Hearing Tian Xu praise the sardines who gathered around for protection, Ziyan disagreed, and said: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is just the instinct of creatures, and there is nothing surprising about it." These little fish are stupid and not smart at all, otherwise with such a large population, if they work together, what kind of enemy can't be defeated?"

Tian Xu only intuitively thought that these sardines surrounding him were the escape route he had actively chosen, and the source of his intuition was that he had encountered the group life consciousness several times, such as the plateau jade bee, such as the mechanical ants in the Warcraft, and the Shizhi Idea encountered on Putuo Mountain Island. With such a large population, can't these sardines develop their own sense of community?

He tried to communicate with the group of sardines around him, but he didn't get a response, it seems that Ziyan is right, these sardines don't seem to have the same group will as the few social species he saw before.

Tian Xu was originally not interested in these sardines, but at this time, when it came to the issue of group will that he had always been curious about, his interest was aroused. He suddenly thought of what would happen if he collected some of these sardines into the Medicine King Bucket and studied them carefully?

The three creatures with the will of the group that he had encountered before, the Plateau Jade Bee and Shi Zhi, were all divided into the Medicine King Dou Space by him, and only the mechanical ants that were demonic beasts he did not collect. In fact, he didn't collect mechanical ants, but he collected mechanical ants differently from the other two, which were collected as food for tiger scorpions and dragon sparrows, and they had already been eaten by his pets.

Since he had this thought, he paid attention to the school of sardines around him, and found that the fish were now tightly surrounding him, and the density was quite large, and the school of fish that was originally nearly 100 meters in diameter was gathered to less than 40 meters in diameter. The diameter of his domain was less than thirty meters, and nearly two-thirds of these sardines had already entered his domain coverage, so when he moved, he collected the sardines within the domain into the Medicine King Bucket at once.

At this moment, the surrounding fish that were not included in the pot exploded all of a sudden, and the companions around him suddenly disappeared, how could he not be nervous? Moreover, Tian Xu received so many fish at once, and at the same time, the nearby sea water was also collected by him a lot, and the huge negative pressure formed by the hollow around him made the surrounding sea water rush over instantly, and the fish that were originally far away from him also washed over. Tian Xu took this opportunity to honestly and unceremoniously move again, and took in the remaining fish that had just entered his domain.

Dolphins, swordfish, tuna, and seabirds that roam the outskirts of the fish are also affected. It's just that Tian Xu made a choice when he collected the fish into the Medicine King Bucket and deliberately left them all outside. As soon as the surrounding waters had quieted down a little, the animals rushed out of his realm like frightened birds, and fled far away, never daring to come near him again.

Just then, a group of sharks swam in from a distance. Sharks swim slower than dolphins, swordfish and tuna, and instead of waiting for their time like the tuna, they have just arrived, only to find that the meal they should have just arrived in time is gone.

These sharks were simple-minded, and instead of being depressed by this, they immediately turned around and rushed towards the large school of sardines not far away. They don't have the same purposeful segmentation of fish as dolphins and swordfish, but they just rush through the school and rush to feast on some fish if they inadvertently drive some fish out of the school.

The shark's behavior affected other predators, and dolphin swordfish and tuna also rushed to the school of fish, renewing their efforts to divide a new clump and make up for the feast taken away by Tian Xu. Tian Xu didn't bother them to eat again, and watched from a distance with Ziyan.

After ten minutes, the predators succeeded in dividing a small group of sardines, and then everyone worked together to eat the small group of sardines clean, and then they swam lazily with the fish, waiting for the hungry stomach to eat the next meal.

Those guys who usually meet each other will have life-and-death fights, such as dolphins and sharks, and sharks and seabirds, seem to have released their previous suspicions and coexisted peacefully, without the slightest intention of fighting, let alone preying on each other, and finally mixed into a large group and followed the fish together.

Just when he was looking at this rare scene with novelty, Tian Xu's olfactory imaging suddenly alarmed: A boat came up from behind!

Tian Xu looked behind him and found that there were four boats, which were different from the fishing boats waiting to catch sardines in front, they were all smaller in size, but much more streamlined in shape, and they looked like faster boats. The boats also had nets towed, but the nets were too large to be used for sardine fishing, and they had something like an anti-aircraft gun mounted on the side of the boat, and behind each of these strange guns was one or two people operating. Tian Xu suddenly understood that these boats were coming for these big guys who ate sardines, and the cannons installed on the side of the ships should be harpoons for hunting large creatures.

This harpoon is usually found on whaling ships, and now that they are also installed on these ships, then these boats should be specially prepared for hunting large sea creatures. Reminiscent of the massive killing of dolphins by the Japanese over the years, he speculated that the main targets of these boats were likely to be dolphins.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, Japan's annual large-scale dolphin hunting in Taiji Town, Kii Peninsula on the southeast side of Honshu Island, has attracted worldwide attention because of the movie "Dolphin Bay". Under pressure from around the world, dolphin hunting is no longer concentrated in the town of Taiji, but has spread to the entire coast of Japan. Dolphins are abundant in the Sea of Japan, making it an important area for these people to hunt dolphins.

These dolphin-killing vessels are equipped with specialized equipment and use mechanical harpoons and high-powered sonar to drive and kill dolphins, making it difficult for the dolphins they find to escape their hands.

The boats were getting closer and closer, and at this time they were only less than 500 meters away from the dolphin group, and Tian Xu and Ziyan were also faintly surrounded by them. Suddenly, the high-power sonar on these boats was activated, and the sound waves at the very sensitive frequency of the dolphins echoed in the seawater, and the dolphin group was affected by these sonars, and suddenly became overwhelmed and surfaced in panic.

With the help of a high-powered motor, the ship suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the dolphins, while the ship's gunners operated their mechanical harpoons in their hands, aimed at the dolphins floating on the surface, and prepared to shoot, and a massacre had begun.

At this moment, one of the dolphins suddenly let out a crisp chirp, the sound was high-pitched and loud, and after the dolphins heard this sound, they forcibly dived to the surface of the sea despite the interference of sonar under the water. And the dolphin, which made the call, also sank into the water.

However, Tian Xu and Ziyan clearly saw under the water that the dolphin did not flee into the distance like its companions, but rushed towards the incoming fishing boat. When it was still dozens of meters away from the fishing boat, the dolphin suddenly let out a series of calls, the frequency of which kept changing at high speed, and finally found a suitable frequency, and suddenly increased the transmission power.

Tian Xu was already sure at this time that this dolphin was a spirit beast, and it was a very powerful first-class spirit beast. With the blessing of the aura, the sound wave it emitted rushed towards the target fishing boat in a relatively stable direction, and quickly hit the fishing boat. The frequency it chose coincided with the resonant frequency of the fishing boat, and the fishing boat was tragic. In the increasingly violent shock, the bottom of the fishing boat soon cracked and expanded, and before the people on board could react, the boat broke in two and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The spirit beast dolphin did not stop, turned around and attacked the second fishing boat, and quickly sank another one. Tian Xu could clearly perceive that the ultrasonic waves emitted by the sonars on these boats were still affecting the dolphin, its speed was getting slower and slower, and the aura in its body seemed to be about to run out, although it turned around and swam towards the third ship again, but it was no longer powerless to sink it.

The dolphin was stubborn, still under the powerful ultrasound, and came under the third boat. Instead of sending out another sonic attack, it rose to its strength and crashed directly into the bottom of the ship. The location of its impact was clever, and it was the sonar emitting interference ultrasound waves from the ship. At the same time as the impact, it released all the remaining aura in its body at once, directly destroying the sonar.

At this time, the people on the boat no longer had the heart to catch dolphins, and the two unsunken ships saw the tragic situation of the other two ships sinking rapidly, and were so frightened that they couldn't control themselves, and quickly turned around and fled here, and even the companions who fell into the water on the sunken ship couldn't care about helping.

The fast-sinking ship rolls up a huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea, sucking everything that floats on the surface of the sea. There was little room for struggle among the people on board, and less than a tenth of those who swam away from the side of the boat in time with a lifebuoy in their arms.

Tian Xu asked Ziyan to look at the dolphin that had been seriously injured, and he swam to the two shipwrecks at high speed, found the people who were still alive on the boats one by one, sent them to the sea with the spiritual realm, and then rushed to the other shipwreck, and also rescued the living.

The rescued people didn't understand what was going on at all, they just felt that they had accidentally surfaced on the surface in a trance. There were more than 30 of these people, who were in a group on the sea, floating there with the help of floating buckets or lifebuoys that Tian Xu easily got from the boat. They are all professional sailors who have lived at sea for many years, and they will not die if they soak in the sea water for a day or two.
