"Phew, finally dead."
Yue Guanchao and Ge Da limped forward, picked up their scimitars and stabbed a dozen more times. They were sure that the clam was dead and felt a little relieved.
"I'll go, this vomits like Imperial City root stew. What the hell is this thing? The first half looks like a snake, and the second half looks like a river clam."
Yue Guanchao and Ge Da took out the flying tiger claws and dragged the dead clam ashore. Everyone looked at the thing that was dragged ashore, but they couldn't tell what it was.
This thing was looming under the water, and when they caught it on the shore, they were able to see it clearly!
The entire clam shell is slightly larger than a carriage, and is no different from ordinary sea clams and river shells. The shell has complex patterns and is light cyan, and a faint colored light can be seen under the candlelight. After the clam shell is opened, there are snow-white clam meat attached to both sides. The tentacles are mostly concentrated on the mussel's body fat, and the head of the clam can be seen after peeling away the layered black paint skirt.
Everyone looked along the body of the clam towards its tail, staring at each other with wide eyes.
A two to three meter long bucket tail appeared in front of me. The tail looked no different from a python. There were dark blue fish scales on the back and yellow and green python patterns on the abdomen. The overall look was like a giant clam shell holding a thick bucket python. In the water pool, the fishy and unpleasant smell became stronger and stronger, making people unable to stand.
"It's strange, it's strange. Da Yinzun put the snake into the clam shell?"
Yue Guanchao thought of the pig beast and could easily connect it with the ancestors' pig-breeding skills. Song Siyuan also knew nothing about it and sighed: "Who knows, Mrs. Qionghua is connected to her consciousness, which shows that it is indeed a pig beast. We just don’t know what it is.”
Master Cat bravely walked closer to take a closer look, and muttered: "A clam body, a dragon head, antlers, a red mane, and the ability to swallow clouds and cause hallucinations. Could this thing be a mirage?"
"Mirage?"
Song Siyuan's eyes lit up when Master Cat mentioned it, but then her eyes immediately dimmed and she waved her hand to him, "Master Cat, mirage is a legendary creature. Is there really such a thing?"
Mr. Cat nodded, his attitude even more serious than his treasure appraisal: "Song Qianjin, don't underestimate the ancients. "Youyang Zazu", a chronicle of strange things in the Tang Dynasty, once recorded mirages!"
"The divine dragon is sexually promiscuous and likes to have intercourse with the sea people. It intercourses with clams to give birth to mirages. It looks like a snake and is large, with horns like a dragon and a red mane. It has a clam body from the waist down and a tail like a python. It can breathe into a tower and a city. Such a shape can be seen as soon as it rains. It is called a mirage, also called a sea market. Its fat and wax are used as candles, and the fragrance is everywhere, and there is also the shape of an illusion in the smoke."
"Listen, it looks like a snake and is as big as a dragon, with horns like a dragon, red mane, a clam body from the waist down, and a tail like a python. Isn't this what you are seeing?"
Song Siyuan lowered her head to observe the mirage carefully, trying to find out whether it was spliced together, but her efforts were obviously in vain. She stood up and explained to everyone:
"I once listened to foreign lectures. A mirage is just a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction and total reflection of light. Its formation is closely related to weather conditions, meteorological conditions, geographical location, geophysics, etc. It is not this kind of thing. The clouds and mist formed.”
"If this thing is really a mirage, then it is the descendant of a dragon. How could we kill it?"
Song Siyuan's words made everyone tremble. If they really killed Long Zi, it would be a big mistake.
Mr. Cat, on the other hand, disagreed and kept comforting everyone:
"Don't be afraid, everyone. The mirage does exist, but it is not the descendant of the Dragon King. I guess the ancients also saw the mirage occasionally. Seeing that it looked like a hybrid between a clam and a snake, they made up a life story for it. The crocodiles in Lingnan were also called Zhupolongs by the ancients. It can be seen that as long as they are weird-looking snake scale insects, they may be related to real dragons."
"If you want to know whether this thing is a mirage, you only need to open your head and you will understand everything. The mirage can swallow clouds and smoke, all because of the mirage pill."
"Mirage? What is that?"
Everyone was completely intrigued by Master Mao's statement. The old man coughed a few times and continued to explain: "Mirage pill, also called mirage bead in herbal prescriptions, is a bead-like thing in the body of mirage. Take it It can cure nightmares, and if it is burned, you can see the building. If this thing is really a mirage, it must have mirage beads."
"I think we have to dig it out and take a look."
Yue Guanchao picked up the dagger, squatted on the ground and slit the jellyfish's throat. This thing looked like it had a layer of green scales, but upon closer inspection it was not the case. Beyond the green scales, there was a layer of translucent thick skin that waited to be cut open. Only after this film can you see the delicate green scales.
Poof!
As the dagger pierced the neck, all the mucus accumulated in the jellyfish's throat spurted out.
After it was completely drained, Yue Guanchao reached into the jellyfish's throat and kept groping. He caught a round object with his hand, and immediately pulled it out with force, holding it under a flashlight and looking at it carefully.
The round thing is about the size of a red date. It is round and pressed in the hand, with gorgeous etching patterns on the surface. When you shine a flashlight on it, you can see the yellow reflected light, which is like a beeswax ball. If you get closer, you can smell the fishy smell of the sea.
When Master Cat saw the bead, he held it in his hand and lit it with fire. The smoke from the beeswax ball was inhaled by everyone, and they could clearly see pavilions and pavilions floating in the clouds before their eyes.
"Could this really be a mirage?"
