When Xia Zuoyi fell from the Ride the Wind, no one had time to react.
The gang had brute strength and were obviously trained, so much so that when the assailant who had been stabbed by the tail ring needle cried out in excruciating pain, they were able to subdue the entire gang.
To be precise—the Pope, the grand duke, and the leader made great efforts in it, otherwise Samuel, the boatmen and others would be no match for this group of prepared villains.
Segalot wanted to return to Xia Zoe's side when someone rushed out, but was entangled by people, almost in a flash, and the accident happened unexpectedly.
The boatmen rushed to the side of the ship in panic.
They wanted to jump down to save Lord Lord, but when they saw the huge black shadow under the sea, they let out even more panicked screams.
"What, what is this?!"
Someone held the side of the boat softly with their legs, and their eyes were terrified.
People in this era have a natural fear of the vast ocean.
In addition, due to the limitations of various factors such as ship-making materials and ship-building technology... People's exploration and pursuit of the sea is extremely poor, not to mention the study of various creatures living in the sea.
Very few people go to sea.
The near sea is the degree of fishing, and no matter how far the sea is, there is no way to return except Duke Bill.
Of course, Samuel could barely count the half of the people who had gone out to the high seas, but when he was halfway through the voyage, he came back in a hurry, not even touching the whales in the far sea.
Little is known about the species that live in the ocean, probably the only name is "fish", all kinds of fish.
For example, the group of beluga whales that often migrate and wander around Hurghada are called "big white fish" by the people of Hurghada.
"Whales" are all huge in size, growing up to three meters and four meters. People who are familiar with whales will be shocked when they see them closely, and even feel awe and timidity towards underwater creatures.
What's more, these boatmen who have never seen giant whales.
For a while, they were stunned by the huge shadows constantly floating up under the sea, and their calves and stomachs were trembling in fear, and they didn't fall to the ground while holding on to the side of the boat.
"Help, help..."
I don't know if this weak cry was calling for someone to save the little lord who fell into the sea, or they were frightened by the huge black shadow.
At this time, Segalot, Orville, and Archibald, who had already dealt with all the enemies, rushed to the side of the ship like a gust of wind.
Their faces were very similar, dark and ugly, and their movements were neatly supporting the side of the boat and they wanted to jump off to save people.
But immediately, the eyes of the three of Segalot opened wide involuntarily, and a stunned expression appeared on their faces.
The big thing under the sea finally floated up—the tall dorsal fin was erect, the round black and white body, about ten meters long, looked quite spectacular and shocking.
And Xia Zuoyi was lying on the back of the "big fish", soaked all over and in good condition.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the dripping water droplets all over his face, his caramel-colored eyes were lined with water, and he raised his head and waved at Segalot and the others.
- "I'm fine, don't worry."
The big black and white fish led him around in circles and then remained silent.
Samuel and the boatmen looked dumbfounded.
Segalot's golden eyes were almost as deep as the color of molten glaze. He put one hand on the side of the ship and looked down at Xia Zoey closely.
"Good, what a big fish..." Someone couldn't help muttering to himself.
This big black and white fish looks round and can almost be called "cute". Its head is conical, without a protruding beak, and it grins slightly, as if smiling.
But the sharp teeth in the mouth are telling its danger.
The upright height of the dorsal fin of the big black and white fish is about two meters, and there is an obvious white oval spot on the position diagonally behind the round eyes.
This is the killer whale—intelligent, emotional, and full of recipes.
For example, pelagic killer whales tend to eat sharks.
Killer whales have almost no natural enemies in the sea. Although they look cute, they are well-deserved "ocean overlords".
[Host, how are you? ] 098 asked worriedly in the system interface.
Xia Zuoyi replied in his heart, "I'm fine, thanks to you coming back just in time."
When he was on the boat, Xia Zuoyi could only dodge the dagger that was swept horizontally by stepping back, but behind him was the side of the boat, and there was no way to retreat, otherwise he had to jump into the sea to escape the damage.
098 just came back at this critical moment, waving a small hand of a match in the system interface to let him jump into the sea - he will be saved.
Xia Zuoyi did not hesitate and chose to believe.
And he never imagined that the gift that 098 brought him this time turned out to be a cute and huge killer whale.
Under Xia Zoe's palm is the cool sea water and the smooth skin with a novel touch - the killer whale obediently floated on the sea without moving.
But the large and broad pectoral fins swing from time to time, showing its lively and active character.
Xia Zuoyi looked at the dorsal fin of the killer whale—it was erect, it was a male, and the length of the body should have been more than ten meters, it was an adult state.
Killer whales are highly social animals, and they also form families in groups. Killer whales living in groups have no natural enemies, but orcas alone may be attacked by other groups of toothed whales.
When Xia Zuoyi waited for the rope to be lowered from the boat for rescue, he couldn't help asking the details of the killer whale in his heart.
Road 098: [This is a small killer whale that was artificially bred in the interstellar space.]
[It has just come of age, there is no ethnic group at present, its ability to survive on the seabed is very strong, and its lifespan is very long.]
[Artificial breeding gave the baby killer whale the ability to navigate naturally. A chip was implanted in its body, and now it is connected to the system. The green dot on the ocean map is it.]
Xia Zuoyi looked at the system and did find a green spot in the ocean. He was a little puzzled: "How come there are no groups of adult killer whales?"
098 sighed with a small hand with a match: [This is a sad thing.]
[In the interstellar era, all kinds of animals are almost extinct, and the killer whale has disappeared. This one was cultivated with great difficulty... But there will always be people who come to snatch the precious things.]
[The host who raised the baby killer whale didn't want it to become a scrambled prey, and would rather it never appeared... So I asked 098 to bring it back.]
[The chip in the little killer whale can protect it from harm. After the little killer whale dies naturally, the chip will be automatically destroyed and dissolved in the sea to disappear.]
"Host? Which system world did you travel to this time?"
098 held his face, and the small mouth of a line bent: [It is a scientific system.]
Xia Zuoyi: Oh well.
Segalote himself came down.
At this time, he had already fallen to the distance of one foot from the sea with the help of the rope, and the huge body of the killer whale was close at hand. He reached out to Xia Zuoyi who was lying on it: "Come here and hold me."
Xia Zuoyi came back to his senses and stopped chatting with 098. He slightly propped up his body and crawled over. After grabbing Segalote's outstretched hand, he was hugged by him, and the rope began to pull upwards.
Only then did the killer whale swing its powerful caudal fin and turn to face Chengfeng: "Hey."
Xia Zuoyi was almost reluctant to leave.
But he said to 098 in his heart: "This killer whale can't accompany me all the time, and it must find a group to integrate into."
"It is free, and the sea is its destination."
098: [Host, the chip in the little killer whale gives it the ability to communicate with you.]
[The chip has been successfully connected to the system, just like the host can speak directly to 098 in his heart, as long as the host concentrates on conveying meaning to the little killer whale, it can also receive and understand.]
[Even if it is thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away.]
Zoe Xia was surprised at such a high-tech thing.
He lowered his head to look at the surface of the sea—the big cutie dived and resurfaced, circling back and forth around the hull, his big head sticking out of the sea from time to time, looking up at the sky forty-five degrees.
Those round little black eyes are really hard to see against the black smooth skin.
Xia Zuoyi paid attention for a long time, only to realize that the big cute was also looking at him, his eyes were full of joy and excitement.
098 was still wiping the corners of his eyes with a small handkerchief in the system interface and said: [Poor child, he has been living in a nutrient solution that simulates marine ecology since he was born. He has no relatives and no friends. The host father who gave birth to the baby killer whale finally wanted to let him I have to endure the pain to send it away...]
[The system is connected to the chip, and the little killer whale can also feel it. In its view, the host is now the stepfather.]
Xia Zoe had just been carried to the deck by Orville, and her feet hadn't stepped on firmly yet. Hearing that, she stumbled and almost fell, and was supported by the arm of Archibald who had been watching.
He replied in his heart: "...stepfather, me?!"
[That's right. ] 098 nodded affirmatively.
Immediately added: [If the host wants the little killer whale to find a group to settle down, he only needs to concentrate on conveying his meaning to it.]
Just then, the killer whale jumped up from the sea.
Amidst the wide-eyed exclamations of the crowd, they performed a flip in the air, and the huge water splashes generated when they fell fell on the ship, splashing tiny crystal water droplets one by one.
"Huh."
The killer whale probes from the surface again.
Xia Zuoyi was stunned for a moment, and he could clearly feel a proud and happy emotion conveyed to him along the system.
This is so cute...
Xia Zuoyi tried it according to the method taught by 098 - give you a name, let's call it Tangyuan
The killer whale made that unique and lovely call again, and started to circle in the sea with its powerful tail fins. Sometimes it swam far away and then swam back quickly.
Such a scene is very rare for Samuel and the boatmen.
After confirming that the Lord Lord was safe, they began to gather on the side of the ship and stared intently at the killer whale with their mouths open in a very silly manner.
Xia Zoe thought - if the nobles had not learned etiquette since childhood, and the grand duke had developed his usual calm and indifferent face, it is estimated that Orville's expression at this time would not be much less impressive.
His Holiness the Pope and Archibald also didn't look away.
Xia Zuoyi turned his eyes to the sea again, and concentrated on conveying his meaning to the killer whale who already had a name - to find a group that would accept you.
Tangyuan, don't live alone in the sea anymore, as long as you miss me, I will come to see you from time to time.
"Huh."
Tang Yuan was obviously reluctant to leave, stubbornly not wanting to leave.
Xia Zuoyi conveyed it several times, with a firm attitude.
After all, it is impossible for the dumplings to follow him all the time, it should have its own kind.
Xia Zuoyi repeatedly assured that as long as it sent a signal, he would appear, and the dumplings turned around and left with their tail fins, and soon disappeared without a trace on the sea.
This sea trial was undoubtedly a success.
But it is also really thrilling and exciting, especially the fact that the big black and white fish rescued the Lord of Desinia began to spread widely from Weissus to the entire territory.
Invisibly, Xia Zuoyi's prestige became a little heavier.
