Li Xian was thoroughly stuffed, not in a hurry to eat everything in one go. He lay resting in a cluster of green water plants; whenever he felt weary, he would dig out some clam meat to eat and drink. By the tenth clam, he unexpectedly found a giant clam pearl, exceptionally exquisite, radiating a silver halo.
Though delighted, Li Xian feared the pearl might attract an onslaught of giant creatures. His injuries were severe, making it extremely difficult to fend them off. Seeking prudence, he painfully decided to abandon it.
Dozens of night clams sustained him for nearly five days. Thanks to the night clams, his heart wound gradually healed, already reaching thirty percent. The fragmented heart veins slowly formed, enabling a slight circulation of blood, allowing him to climb upward.
