The speedboats in front of the whaling ship were not only trying to block it; they were also deliberately positioning themselves in front of the whale, blocking the whaling harpoon's line of attack.
At least for the moment, their actions had achieved some effect.
Because their speedboats had remained behind the whale, if the gunner on the whaling ship fired rashly, he could very well hit their boats by accident and cause casualties.
Although they did not care whether these Ocean Guardian Association members lived or died, if they were killed by their harpoon gun, they would still have to bear legal responsibility.
Thus, wary of consequences, the whaling gunner was unable to pull the trigger for a long time.
However, they clearly had not given up. They continued to pursue the whale closely, waiting for an opportunity.
That opportunity appeared very soon!
Whales were mammals, not fish. They could not obtain oxygen from seawater. This whale had already stayed underwater for quite some time, and it finally could not resist surfacing to breathe.
The enormous, indistinct shadow beneath the water rose rapidly toward the surface. Along with a thick column of water more than ten meters high shooting into the sky, the whale being pursued by the whaling ship finally revealed its full form.
It was a massive blue whale, nearly thirty meters long, only slightly smaller than the whaling ship chasing behind it. Its blue-gray back was sleek and flat, while a sharply defined ridge-like protrusion ran from its upper lip all the way to its blowhole. Its entire body was long and streamlined, cutting through the waves like a majestic warship!
Although Chen Mo had seen all sorts of gigantic alien creatures, he could not help but marvel when he saw this enormous creature of Earth.
