Han Sen stared down the cliff and was shocked. So were Jin Rijie, Jin Qiuli and Sun Minghua.
They had followed the turtle for two days, which had gone deeper and deeper. They felt something must be wrong, they were already on the cliff.
Under the cliff was a gushing lava pool. And the turtle crawled into the pool as if it were water.
The group did not see the turtle emerging again.
"Was its killed by the heat from the lava?" Jin Rijie guessed.
"Although creatures were not as smart as people, I have never seen a suicidal one," Jin Qiuli shook his head and said.
Sun Minghua suddenly said excitedly, "I know!"
"What do you know, Professor?" Asked Han Sen.
"You should remember I've told you that the creatures normally eat plants in order to give birth. After leaving the ocean, the turtle had consumed lots of plans in Copper Mountains. Maybe its goal was to give birth here," said Sun Minghua in excitement.
