Sitting on the raft, Lu Yuan did not leave, because the giant beast seemed to really be going to find dimensional crystals for him.
"Could it be... that dimensional crystals also exist at the bottom of the sea?"
Lu Yuan held his dimensional crystal in his hand and looked at it. It didn't emit any light: "Why isn't this dimensional crystal glowing to indicate anything? Could it be that the depth of the seabed has exceeded the detection range of the dimensional space, so it's not showing anything?"
Lu Yuan secretly speculated, but he still couldn't come to a real conclusion.
Looking at the dim ocean radiating a soft light, Lu Yuan felt much calmer. He knew that he seemed to have reached an agreement with this giant beast, and what the beast needed was the golden fruit he had just taken out. He was also about to leave this place, and now the only problem was the fruit. As long as it could guarantee that he and his people could leave safely, then most of the problems for this journey would be solved.
Recalling the appearance of this behemoth, Lu Yuan still couldn't see its full form. The behemoth was simply too big, but in terms of outline, it looked like a large carp, its entire body covered with armor-like scales.
Moreover, its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and it even had a tongue, which was something he had never seen in any carp. The size and length of this carp were beyond his comprehension; it could practically be called a carp spirit.
After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Yuan was even thinking of leaving when suddenly the sea surface experienced another violent surge.
Lu Yuan steadied the small boat by holding onto both sides, and sure enough, he saw the giant beast surface again. When it saw Lu Yuan, a look of satisfaction flashed in its eyes, and then it opened its big mouth and stuck out its huge tongue again.
The moment its tongue was spread out, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Because its tongue was flashing with multicolored light under the moonlight, and the dimensional crystal in his hand was also emitting a strong light, a scene he had never seen before.
"Could it be... really dimensional crystals?" Lu Yuan shone his flashlight over and, sure enough, saw a pile of dimensional crystals on his tongue.
This amount of dimensional crystals far exceeds the number of dimensional crystals he previously collected in the mining area of District 5.
After all, 80% of the crystals collected in Zone 5 are catalyst minerals, which cannot be used to upgrade the dimensional space at all. The remaining 20% are not very effective either, and are far from the crystals indicated on the dimensional crystal map.
Each of the dimensional crystals on the giant beast's tongue is a regular hexagon, reflecting five-colored light under the moonlight, making it quite beautiful.
The giant beast's tongue moved, and Lu Yuan quickly paddled the water with his hand to move the small boat to the other side.
He reached out and carried all the crystals from the giant beast's tongue onto the small boat, carefully counting them; there were over a hundred in total.
This was the first time Lu Yuan had ever seen so many dimensional crystals. His heart pounded, so he took out a large pile of fruit, didn't count them, and put them directly onto the giant beast's tongue.
After all, this giant beast was very trustworthy, and Lu Yuan didn't want to be the kind of person who didn't keep his word.
With a flick of its tongue, the giant beast swallowed all the golden fruits again. A moment later, it spewed out a huge spray of water from its nostrils, its eyes softened, and it even waved its large tail happily a couple of times.
However, its two waving of its tail made the surrounding waves even bigger, and Lu Yuan had to hold onto the sides of the small boat for a long time to keep it from capsizing.
The giant beast was satisfied, and so was Lu Yuan. He hadn't expected that the giant beast had actually hoarded so many dimensional crystals. What intrigued him even more was that the giant beast had managed to discover his golden fruit.
Lu Yuan checked the time; he had been outside for three or four hours already. It was time to go back, so he prepared to say goodbye to the giant beast and leave.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Yuan rowed the small boat to leave, but after only a few dozen meters, the giant beast caught up with him again.
Is there anything else you need?
Lu Yuan shouted loudly at it, and the giant beast closed its eyes slightly, as if nodding.
"Then what do you want?"
Thick, foul-smelling gas once again spewed from the beast's nostrils, causing Lu Yuan to instinctively cover his mouth and nose.
Unfortunately, although the giant beast could understand Lu Yuan's words, it could not speak human language or communicate telepathically. Lu Yuan did not know what the beast needed, but he could sense that the beast was eager to get something from him again.
However, Lu Yuan looked at himself and then at the dimensional crystal in his hand, feeling that he didn't have anything to give to the other party. So after thinking for a while, he decided to throw out a few more cows.
However, to Lu Yuan's surprise, the giant beast gently flipped its tongue to the side, throwing all the cows into the sea. Lu Yuan was greatly shocked when he saw this scene.
"Didn't you want food?"
Lu Yuan secretly guessed that the reason why this giant beast followed him was probably because it lacked food, after all, such a huge disaster had occurred all over the world.
Aside from land creatures, almost all of them went extinct. Marine creatures also perished countless times due to the high temperatures of the first year. Given the enormous size of this beast, it must have needed to consume a large amount of food to survive.
