To tell the truth, when Xia Pingan first came to the Undying Sea and saw the Heavenly Star Giant Clam, he was also shocked. This Heavenly Star Giant Clam was too big, just like a monster.
Xia Pingan had never seen how other Seven or Eight Sun Realm summoners dealt with this Heavenly Star Giant Clam, but he had seen how other Six Sun Realm summoners dealt with this Heavenly Star Giant Clam once. A large group of people would set up spells and arrays at the bottom of the sea, making use of the Heavenly Star Giant Clam's weakness to fire. First, they would trap the Heavenly Star Giant Clam, then heat it up. When the Heavenly Star Giant Clam couldn't stand it anymore and opened its shell, they would temporarily freeze the Heavenly Star Giant Clam's body. Then, they would use the summoned assassins to rush into the Heavenly Star Giant Clam's body and take out the Soul Anchoring Pearl.
That lineup was too big.
In the beginning, Xia Pingan didn't think that the Tiger Brace Spell he had just learned would be useful. At first, he just wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that it would really be useful.
The Heavenly Star Giant Clam's most terrifying ability was its ability to swallow. When the Heavenly Star Giant Clam wanted to swallow, it would open its huge shell, revealing the wave-like serrated teeth inside the shell. As long as a person or object entered within a hundred meters of the Heavenly Star Giant Clam, it would be swallowed by the powerful suction force inside the Heavenly Star Giant Clam's body. It was like falling into a trap. Once the Heavenly Star Giant Clam's shell closed, it was equivalent to closing the gates of hell. It was like throwing something into a grinder. In the blink of an eye, the person or object swallowed by the Heavenly Star Giant Clam would be ground into pus and blood.
And the Tiger Brace Spell just happened to prevent the Heavenly Star Giant Clam's shell from closing after it opened. To Xia Pingan, this was equivalent to the Heavenly Star Giant Clam opening its own home and inviting him in as a guest.
It had to be said that this operation was too flashy for the Heavenly Star Giant Clam.
The Heavenly Star Giant Clam had probably never met such a person before.
As soon as Xia Pingan left the body of that Heavenly Star Giant Clam, that Heavenly Star Giant Clam was like a little girl who was bullied by a hooligan. It was like a bird that was frightened by the twang of a bow, and began to flee in panic at the bottom of the sea.
When the Heavenly Star Giant Clam started to run at the bottom of the sea, it caused a huge commotion. As the Heavenly Star Giant Clam fanned its shell, a huge amount of water was sucked into its body. After that, it squeezed the water and fiercely spurted it out. With the help of the reaction force of the water, the Heavenly Star Giant Clam rose from the bottom of the sea. After that, it constantly fanned its shell, sucking and spurting water. Just like that, it swayed and swam towards the distance. At first glance, its movements were a bit silly and cute, like a clumsy butterfly flying in the water.
Sand and dust rose from the bottom of the sea, obscuring the sky and the earth. Seeing that Heavenly Star Giant Clam flee, Xia Pingan also hastily dodged.
When he had just summoned Tiger Brace to search the body of that Heavenly Star Giant Clam, he had consumed 120 points of divine force. That was already the fifth Heavenly Star Giant Clam he had searched in the sea. He still hadn't found the Soul Anchoring Pearl, and he had consumed a lot of divine force instead.
Summoning the basic Tiger Brace only consumed 6 points of divine force. However, when Tiger Brace supported the two huge shells of the Heavenly Star Giant Clam, it consumed 11 points of divine force per second from Xia Pingan. The amount of divine force Tiger Brace consumed seemed to vary according to the target.
As soon as Xia Pingan came out of the Heavenly Star Giant Clam's body, he discovered that there were many summoners in the surrounding seawater. Those onlookers were looking at him with astonishment. This was because they had probably never seen anyone use such a magical technique to deal with a Heavenly Star Giant Clam.
Xia Pingan wasn't afraid of being surrounded by onlookers. In any case, he was currently using an alias. Moreover, this alias was set up to be able to refine soul armaments. Once the news of him refining soul armaments spread, it would be hard for this alias to not become famous in the Undying Sea. It was also good for him to get used to it in advance.
Even someone as low-key as Cui LI might attract trouble if things went wrong. Therefore, sometimes it was better to increase his exposure and be a bit more high-profile. Who knew, he might be able to reap new rewards.
As far as his eyes could see, there didn't seem to be any giant clams in the surrounding seabed. Xia Pingan was just about to change locations to find his next target when he discovered a square-faced summoner with two thick eyebrows rapidly flying towards him with a group of people.
Among this group of people flying over, there was a guy who had been monitoring him all this time. However, he didn't take any action. That guy who was monitoring him left for a while, and when he returned, he was accompanied by this group of people.
This group of people was a total of nine people, both male and female. Their auras indicated that they were all Six Sun Realm summoners. They didn't seem to be easy to deal with.
The other party's intentions were unclear, and they had a large number of people. Xia Pingan's expression didn't change, but he was inwardly vigilant. He immediately slowed down his speed.
Those nine people directly flew in front of Xia Pingan and blocked his path.
Xia Pingan stopped and asked, "What do you want to do by blocking my path?"
"Brother, don't be nervous. We just received a message from my sixth brother. He said that there is a summoner under the sea that can deal with the Celestial Giant Clam alone. We were all curious, so we came to take a look. Brother, your technique is really eye-opening. You can actually restrain the Celestial Giant Clam's devouring ability. Admirable, admirable …" The square-faced, thick-browed summoner should be the leader of this group. When he spoke, the others didn't speak.
Seeing that this person didn't seem to be unreasonable and spoke politely, Xia Pingan relaxed a little. He cupped his hands and said, "You're too polite. It was just a fluke …"
The square-faced, thick-browed summoner didn't inquire about Xia Pingan's secret technique because it was a secret and taboo for summoners. He laughed heartily and said, "The nine of us have been in the Undying Sea for many years and have settled down on the Cloud Island. We call ourselves the Cloud Island Nine Sons. We are all friends who have come here together. Because we are congenial and take care of each other, we call each other brothers and sisters. I am Feng Lieyu, the big brother of the nine.
"I am Long Huan!"
"Brother Long, are you looking for the Soul Anchoring Pearl?"
"That's right!"
"Brother Long, are you looking for the Soul Anchoring Pearl to exchange for some rare Realm Pearls or Divine Springs?"
"That's not it!" Xia Pingan smiled. "I want the Soul Anchoring Pearl because I have a use for it. With the Soul Anchoring Pearl, it will be more convenient for me to refine soul tools!"
The Cloud Island Nine Sons were all shocked. They looked at Xia Pingan in disbelief. Feng Lieyu's eyes widened and flashed. He asked directly, "Brother Long, are you a soul cultivator?"
Soul cultivator was a title that some summoners gave to those who could refine soul tools.
"To be honest, I found a few broken jade slips in the ruins of a void secret realm. Then, I was lucky enough to learn the Soul Splitting Technique. My main purpose in coming to the Godslaying Insect World is to find a Soul Anchoring Pearl and try to refine a soul tool!" Xia Pingan said confidently.
"That's a coincidence!" Feng Lieyu laughed, "The nine of us know a hidden coral cave. There are some Heavenly Star Giant Clams in that cave. Perhaps there are some Soul Stabilizing Pearls in those Heavenly Star Giant Clams. It's a rare chance to meet Brother Long. It's fate. If Brother Long doesn't mind, we can take Brother Long to that coral cave and let Brother Long try his luck!"
These people actually knew of a coral cave where the Heavenly Star Giant Clam was hidden. Xia Pingan was greatly moved and didn't decline. He laughed heartily and said boldly, "Then I thank Brother Feng and everyone for their good intentions. If we can find the Soul Anchoring Pearl this time, I will refine two soul items for Brother Feng and the others for free as a reward!"
When Feng Lieyu said that he would take Xia Pingan to the coral cave, the people behind him didn't understand. They thought their big brother was being too generous. But now that they heard Xia Pingan say that if they could find a Soul Anchoring Pearl, they couldn't help but admire Feng Lieyu. As expected of their big brother.
A hidden coral cave in exchange for a soul cultivator's promise to craft two soul armaments was a profitable trade. Even if Long Huan didn't manage to find the soul-anchoring pearl in the cave, he'd still owe them a favor. Now that their relationship was closer, it shouldn't be too difficult to ask Long Huan for help in the future.
"Brother Long, come with us …" Feng Lieyu said as he led Xia Pingan towards the coral forest. Xia Pingan followed closely behind.
After flying for twenty kilometers, they entered the depths of the coral forest. In front of them were giant corals that were hundreds of meters tall. Where was the coral cave?
Just as Xia Pingan was puzzled, he saw Feng Lieyu point at a scorched rock at the bottom of the sea. The scorched rock at the bottom of the sea turned into a light shadow and eventually turned into a golden triangular disk that landed on Feng Lieyu's hand. Below the scorched rock, there was indeed a 100-meter-wide coral cave.
Xia Pingan looked at the disk array in Feng Lieyu's hand, and his heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he had seen a summoner's disk array. He did not expect this disk array to be so miraculous, to be able to cover such a large coral cave.
"This coral cave was discovered by the nine of us siblings. Because we were unable to deal with the Heavenly Star Giant Clam for the time being, we could only use this Hallucinatory Array Disc to seal it up …" Feng Lieyu explained, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Long, please …"
Xia Pingan didn't stand on ceremony and flew into the cave.
The entrance of the coral cave wasn't big, but the deeper they went, the more spacious it became. The entire cave was filled with colorful corals and scorched rocks. There were also some glowing fish, just like the Crystal Dragon Palace.
Not long after entering, Xia Pingan saw another enormous Heavenly Star Giant Clam lying on a piece of scorched rock.
The Star Giant Clam seemed to have sensed someone's arrival. Its two giant scallops opened slightly, ready to attack. Everyone stopped a few hundred meters away and didn't rashly approach.
"Everyone, I won't stand on ceremony!" Xia Pingan said to Feng Lieyu and the others.
"Haha, we were just waiting to see Brother Long's secret method …"
Xia Pingan didn't say anything and directly flew towards the giant Star Giant Clam. When he was within a hundred meters, Xia Pingan threw an icicle.
The icicle was just a tease. When it hit the Star Giant Clam's shell, the icicle shattered. The skin on the Star Giant Clam's back wasn't even broken.
This disturbance infuriated the Heavenly Star Giant Clam. Seeing Xia Pingan flying over, the Heavenly Star Giant Clam fiercely opened its two shells and released an extremely powerful suction force. Xia Pingan, who was still in the water, was immediately swallowed into its stomach. However, just as the two shells of the Heavenly Star Giant Clam were about to close, a huge tiger protrusion was summoned and stuck at a key position, causing the two shells of the Heavenly Star Giant Clam to be unable to close. As a result, it could only freeze there …
