Chapter 38: Fierce Fight In Sea

The Golden Eagle fell on Su Jing’s shoulders and he stabbed Golden Eagle in the thigh and dripped a drop of blood on Ten Thousand Beasts Tablet.

In the past, Su Jing could only use his words and his hands to compare with the golden eagle in order to get some fragmentary information, but now he can communicate directly with Blood Drop Sacrificial Refining without much trouble.

“Little Jin, where’s the man-eating vine?” Su Jing asked.

“He broke free of the rope and attacked Cats and Dogs. I stopped him, we fought and it fled to the sea.” Golden Eagle opened his mouth and shouted.

“Did you protect Cats and Dogs? Good. Su Jing praised him, only to discover that golden eagle had several wounds, some mucus, and some hairs were missing, presumably caused by the battle with the man-eating vine.

“Unexpectedly man-eating vine can also dive, how can we catch it?” Su Jing walks to the water and looks into the sea. It’s clear that the sea area is five meters deep. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he can’t see the man-eating vine. In fact, there are many plants that can survive in the sea. If this man-eating vine can really survive in the sea, it may have dived far away.

“I don’t know if the man-eating vine has a sense of smell. Can Magical Beast meat attract it?” Su Jing’s heart suddenly moved. Before the man-eating vine had not grown up, he estimated that it could not leave the soil, otherwise, it would have created chaos everywhere, so it was impossible to determine whether the man-eating vine was attracted by Magical Beast meat.

“Let’s just try and see.” Su Jing enters the house and cuts a piece of Magical Beast meat. First, he divides it into small pieces for Golden Eagle to eat. As a reward for protecting Cats and Dogs and also for curing his wounds. The rest is packed in a bamboo basket, taken to the beach and put into the water.

As usual, many fish gathered one after another, and Su Jing prepared a bucket to catch some of the more precious species, this went on for about 20 minutes and the basket was surrounded by a variety of miscellaneous fish.

Suddenly, the fishes were squeezed by a black shadow by several squid-like vines. Su Jing was overjoyed and motionless, he also calmed the golden eagle down and told him not to move. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for the man-eating vine to escape to the bottom of the sea again.

Su Jing was ready to start when he saw man-eating vine getting closer and closer, only two meters away, but then he suddenly caught a glimpse of several dark shadows in the distance underwater, followed by a few black dorsal fins coming out of the sea and approaching this side quickly.

“What the hell.” Su Jing’s face changed dramatically and he quickly lifted the basket and retreated.

However, when he moved, the man-eating vine was reluctant. A vine sprang out quickly and wrapped up the bamboo basket. Su Jing pulled hard and pulled half of the man-eating vine out of the sea. However, man-eating vine still seemed to be entangled with something on the bottom of the sea, so he couldn’t pull it up.

Su Jing simply gave up the bamboo poles and retreated three steps. The man-eating vine rolled the bamboo basket underneath it. However, the next moment, three behemoths surrounded it and the sea was churning.

Vaguely visible, these three giants were more than three meters long and had a slightly round head, slender mouth, sharp teeth, the back of the body is painted black, there is a saddle-shaped gray-white spot behind the fins, two eyes behind each shuttle-shaped white spot, most of the ventral snow-white color.

Su Jing recognizes that this is a killer whale, also known as Orca, they are ferocious, carnivores and are good at attacking their prey, they are a natural enemy of animals such as penguins and seals. They are one of the apex predators of the sea and have no natural enemies. Sometimes they attack other cetaceans, even great white sharks, which can be called maritime overlords. The three-meter-long killer whale is just a minor, the real adult killer whale is 8-10 meters long. Fortunately, the shore water is only two or three meters and the adult killer whale can’t really come to the shore.

“This man-eating vine will definitely suffer.” In the rolling sea, Su Jing noticed that the bamboo basket was broken, floating on the sea and the Magical Beast meat inside was gone. Su Jing estimated that it had been eaten by the killer whale. Su Jing sighed as the man-eating vine was most likely dead. He did not wanted to kill it if he could help it but this is also good.

The next moment, however, Su Jing was shocked to see a killer whale suddenly leaping out of the sea, and man-eating vine was just like octopus entangled in it. After killer whale fell into the water, it kept rolling and jumping, trying to get rid of the man-eating vine. Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tried, the man-eating vine was still entangled it to death.

Two other killer whales swam to help. Killer whale liked  to live a group life. If one of the members of the group was injured or lost consciousness in an accident, the other members would come to help. It’s a pity that two killer whales are still useless. Despite their great strength, killer whale suffers losses because it has no hands and feet and can’t pick man-eating vine apart.

Su Jing also noticed that several vines of the man-eating vine actually protruded from the spray hole of the killer whale and seemed to have penetrated into the lungs of the killer whale, while the killer whale was in an extremely painful situation and it tumbled even more. Even the blood overflowed from its mouth.

“Come on, this man-eating vine is so powerful!” Su Jing was stunned as he did not expect such a result.

The killer whale, in great pain, has lost its cubic inch completely as it tumbled to the shore and jumped out of the sea and landed on the reef, stuck between the two reefs, and man-eating vine was also pressed down and could not escape. The other two killer whales, near the shore, screamed anxiously and refused to leave.

“I have to save this killer whale, or it will die.” Su Jing walked over, but as soon as it approached, the killer whale stuck between the reefs opened its mouth to Su Jing and attacks him in a vicious manner.

“Big guy, calm down.” Su Jing approached and took out the Ten Thousand Beasts Tablet and dipped it into the blood from the mouth of the killer whale into the sea. In the next moment Su Jing heard the tender voice of killer whale, “Don’t Come over or I will kill you.”

“Don’t bite me, I am here to help you, you are hurt, If I don’t help you, you will die on the shore.” Su Jing said.

Really? Do you really want to help me? The Killer whale tilted his head and seemed to think about it. Killer whales are one of the most intelligent animals in the sea. They know how to hunt in groups, communicate with each other and plan tactics by using supersonic waves emitted from the rump (dolphin family uses to make echolocation, which concentrates sound in a bunch). They also work together to concentrate the fish into a big ball and then take turns drilling in for food.

Because killer whales have such outstanding intelligence, they are also domesticated by people to complete some special tasks, such as the US Navy Hawaii Submarine Operational Center, which spends millions of USD every year to train an animal force, killer whale is one of the main members of which can do deep diving, navigation, demining and other work. People also train killer whale to salvage seabed relics, play killer whale sounds to scare off harmful animals in the sea or use it as a police dog in the sea, and guard and manage farmed fish.

Therefore, killer whale knows how to think.

Su Jing said sincerely, “Of course, it’s true. I can help you get rid of the vines that are wrapped around you. I can also help you heal your wounds and push you back into the sea so that you can continue to live freely in the sea.”
