A clam?

Tang Yue's serpentine body coiled instinctively as she processed the woman's words, the remnants of exhaustion clashing with the surge of vitality coursing through her veins. "A clam? I was fighting with a damned clam?"

The absurdity of the realization struck Tang Yue like a bolt of lightning. She blinked, her golden eyes narrowing as she tried to reconcile the epic struggle she had just endured with the image of… a clam. "A clam?" she repeated, her voice rising in disbelief. "I almost died fighting a damned clam?"

The woman, still watching her with that infuriatingly amused smirk, chuckled. "Not just any clam, dum dum," she said, crossing her arms as her green shell glinted faintly. "That was an abyssal clam that walked the path of two daos, a supreme being of this forbidden lands in its own right."

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Tang Yue struggled to grasp.
