The bottom of the sea is vast, and the sediment and sea water are not distinct, as if they have been crumpled together, and it looks hazy.

Under the illumination of the light, there are many grayish-white fine particles floating in the seawater, which seem to be floating dust on the bottom of the sea, and like some tiny biological debris.

There are very few living creatures visible to the naked eye, and more of them are dead silence.

More than ten meters in front of the seabed, there is a slightly flattened black-brown stone.

The stone, which is about a meter long, seems to have been lying on the bottom of the sea for a long time, with a bumpy surface and pitted surface, with a lot of sediment attached, and a small part of the whole is embedded in the sediment.

"That's not a stone." Sarah smiled slightly, "Captain, don't underestimate the camouflage ability of these undersea creatures, especially weak creatures like pearl mussels. ”

The evolutionary path of living beings is full of magic.

Some creatures have evolved powerful fangs and claws to climb to the top of the food chain with terrifying prowess.

And some creatures have evolved advanced intelligence, and with their powerful creative ability, they can also stand at the top of the food chain.

And some creatures ......

For example, the one in front of me seems to be a stone, but it is actually a pearl mussel that has grown for more than ten years.

They don't have great strength, their IQ is not high enough, and on the road of evolution, most of the abilities they gain are disguised and life-saving.

After Sarah's prompting, Susha put on the life-sensing glasses.

"What a pearl mussel."

He looked around, and the whole world changed in an instant.

Before putting on the glasses, the underwater world around you is cold and dead, and there is no trace of life in sight, as if it is a forgotten corner of the world.

And after putting it on, Su Xia saw countless points of light representing life.

In the sediment of the submarine beneath the submarine, lurking one small life after another, some of them are bug-shaped, some are crab-shaped, and some are some flat fish.

In the dark and hazy waters around us, there are also floating sea creatures.

The entire underwater world has changed its appearance, and it is a scene of vitality and competition!

More than ten meters ahead, the flat stone block in the shape of a black reef has a mussel-like body in the world displayed by the life perception glasses.

"Do you use the fishing system directly?" Susha asked.

"Yes."

Sarah smiled slightly: "Captain, you can control the capture by me, or you can control the capture yourself, the choice is yours." ”

Su Xia didn't think much about it: "You go on, I haven't practiced, I'm afraid it will escape from my hands." ”

"Okay."

Sarah waved her hand slightly, only to hear a buzzing sound, and the whole submarine shook, as if a certain module had been activated.

At the same time, a picture appeared on the display screen in front of Su Xia's left.

In the picture, it is a three-dimensional composition of the entire submarine.

It can be seen that under the submarine, a hatch was opened, and from inside the door came two gray-white robotic arms.

Under Sarah's control, the two mechanical arms slowly moved forward, like the big hands of an iron giant, gradually lengthening, and getting closer to the stone-like pearl mussel in front of them.

At this moment, the pearl mussel seemed to feel something, and it moved!

"Brush—"

It scrambled to break away from the mud and sand where it was hiding, and the current surged, kicking up a cloud of gray ocean dust that muddied the waters in front of it, as if to interfere with the enemy's vision.

Then, the upper and lower shells of the mussel opened and closed, stirring up a stream of water, and with this reaction force, propelled itself to escape.

This was the first time Su Xia had seen a mussel shell swimming.

The black pearl mussel in front of it, the upper and lower shells of the open mussels seem to open their big mouths, one high and one low, one open and one close, and the picture of escape is very funny.

Although it is a little funny, it is not slow to escape at all, and every time it spews out seawater, it can escape more than ten meters away.

And it sticks to the seabed, and the water that spews out can stir up the sediment on the bottom of the sea, making the area ahead even more turbid and almost invisible.

"Gollum ......"

Some of the underwater creatures hiding in the mud and sand were disturbed by him, and they also joined the fleeing army.

You can see that a black-brown seabed bug about a meter long can be seen flying by, swimming towards the distance on the left, escaping the area.

A few other flattened fish escaped, fleeing in different directions in the grey, murky waters.

Under the mixing of various organisms, the bottom of the sea is becoming more and more turbid.

"It's going to run away." Su Xia reminded.

"Rest assured, Captain Captain won't let it escape."

Sarah smiled slightly, controlled the submarine, and slowly moved forward, following the big pearl mussel without hurry.

Underneath the submarine, two robotic arms are like the wrists of the Grim Reaper, approaching little by little.

The big mussel did its best and tried everything to escape, but in the face of modern technology, everything was in vain, and in the end it still failed to escape the clutches of the submarine, and was firmly controlled by two mechanical arms, and could no longer break free.

"It's not easy to look at it, take the pearl and let it go." Su Xia said: "If you take the pearl, it shouldn't die, right?" ”

"No, the captain must believe in the vitality of the Zerg creatures."

Conventional cultured sea mussels or river mussels die when the pearls are removed.

Because it is very troublesome not to kill mussels and take pearls, and ordinary workers do not have that patience, they basically kill mussels and take pearls, and most of the remaining mussel meat is made into feed and eaten, and mussel shells will also be ground for feed or polished into handicrafts and decorations.

Below, the two robotic arms slowly returned, carrying the sea mussels back to the submarine's cabin.

Subsequently, the hatch was closed and the seawater was discharged.

"Captain, you can go and get the pearls now." Sarah said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Su Xia got up from her seat, bent over, and went to the small cabin where the pearl mussel had been caught.

The cabin was just behind the submarine, and there wasn't much space, and the hatch above was on the floor of Susha's floor.

"Hum—"

A crack appeared in the floor, and the hatch of the cabin below slowly opened to the left and right, and a damp smell of the sea came over the face.

Su Xia, who was standing on it, narrowed his eyes slightly, and through the narrow hatch, he saw the pearl clam with a pitted surface.

At this moment, this big mussel has been firmly controlled by more than a dozen small mechanical closure devices in the cabin, and it can't move, like fish meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

[Phantom Blue Sea Mussel: Shame of the Zerg, one of the several Zerg creatures with the weakest combat effectiveness, with almost no combat ability]

[Due to its talent for absorbing psionic energy, this creature is often hunted by the rest of the Zerg as a tonic]

Su Xia popped up a hint in front of his eyes, it was the kind of phantom blue sea mussel that specialized in producing sea blue pearls, and it was the shame of the Zerg who were extremely famous in the starry sky.

[The mussel has lived for 14 years and contains seven sea blue pearls of different sizes]

Fourteen years, it is considered an old clam essence, no wonder it can grow to more than a meter in size.

At this moment, although the old clam could not move, there was a bubbling stream of water overflowing from the cracks in the mussel shell, as if he was crying, as if begging Su Xia to let him go.

Suddenly, Su Xia actually felt a strange mental fluctuation.

"I see, no wonder the combat power is so weak, it turns out to be a spiritual creature!"

This old mussel, in the spiritual fluctuations passed on to Su Xia, there is sadness, sorrow, and thirst for life.

Although it cannot be spoken, it expresses the same meaning.

Su Xia couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a refinement!" ”

Sarah's illusory body stood beside him and chuckled, "According to the records, this pearl mussel does have a special spiritual ability that can cause slight interference to the enemy. ”

"Is it just a slight one?" Susha asked.

"It's not strong enough at the moment."

Sarah explains: "It is said that some of the hundred-year-old mussels create extremely powerful mental disturbances, and can even cause people to hallucinate. ”

According to the information, some crew members once hallucinated while fishing for this sea mussel.

Through their descriptions, it can be known that in their hallucinations, they saw this sea mussel slowly open, and there was a woman with a poignant expression inside the mussel shell.

The moment they saw the woman, they couldn't bear and felt compassion, and couldn't help but let go of many sea mussels.

"Clam fairy?" Su Xia was stunned, and inexplicably thought of a certain folklore.

Could it be that there are such mussels on the other side of the earth?

On the other side of the earth, there are many rumors about clam fairies, not only in China, but also abroad.

Su Xia wanted to see what the mussel shell fairy was like, but unfortunately this sea mussel only had more than ten years of life, and it was not easy to convey a spiritual fluctuation, and it was impossible to create a real illusion.

"Presumably this is one of the ways for this race to escape." Su Xia Mingwu.

Since this mussel shell can cause unannounced disturbance to humans, it is natural that it can also cause similar disturbance to other predators.

At this time, Su Xia received a second mental fluctuation.

This old mussel, the spiritual fluctuations conveyed by him, said that he was willing to give all the pearls produced to Su Xia, as long as Su Xia could let him live.

"Don't worry, I didn't want to kill you." Su Xia soothed: "I have compassion in my heart, I have never even killed ants in my life, my hands are clean, I have never been stained with blood, and I am not a person who loves to kill." ”

After feeling Su Xia's kindness, Lao Beng also released a wave of goodwill spiritual fluctuations.

Su Xia nodded slightly, and then said to Sarah, "Let go of the control." ”

"Okay."

Sarah waved her hand lightly, buzzed a few times, and the more than a dozen mechanical arm devices slowly retracted, no longer controlling the old clam's movements.

Then, the old mussel's body trembled slightly.

It still seemed a little scared, but it kept its promise, and the upper and lower shells slowly opened and closed, revealing the mussel flesh and seven sea blue pearls inside.

The mussel meat is dark red in color and is very thin, as if several layers of fleshy film are attached to the inside of the mussel shell.

The seven pearls are in one of the layers of flesh.

The old clam spit out slightly, its body trembled, as if it had breathed a few times, and the pearls in the fleshy membrane seemed to be squeezed, and were squeezed to the outermost layer little by little.

Then, only a soft snapping sound was heard.

The first pearl was squeezed out of the mussel shell and landed on the surface of the cabin.

"You don't need to use a knife." Su Xia looked curiously, this Zerg sea mussel had a very different structure from the common river mussel, and it was able to squeeze out the pearl by itself.

This also saved Su Xia a lot of trouble, as long as he watched the old clam action.

A gray-white alloy mechanical arm slowly moved forward, gently picked up the pearl, and slowly went up, sending it to Su Xia.

This pearl is cold to the hand, dark blue throughout, with soft ripples and flashes in the light, like a dream, beautiful and moving, as if condensing the depth and blue of the entire sea.

"This pearl, according to Andrew, should be worth about 600,000, which is quite good." Su Xia estimated.

Of the seven pearls, this pearl is only medium in size.

Immediately afterward, the old clam spat out five more in a row, the largest of which was bigger than Susha's fist and larger than the largest pearl in Andrew's collection.

In the end, only the smallest one remained.

The old clam transmitted another spiritual fluctuation, indicating that he wanted to leave a spiritual pearl as his own energy supply.

These pearls are originally psionic crystals, and if they are all spit out, they will fall into a state of weakness for a long time, and they will be easily hunted by the rest of the predators.

In fact, it was going to spit out all the pearls to save its life, but found that Su Xia was easier to speak, so it cautiously begged to keep one.

"Yes, stay."

Su Xia saw that what it left was only the smallest one, and it was of little value, so he waved his hand.

Subsequently, Lao Beng expressed his willingness to return to the sea.

The pearls are all given, and it is useless, just to find a place to continue hiding.

Susha didn't embarrass it, and asked Sarah to open the hatch and let the old clam out.

"Go all the way."

Susha returned to his seat at the front of the submarine.

Under his gaze, the upper and lower shells of the old mussel opened and closed, and the two shells were like a pair of wings, and the old mussel quickly floated away.

Some people say that shells are butterflies in the sea, and this is true.

"Captain, are you satisfied with the harvest?" Sarah asked him with a smile.

"Very satisfied!"

The six pearls that Su Xia got in his hands were worth more than five million in total, which was a big harvest.

This speed of making money is really frightening, and picking up money is not so fast.

Of course, this is also because Su Xia was lucky, as soon as he entered the bottom of the sea, he saw such an old mussel that was more than ten years old.

"These pearls can't be sold." Su Xia carefully put away the six pearls, "I need to improve my strength now, these psionic pearls can just extract enough psionic elixir." ”

Su Xia has many opponents, such as Mercer, who fought not long ago.

He knew that if he fought head-on, he would not be Mercer's opponent at all, and that Mercer had only underestimated the enemy last time, and that he would not have this kind of good luck next time.

"Life must be firmly in your own hands, and you can't rely on luck every time." Su Xia deeply understood this truth.

You must know that Mercer is only one of the high-ranking members of the mechanical race, and the truly powerful opponent is the legendary master.

It is rumored that the Juggernaut may have exceeded the scope of a sixth-level creature, and he was like a black wall that weighed heavily on the hearts of every member of the resistance, overwhelming everyone.

"Captain, do you have a refining method?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, I have a psionic filter."

Su Xia had two psionic filters in his hand, one of which was called [Alienation Filter], which was a three-no product, that is, the one that used the Zerg gland to extract psionic energy before.

The other is obtained in the quest [Deep in Hell], called [New Psionic Filter].

This filter can not only extract the psionic energy of the Zerg, but also from other organisms or items that contain psionic energy, and it is not a three-nothing product, it is certified by the Eurooke company.

Su Xia planned to throw the alienation filter in the corner of the warehouse to eat dust, and then use the new filter.

"These pearls aren't enough!" Su Xia said seriously, "Let's go, let's continue fishing, catch as much as you want!" ”

He's going to get enough psionic potions at the bottom of the sea, and then quietly get stronger and shock everyone!
