Yang Tian looked at the colorful fist-sized beast core in his hand. He was surprised to find that there was a very thin layer of transparent film on its surface. He could easily scrape it off with his fingernails, and energy could be released from the gaps in the film.
Yang Tian finally understood why he couldn't sense any beast cores under the bone layer.
Only exotic beasts like the Little Blue Dragon and the Little Green Tortoise could 'smell' the scent of beast cores.
Beiya didn't have this ability, so his efforts were destined to be in vain. They dug three pits that were five meters deep, all the way to the rocks under the bone layer, but they didn't find a single beast core.
The Little Blue Dragon and the Little Green Tortoise seemed to be in a competition. They dug into the pile of bones and pulled out a beast core every few minutes.
After working for half an hour, Beiya angrily threw the tool in his hand far away. He finally understood that the beast cores under the bone layer weren't something that could be dug out by luck.
"Pa!"
The shovel that Beiya threw landed on the bone layer not far away, making a crisp sound.
Suddenly, a strong wave of energy came from the shovel.
The three of them turned around at the same time and looked in that direction. The energy wave under the bone layer was getting stronger and stronger.
"Hahaha …"
Beiya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud and ran towards the shovel.
Obviously, the shovel that he threw out casually most likely hit a beast core, and the film that formed naturally on the surface of the beast core was rubbed off.
However, Beiya was happy too early. Before he reached the shovel, the Little Green Tortoise suddenly popped out from under the bone layer, almost knocking Beiya away.
Little Green Tortoise came out from under the bone layer with a blue crystal the size of a football in its mouth.
"This is mine, this is mine …"
Seeing this, Beiya went up and hugged the blue crystal in the Little Green Tortoise's mouth, crying out sadly.
The Little Green Tortoise shook its head and knocked him to the side.
Afterwards, the little green turtle raised its head and swallowed the blue crystal before sucking Huie Chanchan into its stomach.
After finishing all this at an extremely fast speed, Little Green Turtle retracted its four limbs and head into its thick, solid turtle shell.
A moment later, energy fluctuations that were sometimes strong and sometimes weak were emitted from the little green turtle's body.
"I found this on the spot. You stole my beast core …"
Northern Cliff had finally found an invaluable beast core, but it was snatched away by the little green turtle. He was furious, so he jumped onto the little green turtle's back and stomped on it, wanting the little green turtle to return it to him.
"Don't move!" Yang Tian said, "That blue crystal shouldn't be a simple beast core."
Beiya jumped down from Little Green Turtle's back and sighed helplessly.
Yang Tian smiled and tossed a colorful beast core that the Little Blue Dragon had found to Beiya. "This is for you, to make it up to you."
Beiya took the beast core and chuckled, embarrassed. "I was just playing around. This place is too oppressive."
Yang Tian nodded and looked around.
Earlier, he had used his mental power to scan the area, but he couldn't find the exit.
It seemed like this was a place where one could enter but not exit.
However, the strange program had sensed the faint energy fluctuations of runes in the cave. It was collecting and calculating.
Although it couldn't find the exit, Yang Tian was still vigilant to prevent Wu Lu from suddenly barging in.
Wu Lu was already here. This was something that the strange program had already confirmed. When Wu Lu broke through the formation, Yang Tian could clearly feel the runes' energy fluctuations.
Evidently, Little Green Turtle had entered a state of cultivation. Stronger and stronger energy fluctuations were emitted from its body.
More than ten minutes later, the little green turtle's shell actually lit up and emitted a faint green halo.
Beiya took out the fist-sized beast core that Yang Tian had given him and put it into his storage ring. He was very excited. He was afraid of being poor.
Ever since he left Source Island, he had never obtained such a high grade beast core. The owner of this beast core was at least an expert on the same level as Wu Lu.
If he could absorb the energy of this beast core, his cultivation would definitely increase greatly.
Seeing Beiya's excited appearance, Yang Tian smiled. "Now that we have time, teach me the common language of the Star Ocean!"
Beiya nodded and put away the beast core in his hand.
Learning a language was very simple for Yang Tian. All he had to do was remember the grammar and pronunciation.
Beiya started from the common language, and Yang Tian followed along and basically memorized it.
Even if he couldn't remember it, he still had the help of the strange program. It recorded the entire process of Beiya's teaching and analyzed the language.
The Little Blue Dragon didn't stay idle. It kept moving under the bone layer and only stopped after several hours.
There were basically no more beast cores under the bone layer.
Previously, Little Green Turtle had found a total of five beast cores. Including the blue crystal, there were six beast cores in total.
As for Little Blue Dragon, it had obtained a total of 73 beast cores.
These beast cores were of different sizes. The smallest was the size of a thumb, while the largest was the size of Yang Tian's fist.
The blue crystal that Little Green Turtle had obtained was probably the most valuable one. Thus, it stopped searching and immediately started absorbing the crystal's energy.
In a few hours, Yang Tian had learned the common language of this world.
Just as Yang Tian was trying to communicate with Beiya in the new language, Little Green Turtle changed once again.
Its shell that was emitting a green glow suddenly dimmed as its head, tail, and four limbs slowly extended out. It then opened its mouth and let Huie Chanchan out.
Huie Chanchan was sitting in a lotus position with her eyes closed. Her body was emitting the same green glow as the previous turtle shell. She looked extremely holy.
After looking at Huie Chanchan, Yang Tian suddenly noticed that Huie Chanchan's temperament had become more mature. It was as if she had suddenly grown up by five or six years.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the entire cave shook.
Next, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the bone layer in front of Yang Tian.
Wu Lu had finally appeared in front of Yang Tian.
At this time, Huie Chanchan opened her eyes as well.
The moment she opened her eyes, Huie Chanchan's body began to emit a powerful ripple of energy. Wu Lu, who had suddenly appeared, was shocked and instinctively took a step back.
The strength of the ripple of energy surprised Yang Tian as well. That was because Huie Chanchan's energy had caught up to his.
This speed of improvement was too … insane.
In Wu Lu's eyes, his main opponent was still Yang Tian. While he did not understand how Huie Chanchan had suddenly become so powerful, he quickly turned his attention to Yang Tian and said calmly, "You can't run away. I will take you out of the Moyi Cave and send you to the altar!"
Yang Tian shook his head and smiled as he said in a foreign language, "We can't go back. Don't you know that the Moyi Cave is a place of no return?"
