Of course, sea clams in the wild generally don't choose to grow such a large shell.
Apart from its strong defense, monsters like the Sea Crystal Scallop actually have no advantages in combat, so wild Sea Crystal Scallops will consciously shrink their shells to facilitate hiding and escape.
Sea clams like this one, which are several meters in size, are mostly the result of special cultivation by humans.
However, Gu Shi did not need a mount with extremely strong combat capabilities. The Sea Crystal Shell was very much to his liking in terms of defense, speed, and comfort, and that was enough.
After making the decision, Gu Shi quickly completed the formalities with the rental company and ordered the Sea Dew Crystal Shell.
Although there is still some time before departure, there are many outsiders coming and going in the town these days. Gu Shi is worried that when he comes to rent the monster later, the Sea Dew Crystal Shell will be taken away by someone else, so he simply rents it now.
After agreeing with the rental company to come back in two days to take the Sea Dew Crystal Shell away, Gu Shi, led by Henry, began to purchase things in the town.
Five days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for the Pearl Rally to begin.
Gu Shi and Henry rode on the Sea Dew Crystal Shell and arrived at the gathering place with great enthusiasm. Shu Feng and Bradley were left in the hotel by him.
There was no other way. It was difficult for the two of them to go into the water, and even if they insisted on following, they could only stay on the surface of the sea.
"Sir, we're here."
Hearing Henry's words, Gu Shi looked up and looked around, and found that there were many ships and monsters anchored densely on the sea in front of them, and people were diving into the water from time to time.
"Is this the place? There are so many people."
Henry replied, “Of course, our gatherings here are not famous throughout the empire, but they are also well-known in this nearby area.
Okay, we can stop here. Monsters are not allowed to enter the gathering area below. Sir, let's drink the potion and go down quickly.
As he spoke, Henry took out a sky blue potion from his backpack and drank it. This was a diving potion that allowed people to move freely underwater.
Since it is a market held by mermaids, the gathering place is of course underwater. In this case, diving potions become an indispensable prop.
Considering the subsequent actions, Gu Shi simply bought a full hundred bottles when purchasing. If the potion shop was not well stocked, he probably wouldn't be able to take out so many high-quality diving potions at once.
Gu Shi also drank a diving potion. The cool liquid slid down his throat and even had a slightly sweet taste, as if he was drinking a beverage.
During the time that Gu Shi was drinking the potion, Henry had already nimbly entered the water and swam for a while in the sea.
His swimming movements are very beautiful, and you can tell at first glance that he is an expert. He is indeed a child who grew up by the sea.
Gu Shi sat on the edge of the shell and dipped his legs into the sea. "Hiss, it's a bit cold."
Although the sun in the sky was emitting bright light, the temperature of the sea water was still a little chilly. Gu Shi took a while to adapt before he dared to go into the water completely.
Seeing Gu Shi go into the water, Henry swam to his side, “Sir, do you need me to help take you down?”
Gu Shi nodded, "Thank you for your help then."
He is not very good at swimming, so it is very difficult for him to go down to the bottom of the sea by himself.
"Leave it to me."
Henry grabbed Gu Shi's wrist and plunged into the sea with him.
The feeling of entering the water was wonderful. The moment the sea water covered his head, Gu Shi subconsciously held his breath. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he tentatively opened his mouth.
The diving potion is very powerful. It not only allows Gu Shi to breathe underwater, but also protects Gu Shi’s eyes, ears and other important organs, so that he does not feel any discomfort.
After getting used to the feeling of moving in the water, Gu Shi began to observe the scenery around him curiously.
This was the first time that Gu Shi entered the sea like this. Anyway, with Henry pulling him forward, he could take this opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery under the sea.
Perhaps because it was specially selected, this sea area is quite calm, with no undercurrents, no dangerous monsters, and the scenery is very beautiful.
Henry had excellent swimming skills and it didn't take him long to bring Gu Shi to the bottom of the sea. After their feet were on solid ground, Henry began to pull Gu Shi forward.
"Aren't we there yet?" Gu Shi said as a string of bubbles came out of his mouth. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and tried to pop the bubbles with his hand.
Henry was not affected by Gu Shi's laughter. He pointed ahead and replied, "We're almost there. It's right in front."
Gu Shi looked up and saw the dark shadow of a building not far ahead.
When the two of them actually walked into the market, Gu Shi couldn't help but widen his eyes.
As they dived to a certain depth, the surrounding light actually weakened, but once they entered the market, the luminous seaweed around them made up for it.
This market place was built by mermaids to be very dreamy and beautiful, with glowing seaweed, gorgeous corals, unique architectural style, and beautiful mermaids walking through it, it is like entering a fairy tale world.
Gu Shi stood there for a long time before he was willing to look away.
Henry stood aside and said with a smile, "Well, sir, are you shocked? To be honest, when I first came here, I thought I was hallucinating!"
Gu Shi exclaimed, "This place is really beautiful. It doesn't look like a place for business at all. Instead, it looks more like some kind of art exhibition."
Henry then introduced the rules of the gathering to Gu Shi, "First of all, you have to remember that physical conflict is not allowed in this area. If you violate this rule, you will be kicked out by the mermaids.
Not only can they not attend the rally, but the mermaids will show no mercy when they attack. Someone has even been killed by them before.
So even if you have a conflict with someone during a transaction, you must remain calm."
"Also, you must not do anything offensive to the mermaids here. They may look beautiful, but they have bad tempers. Most of them are also quite powerful."
Gu Shi understood what Henry was hinting at. At a glance, he saw that every mermaid in his field of vision had a very striking appearance. Coupled with their perfect figures highlighted by their cool outfits, it was easy for some brainless people to have some inappropriate thoughts.
After confirming that Gu Shi had listened to his warning, Henry continued, "There aren't any special rules when it comes to transactions. You can just trade normally, and there's no problem bargaining for the price.
However, some merpeople choose to barter when trading. If you're lucky, you might be able to exchange ordinary items for very precious pearls!
