Chapter 30: The Super Mussel
"Smack!"
Carefully crawled into the cave.
Even if he had tried to lighten his steps as much as possible, the huge size of the cave still inevitably caused a slight vibration, and the stones that his tail accidentally swept made a slight impact sound.
The place in front of me where the light came from suddenly darkened.
Yang Qian suddenly became more cautious.
Moreover, his heart suddenly jumped inexplicably.
Do creatures that use light?
Fortunately, the cave was large enough, otherwise he would not have been able to enter it because of his size, and even then, after he entered, the cave seemed to be much smaller.
And this huge figure, which occupies almost half of the cave, has to deliberately make a tiptoeing appearance, fortunately no creature next to it can see, otherwise it would not be awkwardly killed.
Yang Qian wanted to make a pose, so he raised his voice at the mouth of the cave and said "Yang someone is coming to visit". It's a pity that he really doesn't have the courage to face the unknown. Even if he had already experienced a lot in the Cretaceous.
The ground of the cave, on one side near the stone wall, is a small ditch, which is very small. Yang Qian estimated that if the river had calmed down and there had been no splashing waves, there would have been no streams forming here at all.
As for the time of the year, when the water in the big river enters the dry season, this small ditch should not exist. Because the current season is the most abundant time of the rivers in the world. Other times, the water level will not be so high.
The reason why Yang Qian slowed down and thought about these things was not because he was idle, but because he wanted to use this time to prepare for the creature in the cave who could use light.
After taking a few more steps, he felt the sound of the water behind him quieter, and with his claws he buckled a stone from the rock wall and threw it towards the bend in the current.
"Bang!" "Smack!"
The stones hit the rock wall and then fell back into the ditch. Yang Qian cheered up, hoping to hear something coming from inside.
The sound coming from the river outside was so loud that he couldn't concentrate on listening to the movement inside.
At this time, his mood was extremely nervous, not because he was afraid of the unknown ahead; Purely because of the excitement of the thought of having a controllable light inside.
With a nervous mood, the not deep cave was finally about to end, this place was actually very dark, otherwise Yang Qian would not have seen the light outside the cave just now.
At this time, the place where the light came out just now was also exposed to Yang Gan's line of sight.
However, at this time, he could only see a little bit, and two more steps were taken to let Yang Qian get a glimpse of the whole picture.
Then he cursed in his heart and walked towards the cave in front of him, which was one size smaller.
I was expecting a light in my eyes, and there was a scene in the cave about how to surprise myself, and my surprise was ready, but I found that everything was just because the cave turned a corner, and it was obvious that there was still a bend to turn.
So he could only be amazed at how unsurprising this cave made him.
Although the fire in my heart is big, it is a pity that caution is still necessary, and I continue to move forward cautiously, and I have come to the corner again.
If you don't get up hope, can't you surprise me?
The scene in front of him made Yang Qian a little dumbfounded.
Although the cave turned two corners here, the depth was not too deep, and there was still some faint light, so that Yang Qian could barely see everything in the cave in front of him.
Needless to say, there are strange stone walls, and there are also strange stone pillars like monsters.
It's a pity that these are not what Yang Qian wants to see.
It's just an ordinary cave at the bottom of the mountain.
"Wow wow!"
The strange scream that suddenly sounded made Yang Qian immediately on guard.
When he settled down and looked closely, he realized that it was just two salamanders.
What about the strange light?
He ignored the two axolotls, which were only a few meters long, and walked forward.
"Wow wow!"
The two salamanders let out a few cries and turned their heads into the waterhole in the center of the cave.
What about that strange light just now?
Looking at the unobstructed cave, Yang Qian even felt that what he had just seen was an illusion.
It's a pity that he knows that with his five senses, it is impossible to be wrong.
Walking around the cave carefully, his vision improved slightly as he spent more time in the dark.
The whole cave wasn't huge, of course, for his sheer size, including the small waterhole in the middle of the cave. The water is so clear that you can even see the bottom of the pool.
At this time, the two salamanders were honestly hiding underwater, but they didn't know that Yang Qian had already seen them clearly.
There was nothing at the bottom of the pond except for a few strange-shaped stones.
What exactly is the light emitted?
Yang Qian became more and more puzzled.
"Boom!"
The sound of the stone pillars collapsing was loud in the small cavern.
Yang Qian searched for a few turns, but found nothing, and couldn't help but knock down the somewhat strange flying stone pillars he saw to see what was mysterious.
The only few stone pillars in the small cave also fell, and the cave was still the same cave, and the waterhole was still the same waterhole, except that because the stones fell, the water in the waterhole was mixed up a little, but it still didn't change.
Yang Gan simply lay down and began to think about what was wrong, why he couldn't find anything when he saw the light in this cave?
The cave was quiet, and the dust raised by the collapse of the stone pillars just now gradually dissipated, Yang Qian meditated hard, and kept turning his head to look around, but unfortunately there was still nothing to find.
"Wow!" "Wow!"
The sound of flowing water came, and Yang Qian looked at the two salamanders who were moving their bodies carefully in the waterhole, and suddenly came to inspiration.
He jerked to his feet, plopped up, and jumped into the pool.
The two salamanders were so frightened that they quickly sprang up, went ashore, twisted their bodies desperately, and fled outside.
Yang Qian didn't bother to take care of them at all, but groped around at the bottom of the pool.
The water in the waterhole was stirred into a pool of muddy water.
He had lifted even a few large rocks at the bottom of the pool, but there was still nothing.
Yang Gan, who finally decided to give up, crawled out of the waterhole weakly, and it seemed that he couldn't find anything.
A stone blocking the road was slapped by him and flew out, a big stone two meters square swirled in the air, snapped, and hit a collapsed stone pillar, listening to the sound of the stone rolling on the ground, Yang Qian walked slowly outside. The two salamanders just now were fortunate to run fast, otherwise they would have become the target of the predator demon to vent their frustration at this time, and there would definitely be no good end.
As soon as he reached the bend of the cave, Yang Qian suddenly stopped, and then he turned his head to look at the stone he had last slapped away.
Doesn't seem right?
He quickly turned around, ran to the stone, and tapped it with his paws.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
A dull voice came, but Yang Gan began to be happy in his heart.
This stone is empty, just now I just felt that this stone flew too far, and it did not match its own weight, but now it seems that it is indeed so!
The inside of the cave was too dim for him to see the specific image of the stone, but listening to the sound, he would never be mistaken.
He picked up the stone and was about to set off, but as soon as he stood up, he put down the stone again, and then tapped wildly in the cave.
When he had knocked all the larger stones again, he found two more such stones, and both of them were in the pool.
Carrying the largest, and first-to-find stone, towards the outside of the cave, Yang Gan's heart couldn't help but begin to fantasize infinitely, what kind of treasure would be in it?
Treasures?
Eat and let yourself fly?
Or just two wings.
Coming out of the darkness, the light outside the cavern stung him so much that he had to pause on the road to allow his eyes to adjust to the light before continuing to walk out.
Then when he looked at the "stone" he was holding, he was dumbfounded.
The strange but orderly lines on the "stone" told him that it was definitely not a stone.
After checking this big "stone" over and over again, Yang Qian finally determined that this was really not a stone, this was a mussel.
It's the same thing as a seafood clam that tastes delicious, except that it may give birth to a pearl mussel.
The pearl of the night?
Yang Gan, who almost felt a little disappointed just now, after remembering the special surname of the thing he was holding, and then thinking of the light he had just seen, the first thing he thought of was the three words of Night Pearl.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
This big mussel, who doesn't know how many years it has grown in a quiet cave, is finally facing its own end at this time.
The predator demon didn't even bother to go back to look at the other two mussels, and after discovering that his claws could not penetrate the gap between the two hard shells of the mussels, he began to lift the stone and began to destroy the large mussel, which was almost two meters in diameter.
Obviously, the shell of this mussel is much harder than the stone, and Yang Gan, who has smashed a few stones, found that although some slag has fallen on its surface, it is a pity that it has not hurt the root at all.
Yang Gan, who was ruthless and picked up a big stone and was about to smash it, suddenly stopped.
What if it's really a night pearl inside, and I smash it with this stone?
He turned his head and walked towards the depths of the cave, walked out with the two mussels in his arms, and then bit one and hugged the other, and the other clamped it with his hind limbs, and jumped into the river and hurried towards the ginkgo forest.
After transporting the three big mussels to the clearing in the forest with difficulty, Yang Qian looked at the three big mussels and sneered.
Out of the water, I think you can hold on for a few days?
How big a pearl does such a big mussel have to be, or a pearl of the night?
Yang Gan, who fell into a fantasy again, ignored the strange gazes of his companions, and began to guard a few big mussels like stones, ready to wait for them to show that they had given birth to the night pearl for I don't know how many years.
