Although he couldn’t translate what the sound wave was specifically expressing, Ji Mingjiang still felt the emotions of anger and pain contained in it.

After hesitating for a moment, he swung his tail and swam towards the direction of the sound wave.

Whether to help or not is still another story; he mainly wants to observe how real fish fight and also to see what the general level of combat power here is.

Ji Mingjiang has been swimming for some unknown amount of time; he was almost tired from flicking his tail before he finally saw the battle scene.

It’s a baby humpback whale and a, um… something that looks like a mutated giant squid.

Although a creature like the squid is in the humpback whale’s diet, when the size difference between the two is too great, it is impossible to say who is hunting whom.

But don’t humpback whales usually live in groups? How could a calf appear by itself?

Ji Mingjiang was a little puzzled, but after weighing the pros and cons as the squid flung its suction-cupped tentacles onto the back of the humpback whale once again, he swam out from behind the coral reef.

Guessing that there was a high probability that he could not understand the language of these species, Ji Mingjiang didn’t talk nonsense and quickly swung his tail, which he had mastered, to bring him to the humpback whale.

A creature like a squid looks even scarier upon close inspection.

The dark red tentacles tightly wrap the body of the humpback whale. If you look closely, you can see the dense suction cups under the tentacles when it moves occasionally.

No wonder it’s a permanent character in Greek mythology…

Ji Mingjiang’s scalp felt a little numb.

Maybe it’s because he’s too small. The big squid doesn’t seem to care much about this unexpected visitor.

Ji Mingjiang patted the humpback whale that was howling and carefully stretched out his hand to try to tear off the tentacle that looked chewy—no, he meant powerful.

To his surprise, it didn’t take him much effort. He simply pinched the tentacle with two fingers and lifted it upwards. The tentacle curled up like a mouse seeing a cat, and quickly left the body of the whale.

“Boing.”

Escaping from the terrifying tentacle monster, the humpback whale quickly hid itself behind Jimingjiang’s slender body, humming and complaining like a child who had found a backer.

The giant squid then slowly turned its eyes to where he was and looked like it had seen something incredible.

Ji Mingjiang sharply saw that it had actually taken a few steps back, but for some reason, it suddenly changed its mind and whipped a tentacle over.

It can’t be that even squid fighting is now about tactics, right?

“Ah! Be careful!” The humpback whale, which had just experienced the horror of the tentacle, cried out in horror.

Even it could tell that the tentacle that swung over this time was not at the same level as the one that entangled it before.

If the previous tentacle tightened its restraint slowly and leisurely, step by step, then the water flow brought up by this tentacle could even scratch its skin!

Ji Mingjiang didn’t take it seriously because he was able to easily rip away the squid’s tentacles, so he knew that this thing could not do much damage to him.

But it’s perfect for experimenting. After all, he can’t bully an immature whale.



After unknowingly tearing off a few squid tentacles, Ji Mingjiang finally mastered his own strength and successfully tied the remaining tentacles together in a knot.

The squid kicked against this obstacle called Ji Mingjiang, trying to escape countless times, until the ink sac was all sprayed out, but it was still pulled back by the tentacles like a kite string.

Looking at the existence that finally turned into a squid ball and the surrounding sea area that was sprayed even darker, Ji Mingjiang flicked his tail in disgust and threw this horrible thing away.

After resolving the emergency, he turned his head and realized that the little humpback whale hadn’t left. It even nudged him affectionately after he threw away the squid.

“You are so powerful!” “You are so strong, even the killer whale can’t beat you!” “Why are you here alone? I have never seen a fish like you before. Are you also separated from your group?”

She has been with her parents since birth, and the surrounding sea area will be surrounded by her pod when hunting. This is the first time Lynn has faced the crisis of survival, which makes her especially fond of this beautiful and fierce fish after the crisis is resolved!

It’s just that this fish was a little too silent towards her.

“Why don’t you say anything? Is it because you miss your pod? I can take you to my pod; they know a lot! Maybe they can help you reunite with your companions!”

Ji Mingjiang remained silent.

Why? Because he couldn’t understand what the humpback whale was saying. The little humpback whale’s rambling words reached his ears as a bunch of meaningless and garbled tones.

But he can still perceive the positive emotions of liking and intimacy in the words, although he also does not know what mermaid-exclusive buffs this is again.

Because of this, when he noticed that the head of the humpback whale was pressing against his back and pushing forward, Ji Mingjiang did not resist but swung his tail along with its strength and swam forward.

After pushing forward for a while, Lynn looked at the size difference between Ji Mingjiang and her and realized with enlightenment that she could obviously let this life-saving fish who had just finished a fight sit on her back and rest!

The little humpback whale acted without delay and quickly adjusted her position. She ran from behind Ji Mingjiang to under his body, and then slowly lifted up the extremely beautiful tail, in her opinion.

“Just sit on me, my pod will find me soon.” Thinking of the parents and friends she was about to meet, she flicked her tail excitedly.

Ji Mingjiang was a little surprised when he noticed what was under him. He didn’t react when he found that the calf just wanted to swim with him, but his expression became a little strange.

Although he knows that the world is changed now and those common senses from his previous life should be put aside, it’s still weird to let a 28-year-old man sit on a child’s back…

He didn’t know how this baby whale got separated from the pod or how far away it was.

Ji Mingjiang roughly estimated the time and distance he and the little humpback whale traveled.

They should’ve traveled for approximately half an hour, but he remembers that the swimming speed of the humpback whale is about ten kilometers per hour. Even if the speed is slower because this is a calf, they must have swum for about five kilometers now.

Did they go in the wrong direction?

You can’t blame Ji Mingjiang for having this kind of doubt. It’s because this humpback whale has been acting too silly since he first saw it until now.

After all, he can perceive the emotional tendency of creatures towards him, coupled with the body language that is too easy to understand. Ji Mingjiang even felt that if he could understand the language of humpback whales, those grunting tone words translated would probably be the words this young whale complimented him with.

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.

Glancing at the humpback whale, who was still in high spirits, Ji Mingjiang didn’t raise any objections when he thought that their race might have some contact information that he didn’t know about and instead focused on observing the surrounding scenery.

Along the way, they encountered many groups of small fish, and occasionally a large turtle swam past them as if flying with its front legs.

He saw a lot of corals and coral reefs of various colors along the way. To be precise, there were quite a few people who gave him various expensive coral bonsais in order to please him on his birthday or various festivals in his previous life.

He didn’t like those bonsai too much before, but now it seems that those corals in various delicate containers are less ethereal and lifelike than what he sees now.

Corals drifting in the water, small fish that occasionally swim by shining like the moon on the bottom of the sea, a bloody hunting action that took place at a random corner…

Catching the trace of blood that floated along the water, Ji Mingjiang, who was leisurely devoting himself to the surrounding scenery, finally realized belatedly that he had broken into a brand new, beautiful, and barbaric world, where the order of the world was completely at odds with the rules he had followed before and where “the law of the jungle” is best demonstrated.

Ji Mingjiang overturned the previous idea that the system let him stay here for half a month in order to familiarize him with his body, or rather, on top of that, he vaguely felt that the system wanted him to know more than that.

Forget it; it’s useless to think about this now; just focus on the immediate. There’s still time to ask about other things when the system returns.

This is a body full of bugs and buffs given by the system. If he becomes the existence of “I am a fish” in the official launch world, the interstellar world, he can overturn the chessboard and bombard those who rejected existence with mecha or starship.

Even if Ji Mingjiang didn’t admit it, the mission goal of “becoming the hegemon of the world” had been in his mind for many years and eventually evolved him into his current self.

The happy little humpback whale will not know the secondary diseases and worries of adults. She could only perceive the call and concern of her pod.

“I’m fine! Although I met a very big and scary squid, there was a very beautiful fish that beat that squid away!”

Lynn cheerfully responded to the concerned cries of her group, directing them to her location while praising her newfound friend.

Ji Mingjiang’s attention was drawn back by her sudden cry, and after sensing the excited and cheerful emotions carried in the call, he slightly sat up straight to look ahead, finally meeting this silly and sweet pod?

After the humpback whale pod received the calf’s call, they responded with a hmm. While speeding over, they didn’t forget to voice their gratitude. Thank you for saving our calf. I don’t know what you like to eat. If you’re good at fighting, you must’ve eaten a lot right? We will send out humpback whales to hunt again later.

The whole group swam to the location of the little humpback whale with a grateful heart.

Then they saw a mermaid sitting on Lynn’s back, flicking its tail leisurely.

A mermaid that obviously hasn’t appeared in forty or fifty years.

In the eyes of Ji Mingjiang and Lynn, the tail is elegant, powerful, and gives off a sense of security, but in the eyes of those old humpback whales who have lived for many years, it is a sharp weapon that can slap them to death with one tail.



The entire group fell silent, then the already very old patriarch slowly swam to the front under the escort of several whales, meticulously observing Ji Mingjiang from his hair all the way to his sharp nails and occasionally silvery tail, and finally looking at the young humpback whale who was still giggling.

Does this damn child know what kind of killing machine she has brought back! !
