They put away the giant octopus's corpse.
Tiny Qin Yan hugged an octopus arm thicker than her whole body, her short little legs kicking hard as she swam over to her uncle and Jelly.
The little one refused any help, brimming with excitement.
"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, look!"
"It's so big! Third Uncle and I beat it together."
One soft little tot thought she was awfully impressive.
Of course, she received praise from her Fourth Uncle too.
Meimei said, "The treasure's still there. Are we going to look for it or not?"
Of course they were.
This time, everyone went down.
Then they found a scale the size of an adult's palm in the giant octopus's lair.

The moment Fu Wenli held the scale, he felt the blood in his body boiling.
Qin Yan raised her little arm. "Let me, let me! I can check."
Meimei said, "Right, the little one has a cheat that can identify anything."
Qin Yan poked the scale in her Fourth Uncle's hand.
Information about the scale appeared in her mind.
[A shed Ancient Dragon Scale containing a small amount of energy. As an ancient overlord of the oceans, a dragon's entire body is treasure, and an extremely rare resource that all marine creatures compete for.]
Qin Yan recited the information that had appeared in her mind word for word.
Fu Wenzi's eyes widened. "A dragon scale!!!"
The dragon scale was reflected in Fu Wenli's eyes. No wonder.
Meimei rolled her eyes. "What's all the fuss about? Eastern Dragons mostly lived in water. Dragons disappearing and going extinct doesn't mean they never existed. Otherwise, where would Fu Wenli's bloodline have come from?"
Fu Wenzi scratched his head. "Oh, right."
But it was still shocking, okay? That
