Chapter 257: Killer whale
Waldo’s expression changed slightly. He then accelerated towards that direction, quickly closing the distance. At this moment, there were many seabirds circling in the sky but none daring to return to the sea.
It seemed they feared something in the west and didn’t dare to land. There must be a sea monster lurking nearby, causing these seabirds to be so terrified that they didn’t dare to stay.
Waldo felt a sense of excitement, but after the initial excitement, he became cautious. Sea monsters were different from mutated creatures on land; they were much more powerful. So, they had to be careful. Right now, he didn’t know how powerful this particular sea monster was.
"Once something unexpected happens, I’ll take you both up into the sky to evade any attacks! The sky is absolutely safe!" he reassured them.
Hearing this, the two women nodded solemnly. At this point, they understood that they had to follow Waldo’s lead; otherwise, there could be serious consequences.
Soon, they saw the true appearance of the sea monster. It was a massive and exceptionally fierce killer whale!
The killer whale, also known as the orca, was the top predator in the ocean. They were not only powerful but also exceptionally vicious. Even the largest blue whales could become prey if they were separated from their pods. While such instances were rare, they had indeed occurred.
This killer whale had undergone mutations as well, with a larger size and some changes in its shape. When it emerged, it leaped out of the sea to a height of seven or eight meters, capturing a few unlucky seabirds in its mouth.
"Is that an orca? Waldo, can you handle it?" Alanna’s face changed slightly, and she was certain that she wouldn’t stand a chance against this killer whale if they were to face it alone.
Helen shared her concern. "Waldo, you don’t have to force yourself. If you can’t deal with it, we can look for another target. There’s no need to be stubborn."
Although Helen felt a bit disappointed, safety was the top priority.
Waldo gently shook his head, looking somewhat eager to try.
"How will we know if we can handle it if we don’t try? The killer whale is the top, most ferocious predator. Once we let it go, where will we find such a good target?" he argued.
As he spoke, the killer whale began swimming in their direction, likely having spotted them. Indeed, when the killer whale approached them, it leaped out of the water and lunged towards them!
"You’re asking for trouble!" Waldo’s expression changed. He roared in response and leaped into the air, fist raised, and struck at the killer whale!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After reaching level sixty, Waldo’s physical strength had increased many times over. The force of his punches was terrifying. In an instant, Waldo threw a dozen punches, causing great pain to the killer whale.
Splash!
Soon, the killer whale fell back into the sea. However, at that moment, it once again leaped out of the water. It seemed incredibly unwilling and wanted to seek revenge against Waldo.
"Ridiculous. You really don’t know your place. If I didn’t find some use for you, I would have killed you a long time ago!" Waldo scoffed dismissively.
This time, Waldo directly pounced on the killer whale’s back. He delivered powerful punches that sent the killer whale rolling on the sea’s surface. It desperately tried to escape, but Waldo stuck to it like glue, making escape impossible.
No matter how it struggled, it ended in failure. Soon, the killer whale was left gasping for breath.
Splash!
The massive body of the killer whale floated to the water’s surface.
Waldo appeared alongside them. Looking at the massive killer whale beneath him, he chuckled, "This beast is much more formidable than Chubby. Not only is its skin tough and body resilient, but it’s also stronger and more ferocious!"
"Wow! Waldo, you really defeated it! That’s amazing! You’re even more formidable than the top predator of the ocean!"
The two women were in awe, and their gazes towards Waldo were different.
Waldo shook his head and said, "Stop being so infatuated! Hurry up, while this beast’s strength hasn’t fully recovered, try to control it! This is your only chance; if you miss it, you’ll miss it for good!"
Helen nodded repeatedly and quickly approached the killer whale. She reached out and placed her hand on its head, closing her eyes slightly.
Ten minutes later, Helen successfully controlled the killer whale. Helen’s body swayed slightly, and she looked a bit drained from using her psychic powers.
Waldo quickly asked, "How are you feeling? Are you okay?"
"I’m fine," Helen shook her head.
At this moment, Alanna stepped forward and used the "Heal" skill on both Helen and the killer whale. Their statuses were instantly restored to full.
"What should we name it?" Alanna pondered.
"Well, let’s call it ’Titan Orca,’" Waldo casually suggested, not showing much fear of the killer whale.
The poor killer whale, still feeling uneasy, had no idea that its name had been decided so casually by Waldo - "Titan Orca."
Waldo really had no reservations when it came to naming things.
"After you’ve taken control of Titan Orca, do you feel anything special?" Waldo asked curiously.
Helen closed her eyes slightly to sense the changes. She soon opened them and explained, "It’s a unique feeling. On one hand, I can clearly sense Titan Orca’s emotional fluctuations, and on the other hand, I can see what Titan Orca sees and hear what it hears. It’s quite amazing!"
Waldo nodded slightly. "It seems like a special aspect of your abilities."
As he spoke, Waldo glanced at the killer whale, causing it to panic and swim as far away as possible, avoiding Waldo’s gaze as if he had seen a ghost.
Waldo couldn’t help but wryly smile. "Am I really that scary? Just one look, and it runs so far away?"
However, Helen could clearly sense the killer whale’s emotions. She chuckled and said, "Titan Orca remembers how you beat it up earlier! After what you did to it, how could it not be afraid of you?"
Waldo sighed in resignation. "Well, I guess I’ll be the bad guy in this case. It doesn’t matter to me."
Afterward, Waldo glanced at the sky. The sun was about to set. It was getting late, and he said, "We should head back now. If we don’t, we won’t have anywhere to stay tonight!"
At this point, they were quite far from the Dawn Voyager. If they didn’t return soon, they might have to spend the night at sea, which seemed impossible.
Soon, Waldo, along with Helen and Alanna, and the killer whale Titan Orca following behind, began their journey back. However, they had traveled quite a distance from the Dawn Voyager, and they couldn’t find their way back immediately.
As time passed, nightfall drew near, and the sea became increasingly dangerous. Various formidable sea creatures were likely to appear. Even someone as strong as Waldo couldn’t guarantee their safety in such conditions. Moreover, there was no place to rest in the open sea.
Waldo suggested, "I’ll fly up into the sky to take a look."
He then ascended to an altitude of about 500 meters. With a quick glance, he spotted a small dot on the horizon – the Dawn Voyager!
Waldo recognized it without a doubt. That small dot was indeed the Dawn Voyager. Fortunately, they had found it. Without this discovery, they might have had to spend the night at sea, which would have been quite dangerous.
Waldo sighed in relief and said to the two women, "I found the Dawn Voyager. We’ll be back soon."
Helen asked, "Waldo, did you find the Dawn Voyager? If not, Titan Orca can help us. Its hearing is exceptional, and it can use sound to locate the direction of the Dawn Voyager."
Waldo reassured them, "No need, I found the Dawn Voyager. We’ll be back soon."
Alanna and Helen both breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t want to be stranded at sea. Thankfully, Waldo had found the Dawn Voyager’s direction.
Just at that moment, Helen and Alanna suddenly felt that something was amiss. Waldo still hadn’t returned, hovering in mid-air, motionless, and gazing in one direction.
The two women were puzzled and concerned. They shouted loudly, "Waldo, what are you looking at? Come down quickly!"
However, to their slight surprise, Waldo slowly shook his head and replied, "I seem to have found a supply crate. I’ll go check what’s inside. Wait here."
"A supply crate?" The two women exchanged puzzled glances. They hadn’t expected to encounter a supply crate at sea. It was their first time encountering one on the water.
They couldn’t help but be curious about what might be inside a supply crate in the middle of the ocean.
Waldo was also curious about the contents of the crate. He flew towards it and noticed a change in his expression. It was because he had discovered that this supply crate was of platinum grade!
"Congratulations! You’ve obtained a platinum-grade supply crate!"
Platinum grade!
Waldo was taken aback. At this moment, he wasn’t sure if he should be ecstatic, ecstatic, or ecstatic! After all, platinum-grade supply crates had always been extremely rare throughout. They were just one tier below diamond grade. Now, he had casually stumbled upon one. It was simply unbelievable!
Suppressing his overwhelming excitement, Waldo opened the crate directly.
"Successfully opened the platinum-grade supply crate."
"Obtained a yacht x1."
