"My two are much prettier than those big guys." Qin Mingyue said happily.

Han Peacock said: "Well, then you can put it away carefully." ”

"Maybe there's a pearl in there! This kind of clams also produces pearls, right? Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock smiled and waved his hand, and a big guy appeared in front of them, this was the largest clam they had found earlier, and it had a lot less camouflage on its body, revealing its white nature.

Maybe it's because it feels that the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag is very safe, so its shell is open, and it seems that the posture is still waiting for the rabbit.

At this time, it was transferred out by Han Peacock along with the sea water in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, so it didn't feel anything, and it still opened its shell like that, waiting for the prey to come to the door automatically.

"Is this the same clams from earlier? It's so beautiful? Qin Mingyue was surprised and directly threw the two small clams in her hand, and stretched out her hand to touch the big clams.

Han Peacock was startled, quickly came to the top of it, stretched out his legs and stepped on it angrily, the clam was frightened, and quickly closed the shell, and brought up a piece of mud and sand.

Only then did Han Peacock speak: "Didn't you sue you just now?" This thing is very dangerous, the corbel can be pinched, your jade hand, do you think it is stronger than the corbel? ”

Qin Mingyue retracted her hand curtly, and changed the topic: "A big guy like this one meter three or four, it is estimated that he should have lived for decades, which is very rare!" You've had a pretty good time this time. ”

Han Peacock said with a smile: "Due to the decreasing total amount, the price of clams has been speculated by the market in recent years, and now the crusts are unprecedentedly popular in the market. For example, a few years ago, a large clams of about one meter and in good condition cost only two or three thousand yuan; And now the same product can be sold for up to 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and its range can be described as skyrocketing.

The shell carving handicrafts made of large clams shells have been sold at auction for millions of dollars, which is staggering, and some professionals have analyzed that because of the delicate texture of good clams shells, coupled with the ban on the international ivory trade. The ivory carving industry is unsustainable. Therefore, shell carving quickly filled the gap and became a hot high-grade raw material. ”

"So, you have what you have to play?" Qin Mingyue knew that Han Peacock liked carving, but it turned out that there were no good materials. Bricks made of stone, trees, and jade. Han peacocks have been carved.

Han Peacock said: "Now I don't lack materials. Whether it's jadeite or jade, or ivory and fine wood, I have a large collection in my hands. ”

"Huh? Didn't you say go back? Why are you still going there? Qin Mingyue found that Han Peacock was walking in the wrong direction. Immediately reminded.

Han Peacock pulled Qin Mingyue and said, "Let's walk along this current, the temperature of this current is high, let's investigate the sea area affected by this current, so as to mark it." ”

"Are you planning to come back later?" Qin Mingyue followed Han Peacock and asked as she walked.

Han Peacock said: "I don't have many opportunities to come here in the future, but if the Shenlong passes by here, send someone to dive into the water to have a look, maybe it can harvest a few more times." ”

"You're really good at it." Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock smiled silently, he controlled the flow of water, sped up, and soon traveled a few miles away.

"Not yet?" Qin Mingyue asked.

Han Peacock said: "It's almost, there is an undersea mountain range ahead, and the current should change direction." ”

When he reached the undersea mountain range, Han Peacock stopped, outside this mountain range, there was actually a sea trench, and the warm current was flowing in this sea trench.

Of course, perhaps this trench was washed out by the warm current because of the block of the submarine mountain range.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Han Peacock was stunned and did not move, Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock was awakened by Qin Mingyue, he looked at Qin Mingyue and laughed: "Fortunately, I took you down this time, if someone else comes down, you may not necessarily discover the secret in this trench." ”

"What's in the trench?" Qin Mingyue looked at the dark trench and was a little scared.

Han Peacock said, "What do you see over there?" ”

At the intersection of the currents, where the currents form a right angle to the mountains and begin to form a trench along the mountains, a bulge stands there slightly abruptly.

"Huh? It looks familiar! Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock said: "Of course it's familiar, we found four just now, this should be the fifth, and it's a big guy more than a meter, it seems that this special sea area is really the habitat of the clams." ”

"You mean it's a clams too?" Qin Mingyue's reaction was quite fast.

Han Peacock said: "It looks like it was washed down from above by that ocean current, if we come a little later, maybe it will be washed down the trench." ”

"Rushing down the trench? You wouldn't say that there are such big clams in the trench, right? Qin Mingyue looked at Han Peacock in surprise and said.

Han Peacock smiled and said: "You guessed it, there are really a lot of clams down there, but the dead are much more dead than alive, this kind of just rushed down, maybe it can still be or for a while, and after a long time, it will die."

Because the currents in the trench have become very rapid, and the temperature has dropped a lot, I think that the farther away from here, the lower the sea temperature in the trench will become, and it will be unsuitable for the clams. ”

Han Peacock used his water control magic power to roll up one from the trench, and the largest shell he sensed was sent to him and Qin Mingyue.

"This shell is two meters in diameter, and it's the biggest of the clams, so we'll take this back to make a bath." Han Peacock said with a smile.

"Use this thing for a bathtub?" Qin Mingyue looked at Han Peacock strangely.

Han Peacock said: "Tridacnus is as white as jade, and it will not be scratched when it is a child's bathtub, so it is just right, and it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that it has the effect of calming the heart and calming the nerves and cooling the blood and lowering blood pressure.

At the same time, it has a very high medicinal value: it can cool the blood, lower blood pressure, calm the nerves, especially for sore throat and children's blisters. Tridacnus can protect the body and prolong life, and Tibetan Buddhism regards it as a magical treasure to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits.

In addition, it also has the functions of warding off evil spirits and keeping peace, eliminating disasters and misfortunes, eliminating evil spirits and changing feng shui, which can be said to be a real treasure. ”

"If it's so good, why don't you cherish it?" Qin Mingyue glanced at Han Peacock and said.

Han Peacock said: "You don't think I'm fooling you, you must know that clams, coral, pearls, and amber are listed as the four major organic gems in the West, and they have been regarded as a treasure in ancient China.

As early as the Han Dynasty Fu Sheng's "The Great Biography of Shangshu", there is a record of the place where King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned by the King of Shang in Jinli, and San Yisheng used a big shell to pay tribute to King Wen and redeem the story of King Wen. ”

"And said that it wasn't fooling me, since it's so good, how can you make a bathtub for a child?" Qin Mingyue said.

Han Peacock laughed: "One aspect is good for children, and the other is that things are vaguely expensive, this kind of thing may be very precious to others, but for us now, it is an ordinary thing, because there are many more in this trench." ”

After speaking, Han Peacock put away this huge shell and wanted to pull Qin Mingyue away.

"Is there really a lot down there?" Qin Mingyue asked.

Han Peacock nodded and said, "It's really a lot, and I'll definitely get all of these clams up later, but I'll need the help of someone from above at that time." ”

"Why?" Qin Mingyue looked at Han Peacock strangely, he could completely put all the clams below into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and now Han Peacock's decision has undoubtedly added a lot of trouble.

Han Peacock smiled and said, "First, I can't do everything, otherwise what would my subordinates do?" Shengmien fights Mi Qiu, if my subordinates can still get paid if they don't do things, do you think they will be grateful to me?

Another is because I don't need too many clams in my Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and the clams here are still let those ordinary crew members catch them and send them directly to Peacock Island, so it's not good for me to help. ”

"Your Xuanyuan Water Control Flag can't be too exposed." Qin Mingyue nodded in approval.

Soon, two people surfaced, and the speedboat, which was waiting for pick-up, immediately helped them board the speedboat.

Han Peacock said: "Call someone over, there are a lot of large clams in a trench below. ”

After a short time, a speedboat sailed over, the cable was tied to the steel ring at the stern, and a diver went into the water with the other end of the rope, and pulled the rope three times in a row as a signal, as soon as the signal came out, the speedboat immediately started to pull to the north.

Another diver put on diving goggles and fins, then turned over the railing on the left side of the boat, and jumped into the water, originally Qin Mingyue wanted to go down to have a look, but Han Peacock was unwilling, so she could only go into the wheelhouse to rest, and Han Peacock himself was outside to put away the cable and observe the situation.

After entering the water, the diver held the cable in one hand and the navigator in the other, and quickly traveled to the position of the large clams, and because of the guidance of the navigator, it only took three minutes to find the target of the trip.

Through the camera brought down by the diver, Han Peacock found that there was a large clam, like the ones he found, with its mouth open, waiting for its prey, but this time the prey became itself.

This kind of guy has a lot of strength in the closing muscles, and if you get it directly, you have to pry it open with an iron rod, which is easy to cause damage to the shell, which is also the most valuable part of it. The price difference between the intact clams and the broken ones is far from the price.

The diver slid down the water, quietly swam to the side of the giant clam, trying not to alarm it, and when he came closer, he stretched out the wooden stick and plunged it into the mouth of the giant clam.

Frightened, the two shells closed urgently, and the wooden stick was clenched tightly, and the diver did not delay any longer, and quickly tied the big guy with a cable, so that it could not spit out the wooden stick.

He tried his sturdiness, then pulled the rope three times to give a signal, and the speedboat motor rumbled, and the cable gradually straightened. (To be continued......)
