The unknown darkness is terrifying, but if this place is illuminated, the unknown marine creatures attracted by the light might be even more terrifying.
Therefore, even though Xiaopang's space was equipped with lighting equipment, which was a high-end, pressure-resistant, and waterproof product, Qin Ming thought it over and over again but did not take it out or use it, so as to avoid causing any unforeseen problems and wasting time.
Although Qin Ming himself couldn't see clearly, he was willing to trust the senses of his spirit beast.
Perhaps guided by its sense of smell, or perhaps by the guidance of a humpback whale, Little Fatty made no hesitation and swam toward a certain spot with a very clear goal.
As they passed a certain point, Qin Ming felt a sudden downward force, but he held on tightly to Little Fatty, who regained his balance after a moment.
Could this be...?
Dropped deep?
In areas where the water depth increases rapidly, such as steep slopes, hidden ditches, and underwater cliffs, a phenomenon known as "deepening" will occur.
Whether it's a submarine or swimming, once you encounter a "drop in depth," it will be extremely dangerous regardless of your swimming skills or technological level.
In these areas, the water density drops drastically, buoyancy plummets, and if you don't react in time, you'll never have a chance to return to the surface.
Qin Ming was startled, but his mind was perfectly clear. He realized that he might have found the right place!
The melodious and resonant whale calls also corroborated Qin Ming's judgment.
Little Fatty, spotlight!
Qin Ming hadn't used it before because he was worried about wasting time on the road, but it didn't matter now.
In the dim seawater, Qin Ming couldn't see the whole picture, but guided by the humpback whale, the hundred-meter-long behemoth was still quite conspicuous.
Fortunately, it floated steadily and quietly in the sea, complete with its tail and whiskers intact. Qin Ming was shocked that such a massive steel creation was actually made by humankind.
But wait, this area is not safe. Why not cross it quickly or surface?
And it also maintains an abnormally upturned state.
Is the problem with the power system, or is it an internal malfunction?
Qin Ming had no way to think about it in detail, as he couldn't solve these problems inside the submarine in the deep sea.
Every second counts; making it rise to the surface is the only true goal.
"Little Fatty, could you please have the humpback whale lift this enormous creature onto your back?"
Qin Ming didn't have the tools for physical salvage, but he could rely on the extraordinary power of living organisms.
"Be careful, keep a steady pace. Little Fatty, you go help too. Keda, come upstream with me to guide us."
"Gah~ Here I come."
Keda is too small and has limited strength, but Little Fatty has a lot of brute force.
The humpback whale flaps its huge pectoral fins, like a pair of wings, and slowly lifts the submarine, which is several times larger than itself, upwards.
They left the deep, bottomless darkness and steadily moved towards the light.
Qin Ming etched the scene before him deeply into his heart; perhaps no one else but him was fortunate enough to witness this breathtaking moment.
The little fat man and the humpback whale would occasionally exchange energy, their melodious calls echoing through the sea—a song of life.
"Sir, this persistent whale calling is unusual. Should we send some men to investigate?"
There are many intelligent mammals in the ocean that will ask humans for help when they encounter danger, as sailors who spend a lot of time at sea know.
The middle-aged commander frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety, as the rescue efforts stalled. His hand, gripping the communicator, trembled.
But after a moment's hesitation, he still gave the order in a steady voice.
"We are all living beings of nature, go forth."
Sweat had already soaked through his back. He rushed to the scene the moment he received the news. The missing person was one of the soldiers he was leading!
Many of their colleagues and their own families are waiting for them to go back!
We can't let anything happen!
He, who did not believe in gods, prayed silently. Emergency rescue efforts were still underway, and every minute and every second was agonizing.
He didn't know if his decision was right or wrong; his mind was racing with thoughts, but every order he gave was delivered cleanly and efficiently.
……
"Found it! Found it, sir!"
A voice, filled with joy and tears, came from the communicator, easing the tension that had been building up.
Countless people present became excited together.
"What's the current situation? Please provide a brief report. Other channels, remain silent and proceed to the target immediately!"
"Incredible! A whale! A whale is carrying it on its back and swimming towards us!"
"Please remain calm and assess the damage to the submarine."
"Drainage reported as normal..."
"Rescue ship number 3 has arrived..."
"Boarding and rescue operations have commenced..."
Good news kept coming in, and the commander calmly and methodically directed everyone, but his heart was in turmoil.
That's great! Thank you, whale! What a relief!
Everything has a spirit, so I'll feed them more delicious food from now on. Thank you to these adorable creatures!
We must also boycott neighboring countries that kill whales!
……
Upon seeing someone take over from a distance, Qin Ming ordered the humpback whale to retreat, giving it a safe distance.
Qin Ming had originally been considering whether he needed the sweet dew from Keda to help, but after hearing the cheers on the water and the arrival of ships and helicopters, he was completely relieved.
That's it.
Qin Ming, who hadn't yet decided whether to show himself, quietly left, taking advantage of the humpback whale's cover.
The humpback whale really helped us a lot this time. How can we thank it enough?
Qin Ming didn't want to get something for nothing, but he really couldn't afford to raise such a large and greedy creature, and he couldn't just enlighten it at will.
"Kelike, sweet and refreshing, let's give our friend a moment of respite."
"And Little Fatty, let's dig for barnacles together. After we're done, we can get healing."
After much deliberation, Qin Ming finally saw the parasites on the head of the humpback whale under the sunlight, and his thoughts became clear.
"Keda, Fatty, you two did a fantastic job today! Let's keep going!"
"Mmm~ Delicious." The chubby boy exclaimed as he crunched on the food.
Qin Ming: ?
"Little Fatty, what you're eating is... barnacles?"
Little Fatty mumbled something, but after hearing it, Keda tentatively took a bite, then his eyes lit up and he quickened his pace.
Okay, I've heard that barnacles are also a delicacy, so there's no problem with that.
The humpback whale was expelled from its troublesome parasites. Even if it experienced some pain, it was quickly healed, and joyful calls echoed one after another.
"Little Fatty, why don't you set up a space marker? We can visit it regularly from now on," Qin Ming suggested, half-laughing and half-crying.
Based on the humpback whale's contribution today, it deserves regular skin care from Qin Ming and his team.
Besides, Little Fatty loves to eat too, and he doesn't mind being tired at all.
"Snap!" Little Fatty's mouth was still busy, and his left front paw had already impatiently snapped the mysterious pattern.
The trick that Master Kong taught Little Fatty is really useful; it's actually an alternative and clever use of Void Escape.
With Little Fatty's current strength, especially since he's not strong enough to teleport on Earth, he can only be used as a coordinate navigator. Otherwise, he could use a portal, which would be really cool.
Because of Little Fatty's excellent appetite, the two beasts made rapid progress in removing the barnacles, and Qin Ming gradually found himself unable to get involved.
With a burp from Little Fatty, the humpback whale's skin was completely renewed.
It submerged and then rose again, the spectacular mist forming an incredibly dreamlike rainbow under the sunlight, as if it were a parting gift for Qin Ming.
