Chapter 874: Chapter 119: The Story of the Blue Whale

From Kledec’s words, a sense of loneliness was revealed.

Sperm whales, killer whales, and many types of dolphins are social animals with large families. They move together. Even members of different groups can rely on primitive language for a certain level of communication.

In the ocean, the sound of whales can travel very far. Sounds, unlike light, can easily bypass many obstacles.

Perhaps from a human perspective, two whales cannot see each other. But from a whale’s perspective, they have always been together.

The songs of the whales drift across the entire ocean.

Of course, limited to two hundred years ago.

Today’s whales have already lost those songs drifting under the sea. They are very cautious, disguising their singing.

Generations of whales have been striving to blend their voices with the infrasound noises of the ocean floor—fitting into the slight aftershocks created by the movements of the sea and land.

On human analyzers, the sound produced by whales mixed with the original environmental noise would only be regarded as occasional natural peaks.

They can only mix their songs with the sounds of the earth and the sea, carefully concealing themselves.

The conversation Xiang Shan is hearing now, by whale standards, is equivalent to humans lowering their voices to the minimum, talking in a whisper. This way, the sound becomes very weak when it reaches far away.

For over a hundred years, this group hasn’t spoken in what they see as the normal way.

Every young killer whale has been admonished from an early age not to speak freely.

They must avoid humans.

They have lived this way for nearly two hundred years.

These are what Kledec told Xiang Shan.

From Kledec’s words, Xiang Shan felt an oppression and loneliness. And curiously, this was the part he resonated with the most.

"I never thought I could find this resonance in whales and dolphins."

Xiang Shan sighed.

"As an outsider human, do you also feel oppressed and lonely?" Kledec was very surprised, "You should have many similar ones."

Xiang Shan looked at Kledec, then at the whales and killer whales below.

"Maybe the difference between me and my kind is larger than the difference between you and your companions," Xiang Shan said.

Kledec nodded, "Perhaps that’s true. You humans are numerous. There may always be humans like you."

Xiang Shan chuckled. He never thought that a dolphin would comfort him like this.

No, thinking deeply, these past few hours felt surreal. He was sitting atop a sperm whale, traversing the sea floor.

—It is indeed...

Xiang Shan’s thoughts drifted to his old friends.

People similar to him...

Even though Kanhara Shinhara completely abandoned reason, one point made earlier is not wrong.

Although from the perspective of "Martial God Geng Sheng," "Xiang Shan" intermittently lived for two hundred years. But relative to each individual, they all suddenly revived in this era from "The Only Defeat." Each of them is a new self.

His old friends from back then have continuously lived through.

Between him and his old friends, lies the passage of two hundred years.

And between him and the new friends of this era, also spans two hundred years.

Xiang Shan suddenly thought of another story, also related to whales. Scientists once observed a blue whale singing at 52 hertz. However, the song of blue whales usually ranges from 15 to 20 hertz. A blue whale singing a 52-hertz song is akin to speaking an unintelligible foreign language.

That blue whale just swam in the sea with a language known only to itself, searching for companions with similar songs, searching for companions it can communicate with.

What happened later?

Oh no, it’s not really important.

The blue whales went extinct.

Both the lonely and the not lonely were wiped out by human lunatics together.

So, thinking deeply, he alone, why bother worrying about loneliness?

"Haha, hehehe..." Xiang Shan felt he had told an unfunny joke in his heart, then laughed aloud.

—In the future, if necessary... the rhetoric to deal with those old things needs adjustment.

—Little girl, it’s your turn to teach me a lesson.

"Shooter" lowered his head, gazing into the deep darkness beneath.

It has been several tens of minutes. The submarine has begun to move.

It seems that the Six Dragons Sect, even without clues, already knows how to search for the whales that rescued the main body.

Those whales have been able to hide so far, relying on avoiding the submarines of the Scientific Knight Order. Those whales are surely intelligent, able to hide their infrasound waves in background noise, using those tiny echoes for positioning.

It’s not innate ultrasonic positioning but rather relying on infrasound.

Whales can hear infrasound. Their hearing is inherently broader than humans.

Native whales may not achieve this, but what if intelligent whales undergo long-term training?

"Retrieving specific information from a cluttered background environment" and "Integrating inherent skills with naturally acquired abilities."

These are pathways to Inner Strength.

Typically, humans choose to enhance "visual recognition capabilities" and "integrate programming skills with language functions."

If intelligent whales choose to "enhance infrasound recognition capabilities" and "link infrasound hearing with inherent ultrasonic echo positioning functions," they may gain skills to counter human sonar.

However, this also has limits.

The absolute speed of whales is clearly lower than that of this submarine.

"Shooter" clearly sees this. When that strange enormous whale rescued the main body, the whale should have been at "burst" speed. However, such speed was merely equivalent to this submarine’s normal speed.

Whales must evade all searches by the Scientific Knight Order. And there’s no doubt the Six Dragons Sect holds this intelligence. They just need to find a perfect route that avoids all the areas of activity of the Protectors and the Scientific Knight Order.

The whale is so large. Wanting to completely avoid detection by human sonar is not easy.

The routes available to the whale are limited.

And with this submarine’s speed advantage, they can certainly search several different paths.

Plus the search capability of the Intelligent Squid Group...

It’s not safe over there.

"Shooter" plans in his mind, then lifts his head and says, "If you want to escape, the opportunity is indeed only this one time. So, what are you planning to do?"
