Chapter 80: Riding An Orca To Go To Sea
That goes without saying, of course I want to!
Compared to others, Yun Xiaowu was much braver.
Yun Jiao: “The orcas are here, let’s go play in the sea!”
Yun Xiaowu agreed without even thinking.
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
Of course, he also worried, “Sister, do you think those orcas will let me ride them? Will they bite me?”
Those orcas have such big mouths, he couldn’t handle being bitten by one.
“No.”
“Wait, we need to bring a net bag.”
Last time, they suffered from not bringing a net bag.
Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaowu first ran home to get their net bags, hung them on their waists, and then headed straight for the seaside.
While Yun Xiaowu was wondering where his sister was going to find orcas, he saw her lead him to a secluded, uninhabited reef and start singing into the sea.
She was singing the wordless chant he had heard before.
It was mysterious and distant, and Yun Xiaowu was mesmerized.
“Wuwuwu~~~”
Before long, the calls of orcas echoed.
Yun Xiaowu looked over and was shocked.
Over a dozen orcas, big and small, were swimming towards them.
Their enormous bodies surged in the sea surface, truly a shocking sight.
His sister… could summon orcas!
Yun Xiaowu was stunned. His sister must be a deity of the sea!
“Let’s go, Fifth Brother.”
Yun Xiaowu was led into the sea by his sister’s soft, little chubby hand. At this moment, his mind was still hazy, thinking that he was a little deity’s older brother!
Because of their large size, orcas cannot get too close to the coast, otherwise, they risk getting stranded.
So Yun Xiaowu and Yun Jiao had to swim further into the sea for a while.
After they swam over, three younger orcas from the pod immediately swam around them.
‘Two people, happy.’
‘Human, pet me, pet me.’
‘I was here first, pet me.’
‘Keep calling, your voices are nice.’
‘Good-looking humans, talk to us, your voices are the nicest.’
Even with only three young ones, the frequency of their chatter in Yun Jiao’s mind was overwhelming.
Yun Jiao patted their heads.
“Don’t talk!”
But she didn’t pat them hard; it was more like petting, which made the baby orcas even more excited.
Yun Xiaowu, trembling with excitement, also touched the bodies of the baby orcas.
The baby orcas felt both of them and concluded that they preferred the white, soft, little human.
The little human’s voice was also super nice.
Yun Jiao’s current size was manageable for the baby orcas to carry.
However, Yun Xiaowu was larger and would need a bigger orca.
So Yun Jiao went to discuss with the larger orcas. One particularly enthusiastic semi-adult male orca swam out, expressing willingness to take Yun Xiaowu.
Then, with a mix of nervousness, trepidation, and excitement, Yun Xiaowu climbed onto the orca’s back.
Yun Jiao: “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s play quickly~”
Orcas that have eaten are fond of playing and are completely restless; even if they don’t play, they will squabble daily with the orcas in their own pod, and can even argue with orcas from other pods in the ocean based on different audio frequencies.
Long-distance communication!
It was very lively.
Riding on the orca’s back, Yun Xiaowu finally experienced what it meant to be lightning fast!
“Ahhhh! This is too cool, hahaha…”
After this trip, he could brag to all his friends in the village for years!
It’s a shame there wasn’t a camera to capture this moment.
In just a few minutes, they had already traveled a considerable distance from the coast, and soon the coastline would be out of sight.
“Brother, brother, hold your breath, they’re about to dive.”
Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaowu swam side by side, and she gave him a reminder.
Yun Xiaowu immediately nodded, indicating he understood.
He held his breath before the orca dived.
The next second, they entered the underwater world.
As soon as they dived into the sea, Yun Xiaowu vaguely saw a large fish with grayish-white skin and a mouth full of triangular sharp teeth swimming towards them.
He widened his eyes, almost choking on water from fear.
That… that’s a shark!
Yun Jiao naturally saw it too.
However, the moment the shark saw the orcas, it turned and swam away.
Its reputation as a street rogue of the ocean wasn’t just for show.
But the orcas didn’t intend to let the shark go just like that, and several orcas chased after it.
Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaowu watched an exciting hunting scene unfold.
The ferocious Great White Shark was being chased and fled in all directions.
The orcas, with their superior intelligence, surprisingly worked together to corner the Great White Shark.
Of course, the orcas had already eaten and weren’t very interested in the Great White Shark’s flesh; they were purely looking for practice.
Finally, they seemed to have gotten tired of playing and let the Great White Shark leave.
Yun Xiaowu watched, utterly awestruck.
He would never have witnessed this scene if he hadn’t been with the orcas.
These orcas were too amazing!
“Gurgle gurgle…”
He couldn’t hold his breath any longer; he had been watching for almost five minutes.
Yun Jiao patted the orca she was riding and headed towards the sea surface.
Yun Xiaowu took a breath and looked around. They were already in an unknown location, surrounded by seawater.
“Where did we come to?”
Yun Jiao shook her head: “I don’t know, but they know the way back.”
Hearing this, Yun Xiaowu was completely relieved.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s dive again, I saw so many fish just now!”
The underwater world was truly spectacular.
Unfortunately, the deeper they went, the stronger the water pressure became, and he couldn’t go too deep.
Yun Jiao, however, had no such worries.
“Fifth Brother, I’ll dive down with the orcas later, don’t worry.”
Yun Xiaowu wondered how deep they would dive.
By the time he looked again, Yun Jiao and the orca carrying her had already disappeared somewhere.
Yun Xiaowu: …Alright, his sister was no ordinary person!
Yun Jiao dived down directly, without even needing the baby orca to guide her. The deeper she went, the colder the seawater became, and the dimmer the light grew.
At depths of several hundred meters, it was impossible to descend without a specialized wetsuit and oxygen.
As soon as she reached the seabed, she saw vast expanses of coral reefs, sea urchins, seaweed, and algae.
The variety of fish was even more colorful.
Yun Jiao liked eating sea urchins, and today she had brought her net bag and tools, so she decided to get some sea urchins first.
The baby orcas circled around her. Many fish, upon seeing the orcas, either fled or hid.
Yun Jiao opened a sea urchin, and the sea urchin roe inside immediately attracted the attention of the orcas.
“Ying ying ying…”
‘Smells delicious, want to eat.’
Yun Jiao: “Here, have some.”
Sea urchins are delicious even raw; not only humans enjoy them, but many fish, sea turtles, crabs, and sea snails in the ocean also like them.
The orca finished the sea urchin roe in a few bites and pestered her for more.
For orcas, sea urchins are like snacks.
They are tasty but not filling.
Yun Jiao opened several more sea urchins, but the baby orcas still weren’t satisfied and circled her, whining and begging for more.
Yun Jiao got tired of just opening sea urchins and gave them a slap each.
“Go away, I haven’t eaten yet!”
Saying that, she huffily opened one for herself.
Ah… delicious!
