Chapter 328 In order to attract someone's attention
Chi Miao also made his move at the same time.
He pushed forward with both hands, and the surrounding seawater was instantly stirred by his power, turning into dozens of high-speed rotating water streams like drills, which strangled the killer whale from different angles.
Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, a hint of excitement flashed in the orca's huge eyes.
It neither dodged nor avoided, nor did it even adopt a clear defensive posture.
Just as Yu Mo's venomous fangs were about to touch its skin, its seemingly clumsy body suddenly rolled to the side with an agility and speed completely disproportionate to its size.
Its enormous body churned the seawater, creating a raging torrent and whirlpool.
Yu Mo's determined bite missed its mark.
The venomous fangs grazed the orca's smooth, tough skin, leaving only a few shallow white marks, without even breaking its scales.
He himself was thrown off balance by the sudden roll and the violent turbulence it created, and veered to the side.
At the same time, the killer whale's hammer-like tail fin, propelled by the momentum of its side roll, swept horizontally in a seemingly casual yet terrifyingly powerful manner.
It wasn't aimed at Yu Mo, but at Chi Miao, who was attacking from the other side.
Immediately following was a series of dull thuds.
Those water-powered drill bits, capable of shredding steel, struck the tail fin of an orca like eggs hitting a boulder, shattering into a shower of water.
The tail fin continued its downward momentum, sweeping towards the mermaid with overwhelming force.
Chi Miao's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected the other party's counterattack to be so simple, brutal, and effective.
He quickly stopped attacking, manipulating the water flow to form dense water shields in front of him, while simultaneously swinging his tail sharply and retreating diagonally backward.
However, the water shield was easily torn apart by the tail fin, as if it were made of paper.
The violent impact slammed into the mermaid's body.
"Ugh!" Chi Miao groaned, his body flying backward uncontrollably like a small boat hit by a giant wave, leaving a long trail on the water's surface.
The orca, on the other hand, seemed to have simply performed a casual flip and tail flick.
It never really killed anyone, from beginning to end.
Whether it was the water jet spraying towards Aoshuang, or the dodge against Yumo and the use of the tail fin to neutralize Chi Miao's attack, it all seemed more like a demonstration.
It displays its terrifying size, strength, and defense.
It demonstrates the same amazing agility and combat intelligence hidden beneath its massive body.
It demonstrates its absolute dominance in this sea area.
Rather than fighting them to the death, it was more like it was using this overwhelming force to tell them: I can stop you easily if I want to; I can hurt you with ease if I want to.
Your so-called strength and struggles are nothing compared to mine.
This is a deeper, more desperate form of deterrence.
This orca is definitely a deep-sea overlord, and has probably lived for a very long time, with unfathomable strength.
Anger and killing intent surged in Yu Mo's cold, serpentine eyes, but he knew that if he fought head-on, his chances of winning were slim.
The orca's massive head paused for a moment, and then it did something that surprised everyone.
It no longer attacks.
Even their confrontational stance has relaxed somewhat.
Its huge tail fin swayed slightly, and its massive body began to slowly sink, as if preparing to leave.
Its purpose seems to be merely to "flex its muscles" and then warn them not to be ungrateful.
Or perhaps... it's just to get someone's attention?
Just as the orca's body was mostly submerged in the water, with only its dorsal fin and part of its head remaining above the surface, Yuan Xiao, still shaken, looked at the huge shadow below that was about to disappear, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
This orca doesn't seem to be as bad as it appears.
It clearly possesses such immense power; if it truly intended to harm them, it had every opportunity to severely injure them just now, but it didn't.
The thought had just crossed Yuan Xiao's mind when, below her, the orca, which had sunk down to the point where only the tip of its dorsal fin remained, suddenly and without warning jerked its massive tail fin upwards from beneath the surface of the sea.
It's not an attack on anyone.
It's just a simple, high-amplitude tail-swing maneuver.
A giant wave, even larger than the previous water jets, suddenly surged up like a wall of water.
The murky seawater, mixed with foam, slammed down on Ao Shuang and Yuan Xiao, who hadn't yet had a chance to fly higher in the air.
This time, Aoshuang had no way to avoid it.
"Holy shit!"
Ao Shuang only had time to utter a curse word before the massive wave that was crashing over her head completely drenched her again.
This "baptism" was even more "generous" than the previous one.
Yuan Xiao felt a sudden darkness before her eyes as the cold, salty seawater completely engulfed her.
The force of the giant wave made her dizzy and her ears ring.
Once the water had passed, she was soaked to the bone, water dripping down her body, and her thin gauze dress clung tightly to her body once more.
The sheer white veil had become almost translucent, clinging tightly to the skin and clearly outlining the curves of the body, revealing glimpses of the delicate, fair skin beneath the dress.
A sea breeze blew, chilling to the bone. Yuan Xiao couldn't help but shiver, hugging her arms, both angry and annoyed, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.
She looked down at the sea. The orca, the "culprit," had completely disappeared beneath the surface, leaving only ripples spreading outwards and the murky water.
"You're so mean!" Yuan Xiao shouted angrily at the empty sea below, her voice filled with shame and indignation. "I'll remember you!"
------------
The sudden appearance and "demonstration" of the orca, though frustrating and embarrassing, seemed to have allowed them to pass its test.
After that, they encountered no more sea monsters or new traps along the way.
The sky suddenly darkened, indicating that they were approaching Moon Reef.
They had finally arrived at their destination.
Under the moonlight and starlight, the details of the island gradually emerge.
The beach was grayish-white, scattered with seashells and fragments of rocks.
The cliff face was steep and covered with dark vines.
The woods were dense, and the branches and leaves swayed gently in the night breeze, making a soft rustling sound.
Everything seemed normal, yet completely different from before.
There were no chirping insects, no calls of night birds, and even the sound of waves crashing against the shore sounded somewhat hollow.
Yu Mo and Chi Miao swam silently toward the beach.
As it approached the shallow water, Yu Mo's enormous python body contracted and transformed back into human form. It waded through knee-deep water onto the beach, its black hair wet, its sharp eyes scanning its surroundings.
Chi Miao also manifested two legs, following closely behind. His face was still somewhat pale, but his expression was focused.
The sand was soft, leaving two clear lines of footprints.
