Su Xi felt immense pressure from the intense energy before her.
How could she resolve this situation in such extreme heat?
Seeing this, Su Xi looked at Xiao Yan Python by her side with a hint of helplessness.
If this guy got too close, she didn't know how quickly they would meet their end.
They were utterly helpless. Even with the energy right before them, they couldn't obtain it.
Xiao Yan Python felt extremely anxious seeing this.
It could sense that the thing before them was incredibly important and precious. But being unable to obtain it now was truly terrible.
What to do?
Xiao Yan Python circled Su Xi restlessly, contemplating solutions.
The situation was so clear, yet they couldn't get what they desired.
Su Xi looked at the anxiety on Xiao Yan Python's face and felt a wave of helplessness.
It wasn't that she didn't want to obtain it, but there was genuinely no way.
Just as they were considering giving up, Su Xi suddenly thought of a possibility.
This thing was completely different from what she had imagined.
Su Xi took out the Judge's Brush from her person and slowly extended it forward.
Despite the fierce flames before her, Su Xi had a vague feeling that this place was not normal.
Xiao Yan Python watched Su Xi's actions with disbelief.
Could this place truly be dealt with?
It was already so obvious before, how could Su Xi's simple brush be useful?
Su Xi looked at the scene unfolding before her and began to reach out.
Unbeknownst to her, beads of sweat had already started to appear on her forehead.
In this situation, she herself was not entirely sure.
If something truly went wrong, she would have lost a treasure for nothing.
The moment the Judge's Brush touched the Earth Core Flame, a surge of heat washed over them.
What to do?
Su Xi watched as the Judge's Brush in her hand instantly turned red. She couldn't help but sigh, defeated again.
Facing something so close yet unattainable was utterly meaningless.
However, just as Su Xi was about to give up, she suddenly felt a strong change in the Judge's Brush in her hand. The brush, which should have melted, suddenly emitted a radiant light.
The instant this light appeared, the flames around the Earth Core not only failed to melt the Judge's Brush but instead began to condense into a single point.
"What's happening?"
Su Xi had no idea what was going on, but she clearly couldn't miss this opportunity.
Taking advantage of the moment the Judge's Brush repelled the surrounding flames, she swiftly reached out and grasped the Earth Core Crystal.
As the Earth Core Crystal entered her palm, a warmth spread through her.
It felt like holding a warm egg, its heat steadily warming her palm.
How strange.
Su Xi was filled with shock. Simply holding the Earth Core Crystal, she felt her magical power, which had been depleted, completely replenish, returning to a perfect state.
The energy she had expended fighting the mermaid was now fully restored.
Xiao Yan Python was also overjoyed to see Su Xi obtain the Earth Core Crystal.
With the Earth Core Crystal, Su Xi would become even stronger. If Su Xi could live well, then its new life would also become better.
Just as Su Xi was about to fully appreciate the Earth Core Crystal in her hand, she suddenly sensed that the Earth Core Flames before her were becoming agitated. Following this, streaks of flame began to leap, like living spirits.
As Su Xi watched the flames, unsure of what was happening, she suddenly felt an intense sense of danger.
The flames, which had only been contained underground, began to surge outwards.
Like volcanic lava, it was horrifying.
Wherever the volcanic lava flowed, nothing could survive.
The entire cavern, corroded by the surrounding lava, began to collapse.
With the onset of this collapse, Su Xi immediately realized something was wrong.
Even with her exceptional strength, she couldn't endure this. If the entire ground collapsed, she would be buried alive. Moreover, with the appearance of these flames, countless more were emerging, leaving no chance for even a complete corpse.
Run.
This was the only thought Su Xi could muster.
Su Xi exerted all her strength, desperate to escape the place as quickly as possible.
Yet, despite her speed, the lava relentlessly pursued her, and the distance between them continued to shrink.
Su Xi looked back at the pursuing volcanic lava, knowing that if she didn't escape quickly, she would be trapped here forever.
Therefore, for her own safety, she had to leave this place as soon as possible.
So now, she donned the mecha she had obtained and attached the Earth Core Crystal to herself.
As the Earth Core Crystal merged with the mecha, a powerful surge of energy filled it.
"Whoosh!"
With a gust of wind, the mecha shot forward.
In the blink of an eye, Su Xi burst out of the underground passage, leaving the entire volcanic eruption far behind.
Wu Tian, who had been waiting at the entrance, eagerly awaited Su Xi's appearance to obtain what he desired.
Su Xi knew she couldn't stay inside long and fled directly.
As she escaped, she soon saw Wu Tian before her.
But before Wu Tian could restrain her, she was instantly sent flying.
Under the immense impact, Wu Tian was powerless to resist, crashing to the ground with no further movement.
Looking at Wu Tian on the ground, Su Xi felt no sympathy. Instead, her gaze turned to the elderly Tian Feng in the distance.
He alone was her true target.
Elder Tian Feng watched as Su Xi emerged from the cave and quickly walked towards her, taking a deep breath.
With that breath, he sensed an intense aroma.
Accompanied by this potent scent, he knew clearly that Su Xi had obtained the Earth Core Crystal.
Knowing that Su Xi had acquired the Earth Core Crystal, he didn't make a move for the moment. Instead, he extended his hand towards Su Xi and said, "Now that you have obtained the item, hand it over."
Su Xi looked at Elder Tian Feng and shook her head. "Do you really think I would believe you?"
?
What?
Elder Tian Feng looked at Su Xi, not understanding her meaning.
Was she unaware of the situation, of his superior strength?
If he were to make a move, even an immortal couldn't save her.
Su Xi looked at Elder Tian Feng and said, "If I agree to you now, won't I have no way to survive?"
From his demeanor, she understood clearly what Elder Tian Feng intended to do. She knew that if she handed over the item, Elder Tian Feng would silence her.
Moreover, the item was already integrated with her mecha, so she definitely wouldn't give it up.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Elder Tian Feng realized Su Xi would not willingly hand over the item, but he wasn't worried.
After all, only he knew how to use the Earth Core Crystal. To others, it was merely a useless stone.
Since Su Xi refused to hand it over, he didn't mind wasting a little effort to make her comply.
With this thought, Elder Tian Feng slowly raised his hand. "Since you refuse a toast and prefer a rebuff, you cannot blame me."
As soon as his words fell, a barrage of attacks ensued.
Accompanied by a sky full of yellow sand, Su Xi felt a surge of anger.
This guy, appearing before her again.
If they showed up, wouldn't they attack her?
The yellow sand blotted out the sun, countless particles appeared, and then they enveloped Su Xi.
Within the encirclement, Su Xi suddenly struck.
She threw a punch towards the yellow sand, attempting to break through the defense.
Unfortunately, her punch felt like striking a solid steel plate, achieving nothing.
Faced with this, Su Xi's expression changed slightly.
As expected, Elder Tian Feng was not easy to deal with.
Elder Tian Feng's smile widened as he saw Su Xi falter.
He suddenly changed his hand seals, and the yellow sand in the sky began to rain down like a torrential downpour.
In mere moments, this falling yellow sand buried Su Xi.
Not only did the yellow sand bury Su Xi, but it also completely immobilized her. The countless grains made it impossible for her to breathe.
Elder Tian Feng smiled as he saw Su Xi buried beneath the yellow sand.
This seemingly fluffy sand possessed immense destructive power.
In a short while, it could turn Su Xi into scrap.
Then, he only needed to clear away the sand to obtain what he desired.
However, before his smile could fully bloom, he saw Su Xi burst out from the buried yellow sand.
?
How could this be?
Seeing the situation, he found it impossible to believe.
Everything was supposed to be within his control. Why was this happening?
Although he didn't understand, Elder Tian Feng knew he couldn't let Su Xi escape.
The metal contraption on Su Xi didn't seem ordinary.
At this moment, Su Xi didn't let herself be attacked further. Instead, she chose to strike first, taking the initiative.
Because of this, she activated her mecha and charged towards Elder Tian Feng.
"Hum~"
The mecha moved swiftly towards Elder Tian Feng.
Seeing Su Xi charging at him, Elder Tian Feng quickly responded.
With a powerful wave of his hand, a series of attacks appeared. The yellow sand formed a giant, towering before them.
This sand giant repeatedly swung its fists, directly confronting Su Xi.
