Chapter 232: Chapter 184: Coronation of the New King: Orca Knight

Thirteen orcas were gradually encircling him.

As the ocean’s most top-tier predators, their group movements carried a significant oppressive feeling.

Orcas, belonging to the family Delphinidae of the order Cetacea, are the largest members of the dolphin family. They are widely distributed across almost all of the world’s oceans, from equatorial to polar waters.

Adult orcas can weigh up to 6,600 kilograms and measure between 6 and 9 meters in length, although some individuals can exceed this range and reach up to 10 meters.

Even on their own, their combat ability was exceptionally strong but when they acted together, their combined fighting strength was amongst the top in the entire ocean.

They are known as the wolf packs of the sea, with no equal in the areas they pass through.

As commonly known drifters of the sea, orcas have an extremely diverse diet including fish, dolphins, seals, sea lions, whales, octopuses, and even Great White Sharks.

However, their diet does not include humans.

Orcas possess a high intelligence and complex social structures, which enable them to discern that humans are different from their food sources. In most cases, they show curiosity rather than hostility towards humans.

Therefore, even in the present situation, which resembled snatching food from the jaws of a beast,

The 13 orcas that encircled Chen Yun did so with only a light feeling of oppression.

From their demeanor, Chen Yun could detect little hostility.

It seemed they only wished to drive the sneaky Chen Yun away without any rash aggression.

This made Chen Yun, who was prepared to unleash slaughter, feel somewhat embarrassed to make a move.

Speaking of which,

He did indeed have some fault in the situation.

After seeing the orcas finish hunting and sharing the giant squid, he couldn’t resist taking a piece for himself, and this act of stealing the fruits of victory was indeed not very noble.

But in truth, Chen Yun had never seen such a rare creature as a giant squid and couldn’t resist trying the taste of this sea monster.

After all, even though he was unlikely to have an appetite, his sense of taste was still clear and able to discern the finer details of the giant squid’s flavor, so satisfying his curiosity was possible.

Hence, the incident of snatching food from the jaws of death occurred.

Chen Yun, who tasted the giant squid that was no different from an ordinary squid, now faced the 13 approaching orcas head-on.

In the deep and enigmatic ocean depths, where light was almost unable to penetrate, a mysterious and dark world was created. The water here was a profound, ink-blue color that seemed capable of swallowing all light.

In this silent and dark environment, with undercurrents flowing, the thirteen huge orcas broke the tranquility of the deep sea, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

These orcas, each covered in smooth and shiny black skin with white patterns on their backs that were faintly visible in the dim light, appeared like phantoms of the deep sea.

They formed a circle with an almost perfect understanding, slowly approaching Chen Yun, their enormous tail fins gently slapping the water, emitting low and forceful roars that echoed underwater, conveying an authority and strength that could not be ignored.

Despite the scene seeming thrilling, upon closer observation, one could notice that the eyes of these ocean dominators held no malice.

Their gaze revealed a guarded yet curious light, as if they were inspecting an outsider who had inadvertently entered their territory.

The orcas were not displaying an aggressive stance, but rather seemed to be performing a ritual, using their powerful presence to declare their domain while maintaining a subtle distance.

Realizing this, Chen Yun refrained from violently attempting to engage in a fight.

Instead, he quietly retreated to show that he harbored no ill-will.

Such highly intelligent and nonhostile creatures were those Chen Yun often had no desire to kill indiscriminately.

This was not because of moral constraints he placed upon himself.

Nor was it due to the confines of the law.

It was mainly because he was not a person who held life in contempt.

Even though he often felt he no longer operated on the same level as humans and appeared to hold life in disdain,

In reality, he still had a respect for life forms with advanced intelligence.

The existence of advanced intelligence itself is one of the Universe’s greatest miracles, and in some ways, their greatness could perhaps be no less significant than Chen Yun’s Evolution.

If he had no respect, Chen Yun would have long been killing without a second thought.

In fact, Chen Yun, when confronted with non-hostile intelligent beings, would not arbitrarily take their lives unless there was a conflict of interest.

In a certain sense, orcas fell into the category of beings Chen Yun would not slaughter indiscriminately.

Because they were truly smart, possessing sufficient intelligence and self-awareness.

Orcas live in stable social groups, known as pods or communities. Each community has its own cultural traditions and dialect, passing down hunting skills and social norms through generations, which indicates their high capacity for cultural heritage.

Orcas can engage in complex cooperative hunting strategies, such as herding fish into shallow waters for easier capture or jointly taking on large marine animals like seals and whales, demonstrating their superior problem-solving abilities and teamwork.

Orcas use a series of complex sounds to communicate, including clicks, whistles, and calls. These sounds may be used for echolocation, identifying individuals, conveying information or even emotional expression, showcasing the complexity of their language.

Orcas can recognize themselves in mirrors, which is an important sign of self-awareness.
