Inside the fish's belly, a golden heart was shimmering with specks of Immortal Light.
A black Profound Iron resembling an anchor pierced through this heart, firmly pinning it to the shore.
Su Mu couldn't move this whale's corpse earlier because the black Profound Iron anchor had nailed it to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, the heart was slightly trembling, so subtly that one might not notice if they didn't look carefully.
The heart was still beating!
That means... the whale wasn't completely dead!
...
Su Mu felt an extremely faint trace of Vitality Power from this heart, like a flickering candlelight in eternal night, which could go out at any moment.
This fish, stranded here for who knows how many days, with its heart pierced and most of its body eaten, yet it hadn't died!
The stench of decay was so overwhelming moments ago that Su Mu hadn't noticed this whale still held a spark of life.
