Blackwater Lake, Barbarian World.
The Blackwater Lake was boundless. It was more than a thousand miles away from Dragon City Fortress, deep in the heart of the Alliance of Orc Tribes. Due to the special environment of the Blackwater Lake, there was no sign of human habitation.
Looking from afar, this great swamp that stretched for thousands of miles was a dark green color that was close to pure black. It wasn't because the rich water in the swamp was dirty. In fact, the water here was very clean and clear. It was just that the Black Vine Water Grass that grew recklessly under the water caused a visual distortion.
Even for the powerful orcs, the Blackwater Lake was a very dangerous place.
Especially in the core area of the Blackwater Lake, there were many powerful and difficult demon beasts living there. They usually occupied their own territories and lived in groups. Once someone invaded their territory, they would definitely attack together.
Therefore, even the knights of the Beast God would not go deep into the Blackwater Lake.
But today, the tranquility of the swamp was completely disrupted. Numerous giant clams floated on the water surface, fanning their gigantic shells with all their might, and shooting numerous ice arrows into the sky, which were emitting chilly air!
A giant mussel was more than two meters in diameter, and the biggest one was more than three meters in diameter. The ice arrows they shot were very sharp. They were not only fast, but also carried a terrible ice magic power.
Although the level of these giant mussels was not very high, facing the attack of hundreds of giant mussels, even the Black Dragon Crocodile and the Three-eyed Serpent, who were the kings of the Blackwater Lake, did not dare to fight directly.
However, when the ice arrows shot by the giant mussels were half a meter away from the enemies, it was as if they had hit an invisible iron wall. They instantly turned into powder and fell to the ground, without causing any damage.
Although they worked together to stop the enemies, the result was that they were throwing eggs at a rock!
Zuo Yi slowly descended from the sky.
He casually reached out his hand and grabbed a three-meter giant mussel that was not far away from him.
After leaving the Blackwater Lake, the giant mussel's ability was greatly weakened. It realized that the situation was not good, so it quickly closed its shell and tried to fight back.
The thickness of the giant mussel's shell would increase as it grew older, about one millimeter a year. The shell of this giant mussel that Zuo Yi grabbed was ten centimeters thick, and it was more than a hundred years old.
The shell was formed by the giant mussel swallowing a special kind of black iron sand at the bottom of the Blackwater Lake, so it was very hard.
Even the Black Dragon Crocodile with a terrible bite force could not easily break its hard shell.
Unfortunately, its opponent was Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi brought the giant mussel in front of him and scanned it with his spiritual power. He had already figured out its secret.
He waved his hand, and the giant mussel rotated and turned its chubby back around.
Zuo Yi took out his dagger and waved it.
Whoosh!
An indestructible blade light cut into the joint of the two shells on the back of the giant mussel like a lightning bolt, and cut it apart. Then, it penetrated deep into the mussel's body and destroyed its life force.
The originally sealed clam shell then opened, revealing the white clam meat inside.
Zuo Yi continued to wield the dagger and cut off two pieces of the adductor muscle. Each piece was as thick as a bowl, and it was crystal white.
The adductor muscle of the giant mussel was called the Jasper Column. It was the essence of the giant mussel, and it was also the most delicious food in the Wild World. Because it was very difficult to hunt, even the royal family could not enjoy it.
After taking down the Jasper Column, Zuo Yi grabbed a black pearl that was hidden deep in the mussel's flesh.
When the giant mussel swallowed the black iron sand, it sometimes inhaled the black iron ore crystal.
The black iron ore crystal was the essence of the black iron sand. The giant mussel could not merge it into its shell, and it could not spit it out. As a result, it would secrete crystal glue to wrap it up, and finally, it would form a pearl.
Not all giant mussels could produce pearls. In fact, the number of pearls was very small, and it would take a long time to produce a real black water pearl. Therefore, it was very expensive.
The black water pearl was not only beautiful, but also rich in water magic. It was a good material for making magic equipment.
If a black water pearl was placed in a room, it would not be stuffy on a hot summer day. The water vapor it released could also nourish the skin.
The value of the Blackwater Clam Pearl that Zuo Yi had just obtained was enough to exchange for a piece of land in a wealthy area of the three kingdoms.
In fact, the reason why he went into the Blackwater Swamp was just to collect ingredients.
The black water pearl was an unexpected gain.
Zuo Yi had heard about the Blackwater Swamp from Bonn. This traveling merchant was very knowledgeable. When he was acting as Zuo Yi's guide, he told him a lot of interesting things about the Wild World.
After putting the Jasper Column and the black water pearl into his space ring, Zuo Yi threw away the rest of the giant mussel. Then, he picked up the second giant mussel and did the same thing.
He only picked up the big mussels and ignored the smaller ones.
As an aquatic Magical Beast, the Giant Swamp Mussel's intelligence level was very low. It relied more on its instincts to act. In the beginning, they had surrounded and attacked Zuo Yi, the intruder, without any regard for the casualties of their companions.
However, when Zuo Yi had harvested more than ten giant mussels, the rest of the giant mussels realized that they had encountered an unprecedentedly strong enemy. Their invincible tactics would not work. Finally, they were scared.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Hundreds of giant mussels spat out cold water vapor. In an instant, a large area of fog was created. Then, they all dived into the water.
This was their usual escape tactic. When they reached the bottom of the water, they would dive into the mud to avoid most strong enemies.
Of course, this tactic was useless against Zuo Yi. If he wanted to kill them, even if the giant mussels dived into the mud, he could easily dig them out.
However, Zuo Yi was not here to exterminate them. The Jasper Column that he had harvested from the eleven giant mussels was enough.
In addition, there were three black water pearl as a bonus.
Therefore, Zuo Yi let the other giant mussels go. He summoned the Griffin and returned to Dragon City Fortress.
On the way back, there was a small incident. A team of orc riders noticed Zuo Yi and tried to stop him.
However, when they saw Zuo Yi's appearance, they immediately scattered and did not dare to attack.
One of the Beast Race aerial cavalry was probably too flustered and accidentally fell off the back of his mount. Fortunately, he instinctively grabbed onto his mount's claw to save himself from the fall.
He was in an extremely sorry state!
After two wars, Zuo Yi's name had spread throughout the Orc Tribe Alliance. The other party obviously recognized him.
Zuo Yi was too lazy to care about these small fries. After returning to Dragon City Fortress, he used the World Stone to teleport back to the Blue Star World.
When he returned to Linjiang Mansion, the sky had just turned dark.
