Chapter 305:
Good-looking, liked.
The giant clam pearl was a beautiful porcelain white, with a ring of beautiful gold in the center, like a ribbon winding around.
Of these three pearls, the largest was plump and round, a rare treasure that ancient emperors seldom saw.
Among the other two, one was oval-shaped, but also very good-looking.
Yun Jiao carefully put away the three pearls and went to observe the condition of the giant clam.
The wound she made was small, and for such a large giant clam, it was not even noticeable. Moreover, it had been sutured, so the giant clam looked quite good at the moment.
After Yun Jiao took the pearl from the giant clam, she didn’t bother with anything else. She wanted to observe the situation first.
After circling around a few times, Yun Jiao left.
She didn’t return to her own boat but swam around everywhere in the sea.
Suddenly, a familiar sound wave came. She turned her head and saw a whale shark, and beside the whale shark was a large, pale pink manta ray.
She beckoned, and the two large fish immediately swam towards her.
The manta ray circled Yun Jiao several times.
“Why did you come here?”
This was not their habitat.
‘Amazing, territory expanded.’
It was the whale shark’s voice.
‘Amazing, amazing, hai…’
The manta ray echoed, but its expression was very limited.
Yun Jiao speculated that the manta ray’s current size was not to be underestimated, and the two of them living together would definitely be stronger than before.
So, had they joined forces to expand their territory?
“Not bad, very promising.”
The whale shark swam down, darted under Yun Jiao, and lifted her up.
Yun Jiao also settled onto its enormous back, and was taken around by the two of them.
Then they came to a coral reef, looking at various shapes and vividly colored small fish, jellyfish, and other creatures darting among the coral.
She also opened quite a few sea urchins, and as expected, many fish gathered around again, as well as sea turtles.
The whale shark and manta ray occupied a space beside Yun Jiao with their bodies.
Yun Jiao, who started opening sea urchins again: …
These fish were truly not afraid of her at all.
Her expression was a bit helpless.
Just as her hands were getting tired from opening sea urchins, a deep lowing sound came from the distance.
The sound wave traveled far. From the sound alone, Yun Jiao guessed it was a large creature.
As expected, after waiting for a while, a huge dark shadow gradually appeared in her vision.
And there was more than one.
The small fish around them swam away swiftly as they approached.
With such large humpback whales, they could be sucked in without even knowing when their mouths opened.
The whale shark and manta ray also became a bit agitated.
Humpback whales also fed on small fish, but they had a large appetite.
They were usually gentle in personality, but there still needed to be a sense of distance between animals. Otherwise, if they got too close and were perceived as a threat, especially a group with young, one tail swipe would be disastrous for them.
“Let’s go.”
Yun Jiao patted the whale shark’s back, about to leave, when the sperm whale’s voice sounded in her ear.
‘Please wait a moment.’
‘Save, save the child.’
Yun Jiao stopped. Were they looking for her?
The humpback whales were indeed swimming towards her and soon surrounded her.
The manta ray blocked in front of Yun Jiao, and the whale shark did not leave, but both were agitated.
Yun Jiao patted their heads.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll go see.”
She swam to the front of the largest humpback whale. As she got closer, Yun Jiao’s small body was truly tiny compared to the humpback whale.
The humpback whale’s size was truly imposing.
However, Yun Jiao was not scared. She had hunted prey larger and fiercer than humpback whales before.
“Are you looking for me?”
The humpback whale made a few whimpering sounds, moved aside, and behind it, a humpback whale anxiously brought a sick-looking baby humpback whale.
‘Save it.’
Surrounded by several humpback whales, Yun Jiao calmly swam around the baby humpback whale, but found no wounds on its body.
Then it was internal.
“What’s wrong?”
The baby humpback whale’s mother said, ‘It won’t eat, it will die.’
“Open your mouth.”
Not eating must mean an internal problem.
Yun Jiao was worried it might have ingested something. If it was in its stomach, that would be difficult to deal with. She could make a small incision, but surgery was really not feasible.
The baby humpback whale didn’t understand Yun Jiao’s words yet. Yun Jiao had to manually help it open its mouth.
However, after its mouth was pried open, the little one seemed to understand something and opened it obediently.
It smelled a bit!
Yun Jiao coughed twice and carefully observed the situation in the baby humpback whale’s mouth, finally discovering a clue.
There was something like plastic in the humpback whale’s trachea.
She swam over and reached out, and after a while, she managed to grab that bit of plastic.
It seemed to be a plastic bag.
Fearing she might tear the plastic bag, her movements became extremely careful.
A few minutes later, a complete plastic bag was finally removed.
“This is probably the reason. Are you still uncomfortable?”
She disdainfully shook the thing in her hand. It still contained several dead fish and shrimp. It was likely that when the baby humpback whale was eating, it was caught by this plastic bag and couldn’t enter its stomach. Without digestion, it naturally rotted.
But she dared not discard it carelessly. Fish, turtles, and other marine creatures could not digest this thing.
After the object in the baby humpback whale’s mouth was removed, it clearly felt much better and swam happily around its mother.
It was hungry and wanted to eat.
The humpback whale mother happily nudged her child and left with it.
Seeing this, Yun Jiao prepared to leave with the trash bag, but the other humpback whales were still surrounding her.
Yun Jiao: “???”
“Do you need something else?”
Humpback whales: ‘Barnacles, annoying, uncomfortable.’
Yun Jiao looked at the dense barnacles on their enormous bodies and took a sharp breath.
With so many, how long would it take her to finish alone!
“I can’t do so much alone. How about this, you all come with me first.”
In this situation, she had to call for backup.
The humpback whales obediently followed behind Yun Jiao. Eventually, the largest humpback whale carried her on its back and let her guide the way.
Yun Jiao openly slacked off, since she didn’t have to move herself.
Sitting on the humpback whale’s back, Yun Jiao was bored and picked off a few barnacles with her fingers.
“Tsk tsk, these are quite large.”
These barnacles really reproduced quickly, purely like parasites.
Not only were these marine creatures deeply harmed, but ships also had to be cleaned periodically because too many barnacles attached themselves, making the ship’s hull considerably heavier.
Their family’s ship had also been cleaned several times.
The humpback whales looked slow, but given their size, their speed was not actually slow.
Under Yun Jiao’s command, they headed towards her boat. At this time, the people still fishing at sea, seeing several colossi approaching from afar, gasped.
“What is that thing over there!”
