After dealing with the mermaid before her, Su Xi looked intently at the scene in front of her.
This fellow clearly wasn't prepared to talk properly, forcing her to resort to such means.
This method of soul-searching could yield the information she wanted, but it consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
Moreover, the mermaid’s inherent power was already formidable, so extracting her memories now would naturally require even more energy.
"Ah!"
The mermaid began to struggle in her mouth, attempting to escape her current predicament.
However, in Su Xi's grasp, no matter what method she employed, she couldn't break free. She could only watch helplessly as her memories were extracted bit by bit.
After information extraction by the supercomputer, everything was quickly recorded.
Upon seeing everything within the supercomputer, Su Xi was slightly shocked.
From the mermaid's memories, she quickly learned that what the mermaid had said before was true. She also witnessed how the mermaid had devoured her own kind to become what she was now.
Su Xi hadn't expected the mermaid to be so insidious and vicious, and to have survived until now.
After reviewing all of the mermaid's memories, Su Xi looked at the mermaid on the ground, resembling a puddle of mud, and said, "You are so insidious, having committed so many wicked deeds. Now, don't blame me for ridding the world of evil."
"No, I can still give you my蛟珠 (Jiao Pearl), which can guarantee your eternal youth."
As the mermaid spoke, she began to frantically pull things out of herself.
However, Su Xi was not swayed by the current situation. With the items she received, she directly swung her blade.
"Ah."
With a scream, the mermaid's head was cleanly severed.
As the mermaid's head fell to the ground, her body quickly transformed into a naked white long fish.
Just as Su Xi wondered what was peculiar about the fish the mermaid had turned into, she suddenly noticed that Xiao Yanlong had already rushed out.
With Xiao Yanlong's appearance, he immediately swallowed the mermaid whole.
Although the mermaid's body was large, Xiao Yanlong didn't seem to be strained at all as he swallowed her.
On the contrary, a look of indescribable excitement appeared on Xiao Yanlong's face.
"It seems to be very helpful for you," Su Xi said, patting Xiao Yanlong's head and praising him.
Now that Xiao Yanlong had eaten the mermaid, she could clearly feel the changes within his body.
With these changes, Xiao Yanlong's strength had improved significantly.
"Qīqīqī!"
After emitting a shrill sound from his mouth, Xiao Yanlong's body visibly grew by a noticeable margin.
His current size far surpassed that of his mother.
Having gained strength, Xiao Yanlong felt immensely excited and circled Su Xi incessantly.
He knew that he had become so powerful because of Su Xi's help.
Sensing Xiao Yanlong's excitement, Su Xi said, "You don't need to be so excited now; the most important thing is to increase your strength."
Xiao Yanlong nodded as if he understood and then twisted his neck, looking towards the area behind them.
It seemed to be reminding Su Xi that there was something there.
"What is there?" Su Xi asked, a look of confusion appearing on her face.
As far as she knew, there shouldn't be anything there.
However, Xiao Yanlong was constantly wriggling his body, clearly showing a sense of urgency.
Seeing Xiao Yanlong's eager demeanor, Su Xi understood his intention. So, without any apprehension, she turned her gaze towards that area and said, "Alright, let's go and take a look."
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Xiao Yanlong nodded anthropomorphically and moved forward.
For him, since Su Xi had bestowed such a great benefit, he naturally couldn't do nothing in return.
Su Xi followed Xiao Yanlong's footsteps, proceeding onward.
Soon, they followed a narrow passage to a wall, blocking their path.
Seeing the wall in front of her, Su Xi felt a pang of doubt.
Had they taken a wrong turn here?
This place looked very strange. The wall was covered in the traces of time. Apart from the sense of age, there was nothing else here.
Sensing Su Xi's bewilderment, Xiao Yanlong directly rammed into the wall in front of them.
*Rumble.*
With a powerful collision, the wall in front of them shattered into countless fragments.
Behind the wall, a dark opening appeared. As this opening manifested, a strong beam of light immediately emanated from it.
Looking at the dark opening behind her emitting light, Su Xi felt an extreme sense of strangeness.
What in the world was this?
With curiosity, Su Xi walked towards the opening.
She was well aware that fantasizing at this point was useless; only by going closer to see could she understand.
Therefore, she stepped into the opening, wanting to see what was inside.
Upon entering the opening, Su Xi was immediately stunned by the sight before her.
This was outrageous?
Good heavens, there was a mecha in this place.
The mecha in front of her was entirely black, exuding an ancient aura. The feeling was like facing the lord of the universe, a sense of immense pressure.
What was this?
Su Xi looked at the mecha before her, constantly weighing and contemplating its identity.
She was already well-acquainted with the famous mechas in this world.
However, the existence of such a powerful mecha here was inherently abnormal.
Su Xi circled the mecha before her. Other than knowing that it was extraordinary, she couldn't obtain any further information.
Although she didn't know exactly what this mecha was, Su Xi knew it was very powerful, possibly the most powerful mecha she had ever seen.
However, it was strange that such a powerful mecha would be left here.
Just as Su Xi was lost in thought, she suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this mecha.
The mecha was already damaged, and its energy had also depleted.
What a pity.
Discovering the mecha's flaw, Su Xi sighed with regret.
If this mecha weren't damaged, she could have relied on it to become the lord of the universe directly.
Despite her regret, she didn't give up on the mecha.
Since she had obtained the mecha she desired, it would be of great importance for her future strength enhancement.
Su Xi directly activated the mecha and began to observe its surroundings.
Only by understanding if the mecha had any other issues could she better comprehend how to utilize it.
As the mecha unfurled, Su Xi's joy intensified.
Although the mecha before her had some issues, its core structure was intact, and it could even be used.
Having understood this, Su Xi began to infuse power into the mecha.
As these powers were added, the mecha instantly erupted with strong fluctuations, and an apocalyptic pressure spread outwards.
"Qīqīqī!"
Sensing this pressure, Xiao Yanlong began to twist incessantly, clearly feeling immense oppression.
With this oppressive feeling, Xiao Yanlong prostrated himself on the ground, flames constantly emanating from his body.
"Rumble?"
Just as Su Xi noticed Xiao Yanlong's abnormality and prepared to retract her mecha.
However, before she could even act, she discovered that the mecha's energy had been completely depleted, and it immediately went silent.
What?
Seeing that her energy had been exhausted, she was filled with disbelief.
What kind of entity was this that consumed so much energy?
She had poured all her energy into this mecha, but it had only managed to activate for a short while.
She suddenly understood why such a powerful mecha had been abandoned here.
A mecha that consumed so much energy was not something an ordinary person could handle.
"What should I do?"
Su Xi also began to feel anxious.
If she couldn't find a sufficient energy source, how could she make this mecha functional?
If she couldn't activate the mecha, then keeping it would be meaningless.
While pondering, Su Xi suddenly realized something.
Wasn't the Earth's Core Energy the best energy source?
As long as she obtained the Earth's Core Crystal, she could activate this behemoth.
With this thought, Su Xi became instantly excited.
Doing things for others was never as satisfying as doing things for oneself.
Once she had this mecha, she wouldn't have to worry even if Tian Feng made a move outside. In fact, Tian Feng should be the one worrying.
"Let's quickly go and get the Earth's Core Crystal," Su Xi's heart burned with fervor, and she began to lead Xiao Yanlong towards the depths of the earth.
The deeper they went, the more intense the heat they felt.
The extreme high temperature forced Su Xi to put on her mecha to withstand the heat.
However, while it could ward off the heat, Su Xi knew her mecha couldn't last for too long.
"Where is the Earth's Core Crystal?" Su Xi asked Xiao Yanlong, eager to find the crystal quickly.
After all, the easier it was to find the crystal, the less risk they would have to bear.
Xiao Yanlong raised its neck and pointed in a certain direction, indicating the energy of the Earth's Core Crystal.
Seeing the direction Xiao Yanlong pointed, Su Xi didn't hesitate and moved forward.
Indeed, not long after, she saw a perfectly round sphere with a bright sheen, floating above the flames.
As the flames burned, this transparent bead became increasingly luminous.
Earth's Core Crystal?
Although Su Xi wasn't entirely sure, she could directly recognize this object as the Earth's Core Crystal.
Without further hesitation, she reached out to grab it.
However, as soon as she extended her hand, an intense heat surged, and the mecha on her body instantly melted.
