Oh no! I've been kept as a pet by a stray killer whale!

Chapter 27 That's a forbidden zone! There are man-eating monsters there!

His thought was: go quickly and come back quickly, try to get the water back before they wake up.

However, he clearly underestimated the alertness of wild animals, and even more so, the level of attention these "parents" paid to him.

Just as Jiang Che's figure disappeared into the shadows at the edge of the woods, with only one heel showing,

On the sea, the huge figure that had been sleeping the most soundly—Big Fatty—suddenly opened its eyes.

It didn't move immediately, but subconsciously glanced at the shore.

That was its habitual action, just like the first thing human parents do after waking up is to check if their baby is still in the cradle.

The beach was completely empty.

There was no one under that simple, single-slope wooden hut.

There was no one under the coconut tree.

Big Fatty's sleepy eyes focused instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"puff--!!!"

A sharp, piercing hiss shattered the morning's tranquility.

Immediately afterward, the giant fat man swung his massive body violently, his tail fin slamming heavily against the water's surface with a thunderous roar: "Holy crap!!!!"

That shout startled the little monster who was still dreaming of eating squid, causing it to jump out of the water.

Where are they?!

The fat man's roar echoed throughout the bay: "Where are my pets?! Where did that whole bunch of pets go?! How did they disappear in the blink of an eye?!"

The entire orca family woke up instantly.

They swam frantically in the shallow water, their ten eyes scanning every inch of the shore like radar.

"It's gone! It's really gone!" The whining child spun around frantically. "Was it swept away by the waves? Or buried in the sand?"

"Impossible!" the old woman said in a deep voice. "There was no high tide and no wind just now. He must still be on the island."

Just then, the sharp-eyed orca let out a scream: "There it is! Look! In that clump of green fur!"

The whales looked in the direction it indicated.

Through the gaps in the sparse leaves, they could vaguely see Jiang Che's red windbreaker silhouette as he walked step by step into the unfathomable depths of the jungle.

Jiang Che viewed this scene as an "adventure".

But in the eyes of the orca, this is practically "suicide"!

For marine life, land itself is a forbidden zone, and that dense, dark jungle is, in their minds, a "monster's lair" and an "abyss of death."

There is no water there, no buoyancy, and it will swallow anything that goes in, leaving not even bones!

"return!!!"

Big Fatty got anxious. He really got anxious.

Ignoring the risk of running aground, it frantically charged toward the shore, half its body above the water, its pectoral fins pounding the beach, stirring up clouds of sand and water.

"Don't go! You silly child!"

"That's a forbidden zone! There are man-eating monsters there!"

"Are you running away from home? Are you angry because your older brother didn't cover you with a blanket last night? Don't do anything rash!"

The orca pod was in complete chaos.

The cacophony of whale calls, the roar of its tail slapping the water, and the heart-wrenching cries that filled my mind, all mixed together, were even more terrifying than yesterday's storm.

Jiang Che, who had just cut a vine at the edge of the woods, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He felt his head buzzing.

The high-decibel brainwaves, filled with extreme panic, were translated by the system as sounding like a thousand ducks holding a rock concert in his head.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Che turned around, looking completely bewildered.

Through the gaps in the leaves, he witnessed a breathtaking scene on the beach—

Five killer whales were crashing against the beach like madmen. Especially the big one, which had almost completely rushed onto the shallows, its mouth wide open, letting out a piercing scream towards the woods.

That look in his eyes.

Jiang Che will never forget it in his life.

It was despair, fear, and the anxiety of wanting to rush up and pull him back but being powerless to do so.

The viewers in the live stream were also startled.

[Holy crap! What's wrong with the orca? This reaction is terrifying!]

Are they calling for the streamer? It sounds so pathetic.

[It feels like the streamer is going to abandon them —]

[Big Fatty is almost ashore! Doesn't it care about its own life? Announcer, you need to go back and check on it!]

Jiang Che's heart skipped a beat.

He had thought it was just a temporary separation, but in the eyes of these simple-minded creatures, his entering the woods meant "disappearance" and "death."

"Damn it, I really do have to ask them for leave."

Jiang Che cursed himself under his breath, then turned and ran back without bothering to find a water source.

He stumbled out of the woods, ran across the beach, and stopped when the water was up to his knees.

"I'm here!!"

Jiang Che, panting heavily, waved his hands at the group of frantic creatures: "Stop yelling! I didn't run away! I'm perfectly fine!"

Upon seeing the red figure reappear in their field of vision, the previously raging orca pod instantly froze.

All the slapping, screaming, and colliding stopped abruptly in that second.

The fat man remained in that position, half of his body stranded on the beach, his eyes fixed on Jiang Che.

After a few seconds of deathly silence.

"call"

Big Fatty spat out a mouthful of water vapor mixed with white foam.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming sense of grievance and lingering fear transformed into an angry roar: "You little bastard!!"

"Where have you been?! Huh?! What were you doing crawling into that dark hole?!"

"Do you know how dangerous that place is? Do you know I was terrified just now?!"

"Don't you want your older brother anymore? Are you trying to run away?!"

Faced with this barrage of questions, Jiang Che felt both heartbroken and amused.

He had to explain himself clearly. Otherwise, given Fatty's personality, he'd probably have to be watched even when going to the toilet, and how would he survive on the island then?

But how do you explain the complex logic of "I need to go to the forest to find fresh water" to a whale?

The language barrier is a major obstacle.

Jiang Che took a deep breath and decided to use the "Primitive Man Communication Method".

He first pointed to himself, then to the lush forest behind him.

"Squeak squeak"

Big Fatty was about to explode again, meaning "You're not allowed to go."

Jiang Che quickly waved his hand, indicating "Don't rush."

He picked up the empty coconut shell in his hand, made a "filling with water" gesture, then tilted his head back and made an extremely exaggerated "glug glug" drinking gesture.

After finishing his drink, he showed a look of enjoyment and patted his stomach.

Then, he pointed to the seawater at his feet, made a scooping motion, brought it to his mouth, and then made gestures of "vomiting," "pain," and "clutching his neck and rolling his eyes."

This mime performance was incredibly expressive and showcased phenomenal acting skills.

The viewers in the live stream were amused.

[Hahaha! Best actor! Absolutely a best actor!]

[This action, though comical, is perfectly logical: seawater is undrinkable, it will kill you; I need to go into the forest to find drinkable water.]

Can orcas understand this? It's a bit abstract.

After Jiang Che finished his performance, he looked at Da Pang nervously.

Big Fatty tilted his enormous head, blinked his small eyes, and fell into deep thought.
