Chapter 109 Old Clam Pearl
By the river, the boy stopped what he was doing. He snorted coldly, "I'll teach you a lesson!"
However, he suddenly discovered that Jiang Youzhen was no longer in the water, and he immediately panicked.
"Hey! Come up here!" He pushed the fishing rod into the water, but didn't hit anything. Then he immediately lay down at the mouth of the hole and looked down.
This made him even more panicked. Where was Jiang Youzhen in the cave? He didn't even know where he was.
When he looked up and saw the smooth river surface, he panicked, "Hey! Stop pretending, get up here!"
Jiang Youzhen's mind was a little confused at the moment and he couldn't hear the system's reward notification sound at all.
[Put the water-repellent beads in your mouth quickly] the system prompted urgently.
Letting the last bit of consciousness remaining in his mind command his body, Jiang Youzhen took out a shiny bead the size of a thumbnail from the system space and stuffed it into his mouth.
As soon as I took the water-repellent beads, my mind suddenly became clear, as if a lot of oxygen had entered my lungs, the water pressure disappeared, and my body became very agile.
Jiang Youzhen opened her eyes and looked around. She found that she was surrounded by a transparent bubble. She poked it with her hand and found it was very firm and elastic.
She felt herself revived, breathing easily, and feeling more comfortable in the water than on land.
"Tongzi! It seems that you still can't bear to part with me. Can't you give me such a good thing as a reward earlier?"
Jiang Youzhen said as he directed the transparent bubble to move forward. Huh? It can move its mind at will without having to walk. Not bad! Not bad!
The water-repellent beads seemed to glow, illuminating a hundred meters ahead. Wow! No underwater lighting was needed.
System: Hehe
[You are so lucky. You didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise. ]
"Didn't you plan this? Tell me, can you predict the future?"
[What…what do you mean by foresight? If I were a foresight, I would definitely not choose…]
"What not to choose? Huh?" Jiang Youzhen raised his eyebrows. This Tongzi still has complaints about him? He hasn't even gotten used to it yet!
【Going to move bricks! 】
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly and checked the skills awarded this time. He found that there was also the mermaid’s singing skill?
How magical! Why do I feel that the rewards are becoming more and more magical? In the past, the rewards of mixed liquids and the like could really be made with the recipe, but this time, the rewards are all very magical skills and items.
I am really looking forward to the system more and more. Jiang Youzhen was thinking this when a huge grass carp suddenly swam by his side.
Huh? There are some water creatures ready, why not try this skill?
Jiang Youzhen decided to use the skill, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Ah~Ah~Ah~"
What the hell? Isn't it singing? That's all you can do? It's so bad, it's terrible! What kind of aquatic creature would be fascinated by such a sound?
Jiang Youzhen was about to start complaining about the system when he saw the grass carp next to him suddenly stick out its tail, flip over on its belly, and fall down.
Huh? It actually works wonders? The results are immediate!
Jiang Youzhen went forward and hugged the grass carp. Could it be that he fainted because the sound was unpleasant?
No matter what, as long as it works, it's fine. Jiang Youzhen was delighted, haha! There's nothing I can do, this cheating life is so cool!
Ouch! Oh, I forgot about the kid by the river! He should pay the price, right?
Jiang Youzhen was about to leave when he suddenly found a big river clam in front of him.
The river clam was really huge, bigger than a seven or eight year old child. At this moment, the two shells of the clam were opening and closing, which was very pleasant.
Just as the clam shell opened and closed, Jiang Youzhen actually saw pearls emitting bright and shiny light in its mouth. There were more than one of them, and they were all very large.
I took a deep breath. What should I do? I couldn't bear to see the other person so comfortable.
The pearls were lining up and waving at him, so Jiang Youzhen naturally couldn't go against his inner wishes.
He walked quickly towards the big clam, and when the clam saw Jiang Youzhen coming, it immediately closed its mouth.
Jiang Youzhen walked around it and took out a dagger from the storage space. The clam actually began to tremble.
Seeing the clam shaking non-stop, Jiang Youzhen felt it was magical. Was this clam a spirit? How could it even be afraid?
But in this case, Jiang Youzhen couldn't bear to do it. It wasn't easy for the other person to live for so many years!
"Oh, clam! I really don't want to kill you, but what should I do if I want your pearl?"
Jiang Youzhen thought about it and wondered if he could use the mermaid's singing skill to make the river clam spit out the pearls by itself. Even if it didn't spit out the pearls by itself, it would be fine if I could just pick them up myself!
[How shameless! Can't you wait until the person dies of old age before taking it? ] The system snorted!
"What do you know? I'm kind-hearted, otherwise I would have used violence long ago!" Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes. The system was indeed not a good thing.
System: This host is indeed not a good person.
Just as Jiang Youzhen was about to start singing, the river clam shook and then spit out a pink bead larger than his thumb nail.
Hmm? Jiang Youzhen was stunned, and quickly stepped forward to hold the pearl in his hand.
"What do you mean? Bribe me?" Jiang Youzhen was confused. He searched his brain for knowledge. Can river clams spit out pearls by themselves? Can they? Can they?
"Such a big pearl, with such a bright color and so round, it will definitely sell for a lot of money." Jiang Youzhen's face was full of joy. The river clam shook its body and spit out two round white pearls, both as big as the nail of the index finger.
"Clam! He who knows the current affairs is a hero! It is true that the clam is old and wise!" Jiang Youzhen's eyes flashed with brilliance.
"But you met such a kind person like me, this bribe is not enough for me. Anyway, it's useless for you to come to the pearls. You can produce pearls when you are alive, right? Can you give me some more?"
Hearing this, the clam spirit suddenly closed its shell tightly.
"Since you want to do this, I won't be polite." Jiang Youzhen began to sing mermaid songs without any hesitation. The big river clam staggered at first as if it was drunk, and after about two or three minutes it became quiet and opened its shell.
Jiang Youzhen seemed to be lost in thought, as if she had discovered a pattern.
It seems that the length of time this skill can control power depends on the species and size of the aquatic creature, or the intelligence and mental power of the aquatic creature itself.
The big grass carp fell into coma very quickly and hasn't woken up yet, but this big river clam took about two or three minutes to fall into coma.
In other words, if facing larger aquatic creatures, Jiang Youzhen's control ability will be different. The bigger and more intelligent they are, the more difficult they will be to control.
But there is no need to figure all this out for now, let’s just focus on treasure hunting.
Jiang Youzhen rubbed her hands and wanted to put her hand into the clam shell. Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her hand, a golden bead the size of a lychee began to spit out from the clam shell.
She rubbed her eyes and quickly scooped it up in her hands. The brilliant light almost blinded her eyes.
