Ai Changyuan lay on the ground, spitting out the blood in his mouth until, unexpectedly, a molar came out along with it. Looking disgustedly at the tooth, he mulled over it, "Should I just progress to Golden Core already? Not being able to chew hard things for years doesn't feel too good. I actually quite like gnawing on nuts."
While looking for a fixed point for Wu Shiqin, he came across a shallow footprint. The rocks on the sea's surface often had a soft layer of lichen, which made it easy to leave footprints. Ai Changyuan was certain his partner hadn't fallen near here. Hence, the footprint must have belonged to the "monkey that escaped from the landmass." After confirming the danger nearby, he abandoned the idea of taking Wu Shiqin deeper into the island and contacted his teammates along the seashore instead. He also used the calculator to communicate, as a means to probe for potential enemies in the vicinity.
