  The three minke whales and the newly appeared giant whale were all set for a showdown––especially the male minke whale, who was trying to protect the other two minke whales. It was provoking the giant whale to try to chase it away; however, the differences in their physique was too large, so it was a futile effort. In fact, it was an effort that could even bring about its own death.

  The only advantage the minke whale had was that it was agile, but they were so close to the shore and the water was so shallow that its agility was quite restricted. The huge size of the giant whale practically blocked any escape routes.

  Under normal circumstances, a giant whale with that kind of physique was unlikely to risk coming into such shallow waters. If it was not able to have a proper grasp of when the tide rose and when it ebbed, then there was the possibility that it could be stranded at any time.

  The giant whale opened its large mouth—the mouth that could probably swallow a whole truck––and as it swam, it swallowed the small fish and prawns nearby like a black hole. It didn’t even view the male whale’s provocation as a threat. When the male whale moved slightly closer, it just casually swept its tail, and the currents produced made the male whale’s advance tougher.

  The male whale could not even match the speed of the giant whale even though the giant whale had yet to show its full speed. What seemed like a brave charge ended up with the male whale only being able to follow behind the other and eat its tail current.

  The number of living organisms in that part of the sea had increased from in the past. In the past, the part of the city near the ocean was entirely deserted––all the fish had been caught by humans. It was only when Sihwa came to Binhai City that life started to reappear.

  For a giant whale with that kind of physique, most of their day was spent eating, otherwise it would not be able to sustain itself. And it was exactly because of that fact that the giant whale could not appear too often near Binhai City. There simply was not enough food for them to eat.

  Zhang Zian was scared that the minke whale and the giant whale would really start to fight, and he was anxiously looking at the speaker that was underwater, hoping that Sihwa’s singing would quickly take effect.

  However, the main meaning of Sihwa’s song was that a human would not hurt you, and that they wanted to help you. That meant that he had to let the giant whale know of his existence before it could understand the meaning behind the sentence.

  Yes, that was right. Although Zhang Zian had been observing from the side for a while, he was not sure if the giant whale had noticed his presence because his small boat was really too small. It was roughly like a small pebble in a human’s eyes. Who would go and notice the pebbles beneath their feet when they walked? Furthermore, whales had bad eyesight, so it was even more likely that the whale did not notice him.

  Therefore, he analyzed the direction that the giant whale was swimming in, and in his heart, he started to compare the swimming speed of the giant whale and the speed of the assault boat. He calculated a suitable distance to move forward, and started the motor to stop it in its path.

  Of course, that was the ideal situation, and the prerequisite was that the giant whale would not suddenly change its direction. Otherwise, his work would be of no use, and he would have to recalculate the path he should take.

  Just from that alone, he was much better than the male whale that only knew how to follow behind it. Humans were really the wisest of all creatures.

  The good thing was that the giant whale was quite cooperative––or perhaps it was better to say that it was persistent in its own ways, and it did not feel the need to change its swimming path. So, Zhang Zian’s plan of putting the assault boat right in the path of the whale worked.

  The giant whale cut through the waves to continue moving forward, and its size seemed to grow larger and larger. The sense of oppression was increasing by the minute. His instincts told him that his actions were like an ant trying to shake a tree, and he was practically seeking death; it was akin to lying on the rails to stop a train… He had the thought to take a handsome selfie with his face in the same frame as the giant whale; however, he did not have the leisurely mood or the bravery to take a selfie. He was so nervous that his mouth and throat were both very dry, and his heart was about to explode!

  When he was moving to stop the giant whale, the speaker kept playing Sihwa’s song, but that giant whale had no reaction at all. It was still rushing straight at him.

  Zhang Zian was not doubting Sihwa’s song because he had already tested it with the male whale; he was suspecting that the speaker was broken––after all, it was cheap one that he had bought on Taobao. There was really no way to confirm, however, because Sihwa’s singing voice was beyond the hearing capabilities of the human ear.

  Or could it be that it still had not noticed that there was a small inflatable cartridge case in front of it?

  Are you kidding me? What bad luck!

  As the giant whale came closer and closer, it looked as though the voice still had no effect. He made the prompt decision that he could not stay any longer, so he abruptly turned the boat 90 degrees. He switched the motor to its maximum power and headed to the side with full force!

  It was too late! He knew in his heart that it was too late.

  Although he felt very flustered, his basic judgement was not yet lost yet. He deduced by looking at it that the assault boat was likely to just miss the head of the giant whale. It would not be totally smashed into smithereens, but he would not be able to escape the currents formed from the whale swimming past him.

  The most optimistic estimate would be that his boat would capsize. The most pessimistic estimate would be that before his boat capsized, he would be swept at by the whale’s pectoral fins.

  In such an emergency, he could not care about that anymore. There was no one in the surrounding area, and even if there was someone looking, it did not matter.

  He steadied the motor handle with one hand, and used the other hand to raise his phone, opening the game. He adeptly entered the game capture interface, directed it at the giant whale, and pressed on the “Capture” button!

  Click!

  [Game Hints]: Capture failed! Target is not suitable to be a pet!

  From the first time he played the game, the newbie guide had hinted that only common pets could be captured, like cats, dogs, birds, etcetera––spiders, cockroaches, and things of that sort were not considered pets.

  There were indeed people who kept spiders and cockroaches as pets, but then again, there were also people who kept other people as pets…


  Looking at it now, whales seemed to be not on the list of capturable targets.

  It was said that, in the whole world, only Bill Gates had built a private aquarium in his house, and he kept a whale shark in it. That kind of extreme example did not have much meaning, and it was only a rumor. It was likely that it was false, because Bill Gates definitely knew that no matter how big a fish tank it was, it was still unsuitable to keep a whale.

  Yet Zhang Zian could only quietly say, “Are you kidding me?”


  He was already at his wit’s end. No matter how hard he thought, he could not think of any other plan, so he could only close his eyes and resign himself to his fate.

  Just at that critical moment, he suddenly felt that the assault boat was violently shaken, as if the bottom of the boat had hit a reef. He had not been expecting anything like that, so he lost his balance. His hand let go of the motor handle and he heavily crashed into the bottom of the boat. Thankfully, the bottom of the boat was made of rubber as well, and he was not hurt.

  What happened? Did he get hit by the giant whale? It should not have felt like that…


  When he let go of the motor, the motor automatically switched off, and the propeller stopped turning. The assault boat was inclined at a strange position, as if it had entirely left the water’s surface.

  Could it be that I was hit by the giant whale and flew up?

  Zhang Zian clung to the side of the boat and looked down.Below the ship was a greyish-black colored back.

  It turned out that the assault boat was being carried on the whale’s back. It was half on the humpback and half on the head, and was being quickly carried to escape the danger zone. The speed much faster than the weak motor.

  Almost exactly when he left the danger zone, the giant whale brushed past the boat, and the rolling waves were like an extremely tall and looming wall of water that surged towards where he was.
