Wu An did not hesitate. Although he did not know what the dolphin pod wanted him to do, human curiosity is uncontrollable.
We absolutely have to keep up with this.
What if the dolphin is leading him to find treasure?
It had been almost an hour since the third net was cast, and his luck points were almost depleted. He called on everyone to start casting the net.
Everyone rushed to set up the net.
Wu An wasn't the only one with curiosity; everyone was.
These marine creatures are intelligent; they have helped us many times in the sea. There must be a reason why they suddenly came to us and asked us to follow them.
"Don't be impatient."
"We still need to be careful."
"Aqing, move aside, be careful not to snag your foot."
Fu Yongning whistled and shouted continuously.
The third net came up.
The net bag was slightly flatter than the second net, but it was still okay, with a weight of about one ton. Fan Xiaozhu went to untie it and saw a net full of mantis shrimp. He happily put his hand to his mouth and kissed it.
I'm so happy!
Mantis shrimp are priced well and are easy to sort, making them a high-value catch.
Wu An boosted the luck value of the large dolphin to the maximum, seemingly creating a subtle connection, or perhaps it was just an illusion.
but.
He can also lock onto the dolphin's direction of travel using the system's light spots.
In this way, you won't have to worry about losing track of them.
He watched for a while and found that the direction the dolphins were heading was the area of Ma Weiqun's fishing boat. The light spot representing Hu Zi was no longer visible in the system's light map because his luck value had been cleared.
Old Fu came to ask about the situation.
Everyone chattered about how the dolphins had been found and even formed an arrowhead shape, prompting Old Fu to click his tongue in admiration: "These dolphins are indeed intelligent."
"I guess they saw the arrow markings on the ship and memorized them."
Where are we being taken?
Wu An replied, "Old Fu, don't worry about where we're going, just follow the dolphins."
Old Fu responded and increased the boat's speed.
The dolphins darted back and forth on both sides of the fishing boat, making chattering noises. To be honest, apart from their whistling, which was quite pleasant, the other sounds were rather noisy.
We drove for about half an hour.
Ah Qing couldn't contain herself any longer: "Brother, brother, where exactly is this dolphin taking us? Is it just playing a trick on us?"
Mei Wu and the others didn't say anything, but their brows furrowed.
They ran so far away, and the dolphin pod showed no sign of stopping.
If they just keep running aimlessly like this, what if the dolphins suddenly dive into the sea and run away? They'll be completely helpless.
I can't even find anyone to reason with.
Fu Yongning also said, "Although dolphins are different from killer whales and are not as mischievous, it's not impossible that they're just playing with us."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Only Old Fu remained calm, maintaining the boat's speed at a high level.
Wu An smiled and said, "I don't think so."
"Dolphins aren't that free."
"They've helped me pass on messages before, so they're trustworthy."
Actually, he was quite apprehensive. This was only the second time he had dealt with these dolphins, and they hadn't spent much time together, unlike Tiger.
Aqing's concerns were not without merit.
He had asked Brother Turtle to take him to find ambergris before, and Brother Turtle had tricked him several times.
But worrying won't help.
Curiosity killed the cat; he was really curious to know what the dolphin was up to.
Besides, we've already gone along with it.
If you've really been tricked, then you'll just have to accept it.
Wu An muttered to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and composed, putting on a confident demeanor to avoid causing panic among the people.
He led them to a cool, shady spot under the cockpit to relax, and even asked Aqing to fetch some chilled beer, which was both refreshing and thirst-quenching.
Sipping an ice-cold beer made me feel much better, and I muttered a few complaints about the awful weather.
Even though the fishing boats are moving at full speed now, and the sea breeze feels nice, the weather is still incredibly hot and humid.
Wu An smiled and said, "That's good. Everyone can take a break so that they don't get too tired from working continuously."
A few minutes later, Old Fu's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "There's been a change in the dolphin pod."
Everyone hurry over to the side of the boat to take a look.
The dolphins gathered together on the left front of the fishing boat, swimming one after the other, and then formed a huge circle.
The large dolphin glanced back at the fishing boat, seemingly to remind Wu An and the others to come and see, then leaped high, over the dolphin pod, and plunged into the sea in the center of the circle.
Aqing and the others clapped and cheered, "Great job!"
"Again."
"Wonderful."
Everyone started to cheer.
The large dolphin entered the sea but did not surface. After a while, a small dolphin was pushed to the surface and floated belly up.
Immediately following.
A large dolphin emerged from beneath it, poked its head out, and called out a few times towards the fishing boat.
Wu An quickly told Old Fu to steer the boat to join them.
Ah Qing, who had good eyesight, peered over the side of the boat and said, "Brother, that little dolphin seems to have a problem; it looks like it's dead."
"Holy crap, could this pod of dolphins be sending us here to rescue this baby dolphin?"
"How could I possibly know how?"
Finally, he muttered under his breath, "He's quite good at knowing how to eat."
Wu An looked through the binoculars, his brow furrowing: "That little dolphin seems a bit off..."
"Aqing, go get the net."
Aqing responded and ran to get it.
After the fishing boat approached, the dolphins made way for the larger dolphins, who then moved closer to the boat while watching the smaller dolphins floating nearby.
Aqing lowered the net and caught the baby dolphin.
He couldn't lift it: "Bro, this little dolphin is so heavy."
"Come help me."
Mei Wu, who was standing nearby, quickly offered his assistance.
It took the two of them working together to barely pull the baby dolphin up and onto the deck with a dull thud.
While they were floating in the sea, they couldn't see clearly, but once they got to the deck, they immediately realized something was wrong.
This isn't a dolphin at all.
"A dolphin toy?"
"It really does look strangely like a dolphin."
Wu An touched it; the texture was similar to dolphin skin, indicating it was a bionic dolphin.
Ah Qing flipped over and shouted, "Brother, there's English on this. Can you tell me what it means?"
Wu An looked closely and saw that it was a string of code, without any particular meaning.
Fu Yongning said with a serious expression, "Could this have been placed here by some research institution?"
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Probably not."
"If our domestic research institutions were to release this, there would definitely be clear markings, rather than this string of incomprehensible code."
Fu Yongning's tone changed: "You mean abroad?"
Wu An nodded: "I guess so."
"This is very likely a spy fish."
Aqing asked, "Brother, a spy fish? Fish can be spies?"
Wu An said, "Of course."
"These bionic dolphins are almost indistinguishable from real dolphins. They hide in the ocean and search everywhere. They can track and record the marine environment and even be used for military purposes, making them difficult to guard against."
Aqing exclaimed in amazement.
Mei Wu looked at the dolphins playing and laughing, and suddenly said, "The dolphin pod probably noticed that this dolphin was acting strangely, so they brought us here specifically to see it."
"These dolphins are so smart."
"Very vigilant."
Aqing gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Very patriotic, just like me."
Everyone burst into laughter.
