Miracle Born of the Great Sea: Silverlight Clam!

"This orca is incredibly intelligent!"

Looking at the large black seashell in Zhou Qing's hand, Tang San glanced at the orcas hunting sea lions, turning the surrounding waters into a bloody killing field, and was speechless with astonishment.

He initially felt some sympathy for the orca hunting the seals, but the orca's ability to "repay kindness" was truly perplexing.

On the ship.

Xiao Wu initially found the process of the orca hunting the seals too cruel to bear watching, but when she saw the orca find a large seashell for Zhou Qing, a strange look appeared in her eyes.

From an objective perspective, orcas hunting seals is simply for food, which is not wrong. Moreover, that particular orca was not driven by the smell of blood; it only went to compete with its companions for food after finding a large black seashell for Zhou Qing.

Was it that particular killer whale that was special?

Or is this true for all orcas?

"This is the behavior of orcas."

Ariel explained to everyone, "Orcas are very intelligent creatures. Even ordinary orcas have an intelligence comparable to that of a human child, not to mention these are Soul Beast."

"Before reaching a cultivation level of ten thousand years, orcas can live peacefully with humans. They may even consider humans as their own kind and feed them."

"Just like now, if we hadn't pushed that half-sea lion into the sea, the killer whale wouldn't have attacked. At most, it would have just splashed some more seawater at him to vent its dissatisfaction."

"If he pushes the half-sea lion down into the sea and the killer whale eats it, then the whale will go to the seabed to find fish, shrimp, shellfish and the like for him."

Hearing Ariel say this, Tang San felt even more strongly that the orca was intelligent, especially during the hunting process—

It was a tiny bit bloody.

But can we blame the orca?

They have no hands, so to fill their stomachs they can only use their sharp teeth to tear and bite.

"What's the full name of this orca?" Zhou Qing shouted to Ariel on the boat.

"The Evil Spirit Orca!"

Ariel responded by shouting.

It's actually Evil Spirit Orca?!

Zhou Qing never expected that such an Evil Orca Group, aged a thousand years or less, would exist in this Reef Sea Area.

According to the original text, the Evil Spirit Orca was not recognized by the Sea God, or rather, did not believe in the Sea God, so it became the subject of the Fourth Trial the Sea God's Nine Trials.

In Douluo III, they are even described as being equivalent to Evil Soul Master among Sea Soul Beast. Their very existence is a mistake, as they pose a threat to other Sea Soul Beast.

But now it seems that this was pure slander.

The Evil Spirit Orca is merely a creature that has evolved to adapt to this Great Sea environment, so how could it be some kind of erroneous existence?

If that's really the case, then there's naturally no place for them to live in this Great Sea world, so why would human Soul Master need to deal with them?

At least, regardless of whether Evil Spirit Orca with cultivation levels of over ten thousand years would indiscriminately kill other marine creatures, the group of Evil Spirit Orca he had encountered was not as outrageous and exaggerated as described in the original work; at most, the hunting process was just a bit bloody.

Moreover, when it comes to cruelty, which species in the Douluo Continent can compare to humans?

"Evil?"

Tang San glanced at the sea stained red, "It's just that the methods were a bit cruel..."

After all, if the Evil Spirit Orca can be considered a demon, then the Tang Sect of the previous life, with its more cruel methods such as Hidden Weapon and poisons, would surely be labeled as a Demonic Path sect.

However, the Tang Sect remains a righteous force.

Therefore, the Evil Spirit Orca are labeled as "demonic" based on the bloodshed of their hunting process, rather than because they are truly Evil Soul Beast among Soul Beast.

What distinction is there between Evil among Soul Beast?

At least, because Xiao Wu is Hundred-Thousand-Year- old Soft Bone Rabbit in human form, Tang San has a guess: that Soul Beast under 10,000 years old are not very intelligent and are driven by survival instincts, and cannot be judged by human Kindness or Evil.

Like the Evil Spirit Orca, it was able to resist its instinctive craving for the smell of blood and first found Zhou Qing a large black seashell as a reward; it was definitely human-like!

After the two boarded the ship again, Zhou Qing pried open the seashell, revealing a fist-sized pearl that shimmered white in the sunlight.

"This is!"

Ariel's eyes widened as she looked at the black seashell in Zhou Qing's hand and asked, "Can I see this seashell?"

"Give."

Because the "Soul Beast Encyclopedia" on land contains very little information about Sea Soul Beast, Zhou Qing did not recognize what kind of shell it was.

However, when he pried open the shell, he sensed fluctuations of Soul Power within it—

It is Soul Beast.

However, after the pearl was taken out, the white soft body inside the shell seemed to die, but no Soul Ring emerged, which was quite strange.

Ariel took a small knife from her waist and used it to cut open the algae, seaweed, and black shell of the seashell, revealing a silvery luster.

"Really!"

Ariel pointed to the silvery luster and said, "This is no ordinary seashell, but an extremely rare type of shell Soul Beast: the Silverlight Clam!"

"The so-called Silverlight Clam is a nearly extinct Soul Beast."

"To put it simply, its original shell has a silvery luster that sparkles under the light. And this kind of Soul Beast will not produce Soul Ring after it dies, because all its essence is in the pearl it nurtures."

Zhou Qing immediately realized that this thing was similar to the Inner Core of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, and its effects were probably similar. If consumed by Soul Master of the corresponding attribute, it might promote the Martial Soul Evolution, or even help that Soul Master obtain a Soul Ring.

"What great luck!" Romantina exclaimed.

"No, this can't be explained by luck..."

Ariel's gaze toward Zhou Qing was different now, filled with suspicion, but she finally sighed and said, "Logically speaking, even if the Silverlight Clam still exists, it can only be nurtured by the power of the Great Sea in the true deep sea area. Its appearance in this Reef Sea Area can only be due to the surging undersea currents, which brought a Silverlight Clam here with the currents."

"Isn't that just luck?" Xiao Wu said with a grin.

Ariel shook her head slightly.

Luck?

It really was luck.

But in the past two thousand years, the last person to obtain the Silverlight Clam was Poseidon, who conquered the Great Sea, gathered the Power of Faith from marine life, and forged his Divine Throne Poseidon

She has a special identity and knows many secrets.

Why is the Silverlight Clam nearly extinct?

Was it because humans discovered the special properties of the Silverlight Clam? Or was it because they were curious about the fact that the Silverlight Clam could not produce Soul Ring after it died, that they hunted it extensively, to the point that it is now on the verge of extinction?

Or perhaps the Sea Soul Beast also discovered the effect of the Silverlight Clam on increasing cultivation, to the point that they began to hunt Silverlight Clam in large numbers?

Neither!

Because the Silverlight Clam Shell is not a race, but a special individual born from shell-type Soul Beast!

It is a miracle born from the Great Sea!
