Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Underwater, Jiang Yichen's left foot was caught by a giant mussel.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed the upper part of the mussel shell and broke it hard.
Who knew that with his greatly increased strength, it would be useless.
After the pain in my left foot, I started to feel numb.
He thought for a moment, took out a short knife from the space, grabbed the clam shell in his left hand, and stabbed the knife in his right hand into the gap on the side of his left foot.
Because the mussel seam is so small, the hand can't reach in, and it can only be used for the blade to move.
But the situation quickly disappointed him, and everywhere the blade reached, it was all hard objects, and it seemed that it was far from the soft tissues and adductor muscles of the giant mussel.
I tried to pry it with the knife a few more times, and the mussel shell was thick and strong, and the blade was almost broken, and there was no loosening.
At this time, Leqiu swam over, and when he saw that he was in danger, he hurriedly stepped forward to help. Giant mussels with their beaks arched, tail fins hitting, and even mouth opening. Some of the attachments on the giant mussel's body fell off one after another, but the body still went its own way, standing still like a rock.
Leqiu was obviously in a hurry, constantly circling around him, making a series of clicking sounds.
It seems that he can only enter the space to avoid for a while, Jiang Yichen thought of this, adjusted his thoughts, and stroked his hand to the faint silver mark on his chest.
After a few seconds, his body was still in place, and he didn't move.
At this time, he remembered that, according to past experience, the transportation of objects into space must be separate and unconnected, including itself, and the current situation obviously does not meet this requirement.
The situation is getting worse and worse, if not in the water. He must have beads of sweat on his forehead at this time.
It's troublesome, what should I do? Jiang Yichen adjusted his breathing. Try to keep yourself calm while your mind is strained.
He thoughtfully scanned the space to see what tools he could use.
No iron crowbar was found, otherwise as soon as the thing was on it, according to the principle of leverage, the closing force of the giant clam would not be able to bear it.
There is a medium-sized hammer with a short handle, take it out and hold it in your hand, and make a gesture at the seam of the mussel shell. The handle of the hammer is too thick to fit in. After a few direct hits with a hammer, the size of the giant clam was too large and there was no response.
If you had a wedge, you could try it, and that thing would have a lot of momentum.
There was no space in it, so Jiang Yichen searched around.
There are rocks on the sandy ground nearby, but they are not too big. It's just too round to fit. The ideal shape should be one with a flat tip and a thick end.
He looked a little farther away, and it seemed that there were a few pieces that were in the same shape. But how to get it? He thought anxiously.
The left calf was already numb and barely felt anything.
At this moment, a smooth object rubbed against his back. There was a clicking sound.
By the way, Leqiu, let it help.
Jiang Yichen picked up a stone from the ground, gestured at the hovering Leqiu, and then stretched out his hand to point to the ground in front of him.
Leqiu was a little confused at first. But it soon showed its super high intelligence, and its head swayed up and down. With a flick of the tail fin, he went straight to the target.
Suddenly, it quickly returned, clutching a cylindrical stone in its mouth.
Jiang Yichen took it and threw it away, waved his hand at it, indicating that it was not suitable and asked it to take it again.
In this way, Leqiu ran several times in a row, and finally brought a black sรจ stone in the shape of a cone.
Jiang Yichen immediately started construction, curled up his body, inserted the flat cone-shaped end of the stone into the crack of the mussel shell, held it steady with his left hand, held the hammer in his right hand, and smashed it towards the back end of the stone.
Tom, despite the resistance of the water, the giant clam shook a little, and several algae on its body broke away.
There is a door. Jiang Yichen felt hope, so he made persistent efforts and smashed continuously with the greatest strength.
Tom tom, the tip of the stone finally wedged into the mussel crack. Jiang Yichen was overjoyed when he saw this, and he just started it.
After smashing it several times, the gap was stretched out a little, and the pressure on the ankle suddenly disappeared. He jerked hard, and his calves and flippers pulled out.
Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of pleasure after escape suddenly appeared in his heart.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his numb calves and feet and neck, and when Leqiu saw that he was out of danger, he also happily came up and rubbed around him.
I gradually felt it in my calves, and I could move my feet, so it seemed that there was no major problem.
He stretched out his legs and looked at the giant clam with the rocks in between them.
Who knows that the hateful big guy also seems to have a bit of intelligence, and understands that the prey has escaped, and the hard things on his mouth are not to eat. Then he opened the shell and spit out the stone, and then quickly closed it tightly.
Jiang Yichen swam to the front and struck the hammer on its shell a few times to vent his anger. If it weren't for the help of Leqiu today, I would have almost been served as lunch by it.
Under the beating, the giant clam clung to the thickness of its shell and did not react. It's just that the attachments on the body have fallen off, and the shell reveals furrows and a white jade-like texture. It's pretty to look at.
What the hell is this, go back and check it out on the Internet.
Jiang Yichen didn't plan to continue to deal with this low-intelligence creature, so he swung his flippers and began to swim back.
After traveling more than ten meters, the sea temperature began to cool.
This is obviously not a normal transition, so it is estimated that there may be geothermal resources on the seabed nearby, and the specific environment has caused a local warm sea effect, which has formed the specific habitat of the pearl mussel. He pondered secretly.
But I don't have time to investigate today, so I'll talk about it later when I have time.
Leqiu swam to his side, Jiang Yichen was not polite, climbed on its back, like a car, and directed it to return the same way.
Return to the lotus canopy reef and climb up the sampan. Jiang Yichen took off his diving goggles and fins, wiped his face, put the two things away, and then checked the left leg, foot and neck, and there were two bruises on the surface of the skin.
He let out a breath, still feeling palpitating. Today's distress also rang the bell for him, the bottom of the sea is not as calm as it seems on the surface, in fact, there are all kinds of dangers hidden inadvertently. It seems that you will have to be extra careful in diving in the future, and you will need to prepare some self-defense equipment in the space.
He untied the cable, slid his oars, and drove the sampan to the gravel beach to the north.
Twenty minutes later, the boat arrived at its destination, and Jiang Yichen called Lai Shun'er and asked him to come and answer it.
Lai Shun'er and Kiko soon appeared, pulled the sampan into position, and helped him off the boat.
"Brother Chenzi, what's going on?" Kiko asked worriedly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that when I was diving, my foot accidentally got stuck in a crack in the rock. Fortunately, with the help of Leqiu, it took a while to get out. Jiang Yichen explained lightly.
He stood firm on his right foot, and tried to step on the ground with his left foot, but it was okay, he could bear the force, but he still had some pain, and he would inevitably limp when he walked.
"That's dangerous. Brother Chenzi, don't play diving alone in the future. Seeing this, Lai Shun'er hurriedly grabbed him and walked up the mountain together.
