Whisker remained with the beast throughout the night, the warmth from its body never lowering in the slightest. Even so, the surroundings did get colder as the night deepened with more Yin being drawn in from the surface.
Thankfully, Whisker was able to handle it and didn't succumb to it like he did previously.
Then at the end of the night, the tortoise rattled awake. It stopped cultivating and instead readied to leave.
Whisker grabbed tightly onto its shell, not wanting to be left behind.
The tortoise slowly moved up through the sludge, making its way up toward the warmer regions. Whisker could tell it was just around the time when the other beasts were going to make their way back down to absorb more Elixir.
No beast came in the way of the tortoise as it was the only beast with a Sunheart in this territory.
