Xiang Yang drank half a bottle of drinking water on the deck to replenish his body's water, then pretended to stretch his waist, put on his diving suit again, and jumped into the sea.
In the eyes of other crew members, Xiang Yang is a typical workaholic who values money more than his life.
Little did people know that Xiang Yang was actually like a fish in water under water. With the mysterious jade shell, he would not feel any discomfort even if he soaked in the water for a whole day. In fact, he would feel more comfortable than on land.
But it is different for other crew members. They will experience various discomforts in their bodies after staying on the seabed for a long time. After coming out of the water, their bodies will be dehydrated to a certain extent. Some people will even feel dizzy due to the change in pressure.
Going down to the bottom of the sea again, Xiang Yang was about to dive deeper when he suddenly saw an extremely eye-catching scene on the sea surface.
It turned out that the sea lion that had followed Xiang Yang and the crew upstream also swam to the surface of the sea.
Because of the impact of the abalone, Xiang Yang and the crew forgot about the sea lion after they climbed up the ladder to the deck, so the little guy climbed up the ladder desperately.
But the ladder on Xiang Yang's fishing boat was an iron ladder with a distance of nearly 30 centimeters between each two steps. How could a sea lion climb up with its short limbs
The sea lion struggled for a long time at the ladder, but not only did it fail to climb up, the noise it made even startled the Steller's sea eagle that was recuperating on the ship.
In the past few days, the Steller's sea eagle has been on Xiang Yang's boat and the crew has been delivering various delicacies including roast chicken and squid to it at irregular times and quantities every day. Its belly has been round and it seems to have gained weight.
With good food, good water and safety, the Steller's sea eagle directly regards the deck of the fishing boat as its own territory. It patrols from time to time every day, and scares the seabirds flying around the fishing boat with its fangs and claws. At the dock, it also drove away a bobcat that ran to the fishing boat to steal fish after smelling the fish.
It is true that the deck of a fishing boat has now become a taboo for the Steller's sea eagle. It strictly prohibits any creature from approaching except the two-legged creatures that bring it food and water every day.
Eagles and eagles are both extremely ferocious birds of prey, and the Steller's sea eagle is the best in the eagle family.
There are records of Steller's sea eagles preying on fur seals on the vast ocean. A foreign crew member once filmed and uploaded a complete video of a Steller's sea eagle preying on a lone fur seal.
The video shows three Steller's sea eagles taking turns attacking a gray-black fur seal floating on the sea to breathe.
At the beginning, the fur seal seemed to be at ease facing the three Steller's sea eagles alone. Not only could it breathe leisurely, it would sometimes sink to the bottom of the sea to play with the three Steller's sea eagles, and sometimes float to the surface of the sea with its mouth full of fangs to bite the three Steller's sea eagles hard, and each bite would take in a mouthful of eagle feathers.
But gradually, after the three Steller's sea eagles launched several attacks in an organized and disciplined manner, they finally slowly consumed the fur seal's physical strength. The fur seal's dive time became shorter and shorter, and it had to gasp for air every time it surfaced to breathe. It could no longer fight a guerrilla war with the Steller's sea eagle with ease.
At the end of the video, the fur seal was grabbed by the largest of the three Steller's sea eagles and flew directly out of the sea. One can imagine what happened to it.
Of course, the video of a sea eagle preying on a fur seal does not prove that the sea eagle is more powerful than the fur seal.
In nature, it is also common to see sea eagles being dragged into the water and bitten to death by fur seals.
Especially when a lone sea eagle encounters a group of fur seals, if the sea eagle is bitten by any of the fur seals, it will completely bid farewell to the blue sky and white clouds.
At this moment, Xiang Yang was watching the two guys confronting each other.
The Steller's sea eagle stood at the stern of the ship, its huge wings already spread out and its strong and powerful claw constantly reaching out from the side of the ship, as if it would rush out like a sharp sword in the next moment and turn the sea lion into its trophy.
The sea lion under the side of the ship was not to be outdone. Facing the provocation of the sea eagle, it bared its fangs and kept making low whimpering sounds from its throat, as if it was going to fight to the death with the sea eagle in the next moment, to decide who was superior and who lived and died.
Xiang Yang stroked his forehead. How could he have forgotten about these two guys? Fortunately, he found them early? If he had found them a step later? Xiang Yang had no doubt that one of the two guys was now slowly enjoying the corpse of the other.
Don't think that the Steller's sea eagle only dares to stand on the side of the ship to threaten the fur seal? The fur seal also seems to only dare to confront under the ship. They look a bit like two people arguing? The one standing on the high side says you come up, and the one standing on the low side says you come down! In fact, these two cute creatures are very ferocious.
Not to mention the Steller's sea eagle? It is a fierce character that dares to fight with squids that are as big as itself on the seabed, and dares to snatch food from humpback whales that are hundreds of times bigger than itself.
As for sea lions? Don’t be fooled by their cute appearance. They are very friendly to humans. When they see strangers, they will raise their heads and wave their front limbs to greet and say hello. In fact, they are also very ferocious beasts.
There was once a scientific expedition team in Antarctica that filmed a video of fur seals brutally preying on penguins. A group of hungry fur seals rushed onto the ice floes from under the water and slaughtered the penguins frantically and cruelly. They used their sharp teeth to tear apart the penguins' thick fur and then ate them.
Although the word "dog" is in the name of fur seals, they are actually not only very aggressive, but even more aggressive than bears. Someone once filmed a precious video of fur seals besieging polar bears in the Arctic.
Xiang Yang dared to guarantee that if the wound of the Steller's sea eagle had not yet healed, it would be a bit of a cowardice. If the sea lion could not climb onto the deck, these two guys would definitely be fighting to the death.
Xiang Yang rescued the sea eagle and brought it onto the boat, and he owed the sea dog a favor. Of course, Xiang Yang would not watch these two guys fighting each other.
So Xiang Yang swam quickly towards the sea lion and tried to hold it in his arms.
Faced with a powerful enemy, this time the sea lion was not as obedient as before. It broke free from Xiang Yang's arms and continued to stare at the side of the ship. Its teeth were bared and a deeper and louder whimper came from its throat. It looked like a dog that wanted to fight with another dog. No matter how the owner pulled it back, it wouldn't work. If the owner pulled it too hard, it would bite the owner.
"Chiu—"
When the Steller's sea eagle saw Xiang Yang approaching the fur seal, it immediately let out a loud eagle cry, spread its wings, and rushed towards the fur seal on the sea like a sharp sword.
"Damn it!" Xiang Yang's eyes suddenly widened with an extremely annoyed expression. He was so busy pulling the sea dog out of the fight that he forgot to ask someone to pull the Steller's sea eagle. The sea dog's breakaway just now must have made the Steller's sea eagle mistakenly think that the sea dog was going to attack Xiang Yang, so it came to protect him.
