Chapter 327 Orca
This statement already carries a clear warning connotation.
By explicitly targeting Yuan Xiao, he clearly crossed his bottom line.
The female flying fish flinched again under his gaze, but still forced herself to finish her sentence: "You...you want to go to Illusion Moon Reef, right? Our leader said that whether it's 'Sea Feast' or Illusion Moon Reef, he can protect you."
There is no free lunch in the world.
This "boss," whom they had never met and who was hidden deep in the sea, suddenly offered to "protect" them, especially Yuan Xiao. Yu Mo and Chi Miao knew perfectly well what this person was up to.
So-called "protection" often means greater trouble and costs.
The frost-covered creature that had been circling overhead was already getting impatient.
He couldn't hear the complete conversation, but when he saw the flying fish blocking their way, and Yu Mo and Chi Miao both surfaced and stopped there, he knew they had encountered an obstacle.
He shouted, his voice laced with frustration: "What's going on? Keep going! Why are you dawdling with a fish!"
Yu Mo looked up at Ao Shuang, signaling him to calm down, and then turned his gaze back to the still-shaken female flying fish.
“Go back and tell your boss,” Yu Mo’s voice was firm and resolute. “As long as he doesn’t cause trouble, we can get to the island on our own.”
This is a clear rejection and a warning to draw a clear line: we don't need your "protection," and you'd better not bother us.
The female flying fish understood the meaning behind the words.
She didn't say anything more, but just looked deeply at Yu Mo, then looked up at the snow sculpture in the sky and the blurry female figure, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
The smile quickly faded.
She didn't say another word. With a gentle flick of her tail and the retraction of her pectoral fins, her body shot into the sea like a silver arrow and disappeared in an instant.
Yu Mo and Chi Miao exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Yu Mo submerged back into the water, his figure transforming into a black arrow that cut through the water and sped forward at an even greater speed.
Chi Miao immediately followed, her mermaid body moving with incredible agility in the water, staying close behind.
We must leave this dangerous sea area shrouded by the "Feast of the Sea" as soon as possible and land on Phantom Moon Reef.
However, the "boss" didn't seem to intend to let them leave so easily.
Less than fifteen minutes after they accelerated, a huge wave suddenly burst open on the previously calm sea behind them without warning.
Accompanied by a deep, rumbling sound like thunder as water broke through the surface, a massive, suffocating shadow slowly emerged from the center of the exploding waves.
The first thing to emerge from the water was a mountain-like back, with a tall, sickle-shaped dorsal fin standing upright in the center, reflecting a cold, hard light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Next comes the broad, platform-like head, with smooth lines that exude power.
On the side of its head, enormous eyes slowly opened, their pupils dark and deep, as if they could suck in one's soul.
The look in his eyes didn't seem fierce; instead, it carried an almost playful, condescending scrutiny.
Orca!
Its size is probably even larger than the python-like Black Mamba.
It floated there silently, like a mobile fortress that suddenly rose from the seabed, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression.
It did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, it used its huge eyes to first look at Yu Mo and Chi Miao, who were moving rapidly underwater, and then slowly raised them to lock onto the snow eagle Ao Shuang, which was flying hard in the air, and Yuan Xiao on its back.
Chi Miao felt a pang of fear. The mermaid seemed so small in front of this giant beast, like an inconspicuous appetizer on a plate.
The orcas seemed completely unfazed by their wariness and hostility.
It simply began to swim slowly and deliberately.
Its swimming posture appears leisurely, but its speed is astonishing.
Its massive body broke through the seawater with almost no waves, but the underwater currents it created were turbulent.
Instead of heading straight for Yu Mo or Chi Miao, it adjusted its direction and began to chase the flight path of the snow eagle in the air, swimming parallel to it not far below the sea surface.
That unhurried demeanor seemed to be a provocation: You can't escape.
Xue Diao was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode; the feeling of being watched like prey was absolutely awful.
He kept changing his altitude and direction, trying to shake off the huge shadow that followed him from below.
However, orcas are incredibly agile in the water, always able to keep up with you with ease, maintaining a distance that is neither too close nor too far, yet extremely unsettling.
After a few minutes of stalemate, the orca seemed to find the "chasing game" a bit boring.
Its enormous head was slightly raised, and a small hole appeared on its broad back.
No sound came out.
But the next moment, a thick column of water, as condensed as a high-pressure water cannon, burst forth from the small hole without warning.
The water jet was not aimed at the snow sculpture itself, but rather at the air dozens of meters in front of it, anticipating its flight path.
The snow eagle's pupils constricted sharply, and it roared as it slammed its wings down, performing a perilous emergency stop and side slide in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the direct impact of the water column.
However, the aftershocks of the bursting water column and the spray that filled the sky still poured down like a torrential rain.
Snow Sculpture, Yuan Xiao, and even Little White were instantly drenched.
The icy seawater soaked through the snow eagle's snow-white feathers, instantly turning its originally fluffy and gorgeous wings wet and heavy, significantly affecting its flight posture and causing it to drop sharply in altitude.
Enraged, he let out a series of furious cries, his feathers standing on end, his eyes practically spitting fire as he stared intently at the culprit below, wishing he could swoop down and tear it to shreds with his claws.
But he can't.
He knew very well that once he entered the water and lost his air superiority, he would have almost no chance of winning against this sea monster of such size.
Yuan Xiao was also soaked to the bone. The icy touch and the sudden dishevelment made her gasp. She instinctively hugged Ao Shuang tightly, her body trembling slightly, whether from the cold or from anger, she didn't know.
Little White was soaked to the bone, its downy feathers all drooping down, looking pitiful. It kept shaking its little head, trying to shake off the water droplets.
"Damn it!" Ao Shuang gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do but desperately flap her now heavy wings and try to maintain her flight.
Below, the orca's provocative actions thoroughly enraged the two creatures in the water.
Almost at the same time the water jet was sprayed out, Yu Mo moved.
His massive black body no longer lurked and hid, but instead, like a long-dormant venomous dragon, it suddenly burst forth from the sea, bringing with it a giant wave like a tsunami.
He opened his gaping maw, his fangs gleaming with a cold light, and viciously bit at the orca's relatively soft side, moving with the speed of a black lightning bolt.
