The ocean surface kept rolling.
Beside the fishing boat, unexpectedly, appeared a gigantic whale!
The whale exposed half of its head, covered with many white, protruding barnacles.
Its head was flat, and it had a large mouth full of teeth.
The whale emitted a plaintive cry.
Fearlessly, Xiaojin Hua lay at the edge of the boat, barking at the whale. Jiang Feng patted its head, and only then did Xiaojin Hua stop barking.
Jiang Feng spoke to the online viewers in the live stream:
"It’s a Humpback Whale. Humpback Whales have relatively good temperants, they don’t attack humans, and are quite friendly towards us."
"They’re also very smart. Given their massive size, they must be intelligent."
"It seems like it wants us to help remove the barnacles."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the anxious viewers in the live stream breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The ocean truly is terrifying.
They had only ventured 10 nautical miles out and had already encountered a Humpback Whale.
This sea area is relatively deep and far from human habitation, so it’s normal for whales to be active here.
The viewers in the live stream began discussing.
[Whoa! When the whale appeared just now, it really scared , I thought the Master was done for!]
[My heart skipped a beat just now!]
[Good thing it’s a Humpback Whale; they don’t attack humans!]
[What’s on its head, it looks so gross!]
Jiang Feng’s live stream beca lively again.
When they first set out to sea, there were about 50,000 viewers in the live stream.
After all, the sea becos boring after a while.
But now, due to the whale’s appearance, the number of viewers quickly rose, soon breaking 100,000 .
Numbers above 100,000 only show as 100,000, so it’s unclear exactly how many are watching.
Jiang Feng gradually cald down. Looking at the Humpback Whale close to the fishing boat, he considered helping the whale remove the barnacles.
Jiang Feng is very compassionate towards injured wild animals, always willing to help when he sees one; otherwise, he feels uneasy.
"It wants us to help remove the barnacles. I can reach the ones close by, but not the ones further away."
Jiang Feng picked up a small knife from the side.
Then, lying at the edge of the boat, he leaned out and actually began using the knife to remove the barnacles.
"Master Jiang," Shen Feifei, worried that Jiang Feng might encounter danger, hurried over and held onto his body to prevent him from falling.
At this mont, Xiaojin Hua’s intelligence shone through.
It ran to Jiang Feng’s side, biting his pant leg and pulling him back.
Because the sea was cold, Jiang Feng was wearing long pants, which Xiaojin Hua could conveniently grab onto.
Jiang Feng touched the large forehead of the Humpback Whale.
There were a few barnacles close by, like upside-down conches, embedded into the whale’s skin.
These barnacles are hard to pull off, and must be cut off with a knife.
The drone gave Jiang Feng a close-up.
Jiang Feng was seen leaning over the edge of the boat, arms outstretched, slicing with the small knife on the whale’s forehead.
Accompanied by the sharp blade’s cuts, a barnacle was soon removed.
Jiang Feng pulled off the barnacle and casually tossed it into the ocean. The parasitic barnacle could no longer survive as a parasite, and returning it to the ocean could provide nourishnt to marine life.
The spot where the barnacle was removed revealed the whale’s smooth skin, although the parasitized skin was white, slightly different from its original black color.
Jiang Feng consecutively cut off several barnacles.
The number of viewers in the live stream kept increasing.
[Watching the barnacle removal is so satisfying!]
[I’ve only seen it done on sea turtles, never on a whale!]
[The barnacles on the whale are so large, who knows how much nutrients they’ve absorbed!]
[The Master is really sothing!]
Jiang Feng, having finished removing the barnacles on its head, felt quite satisfied.
Just then, the Humpback Whale suddenly surfaced beside the boat.
Next, the viewers witnessed a hair-raising scene.
The Humpback Whale’s back was densely covered with barnacles!
These barnacles were all embedded like shells on the whale’s back.
Just one glance made one’s scalp tingle.
Jiang Feng exclaid in surprise, "So many?"
Shen Feifei was also a bit shocked.
The viewers in the live stream were even more astonished:
[Oh my god, it’s making uncomfortable all over!]
[This whale is so pitiful!]
[With so many barnacles on its body, just thinking about it makes itch!]
[My trypophobia is acting up!]
The Humpback Whale’s back was densely packed with a large expanse of barnacles.
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but frown.
Next to him, Shen Feifei said, "There are too many barnacles to remove!"
"I’ve encountered similar situations before, but could only help clean the head and sides, the back is a bit far from the boat, couldn’t reach."
Hearing Shen Feifei’s words, Jiang Feng said to him:
"Reduce the boat’s power, I’ll help it clean."
"It’s okay, it’s not that complicated."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng, Shen Feifei understood and imdiately went to the cockpit to instruct his cousin to reduce the boat’s speed.
Soon, the fishing boat’s speed began to decrease.
Jiang Feng took off his shoes and pants, returning to the cabin to change into swimwear.
Holding a long knife, he went to the boat’s edge and jumped from the fishing boat into the sea.
Seeing him dive, the viewers were dumbfounded, unable to speak.
With the whale in the water, he dared to jump in.
This is truly sothing not everyone can do.
Just watching is frightening.
Jiang Feng didn’t hold back and stepped directly onto the whale’s body.
His idea was simple: if the whale moved violently, he’d just flip back onto the fishing boat.
There wouldn’t be any danger.
Moreover, Humpback Whales are relatively gentle and even interact with humans. They’ve been known to drive away sharks to protect humans.
So Jiang Feng felt at ease.
He stepped on the whale’s back and stood there. Surprisingly, the whale neither sank nor dodged but rather towed Jiang Feng along, traveling together with the fishing boat.
This scene was just too unbelievable.
[The master is amazing!]
[Isn’t he really scared?]
[I feel a chill at my feet!]
[Whoa, man!]
Jiang Feng didn’t react much; he just thought that standing on a whale’s back felt quite comfortable.
Jiang Feng looked at the densely packed barnacles in front of him, took a deep breath, and began to clean them.
Since there were quite a number of them, he couldn’t clean them one by one, so he just cut them down in chunks.
The barnacles looked disgusting, like shells growing on the body.
Jiang Feng sliced open the barnacles with a knife and then pulled them off, even seeing little threads!
The live stream attracted more and more viewers.
Many had seen barnacles on whales online but rarely saw people cleaning them off whales.
Because cleaning barnacles off whales is incredibly difficult and looks quite dangerous.
Now Jiang Feng cleaning barnacles off a whale instantly drew a crowd.
The newcors to the live stream were stunned.
[Oh my gosh! The master is riding a whale?]
[He’s standing on a Humpback Whale, drifting on the ocean?]
People talked among themselves.
At Jiang Feng’s ranch, the employees were constantly exclaiming in surprise.
Their master had just gone to Hainan for a few days and was already doing things beyond everyone’s imagination.
Jiang Feng didn’t bother with any of that; he just focused on cutting the barnacles with a knife.
As he cleaned bit by bit, there were fewer and fewer barnacles on the whale’s back, revealing a large patch of white skin.
At this mont, the Humpback Whale was elated.
It’s like when humans gently peel off a scab after an injury, revealing tender new skin beneath.
The Humpback Whale kept looking up, wanting to rember Jiang Feng’s face.
This went on for over half an hour, till the densely packed barnacles on the whale’s back were cleaned off.
Jiang Feng even washed the cleaned area with his hand, making the whale feel even more delighted.
Then Jiang Feng grew bolder.
There were still a few barnacles on the Humpback Whale’s large head that hadn’t been cleaned yet.
Jiang Feng stood up, maintained his balance, and began walking from the whale’s back towards its head.
"Splash, splash, splash!"
With each step, water splashed around.
This scene was shocking, and the viewers held their breath in tension.
So bold!
Jiang Feng sotis exuded such wild energy that people could only admire him.
His physique was balanced, and though he didn’t have the overpowering presence of muscular n, his intangible charisma made people feel like worshipping him.
Jiang Feng walked to the Humpback Whale’s head, squatted down, and cut away so large barnacles with a knife.
After thoroughly cleaning, Jiang Feng patted the whale’s large head contentedly and gave it a light tap.
Just like patting a Border Collie.
This was a gesture of human comfort.
"Done!"
The icy seawater swirled around, and at this mont, Jiang Feng felt a chill in his limbs.
He quickly grabbed the side of the fishing boat, and Shen Feifei hurried to pull him aboard.
"Whew! It’s quite cold."
Jiang Feng remarked casually.
Shen Feifei exclaid, "Master, you should rest in the cabin first. The seawater is cold out here, and luckily it’s sunny today; otherwise, you could catch a cold."
Jiang Feng waved him off, "No problem."
Then, he leaned against the side of the boat, looking into the Humpback Whale’s eyes.
The Humpback Whale’s eyes were large, also gazing directly at Jiang Feng.
"Look at its eyes; it’s very happy."
"Whales have rich emotions. Killer Whales, Humpback Whales, Blue Whales, their eyes all express emotion."
Jiang Feng remarked, smiling at the whale’s expression.
Shen Feifei was montarily stunned, then looked out to the sea as well.
Sure enough, as Jiang Feng said, there was joy and excitent in that big eye.
The Humpback Whale moved away slowly from the side of the boat.
It followed the fishing boat, and about fifteen ters away, it suddenly leapt up!
It breached the surface, flipped in the air, flapped its tail, and then splashed down again.
Wow!
A huge white splash was stirred up.
The scene was extrely spectacular.
It was performing for humans.
Then, the Humpback Whale jumped again and landed.
Jiang Feng laughed, "Humpback Whales seem to know humans love watching this, because each ti they leap, everyone around would exclaim in awe."
"It’s saying thanks!"
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the live-stream comnts filled up densely with a single word:
Wow!
The Humpback Whale leapt out of the water.
Such a scene was indeed worthy of awe.
