Chapter 78 scraping mussels to pick beads

In addition, it is said that some of the “pearl pool”, was picked by the egg pickers pick empty, clam shells and mussels piled up into a mountain, but at night, the pearl pool and the light reflecting the moon, the egg people do not know the truth, thinking that there are still mussels under the water beads, so the next day to continue to dive to pick beads, it is often no return, are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, “mussels ancestor! It eats the living, even the bones do not spit, but even if the beads of the pool is exhausted, it is still difficult to find its trace, so the egg people fighting for their lives in the sea talk about these legends, but also can not help but be horrified, and move the “mussel ancestor” will cause tsunamis and hurricanes, in short, it is rumored to be quite evil, without the fisherman’s secret weapon, is not in any case attract the “mussel ancestor”. In any case, it is rumored to be quite evil, without the fisherman’s secret weapon, it is not possible to attract the “clam ancestor”.

At this time, the water shadow is chaotic, I can’t see the whereabouts of Gu Cai, my heart can’t help worrying, I was about to go over to look for him, suddenly the “mother-of-pearl sea” bottom sediment churning, the demonic fog, the fog cage to see the shadowy light flashes, followed by a huge black shadow, a wave of blood from which gushed out, Gu Cai was covered in blood, carrying the “Corpse”, hands and feet and struggled to swim out, but behind him is full of demonic fog current, there seems to be this strong suction, just swim out three or five meters, and immediately sucked back by the current, suddenly disappeared in the fog.

“Mother of pearl” in the water under the move, really seems to have the momentum of the reversal of the sea to move mountains, only to see the water changing rainbow gas, are uncovered by the mud and sand cover, heavy fog diffuse water and up, can not see clearly inside the “clam ancestor” is a look, ancient guess rely on the “dragon house”. Guchai, relying on the underwater skills of the “Dragon Household”, used the “corpse” to lure the mother of pearl to move stupidly, open the shell and split the armor, wanting to swallow the “corpse” with a heavy Yin qi, and sucked and rolled the current to form a vortex. The water formed a whirlpool, Gu Cai a little slower than half a step, was actually sucked by the whirlpool, he was not able to struggle, has been trapped in the depths of the “mother of pearl” brought up by the mud and sand fog.

I stared at the eyes, heart anxious, immediately reached out and touched the diving explosives, want to go over to snatch out the ancient Guchai, now save a person is important, also do not care about whether the “clam ancestor” out of the deep stream, but at this time, suddenly feel in front of the impact of the water flow, the ancient Guchai also at the same time struggled to get out of the surging silt and smoke.

It turned out that the “mother of pearl” swallowed the sinewy and boneless “corpse” after a moment of intolerance of the female corpse in the body of the yin gas, clam armor division, and the “corpse” like spitting pearls like sprayed out, Guchai in the shell of the mussel. Inside the mussel shell, he cut a few pieces of mussel meat, mixed in the blood mist rushed out along the water current.

I hastily reached out to tug on Guchai’s arm, will he dragged in the turbulence, see him also since the shock, has been “mother of pearl” sucked into the shell no less than three times, the two of us to see the lead out of the “mussel ancestor”, do not dare to stay, pulling the dive rope and try their best to swim outward.

The outline of the clam ancestor can be seen vaguely, although it is not really see, but with the strong fluctuations in the water, can already feel that it is a huge body, moving slowly, attached to the reef wriggling out, chasing the “corpse” emitted by the yin qi and move from the “mother-of-pearl” in the sea. He climbed out of the “Mother of Pearl Sea”.

Egg people in the sea set “bead medium” to attract beads, originally is unusual, ordinary “bead medium” materials used, even the fish beads are not, only the choice of snails and mussels like food, mixed with some minced meat to mix, as a guide to make snails and mussels surrounded by the firm armor separation, take advantage of the opportunity to scrape mussels to take the beads, and this made of human skin to make the “beads”. This kind of “corpse” made of human skin is only used by the ancestors of the boat-dwelling people.

I and Gu Guai did not expect “corpse” will be so effective, by its Yin qi provocation, that mussel ancestor suddenly came out, we can not help but be a little underprepared, in a panic to escape, but also do not care to look back at the situation behind us, only to feel that behind us as a mass of holes, suction of the force of the strange slippery incomparable, if it is not to catch the tough dive rope, I am afraid that a little loose hands will be sucked by the turbulence. If I didn’t catch the tough diving rope, I was afraid that I would be sucked away by the turbulence if I let go.

Not to the exit of the mountain stream, the stream at the mouth of the turbulence and mother-of-pearl suction force to form the front and back of the situation, in which only feel sore hands and feet, in a burst of confusion in the submerged current feel the sky and the earth, coupled with the role of the water pressure, the mind some dizziness, and can not help but produce a kind of want to let go and let go of the dive rope of the idea.

Just in the moment of consciousness began to haze blurred, I felt a chill behind me, that ghostly feeling straight through the organs, subconsciously look back, through the frog mirror, only to see a brightly colored, but extraordinarily distorted woman’s face, just to my frog mirror.

That is the ancient guess behind the drag “corpse”, was driven by turbulence, together with the rope entangled in the dead baby behind me, although I know that the woman’s face, is the “corpse” soaked in water after the rise presented, and the longer in the water, the more vivid the description as life, but at such a close distance to see this human skin. Such a close distance to see the human skin of the five features, simply like in the smile, or feel the whole body chills through the bones, the original fuzzy sanity, on the contrary, has become clear, under a shock, the body of the body was born suddenly a force, with all the strength of the milk wildly tugging the diving rope, and Gu Guai in the gap in the turbulence, tumbling out of the “mother of pearl sea! The deep stream at the entrance of the “mother of pearl”.

Although the “mother of pearl” is greedy for the water yin gas, inherently afraid of “moon break” a kind of natural phenomenon, but perhaps it has lived for too long, perhaps it is the tomb of the dead fetus has long been qualitatively thousands of years, erosion of the gas of the sky has very little left to drive away the sharks can be dealt with the essence of the clam ancestor but can not play a role. The clam ancestor can not play a role, so it is hanging on my oxygen tank on the stillborn as if it were nothing, more and more forced closer and closer, closely followed the “corpse”, was led out of the mother-of-pearl sea.

Stream near the mouth of most of the fossilized coral in strange shapes and sizes, mussel ancestor here, there is no sand and smoke cover, I feel behind me floating light, a burst of bright as day, in a hurry to look back, only to see a whole body full of barnacle-like camouflage of the giant mussels behind us, that is the egg people rumored to be divine “mussel ancestor”! It is not as big as a mountain, about the size of a truck head, the appearance is similar to a rare basin-shaped “pearl oyster”, wave-like concave and convex surface of the clam shell, attached to a thick layer of pimpled marine sediment, apparently has been many years many years have not moved.

The clam ancestor of the clam armor is the most peculiar, not two fans in one, or spiral one, but six petals of the clam armor, left and right, up and down can be opened and closed sub-start, the shell has an exceptionally developed clam feet clam disk, clam armor suddenly open and close, even if it is a copper head and iron arm body was clamped, but also like a rolling knife cut by the cut by the amputation of limbs and broken body, just now the ancient Gu Guai was sucked into the inside is also intact, I’m afraid that only in the underwater in the electricity as electricity! I’m afraid that only the “Dragon Household” can be so lucky.

I turned back and just looked at a glance, I feel that the eyes were dawning a good burst of flowers, clam ancestor and ordinary snail mussel is very different, it is the bead capsule is very large, clam armor points at the time of the closure, the beads of light flashes, through the refraction of the water waves, turned out to be RuiCaiHongQi, people’s eyes for the capture, the God of the deterrent, around the “deep-water ghost octopus” ghost fire like light blue wave, at this time also reflect the color, the whole coral iron tree into a light blue. Lost color, the entire coral iron tree fossil, are hidden in the clam ancestor armor in a hundred beads of light shrouded, but the clam ancestor hidden in the seabed, perennial not see the real bright moon, the pregnant clam beads compared to the coral spiral sea area of the unusual pearl, the cold and cold gas is particularly deep, six huge clam armor open and close, a thousand wisps of rainbow gas also appeared out of nowhere.

I did not expect the mother of pearl to chase so close, look back, only feel the white light blinding, in an instant, the cold air and water suction increased greatly, the giant mussel firm armor suddenly open, I and Gu Gu guess were clam armor split and close the momentum of the cage, only if the mother of pearl of the six pieces of heavy armor wrapped tightly, even if it is not instantly clamped to death, but also by the clam ancestor will be sucked into the bead capsule.

Guchai underwater has become very violent and bloodthirsty, see the situation will want to repeat the same trick, want to retreat, shrinking into the clam armor, taking advantage of the bead shell closure time, inside the poke the refined old mussel a few knives.

But I see the clam ancestor swallowed a few times “corpse” after a female corpse skin in a grievances gradually disappeared, I’m afraid that the clam ancestor swallowed again, the corpse skin and beads on the coat of yin gas will disappear, mother of pearl will probably be wrapped directly into the bead capsule, and will not be easy to spit it out, with the ancient guess that short knife, want to slaughter such a huge clam in the shell, may not be able to succeed, and now we must not give up our lives and fight hard. At this moment must not give up their lives to fight, this idea in the heart of a turn, has seen Guchai quite knife body pounced back.

I hastily probe his hand to drag him, but Guchai in the water slipped like a loach, moving like a blackfish, my hand grabbed on his arm, like catching a slippery abnormal water snake, it is difficult to stay, slippery hand sent off, but fortunately pulled on his back binding “corpse” rope, immediately pull forward vigorously, Guchai dragged in the water around the He immediately pulled forward with all his strength, dragging Gu Cai in the water in a half circle.

At this time, the mother of pearl’s thick armor violently closed the Long, only half an inch short, will be Guchai feet clamped, that in the water to drag the kite-like “corpse” has been swallowed by the mussel ancestor in the shell, I and Guchai “corpse” on the rope entangled in a hurry, difficult to pull out, and that “mother of pearl” in the water to drag the “corpse” like a kite, the clam ancestor swallowed the shell. The “mother of pearl” swallowed the pearl medium, immediately firm armor ring closed, immobile as a mountain, giant armor slightly trembling, seems to be enjoying the corpse skin in the Yin grudge gas.

I push one hand canine teeth like tightly closed mussel armor, one hand drew out the short sword, cut the entanglement in the back of the rope, this is and Gu Guai draw out, at this time Shirley Yang and others in the coral tree under the eyes of the full, can not help but be alarmed, would like to swim over to help, but the incident was sudden, in the flash of lightening in the moment but simply too late, fortunately there are no casualties and succeeded in bringing the old mussel from the mother-of-pearl in the sea! Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the old clam was successfully lured out of the mother-of-pearl sea, and then hurriedly rushed over to encircle the “mother-of-pearl”.

“Mother of pearl sea” is also known as “Yinghai”, “Ying” is the ancient sea in the immortal mountain pronouns, also has the meaning of fairyland, in fact, is the egg people on the seabed beads pool or cave is also so called, in the feng shui In feng shui, it is called “Yinghai” or “Yingshu”, which is a place of goodness where life is not extinguished, and it is the place where the sea air is most abundant in the sea, and mother-of-pearl itself and “Yinghai” are an inseparable whole. It hides in the mother of pearl in the sea, through the sea of Yin essence of the gas spit shape refinement, can survive for a very long time, in the folk often say “thousands of years of the king of the eight 10,000 years of turtles, a hundred years of old hedgehogs,” the actual old turtles in the sea can live for 10,000 years is not necessarily not there, but found the oldest turtle age of eight hundred years.

Although the life span of marine organisms than the life on land to be long, but a thousand years of said or not quite in line with reality, mostly because it is difficult to judge, only described as “10,000 years”, mother-of-pearl mussel ancestor’s life expectancy should be in the three or four thousand years or so, once mussel ancestor away from the mother-of-pearl sea, the loss of sea life cohesion of the aura will be as old and rotten as a dying candle in the wind! Although it will not immediately age and die, it will lose its vitality, its flesh will collapse and shrink, and it will begin to die after exhausting the pearl essence in its body.

The “Mussel Ancestor” that we lured out, after swallowing the “Corpse”, closed its shell and stayed still, just as if it was drowsy, and was no longer as ferocious as it was in the “Yinghai”, and would no longer attack the frogmen and the eggs. It is no longer as fierce and fierce as it was in the “Yinghai”, and will no longer pose any substantial threat to the frogmen and the egg people.

I turned to the giant clam behind, stroking its clam armor, thought: “clam ancestor is the South China Sea spirit, get the essence of the sea, now the world’s overexploitation of resources, natural seawater pearls are few and far between, probably seven continents and eight oceans in the mother-of-pearl is still alive, adding up to a total of no three or two, we are afraid that this group of people’s age added up to not have it’s a fraction of a big, although it is the intention to leave it not to kill, but there is no other underwater But underwater there is no other way to take beads from such a large live clam, it seems that no poison is not a man, this time I can not help but black hand cruel.” So did under the cut gesture, let Uncle Ming and Gu Cai, more Ling this three egg people to do it, the profession has specialization, “slaughter mussels to take beads” is naturally the egg people Longtu the most skillful hooks.

Uncle Ming waved his hand to us, which probably means that there is no need to slaughter the clam ancestor, with the secret weapon handed down from the fisherman directly scrape the beads, and then let the old clam to perish on its own, and then took over the ancient sword in my hand, and Duo Ling Gu Gu Gui three people with the blade of the sword layer by layer to scrape off the clam shells of the sedimentary material of sea erosion.

Pearl harvesting in the sea, sometimes the whole of the old mussels together, take the mussel beads, mussel meat can not be wasted, with a pick knife will mussel meat alive from the shell scraping out, known as “scraping mussels”, but the bead pickers have boat-dwelling people in ancient times, the so-called “scraping mussels,” said, not Is an ordinary egg people to scrape mussels with sharp edges, ancient boat-dwelling people scraping mussels is a bronze water-splitting knife, dragged back and forth on the mussel shells, the copper blade in the undulating mussel armor drag, will make the armor in the mussel body feel a special vibration.

This vibration is extremely special, like the ancient gold digging “gold seedling”, see the gold vein should read the spell, otherwise the vein will be short, scraping the clam method seems to be that kind of bronze issued by the ancient spell, only the pattern cast with the fish and dragon totem of the ancient bronze blade, can play a deterrent role of the old mussels, the use of the bronze blade the older, the more obvious the effect is, the mother of pearl armor by a sharp blade of the mussels, the more the role of the mussels, the more obvious. Mother-of-pearl armor by the sharp edge of a scrape, like a scared lost soul, but also like the whole body anesthesia, the body muscle strength is completely eliminated, the shell armor loose, let the egg people pick the bead capsule, but also the slightest resistance struggle can not be.

I and fat man, Shirley Yang three people simply do not understand the mystery, this time only in the side to see the share, in the bottom of the water looked intently at Uncle Ming “scrape mussels” move, although usually think that Uncle Ming this old thief is used to bragging and showing off, it is a “Guan Ershi fart do not know the face of the red! “The old gambler old liar, but he did have a few good points, on the maritime and pouring the dead hook experienced, egg collection of all kinds of palms and anecdotes is extremely well known, because this pair of bronze sword is a secret weapon of the ancient times, there is no need to worship the master of the fishery, to the set of strange methods of Uncle Ming, and did not spend much effort, the clam ancestor of the colorful mussel armor has been exposed, the surface of the shell armor, bright red The surface of the shell armor bright red bone spines are densely covered, like a huge piece of colorful coral, it is like being hypnotized in general, trembling the clam shell opened a slit.
