"It's unusual for such a large group of whales to be so close to Debussota, and if it had happened every day, we would have lived in the upper town by now." After the first mate finished speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"It's unusual, but I think it's a good thing after all." She continued: "As long as we catch up and kill one or two, whether we can find that white whale or not, our Moor on this trip is guaranteed." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded one after another, including Yaha, who was bent on hunting beluga whales, and the summer night who was "not bad for money" on the surface. After all, no one is going to get along with Moor.

"What about your opinion?" Yaha looked at the chief engineer again.

"Fuel, good thing." This time, the chief engineer actually said four words.

"You mean that if we kill the whales in this herd, then fuel will not be a problem?" Yaha translated for her again.

"Yes."

"Okay, what about you, second mate?"

"Ben...... Of course I don't have a problem, after all, I found out. Tang Li looked like she had recovered.

"Okay, then ......" Yaha finally looked at the summer night.

"I have an opinion!" Summer Night gave a loud shout with great energy, which successfully startled everyone in the cab.

"Miss Summer, Miss Summer Night, even if you object, don't ...... Don't shout so loudly, it will affect the helmsman's driving. The first mate weakly reminded.

"Uh-huh, I'll pay attention next time, beautiful (and big-boobsed) first mate." Summer Night said with a smile.

"Huh...... Beautiful or something...... Well, but ...... Thank you, thank you......" The first mate blushed suddenly.

"If you want to say it, say it quickly, what is the objection?" Ahab urged.

"If I have any objections, I don't." "After all, I don't know how to hunt whales." ”

"You-" Yaha's expression suddenly looked like he wanted to press Summer Night to the ground.

"But......" Summer Night hurriedly said, "Captain Yaha must have other opinions, right?" When I look at you, I know you have doubts, so I'll help you raise them first. ”

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Yaha.

Yaha hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "That's right, I think that if you rush to chase it, you may encounter danger." ”

Everyone was silent, waiting for her to continue.

"First of all, everyone should know that because of the rise of the whaling industry in recent years, the airspace within 10,000 nautical miles of Debussota is no longer infested with whales, let alone whale pods. It's unusual to spot a pod of whales so close, and in the Aetheric Sea, any anomaly could represent a mortal danger.

"Second, these whales are so fast, I estimate 150 knots, whereas under normal circumstances, whales don't swim more than 80 knots. So, I feel ...... It's like they're hiding from something. ”

"Is it possible that some other whaling ship is hunting?" Summer Night asked.

"If another whaling ship encounters such a large group of whales, they will only be besieged by them until the ship is destroyed and people die." Yaha said.

"Then why do we dare to chase them?"

"Because our ship is specially modified, both in terms of firepower and tonnage, it is much larger than ordinary whaling ships."

"Oh...... In that case, is it Miss Ben's fault? ”

“…… You wouldn't be wrong to say that. ”

The first mate also asked, "Captain Yaha, what do you think is chasing them?" ”

Yaha nodded, "That's my third reason: I'm worried that the moths are chasing them. ”

Mothbeast.

Hearing this word, everyone looked puzzled.

"What's the danger of a moth? And I've never heard of them hunting whales. After the first mate finished speaking, the others also nodded lightly in agreement.

But Yaha's tone affirmed, "Yes." ”

"Captain, you...... See? The first mate asked.

"On our last outing, we saw a whale besieged and killed by a pack of moths, but luckily we were able to return and escape back to Debusota before their attention could turn to us." Yaha said in a deep voice.

No wonder Yahab didn't catch a whale that time, Summer Night thought to himself, and the next time, he had met the white whale.

"I've encountered those monsters too." Tang Li frowned and said, "Although the appearance is hideous, if you want to say that the strength is not enough to be afraid, even if you come in groups, I can kill them all by myself...... Can they really hunt whales? ”

The chief engineer suddenly spoke: "The difference is big. ”

Yaha: "Chief Engineer, she said that there was a lot of difference between the different moths. In fact, we can think about it carefully, in recent years, the moth beasts that have invaded Debussota are more powerful than the other, and it is said that Shangcheng has recently needed to send a big witch above level 6 to deal with it. If it was that kind of moth beast, wouldn't it be able to hunt whales? ”

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately fell silent.

The last thing to break the silence was the summer night: "That...... Can anyone tell me what a moth beast is? ”

The last time she heard the word Mothbeast was when she was robbed by Grady, and she didn't know what kind of creature it was.

But as soon as this question was raised, everyone except Yaha looked at her with strange expressions, as if to say, "Why don't you even know about the moth?"

"I knew about it, but because of some accidents, I forgot a lot of things." Summer Night nodded his "head" and explained very calmly.

"I see!" Tang Li seemed to accept such a setting immediately.

The others nodded silently, believing Summer Night's explanation.

"Miss Summer Night, the so-called 'Moth Beast' is our collective name for all the monsters that invade from beyond the Sky Dome."

The second mate patiently explained: "They are very different in appearance and strength, and the only thing in common is probably that they are all eager to get into our world, and they always want to get in at any cost, even if they will be all killed by us after coming in, they still go forward one after another, just like moths to a fire, so they were named 'Moth Beast' by the witches in the past."

"In the past, the mothbeasts were very weak, and most witches could easily kill them, but in the last year or two, the invading mothbeasts seem to be getting stronger and stronger, and the mothbeasts that have invaded Debussota have already needed to be dealt with by the great witches in the upper city, but in the Aether Sea, no one seems to have encountered a powerful mothmon yet...... Except for the one Captain Yahab had just mentioned. ”

After listening to this, Summer Night said, "Not only Captain Yaha, but not long ago, I met a whaler named Graydy, and she said that her ship was destroyed because of an attack by a moth. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became a little solemn. If Yaha's encounter with one time is a special case, but if other whalers have encountered the same thing, it probably means that the probability of encountering dangerous mothbeasts in this airspace is not small.

"Where's that Graydy, and will you still be able to find her when you get back?" Yahab asked.

"She was bankrupt and wanted to rob me at that time, so she died." Summer Night replied.

Yaha's suddenly stopped talking.

After a while, she spoke again: "So, now we are facing a situation: if we change course and go after that whale group, we should be able to hunt at least one or two whales and harvest 2-40,000 moles of whale oil, but at the same time, it is also possible to run into dangerous moths and end up with the ship being destroyed." But if we give up, it will be equivalent to watching the Moor in front of us run away in vain, and at the same time, due to the lack of fuel, it will be more difficult to find the beluga whale in the future.

"To catch up, or not to catch up, I want to hear everyone's thoughts."
