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

If he remembered correctly, in the original plot, it was because of Shirley Yang that the old clam successfully escaped.

Two "coincidences" occurred in succession. Chen Ziyan would definitely not believe it if there was no secret.

But Lao Bang certainly couldn't give an answer, so the only breakthrough point left was Shirley Yang.

Shirley Yang was also surprised by Chen Ziyan's reaction, but she still honestly expressed her thoughts:

"I think this creature is at least a thousand years old. It's not easy for it to live for so many years. Anyway, we have taken the treasures from its body and we don't need its shell. Why not just let it go? We are not short of money now, so we don't want to ruin any good fortune."

Shirley Yang didn't know what Chen Ziyan was thinking. She thought he wanted her to make her words clear so that others could understand his thoughts.

After all, to be honest, they have already paid their respects to the fisherman, so they can do whatever they want with the old clam.

Wang Kaixuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hu Bayi. He then agreed, "I think Miss Yang is right. We have gained a lot on this trip. We should leave some room for improvement so as not to overdo it."

Even though it is a precious blood clam, it is actually just that, so there is no need to make a fuss about it.

If there wasn't the jade carving of a mermaid holding a pearl in front of me, there would be nothing wrong with arguing about it, but now that I have this rare treasure, there is no need to worry too much about other petty gains.

And it's not just Shirley Yang who has this idea. Hu Bayi had already seen it, and Ruan Hei probably had similar thoughts.

It's just that because I am insignificant and my words don't count, I didn't bring it up rashly.

Now that Shirley Yang is leading the way, he's probably also tempted to do something, so why not solve it all at once?

After finishing speaking, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan, who had been staring at Lao Bang in silence since he asked the question.

The meaning was obvious, I wanted to see what he would say.

After all, what to do has to be decided by the team leader Chen Ziyan.

The others also understood this, so they all looked at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan ignored the gazes of the people around him. After staring at the old clam for a while, he suddenly said something inexplicable:
"What will you do if I don't agree?"

disagree?
When they first heard this, everyone subconsciously thought that Chen Ziyan was asking about Shirley Yang.

But then they realized something was wrong, because Chen Ziyan's gaze did not change and was still on the old clam.

It was as if... he was asking this weird old clam.

Everyone present was smart, so they quickly realized this. When this guess came into their minds, they were all shocked and subconsciously took a few steps away from the old clam.

If someone else did this, they would definitely not think too much about it, but when Chen Ziyan did this, it was definitely not without purpose.

Knowing this, the others became alert.

There was no movement, the old clam was still the same as before.

Chen Ziyan was not surprised by this, because he had no real certainty about his own guess.

But he had a feeling in his heart that he was not wrong.

The moment he heard Shirley Yang's answer, the inspiration in Chen Ziyan's mind finally came together.

He thought of the wood slug he had encountered in Zhalong Mountain. Although the old clam and the wood slug were completely different species and lived in different areas, they had one very striking similarity.

That is – age.

The wood lilies encountered in the tomb of King Xian at Zhalong Mountain are plant spirits that have lived for ten thousand years. Although the old clam in front of us may not be ten thousand years old, it is definitely several thousand years old, so it is completely safe to say that they are similar.

Just as Chen Ziyan once analyzed, a plant spirit like the wood lily, which has lived for thousands of years, should have already mastered the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, otherwise it would not have been able to survive until now.

Although the old clam in front of them may not live as long as the wood clam, as an animal it is stronger than plants in this respect, so why would it voluntarily let itself be captured by them?
Although he was not able to witness the scene in person, Chen Ziyan could imagine it with a little imagination. It was probably similar to when they escaped from the tomb of King Xian and happened to "pick up" the wood worm.

But even if others didn't know, Chen Ziyan must have known that, because of his appearance, this expedition to explore the coral spiral had already gone differently from what was arranged in the script.

In the original plot, the scene where the old clam appears is no different from the process where the wood lily appears.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziyan believes that the two are very similar.

With this in mind, it is not difficult to guess what will happen next.

Chen Yulou explained to him at the beginning that the reason why they met Mu Ruo was because the other party needed to overcome a tribulation, which was similar to the so-called asking for a title by the spirit medium.

And now, if we look at this old clam that has come to the door on its own initiative, it is very likely that it has the same purpose.

Although Chen Ziyan had never heard before that creatures in the sea also needed to be conferred titles, he thought about it carefully and found that this did not seem strange.

After all, there are no related rumors, but it doesn’t mean that such a thing does not exist.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziyan asked Lao Bang questions just now.

Of course, he didn't expect the other party to really respond.

So after waiting for a moment, he drew out the dagger he carried with him and pressed the blade against the tender clam meat.

Then he applied a little force with his hand and saw a wound as long as the tip of a finger appear on the clam meat, and then some crystal liquid flowed out of it.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan slowly exerted his strength again, as if he was going to kill him directly.

But just as the dagger in his hand continued to enlarge the wound, the old clam, which was originally like a dead object, suddenly trembled violently and made a series of strange and shrill noises.

Chen Ziyan, who got the response he wanted, finally stopped what he was doing.

"This thing is really weird!" Wang Kaixuan pointed the gun directly at it.

Although he trusted Chen Ziyan very much, he still had some doubts about his behavior just now.

After all, the strange things I encountered before all had some special features, unlike the old clam in front of me, which looked no different from an ordinary giant clam.

Even if Ruan Hei hadn't recognized it as a living blood clam, no one else would have realized it.

"Fatty, put down your gun." Chen Ziyan called out, then took back his dagger and continued, "Everyone, help us, let's send it back to the sea."

"Ah?" Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion, "Master Chen, what are you doing?"

He said he did not understand Chen Ziyan's actions. (End of this chapter)
