At the moment when Jiang Ran and Fu Bo paused, several sharp screams suddenly came from the distance.
Fu Bo paused. "What's that sound?"
Jiang Ran was confused for a moment: "I don't know..."
"Little Blue! Hey! Little Blue! Where are you going?"
When the two were confused, the humpback whale that was originally circling nearby suddenly seemed to wake up.
It no longer looked like it was enjoying its leisurely retirement, nor did it roll over and over to bask in the sun and act cute. Instead, it sped up and rapidly flapped its three or four meter long pectoral fins as it swam towards the direction where the sharp sound came from.
Fu Bo did not stop for a moment and swam quickly in the direction where the humpback whale left.
Of course Jiang Ran did not hesitate and dived into the sea to chase after him.
Fu Bo was obviously not very good at swimming. After swimming for only a few steps, he became hesitant and gradually deviated from the direction.
Jiang Ran pulled him back, demonstrated a few moves, and asked him to swim forward with him.
Fu Bo anxiously looked in the direction the humpback whale left. "Could that sound be from one of Xiao Lan's kind? Is it its family calling it back?"
"I'm afraid not," Jiang Ran said solemnly. "Although I can't tell for the moment, that sound is most likely not made by a humpback whale."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Bo became even more anxious.
Fortunately, Jiang Ran was still calm. She led the way in front, and Fu Bo only had to repeat the few movements she taught him. He didn't even need to judge the direction, and just followed her closely.
When they saw Xiaolan's shadow from afar, they knew who made that sharp voice.
The thug in a suit, the overlord of the ocean, the killer whale.
It wasn't even one killer whale, it was a hunting group of killer whales.
At first glance, there were about seven or eight of them. The killer whale hunting group had a clear division of labor: two killer whales swooped down from the left, two dived straight ahead from the right, and three more attacked from the front.
Surrounded on three sides, the target of the hunt was a weak and helpless gray whale mother and calf.
In terms of length, the female gray whale is more than ten meters long, not much different from Little Blue, and much larger than the average killer whale of seven or eight meters in length.
However, it was trapped in heavy blockades and had to protect the weak child behind it. Its anxious and panicked emotions were all revealed in its helpless movements, which were far inferior to the fierce momentum of the killer whales.
Looking at the little gray whale again, it was only four meters long, not even enough to fill the teeth of the killer whale group.
"I remember now."
Jiang Ran, half of his body floating on the sea, said: "The sound just now was a signal that the killer whales use before hunting, to warn their companions."
"But what does it have to do with Guan Xiaolan if the killer whales are hunting?" Fu Bo pointed forward hastily. "Why did it rush forward? Those two whales are obviously not of the same species as it."
As he was speaking, Little Blue had already passed by the gray whale mother and calf from the side. It flapped its huge pectoral fins on both sides and rushed quickly towards the killer whales on the left side that were in a neat formation.
In just that one instant, the two killer whales on the left were scattered.
However, killer whales hunt in teams, and the benefits are obvious.
The two killer whales were just separated, and the other five large killer whales continued to rush towards the gray whale mother and calf, and were about to bite the gray whale mother.
Of course, Xiaolan would not allow this to happen, but as soon as he turned back, he was blocked by the two killer whales.
Although the black and white killer whale was slightly smaller in size, it was no less imposing. It gathered its strength and charged fiercely towards Xiaolan.
"Humpback whales are the enemies of killer whales. The killer whale's unhappiness is its greatest happiness."
Jiang Ran was also very nervous at this time, but she still tried to stay calm and spoke to Fu Bo who was holding her sleeve tightly.
"Don't underestimate the killer whales because they are a little smaller. They are very lethal. They can even prey on large fish, including sharks and blue whales."
"So powerful?" Fu Bo asked in a trembling voice.
Jiang Ran nodded. "When humpback whales are young, killer whales will deliberately separate the humpback whale calves from their mothers, then carry the calves away and eat them."
"I don't know if this memory is etched into the humpback whales' bones, but even when they grow up, they get very excited when they hear the sounds of killer whales hunting. Regardless of whether the prey is one of their own kind or not, they will attack with all their might, and they don't want the killer whales to get a meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Blue broke through the defenses of the two killer whales and rushed towards the gray whale mother and child, flapping his pectoral fins.
The gray whale mother also worked very hard to protect her children. Even though the killer whale hunting group launched raids several times, she was cautious and did not let the other party succeed.
However, when Xiaolan rushed over again, several blood mists had already spread from the mother gray whale's body.
The mother gray whale was injured.
"No, they can't beat us like this."
Jiang Ran also kept a close eye on the situation: "Xiao Lan has called her companions, they should be on their way here."
"Is it too late?" Fu Bo asked worriedly.
This question...
Seeing Jiang Ran silent, Fu Bo immediately understood what she meant.
According to the current situation, by the time the humpback whale detachment arrives, Xiaolan may still be fine, but the gray whale mother and child will definitely have become the dead souls of the killer whale group.
Fu Bo: "Can we help them?"
Jiang Ran: "How can we help? That baby gray whale is twice as big as us."
Fu Bo: "We..."
"Fu Bo! Jiang Ran! Go on!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind.
They both turned around subconsciously, and then saw two long poles thrown from the air and fell directly onto the sea not far away.
The two men immediately swam forward a few steps and grabbed the pole. A closer look revealed that the top of the pole had been sharpened into a point, making it a ready-made weapon.
Look up again.
It turned out that the big ship that had been docked at the shore of the island from the beginning to the end was brought over, and the contestants who had been watching Xiaolan from afar with Fu Bo were still standing on the deck.
Those two poles were thrown down by them.
"Go!" they shouted, "We need to rescue the great whale that loves the humpback!"
Fu Bo waved towards them with all his strength: "I will!"
Jiang Ran looked at Fu Bo: "The killer whale is the overlord of the ocean, and is nicknamed the 'killer whale'. With this fragile weapon..."
"We'll have to try it first." Fu Bo's expression was very serious. "Don't worry, the diving suits distributed by the program team are of guaranteed quality. They can withstand the pressure of the deep sea and can definitely withstand the impact of killer whales... Even if something goes wrong, the life bag will automatically deploy. My life will definitely not be in danger."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Bo bent down and dived into the sea, trying to swim towards the area where the battle took place.
Jiang Ran looked at his figure disappearing in the sea from afar and swallowed the second half of his words.
In nature, survival of the fittest is the norm.
Killer whales will prey on gray whale mothers and calves that are weaker than them. Humpback whales are not vegetarians either, and they will also eat small schooling fish.
We rescued a mother and baby gray whale today. These killer whales will also starve after they leave, and the balance will always be achieved in the end.
only……
Jiang Ran smiled.
What distinguishes humans from livestock and plants is nothing more than this empathy.
Even humpback whales can go against their selfish nature and perform this kind of "altruistic" behavior that is rare in nature. Why can't humans help this suffering gray whale mother and child?
Jiang Ran subconsciously grabbed the ball.
She filmed the scene in detail as the humpback whale tried to break up the killer whale hunting group and protected the gray whale mother and calf soaked in blood mist behind it.
And when she took the next photo, she also included Fu Bo who had just joined the battle.
The tiny human tries to fight against the ocean overlord in the ocean...
Looking back on nearly a thousand years of history, it can be considered a spectacle.
After taking the photos, Jiang Ran released the ball into the air.
"Fu Bo! Wait for me!" She also swam hard towards where the battle was taking place.
I can’t say how much use Jiang Ran and Fu Bo’s joining is, but it is more or less helpful.
Their goal was clear: to confront the killer whales head-on was obviously impossible, so they just stayed in front of the gray whale baby. Once they found a killer whale trying to attack, they would use a thin and sharp pole to force them to deviate in direction, preventing them from harming the gray whale baby.
The gray whale mother was very wary of the two of them joining at first, but when she found out that these two little humans had always been enemies of the killer whale group, she gradually calmed down.
Now that the baby gray whale had someone to guard it, the mother gray whale was gradually able to break away and actively attack the suited thugs who were eyeing her covetously.
The body shape of the gray whale mother is not much different from that of the humpback whale. Previously, she had been restrained because of the need to protect her baby, but once she broke free, things changed immediately.
The killer whales were broken up by Little Blue and then knocked apart by the mother gray whale. They were caught in a dilemma and looked very embarrassed.
Of course, there were still killer whales that wanted to secretly attack the baby gray whales from time to time, and these attackers were of course picked off one by one by Jiang Ran and Fu Bo.
The first two times, they didn't know how powerful the long pole was, and they charged straight at it, getting badly stung on the face. Two streaks of blood mist emerged from their dark "ties", and they didn't dare to be so reckless anymore.
"Fu Bo! Come on!"
"Jiang Ran! Come on!"
“…”
The big ship behind us approached again.
The contestants stood on the deck and shouted loudly.
Jiang Ran was helpless: "If they keep shouting like this, I'll be scared to death by them before I'm scared to death by the killer whales."
"Are you okay?" Fu Bo was full of fighting spirit, and he obviously enjoyed the cheers. "I feel full of energy now. I can fight the killer whale group for another three hundred rounds!"
Jiang Ran reminded: "...There's one on the left."
Fu Bo immediately turned around to look. Since he hadn't yet entered combat mode, the pole was just lying across his chest, and he could only frantically lean on it and poke forward.
In this situation, who can withstand the full force of the killer whale?
Fu Bo knew that he was doomed this time, so he subconsciously closed his eyes and waited to be wrapped in the life bag.
However, after a long while, there was no response from his surroundings. He opened his eyes in confusion, but there was no sign of anything in front of him.
Fu Bo: “?”
Jiang Ran turned his head and said, "I was reminding you to be careful. Look, if a killer whale had really rushed towards you just now, you would definitely be in trouble and would have had to get into the lifeboat right then and there."
Fu Bo was confused: "...Oh, thank you."
Jiang Ran couldn't help but: "Puff——"
Fu Bo: “…”
Is this person just teasing him?
And you said it so nicely!
The author has something to say:
Fu Bo: Today, I have risen!
Jiang Ran: Poof——
