Song Siyuan's words alert the dreamer!
They originally came down to solve the problem of ancient clams harming people, but now that they think about it, they actually went astray and wanted to kill each other. They only felt a little scared. Just a few murals disturbed them. Everything here is really evil.
After finishing speaking, they were afraid of causing trouble again, so they walked out of the tower room and stared at the thousand-year-old clams beside the giant lake!
This ancient clam looked completely different from the corpses of ancient clams they had seen. It was an elliptical shape, convex like a conch, and its surface was covered with countless lines that rotated outward from the tip. Each water pattern was shaped like a ravine, completely covering its body. The body is about the same size as a house, half of the body is exposed out of the lake, and the surface is covered with water plants, like a green snail island beside the huge lake.
Yue Guanchao carefully observed the clam shell. The background color of the clam shell is white. Five-color reflections can be seen under the flashlight. The background color is covered with black and gray mottled lines. At the same time, mysterious patterns are etched on the surface of the shell, which is then filled with gold and solidified. Graphics, moss has grown wildly over thousands of years, and the prophecies on the shell are as clear as new.
On all sides of the island, chains as thick as a bowl extend from the pillars to the water, completely locking the giant clam. Under the constraints of the chains on all sides, it is like an erring god imprisoned in an abyss water prison, unable to break free or call for help. Imprisoned for thousands of years.
"Judging from the ripples in the lake water around the giant clam, this ancient clam has survived to this day. The tentacles we just saw stretched out from the shell. The tentacles were abandoned after the violent explosion. It should be afraid of people coming down. He hurt it and hid in its shell on purpose."
Yue Guanchao looked at the cracks in the shell of the ancient clam, and sure enough he saw water bubbles popping up. He looked at everyone: "I guess the giant shell of the ancient clam can drill holes, and it must be extremely hard. If you want to blow it up, you can only wait for it to explode." The casing is open and we have to see how to open the casing.”
"You definitely won't be able to use gunpowder. This kind of animal with a shell will retract into its shell when frightened. The explosion of the corpse tower just now has alarmed it. Even if it really sticks out its head, it will have to be hit with one hit. Wait until it becomes wary. It probably won’t be opened again.”
Song Siyuan's words stumped everyone. The giant clam was frightened and it was difficult to open its shell in a short period of time. After careful consideration, they found that they could only lure it to open its shell completely by finding something bloody.
Zhang Hansheng opened his sleeves to reveal the scabbed wounds from the escape. Drops of blood dripped as he approached the water. When the blood flowed into the giant lake, the smell of fresh human blood quickly drew out the greedy clams. The shell not only spat out blisters, but also began to flash randomly.
With a crash, the giant shell opened upwards, and the old bandit hurried back to the shore!
The cry of this ancient clam was similar to rubbing on a table, and the echo vibrated in the air, making it even more hollow. Everyone stared closely at the ancient clam after opening its shell.
Under the shell, which is as big as a house, is a clam body that is larger than a granary. Its body is pure white and clear, like a few white fungus as big as a water tank sinking into the lotus root powder. The inner shell is smooth and white with a mother-of-pearl glow. It is secreting sticky liquid all the time, moistening the body of the clam that is exposed to the air. The tails of countless translucent black tentacles stretch out, constantly wandering in the lake and sticking out of the water.
"Why does this thing look so similar to a mirage?"
The first time Yue Guanchao saw the ancient clam, he could tell that it was almost the same as the jellyfish, especially the earthy smell after opening the shell.
Song Siyuan looked at the skirt of the ancient clam and explained: "It is probably a product of the same era as the jellyfish. In the prehistoric era of the earth, due to the abundant oxygen, many animals grew very huge. Even the fish in the river were ten. As long as 1 meter, the size of mirages and ancient clams are small compared with the fish of the same era. They are just huge creatures in the water."
"Later, the earth's oxygen concentration dropped and the water continued to degrade. They followed the groundwater into deeper strata. The jellyfish we saw in the Haidong Emperor's Tomb and the ancient clams we saw now also hid underground after the ecological environment deteriorated. , if it can survive to this day, it can be regarded as a living fossil."
"What is this? It seems to be spitting out beads!"
Xu Xiake looked forward. The ancient clam suddenly loosened violently, and the huge pearl was lifted out of the body from the layered white fungus.
This scene made everyone's eyes widen in shock.
This pearl is the size of a disc and looks crystal clear, like a translucent glass ball. When you shine it with a flashlight, you can still see a layer of moist golden light.
"Sea clam spits beads!"
Xu Xiake looked at everyone and explained: "All creatures in the water belong to the hundreds of tribes in the underworld. When the moon rises at night, the aquatic tribe will often worship the moon and attract the moonlight to cultivate themselves, especially shellfish, which have been around for thousands of years. The inner elixir of old clams and clams will form in their bodies, and this inner elixir absorbs the essence of moonlight and becomes a treasure in the water, which can prolong life, nourish the body and mind, and some old clams can even cure diseases."
"It can be said that the bigger the inner elixir is, the more psychic the old clam is. However, no matter how big the ordinary clam elixir is, it is only the size of a fist. I have never seen or heard of this clam elixir that is as big as a disk."
