19: Chapter 19 Excessive Blue Spirit Fruit, a Shocking Fact

On a vast expanse of azure sea, a massive orca with black and white coloration was swimming.

Suddenly, its speed surged wildly, as if it were rushing to a meal, accelerating so fast it seemed ready to take flight.

At this moment, Captain Qin Hao and Lin Mengyao were riding on the orca's back, enjoying the scenery, completely at ease.

Captain Qin Hao breathed in the delicate fragrance from the campus belle Lin Mengyao, feeling utterly delighted.

As the orca abruptly sped up, Captain Qin Hao instinctively wrapped his arms around Lin Mengyao's slender waist—soft and supple, very comfortable.

Moreover, with Lin Mengyao's clothes soaked, her perfect figure was even more accentuated, slender yet curvaceous.

'Whoa, why is this orca suddenly swimming so fast?' Captain Qin Hao pretended to be surprised.

He could actually handle this speed just fine, but for safety's sake, holding on tighter seemed wiser.

Feeling Captain Qin Hao's arms around her waist, Lin Mengyao's body instantly went limp, a tingling sensation washing over her.

How could the Captain hold her like this?

'Yeah, this little orca is really naughty.'

It was unclear whether she meant the orca or Captain Qin Hao was being naughty.

The corners of Captain Qin Hao's mouth lifted into a smile as he asked, 'Well, is the orca naughtier than me?'

His hand began to creep upward, deciding to test how it felt.

'Ah! Captain, how... how can you do this?'

Lin Mengyao's face flushed crimson, bashful to the extreme. She felt utterly embarrassed—stimulated yet shy, and too timid to resist.

Captain Qin Hao explained, 'No choice. To keep from falling off, I had to find a good spot to hold onto.'

'Oh, okay.'

Lin Mengyao wanted to ask, 'Are you really trying to feel me up or is it for safety?' But she didn't dare say it.

Perhaps it really was for safety, just as the Captain said.

Seeing Lin Mengyao's delicate, blushing appearance, Captain Qin Hao smiled. This little Meng Yao was really fun. Don't tell me later, even if I sleep with you, you'll still think I'm being good to you?

He looked at the swiftly moving orca and pondered, 'Why did this orca speed up so much? Is the destination far away?'

'Probably.'

As soon as Lin Mengyao finished speaking, the orca dove headfirst into the water, swimming toward the ocean's depths.

It nearly gave the two of them a fright.

Underwater, the orca seemed to swim even faster. Due to its immense size, any small fish in its path were sent flying upon impact.

Captain Qin Hao was also taken aback. Why did he feel like he was driving a giant truck?

He was piloting this 'big truck', crashing straight ahead wildly. Any fish that didn't get out of the way would be sent flying.

Simultaneously, a problem occurred to him. Although his lung capacity was strong and he could breathe underwater for a long time, he wasn't a god.

Moreover, the water pressure in the deep ocean would be hard to withstand.

Finally, after the orca swam for a long time, they seemed to arrive at a relatively shallow seabed area.

Upon arriving, Captain Qin Hao's eyes widened because he seemed to see a blue whale!

This creature, hailed as the largest animal on Earth, was lying there.

And not far from the blue whale, to Captain Qin Hao's shock, there were even larger whales—more than one!

Keep in mind, that blue whale looked to be a full 40 meters long, while those larger whales were probably over a hundred meters!

Furthermore, there were all kinds of whales here, of varying lengths.

'Holy moly, what kind of place is this?'

'Is this the royal family the orca mentioned?'

Given the orca's size, compared to the blue whale and those even larger whales, it was truly insignificant.

It felt like that blue whale alone could swallow the orca in one bite...

Let alone that even more gigantic whale!

Captain Qin Hao swallowed hard. This creature was so huge he had no idea if his Tenfold Amplification would be enough to handle it. No guarantee at all. If this thing went on a rampage, would he end up being swallowed whole?

In contrast to Captain Qin Hao's shock,

Lin Mengyao showed no sign of surprise. Instead, she explained to Captain Qin Hao, 'That largest whale is called a Sky-Swallowing Whale.'

'Probably because it's so big, its ambition is as high as the sky, wanting to swallow the very heavens.'

Captain Qin Hao was speechless. It could be like that?

'Ooo...'

The whales below emitted low, drawn-out calls, as if greeting Lin Mengyao.

Then, two small whales, each holding a fruit in their mouths, swam over and presented them to Captain Qin Hao and Lin Mengyao.

Captain Qin Hao activated his True Sight Eye and looked over.

[Blue Spirit Fruit: A unique product of this ocean, extremely difficult to bear fruit. Eating it allows complete adaptation to the marine environment, fearlessness of high pressure, no worry of oxygen deprivation, and strengthens the body. Side effect: May cause slight dizziness.]

Captain Qin Hao's eyes instantly widened, his heart pounding wildly.

'Damn, this is good stuff! This trip wasn't in vain!'

It seemed the whale royal family inviting Lin Mengyao here really did come with benefits.

Lin Mengyao glanced at the fruit. Although she didn't know what it was, she happily accepted it and ate it directly.

Seeing this, Captain Qin Hao broke into a sweat. This girl ate it without even knowing what fruit it was.

He said, amused and exasperated, 'Little Meng Yao, aren't you afraid it's poisonous?'

Lin Mengyao munched on the sweet fruit and said, 'I don't think they would harm me. Besides, this high pressure is really uncomfortable, and that fruit seems like it can fix it.'

Captain Qin Hao thought a woman's intuition was really accurate. He then ate his fruit as well.

Afterward, he felt his bodily functions continuously evolving and strengthening.

Originally, being in this high-pressure environment was very uncomfortable, but due to his body's enhancement, he fully adapted. His lungs also underwent a mutation, solving the oxygen deprivation issue.

'What a treasure!'

Immediately after, Captain Qin Hao saw Lin Mengyao chattering away with the blue whale and others.

Like birdsong, he couldn't understand the whale calls either.

During the conversation, Lin Mengyao revealed something that shocked Captain Qin Hao.

Lin Mengyao pouted and said, 'Captain Qin Hao, the Sky-Swallowing Whale says it's not a creature from this planet. It was transported here from another planet by unknown beings!'

'On its original planet, the Sky-Swallowing Whales were being slaughtered en masse, pushed to the brink of extinction.'

'However, unknown beings appeared, transported them away, and preserved the few remaining Sky-Swallowing Whales!'

'Although anesthetized during the process, they were still aware! It has lived over four hundred years and has developed some intelligence.'

Captain Qin Hao's face was full of disbelief.

What a joke. Such huge Sky-Swallowing Whales, over a hundred meters long, and so many of them. How could they be transported? What kind of being is that powerful?

Suddenly, he thought of a Spaceship...

If there was an enormous Spaceship, couldn't it transport them?

So, were these Sky-Swallowing Whales brought here to protect an endangered species, or were they deliberately kept, like a curated collection in a backyard?

Thinking this, Captain Qin Hao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. What level of power would be required to accomplish something like this?

'Meng Yao, I think we shouldn't stay here long!' Captain Qin Hao said seriously.

Lin Mengyao naturally understood Captain Qin Hao's meaning, but she still pleaded, 'Captain, that blue whale has a huge weapon embedded in it. The Sky-Swallowing Whale begged me to help pull it out. After it's removed, it can eat fruit to recover.'

Among these whales, perhaps the Sky-Swallowing Whale, having lived for centuries, had gained some intelligence, but it still didn't know how to remove the weapon from the blue whale.

Captain Qin Hao nodded, swam over, and approached the blue whale. He saw the so-called weapon—it was actually a massive harpoon! Probably a meter long!

But for some reason, the harpoon was completely embedded in the blue whale's flesh. It hadn't died, and the rope seemed to have snapped.

He directly activated Tenfold Amplification and forcefully pulled the harpoon out.

'Ooo...'

Perhaps due to the pain, the blue whale let out a low moan that actually made Captain Qin Hao's eardrums ache slightly.

Lin Mengyao said happily, 'Although the blue whale is crying out in pain, it's also thanking you!'
