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

Just release the old clam so casually?
Then what is the meaning of what they just did?
Although it didn't take much effort, it was still a waste of time!

Not only Wang Kaixuan had doubts in his heart, but everyone else did the same. They all looked at Chen Ziyan with confusion in their eyes.

"Finish the work first, and I will give you an explanation later." Chen Ziyan understood everyone's feelings at the moment very well, but he did not answer their questions on the spot, but said this.

Since he said so, the others couldn't hold on to it any longer, so they just stepped forward and worked together to release the old clam back into the sea.

Perhaps because the bottom had just been exposed, the old clam quickly disappeared into the water at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye as soon as it came into contact with the sea water.

This scene stunned everyone else present.

"Is this...reasonable?"

Even Chen Wenjin, who had remained silent, could no longer hold back and subconsciously looked at Huo Ling beside him and asked.

"It's unreasonable..." Huo Ling murmured subconsciously.

Her words were both a response to Chen Wenjin and a response to the doubts in her own mind.

Even though they had not studied it in detail, they had a general idea of ​​the speed at which objects sink into water.

Even though the old clam was heavy, it shouldn't have sunk so quickly.

"Mr. Chen, do you know what's going on?" Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan again.

Through previous events, he could clearly feel that Chen Ziyan seemed to know a lot of inside information.

If we were to ask who among the people present could help answer this question, it would definitely be him.

"Do you remember how this old clam was caught?" Chen Ziyan did not give a direct answer, but instead asked this question.

“Didn’t I just say that this thing floated to the surface of the sea on its own and circled around the boat before being caught?” Wang Kaixuan scratched his head.

He always remembers things like this very clearly.

"What was your first reaction after discovering that this old clam was a living blood giant clam?" Chen Ziyan asked again.

But this time he didn't wait for others to answer, and continued on his own:
"Are you shocked? Subconsciously you feel something is wrong, but you can't find a clue for the moment?"

"Eh?" Wang Kaixuan said in surprise: "I didn't think so before, but now that you said it, Master Chen, it seems to be true."

Shirley Yang also said, "That's true, but my attention was focused on other things at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it."

After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Ziyan asked meaningfully, "Have you ever thought that since the old clam appeared inexplicably, isn't it normal for it to be a little bit magical?"

"what?"

The people around were stunned again.

Yes, since the appearance of this old clam is very strange, isn’t it normal for it to be special?

Then why were they just shocked instead of thinking in this direction?
A series of questions appeared in everyone's mind, making it difficult for them to understand their own thoughts at the time.

After a moment, Hu Bayi was the first to come back to his senses. He suddenly said, "It seems that we have been tricked without knowing it!"

Some things are actually very easy to understand after being pointed out.

To describe their situation just now in a popular way, they were trapped in a maze where one leaf blinded them.

While thinking about this clearly, Hu Bayi also understood why Chen Ziyan had behaved just now.

Needless to say, the culprit that caused them to fall into this situation was undoubtedly the old clam that had just escaped into the sea.

"That's right, this is the answer to all the doubts in your mind." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly and said.

In fact, at the beginning, he was also quietly deceived by the old clam.

However, compared to others, Chen Ziyan's resistance to alien conditions is extremely high.

If it was fog in front of other people's eyes, then what he saw was just a thin layer of smoke, which could not even hinder his basic vision and could only provide slight guidance.

This was also the main reason why he immediately wanted to figure out what was going on after discovering that Shirley Yang was a little abnormal.

Based on Chen Ziyan's understanding of Shirley Yang, she is a very principled person. Although she is kind-hearted, she is not the kind of saintly bitch who doesn't care about anything.

In other words, even if Shirley Yang didn't like some things, as long as they were allowed by the rules, she would choose to respect them. However, her pleading for the old clam was a bit abnormal.

After all, even if Shirley Yang was in a position of mercy for a creature like the old clam, she would not allow her to beg for mercy because it was against her principles.

It was this seemingly insignificant detail that became the key for Chen Ziyan to break through the mystery.

As the two talked, the others gradually understood what was going on.

Wang Kaixuan said angrily, "Master Chen, you shouldn't have let that clam monster go. If it dares to play this kind of trick on me, you should just kill it!"

You can tell from his expression that he really wants to kill. If the old clam was still on the boat, he would probably have rushed over with a knife in hand.

"Don't forget, we are still at sea."

Chen Ziyan had also thought about completely resolving this potential hidden danger.

But after he calmed down a little and thought about it, he decisively gave up the idea.

Because Chen Ziyan knew very well that the old clam that seemed to be at the mercy of others had an unrevealed ability, which was the ability to attract all kinds of powerful whales, salamanders, and ichthyosaurs in the sea.

Even those slightly older clams can do this, so he couldn't imagine that this thousand-year-old clam would not be able to do it.

If it really reaches the point of death, no one can guarantee the extent of the old clam's final counterattack.

You have to know that this is a coral spiral, one of the most dangerous places in the entire South China Sea. If the creatures hidden in the seabed are really lured out, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Anyway, they were not hurt, and instead they got a rare deep-sea treasure for free, so Chen Ziyan felt that there was no need to stir up trouble anymore, and simply let things return to their original track temporarily.

After all, he is not the kind of person who would insist on doing the opposite.

"Master Chen, there is nothing wrong with what you did." Hu Bayi heard the implicit meaning in his words and immediately expressed his agreement.

He was not like Chen Ziyan, who knew so many inside stories, but he saw the scene of the old clam disappearing just now.

For a veteran like Hu Bayi, this alone is enough to show him many tricks.

Naturally, it is conceivable that if they were determined to take the old clam's life, the result would be really unpredictable and would cause unnecessary trouble.

Then everyone returned to the cabin while chatting.

In order to divert other people's attention, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan began to tell those who had not gone into the water about their wonderful experiences under the sea.

Chen Ziyan did not participate in it. He took Shirley Yang to his room, found paper and pen and started drawing quickly.

He planned to copy the rune murals he saw on the seabed onto paper as soon as possible while his memory was still clear enough.

Although his memory was enhanced after acquiring new skills as he expected, Chen Ziyan was still used to being cautious, so it was better to finish the task first.

Shirley Yang stayed with Chen Ziyan, helping him while also watching what he drew.

After looking at one of the paintings, she couldn't help but sigh: "This is the ancient monument you found on the seabed. It turns out to be such an ancient text."

"Ok?"

At first, Chen Ziyan just responded out of habit, but then he realized something was wrong and suddenly turned to look at Shirley Yang:
"Shirley, do you recognize these symbols? Are they words?"

He really didn't expect to hear these words from Shirley Yang.

As soon as he saw these symbols on the seabed, Chen Ziyan searched for them in his own inheritance, but found no trace at all.

Because of this, he subconsciously thought that other people didn't know him either.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziyan was so surprised after hearing what Shirley Yang said.

"I guess so, but I can only recognize part of it. I can't guarantee the accuracy of the translation." Shirley Yang replied hesitantly.

Although she had seen relevant descriptions in the ancient books left by her grandfather, the text was too old, so she was not sure.

"That's enough!" Chen Ziyan would not mind that she knew few people.

Compared to being completely in the dark, it is good enough to have a clue, so why would you be picky? (End of this chapter)
