A true great demon!
The second elder did not recognize the old giant clam, but with so many giant clams in the sea, it's quite normal not to know them all. He glanced at the White Ape and scolded unceremoniously, "Since you are a giant clam, why bring outsiders here?"
This classical style, this tone.
It felt just right!
The older generation indeed has its own way of communicating.
The old giant clam wasn't annoyed, and spoke straightforwardly, directly stating that the White Ape was a master it met during travels, who wished to come to the clan's land to touch the giant clam pearls, promising there would be no harm, and that it was merely a method of spiritual cultivation.
Touch the giant clam pearls?
Those are the very lifeblood of the giant clams!
The other giant clams were also unwilling.
The second elder immediately urged them to leave, "Leave quickly! Don't say you weren't warned!"
The old giant clam started to persuade.
Back and forth, pulling and tugging endlessly.
