I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

She was already used to waking up at the sound of thunder, no matter when or where. But more than her affairs, the little orca wanted to know about the dragon.

"The old man is so amazing."

It was a ferocious creature whose size was comparable to that of the Sea King leader.

"And these are also very powerful."

Skadi looked at these creatures who regarded her as their companions and sincerely praised their bravery.

"Skadi! Good!"

"Sea fish! Bad!"

Ah chewed on the sweet apple, responding to his companion's praise with a delighted expression.

"Skadi is great!"

Bai Zhou stroked A Yao's big head and continued, "Don't be fooled by their lively appearance; they're actually quite wary. I'm surprised that Skadi got to know them so quickly."

I glanced at the baby killer whale a few times during the day.

The blue clothes and hat, with a color scheme very similar to Ah Yao's.

Add to that her serene demeanor... she was exactly like Ah Yao when she calmed down, no wonder the Ah Yaos mistook her for a lost companion.

But this is good.

The baby orca looks quite happy; it must be enjoying itself.

If this method can dispel her sorrow, it would be a good solution.

After chatting with her for a while, Bai Zhou got up to prepare dinner.

"Those guys might come again tonight, and their attack might be even fiercer. We need to eat well to have the strength to fight."

During the day, he served the little orca a full bowl of seafood rice, and then they enjoyed their first dinner together after meeting.

"The wait can be boring. If you don't plan to take a break, you can come and listen to my story."

"I want to hear the old man's story."

The little orca's full nap during the day almost made her bones melt, so to ensure she was ready to fight immediately, she sat down next to Bai Zhou with her sword, ready to listen to the story.

"Hmm... then I'll tell you a fable."

During the day, I randomly picked a story and told it to her... or more accurately, to the A-Yaos who had gathered there.

The little orca is a mature adult now; she's probably tired of hearing these stories that children like...

Ok……

Watching the little orca listen with increasing enthusiasm.

Bai Zhou intended to retract his earlier statement.

He's a big kid too.

The orca returned home from the 84 bends to be petted.

As the first rays of sunlight fell upon the sea, a torrent of lightning destroyed all the remaining sea creatures.

Gazing at the now calm sea, Bai Zhou touched the free-spirited scales beneath him, and then, with a roar from the free-spirited creature, announced the outcome of the war.

Because the ocean currents that carried their troops were cut off, the Hai Si Fang were left without reinforcements and were directly wiped out in this unfamiliar sea by the Divine Dragon and the Mo Liang army. Their shattered corpses will be swallowed by the sea to nourish the creatures in this sea.

The Mo Liang side suffered relatively light losses, with only a few Mo Liangs missing limbs. However, due to their timely withdrawal, not many Mo Liangs were lost here.

However, according to Xi's explanation, even if some Mo Liang die in the real world, as long as the painting is not destroyed, they will be reborn in the painting. Therefore, while feeling gratified for the Mo Liang who died bravely here, Bai Zhou is not sad, because they will see each other again soon and will praise them properly then.

"Is this all that has come here this time... I see, so it's a desperate fight."

His consciousness, carried by the rivers, extended to the boundary between the river and the sea. Through a brief encounter with the sea, he obtained some information related to the Sea Child.

"Skadi, what do you know about the disappearance of the Sealings?"

During the day, he found the little orca with the other orcas and asked her for some inside information. He was, after all, an earth god; though he had the river as a medium, he could only glean vague information from the chaotic sea. To know more inside information, it was best to ask the insiders.

“It was me, old man.”

Upon hearing that the entire Sea Siege swarm had been wiped out, the little orca was both amazed by the breadth of Bai Zhou's information network and deeply relieved.

Everyone's efforts paid off; the plan was a success.

"You did it?"

"Yeah. When the hunting horn sounded, we rushed over. The captain and everyone else knocked down the enemy to clear a path for me, and I took the opportunity to find that guy and then snapped him to death."

Although it sounds easy, Bai Zhou could guess how fierce the battle must have been when he recalled how pitiful the baby killer whale looked when he first met her.

Bai Zhou glanced at the baby orca, chuckled, and gently patted her head, praising her repeatedly.

"That's great, that's great, that's great."

"Oh...Grandpa...Do you know anything about everyone?"

The baby killer whale shook its head and swayed in response to Bai Zhou's hand gestures, asking him about its companions.

"I'm sorry, Skadi. You're the only one I could find."

Although Bai Zhou didn't say much, the hunter already understood the meaning behind those words.

Her companions are probably already dead.

"I see..."

Although news of the victory arrived, only he himself knew of it, and the sorrow of not being able to share his joy...

Skadi looked out at the sea, overwhelmed with sorrow and fear.

The baby killer whale longs for its homeland.

"Although we can't find them for the time being, those Sea Hells have already lost their ability to fight, right? They may have already escaped, just in a different direction from Skadi. Perhaps they will come looking for Skadi after they have rested for a while."

He comforted the baby orca during the day and then asked her about her plans for the future.

What does Skadi plan to do in the future?

"..."

The baby killer whale shook its head.

She was new here and didn't even know what food was available when she was hungry, let alone have any plans for the future... Wait, there's still one.

"I want to go find everyone."

Now that they are separated, they could appear anywhere on land.

Find any companions you can find, then go home.

"Hmm...it's a good long-term plan, but I think it's too much trouble."

Daylight explained to the puzzled little orca, "Skadi wants to travel the world to find her lost companions, which is wonderful. But there are also many problems."

“Whether it’s Skadi’s food, clothing, shelter, or traveling to various countries to find people, it all requires a lot of money.”

"Although there are professions like bounty hunters that allow you to make quick money, Skadi is unfamiliar with the area and might be deceived by people with ill intentions."

Looking at the somewhat naive girl, Bai Zhou always felt that those cunning middlemen could use various contracts to make the girl work for them for free.

"Grandpa, I'm not afraid."

The girl clenched her fist, raised her arm, and demonstrated her strength to the daytime.

Skadi - I'm awesome.jpg

"It's not a matter of being afraid or not, it's about how unpredictable people are..."

He shook his head halfway through his sentence.

I almost went off-topic.

"Has Skadi considered the possibility that they might go there right after you left?"

"without……"

"Right, continuing like this is not only a waste of time, but we may also miss the opportunity to meet at any time."

"Hmm... then what should I do, sir?"

The baby killer whale focused intently and pondered deeply.

The baby killer whale gave up thinking.

She wasn't the type of hunter who relied on strategy, so since her plan to proceed step by step had failed, she decided to seek help from someone who was good at thinking.

Bai Zhou smiled and offered the little orca a suggestion.

"Skadi might as well stay in Great Yan for now."

"Stay here?"

"Yes."

Bai Zhou added, "As a vital force of Agor, Skadi should know that Great Yan and Agor have trade relations, right?"

"..."

The baby orca tilted its head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Yes, I have seen silk clothes in Agor. Those beautiful clothes were originally from the old man's place."

“The deal between Da Yan and Agor involves more than just this. But we can talk to Skadi about these things later when we have time.”

Bai Zhou continued:

"Because of the cooperative relationship, Da Yan can also help its neighbors find their citizens."

"As the saying goes, many hands make light work. If more people search, perhaps some will see the message, and then they can come directly to Da Yan to join us."

"Both the efficiency of finding people and the scope of the search are greater than that of Skadi alone."

"Skadi can also take this time to rest and recuperate, so that she can greet her companions in the best possible condition."

"..."

The baby killer whale was tempted.
