Chapter 408 The Great Harvest

The bottom of the sea is vast, and the sediment and sea water are indistinguishable, as if they were crumpled into a ball, looking hazy.

Under the illumination of the lights, there are many fine off-white particles floating in the seawater, which seem to be floating dust on the bottom of the sea, or some tiny biological debris.

There are very few active creatures visible to the naked eye, and there are only dead silences.

On the seabed more than ten meters ahead, there is a slightly flat dark brown stone.

The stone is about one meter long, and it seems to have been lying on the seabed for a long time. The surface is uneven, full of pits, with a lot of sand attached to it, and a small part of the whole is embedded in the sand.

"That's not a rock." Sarah smiled slightly, "Master Captain, don't underestimate the camouflage ability of these underwater creatures, especially weak creatures like pearl oysters."

The path of biological evolution is full of magic.

Some creatures have evolved powerful fangs and claws, and climbed to the top of the food chain with terrifying fighting power.

And some creatures have evolved advanced intelligence, and with their strong creative ability, they can also stand at the top of the food chain.

And some creatures...

For example, the piece in front of me looks like a stone, but it is actually a pearl oyster that has grown for more than ten years.

They don't have strong power, and their IQ is not high enough. On the road of evolution, most of the abilities they acquire are camouflage and life-saving.

After Sarah's reminder, Su Xia put on the life perception glasses.

"It's really a pearl oyster."

He looked around, and the whole world instantly changed.

Before putting on the glasses, the surrounding underwater world was cold and dead, without a trace of life, as if it was a forgotten corner of the world.

After wearing it, Su Xia saw countless light spots representing life.

In the seabed sand below the submarine, one after another is hidden, some are worm-like, some are crab-like, and some are flat fish.

In the dark and hazy sea water around, there are also marine creatures floating one by one.

The entire underwater world has changed its appearance, and it is a scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing for development!

More than ten meters ahead, that black reef-like flat stone, in the world displayed by the life perception glasses, has a shape like a sea clam.

"Do you use the fishing system directly?" Su Xia asked.

"Yes."

Sarah smiled slightly: "Master Captain, I can control the capture, or you can control the capture yourself, it's up to you to choose."

Su Xia didn't think much about it: "Go ahead, I haven't practiced before, so I'm afraid it will escape from my hands."

"Ok."

Sarah waved her hand lightly, only to hear a buzzing sound, and the entire submarine shook, as if a certain module had been activated.

At the same time, a picture appeared on the screen in front of Su Xia's left.

In the picture, there is a three-dimensional composition of the entire submarine.

It can be seen that under the submarine, a hatch was opened, and two off-white mechanical arms protruded from the door.

Under Sarah's control, the two mechanical arms moved forward slowly, like the big hands of a steel giant, gradually getting longer, and getting closer to the stone-shaped pearl oyster in front of it.

At this moment, the pearl oyster seemed to feel something and moved!

"brush--"

It suddenly broke away from the piece of sand where it was hiding, and the water surged, setting off a burst of gray floating dust on the seabed, making the seawater in the front area turbid, as if it wanted to interfere with the enemy's vision.

Then, its upper and lower clam shells opened and closed, stimulating a stream of water, and relying on this reaction force, it pushed itself to escape.

This was the first time Su Xia saw clam shells swimming.

The black pearl oyster in front, the upper and lower shells stretched out like a big mouth, one high and one low, one opening and one closing, the scene of escaping is very funny.

Although it's a bit funny, its escape speed is not slow at all. Every time it spouts sea water, it can jump more than ten meters away.

Moreover, it is close to the seabed, and the seawater ejected can also stir up the sediment on the seabed, making the area in front of it even more turbid, making it almost impossible to see clearly.

"Gollum..."

Some underwater creatures hidden in the sand were disturbed by him, and also joined the fleeing army.

It can be seen that a dark-brown, about one meter long seabed worm rushed past, cruising to the far left, and escaped from this area.

Several other flat-bodied sea fish fled in different directions in the gray and turbid sea water.

Under the agitation of various creatures, the seabed became more and more cloudy.

"It's going to run away." Su Xia reminded.

"Don't worry, Captain, he won't let him escape."

Sarah smiled slightly, controlled the submarine, moved forward slowly, and followed behind the big pearl oyster without haste.

Below the submarine, the two robotic arms approached little by little like the wrists of Death.

The big sea clam did try its best and tried every means to escape, but in the face of modern technology, everything was in vain. In the end, it still failed to escape the clutches of the submarine. It was firmly controlled by two mechanical arms, and could no longer break free.

"It's not easy to see it. After taking the pearl, let it go." Su Xia said, "If you take the pearl, it shouldn't die, right?"

"No, the captain must believe in the vitality of the Zerg creatures."

Conventional cultured sea mussels or river mussels will die after removing the pearls.

Because it is very troublesome to get pearls without killing clams, and ordinary workers have no patience, they basically kill clams to get pearls, and most of the remaining mussel meat is made into feed and eaten, and the shells are also ground to make feed or polished into handicrafts with ornaments.

Below, the two mechanical arms slowly returned, carrying the sea clam back to the cabin of the submarine.

Subsequently, the hatch was sealed and the seawater was discharged.

"Captain, you can go get the pearl now." Sarah said with a smile.

"Okay, let me see."

Su Xia got up from the seat, bent over, and went to the small cabin where the pearl oyster was caught.

The cabin is just behind the submarine, and the space is not large, and the hatch above is on the floor of Susha's floor.

"Om-"

A crack appeared in the floor, and the hatch of the cabin below slowly opened to the left and right sides, and a damp ocean breath rushed in.

Su Xia, who was standing on top, narrowed her eyes slightly, and through the narrow hatch, she saw the pockmarked pearl oyster.

At this moment, this big clam has been firmly controlled by more than a dozen small mechanical locking devices in the cabin, and it cannot move, like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

[Phantom Blue Sea Clam: Shame of the Zerg, one of the few Zerg creatures with the weakest combat power, almost no combat ability]

[Because of its ability to absorb psionic energy, this creature is often hunted and killed by other Zerg as a tonic]

A reminder popped up in front of Su Xia's eyes. It was the phantom blue sea clam that specially produced sea blue pearls, the shame of the Zerg that was extremely famous in the starry sky.

[The sea clam has survived for 14 years, and there are seven sea blue pearls of different sizes in its body]

For 14 years, it is considered an old mussel, no wonder it can grow to a size of one meter.

At this moment, although the old clam couldn't move, there was a gurgle of water overflowing from the cracks in the shell, as if crying, as if begging Su Xia to let him go.

Suddenly, Su Xia felt a strange mental fluctuation.

"So that's the case, no wonder the combat power is so weak, it turns out to be a spiritual creature!"

In the mental fluctuations that this old clam passed on to Su Xia, there was sadness, sadness, and a desire for life.

Although it can't speak human words, it expresses exactly the same meaning.

Su Xia couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really refined!"

Sarah's illusory body stood beside him, and said with a light smile, "According to records, this pearl oyster does have a special spiritual ability, which can cause slight disturbance to the enemy."

"Just a little?" Su Xia asked.

"It's not strong enough at the moment."

Sarah explained: "It is said that some hundred-year-old sea clams create extremely powerful mental disturbances, and even cause people to hallucinate."

According to the information, some crew members experienced hallucinations when they were fishing for this kind of sea mussels.

From their descriptions, it can be known that in their hallucinations, they saw this kind of sea clam slowly open, and there was a woman with a sad and beautiful expression inside the shell.

The moment they saw the woman, they felt unbearable and compassionate, and couldn't help but let many sea oysters go.

"Clam Fairy?" Su Xia was startled, thinking of a certain folk legend inexplicably.

Is there such a sea clam on the other side of the earth?

On the other side of the earth, there are many rumors about clam fairies, not only in China, but also abroad.

Su Xia wanted to see what the clam shell fairy was like, but unfortunately, this sea clam only had a lifespan of more than ten years, so it was not easy to convey a wave of spirit, and it was impossible to create a real illusion.

"Presumably this is one of the ways for this race to escape." Su Xia Mingwu.

Since this kind of clamshell can cause unexpected disturbance to humans, it can naturally cause similar disturbance to other predators.

At this time, Su Xia received a second mental wave.

The mental wave conveyed by this old clam indicated that he was willing to give all the pearls he produced to Su Xia, as long as Su Xia could let him live.

"Don't worry, I didn't intend to kill you." Su Xia comforted, "I have compassion in my heart. I have never killed an ant in my life. My hands are clean and never stained with blood. I am not a bloodthirsty person. "

After feeling Su Xia's kindness, Lao Bang also released a wave of kindness.

Su Xia nodded slightly, and then said to Sarah: "Let go of the control."

"Ok."

Sarah waved her hand lightly, hummed a few times, and the dozen or so mechanical arm devices slowly retracted, no longer controlling the old clam's movements.

Then, the old clam's body trembled slightly.

It still seemed a little scared, but it still fulfilled its promise. The upper and lower shells slowly opened and closed, revealing the mussel meat and seven sea blue pearls inside.

The clam meat is dark red and very thin, as if several layers of fleshy films are attached to the inside of the clam shell.

Those seven pearls are in one layer of meat membrane.

The old clam spit out lightly, its body trembled, as if it had breathed a few times, the pearls in the fleshy film seemed to be squeezed, and were squeezed to the outermost layer little by little.

Then, there was only a light snap.

The first pearl was squeezed out of the shell and landed on the floor of the cabin.

"You don't need to use a knife." Su Xia looked curiously. The structure of this Zerg sea mussel is very different from that of common river mussels, and it can squeeze out pearls by itself.

This also saved Su Xia a lot of trouble, as long as she watched the old clam move.

A gray-white alloy mechanical arm moved forward slowly, gently picked up the pearl, and slowly moved it up to Su Xia.

This pearl is cold to the touch, dark blue all over, with soft ripples and flashes in the light, dreamlike, beautiful and moving, as if it condenses the depth and blueness of the entire sea.

"According to Andrew, the value of this pearl should be around 60, which is pretty good." Su Xia estimated.

Among the seven pearls, the size of this pearl is only medium.

Immediately afterwards, the old clam spat out five more pearls in a row, the largest one was bigger than Su Xia's fist, and a circle bigger than the largest pearl in Andrew's collection.

In the end, only the smallest one remained.

The old clam conveyed another mental wave, expressing that he wanted to leave a psychic pearl as his own energy supply.

These pearls were originally psionic crystal blocks, if they spit them all out, they would fall into a weak state for a long period of time, and would be extremely easy to be hunted and killed by other predators.

In fact, it planned to spit out all the pearls to save its life, but found that Su Xia was more talkative, so it carefully begged to keep one.

"Okay, stay here."

Su Xia saw that it left only the smallest one, which was of little value, so she waved her hand.

Later, Lao Bang expressed his willingness to return to the sea.

The pearls are all given out, and it is useless, I just want to find a place to hide.

Su Xia didn't make things difficult for it, and asked Sarah to open the hatch and let the old clam out.

"farewell."

Susha returned to the seat in front of the submarine.

Under his gaze, the old clam opened and closed its upper and lower shells, and the two clam shells were like a pair of wings, quickly drifting away with the old clam.

Some people say that shells are butterflies in the sea, which is true.

"Captain, are you satisfied with the harvest?" Sarah asked him with a smile.

"very satisfied!"

The total value of the six pearls that Su Xia obtained exceeds 500 million, which is a big harvest.

This kind of money-making speed is really shocking, and it is not so fast to pick up money.

Of course, this is also because Su Xia was lucky, and just entered the bottom of the sea, she saw such an old clam that was more than ten years old.

"These pearls cannot be sold." Su Xia carefully put away the six pearls. "I need to improve my strength now. These psionic pearls can just extract enough psionic potions."

Su Xia has many opponents, such as Moser who just fought not long ago.

He knew well that if he fought head-on, he would not be Moser's opponent at all. Moser just underestimated the enemy last time, and he would not have such good luck next time.

"Life should be firmly in your own hands, and you can't rely on luck every time." Su Xia deeply understands this truth.

You know, Moser is only one of the top executives of the machine clan, and the real powerful opponent is the legendary master.

According to rumors, that master may have surpassed the category of a sixth-level creature. He is like a high black wall, weighing heavily on the hearts of every rebel member, making everyone breathless.

"Master Captain, do you have a refining method?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, I have a psionic filter."

Su Xia has two psionic filters in her hand, one of which is called [alienation filter], which is a three-no product, that is, the one that used Zerg glands to extract psionic energy before.

The other one was obtained in the task [Deep Buried Hell], named [New Psionic Filter].

This filter can not only extract the psychic energy of the Zerg, but also extract it from other organisms or objects that contain psychic energy, and it is not a Sanwu product, and it is certified by Orok.

Su Xia plans to throw the alienation filter in the corner of the warehouse to eat ashes, and use a new type of filter in the future.

"These pearls are not enough!" Su Xia said seriously, "Let's go, let's continue fishing, as many as we have!"

He wants to get enough psychic potions at the bottom of the sea, and then quietly become stronger, shocking everyone!
