Chapter 102 Wrong Common Sense
Yaha's first reaction was that he heard it wrong.

"What did you say? Four pairs of bone wings?"

"……Correct."

"Are you sure?"

"No..." Even Tang Li herself became suspicious, "The distance is too far, I... can't be sure."

When the facts and common sense contrast too much, people's first reaction is often not "what to do", but "something must be wrong".

Yaha and Tang Li are currently in this situation.

Xia Ye felt much better, the vague thoughts that had been looming before but could not get rid of, finally became very clear at this moment.

Just need to confirm again.

"I'll fly to a closer location with the second officer to take another look, and I'll be sure." Xia Ye said, "Soon, it only takes less than 2 minutes to go back and forth."

This time Yaha did not hesitate: "Okay."

……

"Are you ready, sister Tang Li, I'm ready to take off."

"This, this posture..."

"Is there anything wrong with this posture?" Xia Ye asked back with a look of reason.

She was holding Tang Li in the posture of a princess.Speaking of which, Tang Li is taller than Xia Ye, but fortunately, her figure is almost as slender as Xia Ye, so her weight is still within the range that Xia Ye can bear.

"My wings are protruding from the back of my waist. Since I can't carry you on my back, I have to hug you. Fortunately, you are not very heavy..."

Tang Li: "..."

"Okay, let's take off. Xiuji, turn my head into a safety belt and fasten it on her body, so as not to fall later."

Xiuji let out a "meow".Xia Ye's head suddenly flowed down from her neck as if melting, and transformed into a thin and long tentacle, which went around Tang Li's slender waist and thighs, and tied her tightly to Xia Ye's body.

"No, you don't need to tie this sword fairy, ah, it's so itchy, coo..."

Xia Ye ignored Tang Li's objection and crushed the 'Thunder Feather' in his palm. While spreading his wings, his whole body, together with Tang Li, turned into a crimson thunder and flew towards the west.

"Thunder Feather" can fly 12 kilometers in 18 seconds, which is about 10 nautical miles.After the maintenance time ended, because Xia Ye didn't designate an attack target, the wings disintegrated into 99 lightning bolts like a big firework and shot towards all directions.

At the same time, Xiuji, who was lying on Xia Ye's shoulder, swelled up, like a rapidly blown balloon.

In a blink of an eye, the cat less than one foot turned into a "cat balloon" with a diameter of more than five meters. Xiuji's head and body became chubby, like a cartoon fat cat, but his limbs stretched out Thin and long, it looped around Xia Ye's body like a rope, hanging her and Tang Li in the air.

The balloon floats forward slowly under inertia.

"I didn't expect sister Xia Ye's spiritual pet to be used in such a way." Tang Li looked at the top of her head and said in surprise.

"Well, it ate a lot of snacks a while ago and gained a lot of weight. I suddenly thought that if Xiuji inflated into an air bag, it should be able to carry people floating in the air. It is indeed possible to try it today."

"This cat isn't fat! It's just growing!" Xiuji protested.

"It doesn't matter, cats are cuter if they are fatter. When the time is up, you can change back."

Xiuji let out a "meow", and his body shrank rapidly, returning to his usual appearance, lying on Xia Ye's shoulder.

What Xia Ye said just now, Tang Li took a closer look at Xiuji at this time, and found that it was indeed much fatter than before...

The scattered thunder light had already gathered into a "feather of thunder", suspended in Xia Ye's palm, she crushed it again, and flew forward for another 10 nautical miles, and then Xiuji turned into a cat balloon again, hoisting the two of them in the air .

"Sister Tang Li, you should be able to see this position clearly?"

Compared with Moby Dick's position, the two had moved forward about 20 nautical miles. During this time, the whale group also swam forward about 3 nautical miles.As a result, the distance to the whale has been shortened by around 110 nautical miles.

Tang Li nodded, and opened the "Sword Pupil" again, huge eyes appeared from the crack, and immediately occupied the position of the cat balloon.

Xiuji protested with a "meow", and reluctantly stepped aside.Under Tang Li's command, the big eyes turned their gaze to the west.

Due to the shortened distance, Tang Li could see a lot more clearly this time, and at the same time, he had enough energy to share his vision with Xia Ye.

Soon, Xia Ye also saw——

Instead of 5 wakes, there are 8, each representing a whale.

They are all white, and they all have four pairs of bony wings; each one is several times larger than those seen in the shallow sea area.

Yaha thinks he's found a special whale and can't forget it.In order to hunt it, they built the Moby Dick and gathered a group of excellent whalers. They searched from the shallow sea area to the deep sea area, and finally found it, just when everyone was ready to fight it to the death. when……

They were shocked to find that there were still eight of the same beluga whales galloping in this direction, and they would collide head-on with the Moby Dick in less than an hour.

"Why...there are so many mutated beluga whales?" Tang Li's expression was both shocked and puzzled, "Could it be that something happened in the deep sea area?"

"Probably not." Xia Ye said, "Let's go back to the ship first. I had a guess before coming here, and now it seems that it has been confirmed."

After finishing speaking, she let Xiu Ji return to her shoulder, then crushed the "Thunder Feather", turned into a flash of lightning, and flew towards the Moby Dick.

……

Think about it carefully, how did the witches of Debusota learn about whales in the first place?

All this comes from the traveling witch, who accidentally mentioned this creature in the chat, but rather than introducing the whale in detail, she was more boasting of her own strength; I was just half-skeptical and didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was not until later that someone actually encountered this huge creature in the waters near De Busota that people finally determined that whales really existed.

And as more people go to sea, more whalers find whales, and the appearance of those whales in the shallow sea has become "common sense" that all whalers know:
The length of the whale is about 60-80 meters. It has two pairs of bony wings. The back is golden yellow and the abdomen is light yellow. The main attack method is whale breath.

Since all whalers encountered by whalers looked like this, of course the whale was such a creature.

As for the deep sea area?Few whalers dare to enter the deep sea; and among them, only a small number can come back alive; as for those who come back alive and have found whales in the deep sea—none at all.

Thus, "common knowledge" about whales persists in De Bussota to this day.

Until one day not long ago, a captain named Yaha claimed that his whaling ship was destroyed by a white whale. The white whale was huge and dangerous, and it was a special mutant whale.

Most people didn't believe her, thinking that she told a stupid lie; a small number of people believed her words, and at the same time acquiesced in one thing - the white whale is a special, mostly mutated whale.

This is a reasonable guess, as "common sense" tells them that normal whales are not like this.

And so, for the sake of Moore, fame and fun (someone), they set out to find and hunt that "special white whale".

They found it—and many more, a huge, white, four-pair bony-winged whale nearly 200 meters long, exactly like it.

So, is the white whale Yaha met really a special mutant whale?
"Common sense" has misled all whalers, as well as Xia Ye; but as an outsider, Xia Ye has only accepted this "common sense" for more than ten days, and therefore, it is easier than whalers to jump out of its shackles.

In fact, as early as when I saw the white whale for the first time, that conjecture appeared vaguely
Because of its bony wings—whether it is the front or the back, the connection between the two pairs is too natural, as if one pair is separated from the other.

So, why can't there be such a conjecture:

Whales in shallow waters are not "normal" whales, but juvenile whales.

When young whales grow to a certain stage, they will enter the deep sea area, where their body size will become larger, their color will become white, and their bone wings will split, changing from two pairs to four pairs—eventually, they will become An adult whale.

This is the "white whale" that Yaha encounters by chance.

It is even possible to guess further:
Perhaps the whale, like the witch, is also an oviparous creature.Adult whales generally only live in deep sea areas, and only enter shallow sea areas when spawning, because shallow sea areas are safer (regardless of witch hunting factors) and are more suitable for juvenile whales to survive, which explains why in the Before Yaha, no one had ever brought back information about Moby Dick.

After all, Debusota's whaling industry has only just started a few years ago. The possibility of encountering a beluga whale in the shallow sea is very small. Even if you encounter it, you will not be able to return to Debusota alive.

Until the appearance of Yaha.

In the cab of the Moby Dick, Xia Ye explained the above conjectures at the fastest speed.

"So, I think, that's what Moby Dick really is."

After Xia Ye finished speaking, she pointed to Yaha.

"And you, my captain, are a true hero to all the whalers of Debsota."
