As the most sensitive creature in the ocean in terms of smell, sharks are hundreds of times more sensitive to blood than dogs on land.
Therefore, even though the injured humpback whale had already been taken far away by its parents, they could not escape Li You's tracking range.
So, soon Li You, along with his followers, chased in the direction of the bloody smell.
However, by the time they arrived, the three humpback whales were already in trouble.
Surrounded by a large number of sharks drawn by the smell of blood, the three humpback whales were tightly encircled.
And blood was continuously seeping from the wound of the injured young humpback whale.
At this rate, they would attract even more sharks.
Then, even with their parents protecting them, they would likely not escape death.
Not only the young one, but even its parents might perish.
Looking at the dense school of sharks in the sea ahead, Yang Lin's brow furrowed for a moment before immediately relaxing.
If they had encountered orcas, it might have been troublesome, but encountering sharks made things simpler.
Especially since most of the sharks in this school were tiger sharks.
"Li You, take your followers and teach these newcomers some manners!"
Upon hearing Yang Lin's command, Li You immediately led his eight tiger shark followers and swam aggressively towards the school of sharks.
Any shark they encountered along the way received a couple of slaps.
With its massive body of over eight meters, Li You was like a leader among the sharks.
Even a great white shark could not defeat it now, let alone the smaller sharks of other species.
Before long, the group of sharks that were looking to scavenge left dejectedly.
It was a joke; fighting for food with such a fierce group of tiger sharks might even turn them into food.
Tiger sharks were known to try everything.
Other tiger sharks might be fine, but if the leader, the big one, took a bite, they would be gone on the spot.
After the sharks loitering around dispersed, only a group of tiger sharks remained, circling the three humpback whales with predatory eyes.
There were more than ten of them.
Perhaps relying on their numbers, this group of tiger sharks completely disregarded Li You and the other outsider sharks.
This behavior instantly enraged Li You.
"Damn it, don't these guys give me any face?"
"The boss is watching me. You dogs, get out of my way."
As he spoke, Li You quickly swam towards one of the strongest tiger sharks.
The strongest was only relative to ordinary tiger sharks, with a length of just over six meters.
In front of the more than eight-meter-long Li You, it was still a little guy.
Perhaps sensing Li You's hostility, this tiger shark bravely swam towards him.
In their clan, there was no such thing as fear, even when facing creatures larger than themselves.
However, as the six-meter-long female tiger shark swam towards Li You, Li You directly turned and lashed out with its powerful tail.
It was clear that it had learned this move, the "Dragon Tail Sweep," from observing the orcas earlier.
And in fact, the move was very effective.
Its powerful tail instantly struck the approaching tiger shark.
More than ten bloody, serrated teeth flew out on the spot.
The shark's body was sent flying more than ten meters, almost flipping over.
This showed the immense power of Li You's Dragon Tail Sweep.
An ordinary tiger shark might have been finished then and there.
The other tiger sharks were dumbfounded at the sight.
After all, their leader had been instantly defeated by another giant tiger shark using a familiar move. How could they not be stunned?
While they were still stunned, that behemoth swam towards them.
And upon approaching, without a word, it gave each of them a push.
The force was not great, but the deterrent effect was immense.
"Join us, or I'll eat you!"
Considering that these tiger sharks were not very intelligent, Li You simply uttered this simple sentence.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of tiger sharks followed him without a word.
Thus, Li You's clan expanded once again.
If marine scholars were to witness this scene, they might be terrified.
When had they ever seen dozens of tiger sharks acting together?
It was no exaggeration to say that when the tiger shark population reached such a scale, there were no rivals in the entire ocean.
Even a blue whale would be nothing more than a larger meal in front of them.
And after Li You subdued this group of tiger sharks, the three humpback whales, which had been cautious and agitated, suddenly quieted down.
Soon, the two healthy humpback whales let out whale songs, clearly expressing gratitude.
Yang Lin, seeing this scene through his shared ability, couldn't help but marvel.
"As expected of intelligent mammals, they quickly realized Li You was protecting them."
"And they even have their own system of language."
"But the young humpback whale's injury seems too severe. If this continues, it might not survive."
Yang Lin's expression darkened as he inadvertently glanced at the young humpback whale's wound.
The giant harpoon fired from the whaling gun had already reached close to its internal organs.
Combined with the damage caused by pulling out the barbs, even with Li You protecting it, it would be difficult to recover through self-healing.
Perhaps sensing this, the humpback whale couple let out mournful cries.
As intelligent mammals, their emotions were almost human.
Thinking of the grief they were about to experience from losing their child, Yang Lin sighed deeply.
"Alas! Who told me to be soft-hearted."
As he spoke, he issued another command to Li You.
"Li You, you and Li Yongxin must escort these three humpback whales north immediately."
"I will meet you there when you arrive."
As soon as the command was issued, Li You immediately stepped forward to communicate with the humpback whale couple.
Before long, a spectacular scene unfolded in the sea.
More than twenty tiger sharks led the way, followed closely by three massive humpback whales, resembling a small fleet.
Meanwhile, Yang Lin took advantage of the darkness and headed towards a nearby construction site.
