Black whiskers stood like a massive wall, forming a barrier between him and the source of the voices.
Muffled voices came again from beyond the whiskers.
"I'm still extracting, so please keep quiet. Analyzing the concentration of black whale blood is a task that requires extreme patience and specialization,"
"Understood, understood."
"No worries, take your time, our best ship's doctor. We have all the time in the world since we have to wait here for our prey to take the bait,"
Chen Qi pricked up his ears, trying his utmost to analyze the voices.
Two men and one woman.
The woman's voice was somewhat dispirited, the men's voices were one older and raspy, and the other had a magnetic baritone quality.
These two voices took him back to a ship being battered by pouring rain.
The Black Whale Group's Sawshark's little raven, and the Black-eyed Captain.
Why were they here? What were they doing here?
A multitude of questions sprang up in Chen Qi's mind.
