Chapter 722: Chapter 203 Water Tai Sui, Turns Out It Is Water Tai Sui_5

The exterior was a rigid shell covered in mud, perhaps even more durable than rocks, almost as good as steel.

And on this shell, if you look closely, there were numerous, large river clams.

It was unclear whether these were descendants of the mirage or some other type of river clam.

And these clams were all large creatures rarely seen on the market; Chen Jie reached out and took one the size of a washbasin.

Such a large clam, in front of the mirage, was but a grain of sand.

Not to mention the mirage’s part above the water was over ten meters high, much like a cliff, while the part hidden underwater was still unknown.

Chen Jie took a large river clam, pulled out the Chrysalis Blade he carried, and carefully tapped it open, quickly revealing the round pearls inside.

These pearls were truly beautiful.

They were uniformly the size of top level South Pearls, the largest one shimmering with a bluish valley, big as a golf ball.

They looked simply stunning.

Chen Jie washed the pearls in water and put them all in his pocket but noticed that no one else was digging.

Their target was the Medicine King Treasure, and although these pearls were precious, they were merely external wealth to them.

But for Chen Jie it was different, considering he had a wife, and not just one at that.

Girls liked flashy things, and these fine Mianshui pearls would make fantastic gifts for his wives.

Chen Jie thought, a smile appearing on his lips, picturing how beautiful Su Yunjin would look wearing this large pearl.

Chen Jie thought, putting the pearls into a cloth bag, tucking it close to his chest, Zhao Ya glanced over, and Chen Jie smiled, ”Commandery Princess, don’t you want to pry out a few?”

Upon hearing this, Ah San said, ”Commandery Princess, let me help you pry them; I can do it barehanded.”

Zhao Ya said, ”Tacky.”

Then she didn’t look that way anymore, while Elder Liu came over chuckling, ”Jiu Si, these pearls aren’t bad; they’re all top level Mianshui pearls, one might be worth twenty taels.”

Chen Jie smiled, ”It’s not about the money; these beautiful items, I intend to put them atop my wife’s head.”

Saying this, Chen Jie said, ”Old Brother Liu, don’t you want to pick a few?”

Liu Laoguai said, ”I’m an old married couple; what do I need these for? However, seeing these clams makes me itch.”

Saying this, Liu Laoguai also picked a large river clam, pried it open, gathered a lot of pearls, but then gave them all to Chen Jie, ”Brother, this stuff is most suitable for young ladies; I’m old, I have no use for them, you young man have many romances and know many lovely ladies, give them to women.”

Chen Jie wanted to say something, but just then, a loud clang sounded as Meng Chong collided with a shell.

Everyone stopped, now facing a ten-meter-high cliff, slick with green moss, immediately recognizable as the edge of a shell.

The group looked, Ah San touched the smooth moss on the shell, and then suddenly, his right hand formed a palm, striking fiercely against the cliff.

”Ha!”

The shell remained immovable; his Qi Blood Holding Core Realm strength was like a fly kicking a stone, barely making an impression.

Zhao Ya seeing this, said, ”Stop wasting energy, find a way to climb up.”

Yelu said, ”Yes, since we arrived before Ba Tan and his group, let’s hurry, go ashore, take the lead.”

Everyone agreed with this idea, Chen Jie said, ”Then, let’s go up.”

Hearing this, he touched the smooth cliff, covered in green moss, which would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to climb.

But for Chen Jie’s group, it wasn’t so challenging, as even the lowest among them possessed Late Stage Energy Transformation strength.

This mere cliff could hardly stop them.

Using their divine skills, they quickly scaled the cliff, with Ah Da and Ah Er leading, followed by the Commandery Princess and Ah San, Yelu, Mu Ge’s group, and Chen Jie, Liu Laoguai’s group.

Chen Jie then employed Qinggong and the Gecko Wall-Crawling Skill, kicking off from the boat surface, his entire body bouncing up to mid-air, grabbing the moss on the shell, and springing up.

He flew directly onto the top of the shell.

But just then, a sudden whooshing sound, and Chen Jie felt the blast of wind approaching him.

Instantly, he realized there was a hidden weapon.

Elder Liu was also struck by a hidden weapon at that moment, unsteady on his feet, he staggered and fell straight off the rock face.

Whizz!

Simultaneously, a crossbow arrow flew right over Elder Liu’s scalp.

Chen Jie also somersaulted down, landing directly on the deck with Elder Liu, and then Chen Jie looked at Liu Laoguai.

”Old Brother, are you alright?”

Liu Laoguai said, ”That was close; luckily, I reacted swiftly. Something’s odd up there; how could there be someone else?”

Chen Jie said, ”Old Brother Liu, did you see who it was?”

Liu Laoguai said, ”I didn’t catch a clear view; hadn’t steadied myself yet when I was shot by a cold arrow; I’m still dazed.”

Chen Jie then looked up, ”The Commandery Princess and the others haven’t come down; they must have steadied themselves. Let’s follow them up, Old Brother, you follow behind me.”

Liu Laoguai said, ”Wouldn’t that just drag you down?”

Chen Jie said, ”Old Brother, let’s not talk that way; along this journey, without mutual support, how could we have come this far? Don’t say such things.”
