The main reason Chen Ming was so certain this Spirit Beast was none of the Deep Sea Demon Whales that appeared in the original story was that the thing had an enormous male reproductive organ.
Individual Deep Sea Demon Whales were far stronger than Evil Spirit Orcas, but their reproductive capacity was abysmal. Only three members of their entire species were explicitly known to remain: the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the Demon Empress, and their daughter, Lan Fozi. Clearly, there was no hundred-thousand-year male Deep Sea Demon Whale among them.
This pod of Evil Spirit Orcas had enough strength to overwhelm the Giant Whale. At the very least, their hundred-thousand-year leader was no weaker than the Giant Whale in individual combat. Working together, they would have little trouble killing it even in a head-on fight.
But the Evil Spirit Orcas clearly cared more about their own condition and that of their podmates than the hunt itself. They cunningly attacked the Giant Whale again and again, never seeking to inflict the greatest possible damage. Instead, they steadily weakened it through repeated bloodletting and assaults.
Not a single Evil Spirit Orca had been injured by the Giant Whale Spirit Beast's counterattacks. Each had merely expended some Soul Power. The massive whale kept bleeding as its flesh was sliced away piece by piece.
The Blood Demon Orcas fought with ruthless efficiency, yet there was something pleasing to the eye about it. By Chen Ming's estimate, if this continued, not a single Evil Spirit Orca would be injured, let alone killed, even by the end. The Giant Whale, meanwhile, would be sliced to death bit by bit and become food in their mouths.
"Should I steal the kill?" Although Chen Ming spoke as though he was still debating whether to intervene, he simply
