Chapter 241 Almost Forgot the Forgotten Friends

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Almost Forgot the Forgotten Friends

Grandma Tiger Whale didn’t seem to know the specific situation; it was just an animal’s instinct that allowed her to predict the danger. But on careful thought, it made sense. Even Leila and the others hadn’t figured out the situation clearly yet. No matter how smart Killer Whales were, they couldn’t possibly be that brilliant.

"Since this sea area is dangerous, why don’t you move away?"

The sea areas of Skalan Star were vast. The Tiger Whale Clan could entirely relocate to other seas to avoid this place.

"WHEEE!"

Humans believed in returning to their roots. Similarly, although they weren’t the only Killer Whales on Skalan Star, each clan existed independently, and even their languages varied. Grandma Tiger Whale simply didn’t want to leave her home waters to fight for territory with other Killer Whale clans.

"I understand."

Liang He could relate well to Grandma Tiger Whale’s feelings and understood why she had made such a decision. When she first came to Skalan Star, she only thought about trying her best to help save people. But thinking about it now, she needed to do more than just rescue the missing individuals; she also needed to save the animals living in this sea area.

"Then, have you noticed any unusual situations recently?"

Although it was unlikely, Liang He still wanted to ask. Even the slightest new clue would help with her next course of action.

"WHEEE! WHEEE!"

Grandma Tiger Whale paused, seemingly pondering Liang He’s question, before she started crying out excitedly. Because she was too agitated, Liang He found it a bit difficult to understand her meaning.

"You mean... something has already happened to a Killer Whale?"

Liang He felt a bit hesitant about the information she had deduced. Logically, if the Guard Team responsible for the G Sea Area noticed any animal anomalies, they should have reported it immediately. Yet, she hadn’t received any such news from Ao Ke. Even if Ao Ke thought it was a normal phenomenon, he still should have mentioned it in passing when Liang He brought up the Tiger Whale Clan.

"What’s the problem? Did it get sick? Or... did it die?"

Liang He was somewhat reluctant to voice the worst-case scenario.

"WHEEE! WHEEE!"

Fortunately, Grandma Tiger Whale didn’t bring the worst news. From what she conveyed, there was a Tiger Whale Mother who had recently given birth. For some unknown reason, her originally healthy Tiger Whale Baby was deteriorating to the point where it wasn’t much different from being on the verge of death.

"How could this happen?"

Liang He’s brows furrowed tightly, thoroughly baffled. A healthy Tiger Whale Baby, without suffering any attacks and being perfectly protected by the pod, was on the brink of death?

"Can I go see them? I know how to treat illnesses."

Since she couldn’t figure out the cause, it was better to go take a look directly. No matter what, it was still a life. Since she had stumbled upon it, of course she had to save it if she could.

"WHEEE!"

Grandma Tiger Whale could feel the kindness radiating from Liang He. So, after thinking hard, she decided to trust the human before her.

"WHEEE~"

"SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!"

Grandma Tiger Whale asked the Tiger Whale Baby to keep up with her, as it continued to carry Liang He and her boat. Having gradually gotten used to being carried by the Tiger Whale Baby, Liang He practically relaxed into it, completely unconcerned that this grandparent-grandchild duo might drag her into an ocean trench.

"Liang He, how is the situation on your end?"

The walkie-talkie suddenly crackled to life, and Liang He belatedly remembered something important. She had almost forgotten to ask Grandma Tiger Whale to stop the attack on the Sea Ship!

"I’m fine. Something came up on my end, but you don’t need to worry."

Liang He decided not to tell them what Grandma Tiger Whale had shared just yet. It would be safer to inform them after she verified it herself. However, the top priority right now was to get that pod of Killer Whales to retreat.

"I’ll ask the Clan Leader of the Killer Whales to order a retreat. Hold on a bit longer."

With that, Liang He began to call out to Grandma Tiger Whale again. However, because the Killer Whale was so massive and there was a bit of distance between them, Grandma Tiger Whale couldn’t hear Liang He’s calls at all. Left with no choice, Liang He asked the Tiger Whale Baby to call out to her instead.

"Grandma Clan Leader, my friends are all on the Sea Ship. Could you perhaps ask the Killer Whales to come back first?"

They had been training for quite a while now; surely that was enough? If not, Liang He could tailor a training program for them later. She guaranteed it would be far better than their current reckless methods.

"WHEEE!"

Grandma Clan Leader, who had a very good impression of Liang He, did not refuse her request. A high-pitched call pierced through the sea area, reaching straight to where the Sea Ship was located. The unique communication method and language of the Killer Whales successfully relayed Grandma Tiger Whale’s command.

"Why are these Killer Whales suddenly retreating?"

Watching the Killer Whales withdraw in an orderly manner, Lick, who felt like he had just survived a disaster, hadn’t quite processed it yet. When Huo An and Liang He were talking just now, they had been too busy trying to figure out how to drive the Killer Whales away to hear a thing.

"It’s Liang He. She found the leader of the Killer Whales."

Thinking of Liang He’s affinity with animals, Huo An firmly believed her explanation.

"Liang He is amazing! She alone is faster than all of us combined!"

At this very moment, Ao Ke finally gained a clear realization of Liang He’s capabilities.

"These Killer Whales are indeed smart. To think they actually had other Killer Whales take the vanguard while the leader hid in the back to observe."

The Sea Ship gradually stabilized, and President Lucas, who had been under protection, slowly walked over to join Huo An and the others. This experience had given him a new understanding of the Tiger Whale Clan.

"Although Liang He says she’s fine, it would be safer if we sent someone to follow her."

Now that the Killer Whales had retreated, it shouldn’t be a big problem for the Sea Ship to send a boat to tail Liang He from a distance. What President Lucas said echoed exactly what Leila and the others were thinking.

"Then I’ll take a team to follow Liang He."

Leila meant that she would lead the Federation Army and the sailors to locate Liang He and protect her safety. But Goring had his concerns.

"Colonel Leila isn’t very familiar with the situation in this sea area. Wouldn’t it be better to have Ao Ke lead a team to follow her?"

Ao Ke was highly experienced. If he led the sailors and divers, it would be much more convenient in case Liang He needed a rescue. Both sides were considering safety; whether it was for Liang He or themselves, they all needed security guarantees. Ultimately, Huo An made the final decision that he would follow Liang He.

"Liang He is my employee, so I have an obligation to ensure her safety. Besides, we know each other relatively well, so we can coordinate more seamlessly."

Despite saying all that, Huo An’s actual reasoning was very simple. His Beast Form was a Kunpeng, which could enter the sea. If an emergency occurred, he would have a far greater advantage than anyone else. However, the fact that Huo An was a Kunpeng was still classified, and few people knew about it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have secretly gone to Greenfield Star to deal with Elias in the first place. Although he had wanted the element of surprise, it was also to avoid exposing his identity.

"Let’s do as Huo An says."

Goring and the others wanted to persuade him further, but President Lucas cast a vote of approval. Seeing this, the others couldn’t very well disrespect the elder, so they could only agree to let Huo An lead a team to find Liang He.

Meanwhile, under Grandma Tiger Whale’s guidance, Liang He had successfully found the mother and child she had mentioned.

"What is... she doing?"
