Chapter 283 This Lake Was Born to Be Named Reed

"Liquid that can create life..."

Teleporting to the interior of the Sky Gardens ruins, Adam stopped with a pair of wings spread out behind him, and looked at the lake below.

In Adam's sight, the aura of magic rippled on the lake, filling the entire lake.

"These lake waters are indeed special... but I was blinded by a single leaf and missed the big mountain."

Meeting the eyes in the lake, Adam raised his eyebrows, stretched out his fingers and lightly tapped the air, and the surging lake water immediately swept the giant in the lake into the air.

"This is..."

Wrapped in the water and slowly opening and closing is a huge shellfish that is tens of meters high.

The shell of the shellfish is wavy and pure white, and the part in the middle that seems to be fleshy is a dreamy blue-purple gradient...This shape makes Adam feel familiar, as if he had seen it when he was a child watching "Journey to the West".

Flipping through his memory, Adam found its name.

"Giant clam? Such a big giant clam?"

As the voice fell, Adam became more convinced that the lake water had the ability to create life.

The last time Adam fished out the oarfish, he carefully checked the lake and found no giant clams at all.

Even though he was not a biology major, he had read some encyclopedias and popular science about many animals. In his memory, once the giant clam passed the larval stage, it would use its silk feet to fix itself on the seabed and could no longer move in the sea.

This ruled out the possibility that this giant clam "swam" into the lake through some kind of underwater channel.

So there was only one possibility left - this giant clam appeared in the lake in the past few years and grew so big!

"Interesting, really interesting, did the ancient wizards already have such magic technology?"

Shrinking the water ball in the air and holding it in his hand, Adam looked at the lake below with shining eyes, and at the same time focused on the shore.

Although he could not understand how this lake created life, he planned to stare at the inside of the lake and then use time magic to go back to the past.

It sounds complicated and troublesome, but Adam thinks the process should be smooth. After all, according to the known information, it will not take too long for this lake to create life.

The information collected last time emerged in Adam's mind.

He didn't pay much attention to it because he was in a hurry to save Eugene's parents. Then he just forgot about it. It was not until now that he started to pay attention again.

According to the information from the two silly wizards he met at the lake last time... uh... they first went down to the cave and were attacked by the Kraken a few months before Adam arrived.

But Adam only encountered an oarfish and did not find any Kraken in the lake. At the same time, the oarfish is not a freshwater creature, not even a shallow water creature. That's why he made the speculation that somewhere at the bottom of the lake is connected to the sea, and the oarfish and the Kraken are foreign creatures.

But now it seems that the oarfish and the Kraken are both natives of the lake, but in the past few months, the Kraken has turned back into lake water, and the lake water has bred another oarfish?

"So the oarfish will turn into water after a while? No, I have eaten it so many times. Eugene even took some home to freeze and eat slowly. If it turned into water, he would definitely come to tell me."

Adam touched his chin:

"So, will it turn into water after living for a while? Or... must it be in this lake for a while before it turns into water?"

Thinking of this, Adam glanced at the giant clam water ball in his hand. The water ball turned into two, two into four in a blink of an eye. One water ball was frozen into an ice ball, the water in one water ball was replaced with ordinary sea water, and the other two water balls remained the same.

Although giant clams were first-class protected animals in China in the previous life, and catching such animals was quite punishable, Adam also remembered that this shellfish was recorded as having delicious meat... It would be too wasteful to just turn it into water.

While thinking, Adam landed on the lakeside.

"Well, before going back in time, let's taste the legendary giant clam. I hope that such a large size will not make the meat too old... After all, it should not be more than one year old."

Taking out a set of cooking utensils from his pocket and enlarging it, Adam restored one of the two giant clam water balls that remained in their original state to its original size, and then fell into deep thought.

"How should giant clams be eaten... I haven't eaten it either. It should be similar to other shellfish?"

In an instant, Adam's mind flashed through the cooking methods of various shellfish such as clams, bamboo clams, river clams, scallops, mussels, hairy clams, and oysters.

"Forget it, when in doubt, I'll grill one to taste it first."

Waving his hand to throw the lake water wrapped in the giant clam back into the lake, Adam's eyes flashed:

"Hmm?"

The magic calmed the waves on the lake, but the calmed lake water still spread towards the shore.

In Adam's impression, the lake water was originally level with the shore. This phenomenon only means one result - the current level of the lake water exceeds the original height!

"After I drained some of the lake water just now, the water in the lake is increasing again?"

Think about it carefully, the last time he froze and took away a lot of lake water with the oarfish, but just now he saw that the lake water was still level with the shore.

Originally, Adam didn't care so much. After all, it has been so long, and it is normal for the lake water to change, but now the lake has risen so much water in front of him in just a few minutes...

There are only a few sources of water in the lake, either from the sky (atmospheric precipitation), from the ground (surface water), or from the ground (groundwater).

The first two can be ruled out, so there is only one possibility...

Adam lowered his eyes and looked at the calm surface of the water, and the bottomless lake inside:

"Should I go back to the past first, or go to the bottom of the lake to find out the source of the lake water... Oh! Look at me, I almost forgot about the main thing because of these."

Adam slapped his forehead:

"Of course, I will garlic this big guy first... How much seasoning and garlic will it take?"

Shaking his head in some distress, Adam couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. For such a large garlic clam, he could even be so extravagant as not to put vermicelli... Uh, forget it, I still want to eat garlic vermicelli, so make some extra.

It is very likely that a field that can grow seafood by itself has been discovered, and it is a variety of seafood that grows randomly in super large sizes. It undoubtedly makes Adam very happy, much happier than the last time when he simply found an oarfish.

He likes seafood, and he also likes the surprise of not knowing what seafood he will get next, and he likes this amount that can be eaten for several meals.

My God, this lake is born to be named Reed!

As the barbecue smoke slowly rose in front of Adam, a thick and short giant tree grew out of thin air at the ground at Adam's feet in the next second. It was less than 100 meters high but had a diameter that could only be hugged by nearly 100 people.

The interior of the giant tree is naturally hollow, forming a space that is divided and can be lived in. At the same time, flowers with faint light bloom inside and outside the tree.

In the next period of time, Adam plans to stay here for a few days, carry forward the fine tradition of Hufflepuff, and study the diversity of marine life.
