Everyone on the boat watched nervously.
Fang Youqun patted his chest, looking frightened.
In fact, it was not just Fang Youqun, many people dared not even breathe a word.
The visual impact of the two giant beasts, each nearly twenty meters long, is no less than that of an army of thousands.
"No one is allowed to come near the ship." Xiang Yang stared at the sea, opened his hands, and stopped all the crew members behind him.
The crew members were not fools. Seeing the two giant beasts going crazy in the ocean, they dared not get close to the side of the ship.
A group of people were crowded under the cabin, but their necks were stretched out.
"Look, that whale shark is going to fight back."
Chen Qingsheng shouted loudly.
Everyone's eyes widened.
The result was disappointing to everyone.
Although the giant squid was very big, it did not look like a stupid big guy at all. Its tentacles were very flexible. It pulled back the tentacle that was about to be bitten by the whale shark and avoided the bite of the whale shark. Then it slapped the back of the approaching male humpback whale.
Suddenly, the crew members' hearts were in their throats.
"It's okay. Humpback whales have thick skin and flesh. Even killer whales find it difficult to tear open their skin and fat and injure their shins. A single blow from the squid's tentacles won't kill them."
Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. When a squid grows to this size, except for humans, there is basically no other creature on this planet that can kill it.
A giant squid with a body length of more than 20 meters, I'm afraid even a blue whale would be unable to do anything to it.
Of course, humpback whales and whale sharks are not vegetarians either.
If a humpback whale or whale shark encountered this giant squid alone, it would of course have to escape in a panic.
But now the giant squid is facing two humpback whales and a whale shark, and there is also a killer whale watching closely.
"This giant squid won't get any advantage." Xiang Yang said firmly.
None of the crew members spoke.
The battle before his eyes was truly too shocking and dangerous.
The crew members are no strangers to whale sharks, as they are very famous in the ocean.
In some places, whale sharks are even regarded as gods and are called g, which means Mr. Fish.
In Kenya, people believe that the gods threw shillings on whale sharks, which is why they have such mysterious spots on their bodies.
Normally, whale sharks are docile and slow-moving, drifting in the oceans in a relaxed manner.
In fact, when whale sharks become ferocious, they can dive quickly into the deep sea, like an eagle swooping down from a high altitude. They can stay at depth for a long time and fight a group of great white sharks on their own under the sea.
But even such a ferocious ocean overlord was chased by the giant squid and had no way to go up or down.
"boom!"
The tentacles hit the male humpback whale's back heavily, directly knocking the more than ten-meter-long male humpback whale from the sea surface to the seabed.
The tentacle's power remained undiminished, and it slammed heavily into the sea, causing a huge wave several stories high.
Then, the tentacle was pulled back in an instant, and lashed towards the male humpback whale again with an overwhelming force. The enormous power seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth.
Fang Youqun swallowed and said with some difficulty: "If this tentacle hit me, I would probably break several bones on the spot, right?"
Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun and said nothing.
In fact, if we calculate the strength of the giant squid based on the pressure of the sea water depth where the giant squid lives, a normal adult man would not need any rescue if he was hit by it, and would be directly cremated.
“Woo—”
Even though the male humpback whale had thick skin and flesh, it still felt uncomfortable being hit by the giant squid. After sinking to the bottom of the water, it flapped its door-like fins quickly and used its huge head to hit the giant squid's head.
With the impact force of a humpback whale, if a killer whale is hit by it, its skin will immediately crack and bleed profusely.
The head is the only weak point of a giant squid and the only place with bones in the body. If the giant squid is hit, it will definitely be injured.
Seeing the humpback whale rushing towards it as if it was risking its life, the whale shark next to it opened its bloody mouth again. The giant squid weighed the issue for a moment, immediately retracted its tentacles, and swam quickly away. It was trying to escape.
"Huh." Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. When the body grows to more than ten or twenty meters, the strength increases geometrically with every meter increase in size. The giant squid finally ran away. If it had fought to the death, these whales would definitely not have been its match.
Several whales did not chase it, probably because they knew they were no match for the giant squid.
Two humpback whales and the whale shark swam slowly together in the ocean, sizing each other up.
Whale sharks, like humpback whales, are both very docile large creatures.
Some whale sharks also have a strange habit of gathering together to hunt through fishing nets.
Because of this habit of whale sharks, it is easy for humans to accurately mark their locations.
Additionally, whale sharks have an extremely keen sense of smell.
In the past, some whaling ships would often hang fresh silver fish at the stern to attract whale sharks.
Experts from the World Wildlife Fund also used this method to select 30 whale sharks in a bay near Papua Province in eastern Indonesia, and implanted pill-sized radio sensors in their bodies to track them.
"Did the giant squid run away?" Fang Youqun stretched his neck and looked at the sea for a while, asking uncertainly.
"You ran away. Look at what a mess you are in." Chen Qingsheng said unhappily.
Fang Youqun immediately cried out in regret, "We should have just dragged in a net. There was a 20-meter-long cuttlefish. How much would it have sold for if we had dragged it back?"
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes.
It is true that the bigger the seafood, the more valuable it is.
But this does not include giant squids that are over 20 meters long.
"Stop complaining, give me a diving suit, and I'll go down and take a look at the humpback whale." Xiang Yang said.
The male humpback whale was hit on the back by the giant squid. The skin on his entire back was cracked and blood was flowing from his back. Xiang Yang was heartbroken. The reason why he dared to lead the crew to the sea so unscrupulously, in addition to the mysterious jade shell, was that these two humpback whales were his greatest confidence.
With these two humpback whales around, most marine predators dared not approach Xiang Yang's fishing boat.
If the male humpback whale died from its wound infection, Xiang Yang would suffer a huge loss on this trip.
When Chen Qingsheng heard Xiang Yang's words, he was immediately confused. He said awkwardly, "Captain, it's not a good idea for you to go down now. Squids are very cunning and might come back to attack us. It's better to wait a while before going down."
