Chapter 196: Mussels and Fish Compete for Pearls
Among the coral bushes in the shallow sea, one by one the old mussels began to float, these old mussels did not know that they had lived for thousands and hundreds of years, some were as big as a small mountain, dozens of zhang long, the gray-white mussel shells had been stoned, and many of them were covered with moss dirt, at first glance, like huge rocks.
The smallest mussel is estimated to be several zhang long, which is comparable to the size of a small boat. Ten miles away from the island, thousands of giant mussels suddenly floated in the shallow sea of corals, and the scene was spectacular.
One by one, the giant mussels approached the surface of the water, hanging above the coral trees, and opened their double shells one after another, spitting out silver pearls.
"Old clam spit beads!"
Lu Shaoyu looked up at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly understood.
In the sea, those old mussels that have lived for tens of thousands of years will generally have a pearl in their bodies, and those pearl fishermen call them the inner dan of mussels. Every full moon night, these old mussels will float to the surface of the water, spit out the inner pill, and with the help of the power of the moonlight, quench and nourish the pill beads, making them more mellow and flawless.
Because Lu Shaoyu had practiced the Xuanwu Fuxing Chart, he knew that these old clam playing with the moon were actually just absorbing the power of Taiyin emitted by the moon. The Danzhu is the essence of the old mussel, because of the accumulation and nourishment over the years, this Danzhu has become an important part of the old mussel's body, and the pearl is sucked back into the body, which also has the effect of feeding back the old mussel to prolong life and strengthen the body.
Those giant mussels can live so long, and this Danzhu is indispensable. If these old mussels can cultivate into demons, this Danzhu will naturally become a real inner pill, just like the golden pill formed by those monks in the Dantian period, which is the foundation of their demonic power.
Overall, the red beads of the old mussel are very important to it!
The old mussel is pregnant with pearls, the cover is not qualitative and has a quality, the essence of the moon is the essence of the water, the essence of the pearl is the essence of the moon, the old mussel absorbs the essence of the moon for many years and turns into a pearl, this pearl is naturally the treasure of the treasure. If it can be ground into powder, it can nourish the muscles, bones and viscera, enhance the body, and make the body reach an unparalleled realm, and its effect is similar to the power of Taiyin to quench the body. Moreover, Danzhu is also moisturized by the essence and blood of the old mussel for thousands of years, and the effect is better.
Such a spirit will naturally attract the covetousness of other races. Whenever the moon is full, the old clam spits out the beads, and the sea tribes within a radius of 100 miles will come uninvited, gather around, and wait for the opportunity to snatch the clam beads. This behavior of the sea tribe is among the fishermen along the coast. It has always been called "taking the Dan". Dare to love the big fish and sea beasts that are surging outside, just with the intention of coming over to take the pill.
Thousands of giant mussels float in the shallow water, open their large shells, revealing the fist-sized or watermelon-sized danzhu inside to absorb the essence of the moonlight, for a while, the pearl is shining, the soft light is dazzling, echoing with the full moon, and the island light is interesting, with the colorful coral bushes around the island, gorgeous and colorful, beautiful fairyland.
Lu Shaoyu couldn't help but look stunned, and it took him a while before he came back to his senses from the beautiful scenery in front of him, and thought in his heart: "There are tens of thousands of old mussels here, each of them doesn't know how many years they have lived, but they have not left the shallow sea of this island, but the closer they get to the island, the more huge the old mussels are, and they dare to love this mysterious stone island......
Lu Shaoyu thought in his heart. He didn't immediately fight for the old clam beads, but waited and watched.
Around the fog, big fish slowly approached the shallow sea, their eyes shining with longing, staring closely at the giant mussel spitting out beads.
Lu Shaoyu thought to himself: "Mussel beads are so important to giant mussels, how can they be robbed so easily?" Moreover, these are man-eating mussels, looking at the rows of sharp bone teeth on the mussel shell like a saw knife, I'm afraid those sea clans won't be able to grab them so easily......"
One by one, the big fish began to quietly approach the giant mussels, and the giant mussels still spat out the water as if they hadn't noticed it, constantly flipping the mussel beads.
"Bla~~~"
A giant fish nearly ten zhang long finally couldn't resist the temptation of the mussel beads, and with a flick of the water on its tail, its body rushed out, rushing towards a giant clam not far from it, and opened its mouth to swallow the other party's mussel beads.
"Whoosh!"
The giant mussel was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and the two huge mussel shells contracted rapidly, and the serrated bone teeth on the mussel shells were like guillotines and closed together.
"Click!"
The speed of the giant fish is fast, and the speed of the giant clam is not slow. Obviously, for countless years, it is not pure luck that it is still able to keep the mussel beads alive, countless battles, which have trained their extremely fast reaction ability, once they feel that there are fish rushing around, this old mussel will immediately shrink the double shell.
Before the giant fish could snatch the mussel beads, it was immediately caught by the giant mussel, and its sharp bone teeth pierced its body, and half of the giant fish's body fell into the giant mussel.
The giant clam grabbed his hand, bit it and did not let go, and quickly sank down. The giant fish was about the same size as the giant clam but after being dragged into the water, it couldn't struggle for half a minute. The giant mussel is hard with its huge shell, and is not afraid of the slapping of the fish's tail at all.
Lu Shaoyu shook his head, this fish is probably not far from death, as long as the qi in its lungs is used up and there is no breathing, it will only be swallowed by waiting for death.
The wisdom of the fish is not high, with a beginning, the other fish also began to attack the giant mussel in groups, and immediately, the shallow sea within ten miles outside the island boiled, and a battle for the defense of the mussel beads was staged, and this beautiful sea area suddenly turned into a killing field.
Those old mussels don't know how many years they have lived, and they have kept the mussel beads in the battle after battle, and they are naturally much smarter than those stupid fish. In this battle, the giant mussel has the upper hand, and many giant fish and sea beasts have not succeeded in grabbing the mussel beads, so they are caught and dragged to the bottom of the water, waiting for the fate of suffocation. Occasionally, some giant fish break free, but among the thousands of people trapped, there are only a few survivors.
And those giant mussels are not invincible generals, and occasionally one or two are robbed of their mussel beads by a sea fish that is lucky and fast, fast and agile. Often, the big mussels that have lost their mussel beads are those that are relatively small in size and have immortal qualifications.
The seizure of the mussel beads has little effect on these giant mussels, and they still have the opportunity and time to give birth to another one.
The sea fish that won the mussel beads left quickly, and the big fish that had not yet obtained the mussel beads pounced one after another. And more often than not, there are many more big fish who lose their lives because of failure than those who are lucky enough to win the mussel beads.
People die for money, birds die for food, and the same is true for fish. For the sake of a mussel bead, these fish also gave up their surnames.
Shaking his head, Lu Shaoyu no longer paid attention to the big fish and giant mussels competing below, spread his wings, and flew towards the island......
