Papa Paladin

  The vast and vast swamp is boundless. The distance between this place and the Dragon City Fortress is more than a thousand kilometers, deep into the hinterland of the Beast Tribe Alliance, and coupled with the special environment of the swamp, there is no trace of human habitation.

Seen from a distance, this large swamp that stretches for thousands of miles is dark green close to pure black, not because the water in the swamp is extremely abundant and dirty. In fact, the water here is very clean and clear. Visual bias caused by creeper grass.

  Even for the mighty orcs, the Heishui Daze is a very dangerous area.

  Especially in the core area of ​​the swamp, there are many powerful and difficult monsters. They often occupy the territory and live in clusters.

  So even a Beast Knight would not easily go deep into the Blackwater Marsh.

  But today, the tranquility in the depths of the swamp was completely broken. Giant clams were floating on the water, flapping their huge shells vigorously, and shooting ice arrows into the sky that exuded the cold air!

  A giant clam is more than two meters in diameter, and the largest reaches more than three meters. The ice arrows they eject are extremely sharp, not only extremely fast, but also carrying terrible frost magic power.

Although the level of this kind of swamp giant clam is not very high, facing the volley attack of hundreds of giant clams, even the black dragon crocodile and the three-eyed giant python, who rule the Heishui Daze, dare not directly its front.

  However, the ice arrow shot by the giant clam seemed to have hit an invisible copper wall and iron wall half a meter away from the enemy, and instantly turned into powder and fell down without causing any damage.

  Although they work together to stop the enemy bravely, the result is that the pebble hits the stone!

  Zuo Yi slowly landed from the sky.

  He casually extended his hand to grab it, and a giant clam not far away and nearly three meters in size was picked up by the volley.

  Breaking away from the water on which it depended for survival, the giant clam\'s ability was greatly weakened immediately. It realized that something was wrong, so it quickly closed its shell, acting like a turtle with a shrunken head, intending to resist in the corner.

  The thickness of the shell of the giant clam in the swamp will become thicker with the growth of the year, and it can thicken by about one millimeter a year.

  Because the clam shell is condensed by giant clams swallowing a special kind of black iron sand at the bottom of the swamp, the texture is extremely hard.

  Even if it is a black dragon crocodile with a terrible bite force, don\'t even think about crushing its hard shell easily.

   Unfortunately, it met Zuo Yi.

  Zuo Yi took the giant clam in front of him, swept it away with mental power, and already understood its secret.

  He beckoned, and the giant clam spun along with it, turning its chubby back around.

  Zuo Yi pulled out the meteor dagger and waved it casually.

  Chick!

  An indestructible blade light cut into the junction of the two clam shells on the back of the giant clam like lightning, severed them apart, and went deep inside to kill the giant clam\'s vitality.

  The originally airtight mussel shells were separated, revealing the raw white mussel meat inside.

  Zuo Yi continued to swing the dagger, and cut off two adductor muscles, one of which was as thick as a sea bowl, crystal white and cold.

  The adductor muscle of the giant clam is what is commonly called scallops. This is the most essential part of the giant clam, and it is also 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 removing the scallops, Zuo Yi reached out and grabbed a black pearl hidden deep in the clam meat.

  In the process of devouring black iron sand, the swamp giant clam sometimes inhales black iron ore crystals.

  The black iron ore crystal belongs to the essence of black iron sand. The giant clam can\'t integrate it into the shell, and accidentally can\'t spit it out. As a result, it will secrete crystal gel to wrap it, and finally form a clam pearl.

  Not all swamp giant clams can breed clam pearls. In fact, the number of clam pearls is very small, and it takes enough years to gestate into real blackwater clam pearls, so the value is very expensive.

  Black water clam pearls are not only very beautiful, but also contain rich water-type magic power. They are the first-class materials used to make magic equipment.

  Put a black water mussel pearl in the room, and the hot summer will not be a little bit hot, and the water vapor it releases has the effect of nourishing the skin.

  The black water clam pearl that Zuo Yi just obtained is worth enough to exchange for a territory in the wealthy areas of the Three Kingdoms.

  In fact, the reason why he went deep into Heishui Daze was just to collect ingredients.

  The black water clam pearls were a completely unexpected harvest.

Zuo Yi heard about all kinds of Heishui Daze from Bonn before. This Seles merchant is well-informed and experienced. In the process of acting as Zuo Yi\'s guide, he told him many anecdotes about the wild world. fun.

   Put the scallops and black water clam beads into the space ring, Zuo Yi threw away the rest of the swamp giant clam, and then took the second giant clam to do the same.

  He only picks up big clams to collect, and lets go of those smaller ones.

  As aquatic monsters, the swamp giant clam has a very low level of intelligence and relies more on instinct to act. At the beginning, they besieged the intruder Zuo Yi fearlessly, 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 the invincible tactics in the past would not have any effect, and they were finally afraid.

   Poof! puff! puff!

  Hundreds of giant clams spit out icy water vapor in unison, creating a large area of ​​fog in an instant, and then escaped into the water one after another.

   This is their usual escape tactic. When they reach the bottom of the water and then dive into the mud, they can avoid most of the powerful enemies.

  Of course, such tricks are basically useless against Zuo Yi. If he wants to chase and kill the giant clam, even if it drills into the mud to a depth of 100 meters, he can easily dig it out.

  But Zuo Yi didn\'t come to exterminate the clan today, the scallops collected from eleven giant clams were enough.

   And there are three gifts of black water clam beads.

  So Zuo Yi spared the other giant clams, he summoned the griffins, and returned to the Dragon City Fortress.

   There was a small episode on the way home. An orc air cavalry team discovered Zuo Yi and chased him to try 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 empty riders was probably too flustered, and accidentally fell off the back of the mount. Fortunately, he instinctively grabbed the mount\'s paws and survived.

   It\'s really embarrassing to the extreme!

  After two wars, Zuo Yi\'s reputation has spread throughout the Orc Tribal Alliance, and the other side obviously recognized his identity.

   Zuo Yi didn\'t bother to pay attention to these little guys. After returning to the Dragon City Fortress, he teleported back to the Blue Star World through the World Stone.

  When he returned to Linjiang old house, it was just getting dark.
