"You're such a fool." He Mingde rolled his eyes. "Others would hide when they see a sea eagle, why are you the only one who wants to get close to it?"
Zhou Wang also rubbed Fang Youqun's head. "Last time you saw a dolphin, you wanted to take it back. What on earth are you thinking about? Do you want to eat tiger penis when you see a tiger, or bear paw when you see a panda?"
"I didn't want to eat it. I wanted to send the sea eagle to the museum to make it into a specimen, and I wanted to send the dolphin to the ocean park." Fang Youqun said aggrievedly.
"Okay, stop talking. Xiaochen, you stay at the stern and watch over your brother. The rest of you, follow me and stand on the deck. We'll raise the nets and clean the fish, then wait for the captain to come on board." He Mingde shouted.
"Yes, Brother De." Chen Qingsheng and others immediately agreed.
Since Xiang Yang was not on the boat, He Mingde's words were orders. Following He Mingde's order, all the crew members started moving.
On the other side, the female whale carrying Xiang Yang was not swimming very fast and was gradually left behind by the male whale which was moving at full speed.
Xiang Yang sat on the female whale's big head and looked helplessly at the direction the male whale was swimming. If nothing unexpected happened, the sea eagle would definitely be finished.
Xiang Yang had thought about jumping into the sea and swimming over to rescue the sea eagle, but if he did that, Xiang Yang's biggest secret would inevitably be exposed.
Xiang Yang would be willing to save the sea eagle if he could do so, but saving the sea eagle at the cost of exposing his biggest secret was a bit too much to ask.
Seeing that the male whale was less than a hundred meters away from the place where the sea eagle fell, Xiang Yang stood up from the female whale's head.
“Wow!”
The sea eagle, which had been floating motionless on the sea, suddenly flapped its wings, splashing a pool of sea water on the sea surface. The giant octopus that was tightly wrapped around the sea eagle also let go of the sea eagle and slid off the sea eagle's body and dived to the bottom of the sea.
"Oh? Did these two guys stop fighting after noticing the humpback whale?" Xiang Yang looked at the sea eagle and the giant octopus that were grappling with each other on the sea surface just now, and now they were fleeing separately, one heading up to the sky, and the other heading down to the seabed.
It seems that these two guys are not stupid. They know that if they continue fighting, they will die regardless of whether they win or lose.
“Bang!”
Seeing the giant octopus and the sea eagle separated from each other, the male whale flapped its tail fiercely and dived towards the bottom of the sea, completely ignoring the sea eagle circling on the sea.
Xiang Yang frowned as he looked at the sea eagle whose body was slightly tilted to the left above the sea.
In the fight just now, the sea eagle seemed to be on equal terms with the octopus, but in fact, it was the sea eagle that was injured.
Xiang Yang could clearly see that the sea eagle was flapping its right wing vigorously, trying to fly into the sky, but its left wing remained spread out in a slightly bent state and did not move at all. With only one wing flapping, the sea eagle not only could not fly too high into the sky, but its body was tilted more and more, as if it would fall into the sea at any time.
Xiang Yang looked at the sea eagle gliding in circles on the sea and immediately realized that the sea eagle was injured and its left wing might even have a broken bone. If no one rescued it, it would be impossible for it to fly back to the coast from this sea area.
"Bang!"
Just then a loud noise was heard on the sea.
Xiang Yang looked carefully and found that it was a male whale flying out of the sea and then crashing heavily onto the sea surface, causing the noise.
“Woo—”
The male whale hitting the sea surface let out a joyful whale cry, flapped its pectoral fins vigorously to flip its entire body over, with its belly exposed above the water and its pectoral fins slapping the sea water excitedly.
He looked as happy as a 200-pound kid.
This is not over yet. After playing on the sea for a while, the male whale turned over, with its big head floating above the surface. A column of water more than two meters high spurted out from its hole. Then it opened its mouth in the direction of the sea eagle and spit out a nearly two-meter-long big octopus, and once again made an extremely joyful whale cry.
"Huh? What's going on?" Xiang Yang was a little confused. The male whale's behavior was very inconsistent with the habits of humpback whales. Normal humpback whales like to swallow octopus and cuttlefish. As long as one of the male and female humpback whales catches an octopus or a cuttlefish, they will immediately swim to the other humpback whale, tear the prey into pieces and eat them together.
"Chiu—"
The sea eagle in the sky and sea looked in the direction of the male whale with its sharp eagle eyes, let out a low and hoarse cry, and continued to circle by flapping its wings.
With the guidance of the sea eagle, the male whale proudly swallowed the octopus in its mouth, and then slapped the sea surface with its pectoral fins.
After a while, the male whale spat out the big octopus again, let out a provocative whale cry to the sea eagle in the sky again, and then swallowed the big octopus into its mouth again.
"puff!"
This happened several times. Xiang Yang was amused by the male whale's behavior. It turned out that the male whale was deliberately provoking the sea eagle in this way!
It looked incredible, but after thinking about it, Xiang Yang felt that it was somewhat normal.
Humpback whales have the wisdom of a human child.
Think of it from a child's perspective: two humpback whales were chasing their favorite giant octopus for a long time and were about to catch it, but were intercepted by a Steller's sea eagle that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Wouldn't they be furious and screaming
Just when the child was screaming with anger, the Steller's sea eagle had an accident and was dragged to the bottom of the sea by a giant octopus. It was like a friend's candy was snatched away by another child. When the child whose candy was snatched away was angry, the child who snatched the candy fell down. The child whose candy was snatched away ran over and snatched the candy back. Then, wouldn't he have to quickly stuff the candy into his mouth and then show off to the nasty child who snatched the candy
The female whale carried Xiang Yang on her back and swam towards the male whale slowly, swinging her tail.
“Chiu!”
At this moment, the Steller's sea eagle in the sky let out a painful wail, flipped its body in mid-air, and fell headfirst into the ocean.
The male whale paused in his action of swallowing the octopus, as if he was confused about how the sea eagle fell from the sky.
The female whale tilted her head to look at the sea eagle struggling on the sea, then looked at the male whale, and then looked at the sea eagle again. In the female whale's memory, she had no recollection of the sea eagle having been hurt by the male whale, but the sea eagle just fell straight down from the sky. The female whale found it very strange. Could it be that the sea eagle was angered to death by the male whale
Xiang Yang touched the female whale's head and pointed in the direction where the sea eagle fell, signaling the female whale to swim over.
The female whale was obviously hesitant. It was hard for her brain to imagine that the sea eagle that dared to snatch food from her would be injured by a weak squid. The female whale thought that the food in her mouth had been snatched away by the sea eagle. Like the male whale who had had his food snatched away by the sea eagle before, she was so angry that she rolled around in the sea. She was afraid that after she swam past, the sea eagle would suddenly jump up and retaliate against Xiang Yang on her back.
The male whale seemed to understand something. He bit the octopus and swam slowly towards the struggling sea eagle that fell on the sea.
