Due to the weather, Yao Yun felt that it wasn't a good idea for the big guy to waste time like this on the deck. Before he could even be attacked by the white sperm whale, he had already exhausted all his stamina. He gestured to everyone to wait inside the cabin. Since it had already reached this point, they could only leave it to fate. If the whale really didn't want to let go of this ship, they could only fight it.
When Wei Wuji saw that Yao Ling had brought out the Dragon Bow and some underwater items, he quickly asked: "Third Brother, you plan to go into the water? "Are you crazy? The wounds on your body haven't even healed, if you go in the water, you're just sending yourself to your death!"
Yao Ling held the cigarette in her mouth and nonchalantly said to him, "What else? Who else on this ship could have lived in the water for more than me? If we really get sunk by it, none of us will be able to survive! It's better to die than to just kill a bunch of people. You don't need to talk any more nonsense. With the Dragon Catching Crossbow, I can at least guarantee that I'll pull this whale down with me. Besides, I've always been lucky. The ancestor protected me, so I might be able to escape unscathed. "This business is good, but it's worth it!"
Ashley tried to dissuade Yao from going into the water: "Maybe this whale already knows the difficulties and retreated. I heard that most animals like the whale don't have any hostility towards humans and won't take the initiative to attack them, and they even show friendly behavior at times. Although there are sometimes accidents, those accidents are only because of the whale's curiosity, or because it wanted to do something out of the ordinary with the human game. It is hard to imagine that there would be a whale guarding this area of the sea for dozens of years, waiting for this opportunity to attack the ship and humans.
"There are exceptions to everything," said Yao Ling as he adjusted the crossbow. "Animals are the same as humans. Individual differences are great, and it is inevitable that there will be a special example. Ever since humans began to hunt whales on a large scale, sperm whales had always been the first target of whaling ships. The whale oil and ambergris in its body could all be sold for a good price, so sperm whales were also one of the species that dealt with humans the most. According to the records and legends, the ones that attacked the most human ships were the sperm whales. Although these whales didn't eat humans, when they were forced into a desperate situation, they would inevitably attack the fishing boats to fight to the death. Perhaps this kind of behavior had already slowly become a habit among some individuals. Scented Whale originally had a character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Coupled with the fact that it was an albino lone whale, it was normal for it to have a violent temperament. We are in a very bad situation and we have to be prepared for the worst. "
"This is the revenge of nature, so we will organize ourselves to protect the animals and the nature. Sooner or later, mankind's greed will bring us a great disaster, and the people who seek revenge might be animals, or the natural environment, or the humans themselves." Ashley's words weren't meant for Yao Ling to hear, she was just talking to herself. She thought of her own father and thought of the fate that she could not avoid.
Yao Ling obviously didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. He retorted, "Put away what you just learned from a foreigner! The Chinese believe that the sky is asexual, and that nature has never been a generous giver! Every resource that mankind has developed to this day has been exchanged with blood, sweat, and tears. We do not need to be grateful. One should only be grateful to those ancestors and kindred spirits who paid a high price for promoting human development! If you think that today's whale is the revenge of nature against us, then please remember, if you are lucky enough to escape, then the one you have to thank is not nature for letting you go, but for being saved by a hunter whom you small and fresh despised, and who I am! "
The atmosphere in the cabin was extremely awkward, Commander Lei advised the two of them, "At this time, you guys are still f * cking thinking about bullshitting these bastards! "Let's see if there's any way to get rid of this dead fish before we start arguing again!"
At this time, Xu Er suddenly smacked his head and asked Yao Ling, "Third Brother, you said that there are so many sharks following us in the water. Do we have any way to make them fight on their own? If these sharks can fight a sperm whale, it won't care about us! I heard sharks are bloodthirsty. Can you make them go crazy? "
Yao Ling thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't do. Although sharks are ferocious, they are no match for large whales." Sharks were considered to be soft-bone fish. Although this gave them great mobility, it also caused their bodies to be relatively fragile. Not to mention that even dolphins like them, who were good at collision tactics, could pose a great threat to sharks. Other than that, the so-called shark bloodlust is very one-sided. It also depends on the blood and species of sharks. Not all sharks become excited and aggressive when they meet any blood. "
Although the idea of two taels of silver had been rejected by Yao Yun, he had unintentionally reminded Wei Wuji of something. An idea came to his mind as he said to Yao Yun: "Third Brother, do you think the blue whale carcass that we saw two days ago was caused by a herd of halberd whales?"
"I think it must be. Besides the whale, I really can't think of anything else that could kill an adult Blue Whale. Fourth Bro, what do you want?"
"Mm, I'm thinking that although a sperm whale is the largest toothed whale, they will often be harassed or even hunted down by a halberd whale." Mm, I'm thinking that although a sperm whale is the largest toothed whale, they will often be harassed or even hunted by a halberd whale.
Ashley felt that this method was the same as not saying anything. "The reason is the truth, but after all, this is the sea. Unless we are extremely lucky, how could we coincidentally encounter a group of harpoon whales at this time?"
Wei Wuji laughed: "How is that impossible? In chapter 25 of the "Thousand-hand Taroni" at Dushi Temple, Qian Da Nai recorded the oratory skill of imitating the cries of all kinds of flying beasts and animals. Since ancient times, hunters knew how to imitate the sounds of animals and attract their prey. Since those halberd whales have killed a Blue Whale, they should be a group that likes to kill sea beasts. I can mimic the cries of seal sea lions and lure them over here. "
We don't know whether it retreated due to the difficulty, or whether it lurked in the water and was waiting for an opportunity to find us. Although the whale's recipe is mainly about the octopus and squid, but it also eats other fish and sea beasts, if it doesn't attract the whale, then it will only provoke the white devil and that would be the end of it. Should I wait? "If this sperm whale still doesn't give up its evil intentions, then we'll just follow Fourth Bro's plan and give it a try."
As the weather got worse, it turned out that the white sperm whale was really determined to kill them. It took advantage of the waves and struck the bottom of the Indra several times from under the water.
Wei Wuji decisively used the loudspeakers on the boat to constantly emit sound like a seal. Just in case, Yao Ling had already made preparations to enter the sea. If the winds and waves on the sea became a little stronger, the White Demon might very well overturn the Indra.
The captain who had been silent all this time suddenly stood up. He had already changed from his usual honest and easygoing look to a gloomy and murderous one by one sweeping his eyes across the faces of his sailors. Outsiders didn't know what he was going to do, but the sailors had followed him out to sea for a long time, so they naturally understood his intentions.
Finally, his gaze fell on one of his deputies. He said something to the young man called Samet, and the other sailors, as if they had been pardoned, put on a fierce expression and tied up Samet's rope without any explanation.
Yao Yun didn't understand why they were like this. She even thought Jeb suspected Samitt of being a spy, but he hurriedly said to Chen Chensheng, "You tell him that these things are all the work of that monkey. Call him."
Chen Changsheng, however, told Yao Yun, "You guessed wrong. He doesn't suspect this person, but wants to use him as a sacrifice to the sea. You have to understand that there are many gods in India whose functions are often overlapping. Water and Sea Gods have several, and the Sea Gods that these sailors worship are the Naga King. "The Guardian Naga needs blood sacrifices, which is to throw living people into the sea in the guise of Garuda birds. Whenever a ship encounters a disaster at sea, it will helplessly make blood sacrifices in order to quell the Sea God's anger."
"Do they do this because Naga has a feud with Carroll?"
Wuji quickly called for Chen Sha to stop them: "If that's the case, then we don't need to hurt this sailor. Maybe I can find a way to replace him in the sacrifice!"
Chen Chou Sheng thought that he could not bear to see the sailors being killed and wanted to stop the priest, so he told him, "Fourth Bro, if it was a normal situation, then anything could be discussed, but you also know, this ship has many strange ship owners rules, and this is something that cannot be broken. Listen to my words, old brother, this matter is up to them, in any case, the ones who died are their own people, it has nothing to do with us."
Wei Wuji didn't have time to explain anything to him. He ran down the stairs while shouting at Chen Changsheng to stop them.
Very soon, Wei Wuji returned with what he wanted. He took out something from a small backpack and gave it to the captain; it was the claw and beak of the Garuda Bird that Yao Ling had killed. Wei Wuji felt it was a pity to throw it away, but he did not have the conditions to keep the body of the Garuda Bird for a long time, so he cut off the claw and beak.
