, "It will hurt a little, but you must tell it to bear it."
The little seal immediately wooshed and said a few words to the manta ray.
Lu Xingchen noticed that the manta ray gently touched her with its injured pectoral fin.
This manta ray is so big; it must already have some intelligence. It seems there won't be any problems.
Lu Xingchen picked up a wire needle, aligned the two severed pectoral fins of the manta ray, and had the little seal help hold them down as she sewed them up stitch by stitch.
She didn't know if the manta ray was in pain, but it remained obedient and motionless the whole time.
Finally, after more than half an hour, Lu Xingchen sewed the two pectoral fins together. She took out two doses of golden wound medicine and applied them to the sutures of the manta ray.
Finally, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, little one, ask your friend if he's feeling better."
The little seal whimpered a few times and happily said to Lu Xingchen, "Thank you, so much, so much!"
The surgery was a success!
Lu Xingchen felt a great sense of accomplishment. Look, after surviving in the ocean, she can do everything. Not only can she make medicine, but she can also be a veterinarian!
The baby seal pressed its head against the water-sheltered space and said, "Thank you, baby, baby!"
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed that the little guy finally knew to give him the treasure.
The manta ray wiggled its broad pectoral fins, let out two low growls, flicked its long tail, and swam into the depths.
Lu Xingchen scooped the baby seal into the water, held it in his arms, and swam down with the manta ray.
The manta ray stopped under a clump of corals and swept its tail. Only then did Lu Xingchen discover that there was a small treasure chest in the corals.
She was overjoyed and realized that it was the manta ray's thank you gift.
Yes, this manta ray is smart, unlike a baby seal.
