Seeing the humpback whale in the picture heading straight for the scientific research ship, Xie Jie, who was far away in China, became nervous.
Although humpback whales rarely attack other marine life, they rarely attack humans.
But just because it rarely happens doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
Especially a group of humpback whales that are in a state of rage. Xie Jie, a leading figure in biology, has no idea what they want to do at this moment.
"It's so scary. There are so many humpback whales. I'm afraid even a small warship can't do anything to them."
"Master Yu, don't be stunned. What are you waiting for if you don't run?"
"These humpback whales probably won't attack Master Yu. They seem quite friendly."
"Friendly? Upstairs, you didn't see how they slapped the killer whale's mouth just now."
"This feeling of oppression would have filled my pants if I had done it."
The audience was talking a lot. Most of them thought that the hawksbill should run away quickly, while a few thought that the humpback whale might not attack humans.
Unlike the audience, Huoyu calmed down as the humpback whales continued to approach.
[Animal Taming Technique] gives him the ability to interpret the body language of animals, and he can clearly feel that these big guys do not have any malicious intent.
"Woo-"
The headed humpback whale let out a long cry, as if saying hello to the hawk fish.
The sound of humpback whales is very beautiful and very consistent with human aesthetics of sounds.
This sound is like some kind of horn sound, ethereal and ancient, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Huo Yu heard the meaning of friendship from the melodious whale call, and he relaxed.
The group of whales stayed a hundred meters away from the [Red Jiao].
As if fearing that Huo Yu would misunderstand, only the leader of the humpback whale swam towards the [Red Dragon] alone.
Huo Yu stood up with difficulty, leaned his body against the fence, and looked at the huge leader humpback whale.
"Thanks a lot, big guy."
Huo Yu stuck his head out and sincerely thanked the giant whale leader in front of him.
No matter whether the other party really intends to save his life, or he just does it out of his hobby of beating up killer whales.
His life was indeed saved by these big guys. This is an undoubted fact.
"Woo-"
The leader of the humpback whale responded, and his huge body moved closer to Huo Yu.
"Ouch! (Don't come any closer!)"
The little fish next to him immediately became alert, his tail dropped straight down, his tail tip raised slightly, and he made a warning sound.
Wolves are one of the most sociable predators.
Their communication methods often do not rely on a single communication method, but are quite diverse.
Howling, nuzzling each other, licking with tongues, changes in body posture, and even subtle changes in lips and eyes are all conveying a certain message.
The posture of Xiaoyu now is a typical body language when communicating with wild wolves.
It represents a threat, but there is no confidence in it.
"Shh-"
Huo Yu softly comforted the little wolf cub, trying to calm it down.
He could hear strong and complex emotions in the humpback whale's tone.
There were kindnesses, requests, doubts, and a hint of pain.
Could it be that he was injured while fighting a killer whale?
It can't be.
The scene just now couldn't really be called a fight. It was simply a passing boxing coach who saw an undisciplined naughty kid and went up to give him a one-sided beating.
What's more, there is a thick layer of barnacle armor on the humpback whale's body, which is extremely hard and difficult for ordinary attacks to break through.
etc!
A flash of inspiration flashed in Huo Yu's head.
Barnacles?
Whale barnacles are parasitic arthropods that live on whales.
The barnacles will lay the hatched small barnacles in the skin of the whale, allowing them to grow in the skin of the whale. This way they can absorb nutrients from the whale and are not easily washed away by strong currents.
For barnacles, this is a huge win.
But for whales, having barnacles on their bodies is a very painful thing.
If the barnacles are attached to thicker skin, whales may tolerate them.
But if the skin of the parasite is thinner, the whale will feel pain and itching.
They will flap their fins desperately, constantly jump out of the water, and some even can't help but hit ships and reefs with their barnacled parts.
All these actions are to knock down these barnacles and relieve the pain on the body.
Unfortunately, once barnacles are attached, they are difficult to remove, especially those attached to the reproductive organs, which will cause the whales exponentially more pain.
Huo Yu looked intently at the leader of the humpback whale in front of him.
As whales age, the number of barnacles on their bodies increases.
This humpback whale is in its prime and has a stronger body, and its body is larger than other humpback whales.
This results in a frightening number of barnacles on its body.
As far as I can see, the head, nostrils, back, fins and even the genital tube of the humpback whale leader are covered with dense white barnacles.
These barnacles are clustered on the humpback whale's skin. The surface is gray-white and has a calcareous shell. Its shape is somewhat like a horse's tooth.
The density of barnacles is extremely exaggerated. If you are a patient with trypophobia, you will want to dig out your eyeballs at a glance.
The camera followed up, and the condition of the humpback whale leader's skin was transmitted to the live broadcast room screen.
The audience's scalp suddenly became numb when they looked at the group of barnacles that protruded like horse teeth with holes.
"What the hell is this? I'm getting goosebumps."
"That's enough, that's enough. Mr. Yu, you don't have to let the drone get so close and take such clear pictures."
"It's so annoying, it's so annoying, it seems like I rushed into the screen and dug them clean."
"Wucao, I don't dare to look at it. Please tell me, brothers, when the camera passes."
"My face is numb. Trypophobia can't hurt me."
Seeing that the audience in the live broadcast room expressed discomfort, Huo Yu quickly controlled the system to turn on the live broadcast warning.
The next moment, every live broadcast viewer's screen became blurred, and an official warning box appeared in the center of the live broadcast screen.
[It may cause discomfort, please choose to watch with caution]
At the same time, three options appear on the screen.
1. Ignore the risks and continue visiting
2. Exit the live broadcast room immediately
3. Help me blur uncomfortable images
Although the picture caused strong discomfort to the audience, most viewers did not choose to quit.
Almost all the remaining viewers chose to blur, and only a few real warriors chose "ignore the risk and continue the visit" again.
Even though hawks don't have trypophobia, the density of barnacles on the leader's humpback whale still caused him some discomfort.
"Do you want me to clean the barnacles off you?"
Huo Yu tried to ask.
"Woo-"
The humpback whale chirped happily and slapped the barnacles on its side with its huge fins.
