Chapter 38: The Old Clam at the Bottom of the Sea

  Chu Feng was too busy to care for himself, how could he dare to provoke that big shark again? He just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

  Going up is the entrance, and the big shark is still guarding it. Chu Feng naturally didn't dare to provoke it, so there was only one way left, going down.

  Below, however, it was not dark, but reflected a soft and weak light.

  Chu Feng walked down about four or five meters when the bright light became even more distinct, and he couldn't help but feel greatly astonished.

  To know in the ocean, the deeper you go, the dimmer the light should be, but why did it change when I got here?

  When things go wrong, there must be evil spirits at work.

  Chu Feng heard this sentence and didn't know how many times, so he was certain that there must be something extraordinary below.

  The speed of the dive also slowed down, and his heart became more cautious.

  When he was about six or seven meters away from the sandy beach near the shore, he finally saw clearly what caused the abnormality. It turned out to be a large clam, and beside it were dozens of small clams.

  The giant clamshell was wide open, and inside, a few shiny spots reflected light, illuminating the entire sea area.

  Chu Feng's eyes were sharp and he immediately spotted the pearl, about the size of a longan, inside the clamshell. He was overjoyed to discover that the treasure was here.

  He immediately swam past quickly, but when the old clam saw Chu Feng approaching, it suddenly closed its shell with a loud bang. Suddenly, the light in the cave dimmed, and although it wasn't pitch black, within a meter, it was difficult to see what was around him.

  If he didn't know there were pearls here, that would be fine. Since he knew, how could Chu Feng give up? He directly swam towards the old oyster, stretched out his turtle claws and slapped one down.

  "Crack!" A crisp sound, Chu Feng's turtle claws were in pain, but the old clam was fine.

  After this, Chu Feng knew that the old clamshell was hard and no longer thought of directly shattering the shell to take out the pearl. He used his divine sense to lock onto the old clam and a group of small clams following behind him.

  Capture the thief first, capture the king of thieves. However, it's hard to take the old shell now, so Chu Feng reverses his approach and takes it from the small shell instead.

  The shell of the small clam is far less hard than that of the old clam. After being slapped by Chu Feng, the shell of the small clam loosened, and three slaps could open a shell.

  Then Chu Feng didn't stay and directly rushed towards Xiao Hong.

  That old clam seemed to have sensed Chu Feng's thoughts, and as he was about to open the second shell, it suddenly stretched out its long tongue and wrapped itself around Chu Feng.

  The tongue was covered with a strong fishy smell, like a long strip, sweeping over, Chu Feng felt a hint of danger, his tortoise body lightly jumped up to avoid the old clam's attack, and then turned around, but it was even more powerful, slapping towards a small clam.

  "Bang!"

  The small clam could not withstand the increased force, and its shell was instantly cracked open by a slap from Chu Feng. Inside, there was a black pearl, slightly smaller in diameter than a five-angle coin, which fell into the sea water.

  The faint light reflected on this piece of sea area made it brighter and also made Chu Feng's line of sight less obstructed.

  The less mental energy Chu Feng expended, the more energy he could use in battle, and his combat strength increased by another notch compared to when he first started.

  Since the old turtle wanted to save those little turtles, things became much easier. However, he directly attacked the old turtle but couldn't succeed, so he specifically targeted those little turtles for attack.

  Chu Feng slapped a small clam with one palm, and the old clam's long tongue came out again. However, Chu Feng suddenly turned around, abandoned the small clam, and instead used his double claws to grab the old clam's long tongue.

  The old turtle realized Chu Feng's intention, but it was too late. The turtle claw directly grasped the long tongue and tore out a deep gash, splitting the long tongue in two.

  The old turtle was in great pain and finally became furious. It no longer cared about anything else, opened its shell wide, stretched out its long tongue, and was about to roll Chu Feng into it.

  Chu Feng transformed into a mysterious turtle's body, although swimming speed in the water was not fast, but his body was flexible enough, he could let the old oyster wrap around him, and then with a flip, dodged the old oyster's long tongue. After that, his body charged forward again, taking advantage of this gap to get closer to the old oyster.

  But the old turtle was still unenlightened and didn't feel anything as Chu Feng approached, its rage only causing it to spit out its long tongue even more violently.

  A huge tongue, all rolled up.

  Chu Feng flashed again, avoiding the long tongue, and his body continued to swim forward. His idea was simple: he had to get close to the old clam, push his hard turtle shell into the clamshell, and make it impossible for the old clam to close its mouth. At that time, whether the old clam lived or died would be up to him to decide.

  The old clam saw the Chu wind approaching its body within a foot, and it was anxious. It directly spat out the dark and shiny pearl from inside its shell, using it as a hidden weapon.

  Chu Feng saw Old Turtle doing this and suddenly shouted in his heart: You've come at just the right time!

  He then made a sudden turn with his body, barely avoiding the black pearl's attack. The turtle shell slightly flipped over, and his two claws gently hugged, as if he wanted to hold the pearl in his arms.

  The old clam knew the danger, its long tongue quickly turned, controlling the black pearl in mid-air, and with a flick, it opened Chu Feng's double claws. Then, with a light swallow, it wanted to swallow the pearl back into the clamshell.

  How can Chu Wind let it get away with it, and after much difficulty, it finally lured it to spit out the pearl. If it swallows it back again, I'm afraid it will be hard to make it spit it out again.

  After the transformation of the Black Turtle, Chu Feng gained some understanding of animals and knew that this pearl oyster was also cultivable. However, their way of cultivation was a bit special and required external assistance, which was the pearl itself.

  They can also be called external elixirs. Only when this external elixir is cultivated to the extreme, can one transform and complete the transformation.

  Most pearls are pink, but this old oyster in front of me is a black pearl, a natural freak. Chu Feng would not let it go.

  So he saw the old oyster about to swallow back the pearl, and suddenly the turtle shell flipped violently, stirring up a stream of water, which happened to interfere with the direction of the pearl's reflux.

  So the old turtle's long tongue was rolled up and couldn't achieve anything.

  But Chu Feng's body didn't stop there, his back foot kicked out with great force, and it just so happened to kick the Black Pearl far away.

  Then his body rushed forward, regardless of Lao Bao, and rushed towards the black pearl, wanting to take the black pearl as his own at this time.

  But the black pearl was the old clam's lifelong cultivation, how could it be abandoned. The long tongue of the clam suddenly stopped on the sandy ground, and its body also swung up with force, flying towards the black pearl.

  A turtle and a clam, in this sea area, for the sake of competing for this black pearl, launched a life-and-death duel.

  In fact, in a strict sense, Chu Feng has already taken the upper hand, he can retreat at any time, but Lao Bao cannot.

  So Chu Wind had a great psychological advantage, he saw the old turtle coming and was not surprised, opened his mouth and swallowed fiercely, with his sharp teeth biting off a long piece of the turtle's tongue.

  The old clam was in pain and extremely angry, its shell wide open, the entire body exposed. It was either dizzy or not very intelligent to begin with, and it actually tried to use its shell to clamp down on Chu Feng and swallow him whole.

  Chu Feng was not surprised but delighted by this turn of events and took advantage of the situation to directly drill into the clamshell.

  Under the sea, the clamshell shook violently for a long time before slowly opening again. Inside, it was empty and desolate. The Chu Wind leisurely strolled out from within, its body seemingly larger than before. It stored the black pearl in the ring, then proceeded to tap open the remaining dozen or so small clams, collecting their black pearls as well. Only then did it swim out of the seabed.
