People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Just as Chen Ziyan and others were wondering what kind of medicine Ruan Hei used to make the old clam ready to be slaughtered in an instant.

Ruan Hei, the person involved, stood there in a daze, staring at the scene inside the clam shell in front of him, his eyes full of hesitation.

Seeing that Ruan Hei was slow to act, Chen Ziyan immediately realized something was wrong: "Master Ruan, is there a problem?"

While speaking, he did not forget to look inside the clam shell, but he did not know much about this area and could not see anything.

"This is a blood giant clam." Ruan Hei said, pointing at the inner shell of the old clam.

"Blood giant clam? I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Wang Kaixuan said thoughtfully when he heard the word.

But before he could remember, Hu Bayi gave the answer: "It was last time at Da Jin Ya's place, when he was showing off his giant clam beads."

"Yes, yes, that grandson of Big Gold Teeth said so!" Wang Kaixuan also remembered after being reminded by him. Then he looked at the clam with shining eyes: "I remember Big Gold Teeth said that this blood clam is very valuable."

After hearing their words, Chen Ziyan also understood what the blood giant clam was.

Although he didn't know much about this, he knew that this was not the reason for Ruan Hei's hesitation, so he asked:
"Master Ruan, do you fishermen have any taboos about blood clams?"

"Boss Chen... this blood clam in front of us is alive!" Ruan Hei shook it and then said in an inexplicable tone.

"Alive?" Chen Ziyan was puzzled, and looked at Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Hiss, it's really not right." Hu Bayi seemed to have thought of something and explained to Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, blood clam is not a specific species of giant clam, but a jade-like giant clam shell. The so-called 'blood color' is formed by minerals penetrating the texture during the thousands of years of burial on the seabed."

In short, something like blood giant clam can only be formed after the giant clam dies and is buried for a long time.

And the old clam that now appeared in front of them was actually a living blood clam, which was naturally something very wrong.

No wonder Ruan Hei didn't dare to continue.

People like him who make a living by water care a lot about this kind of thing.

"A live giant clam has turned into jade?" After Chen Ziyan understood what was going on, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​killing the old clam: "Master Ruan, if we don't move the clam, can we take out the pearl from its body?"

Blood clams are indeed valuable, but he has already achieved financial freedom and is not interested in this kind of thing, so there is no need to make things more complicated.

He didn't forget that it was you who brought this old clam to his door, and if things go wrong, there might be something to talk about.

Don't deceive the mountains or the water. There are countless mysterious and unspeakable things in the sea, and he still has a sense of awe about them.

Hearing this, Ruan Hei nodded quickly: "Yes, it will take a little more time."

He actually wanted to suggest this just now, but as an old sea wolf, he knew the value of blood giant clams, so he could only remain silent.

But now that Chen Ziyan has taken the initiative to bring it up, he will naturally not avoid suspicion anymore.

Perhaps fearing that Chen Ziyan and the others would go back on their word, Ruan Hei continued, "Don't worry, bosses. Even the clam shell is so extraordinary. There must be some rare treasures in the clam meat."

"That's great." Chen Ziyan nodded with a smile.

He could see Ruan Hei's intention, but he didn't expose it.

After getting the result he wanted, Ruan Hei continued. After handing the Dragon Arc Knife to Gu Cai, he placed his hands on the clam meat and began to rub it in a strange rhythm.

After about a few minutes, the clam meat, which was originally trembling slightly, began to wriggle, and soon a monster-like thing emerged from the clam meat.

Even though they had seen many rare treasures in the ancient tomb, Chen Ziyan and the others couldn't help but feel emotional when they saw this thing appear before their eyes.

I saw a jade sculpture as big as a child appearing on the crystal clam meat.

This jade carving of a human head and a fish body is lustrous and colorful. The fins on both sides are shaped like human hands, while the scales on the fish body are a brilliant and dazzling gold. In the mouth of the human head that resembles a woman, there is a bright pearl that reflects light.

What are deep-sea treasures? This is right before your eyes!

"Is this a mermaid?" Wang Kaixuan was stunned when he saw it and asked subconsciously.

"No, it should be a mermaid." Bai Er answered him. He stared at the jade carving in front of him and said, "Legend has it that when the moon is full, the clams and snails in the sea absorb the essence of the moon. At this time, the pearls in their bodies will be exposed. The aquatic creatures in the sea will take the opportunity to 'seize the elixir'. Among them, the mysterious mermaids are the most likely to do so. However, this kind of thing will not succeed every time. There will be failures. The failed mermaids will be devoured and become nutrients for the clams and snails."

"But there are always surprises. There is a special situation where the mermaid will not be swallowed directly. That is when the elixir is successfully seized but the mermaid is trapped. In this case, the old clam and giant snail will be reluctant to part with the spiritual pearl and will leave the mermaid's body behind. As a result, it becomes a magical situation of 'the clam holds the fish, and the fish holds the pearl'."

"What's even more amazing is that only South China Pearl can do this, so this special treasure is rarely seen in a thousand years."

Maybe he was too emotional, so Bai Er just told everything he knew.

"I'm afraid this situation is not only found in the South China Sea." Hu Bayi suddenly asked.

"That's right." Bai Er nodded: "After all, only here can we find the 'Rejuvenating Pearl'."

Hearing the word "rejuvenating beads", Chen Ziyan immediately understood the mystery.

He didn't know the story about the clams and the mermaids, but the anti-aging beads were within his area of ​​expertise.

The Rejuvenating Pearls are actually the South Pearls produced in the South China Sea. However, this kind of pearl can make the corpse immortal, so it was called the Rejuvenating Pearls in ancient times.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why South Pearls were so valuable in ancient times.

Then Chen Ziyan turned his gaze back to the things in front of him, and a thoughtful look gradually emerged in his eyes.

He remembered very clearly that in the original plot, similar things also appeared in the body of the old clam that Hu Bayi and his friends fished out from the bottom of the sea.

Now they have encountered the same situation, and the old clam came to their door on his own initiative. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a coincidence.

Thinking back to the original plot, the old clam was not slaughtered after the treasure in its body was taken out, but was released back into the sea under the persuasion of Shirley Yang.

Chen Ziyan had a vague idea, but there was still a little bit missing and he couldn't connect the pieces together.

But at this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly said: "Why don't we put this giant clam back into the sea."

This made Chen Ziyan immediately turn his head to look at her and asked directly: "Why do you think so?"

He had a feeling that the key to solving his puzzle might lie with Shirley Yang. (End of this chapter)
