Chapter 1276: Spirit Clam King
The Golden Stone Spirit Clams came out of the golden boulders like bamboo sprouts emerging after the rain. They reached out greedily towards the water mixed with Li Hongyou's blood. Gradually, their shells opened up.
A dazzling spiritual light could be seen emanating from the core of their flesh.
Li Luo was extremely satisfied with this sight. Without any further hesitation, he began to reap the harvest.
He waved his sleeves, and the energy around him transformed into a rope. The rope flew across the water as quick as lightning, reaching into the deepest depths of the mouths of the clams before wrapping around the area where the spiritual light emitted from.
With a tug, the energy rope wrenched backwards.
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were suddenly filled with rays of brilliant light zooming over. Dozens of pearls flew towards Li Luo's location like a flock of birds returning to their nests.
Li Luo put the Spirit Pearls away immediately. He could tell from the first glance that there were quite a few high-grade Spirit Pearls that had brilliant light that stretched over a hundred feet. His heart pounded excitedly.
His excitement was interrupted by a sharp and strange cry. Li Luo's eyes turned serious. He suddenly saw a pitch black substance leaking out from inside a few of the Spirit Clams. Then a number of figures with snow-white skin emerged from the clam meat. The figures looked terrifying and had multiple arms that were extremely long.
At the same time, an immense amount of corruption spilled out of their bodies.
Sssssh!
Their bodies twisted and they let out sharp cries. At the next moment, they closed the distance in a flash, appearing in front of the Dragon's Fang Guardians.
Weng!
The twang of a released bowstring echoed in the surroundings. A series of condensed energy arrows arced across the heavy valley water and struck the Others firmly.
Li Luo tightly grasped the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow. Its bowstring continued to vibrate violently from the barrage of shots he had just taken. With the thousand Guardians backing him, he had reached the level of an upper third-grade Duke. Even though some True Devil Others were amongst the clams that had just emerged, they were a piece of cake to handle.
On his side, Li Hongyou had also seen the Golden Stone Spirit Clams continuing to appear without end. She knew that Li Luo's conjecture was right—her blood, which gave off the alluring scent of her resonance when combined with the golden water, was an extremely attractive snack for the Golden Stone Spirit Clams.
She took in a deep breath and bit the tip of her tongue. Then she spat out more fresh blood and formed hand seals to fill it with her resonant power. The previous attempt was just a warmup, and she now planned to release her resonant power infused blood essence to the limit.
Almost immediately, the golden water in their surroundings began to turn pink.
An unusual fragrance filled the area.
Li Luo seized this opportunity and continued to harvest quickly. The Spirit Clams continued to emerge from the golden boulders in tides, and Spirit Pearls were basically being pocketed by him continuously. In this short period of time, his harvest was many times more than what he had gotten from the hours of hard work earlier.
Of course, there was no shortfall of Others coming out of the clams. There was even a third-grade True Devil, which proved to be quite a bit of trouble even for Li Luo. It significantly slowed down his speed of harvesting.
Li Luo had no choice but to pause the gathering and focus on bringing it down.
It was a chaotic fight, and it caused quite a bit of a commotion. Naturally, this caught the attention of others.
Li Luo frowned and sent out a message immediately for reinforcements before picking up speed.
The Spirit Pearls shining with brilliant light continued to fly across the water like a meteor shower.
An hour passed by like this. Suddenly, a wave of resonant power could be felt coming from outside of this region. It was the other elites, who had been drawn over by the scintillating, bright light in the area.
After all, his methods for gathering these treasures had broken the balance within the valley.
He had to make full use of his time to collect as many pearls as he could.
With that in mind, Li Luo focused his attention on the task at hand, no longer being on guard against anyone in the surroundings. His resonant power surged out of him and, like tentacles, spread in every direction, pocketing Spirit Pearls at an astonishing speed.
The brilliant light that came from the large amount of pearls being gathered caused the area to shine incessantly.
With that, even more people were attracted to this sight. Their hearts were overflowing with greed as they stared at the brilliant light emitting from the region.
However, the pressure from Jiang Qing'e was simply too domineering. None of them dared to approach recklessly.
Before long, this location became one of the most lively regions in the valley as more and more people gathered.
They all coveted the pearls that this group was easily picking up like taking candy from a baby. With so many people here, even Jiang Qing'e was beginning to feel the pressure.
Li Luo knew that it was time to stop soon.
He glanced over at Li Hongyou and gave her the signal.
Li Hongyou nodded. She restrained her resonant power as she knew it was time to reel in the bait.
Bang!
At the same moment that Li Hongyou restrained her resonant power, a large commotion suddenly came from the depths of a crack. In a flash, a golden tentacle burst forward, trying to grab onto her.
This attack had caught them off guard. Besides, the amount of energy the golden tentacle released was enough to rival that of a fifth-grade Duke!
Li Hongyou could only watch with wide eyes as the golden tentacle reached out towards her.
Whoosh!
When it was just about to come into contact with Li Hongyou, a nail of light suddenly pierced through the water and struck the tentacle heavily.
Berserk energy waves swept across the area, and Li Hongyou was sent flying away from the shockwaves, spitting out a small mouthful of blood from the impact.
Li Luo quickly dashed over and grabbed her. His face changed a little as he looked over at the crack. Slowly, the crevice enlarged further, and a Spirit Clam that was thousands of feet tall emerged from it.
The golden tentacle had come from the inside of that clam.
"What an enormous Golden Stone Spirit Clam!" Li Luo exclaimed in surprise.
Wait, no!
Li Luo suddenly shuddered. All the hair on his body stood up at this moment, and he stared at the giant clam passionately.
This was no ordinary Golden Stone Spirit Clam!
It was the legendary Golden Stone Spirit Clam King!
Li Luo swallowed his saliva. He knew that he had struck the jackpot.
