The vast swamp is boundless, and the distance between here and the Dragon City Fortress is more than a thousand kilometers. It is deep into the hinterland of the Orc Tribe Alliance, and due to the special environment of the swamp, there is no trace of human habitation.
From a distance, this large swamp that stretches for thousands of miles appears a dark green color that is close to pure black. It is not because the abundant water in the swamp is dirty. In fact, the water here is very clean and clear.
Visual distortion caused by philodendron.
Even for the powerful orcs, Blackwater Daze is a very dangerous area.
In particular, the core area of the swamp is home to many powerful and difficult monsters. They often occupy territory and live in clusters. Once outsiders invade the territory, they will inevitably attack in groups without fear of death.
Therefore, even the Beast God Knight will not go deep into the Blackwater Daze easily.
But today the tranquility deep in the swamp was completely broken. Giant clams floated on the water, struggling to flap their huge clam shells, and shot ice arrows exuding cold air into the sky!
The diameter of a giant clam is more than two meters, and the largest one is more than three meters. The ice arrows they shoot are extremely sharp, not only extremely fast, but also carrying terrifying ice magic.
Although the level of this giant swamp clam is not very high, in the face of the volley attacks of hundreds of giant clams, even the black dragon crocodile and the three-eyed giant python that dominate the Blackwater Daze do not dare to attack directly.
Its front.
However, the ice arrow shot by the giant clam seemed to hit an invisible copper wall half a meter away from the enemy, and instantly turned into powder and fell, without causing any damage.
Although they worked together to stop the enemy, the result was completely overwhelming!
Zuo Yi slowly descended from the sky.
He casually reached out and grabbed it, and a giant clam that was not far away and nearly three meters in size was suddenly picked up in the air.
Leaving the water where it relied for survival, the giant clam's ability was immediately greatly weakened. It realized that something was wrong, so it quickly closed its shell and acted like a shrunken turtle in an attempt to resist.
The thickness of the shell of the giant swamp clam will become thicker as the year of growth increases, and it can thicken by about one millimeter a year. The shell of this giant clam photographed by Zuo Yi is ten centimeters thick, and it is over a hundred years old.
Because the clam shell is formed by the giant clam swallowing a special black iron sand at the bottom of the swamp, it is extremely hard in texture.
Even the Black Dragon Crocodile, which has an extremely terrifying bite force, cannot easily break its hard shell.
It's a pity that it met Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi took the giant clam in front of him, scanned it with his mental power, and already understood its secret.
He waved, and the giant clam rotated accordingly, turning its fat and bulging back.
Zuo Yi pulled out the meteor dagger and waved it with his hand.
laugh!
An indestructible blade cut into the joint between the two clamshells on the back of the giant clam like lightning, forcibly cutting it apart and going deep inside to kill the giant clam's vitality.
The originally sealed clam shell split open, revealing the raw mussel meat inside.
Zuo Yi continued to swing the dagger and cut off two adductor muscles. One of them was as thick as a sea bowl, crystal white and cold.
The adductor muscle of the giant clam is commonly known as the scallop. This is the most essential part of the giant clam and the top delicacy in the wild world. Because it is extremely difficult to hunt, it is difficult for even the royal family of the human race to enjoy it.
After taking off the Yao Zhu, Zuo Yi reached out and grabbed a black pearl hidden deep in the clam flesh.
In the process of devouring black iron sand, giant swamp clams sometimes inhale black iron ore crystals.
Black iron ore crystals are the essence of black iron sand. Giant clams cannot integrate them into their shells, and unexpectedly cannot spit them out. As a result, they secrete crystal glue to wrap them up, and finally form clam beads.
Not all giant swamp clams will breed clam beads. In fact, the number of clam beads is very small, and it takes enough years to breed into real black water clam beads, so they are very expensive.
Black water clam beads are not only very beautiful, but also contain rich water magic power, making them a top-quality material used to make magic equipment.
Placing a black water clam bead in the room will make the hot summer feel less stuffy, and the water vapor it releases will have a more nourishing effect on the skin.
The black water clam bead that Zuo Yi just obtained is worth enough to be exchanged for a territory in the wealthy areas of the three kingdoms.
In fact, the reason why he went deep into the Blackwater Daze was just to collect ingredients.
The black water clam beads were a completely unexpected harvest.
Zuo Yi had heard all about the Blackwater Daze from Bonn before. The Seles businessman was well-informed and experienced. In the process of acting as Zuo Yi's guide, he told him many anecdotes about the wild world.
Interesting facts.
Putting the Yao Zhu and the black water clam into the space ring, Zuo Yi threw away the rest of the giant swamp clam, then picked up the second giant clam and did the same thing.
He only picked large clams for collection, leaving those that were smaller in size.
As aquatic monsters, swamp giant clams have a very low intelligence level and rely more on instinct to act. At the beginning, they besieged the intruder Zuo Yi without fear of death, regardless of the casualties of their companions.
But when Zuo Yi harvested more than ten giant clams, the remaining giant clams realized that they had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy and that their previous invincible tactics would not have any effect. They finally became afraid.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Hundreds of giant clams spit out icy water vapor, instantly creating a large area of fog, and then fled underwater one after another.
This is their usual escape tactic. Once they reach the bottom of the water and then burrow into the mud, they can avoid most powerful enemies.
Of course, such tricks are basically useless against Zuo Yi. If he wants to chase him, he can easily dig out the giant clam even if it burrows hundreds of meters into the mud.
But Zuo Yi is not here to exterminate the clan today. The scallops collected by the eleven giant clams are enough.
There are also three black water clam beads as gifts.
So Zuo Yi let go of the other giant clams, summoned the griffin, and returned to the Dragon City Fortress.
There was a little incident on the way home. An Orc aerial cavalry team discovered Zuo Yi and chased him in an attempt to intercept him.
However, when they saw Zuo Yi's appearance clearly, they immediately fled in all directions, not daring to attack at all.
One of the orc aerial riders was probably too panicked and accidentally fell off the back of his mount. Fortunately, he instinctively grabbed the mount's paws and survived.
It was really embarrassing to the extreme!
After two wars, Zuo Yi's reputation has now spread throughout the Orc Tribe Alliance, and the other party has obviously recognized his identity.
Zuo Yi was too lazy to pay attention to these little minions. After returning to Dragon City Fortress, he teleported back to the Blue Star World through the World Stone.
When he returned to his old house in Linjiang, it was just getting dark.
