Chapter 978 There’s Shark (1/2)
Li Du was treading water quickly on both feet, keeping his body roughly afloat.
Ah Meow could swim, although he didn't like the water after falling in. He flopped his
four paws in disgust but swam decently.
Ah Ow pounded from the back, jumping out of the water like a dolphin.
Ah Meow was looking up and saw with horror a dark cloud over his head. Then, the
cloud crashed on him!
Crash!
With a muffled sound and a big splash, Ah Ow landed on Ah Meow.
Ah Ow was still floating on the surface, happily swimming like a dog, but Ah Meow was
far from happy!
On the deck, Ali took a gulp of water and was amused to see this: Ah Ow, this stupid
wolf, wasn't aiming, and could crash into anyone.
A few seconds later, Ah Meow emerged from the water, struggling to keep his head
above the surface and opening his mouth to cough.
An interesting detail about tiger cats was that they coughed by spitting rather than
hacking.
After coughing up the water clogging his mouth and nose, Ah Meow glared angrily at Ah
Ow and called loudly at the top of his lungs: ”Meow!”
Ah Ow saw Ah Meow appear and swam as fast as possible, trying to catch up with the
tiger.
Frightened, Ah Meow moved his legs and desperately swam towards the boat. He used
his tail as well, swinging it from side to side like a small oar.
Ah Meow was struggling for his life. Ah Ow tried hard to chase him, but she just wanted
to play, Both swam as hard as they could, but with different speeds.
When Ah Ow caught up with the yacht, Ah Meow finally took the first step to climb up
the escalator. He rushed up the escalator, visibly relieved.
Just as he was about to leap into the boat, Ali jumped forward, his tail aiding his hind
legs, and landed on Ah Meow.
Go ahead, Ali. That's a powerful foot!
”Meow!” His tail sticking out, Ah Meow's body streaked a parabola through the air and
fell back into the sea.
Ah Ow was so unhappy to have missed Ah Meow that she tried to catch him. Just as he
emerged from the water, she clapped her paws again!
Seeing Ah Meow punished, Li Du was satisfied. Knowing that Ah Meow could swim very
well, he didn't have to worry about him, so he put on goggles and dived into the water.
The water here was so clear that sunlight penetrated to the bottom of the sea.
According to general information, sunlight could penetrate seawater up to the depth of
1000 meters, but in most cases, at the depth of ten or twenty meters, the underwater
world was already dark.
Because the sea of Nemo was clear, the sea floor twenty meters below was still very
bright, with patches of coral groups growing underwater in the life-giving sunshine
comfort.
There were many kinds of fish underwater. Li Du was not sure about their species.
If there was a shoal of fish, they would probably be sardines.
The deeper one went it, the more shoals of sardines one could see. Li Du was close to
the edge of the shark net, where the water was deepest and the shoals of sardines
were the largest.
He saw Sophie holding an underwater camera and motioning to take a picture of
herself. He wanted to get into the sardine shoal and take a picture of underwater life.
Sardines were vigilant. They were at the bottom of the ocean food chain. Almost all
meat eaters, including fish and other sea animals, preyed on them.
