Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Uncle Ming got on the boat, took off his diving helmet, and gasped, "What was that just now? Was it a dragon?"

Wang Kaixuan was squatting beside Hu Bayi. When he heard what Uncle Ming said, he turned to look at Hu Bayi and said, "What dragon? Did you see a dragon at the bottom of the sea?"

Hua Yu and others on the other side also heard Wang Kaixuan's voice.

Wang Kaixuan looked at Hubayi who was deep in thought, "Uncle Ming, are you seeing things? Where on earth can a dragon come from?"

When Uncle Ming heard that Fatty didn't believe him, he also gestured, "Uncle, I've been sailing for so many years, I've seen everything, and I saw it underwater and it was a hundred meters long and so thick, if it's not a dragon, what else could it be?"

Uncle Ming gestured that the thing was as thick as Wang Kaixuan's waist, so Wang Kaixuan had to believe what Uncle Ming said.

Wang Kaixuan: "Old Hu, did you really see a dragon down there?"

Yang Xueli recovered her breath and said, "It's not a dragon. I think it's a sea snake."

Hubayi came to his senses at this point, "It's not a dragon, Uncle Ming, you're seeing things, a dragon has claws and horns, that one only has horns but no claws."

Uncle Ming: "A sea snake? This big and long sea snake, this is the first time I've seen one."

Hubayi: "From ancient times to now, few people have been able to enter the Coral Spiral. It is located in a special dragon vein, so it is normal that it can nourish a large number of rare and exotic animals."

Yang Xueli: "But this kind of sea snake usually only lives in the deepest part of the ocean and doesn't come out to swim often."

At this time, there was a noise coming from the side of the boat. Everyone looked back and saw that it was Gu Cai hanging on the edge of the boat.

Bone Pick: "There's a big clam underneath, we'll need this."

With the help of Duoling, Gucai went onto the deck and pointed at the lifting device that had just sent Huba and three others into the water.

When Uncle Ming saw the size of the clam that Gu Cai measured, his waist and legs suddenly stopped hurting.

Not long after the bone was lowered along with the lifting device, Uncle Ming looked at the big clam that was slowly lifted up and smiled. Wang Kaixuan looked at Uncle Ming and knew that Uncle Ming must know something.

Wang Kaixuan: "Uncle Ming, why are you so excited? Even if someone buys this clam, it's a soft, black and boned clam. It has nothing to do with us."

Uncle Ming pointed at the large clam that had been placed there and said, "Fatty, you don't understand this, do you?"

Uncle Ming pointed at the two men, Ruanhei and his apprentice, who had dived into the water. "Didn't you hear what Gu Cai said just now? The moment the clam opened, it seemed to see a person lying inside."

Hubayi: "It's going to rain soon, you haven't fished enough yet!"

After putting the big clam away, Huba saw that there was no sign of the soft black and bone color coming up. He looked at the darkening sky and couldn't help but say something.

Uncle Ming: "Hu Zi, the sea is different from the land. Unless there is a big storm, the seabed is usually very calm. The wind and waves outside will not affect the seabed operations."

When Huba turned around, he just happened to hear what Uncle Ming said about the mermaid inside the clam. "Maybe there's the body of a clam dweller who died in disaster, waiting for you to collect the body!"

Uncle Ming: "Pah, pah, pah, children should not be restrained in their words."

Wang Kaixuan: "Uncle Ming, there really is a mermaid here! I always thought it was just a legend!"

Uncle Ming: "Mermaids are called mermen here, and they are kind-hearted species, but they are called sirens abroad. I heard that those mermaids abroad often sing in the dark night to lure passing sailors to catch and eat them."

Wang Kaixuan: "But, Uncle Ming, you must admit that this clam is really big."

Uncle Ming: "This is a man-eating clam, the scientific name is Giant clam. Look at the patterns on the shell, this clam is at least thousands of years old."

Yang Xueli stood aside and looked at the huge clam: "Human history is only a few thousand years old, but it has lived for thousands of years."

Wang Kaixuan was still explaining to them the origin of the clam, what was inside it, and so on.

Wang Kaixuan: "Uncle Ming! Let's open the clams first! We can talk about these things after we open the clams!"

Yang Xueli looked at the so-called blessing ceremony items that Duo Ling brought and said, "I'll go in first. I can't bear to see this."

Uncle Ming began his blessing ceremony and took out a special dagger from his waist. Duo Ling looked at the dagger in Uncle Ming's hand and said, "This is the Dragon Arc Dagger held by the leader of the Egg People in ancient times. This dagger can not only open clams to take pearls, but also fight evil fish underwater."

Fatty Wang looked at Duo Ling who was talking casually, and his face was almost smiling, "Duo Ling, you know a lot, I like people like you who know a lot."

After hearing this, Duoling smiled at Wang Kaixuan.

Uncle Ming held the dagger and slashed it along the clam shell's closure. "Uncle Ming, how did you pray for rain?"

Uncle Ming was mumbling something, and suddenly the clam shell quietly opened a small crack. Uncle Ming was overjoyed: "It's open, it's open, Duoling, go get the jack."

Hua Yu stood beside Zhang Qiling. Xiaohua had already been carried back to the room by Heixiazi to sleep. Zhang Haike and Zhang Haihua watched them return safely and went back to the cab to watch. Zhang Haitai and Zhang Haixian also came back to the room to rest.

Hua Yu yawned a few times when looking at the few people who were still hesitating and had not recovered yet. Finally, she could not hold on any longer and was picked up by Zhang Qiling and went back to the room to catch up on her sleep.

After Uncle Ming and Wang Kaixuan worked together to open the clam, Uncle Ming crawled inside and used a dagger to cut open the clam meat that was wrapped around something, then took out a jade-colored mermaid from inside.

Uncle Ming: "Duo Ling, go get the cloth."

Uncle Ming wrapped the little mermaid in cloth.

Wang Kaixuan looked at the opened clam and asked, "Uncle Ming, how do we deal with this clam?"

Huba looked at the clam that had been opened to take out its contents, and said reluctantly, "We've already got the stuff, let's just let it go!"

Uncle Ming was also anxious when he heard it, "Let it go, Huzi, you should know that this thing is worth a lot of money if you take it out."

Hubayi: "If you give, you must gain. Since you have already obtained the most precious thing, why do you still want to take your life?"

Wang Kaixuan always listened to Hubayi's words, "Uncle Ming, why don't we just let him go! This man has lived in fear here for so long, we can't just come and take his treasure and his life!"

While Uncle Ming and Huba and Wang Kaixuan were still confronting each other, Ruanhei and Gucai also got on the boat.

Uncle Ming seemed to have found a backer, "Brother Ruan, Hu Zi said he wants to release the things you brought here with so much difficulty."

Soft Black looked at the sky, then at what Uncle Ming was holding, "The Egg People depend on the sky for their livelihood, and they won't kill the goose that lays the eggs."

Uncle Ming was silent now, and the minority could only obey the majority.

Huba took the little mermaid from Uncle Ming and hugged her tightly in his arms, then signaled Uncle Ming to put the clam back.

Strangely enough, after the man-eating clam was released back into the sea, the rain stopped.

In the evening, Fatty Wang and Uncle Ming were holding a piece of cloth and a pearl that was emitting a bright jade-like light.

Before they could even laugh, the cloth on their heads was lifted and the pearls in their hands were taken away by Hubayi. Wang Kaixuan looked at the pearls and opened his mouth.
